MEAT QUOTATIONS MAY AGAIN SOAR

SKYWARD SOON! Butchers Consider Alleged Necessity of Again Raising . The Price of Choice Meats For Unique Reason. BLAME FOR THIS IS PLACED ON CUSTOMERS. Patrons Desire Nothing But The Higher Class Meats and the Cheaper and Inferior Grades Loss to Butchers. Consumers of meat need not bo at all surprised if, at some time in the near future, they are caller! on by their butchers lo pay a still further advance in the prices of their steaks and roasts. The protest, which is sure to be aroused, is likely to be met with the statement that the consumers are themselves to lilame for the increased cost, from the fact that they are satisfied with but the best cuts, and the dealer must charse a sufficient, amount for these that he may put a price on the less desirable portions; to make them move. A prominent meat dealer, in discussing the situation, said: "In my trade ihcre is practically no demand for the cheaper cuts of boiling meat, and the demand of nearly 80 per cent of ray wade is for cuts which can be obtained from but about "O per cent of the carcass. This compels us to dispose of the remaining 70 per cent at a price which leaves us no profit and, in some case?, we arc glad t.o dispose of a great deal of meat considerably below that paid to the packing house." The prices current in the local marbet are about as follows: No. 1 shank, 8 cents a iound; No. 2, round. 15 - cents; No. C. rump, S to 10 cents; No. 4, loin, 20 to 25 cents; No. 5, rib. 12V, to 15 cents; No. C. flank, 5 cents; No. 7, plate, 5 cents: No. S, chuck, 5 to 10 .cents; No. it, clod (fat). " cents; No. TO, neck, S cents. The fore-quarters of the br;ef. in relation to the whole, Are as follows: Flank..:? 1-:? per cent; nhoulder, t! 2-P-; plate, t:? 1-3: neck, 5 -?,; chuck, 1 1-:? and rib 10. The hindquarters are sized thus: Flank, I ...... . .... .1, ...i.; .. t i . ..!. ,i i o mil, itiiiivt iv in, i , r-ii loin, 7-2-;!; round, with shank on, IS; rump, 5 1-;?; suet, 4 !:!. The loss to ihe carcass in cutting for retail is declared in some cases to run sixteen pounds to the hundred weight. Forced to Raise Price. It is a fact, which the- dealer will make no attempt to deny, that, he is forced, by lack of a demand for ihe cheaper cuts, to add to the prices of Ms best, meat what be must lose on ihe balance of Ihe carcass, which leads iuevitaldy to the fact, that the opulent consumer of loin must help bis less fortunate brother to pay for bis round and chuck. Titat the consumer of these desirable portions of the butcher's stock is not.lo bo, deterred in the gratification of his tastes by a mere advance in price is evidenced by the fact cited by ihe dealer that he sold almost four times as much pork two months ago when the prices were IS and 20 cents as he does today when he sells the Fame grade at from 10 to 12 cents, lie accounts for this fact on the supposition that his customers' tastes have changed from pork to beef and they do not consider the price when they know what they want. Six Cents a Pound Alive. A 1.100-iKHind steer of j;ood grade costs about fS5 on the hoof, which makes an average of slightly over 6 cents per pound for the live beef and 1h,e man who pays 25 cents per pound for his choice loin would have just grounds for the feeling that he had been held up by the much maligned lleef Trust, but, unfortunately for his butcher, he does not include in his hasty calculations the fact that all beef is not loin a condition of affairs that makes a very vital difference in the profit and loss account of the dealer who must allow no inconsiderable amount of his stock to leave his market at 3 cents a pound in the form of fat. Some parts of the steer for which he paid a trifle over 6 cents a pound are thrown away and to this loss must be added that occasioned by the reduction in the price of bides, which amounts to about. 55.

It has an interesting plot and holds the audience through the four acts. It is given by a company specially engaged for such a production, and with new and beautiful scenery.

