Johnson Wires Friend to Bet No More
On Fight at Present.

Chicago. May 3.-Jack johnson Wir-
ed a close friend here from San Fran
cisco last night telling him not to bet
any money on the big fight until he
was advised further. The telegram
also stated that the death of Tommy
Mccarthy had given the church people,
who are opposed to the independence
day contest, ammunition for their
struggle against the big fight.
Many bets already have been made
on Johnson, the colored people getting
as good as 10 to 6 for their money.

In case of doubt the lungs are sub

marked that the most reliable Of all
meats was kosher meat he was
asked. What is kosher meat?"
The admiral explained: The first
condition or kosher meat is that it
must come from an animal killed by
the shochet. The shochet is an expert
meat Inspector under the laws of the
Talmud, and can only practice his art
when he is accredited by a learned
rabbi as being versed in the law and
learned in his handicraft IN one of the
Talmudian schools to be found in small
numbers in the east Ct Germany and in
Poland
Every one of the nine kosher butch
ers in Chicago employs his own sho-
chet, who occupies, as q rule. a position
Of Importance in the congregation to
which he belongs. although he has no

on any other business than that of a

chickens, geese turkeys, ducks and
pigeons are killed by the shochet by
simple decapitation with his keen edged
knife, but in all cases the greatest
care is taken to cut down the animal
IN the moment of complete rest and
ol1ssful ignorance of the coming fate,
so as to make It's death as sudden and
speedy as possible. The greatest care
is also used in freeing the meat of all
kiiied ANIMALS of every particle of

The butcher has to buy all of his

because he had not made a separate

as soon as he got into the house to

she had got him nearly crazed she
would try to pacify him by being kit

to make him go out with her some
