Americans in London.
The American circle in London, so an
English paper says, is beginning to attain
an important position, owing to the fact
that so many American ladies have mar-
ried Englishmen qf title, “and are, on this
account, as well as for their personal at-
tractions and accomplishments, well re-
ceived everywhere. Ultimately the
American circle will, if it manages with
tact, and consents to glide, become a great
‘influence’ in London.”—New York Sun.

The Greatest Elevation.
The greatest elevation which has been
attained by man is 37,000 feet—about
seven miles—this height having been
reached during a balloon ascent made by
Glaisher At this tremendous distance
above the earth’s surface physical exer-
tion is found to be almost impossible,
owing to the great rarefaction of the at-
mosphere.—Detrgit Free Press.

Method of Electric Writing.
A small needle is vibrated to and fro by
the alternate currents. Attached to the
end of the needle is a siphon about the
hundredth part of an inch in diameter,
through which ink flows constantly. The
point of the siphon or pen rests on a strip
of paper which is automatically pulled
under it, and as the needle vibrates the
pen marks the vibrations in zigzag lines
on the paper. The operator reads the
signals off as they pass before him and
writes them on the usual blanks, while
an attendant coils up the paper strip and
files it away. There is no noise as with a
Morse instrument, and no “calling.”
The paper goes along continually and
when the operator at the other end of the
cable has a message to transmit he goes
right ahead with it. The sending opera-
tor sits to the right of the receiver and
manipulates two keys side by side, one
for the positive and the other for the
negative current. There is no sounding
instrument except the keys, and the
operator lias no means of knowing how
well he is doing, except that when it does
not reach the other end distinctly the
sending operator there notifies the re-
ceiver at this end, who tells his associate
where to repeat from.
A Morse operator unacquainted with
cable work would think the sending
operator was merely “drumming” on the
keys, as there appears to be no system
about it to the uninitiated.—New York
World.

Suffering from Red Tape.
The Panama canal seems to be suffering
from red tape. On one occasion it took
sixteen days’ time and 200 miles of travel
to get vouchers for some lubricating oil
which was lying alongside of the dredges
for which it was intended; and these
dredges lay idle, at a cost of $3,000 a day,
until they could get the oil. Upon another
occasion it took seven days to get five
cents’ worth of vaseline out of the base-
ment of the building in which it was
needed on some instruments of precision
to prevent rusting.—Chicago Herald.

been appliOTTo the sensation of recovery
from the anaesthetic effects of sulphuric

Artisan’s Dwellings in France.
In connection with the strikes in France,
and the general movement among the
working classes which they may portend,
it is , interesting to note some recent
efforts. to improve workingmen’s dwell-
ings. At Rouen a society has been-
formed, with a capital of £20,000, which
has erected six blocks in the center of the.
town, capable of accommodating ninety
families. At Lyons a similar society has
built five blocks, accommodating sixty
families. The rents are fixed at about
the average rate of the several districts,
but the tenants have complete sanitary
arrangements and a good water supply
into the bargain. In each case a direc-
tor of the company visits every tene-
ment once a week with a view of receiving
complaints and entering into kindly re-
lations with the tenants. The com-
panies have succeeded so far in paying 4
per cent, on the capital invested.
A feature of the scheme at Lyons is
that a portion of the capital was provided
by the local savings bank, and it is hoped
to induce similar banks at Marseilles and
elsewhere to do likewise. But even,so it
will be a long time before France can vie
with England in provision of sanitary
dwellings for the working classes.—Paris
Journal des Debats.
To the Evening Tribune:
Madeleine Place, September 18.—
I have a letter from two gentlemen in the
city, saying they have laid a wager, one
betting that I would vote the ticket
as put out by the late convention, the
other that I would not, and I am unable
to decide the wager at present for this
reason and will answer in this way :
Capt. James McDonald is the chair-
man of this senatorial district and the
member of the state executive committee,
and if. he makes no objection, then the
convention was regular and has the party
seal on it, As a Democrat pure and sim-
ple, I am, whether I am suited or not, in
honor bound to vote the ticket and will
do so, if not cheerfully or enthusiastically,
as a matter of duty. I can not at my stage
of life and twenty-nine years a Democrat,
vote against a nominee of the party, but
I am not satisfied with the moral and
political character of some of the nomi-
nees. I am not satisfied that all was fair in
the election of delegates and personally
I did not think the ruling of the chair at
all limes correct or according to the
usages of the party. I know that some
of the delegates, and I also _know that
some of the nominees are not Democrat \
and had they not been nominated would
have — and I think will yet — vote for
Marion Martin for governor. But who
can I vote for on principle if not the
nominees? I have no personal objection
to any of them, and politically my ob-
jection to some of them is that they have
heretofore ran against the nominee of the
party or voted independent, but their
present opponents are doing the same
thing to-day and the same objection
is valid against them. If Captain
McDonald, w'ho is the head of the party
here, says by his action that it was a
Democratic convention, then I am com-
pelled as a Democrat to vote the ticket.
But if he declares that it was irregular
and unfair, and that the delegates were
not Democrats, and the nominees simply
politicians for revenue only,and he orders
another primary, and says no man is
eligible for delegate or for nomination
who ran for office at the last election
against the nominee, or who can be
beyond a doubt convicted of voting
-against a nominee within the past two
years, and a ticket put in the field of men
who are Democrats on principle, then I
would vote for that ticket, otherwise I
will vote this — some of them straight
with pleasure, the others by hypodermic
injection.
But you will remember that the state
convention set an example in 1882 by the
nomination of Mr. Martin, and again in
1886 by the nomination of Mr. McCall.
These nominations were brought about
by a combination similar to the combina-
tion in the late county convention. A
delegate stated that he was told by one
of the principal leaders that if he would
give “ us” the district and county judges
and sheriff, that was all “we” wanted.
Who did he mean by “us” and “we,”
and by what authority use the plural?
If Chairman McDonald says “it’s a go,”
—Joseph, you have lost your wager, but