FREE AIR SCHOOL AGAINST WHITE PLAGUE Novel Educational Institution Is Established. Providence, K. I.. Jan. 27. A "fresh air school," unkjue among educational institutions in this country, will be opened here today. The school will be conducted indoors in that it is to be held inside a building, but great swinging windows on three sides of each room. Extending the length and width of each, and an extensive system of ventilation, will afford an atmosphere of cold, pure air. making the room easily adaptable to the conditions necessary to comfortable any hygienic study by each student. The idea of establishing the school was first suggested by the Rhode Island League for the Suppression of Tuberculosis, which had heard of the satisfactory results attained by many schools of the kind in European countries. The school is a part of the city's regular school system. The system in operation in the German schools, which is almost universal throughout Europe, has been adopted for the Providence school with but few variations.

Aspirants for Presidency Were There and Roosevelt Got to View Men Factors in Presidential Equation. Washington, Jan. 27. The fun and revelry at the twentv -third annual dinner of the Gridiron club Saturday night reached a climax when "Miss De mocracy" appeared at the door of thel banquet hall in the Willard Hotel iu search of a certain Democrat. Despite her sex she insisted upon being admitted. Shesaid she wanted to s-e a man a certain party. When asked who her friend was she coyly replied that his name was Mr. Johnson of Minnesota. She was told that he was not present. The maid's eyes drooped sadly and she turned away. A friendly banqueter asked modestly it any other nice Democrat would do Mr. Bryan for instance. Her eyes seemed to flash ;;s she replied emphatically in the nega tive. Urged to explain ncr intimerence to one of the most famous gttests of the evening, she said: It was a "grand political rally and in 1!MX. and he jilted me both times. Now I want Mr. Johnson." Then the visitor turned away from the revelers, who had forgotten all the dignity they ever possessed and were laughing uproariously. "This is leap year, you know, was the parting thrust as she continued her search for Mr. Johnson. This bit of foolishness was but one of a series of funmaking "stunts" of the Gridiron club. One Grand Political Rally. It was a "grand politically rally and barbecue in the hall of the Willard House." This was the official description of the dinner tonight.

At that time 1 was working, and in the course of a hard day's work had quite a bit of heavy lifting which brought on severe backache and dizzy headaches. I had tried several remedies, but with no effect. Finally I was induced to get a box of Doan's Kidney Pills at A. G. Luken & Co's drug store. After I had taken them for a short time the dull aching in back disappeared and with it the headaches.

DANGEROUS ANIMALS CAN NOT BE HAULED

! Pennsylvania Railroad Makes j A New Ruling. Important changes have been made by the Pennsylvania railroad in the rules of handling the contents of freight and baggage cars and a number of article that heretofore have linn haadled as baggage will be run as freight. The new rule prohibits the handling on regular baggage cars of dangerous animals or animals j weighing more than 250 pounds. The i order states that circus paraphernalia, j heavy stage effects and other article I of tiat class must be handled as j freight. The Pennsylvania goes still further and provides that a record be kept of all new material furnished carrying foreign cars on that road. in MANY CHANGES IN NEW FINANCE BILL Principle Underlying the Original Aidrich Bill Untouched. SUGGESTIONS ARE ADDED. BAILEY'S IDEA SAYS THAT CITIES HAVING LESS POPULATION THAN 20,000 CANNOT ISSUE BONDS. Washington, Jan. 27 When the Senate committee on finance meets today Chairman Aidrich will be prepared to exhibit the perfected text of his currency bill. During the recess of the committee Mr. Aidrich has been engaged with Senators Hale and Allison and other prominent republican members of the committee In putting the finishing touches upon the measure, anil they held their final meeting today. The new bill will in no wise be a departure from the principle underlying the original measure, but it will embody many changes, duo primarily to suggestions made in the committee and secondarily to suggestions from outsiders. Among the more important of the changes will be one accepting Senator Bailey's proposition for the distribution of the proposed surplus bank issue among the various states in pro portion to their bank capital and stir-1 plus. This feature has been strenuouslv contended for by the Texas sen ator and the republicans have decided to concede it, not only because they consider it equitable, but also because they think it will assist materially in bringing democratic support to the measure w aen it. reaches the senate. Bailey Busy on Substitute. Senator Bailey has been engaged in preparing a substitute bill in which this feature is given a prominent p'ace and it is not yet determined whether he will desist when the action of the majority membership becomes known. It. is probable, however, that he will go forward with his own bill for the present and until the retention of the proposition Is assured. Other changes which it is hoped will have a mollifying effect upon opponents both in the d3mocratic party in the senate and among western republicans, is one increasing the amount of extra circulation allowed by the bill from $250,000,000, provided by tlie first draft of the bill, to $500,000,000. and another making radical changes iu the provision in regard to municipal bonds, which the bill provides shall be accepted as security for the surplus issue. As the bill stands it requires that cities whose bonds may be accepted shall be fifteen years old, have not few;er than 20,000 in population and shall not for ten years have defaulted on any bonded indebtedness. In the new print all of these restrictions and definitions will be eliminated and thu authorities thus will be permitted to pass upon all municipal bonds unou their merits at th time presented. The committee also will concede the contention that additional issues will be permitted to the extent of 90 per cent of the market value of the bonds deposited instead of 73 per cent as the first bill called for. This latter s j change was suggested by the terms lot the original national bank law. i . FOUNTAIN PENS. The largest and best stock In the city. 25c to $3.00.

