are interested in animal nature, birds.
etc, have food for deep study in the
hennery of Thomas J. O'Neil, IS New

sessing four legs has just been born.
The quadruped is of common breed

yard daily.
When Mr.. O'Neill went to look over
the last batch of chickens. which were
Matched out in his coop. he was aston
ished to observe that n of the
Chicks had four les instead of two.
At first O'Neil thought his vision was

he found that he had a singular bird.
1t Is a notable feature about 1t that
the animal with the quartet of legs is
getting fatter and growing more rapidly
than the rest of the chickens.

CLOSING OF BIG PLANT
FOLLOWS STRIKE OF HANDS
Part of Roebling Mills to Be
Moved from Trenton.

TRENTON, April 11,-Claiming that
it cannot accede to the demands Of the
striking laborers at the present time
because of the conditions of trade, the
John A. Roebling's Sons Company an
nounces that the big plant would be
closed for an indefinite period. 1t was
also announced thai part Of the mill
would be removed from here to the
plant at Roebling.
I'VE will not open the plant today,
but will keep it closed for an indefinite
period. Business is dull and it. will not
pay US to open under present condi-
items"
When asked IL the plant at Roebling
would be affected in any way by the
strike here Mr.. Roebling continued:
I'VE are going to keep that plant
running as usual. We are making plans
for the building of several hundred
more houses at that place. After this
is one W. will remove a part of our
plant there. where we can have the
work turned out cheaper.
"Our employees at that place have nc
cause to be dissatisfied. They will have
comfortable homes and can live cheaper
there than they do here. They buy
their goods from the company's stores,
where the prices are moderate.
1--WE feel sorry for the poorer classes
employed by Is. but we are not to
blame for the high cost of living here,
We know that rents have gone up and
that prices of food are higher, but we
are not responsible for it.
politics and the talk on the revision
| of the tariff have hurt the manufactur-
ing business. Manufacturers will not
place orders or spend any money.
We would have been satisfied some
time ago, If rs per cent. of our employ
ees had quit, and this would have given
others plenty of work. AS a matter OF
fact, we have not enough work to keep
the plant running at the present time
All of our storehouses are well stocked
at the present time"
The removal of part of the local plant
would mean a great loss to this city in
many ways. 1t is estimated that the
company has a payroll of about $500 0
weekly.
