Bill is a handsome red and white
steer and he makes his home In the
stock yards Of Swift & Co. in st. 10
seph, No. He Is 2 years old and Is
one Of the most intelligent animals I'M
aglnable. He is employed as decoy
and he has led many thousands Of bis
kind to their death during the time
he has been in the business of slaugh-
tering.
At one time Bill was the widest of
the Wild steers in the yards. He came
fresh from the Texas ranges and was
as full of life and vigor as it is posi-
bic for steer to be. That was the
reason he was selected to take the
Place in the killing chutes of his pred
ecessor, who had grown old and lit
tie bit lazy. 1t is necessary that the
animal used in this business shall not
grow fat or slothful. He must be en-
ergetic, full of life and willing to
work.
The task of tanning Bill was under
taken and he was soon dOcie animal
and yet full Of vigor and fire. He was
then trained to his work. It took a
long time to teach him, but he finally
learned what was wanted Of him and
he is now perfect decoy. Brig. Peb-
bles of the western territory Of the
Salvation Army, recently took a trip
through the yards of Swift & Co. and
he took a great interest in Bill. Said
Brig. Pebbles:
Il never saw a more intelligent ami
NAL than Bill. He leads about 1000 of
his kind up the killing chute every day
and does 1t with an intelligence that
is remarkable. He takes his place in
front of bunch of cattle and tries to
attract their attention. After he gets
them all to looking in his direction he
starts up the chute and as the leader
nears the end he curls up and allows
those following to pass by. If the
cattle are inclined to hesitate he will
start again for a few feet and then
curl up again, and in this way he
leases them on until they arrive at the
fatal pen. The animal seems to be
gifted with almost human intelligence,
and it is wonderful the way he has
been trained. He seems to take pride
in his work and at times seems to dis
play almost a mischievous delight in
Turing the herds to their DEATH"
Brig. Pebbles tells also Of a big
black ram who leads the sheep to the
slaughter pen. He employs the same
methods as Bill does, but of course he
has an easier position, for sheep are
proverbial for their tendencies to fol-
low the leader. It 10 no difficult mat
ter at all for this black sheep to get
a big flock to follow him up the long
chute that leads to the killing pens.
The foolish animals fall into line and
trail up the steep pathway with pat
tering feet and are soon In the pen,
while the black sheep who lured them
on remains huddled against tho side
Of the fence, ready to go back and call
another bunch Of bleating animals up
the narrow way.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inf1amed
ing and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the infiamma alton can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inf1amed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

TIMELY cor IN THE SUBWAY.
Captured RoEueS' Gallery sta Who Had
Just Captured a $500 pin.

Thomas Lewis of 234 West Thirty-fourth
street, a pickpocket with his picture in the
rogues' gallery, made the mistake Of his
career last evening when he attempted a
transfer of property on a subway train
without taking note of a quiet looking man
who leaned against the door in the vesti-
bule of the car. Lewis took a diamond
pin valued at $500 from f.. B. Woodward OF
Nyack, n. Y, a guest at the Hotel Lucerne.
Woodward caught him in the act, but the
car was so crowded that he could do little
more than protest.
Lewis worked his way toward the door
as the train neared E~ighty-sixth street,
and Woodward followed. demanding the
return of the pin. Policeman George A.
Peterson Of the Telegraph Bureau at Police
Headquarters was the quiet man standin e
by the door, but he looked so inoffensive
in plain clothes that the crook took no notice
of him.
When they reached the vestibule Wood
ward old Lewis that he would knock him
down if he didn't return the pin. Lewis
said that he would give it up if Woodward
would drop the matter there. just then
the train pulled in ct the station and the
crook jumped through the door. Peterson
was close behind him and when Lewis
reached the street made a flying tackle
that ended the chase.
Woodward came upand identified his pin.
Then Peterson gave up home and supper
and marched his prisoner back to Head
quarters. Lewis will be ARA igned in the
morning on a charge of grand larceny.

ROBS IN COLLEGE POLICE SAY.
Waiter with Records at Princeton and Yale
Nabbe in Columbia Gymnasium.

