No officer in the United States Navy

Arrests to Be Made.
SHOULD OVERSEE KILLING.
Deputy Rowe Suggests Modern slaush-
ter House for Calumet.


John II. Rowe. deputy food ana DAIRY
INSPECTOR. calls attention to the need ol
n slaughter house, properly SUPERVISED
i'm this district. He stated to T''
News this morning that considerable
meat is being sold on the streets oil
Calumet by farmers and that If such
an institution were provided, this meat
would come to the consumer in much
better condition than at present. As IL
is. COWS are killed indiscriminately by
farmers, the meat passes no inspection
and sometimes diseased animals are
selected. While he has no objection 10
the farmers killing their stock ana
selling the meat, he believes that same
steps should be taken to see that IL Is
killed and treated in the proper man
ner.
There Is no state law governing TINS
situation. but each community mas
authority to act for itself and Mr Rowe
thinks his suggestion is worthy OF SER
ions consideration. He believes that
the matter might come wit n the Jur-
isdiction of the Houghton c. lnty Anti
Tuberculosis society and that this or
ranization might take the initiative.
Ry providing a slaughter house. the
authorities might demand that al
farmers who desire to sell meat take
their COWS there, where they might
be inspected by a veterinary surgeon
or some other responsible person ana II
the meat is ut for sale. it might be so
stamped. after which there would be no
further trouble and the consumer
would be protected.

Lean CHRISTMAS
ON WALL STREET
FACT THAT PAST YEAR HAS NOT
BEEN PROFITABLE ONE MAY
KEEP SANTA CLAUS
AT HOME

New York, Dec. 16.--Wall Street en-
ployes. from the six dollar-a- week Of
fee boy to the office managers with
salaries reaching five figures a year,
are not looking forward TO Christmas
this year with their customary joyful
anticipation. II has been a lean year. a
very lean year. for the street." and as
consequence the word has gone out
that it will be a pitifully emaciated
Santa Claus that will go around dis
tributing the Christmas and end-of-
the-year bonuses during the next two
weeks. The year has been a poor one
for the brokers from the very start. al
though recently an Improvement has
been noted.
The clerical forces Of the great stock
exchange houses will be the chief suf-
ferers from the falling off in the bonus
funds. Scarcely any of the large
houses will end the year clear. for they
have experienced a big decrease in
business and at the same time have
been under as heavy expense in main
tanning their private wire system and
branch houses as I'm the fat" years.
The bank employees probably will fare
much better this year than the broker
age forces. though this condition usual
ly is reversed when the stock exchange
firms are prosperous. The men back
of the big banks are all possessed OF
great wealth and they argue that it
would be poor policy to make their
employees suffer for the smaller returns
OF the past twelve months. Several of
the great banking houses make il "a
rule to give their managers and clerks
fifty per cent of their salaries at the
end Of the year, and ten and even
twenty-five per cent distributions are
not uncommon. 1t is not believed how
ever. that any firm will give 100 per
cent bonuses this year. as was done by
several houses I'm 1901.
