PIucked by Machinery.

Chickens are now plucked in a
wholesale manner by the use OF pneu-
matte machinery. There is a recep-
tacle in which the fowl is placed after
being killed, and into this are turned
several cross currents of air from
electrical fans revolving at the rate OF
5000 turns per minute In the twink
ling of an eye the bird is stripped OF
its feathers, even to the tiniest par
ticles of down, and the machine is
ready for another.

NEWS AND GOSSIP OF LIGHTER
SORT PICKED UP ABOUT NEW YORK

Special Correspondence of The Herald.
NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-What con-
vulsion of nature has done for por-
ton of San Francisco man proposes to
do for a section of New York. A sue
cession of jars, followed by crashing
timbers and falling of walls, panic
stricken inhabitants fleeing for their
lives, a few more shudders of the
earths crust and that portion of San
Francisco known as Chinatown be-
came a deep hole in the ground. 1t
will be different with the Chinatown of
New York. The slant-eyed Inhabitants
of the picturesque colony will be given
ample time to remove their effects.
! The comparativ feeble strength of
man will reduce the buildings stone by
stone and tim Der by timber. Instead of
| a huge hole in the ground a fiat surface
will remain, which, in due course OF
time, will be converted into play
ground for the poor children of the
Eastside. There will be paths and
trees, a fountain perhaps, swings, and
the so-called plague spot" of the city
will be only memory. That it Will
arise Phoenix-like in some other sec
tion is not considered in the general
scheme of the demolition. The present
Chinatown is condemned as a menace
to the morals and welfare Of the popu-
lace and is sentenced to destruction.
1t is proposed to take an acre and a
quarter, including the south side of
Pell street, from the Bowery to within
100 feet of Mott street and from that
point practically parallel with Mott
street to Chatham Square. This will
wipe out Doyers street, in which is To-
Gated the famous Chinese Delmonico's,
the "Waldorf-Astoria," the joss house
and the Chinese theater, where 400-act
plays are produced. The improvement
will also wipe out some of the most
notorious dens and dives which have so
materially aided in making New York S
criminal history. The plan is approved
by board and all that remains to ef-
feet the Arabian Nights transforma- l.
tion of a modern hades to an equally
modern paradise is the appropriation OF

Mrs. G. A. Rathbone. a pretty brunette,
who said her home is in Chicago,
created a riot i'm the Reading terminal
here today, delayed the starting of
several trains. and successfully de-
fed police and station officials until a
big negro porter by force of arms con-
quered her.
Mrs. Rathbone appeared in the ter
minaI early this morning and. taking a
rocking chair from the women's wait

way of the general waiting room and
refused to move. Soon on both sides
of the barricade was mob, but Mrs.
Rathbon produced some knitting from
a reticule and paid no attention.

nearly a million dollars. And from
Chinatown comes a protest, not loud
but deep, against the despoiling of
homes which have been many years in
building up. The better class of Chinese
merchants claim their people are not
to blame for the evil reputation which
hangs over the section like a pail. The
lawbreakers, they contend, are Ameri-
cans who have forced their way into
the quarter and for whose crimes the
Chinese are blamed. Left to them
selves the Chinese would be a law abid-
ing people. The lawless hoodlum ele-
ment which practically dominates the
quarter, they claim, is really RESPONSE
BILE for the unsavory reputation The
beginning of Chinatown would be hard
to trace. Perhaps the legend of some
joss house contains the name of the
Celestial pioneer. At any rate, when
the tide of immigra tion set in from the
Flowery Kingdom. before the exclusion
act was passed, it's current naturally
swerved toward Chatham Square,
where the worst elements of the city
dwell. For a time pig-tailed strangers
had hard road to travel. When not
engaged in making trouble among
themselves the American hoodlums
turned their attention to the Chinese,
and many a tale of blood and strife
