stack the 18th of this month and saw the
alleged black and gray smoke issue several
continue for a period Of more than two
minutes. The inspector told the court that
there had been very material improve
ment In the matter of smoke emissions at

A Partisan Horse Banquet.

From the New York Tribune.
The fact that Paris has opened a new
city slaughter house covering two acres, to
be devoted exclusively to the killing OF
horses, donkeys and mules for food. serves
as an indication of the growing popularity
OF horsefiesh as an article of food in the
worlds pleasure capital. Even at present
1t requires 5000 horses. donkeys and mules
annually to satisfy the demand for this
addition to the Partisan menu. and the in
auguration of the new slaughter house with
q banquet in which horse and donkey flesh
were the only meats used probably will
tend to increase the demand.
A year or two ago six hundred Beriinese
sat down to a similar banquet, where horse
soup. picked horse tongue, flet of horse
and roast horse were the edible attractions.
The Berlin banquet was under the auspices
of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals %. and the banquet was in
tended as demonstration of the nourish-
ing and palatable qualities of horse meat
and to popularize II as an article of food.
In reality 1t was during the siege of Paris
In the Franco-Prussian war that Parisiaus
acquired the, taste for horsefiesh, and the
facts above stated show that the popular
prejudice, both in Berlin and In Paris, Is
rapidly giving way as regards the use OF
such meat To go back still further. Chi
nese epicures hundreds OF years ago highly
esteemed baked colts flesh as one OF the
jndispensables OF Q banquet.

THE. RED MANS RIGHTS.
Can Hunt in All Seasons, but Often
Oversteps the Bounds.

From the Duluth Herald.
Sportsmen returning from hunting in the
vicinity of northern Minnesota Indian
reservations says the scarcity of game in
certain sections can be accounted for only
on the theory that the Indians have been
killing the animals during the fall and
early summer, both on and off their re-
serves. The city men are indignant that
this should be So They claim to have posi-
tive proof from the settlers to the effect
that the red men have overstepped their
bounds in the hunting of deer and moose
This Indian proposition is one that &C.
casions a great deal of worry to game war
dens in the part of the state where reserva-
tons are located. Laws governing the In
dams in this respect are little understood
by the whites in general, but they are such
that the conviction of any of these wards or
the government for breaking them is made
exceedingly difficult, II not entirely i'm
possible.
After taking his lands from him. or most
of them, it would i'll become the govern
ment II 1t did not allow the Indian the
privilege of hunting at all seasons when
wild game is eatable. This privilege is ac-
corded him, but only on the reservations.
He is not supposed to hunt at all in the
outside forests unless such hunting Is done
in the open season for game, and some so
read the law that he has not the right to
kill game at any timeAunless hunting in the
reservation.
The Indians know the law and are care
full to see that they are not caught break
ing it, though in many instances they live
so far from a game warden that they be-
come careless, and open violations are said
to be frequent. But even in cases of this
kind 1t is no easy matter to secure a con-
viction, for, even though the proper man
be arrested, it Is difficult to get proof
against him The red men are careful to
protect one of their own number and stol-
idly refuse to testify against him, especial
~ in affairs of this kind. AS a general
to such violations and lets the Indian
hunter do as he will. Even when the
hunter knows game warden is in his
vicinity he can. usually contriye to bring
down his game and get 1t into the reser-
walton before being detected.

HOLIDAY LIQUOR BILL
RECONSIDERATION MADE By COM
MISSIONER MCFARLAND.
Suggests That Provisions Be Limited
to Christmas and New
Year Day.

Commissioner Macfarland today recon-
mended that the holiday liquor bill now be-
fore the Commissioners for report be
amended 50 that 1t will provide for closing
the bar rooms in the District on Christmas
and New Year day only, in addition to sun
days The bill, which has been introduced
In Congress, provides for the closing OF
saloons In the District on Washingtons
birthday. Independence day, Decoration
day, Thanksgiving day, days of presiden-
tia! election and Inauguration day, In ad-
dition to Christmas and New Year day.
Commissioner Macfarland's reasons for
suggesting the amendment of the proposed
bill are given in the following statement,
made by the Commissioner today:
In view of the statement by the cor
poration counsel that Massachusetts, Indi-
ana and Michigan have on their statute
DOCKS laws similar to that proposed in the
bill referred to the Commissioners, and
that his search for similar statutes was
not exhaustive, think that a beginning
should be made toward closing saloons on
Mondays and other special days besides
Sunday. In view of the statements made
by the major and superintendent of police
as to the difficulty of enforcing such law
on Inauguration day, and of the lack Of
great necessity for 1t on Washington's
birthday. Fourth of July, Thanksgiving
day and the day Of the presidential cleo
ton. and the statement of the assessor OF
the District that It is general custom for
saloons in the District to give away in
toxfcating beverages on New Year day and
Christmas day, Il move that the Commits
sioners report in favor of substituting for
the provision of the bill one providing for
closing the saloons on New Year day and
Christmas day..
If this legislation should be enacted and
should work well Congress might be asked
to extend it to other days. The made
quacy Of the police force, according to the
reports Of the major and superintendent.
to meet the demands already made upon 1t
by existing statutes and regulations is a
reason why nothing more than has been
suggested should be attempted at this
time"

