Phil Armour on the Beef and Pork Pack
ing Situation.
New York. July 11. P. D. Armour,
the wealthiest man in Chicago, was a
passenger cu the Paris. To a reporter
he said before leaving: "The beef and
pork packing industry is still in a veiy
unsatisfactory condition. The public
has had an erroneous idea with regard
to the business in which I am interested
There has been no trust formed to ad
vance prices, nor to create a mythical
scarcity of cattle to corner the market.
The cattlo raisers are masters of the sit
nation. They are holding their cattle
at such figures as compel the packers to
pay unprofitable piices for stock, and in
order to get out without any loss wo
havo had to advance prices to the mar
ket men. The result is that there has
been no money in meat for a long time."

$Ji:5,COO,000 have been released from
the hands of the courts by foreclosure
sale, reducing the number in receivers'
hands to 13G, although the mileage and
capitalization are not very much less
than a year ago, owing to the slow

AUTHORS AND MARRIAGE.
The
Single State, It Is Said, Is the Rest
For Literary 31 en.
When we compare tho restrictions of
married men with tho opportunities of
the bachelor, wo seo that the latter has
well nigh boundless possibilities for go
ing into the social world. Ho has scores
of invitations which will never reach
his married friends, and ho is generally
sought after in society until ho is al
most threescore and ten. Even married
women are more interested in him,
whether they havo a candidate for his
hand or not. They talk with him on a
wider range of subjects, in which they
know he is surer to bo interested than
those whoso chief thoughts are wrapped
up in their families. Ho may havo no
more invitations to tho most notable
gatherings than famous married men, but
it is in the less pretentious places that
most is learned of human life, and ho
can call where husbands cannot, and so
easily study types denied to them. Tho
world lies open in all directions to him.
Ho is not tethered to a stake. Ho wishes
to study tho society of a certain city, to
writo a novel with a local flavor, and ho
removes thero at his own sweet will.
Ho stays abroad as long as ho likes, and
if ho wishes to study tho lower classes
there he can live in lodgings among
them where he would never tako his
wife.
Wheuwocomo to investigate tho lives
of tho greatest authors, wo shall find
that the majority either did not marry,
or they wero unhappily mated, and
hence thrown on tho world for consola
tion and enlargement of knowledge, or
thev laid tho foundations for greatness
before marriage.
Among thoso wo may mention in tho
class of unmarried authors arc Alexan
der Pope, Thomas Gray, Oliver Gold
smith, Edward Gibbon, Charles Lamb,
Lord ilacanlay, Washington Irving,
llkio Collins, Charles Eeade. Wo
ought also to add to this list tho giant
satirist, Dean Swift, for he never lived
with his wife, and Lord Byron, who
had only about a year's experience of
married life.
Wo find somo great names among tho
list of the unhappily married. The most
enthusiastic advocates of matrimony
could scarcely havo the assurance to say
that it aided or was anything else than
a clog to Chancer, Shakespeare, Dickens
or Thackerav.
It would bo wearisomo to givo tho
names of all those authors who laid tho
foundations of greatness before mar

WILD DILL'S HANDIWORK.
A Lastin Memorial of the Desperado'
Skill With the Pistol.
On tho west side of Market square in
Kansas City stands a threo story front
of buildings known locally as Battlo
row, from tho pugnacious bent of tho
inhabitants. These lapse into brawls and
chance meddle encounters with an ease
which should alarm. Up under the cor
nice of ono of tho buildings is an Odd
Fellows' sign, "I. O. O. P." If ono's
eyes arc sharp, tho whito paint interior
of the first Owill show a huddle of gray,
weather hned spots very well in tho cen
ter of tho letter. They aro tho handi
work of that long haired gentleman of
the border, Wild Bill.
It was back in tho middle seventies
when Wild Bill, "by request," aud
merely to show his witchliko skill with
those weapons, stood across tho street,
fully 100 feet away, and with a 45 cal
iber Colt's pistol in each hand put all
the 12 bullets into tho center of this
"O."' He fired the pistols simultaneous
ly, and tho 12 shots made only six re
ports. Tho town was smaller at that
timo and in the interest of science didn't
mind a little racket now aud then. So
Wild Bill's exhibition of crack pistol
shooting excited nothing but compli
ment. Indeed Sneers, chief of police
then, as well as now, was one of tho
most interested lookers on, and emphat
ically indorsed tho exhibition as ono of
tho most skillful tricks with pistols it
had ever been his luck to seo. Washing

Keeping Everlastingly at It.
Genius is really only tho power of
making continuous efforts. The lino be
tween failure and success is so fine that
wo scarcely know when wo pass it so
fino that we aro often on the lino and
do not know it. How many a man has
thrown up his hands at a time when a
little more effort, a littlo more patience,
would havo achieved success ! As the
tide goes clear out, so it comes clear in.
In business sometimes prospects may
seem darkest when really they aro on
the turn. A littlo more persistence, a
little more etfort. and what seemed hope
less failure may turn to glorious suc
cess, lhere is no failure except in no
longer trying. There is no defeat except
from within, no really insurmountable
barrier save our own inherent weakness
