UP THE WRONG TREE.

| Mayor Dunno, of Chicago, in present
| ing a proposition for municipal abat-
packing house troubles. The municipal
abattoir as it is familiar in the house
keeping of Paris, Berlin, Vienna, and a
/ hundred lesser European cities, was in
| tended primarily to suppress the small
| unclean slaughter house, which was
menace to the public health. 1t had
no relation to packing houses, because
! these We're unknown then and are
practically unknown now in Europe
i The packing house is an American
development, the result of American
enterprise and genius for doing things.
The municipal abattor was estab-
I lished in Europe for the purpose of
concentrating all the killing at one
place where the condition of each ami
NAL could be submitted to expert in
spection. 1t happens that no abattoir
is needed in Chicago to concentrate the
killing. 1t is concentrated now. What
is needed is inspection. The facilities
ness is oil in one place, all in few
hands. The necessary inspection can
no oh wifi
side of small circles of ground the
necessary reports can be exchanged by
few individuals. A city slaughter
house could do nothing for Chicago ex-
cept to supply fresh meats for the city.
But municipal abattoir could not
solve the inspection problem, because,
as is shown by the expert report to the
president, the necessity of inspection
is present through a dozen Different
processes which succeed the killing of
the animal
The cativity of Chicago is, however,
most commendable, especially the work
of the building inspector, who has
discovered defects in the construction
of the packing house buildings, which
would perhaps have been overlooked
but for this general discussion, and
which might some day have been the
cause of a terrible catastrophe and loss
of life. Nine story buildings with one
or two wooden fire escapes; packing
houses which are neatly walled off
from the fire department; spiral stair
ways, dark stairways, and corners
with no stairways at all; these are
some of the conditions which the pack
ers are called on to remedy immedi-
ately. These reforms alone are worth
the publicity.

PoIiceman's "Rok"

NEW YORK. June 1S.-A squad OF
policemen and others have been busy
since Thursday night searching the in
field of the Gravesend race track tor a
roll of $1,10O which belonged to Police
Captain Finest Lindemann of the
Sheepshetad bay station. The captain
had fair day at the track on Thurs
day and after the last race he cut
across the infield in order to get over
to his precinct quarters as soon as
possible.
He says that he had the wallet con-
tanning s1.100 when he first started to
walk across the grass. The "cops"
who took part in the search think the
captain got too near some member of
the light-ingered gentry and his
pocket was picked, but he is too proud
to admit the fact.

it may be utterly impossible for the
injured employe to guard himself
against danger. For example, a care
less dispatcher makes a mistake by
reason of which two railroad trains
collide. The train employees are in
jured, but the employer is not, under
this act, to escape libaility because
of the blame attaching to the dispatch
er. The trainmen could not protect
themselves against this danger. They
have nothing to say about the en-
ployment of dispatchers or their eff
ficiency, while the employer alone is
responsible. At the same time rail-
road companies have been escaping liza
bility for damages on the principle of
the liability of the co-employe; and
while passengers and owners of freight
have been able to collect damages, in
jured employees or their surviving de-
pendents, have had great difficulty in
doing so. This is manifest injustice
which this legislation is calculated to
remove The bill will go from the
senate to conference, but will undoubt-
eddy pass at this session.
It's success in the senate is attribut-
ed to Senator La Toilette, and is quite
an important result to be accomplished
by new man at his first session.

Only thirty of about ninety fire in
surance companies have shown will
ingness to pay their losses at San
Francisco. The others are either offer
ing from fifty to seventy-fiVe cents on

Hands upr' cried Everett, in q
changed tone.
He could see pair of hands thrust
In the air. The sleeves were full and
resembled domino.
Turn about and march. Quick!'
The figure lost no time in obeying
the order. 1t stepped briskly into the
road. When 1t was out where he could
get a better view of it Benedict saw
flowing garment of some sort over
other clothes. Everett concluded to
fire a shot over the mans head to
hasten his steps. The pistol did not
fire. He pulled the trigger again.
Again it failed.
"What, no load? If you turn I'll

He advanced. caught the figure In
his arms, tore off a mask and in the
dim light recognized Olive.
"For heavens sake" he exclaimed,
what does this mean"
Olive put her hands to her face and
trembled convulsively.
That ended the highway robbery in
cident, and it ended Mr.. Everett's re.
lection. He was lovingly sympathetic,
and when she said he had been I'm.
necessarily fierce even had she been
a real highwayman he begged her to
forgive him.
Everett had had faint suspicion OF
her identity through her voice, which
though well disguised, could not be
made masculine But he never con

The people of San Francisco have
begun to discover that Chinatown was
a trade of 100000 900 annually, mos of
which came from tourists who looked
upon the quarter as worlds curiosity.
Hence it will be difficult either to
suppress Chinatown or to improve it
much. What the tourists examined in
open-mouthed wonder was chiefly it's
dirt To remove that would be to re-
move a prime couse of profitable curl
osity. Altruism is not going to elope
with the new San Francisco.

were lurking lnere at that very mo-
ment. Soon after leaving it they turn
ed into the gateway of handsome
country place.
Benedict Everett after dinner lighted
a cigar and started for the village to
get the evening mail. There was a
glow in the west following the setting
Of the sun. but he scarcely noticed 1t.
He was much in love with the ro-
mantle young lady who had aspira-
lions to be highwayman and had pro-
posed to her She had refused him on
the ground that he was too matter OF
fact. He wished he could find some
method of getting the romance out OF
her. His only objection to 1t was that
It stood between him and her. Once
married, the cares of wife and mother
would soon draw her away from such
schoolgirl nonsense. but he was not an
inventive genius. and no method OF
curing her occurred to him.
An hour later he was returning. 1t
was quite dark. Suddenly in some
high bushes beside the road he heard a
click and In another moment the
words:
Throw up your handsr'
Everett stopped. At the same mo-
ment a masked head appeared above
the bushes, and a revolver was thrust
near his face.
Throw up your handsw said the
voice again.
"My friend" replied Everett, don't
you think l would look very ridiculous
standing here in the road under the
stars with my hands sticking up in the
air?"
Hands up or I shoot!'
"Why shoot? I am perfectly willing
to listen to any demands you have to
make upon me and. if they are reason
able, to satisfy them"

"NIy dear fellow. have no desire to
live. l have just been refused by a
lovely girl. and life will henceforth be
burden to me-"
Meanwhile Benedict. instead of back,

working his way toward the weapon
confronting him, and it was now with

The most wonderful mirages ever be-

seen in the twilight winter days in
northern Alaska. These remarkable

surface of the waste plains instead Of

Mimic lakes and water courses fringed
with vegetation are to be seen pictured
as real as life ON the surface of the
snow, while grassy mounds, stumps
trees, logs, ETC., which have an actual
existence some place on the earth's sur
face, are outlined against mountains OF
snow In all kinds Of fantastic shapes
Some Of these objects are distorted
and magnified into the shapes of huge
ungainly animals and reptiles of enor-
nous proportions. The fOgs and mists
are driven across these wastes by the
winds, and as the objects referred 70
loom up In the flying vapOrs they ap-
pear like living creatures and seem to
be actually moving rapidly across the
plain.
At other times they appear high In
the air. but this Is q characteristic Of
the northern mirages that are seen
near the seashOre. When the vapors
and mists are driven out to sea the
images mirrOred in them appear to be-
lunging through the waters at terrific
rate of speed. dashing the spray high
in the air, while huge breakers roll
over them and onward toward the

times with riders on their backs men

twilight fogs or dashed to pieces upon
