Nowhere was this protest more en-
phatic than i'm Germany. A few days
ago a document was read before the
house committee on agriculture that
indicates the existence of practices
in Germany that would never De
tolerated in this country. 1t appears
that horses and dogs are common ar
ticles of consumption as human food
and that the laws of Germany recog-
nize them as such.
This document was a report of
Consul General Hugh Pitcairn, of
Hamburg, summarizing a report of
the German department or health, re-
Gently published with regard to the
results of the cattle and meat inspec-
tion in the German empire during
the year 1904. from which the follow
ing extract read to the committee,
was of more than ordinary interest:
at is worth while mentioning that
during the year under report the
number of cattle slaughtered was eX-
ceptionally high, owing to the scar
city of feed-stuffs. There were sub
mitted to inspection 3,32S,903 head of
beeves over three months old; 4,2S7,-
491 calves less than three months
old: 15,O66.116 hogs; 2,26S,739 sheep;
42S,762 goats; 122,76s horses, ETC.,
and 4,7S7 dogs"
1t is needless to add that whatever
may have been the carelessness. of
American packers with regard to
sanitary surroundings, horses and
dogs, in this country, are unknown as
an article of food.

Notes
RACING.

Dion Kerr, the gentleman rider,
has promising four year old by
Chorister, which he has named Choir
list. He is perfect jumper and Mr..
Kerr has planned to take him to
Canada after the Bennings meetings.
If he makes good on the Canadian
circuit he will race him at Bennings
again in the fall.
When Light Nate started in a race
at New Orleans recently he was back
ed all over the country and his vic
tory would have been a costly one
to layers. He ran well for seven
furlongs and then was beaten. In a
race next day he was neglected in the
betting and at 40 to l defeated good
field.
Charles +. Sanders, an eastern
horseman, who went to California
about twelve years ago, died recently.
He at one time in the east trained
for the late Adolph Nelson, the first
caterer at Morris park. Among the
horses handled by Sanders for Mel
son was the Potentate.
Kercheval c. Koerner is under an
engagement to ride for Harry Payne

Charles Marvin, aged sixty-eight
years, one of the most famous driv-
ers and trainers of race horses in
America, died recently in a Kentucky
hospital. During his career he own
ed many horses of national reputa-
tion and probably won more victories
with harness horses than any other
American trainer.

crowd, and a battery of sharp, crude,
brutal epithets and witticisms were
turned loose upon him as he swan
to the shore, and was pulled out by
his devoted adherents. Some of the
baser sort wanted to give Smith a
coat of tar and feathers. but the
discredited miracle worker was
whisked away out of danger by some
of his supporters, and the advice of
the cooler-headed among the crowd
prevailed.
Investigation showed that Smith,
according to the allegations, had
built a submerged pier out into the
river on piles, the tops of which came
within about foot of the surface Of
the muddy water. on the piles
boards had been placed, by means
of which walking on the water was
reduced to a fine and practical art.
1t happened that while Smith was
practicing this miracle in order to
perform it without any chance of
mishap, some boys, who had sought
the secluded spot for n swim, sur
prised him at work. They watched
him from hiding, and when he left
they investigated. Keeping the secret
of their discovery to themselves,
they waited until the day when he
announced that he would repeat the
miracle, and then removed one of
the boards from the submerged pier
at a point where the water was about
ten feet deep. The prophets in
voluntary bath was the dramatic re-
suit.
The same old history gives an
other story of Smiths undoing. He
had declared from his pulpit that his
person was divine, and that no one
could with safety law hands upon
him to iniure or hurt him. Soon
after this rash assertion Smith was
passing the house where lived Nathan
Arlington, a young man of a strict
inductive method He sprang at the
phophet knocked him down, and
gave him a bird of a walloping, while
Smith yelled for mercy, and was final
ly released much the worse for wear,
Nathan said he simply wanted to
show that Smith was a liar.
Smith had quite a vogue in the
vicinity of Alton as a caster-out of
devils. Upon his trial upon the
charge of being an imposter, several
witnessed testified that they had seen
Smith turn the trick. One said he
saw devil about the size of a wood
chuck leave one of the prophets pa
uents, and run away. Another wit
ness said that a devil he had seen
Smith exercise from one man looked
like a yellow dog when 1t left it's
victim.
But, Of course, this testimony of
the prophets failures and shortcom-
ings is from his home section, where
no man can be either hero or sage.
Driven from his own state, he sue
ceeded in laying the foundation for
a great church that has been power
full enough at times to defy even the
government of the United States.
"Peepstone joe" of Alton. became
the Mormon messiah of the Utah
