FROM. W. J. HOU8TON.
Mr. Walter Taylor. Atlanta, Ga.:
My Dear Sir—l notice with much
pleaeure your efforte in behalf of pro
tecting our people from polluted meat,
lin thle connection 1 want to relate a
circumstance coming ynder my Imme
diate obaervatlon.
While visiting In the atate of Iowa
four years ago, a friend rarrled me ten
' miles In the country to see some 2-
yeer-old steers lie was fattening for
market. These steers averaged 1,100
isiunde, were uniform In color, and
from all outward appearancea I could
see nothing but perfection In every par
ticular. The owner, drove them Into
the shipping point the same week, and
to keep them up to their full stand
ard, only required them driven about
two miles an hour.
1 was present when they were driven
In the pen for shipment to an Eastern
market, and noticed that seven of them
were singled otit and driven Into a sep
arate pen, and I very naturally In
quired why they were left out, receiv
ing a very frank reply, that they would
—' lint pass Inspection In ao'-Hastenr mae-
ket, but would pass all right for the
Southern market, and would go to Kan
sas City for slaughter, while the others
would go to Chicago, thenco to the
East.
These seven head, to my eye, looked
quite ns perfect as the remainder, and
on Inquiry I learned they had a disease
called lump Jaw and would be con
demned In Chicago. I Immediately no
tified one of our leading dally papers,
asking them to take the matter up, and
ventilate the fraud upon our people,
but nothing waa ever primed or sa|d
about It. Yours very truly,
W. J. HOUSTON.

JE WS CAST OUT OF CHURCH
EDITOR WHO SLANDERED
By Private {.eased Wire.
Chicago, Aug. 27,—Declared a rene
gade, a disgrace to his race and faith,
and a traducer, Joel Ltebllng, editor
of the Jewish Dally Press, was excom
municated and pronounced an outcast
by delegates representing every ortho
dox Jew synagogue and temple In
Chicago yesterday.
In the resolutions which declared the
editor an outcast, It was voted that
the same anathema should descend on
whoever might befriend him. Further,
It was decreed that copies of the reso
lutions should be sent to every Jewish
community In the world. Following
the adoption of the resolutions the
question of putting Llebling outside the
pale of the church was taken up. Rab
bis Epstein, Brody and Hamburger
consulted the law and the prophets to
decide whether the offense with which
he was charged would warrant such a
course.
It was decided that the excommuni
cation would be proper, and after the
regular forms In the ritual of Jewish
worship had been performed, It was
announbed by Rabbi Epstein that "In
the name of God and by the authority
of the assembly of Jewish congrega
tions," one Joel Llebling was read out
of the synagogue *and the fellowship
of all orthodox Jews. The excommu
nication does not ufTcct hts wife and
son, as they are declared to be Inno
cent parties.
Llebling, as the editor of the Jewish
paper, was accused of slandering re
spectable and even noted persons of the
Jewish race, us a remainder that It
would be well either to advertise In
or subscribe for his journal. A few
months ago he was said to have been
horse whipped by Miss T. Welnsaker
for alleged libelous and scandalous
statements. Finally, It was charged,
he called a rabbi, for 35 years one of
the most respected In the city, a de
generate and a drunkard. This lost
charge was the cause of the most in
tense resentment.
HEAD OF THE REBEL JUNTA
BIDS ANDRADE TO A DUEL
By Private 1 .eased Wire.
New York, Aug. 27.—Colonel Charles
M. Aguirre, the American-born Cuban,
head of the rebel Junta here, was Irate
when he /ead an Interview given at
Havana by General Freyere ^ndrade.
ex-secretary of the Interior and now
speaker of the house of representative*.
His fighting blood was aroused when
he read that Andrade charged that he
has spent money subscribed for the
rebel cause.
For the twenty-four new positions
on the county police force created at
a special meeting of the county com
missioners Saturday, at least 300 ap
plications have been made already.
All. day long "I’d like to see you
for a few minutes" has been dinned
Into the ears of Chief A. Q. Turner,
Sheriff. J. VV. Nelms,, Secretary Hen
ry M. \Vood/^>f the county commis
sioners, and the various members of
the commission themselves.
The applicants have been of various
sizes, shapes and ages and Include
members of the city police force, street
railway employees and men in dozens
of other vocations. The seventy-flte-
dollar-per-month salary of the depu-
ty-sheriff-road-Inspector looks good to
lots of people, and they go after It
without knowing that they will have to
furnish their own horses, and arms and
uniforms and other equipment, at
cost of some $250, before they begin
to go to the county for their salary.
Chief Turner said Monday morning
that the three lieutenants who will
command the different posts w*ould be
elected by the men themselves a* soon
as the full force had been selected.
"That’ll be where political wires will
be pulled, for store,’* said the chief.
"I’m going to let the men select their
own officers, and If a dead-lock de
velops they’ll have to make the best
of it. I’m not going to break It.*’
The identity of the "Zeigler system,"
recommended as the best method of
communication between the p^sts, is a
mystery. Some one said that it was
the article needed, but what was it?
Sheriff Nelms, /who recommended It,
said It had been recommended to him
by some one else, but that some-one
knew not the system. Zeigler is *not
in the vocabulary of the city police
department, and no one has yet been
located who can tell what It Is be
yond that: it ptjovlde* a way for the
men of the. three, posts to keep in touch
the count ry dlstr
Blanks whereon to make applica
tions for the now positions have been
made up, and are in the hands of the
printer. They will be ready for dis
tribution to applicants at the offlee of

