PRESERVING MEAT BY STEAM
An Australian Method That Is large
" Employed on the Large
Steamships.

F
"Kaeping meats sweet and pure in a
refrigerator by means of steam sounds
a bit queer. doesn't it?" l was asked by
George l.. Cameron, superintendent of a
meat packing establishment, who on
tinued in explanation without awaiting
an answer, says the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat. yet that is a method 10Y in
vogue on the big steamers which carry
meats from this country and from Aus
tralia to Europe. Meat placed in refrig-
orators, where the atmosphere is kept
continually at SO to 40 degrees, will re-
main free but not entirely untainted for
N indefinite period.
Il think Australians solved the prob
lem first. They worried over the sub
ject for q long time and adopted .expe-
dent after expedient, tried experiment
after experiment, but all without avail,
until some one thought of using steam to
volatilize the gases which caused these
annoying conditions and draw them off.
A steam pipe was placed in a wooden
duct at the bottom of a refrigerator
chamber stored with meat; the gases OF
This kind are low-lying and the duct led
directly to the brine tanks. This ex-
pertinent occurred at Sydney and for 50
days the refrigerator compartment was
lept closed, at the end Of which time 1t
was opened, the meat drawn forth and
every piece thoroughly tested. 1t was
as fresh and pure, without the slightest
suggestion of bone odor or mold, as on
the day it. was packed. The gases had
been volatilized by the steam, carried
off by the wooden duct, and the entire
noxious condition purified by the brine
tnnlts. With this aid to the refrigerator
process, provided care be taken that the
temperature never falls below freezing
point, save occasionally, so that the meat
VIII not become frozen, meat may row
be kept for years and be perfectly fresh
when taken forth for consumption"

Crane Jury's Action May Close HAIR
lem, Hawthorne and Worth.
CHICAGO, July 27.-After indicthsg
t~wenty-four bookmakers the grand jul
ry ordered Sheriff Barrett to take i'm
mediate steps to stop all gambling at
the race tracks in Cook county. Be
fore leaving the jury room Sheriff Bar
rett promised the jurors that he would
comply with their request in every de-
tail.
If the orders of the grand jury ara
carried out it will mean the absolute
suppression of any bookmaking or
gambling whatever at Harlem, Haw-
thorne and Worth race tracks. With
the ban against betting enforced it is
believed the tracks will be compelled to
close their gates, as was the case at
Washington park when Mayor Carter
Harrison prohibited all forms of bet
ting al the South Side truck in June.
The notification to Sheriff Barrett to
put a stop to all forms Of betting on
the a c tracks under his Jurisdiction
came too late for him to take any ac-
ton in the afternoon, but the sheriff
said that the crusade against the book
makers would begin Immediately at
Hawthorne.
Among the bookmakers who were in
dicted are Fred Cook, owner of English
Lad; Steve rHommedieu, Marcus Cart
wright, b. j. Weller and Barney

GAMBLERS or MONTE CARLO
Side Light on the Methods of the Man-
ayers Of the Notorious
Casino.

In Sir Henry Maxim's hook on Monte
Carlo, lately published in London, he
tells this story of how the managers of
the great gambling establishment
boom" things for the benefit of their
money-making game, says the New
York Times. Referring to the methods
OF the bank in its Dealings with Lord
Rosslyn, of the famous system" and
the late Sam" Lswis, he says:
Upon one occasion these two gentle
men approached a trente-et-quarsnte
table and each staked a maximum of 49,
900 francs upon black. Black came up.
and the bank paid them 1900 francs.
Again they staked the maximum on
black, and again black came up. They
continued stalking on black till they had
scored seven consecutive wins, when the
bank vas said to be broken. A bell was
rung, and an official of the bank ap
preached with considerable ceremony
A demand was made, also with aconsid-
cradle amount of ceremony, for more
money; again, with consid erable cere.
mony, it was delivered, and the play
went on. black coming up every time.
The bank was again broken; more
money was sent for-more ceremony.
This time there was great excitement.
hundreds of people were crowding about
the table, and everybody that could
stake a louis staked on black; and black
continued to come UP for II times.
Then, on the eighteenth coup. which
was red, Lord Iosslyn and Mr.. Lewis
each lost 10000 francs.
"This," says Sir Hiram, was the
longest run | yer witnessed at Monte
Carlo. However. my suspicious were
aroused. | did not believe for a mo-
ment that the bank had actually been
broken. know that there had been
a great deal of play that day, and that
the winnings at this particular table
must have been heavy indeed.
q therefore remained to see the
money taken from the table, when |
found that it vas exactly as | had ex-
pected. There was at least a peck OF
large banknotes. 1t had not been neces-
sary for the bank to send for money at
all; this had only been cone fer effect.
I'll vas telegraphed all over the world
that Lord Rosslyn and Mr.. Sam Lewis
had broken the bank three consecutive
times in a single evening. True, the
ank had lost money, but they turned
tt into a valuable advertisement"

DEFEAT LIKE GREE
US AWAITS PARKER
SAYS PARKER
PLAYED TRICK
Florida Delegate to ST. Louis Dis
pleased With Platform and Nom-
nation.

MOBILE, Ala, July 1S.-Hon. John
/. Beard, one of Florida's d~elegates-at-
large to h Democratic convention in
st. Louis, who is in the city, said to-
day when asked for his opinion of con-
vention work:
81 am naturally not satisfied with
either candidate or platform. ! think
that. the nomination of Judge Parker
was secured by fraud and deception.
Had Judge Parker spoken before
the convention as he did after the
nomination, it is safe to say that he
would never lave received the nomi-
nation.
1.-THE money question was discussed
before the committee on platform for
over fifty hours Judge Parker was
fully advised of differences and Of re-
suits through the press dispatches, if
not by his personal representatives,
but he was as silent as a clam until
after the nomination was made.
Contrast the subterraneous course
of Judge Parker and his representa-
tive on the committee on platform
with Mr.. Bryan's course in 1900. In
1900 the committee was considering
the question as to whether the plat
form should simply reaffirm the Chi
cago platform of 1896, or should, in adj
dition to eaf1rmation of the platform
as a whole, emphasize the money
question by ~re-enacting the plank de-
handing the restoration Of silver, and
when the question was still open be
fore the committee Mr.. Bryan notified
the committee that unless the money
| plank of 1896 was re-enacted he would
not accept the nomination..
"Had Judge Parker sem his tele-
gram to the committee or even to the
convention before the nomination it
would have been as brave and honest
a course as that pursued by Bryan in
1900. But Judge Parker waited for
hours after he had been nominated
and he and his friends felt hat the
action of the convention could not be
undone before he declared his posi-
ton on the money question. 1t was
who condemned Mr.. Bryan in 100 as
a dictator when he gave to the com.
mittee and the convention every op,
portunity by a timely notification OF
his position, now laud Judge Parker
who. by his un,imely notification and
tOrtuOuS actions. gave the committee
no chance and the convention but lit
tie. | think so far from being lauda
tory that Hill and Parker cannot be
too strongly condemned for their trick
upon the currency question
