ERHAPS, as is cited in the

sim no success or failure is ever to-

and thus the result Of all life is

II is a general but very mistaken be-
lief that mere birth necessarily regu-
lates refinement. and those who in
dulge in this theory, &c the exclusion
OF noble ambitions for self-culture,
must Invariably, and perhaps bitterly,
learn the necessity for physical and
moral activity.
Good birth entails numerous respon-

such struggles the greatest motive

The fortune Of birth" is merely a

INSPECTION STOPS BEEF SALE.
Refuse to Let Cattle Go Subject to
Post-Mortem Examination.

Chicago, ILL.,, May 29.--Because Of
the enforcement by the big packers
of their new rule requiring post
mortem inspection OF COWS and heif-
ers as a condition of purchase, only
the high class of "Delmonico" grades
of beef were sold at the stock yards
for the Chicago trade. All the cows
and heifers went TO the slaughter
houses outside Chicago, mainly to
Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Cleveland
and Pittsburg concerns.
Monday was the first day for the
enforcement of the post-mortem rule
and its operation was watched with
keen interest The big packing
firms did not succeed in buying a
solitary COW or heifer, according to
the returns made to the live stock
commission men at the close of bust
ness. None of the three thousand
animals numbered in the list of the
days receipts as Cow stuff" re-
NAMED unsold, however, and on this
showing the commission claimed that
the big firms were routed in the
days skirmish.
When the market opened in the
morning the buyers for Armour &
Co., Nelson Morris & Co., the Nat
ional Packing Company, G.. II. Ham
mond & Co., Schwartzschild & Sulz-
berger and the Western Packing
Company announced that they would
bid for cows and heifers only on con-
dition that acceptance and payment
would follow, not precede, the gov
ernment post-mortem inspection.
They were promptly told by the COM
mission men that their bids would
not be considered on such terms.
Definite lines of procedure had
been mapped out by both sides.
After 1t became definitely known
that the big packers had instructed
their buyers to make absolutely no
purchases of cows or heifers unless
subject to the new rule, the COM
mission men having this class of
cattle for sale ignored these buyers.
Many buyers from Milwaukee and
slaughter houses operated independ-
emily of the Chicago big packers,
and to these the Cow stuff" was
let go at prices that were somewhat
on the bargain day" order-that
is to say, from 10 to 20 per cent be-
low the range of prices at the close
of last weeks marketing.

EARNEST FOR PEACE
Secretary Root Believes Trouble
May BE Settled, But United States
Will Not mterfere.-Forccs Are
At Work To Avert Hostilities-
Guatemalan Consul Talks.

Washington, ID. c., May 2S.-MeX-
leo, according to advices that have
reached the State Department, still
hopes to avoid war with Guatemala,
but she is firmly determined in event
of Guatemala's failure to comply
with her demands to end the pre-
sent situation with contest that
shall be sudden. short and decisive.
Despite Mexico's aggressive atti-
.ude Secretary Root has not given
up hope that peace may be pre-
served. The good offices of the
United States heve been put for
ward as a standing offer to the coun-
sries involved, but this government
,annot, nor is It disposed to, act as
theoretically as it has acted in
strained situations between Central
American countries to which Mex
co was not part.
The United States and Mexico hav-

ously together to insure permanent
peace in Central America. Secretary

EEL that Mexico is as earnest in its
lesire for peace as the United States
an be and may be relied upon to
exhaust all possible peaceful exped-
ents before going to war.
One of the greatest external forces
working to avert war between Mex
co and Guatemala Is the feeling of
very important LATINA re-
public, including Mexico, that war
It this time would be unusually bad
or the reputation of them all.
Secretary Root has been much i'm
,ressed with the feeling of first class
governments like Brazil. Argentina,
Bhin, Peru and Mexico, that they
ire handicapped in the eyes of the
world by frequent revolutions in
md wars between the backward re-
yublics, like those of Central Amer
"a. 1t was this feeling which caused
many Latin-Amerlcan diplomats
sarmly to commend the idea of a
confederation of Central American
tates into a single government
frong enough to repress revolution
hthin and command re pect from
without. Secretary Root finds this
entiment a great deterrent of war
tetween Mexico and Guatemala. The
nistence of the feeling many diplo-
mats believe will prevent Mexico
rom striking unless some more overt
ct is committed by Guatemala which

N. Y. MARKET LETTER


(From our Special Correspondent
New York, May Speculative
trading in the wheat market was
much less active, with the tendency
of prices again lower, owing priHrl.
pally to bad weather all over the
country.
The wheat market, like that In
stocks, is professional to a degree
now, and the buying is not so fasz
and furious as it was. The puhlir
has been in the wheat market to 4
great extent, but having been badly
hurt Is inclined to keep its hands on.
Wall Street is trying to figure ont
the crop situation. and has come to
the conclusion that more wheat has
been killed by the rumor-moDgerS
than by FROST wet weather and the
green bugs. Crop experts, like er-
perts of another sort, are apt 10
shade their views according to the
desires of those who employ them
and for this reason IL is fair to sup
pose that experts working for grain
houses that have been buying WI aAi
have been busily engaged in killing
OF this particular sort in order "a
put the price up. At least this is
the opinion of the people in WaA
Street.
The group of produce spectators
who, several weeks ago, bought up
what they thought was all the avAil-
able supply of old potatoes, with the
object of unloading their holdings
at high prices, received a severe
check About 5000 barrels of po-
tatoes they didn't know existed
were offered for sale at much less
quotations. More are said to be
coming.
About 1000 barrels of potatoes
were unloaded in a day at single
pier, and several 1,000-barrel lots
were received at other piers. The
spectators were surprised; they
thought they had cleaned up the
supply. 1t seems, however, that the
high prices attracted sellers from
distant points, and on this the deal
crs here had not figured.
