i am positive in accusing this man,
said PetrOsini. Il have evidence which
convinces me that he has long furnished
the brains with which the Black Hand has
flOurished.
This man is not as ignorant as many

Murphy ana his men at Albany did al

it went through, the Tammany leaders
sent orders TO the TamEany men at Al
bany to help Gov. Hughes to pass the
bill for recount of the mayoralty vote
of 1893 In this city.
The Bill has been adopted in the assem-
bly,, and the senators who are with Gov.
Hughes would, with the assistance of
the TaInmany members of the senate,
easily have a majority TO pass the bill.
The mayor is opposed 10 a recount, ana
1t was with his authority that Corporation
Counsel Ellison opened negotiations which
are expected to result in killing the re-

AIr Ellison has been quoted as saying
that he had threatened to resign if the

Ellison ConsuIts Sullivan.
Mr. Ellison got into consultation with
Big Tim Sullivan concerning the recount

understood that one of the first condi-
tons made by Big Tim as the price Of his
assistance was the removal of Police
Commissioner Bingham.
It was said to-day that Mr.. Ellison told
the big fellow that such condition could
never be agreed to by the mayor, and
that agreement to it would bring him
into public condemnation,
The mayor was asked if his compact
with Murphy would make any difference
in the police situation.

said.

FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW.

The next time your husband or brother
complains OF the meat provided on the
home table-the best the butcher carries
for home trade-and wonders why. at the
price demanded by the butcher, he can
hot give the rich, tender steaks. and
roasts found at hotels and hlgh-grade res
| taurants. tell him what the butcher says
regarding the matter. At least, my
butcher. man brought up TO succeed TO
his fathers business and fits good paying
patronage, gives me q sensible reason for
the difference.
If I should sell you a steak or roast
from which you had TO scrape the green
mold before the cooking process. you
would send Il back and demand your ac-
count up 10 date. But that is the kind
Of meat you get al hotels, the kind you
praise. You do not see it before It

When he was learning the business the
masculine heads of families did the mar

selected. marked, hung up in the shop
and left 20 ripen. There was no coils
storage in those days. and the ripening
process was slow and natural. The meat
was inspected at intervals by the pur-
chasers and its position changed to in
sure an even distribution Of the juices.
Meat was not bought by the days sup
ply as is the modern habit. The inces-
SAINT demand for small pieces has elimi-
mated the ripening process save in places
where wholesale orders are given. and
our elders complain that beef is neither
so juicy nor sweet as Il used 10 be. They
DO not inquire the cause but imagine
that animal flesh has deteriorated as civil
lizatiOn has advanced.
The meat business has suffered from the
effects Of haste ike other branches. Slow