few unimportant skirmishes In the
provinces of Hanava, Plnar del Rio and
Santa-Clara, there has been no fighting
In Cuba for the past twenty-four hours,
so far as can be learned. Tho govern
ment Is doing all In Its power, how
ever, to prevent the publication of news
from tho Held. As a natural result
rumors were plentiful.' One Is lo the
effect that Guerra has been brought to
bay near Duanes, and that a decisive
battle Is now being fought at that point
In the Vuelta abajo. It Is Impossible
to verify the reports. It Is generally
discredited In well-informed circles.
Another Is to the effect that the prov
ince^ of Santiago Is aflame with rebel
lion nnd that the government Is sup
pressing the bad news from this dis
trict. This Is det\jed by General Mon
talvo, who declares all Is quiet In San
tiago.
Several men are reported killed and
wounded In an engagement near Cas-
cobal between government troops un
der 5IaJor Gomez and a rebel band.
The rebels were scattered.
In Havana province Colonel Asbert,
who succeeded Banderas In command
of the rebel forces. Is very active. He
haa gained many recruits and Is secur
ing others hourly.
■Rebels Are Victorious,
In two skirmishes with government
troops the forces of Colonel Asbert
have been victorious. He says he does
not seek bloodshed nnd his men have
fought only when attacked, as they do
not wish to kill brother Cubans,
General Ramael Montalvo, acting sec
retary of the Interior, announces that
there Is jio Intention on the part of the
government to declare a thirty days’
amnesty and Invite the rebels to lay
down their arms.
Ex-Congressman Carlos’ Mendleta,

provlnoe, and Captain Aranaw, his ad
Jutant, have been captured by govern
ment troops. They were about to leave
for the north and had 58,000 with them,
with which' It Is supposed they were
going to buy arms for the rebels.