James Morgan, a waiter Of 40 West
Thirty-eighth street, the man who was
caught tampering with a locker in the Co.
lumbia gymnasium last Tuesday, was
Yesterday held over until March 10 by Mag
istrate Wahle in the Harlem police court
to await the arrival OF extradition papers
from New Haven. If the police description
of Morgan's record il right he is an inter-
collegiate champion thief, They say that
he has been robbing students in several
big Eastern universities for the past de-
cade.
Morgan has refused steadfastly to admit
any thefts or to say anything about himself.
The police received information early yes
terday from New Haven that Morgan was
in that place a few months ago and robbed
students of about 50 1000 worth of jewelry
and watches, taken from their gymnasium
lockers.

was taken IN Princeton in 1900 or the oc-
casion Of his being locked up for stealing

Gallery here and that he has served three
terms for theft.
Morgan was captur ed in the act Of break

VOTING MACHINE BILL OUT.
Stanley Measure to Compel Their Use in
Part OF This City Is Reported.

ALBANY, March 2.-The Assembly Cities
Committee to-day reported favorably As
semblyman Stanley's bill to compel the
New York City Board Of Elections to intro
duce voting machines at the next election.
The bill has been amended SO as to re-
quire the Board of Elections to place the
machines in eight Assembly districts in
Manhattan borough and in four Brooklyn
Assembly districts for the next election.
This is to experiment with the machines
and determine their efficiency before any
more are adopted.
1t is believed that this bill has a very
good chance of passing at this session.
It differs in many particulars from the
notorious voting machine bill of former
sessions. That bill created a voting ma
chine commission which was to decide upon
the machine manufactured by the people
behind the scheme. The Stanley bill pro-
vides that the Board of Elections shall
purchase the machines recommended by
the State commission to examine and pass
upon the sufficiency Of voting machines.
This commission consists of Harry De b.
Parsons, of New York city: John H. Barr,
of Ithaca, and Thomas Ewing, of Yonkers.
President Herbert Parsons, of the New
York County Republican Committee, is in
favor of the bill, and Assemblyman Stan
ley says that close friends of Mayor Mo
Clellan nave informed hin that the Mayor
is in favor of the adoption of voting ma
chimes.

competency. The meeting was held under
authority of a law passed in 1903, which
requires that managers shall meet on

Three OF the managers were not present
at the meeting. Mrs. Owen, upon advice
of her attorney, has decided to resist the
removal. She is at the home and will
remain there as heretofore. The managers
have placed Col. Mitchell, the secretary
and treasurer, in" charge. Mrs. Owen,
through her attorney, will appeal to the

SOCIALISTS HERE FOR CONFAB.
Patterson and Other VI. q. Leasuers to
Meet nj j. q. Phelps StOkes's To-day.

1t became known last night that there is
to be a three day conference of prominent
Municipal Ownership Leaguers, Socialists
and reformers in general at the country
home of j. G. Phelps Stokes, at Noroton,
Conn, beginning to-day and lasting until
Monday.
Just what the nature Of the conference
will be could not be learned last night, but
1t was said that a movement would be started
to nationalize the different reform govern
ment throughout the country,
The Noroton conference is responsible
for the presence in this city of Joseph Medill
Patterson, the youthful Chicago reformer,
who only yesterday sent in his resignation
as Commissioner OF Public Works.
Mr.. Patterson has been invited TO take
part in the conference at Mr.. Stokes's coun,
try place. Stokes will be there as will
Robert Hunter, Settlement worker and
brother-in-law Of Mr.. Stokes.
1t was said in some quarters last night
that William Randolph Hearst would at
tend the conference.
Mr., Patterson is at the Holland House.
When seen there last night, he said there
was little he could add to the letter he had
written Mayor Dunno in presenting his
resignation. Young Mr.. Patterson was
plainly in a pessimistic mood, especially
as far as municipal ownership was con-
cerned.
While he did not say so in plain words,
Mr.. Patterson's manner portrayed a marked
feeling that municipal ownership was a
failure, at least under the present state of
affairs. 49,,
Il found myself up against capital
said Mr.. Patterson, "a nd it is an almost
insurmou9tabIe obstacle; There The. i Th mo- hg aitI
beat Won one way or another. The one
thing that capita, can always find refuge
in is delay. The laws at present permit OF
! their getting all the delay they want"
Mr.. Patterson stated point blank that
there was no dissension between him and
| Mayor Dunno. He said that Mayor Dunno
was the best Mayor Chicago ever had. Mr..
Patterson says that he is now an out and out
Socialist, but as to his future plans he Is
undecided.
He couldn't aver say just when he ex;
| pected to return to Chicago. Asked
whether he would continue to make Chicago
his home, or at least his seat Of activity
swer. Ee talked about coal barons, beef
earls, oil dukes and whatnot, and said the
time had COM to end this feuda reign
Mr.. Patterson didn't say how this end was
to be brought about.
