scented in this city Friday evening
with Edyth Chapman and James Neill

~HORSEFLESH AS FOOt

II Is Cheap md IL Rapidly Growing
In Favor In Europe.
In Belgium. as in other European
countries, the sale of horsef1esh Is be-
coming a recognized branch of the
butchering business. according to Con.
sui McNally of Liege Scattered
through Liege are many shops selling
horse meat exclusively. a horse head at
tached to the front of the shop or a
sign indicating the business within.
While it is not forbidden for a meat
market to handle both beef and horse
meat. it is quite unusual to do so, deal
ers carrying their separate lines. When
the meat is dressed and exposed for
sale the only noticeable difference is
in the color, which is of a deeper red
and has a coarser fiber than the beef.
Those accustomed to eating horseflesh
are loud in its praise and declare it to
be as palatable as beef and that many
persons eat horseflesh under the i'm
preston that they are eating beef.
There is no doubt that horsefiesh is
growing in favor. 1t sells for about
half the price of beef or mutton.
The dealers in horse meat are most
active in proclaiming the prime quality
of their article. and a campaign Of per-
suasion is now on. They contend that
the horse in ancient times was held in
high esteem; that the eating of horse
flesh was common before the eighth
century and that in China the horse has
been eaten for 600 years. The first
European people openly practicing hip
pophagy were those of Denmark in
1907, when Napoleon invaded that
country. The Germans also attribute
that practice in their country to the
same person during the wars of 1915.
at which time the food supply was very
low. The first hippophagic slaughter
house was created in Prussia in 1S47.
also year of great famine.
In Belgium the eating of horsefesh
dates back to 1870. from which time
it has been increasing steadily. In
Liege many colts are slaughtered for
sale as well as young horses. The ami
NAL undergoes the same rigid inspec-
ton given to beef. mutton or pork. The
number Of horses and colts slaughter
ed for Liege in 1904 was 1.2S7. and it
is estimated at 1000 head for 1905.
The choice cuts of horse meat sell for
about 20 cents pound, while the beef
commands about 80 cents.

Postal Clerks and Carriers
Want Congress to Give
Them Raise in Salary.
POSTMASTERS WITH THEM
OLDER AND STRICTLY FIRST
CLASS MEN ARE LEAVING THE
SERVICE ON ACCOUNT OF PAY.

Richmond mail men are greatly in
terested in the present didos being cut
in the national house of representa-
tives and particularly SO in the appro-
priation, which will probably be made
for the increase in the salaries of pos
tai clerks and carriers. The raise in
the salaries will involve millions of
dollars expense each year to the gov
eminent, but Uncle Sans mail SER
vice is bordering upon famine of
strictly first-class men as all the old
er men are leaving the service, owing
to the small financial reimbursement
for their labors. The postal clerks
and carriers Of the country are max
ing strenuous effort to get an in
crease in salary and are backed in
their efforts by the postmasters
Postmaster Spekenhier said yester-
day that at the last convention of the
first class pOstmasters, held in st.
Louis, resolutions favoring an increase
in the salaries of the clerks and car
riers was drawn up and copy for
warded to the national house of rep
resentatives. The postmasters are
of the opinion that the increase in sal

cient men in the service and higher
grade of new men will then be induced
to enter, where at the present time
many men who would otherwise take
up postal work, drift into other fields
OF employment.
The salaries of postal clerks in post
offices range between 5000 and 81 900,
which is considered very low for the
amount of responsibility and work
which falls upon them. The railway
mail clerks, who are also fighting for
an increase in their salaries, are earn
ing between $500 and $500. The
mail carriers receive but $40 per
year, although they are required to
wear the best of clothes the year
round, and are put to other numerous
expenses.
Whether the national law makers
grant the appropriation to the post
office department depends largely up
on the pressure brought to bear upon
them, and the clerks, carriers and
postmasters are doing everything with
in their power to influence public opin-
ion to such an extent that those per-
sons sending statesmen to Washing
ton, will bring direct pressure upon
their congressman for the increase.

SHORT FORCE; QUIET DAY
For Variety Of Reasons the Police De-
partment Yesterday Was Very
Short Handed.

The police department got through
rather quiet day yesterday with a
limited force. Superintendent Bailey
was on the sick list, Officer Live,s-
berger, the regular patrol wagon driv-
er was still unable to be on duty, while
Patrolman Vogelsong, who is tempo
rarily filling his position, was attend
ing the funeral of his grandfather,
John Elstro. Although there was
nothing doing on the streets that es-
pecially required police attention, Ser
geant Dan McManus had his hands
full at headquarters, looking after the
medical needs of two prisoners, one
of whom was suffering with tremens,
and the other on the verge of having
them.

rdptcy in the federal court today. Mr..
Taylor's difficulty followed a series of
ngagements he arranged for Mr..
lilies a month ago, which included
Richmond, Terre Haute, Muncie, An
lerson, Indianapolis and other Indiana
lilies, and which was seriously inter-
ferred with by rains and counter at
FACTIONS
When the. engagement was first
made between the musicians, after
sIr Miles had scored several success
5es in Indianapolis, an ironclad pro.
vision was made that the barytone
was to be paid for each night he sang
in spite of any interference. Relying
on the barytone's reputation as
drawing card, Mr.. Taylor advertised
heavily, and in the course Of his prep
arations contracted something over
81 900 in debts. Mr.. Miles was to
sing ten nights in cities where it was
expected that the seat sales would be
heavy, and his manager entered into
the agreement with no fear of finan-
cial embarrassment.
Followed by Bad Weather.

from city to city. Curse or
the concerts eight nlngs were
spoiled by the rain and the ether two
were Effected by counter attractions.
The seat sales hardly paid Mr.. Miles
salary. There was not even enough
money remaining to pay hall rent or
transportation, but Mr.. Taylor manag-
ed to bridge over on personal loans,
hoping that the. deficiency would be
made up by later concerts. The SER
les closed as unfortunately as it be-
gan and the vocal instructor was left
with the bag to hold.
Mr.. Taylor gives his liabilities as
81, 28O64. His assets amount to 1854,
a large part of which is exempt from
the Claim of creditors.
More Than Sixty Creditors.
The creditors number more than
sixty persons, among them being sew
eral prominent Indianapolis business
men and music patrons who advanced
personal loans to Mr.. Taylor. In the
list of debts are items for auditorium
rent in Indianapolis, Greencastle and
Muncie, printing, costumes, transpor-
tation, advertising and many personal
loans. The assets include practically
nothing tangible.
When Mr.. Taylor was asked about
the petition he said that he was vic
tim of the weather and other circum-
stances and that he was helpless. He
declared that there could have been
no more unfortunate series of circum-
stances than that which followed him
and his tenor through Indiana piling
mp debts.

The general assembly, senate and
house, today adopted joint resolu-
ton, authorizing the governor to use
what part of the emergency fund he
may see fit, for the aid of Ohio river

authorizing a state investigation of
the causes that led up to the disas-

Senator Goodwine introduced bill
today which, should it become a law,
would stop the practice of placing wo-
men in the county jails for smisde-
meanors. The bill provides for the
establishment of a house, sOf 9CorEec-
ton for women, to be located in In
dianapolis in nection with the wo-
mems prison. If Richmond woman
were arrested and convicted of drunk
enness, or petit larceny and sentenced

completed it all but three sections,
which will be considered tomorrow.
The committee will report favorablv

members of the committee bolted ac-

pose of going before the people prior

that the republican legislature did
nothing in the line of reform. The

for passage. The pure food bill is
drawn on lines to correspond to the