The half forgotten chorus of "Put Me
Off at Buffttto" cpme back Monday to
many a man who had planned a rail
way'Journey- to seashore or mountains.
Many a weary worker who had post
poned his vacation trip to the tall of
the season learned with Horror that if
he must ride he must pay.
For there are no more passes. The
edict has gone fprth. The blow fell
Monday, and after'mldnlght the mile
age book will be no more than an
exhausted meal ticket, the annual card
will be even as a greasy deuce In a
dirty deck.
Congress did If. The Interstate com
merce act, known familiarly as tha rate
bill, filled the newspapers tor weeks,
hut the public heeded not, or heeding
failed to realize Its awful possibili
ties. While rejoicing In the confusion
of the railroads shorn of their rebates
and held up to scorn, the army of
deadheads forgot their own Impending
disaster. For the rate bill cut oft all
pnsses between states and armed the
passenger agent with a new excuse for
refusing the little bit of blue paper.
“Pay, Pay; Pay."
It’s all off. The hard working law
maker may ride If he will between the
coniines of his constituency and the
city of the state house, but If hie soul
yearn for a Journey to Wrlghtsvllle
Beach or to gay New York, he must
dig deep Into his Jeans or content hie
soul with yearning. The heavy ship
per, In whose pocket haa reposed the
annual over many roada, must hie him
to the ticket seller and deliver up
his purse. The ward leader and the
councilman, even while remembering
franchises given without price to this
octopus or that must stay at home
to gate upon the destruction he has
wrought or seek out the little ticket
window and pay, pay, pay.
The newspaper man! Ah, there was
the most unklndeat cut of all. Many
a pusher of the pen retired to his
sanctum 5londay. and taking out his
well-worn annual nass gazed fondly
and regretfully as upon the cold corpse
of u departed friend. Many a reporter
who had nursed the hope of a vacation
well earned, a Journey to some well-
stocked stream away from births end
deaths and all that makes the deadly
dull routine’ went hopefully to the
offlee of the boas to learn that even
hustlers on the street were not be
neath the notice of the great. Wheth
er to ride and leave no cash for food
or stay at home with caeh but no
vacation—that Is the queetlon w-hlch
must be confronted.
The edict reaches further. The ad
vance agent of the show, bedlamonded,
wordy, promising much snlendor, must
pay hla coin for fare like the lowliest
chorus girl. The clerks In railroad of
fices, whose weekly tripe to springe
nnd sister cities have made them the
envy of their fellows must spend their
Sundaes where the soda splatters In
the glass or hie them to the zoo for
entertainment. The mandate of the
lawmakers In congress assembled has
forgotten no one. Only the officials
of common carriers may Journey from
state to state and heed not the voice
of the conductor crying. ’’Tickets."
Rsilreade Post Notices.
Those tn Atlanta who had forgotten
were reminded forcibly on Monday. On
the walls and pillars at the railway
statlons were posted notices warning
passengers to present* no Interstate
mileage books nor passes after mid
night or In the days to follow. Ac
companying the warning was the re
minder that such a crime was punish
able by line and both the railroad and
the petssenger were liable. Conductors
are ordered to take up such transpor
tation and collect full fare.
Even tickets In exchange for adver
tising .*re abolished. Railroads which
advertise In newspapers usually pay
their Mile by Issuing transportation.
Monday morning the business man
agers received circulars from the vari
ous roads ordering all contracts can
celled and warning the papers to use
no mileage or other transportation aft
er midnight. It wns stated that new
advertising contracts on a different
basis would be arranged In a short
tlme.;-
There Is but one ray of light In the
glsorgy horizon for Um pass user. The
interstate law takes' no cognizance of
a trip within the boundaries of a state
and the roads are free to use their
own discretion In such matters. Wheth
er the roads will evade the spirit of
the act by Issuing passes to the state
line and from state line to other points
through offices In the respective states
Is still In doubl. But It Is certain that
the railroads, never prone to grant a
pass where this could be avoided, will
etraln no points to give a free ride to
any but those high In authority.
The law against passes will If closely
Interpreted force the railroads to pay
transportation for their own traveling
agents, when they travel over other
roads unless such agents can be con
sidered •’officials" of the companies. It
deprives the families of all employees
of their accustomed free trips during
tho summer. It prevents the granting
of passes to promoters of excursion
parties In return for their services. The
great army of deadheads must learn
to pay or stay at home, and the army
has been growing. It Is a proverb with
railroads as with theaters that one
who has once secured a pass will never
be content to pay his way again. But
some of them must learn.
Rtduesd Rates Stopped.
Not only free passes but reduced
ratq tickets under certain conditions
are cut off. The railroads posted an
order Monday that no more half-rate
tickets In case* of distress would be
Issued unless the request were accom
panied by the certificate of a reputable
physician. Clergymen, who have been
accustomed to traveling at half price,
must pay full fare. The blow falls
alike upon the just and the unlust.
But the all-wise congress In Its de
sire t,o aid t)ie poverty-stricken made
one exception. It permits the officials
of the Btandnril oil Company to re
ceive passes inroughout the union.
Perhaps tho I i 'cent little •'rider’’ In
the bill wns overlooked, but It Is there.

Is for an entirely new and unheard of
honor, haa caused considerable com
ment In Georgia and other statee of the
South. The place waa created by the
state Democratic executive committee
at Its meeting In Montgomery In Jan
uary, when it adopted plans to govern
the primary. The place, which waa
created becauae of tha fact that tha
leglalature meets only once every four
years In this state, and because tha leg
islature which will be elected Monday
will be' called on to elect the successors
to Senators John S’. Morgan and Ed
mund W. Pettus,' waa dubbed as the
office of "senator In waiting" when first
created. Senator Morgan’s term ex
pires In the United States senate March
4, 1907, while that of Senator Pettus
ends March 4, 1909. By what has the
appearance of the common consent of
the people of Alabama, Senators Mor
gan and Pettus have lifetime posi
tions.
Have No Opposition.
In Alabama It seems to be a political
mistake to dare mention opposition to
either of these venerable men. They
are without opposition In the coming
primary, and If they live until January
, 1907, when the new legislature meets,
they will be re-elected by a unanimous
vote. But In the meantime the scram
ble is for the place of one or the other
or both In the event there Is one or two
vacancies. The two •'alternate” sena
tors will simply have . -pty honors un
til they have the privilege of stepping
Into the shoes willed them by either
Morgan or Pettus. Under the rule of
the primary the candidate getting the
largest vote will get the flrst vacancy.
The next highest vote will land the sec
ond candidate. This means that If one
of the venerable men should die the
leglalature would be morally obligated
to elect the "alternate" senator nomi
nated Monday, and In the event the
legislature la not In session the govern
or will be under obligations to name
the "senntor In waiting."
The law provides for passes for offi
cials of ’’common carriers,” and In an
other paragraph the Standard Oil Com-
nnnti Is mn.la ■ "PAnimMI i'fl I’H AT " Thfi
pany Is made a "common carrier." The
suffering public may console Itself that
when John D. and hla family take a
pleasure trip It will not necessarily add
a cent to the pries of oil.
