PRICE OF MEAT.
II Continues to Rise in the CHICAGO
Markets,

Chicago. July 29.-Although the man.
ayers of the packing companies claim to
have enough men working so that their
production is almost normal in several OF
the plants, the price of meat continues
to rise In local markets This is largely
due to the fact that the products of the
big plants have been almost wholly sent
to outside points. The meat served to
Chicago customers nearly all comes from
the Independent plants.
Figures obtained at the five largest in
dependent packing houses in the yards
where there Is no strike in progress show
that these plants have more than doubled
their force of men and their output OF
meat. The three are working in three
shifts of eight hours each and the killing
and preparing of the meat is continued
day and night.
Previous to the strike these five plants
were employing 40 men. This force has
been increased to 800 The weekly output
Of the plants has been increased from $500
cattle, 800 hogs, and 400 sheep. slaughter
ed before the strike, to 500 cattle. 1850
hogs. and TO- 100 sheep for the week ending,
yesterday. All of this meat goes TO sup
ply retail markets in Chicago.
J. J. Redden of the Sheet Metal Work
ers' Union, has instructed members OF
the union outside of Chicago to make no
cans for the packing companies involved
in the strike.

Indian Girls as Housemaids.

The question has often been asked:
Is it possible to take girls from the
wild, free life of the prairie and tram
them for domestic service? practlcal
answer to the question has been re-
turned by the management OF the Lin
coin Institute of Philadelphia, train
ing home for Indian girls and boys un-
der the wing of the Protestant Episco-
pal church. Among the pupils at this
institution are girls from the Winnie
bago, Mohawk, Chippewa. Oneida,
Seneca, Onondaga, Menominee, Tus-
carOra, Cheyenne and Sioux nations. A
thorough training is given the girls III
cooking, sewing, washing ana IRONING
and the general work of domestic
Most OF the girls arrive at the institu-
ton with tendency to act like little
Indians. and when punished for fault
become sulky anC unmanaSeable.
These objectionable traits, however,
speedily yield to kind but firm treat
ment, and once the girls become inter-
ested in their duties they are tractable
and easily taught.
Strange to say, the sewing school is
presided over by a woman who has
been blind almost all her life, and for
nearly quarter of Il century has
taught sewing without being able to sec
one of her pupils or the work they do.
She is able 10 tell by the sense of touch
alone whether or not girl is doing her
work properly. She knows the sound
of each girls voice. The girls are
taught to sing together, and they sing
exceedingly well.
The girls have all been given civil
lied names but some insist on cling
ing to the names they were known by
among their relatives. Thus Miss Mag
gle Jones is better pleased when called
Maggie Red Shirt. Ella Brown doesn't
care to be addressed in any other way
than as Little Standing Bear. and
Mabel Johnson is almost insulted If re-
ferred to by any name but Running
Wolf. Among themselves the girls
maintain the attributes popularity sup
posed to be typical of Indians. They
are not talkative do not romp, go
about their duties or their play in a
serious way, are not quarrelsome, do
not ''chum." but seem to live quite
happily as sort of big family party,
and behave at all times sedately and
with natural grace Of demeanor that
is very attractive. Mary of the Indian
girls are quite pretty. Some bear so
little resemblance to the popular idea
of what "Rosalie. the Prairie Flower"
should look like as to call into question
in the mind Of the beholder the clear
strain of their blood. AS a matter Of
fact, there are scarcely any girls in the
home who are not pure blooded In
dians.-Leslie's Weekly.

Eight negroes being transported

The Jungfrau boring. which may
fairly be said to rival the Simplon tun-
mel, is approaching completion. In this
case. however, the boring is up. instead
of through the mountain. A height Of
3.l00 yards has already been reached,
and there still remains about 720 yards
to bore. The aim is to get, by
funiculaT line, to the Mer de Glace
which offers one of the finest pano-
ramas of scenery in the world. The
boring. which will be the highest In
Europe, will be finished in time for the
railway to be opened at the end of 1905.
Contrary to medical anticipations, the
men enjoy splendid health working at
the present great elevation.
