HAS KILLED 100000 HOGS
The Record of an Employe i'm st.
Paul Packing House.


AS the climax of an extraordinary
heavy run of hogs which has been
pouring into the big St. Paul, Mimi,
market for nearly a mouth the big
Swift plant has broken all records
by establishing a new high level of
~6l166 hogs killed, dressed and sent
to the cooling rooms in ten hours,
and a new record of $1,000 hogs
killed and dressed in single week.
Throughout the record day Adolf
Zinert, a slender, pale-faced German,
stood on his platform just in front
of the huge death wheel that picks
up the swine and sends them to their
death, killing slightly more than ten
of the animals each minute.
Zinert, who has followed his grue-
some occupation for ten years, is just
completing a personal record Of o.
0OO,O hogs dead under the stroke
of his thin, keen knife. He is man
of mild and agreeable manner, of
considerable education, and during
his leisure hours devotes himself with
rare enthusiasm to the skillful care
of an exceedingly productive fifteen
acre farm near the plant.

SAYS SUICIDE is NOT A SIN
ADDRESS OF AN EMINENT MIN
IsTER Is CAUSING TALK.
Saws the Treatment by Law of These
CnfOrtunates Is Wrong. What
Is the Church Doing?

Unfortunates Is Wrong. What
Is the Church Doing?
Some years ago the late Col. Rob
ert G. Ingersoll precipitated a con-
troversy that swept over the coun-
try by propounding the query, rs
Suicide a SIM" and answering it in
the negative with elaborate and elo-
ouent arguments. Since Col. Inger-
soils death, by natural process, the
contention has simmered down and
practically disappeared. 1t may be
that an address delivered a few days
ago by Dr. Charles p. Fagnani of I'm
ion Theological Seminary will set the
cauldron a-bubbling again. Union is
the seminary with which Rev. Dr.
Briggs was formerly associated. 1t
adheres to the doctrine of predestina-
ton, though is notably liberal in the
latitude permitted its professors. Dr..
Fagnani is the author of number
of lectures and articles on theological
subjects, and is recognized as a man
of deep thought and perfect sincerity
of purpose.
In a recent address before the
Young Mems Christian Association in
New York he made the point that in
cases of attempted suicide the state
assumes everything and gives moth
ing. The respondent man who at
tempts to but fails to kill himself
is never helped by the state, but is
punished as a criminal. He is locked
up in Jail for while, and then
turned back into his old environment.
The state reaches no helping hand to
raise him from his condition of de-
spair, but rather gives him kick.
Laws for furnishing would-be sui
cides," says DR.. Fagnani, 'sprang
from the idea that they were trying
to cheat their master or the state of
their labor 1t was slave philoso-
ply, based on the belief that man
did not own his own body. Unless
the state is ready to assist a man to
better his condition it should keep
it's hands off when he tries to end
his misery, is the position of DR..
Fagnani The almshOuses that are
offered are an insult to mans pride
and rather an incentive of self-de-
struction than otherwise.
In consideration of this subject the
pertinent query arises, what are the
churches doing towards the discour-
agement of suicide? They Offer
abundant good advice, of course, but
have they taken any considerable for
ward step towards offering material
encouragement to the suicidal incli'
nation? DR.. Fagnani has been un
able to find that they have done any
such thing He gives credit to the
Salvation Army for it's "anti-suicid'
bureau" That institution does no
stop with preaching; it practices. l
