Special Dispatch to The Star.
NORFOLK, Va, April THE Young
Mems Christian Association of Norfolk has
taken options on several sites and con-
templates erecting building to cost about
100000.
The association leased a site on Main
street from the Selden estate twenty years
ago at an annual rental of $500 and erected
the building 1t now occupies. Property has
advanced an extension of the lease can
not be secured at satisfactory figure and
the association will probably move to the
vicinity OF Freemason and CRANKY streets.

Church With Curtailed Steeple.
From the London Mail.

The historic st. Brides Church, the aged
vicar of which recently died, has had the
novel experience of having its steeple short
IS considered to be one of Wrens master
pieces, was originally 234 feet high, and,
with the exception of ST. Pauls Cathedral
was the highest spire in London 1t was
struck by lightning in 1I54-not the first
time in It's history-and as a result of the
damage was reduced TO 226 feet. A few
years ago 1t became expedient owing to
the action of the weather, to slice off
several feet more, and to strengthen the
structure generally. The steeple of the
original church, destroyed by the great fire,
had a novel claim to notoriety, for one of
the Wears had a bed chamber fitted up in
it in order that he might expend on the
poor the money it would cost to live in a
rectory.

one thing | had observed that the COM
panies pay their men in checks, and
that saloons are the most convenient
places in which these can be cashed;
and that also as a consequence OF the
lack of dining-rooms the men are liter
ally compelled to resort to the saloons
in winter. The packer then dropped
the subject.
Prior to the last strike in Chicago
the union officers made computation,
based upon ten thousand time cnecks'
and found that the average weekly
wage in Packingtown was between 20
and Sc; since the strike, conditions
have of course grown worse. A 1rieno
of mine who has recently been making
investigations for me stated that ne

crcmming machine is composed OF q
feed trough or chamber placed upon
the top of n three-legged. movable
table, as it might be called. with q
plunger in the top, placed there after
the cylinder is filed with the properly
prepared food, and with the pressure
oe the foot upon the lever, the food is
forced through the tube into the crop
Of the fowl.
THE CRAMMER IS AN EXPERT.
The operator in charge Of the cram
ming machine has several assistants
who bring the fowls from the coop to
him: he placing the tube down the
throat beyond the windpipe towards
the crop, fills the same by pressure
of the foot. always gauging the amount
forced into the crop by the hand
pressure upon it.
This manner of feeding is carried on
for a sufficient number of days to
make the entire period of feeding from
10 to q days. An experienced handler
knows Just the time when the fowls
are finished ready for killing. When
this time arrives, they are speedily
killed, dry-picked, and placed in proper
condition for market.
The food made use of for this pur-
pose Is mixture of meals of several
kinds, to conform to the requirements
of the market. Ground oats, corn
and middlings, mixed with boiled
milk or water into very dry mash
or mixed food Is made use of for the
first IL to ii days for trough feeding.
During this period, the fowls have
grit and plenty of water to drink
where they can help themselves. So
soon as they show a disposition to
stop feeding themselves. all the food,
water and grit is removed from the
trough, and the stufiing machine Is
brought into service. The same meals
mixed into Cruel are used for this

PROFITS IN CHICKENS.
Crate and Machine Fattening Being
the Highest Prices.


Some time since we published an
article on poultry growing North and
West, and referred to the large num-
Der of fowls that are grown upon the
wheat fields Of the Northwest and
which are purchased and shipped in to
the big packing establishments of
Kansas City and other western centres.
The packers Of the west have estab-
lished enormous finishing plants, as
they are called, for the feeding, fat
tening and preparing of poultry of all
kinds for market. Thefowlsh here are re-
ceived in large numbers, placed in
coops that hold from three to five
birds, according to their size, and are
through h-fed"-that is, they are fed a
mixture of ground meals properly pre-
pared in troughs, and permitted to
eat as much as they will consume,
from three to five times per day.
Poultry crate-fattened in this way
will continue to eat well and thrive
from nine to twelve days. So soon as
they cease to feed themselves raven
ously from these trOughs, what is
known as the cramming machine is
brought into service. The manipulation
of the examining machine must have
experience in the handling and feed
ing of the fowls in this way. The

ONE VAST TRUST.

The conditions in Packingtown have
reached their present state of degrad.
alton by the natural process of com.
petition, or rather, there is competi.
tion of labor while there is no competi.
tion of capital. There is but one
vast employing trust and a body of
absolutely unorganized and helpless
types of human beings are coming
there. There has been a regular pro-
cession of the races through Packing
town; the industry was founded by
skilled cattle butchers from Germany;
then they began the importing of Irish
men. After the strike of 1894 they set
to work deliberately to crowd the labor
market so as to prevent further trou-
bles; first they brought Poles, then
Bohemians, then Lithuanians, and now
finally Slovaks. These are nearly all
undersized, wretched people who can
not speak English, and who impress
one as having no more intelligence
than a dumb animal. The bosses beat
them and kick them and spit in their
faces. l saw sights of this sort which
fairly made my blood boil. saw a
poor, wretched Lithuanian pushing a
truck in one of Swift & Co.'s cellars;
1t was loaded with hams, and the poor
fellow was scarcely able to stir it on
the level floor. He came to a slight
incline and could not get it up, and the
boss fell upon him and pounded him
out of the place. l presume that he
was firing him. Another and
stronger man took his place.
COMPELLED TO VISIT SALOONS.
One of the things pointed out in the
Presidents report is that the men are
provided with no places to eat. 1t is
difficult to imagine what this means in
the winter time. saw them crouchine
in the stairways of the packing
houses and outside under the sheds to
get away from the falling snow. In
conversation with one of the packers
l spoke of the horribly low wages that
were paid to the men, and he answered
that there was no use in paying any
more, because the balance went to the

1t is literally the truth that the pack
ers treat their men like dogs. There
is no place in all Packingtown where
the slightest consideration is shown
for a human being. They are COM
PEELED to be on hand at certain hour
in the morning, even though there is
no killing to be done; they are laid of
without the slightest ceremony, and
they have no idea when the work will
start up again. They are cheated out
of their pay most shamelessly; If
enough men happen to be on hand the
bosses will start them up before the
whistles blow, and cheat them that
way. If they are working overtime
and do not make a full hour, even
though they fail by only five minutes.
they get nothing for it. If any error
Is made in the computation of their
work they have no redress; there is
