EARNINGS OF ARMOUR & co.
Profit of 20 Per Cent on Capital Stock

Profit of 20 Per Cent on Capital Stock
of $20,O00,000.
Chicago, Dec. 23.-Armour & Co
have issued the annual statement for
the fiscal year ended Oct. %, 1910,
showing net profits of $9,808,305,
against $10,582,9O5 in 1909 and SILL
608,474 in 1908 The balance applicable
to dividends was $5,817,721, equal to
29.08 per cent on the $20,000,000 CAPT.
tai stock. During the year the shares
received their first disbursement,
amounting to 10 per cent, all profits in
previous years having been put back
into property.
Gross business in the 1910 fiscal
year was 50,0OO,0O0, or slightly over
the gross of 1909. Higher costs and
closer profits, however, cut down net
somewhat, the decreases from the pre-.
vious year being 7.6 per cent. Of the
decrease $4,000 was from manufac.
ture and sales and the larger part
from allied companies income. The
1909 annual showed a years surplus
equivalent to 1854 per cent on the
$20,000,000 stock.

A Great Cannibai Feast.

Probably the biggest cannibal orgy
on record is one of which Miss Bea-
trice Grimshaw tells in ''The New
Guinea:' "In 1858 shipload of China
men was being taken down to Austria
liza. The vessel was wrecked upon a
reef close to Rossel island, New GUM
ca. The officers escaped in boats, but
were never afterward heard Of AS
for the Cinnamon, numbering 326, the
natives captured them and put them
on a small barren island, where they
had no food and no means of getting
away. They kept their prisoners sup
piled with food from the mainland
and every now and then carried away
a few of them to eat until all but one
old man had been devoured. This one
succeeded eventually in getting away
and told something Of the story, which
seems to have met with general disbe-
lief. True it is, however, on the evil
dence Of the sons of those who did the
deed"

Imprisonment For Debt.

About the middle Of the last cen
fury the power of'imprisoning debt
or for life was taken from the creditor
and it fills one with amazement to
think that a system so ridiculous
should have continued as long as it
did. The three principal debtors pris-
ons in England were the Kings Bench,
the NIarshalsea and the Borough
Compiler. In the year 1850 there were
10000 prisoners for debt in Great Brit.
ain and Ireland The futility Of the
system was quite as great as it's bar:
barity. More than half the prisoners
in some Of the prisons were kept there
solely because they could not pay the
attorneys costs. Many prisoners had
their wives and children with them
There was no infrmary, no resident

What is the farthest limit to which

Philadelphia, Dec. 23-Fourteen
known dead, twelve firemen and two
policemen, and more than fifty injured,
of whom twenty-five are still in hos.
pitfalls, is the record of the fire at the
leather factory of Daniel Friedlander
in this city. These figures were given
out by the police and the city officials
believe they have accounted for all
the men who were at work at the fire
when the several walls of the five
story building fell in on them.
OF the injured several are in a
critical condition and may die.
What is believed to be the last body
in the ruins was taken from the ice
coated mass of debris sixteen hours
after the fire started.
Two tiremen were taken out of the
ruins alive after having been pinned
under the great mass of twisted iron
and broken bricks for twelve hours,
but one of them, Thomas Pass, died
on the way to hospital.

was exasperatingly slow to the police.

in the wintry weather.
How the Disaster Occurred.
The Friedlander factory was five
story building on the west side of
Bodine street and ran west, the rear
extending to the east side of Third
street. The building had been com
pletely burned out and the fire con-
fined to within the four walls when the
disaster occurred.
Chief Baxter was standing on the
roof of a two-story house and was di-
recting the men for the final fight to
subdue the flames. Water tower truck
No. 7 had a ladder against the front
wall on Bodine street, playing great
stream of water into the flames. Just
inside the building at Bodine street a
group of firemen were throwing water
on the burning ruins. Suddenly the
Bodine street wall fell inward, burying
all the men who were within the build.
ing and carrying down the big ladder
of truck No. 7, on which there were
half a dozen men.
Four of the fremen who were on
this ladder are among the dead.
The cries of the iremen caught be-
meath the ruins spurred their brother
firemen to instant action, without the
thought of danger to themselves. No
sooner had they climbed over the
smoking ruins than part of the north
wall came down. This caught not only
the 6remen, but also number of po-
licemen who had plunged into the
thick of the rescue work.