Winter Flowers From Bulbs.
From Country Life in America.

From Country Life in America.
Bulbs are really too easy. The only way
you can fail with them is to buy them too
late. say December, when they are all
shriveled up. or let them lie around in a
warm place. so that the tops start before
the roots get well established. Place your
order in September or even earlier, pot
your bulbs and put them in cool. dark
cellar for six weeks or so. and you will
have a root-growth that will be joy to
behold. When you bring them upstairs.
put the pots under the window sill for a
week. until the young growth gets ac-
customed to the light, and by Christmas
your hyacinths and narcissi should be in
their prime. Roman hyacinths in pans
make the daintiest presents conceivable.
Crocuses want a cooler temperature than
the others. can raise a boxful of fifty
gorgeous tulips all of one variety, which
the Broadway florist would get SO for, at
the mere cost OF the buibs-a dollar and
twenty cents.

VIOLATES SMOKE LAW
REGARDING TRUM-
BULL STREET PUMPING STATION.
Commissioners West and Biddle and
Senator Stewart Make an In
spection Of Plant.

Every time a new fire is started in the
furnaces at the Trumbull street pumping
station the District of Columbia violates the
smoke law. This was one of the conclu-
sions reached by Commissioners West and
Bic die this morning after an inspection OF
the furnace and stack at the pumping sta
ton The inspection was made by the two
Commissioners in company with Senator
Stewart, member of the Senate committee
on the District of Columbia. Commissioner
Macfarland was unable to accompany the
party on the inspection owing to being de-
taired at the departments, where he had
engagements with cabinet officers.
The purpose of the trip to the Trumbull
str et pumping station was to ascertain II
possible the period dense black smoke is
emitted from the stacks of large plants
when fires are kindled in the furnaces. The
inspection was made in connection with the
legislation on the smoke nuisance which Is
Just now agitating the public mind to an
unusual extent
Several days ago it was determined to
pay a visit to the Trumbull street station,
and late yesterday afternoon the supertn-
teIdent of the plant was notified to defer
building the fire in one of the boilers until
after the arrival Of the Commissioners ana
Senator Stewart The inspecting party
went to the station about 10 o'clock this
morning. After the arrival of the Commits
sioners and Senator Stewart the fireman
made preparations for starting the 1re. lie
placed the ordinary pine wood and other
material used for kindling in the furnace
and touched match to the kindling. the
mem bers of the inspecting party then took
a position outside the plant where they
could observe the stack to advantage.
..- Period Of Emission.
During period of four minutes and forty
five seconds, Commissioner West declared,
dense black smoke belched forth from the
tall chimney in large quantities. The smoke
emission began he said, after the coal hao
been rlaced on the lire.
Superintendent w A. Mcfarland of the
water department, who directed the ex-
pertinent, declared that the conditions at
the pumping station, with its tall stack
creating a good draft, were advantageous
to the prevention of the emission of dense
black smoke.
1t is stated that at The pumping station,
in order to prevent too rapid heating of the
boilers, the furnace is stocked by hand for
about two hours after starting the fre
After that period, it is stated the mechanl-
cal stoker is used, and the smoke emissions
are practically obviated The fireman at
the plant was asked by the Commissioners
If it would be possible to prevent smoke IN
starting the fires. The fireman replied that
it might be possible If coke were used, Out
he was not certain of the results.
In speaking of the experiment this after
noon Commissioner West said: THE test at
the Trumbull street pumping station this
morning made it certain to my mind that
it is Ior large plants impossible not to Vlo-
late the law as it is at present.