minority of Galveston Democracy,

J. D. SAWYER,
A Difference Between Amateur and Pro-
fessional Work—The Chicago Way.
Killing a chicken is a feat that few men
care to undertake a second time. It is
not half so easy as it looks. A man with-
out experience may approach his victim
confidently, seize it by the neck with a
vise-like grip and swing it round his head
and shoulders until he is tired or until
poor “chick” ceases to flop her wings or
wriggle her feet, and the chances are that
the half strangled bird will go cavorting
all over the back yard the instant it is
laid on the ground. Its slayer, tired and
sweaty and covered with dust and feath-
ers, chases it around a circle, and finally,
after a number of desperate plunges, re-
gains his grip on the limp but unbroken
neck.
“Take the ax and cut its head off,
John,” suggests his wife, who has been
an interested but silent spectator of the
attempted slaughter. John acts upon the
advice with a promptness that proves
that he knows a good thing. The ax is
procured, and again the wriggling bird is
imprisoned. John carries it in triumph over
to a block of wood, lays its neck out as
evenly as the muscular contortions of its
body and legs will permit, and then raises
the keen blade for the fatal blow. It de-
scends with unerring aim, and the severed
head rolls off the block. But before John
has time to congratulate himself on the'
success of his expedient the head gives
one flutter that is its last, and a tiny
stream of blood hardly bigger than a darn-
ing needle spurts from the gaping wound
like a geyser, and stains his white shirt
front a deep red. Then he vows in lan-
guage that will hardly bear reproduction
that he lias killed his last chicken. If
the victim is an aged and tough hen with
a steel spring neck and extraordinary
vitality the work of slaughter is even
more difficult. This is the way a man
kills a chicken intended for his own table.
Down in South Water street there are
fourteen chicken slaughter houses that
turn out an average of about thirty
thousand dead birds every twenty-four
hours. The process is simpler and more
rapid. There is an institution near the
corner of Clark street which alone is
ready to kill off the feathered tribe at the
rate of 10,000 a day if the consumption of
chicken meat warrants the wholesale
slaughter. ■ The chickens are brought to
the place by thousands and turned loose
in immense coops that occupy whole
floors, and there they crow and cluck and
eat corn until the remorseless hand of the
professional butcher closes on their necks.
When this happens there is no time for
another crow. The needle-like point of
the keen knife that the butcher carries in
his right hand is deftly inserted behind
the victim’s ear, and the next instant its
lifeless body is shooting through a spout
that leads to the floor where, the “plump-
ing” room is located. It is all done in the
briefest part of a second, as will be more
readily understood when it is stated that
this butcher, single handed and alone,
can stab 10,000 chickens in a day of ten
hours. It does not make any difference
to him whether the victim is a spring
chicken or a full fledged hen. One falls
as easily before the plunge of his knife as
the other.
But it is in the “plumping” room that
the hen has a chance to exhibit its vitality.
In one corner of this apartment, which is
always half filled with wet feathers, is a
big iron tank full of boiling water. Into
this the bodies of the birds are thrown as
fast as they fall from the butcher’s spout,
and after they have been there half a
minute they are hauled out by the legs
and stripped of their feathers. This pro-
cess requires but two sweeps of a ham-
like hand, and the bird, denuded, is
flung into a cooling box. From there
they go downstairs to another cooler, and
then they are packed for shipment.—