GOVERNOR HUGHES WEIGHED FOUND WANTING. By Alfred Henry Lewis In the February issue of "Human Life." "A Magazine About People, Atfred Henry Lewis starts his first art de on "Presidential Possibilities." and he writes ud Governor Hughes. He will follow with articles on Taft, Cannon, Cortelyou and others. Read the following extracts from Mr. Lewi' caustic article on Governor Hugnes in the February issue:

This should illustrate my meaning When Mr. the Go ernorthip, I chanced to te talktug politics

Roosevelt. "But you don't mean to toll inc." exclaimed that vigorous chief magistrate, arching eebrow of surprise at my expressed coolness toward Mr. Hughes, "that ou regard Mr. Hughes as other than hottest, able and ItHciligent." "!t me tell you a story," 1 said; "It should shed a ra. There was a careful farmer who owned a coo,) of p ieeless cochins. 'Some one." a the farmer, 'will steal these chickens it I .ion't watch out. I'll buy a dog an honest, able and intelligent dog.' He 'nnight the dog. installed him. and sought his downy couch, confideut. sat sfied and secure. That night cvei y cochin was stolen. The farmer was a naiod. There sal the dog honest, able and intelligent. And yet. that ere t coop-emptiness never seemed u bother him a bit. The farmer couldn't fathom it. His wonder abated.

however, when. uioti hack-tracking the miracle, he found that the party who stole the chickens wat the party who sold him the dug." Before Mr. Hughes began to run for office he had hurst upon the public notice twice. The first time he conducted an investigation against the gas thieves that resulted in no good to the public, no harm to the thieves. Mr. Hughes' second appearance was in con ct ion with that Insurance investigation, still warm in the memories of nen. It fell about in this wise: Mr. Ales ncier and young Mr. Hyde got to fighting for possession of the Kipiitab'?. They succeeded, so to speak, in kicking each other out of bed. and Mi Ryan got the bed. Also, they kicked the covers off the led. ami the Inner vileness of the Kijtiitable was disclosed to an onlooking world. This latter situation didn't suit the card of Mr. Ryau. then in iwssession of the bed. The Ryan ownership of the Kquttable was not to transpire for some months; but the truth is, he got possession before Messrs. Hyde and Alexander had been fighting a week. Mr. Rvan couldn't cover tip th Equitable rottenness; affairs had gone too far. Whereupon be resolved to do the next best thing, and uncover the rottenness of the Equitable rivals.. The New York Life and the Mutual were as vile in their internal management as wao the Equitable. Mr. Ryan pushed a legislature button or two, and an "investigation" was ordered. No: Mr. Ryan doesn't own the Albany legislature, but be occasionally leases It for the season, and this was one of the seasons. .
