PILFERS VALUABLE CHINA
woiimii Curries Awny Some
1'retty uiiil Co tly SIHIUITH from
an MinploycT'H HOIINC.
iMrs. Sadie Mack , laundress , is an elderly
woman who In early life Was possessed of
.1 good education and some means. Mis
fortune and daily hardships have not
blunted her appreciation of art , but , ' on the
.contrary , have served 'as an Irritant , and
this will explain why Mrs. Mack stole a
lot ot valuable hand-painted china from one
of her employers.
Among Mrs. Mack's patrons was the
family of Marcollus R. Rlsdon , 1819 Plnck-
ney street. In the capacity of washwoman
Eho hns been in the habit of working at
the Rlsdon homo two days a week. Last
December a sot of fruit saucers and sev
eral plates were missed from a priceless
set of porcelain ware. Detectives were de
tailed < to find the pieces missing from the
service nnd Thursday night Detectlvea
Drummy and Mitchell discovered them at
Mrs. Mack's residence , 1418 Brown street.
The china is old Slovers ware , having on
Its reverse the distinctive mark of manu
facture , the II. L. and bar. The painted
designs in gold and 'bright ' colors are by n
master hand and represent the acme ot
the decorative art. iMrs. Mack was loth
to part with her stolen treasures and con
fessed to the detectives that she never used
them , but , kept them hidden away to ba
looked at only occasionally. The china Is
valuable not only because it cannot be
duplicated , but because It was a gift.
"I knew the saucers were valuable , " Mrs.
Mack said , "but they were so pretty nnd
I never owned anything like them. "

A story has been current In financial cir
cles for a week past regarding a proposed
consolidation of nil of the packing houses
In the country. In other words the scheme
was to form a gigantic packing housa trust
which would control the live stock market
all over the United States.
E. A. Cudahy , vice president of the
Cudahy Packing company , was Interviewed
yesterday on this subject , and he was In
clined to laugh at the Idea. Ho said that
he had heard the rumors , but he had never
heard a word of the kind from a responsible
party. The meat packers , he said , had never
'talked ' about the affair , and for that reason
he assumed that there was nothing in tha
rumor.
In speaking of the same subject another
prominent packer said that P. D. Armour
would never lose his individuality by allow
ing his Interests to be absorbed by a trust.
Mr. Armour is now in Europe and a cable
gram received hero yesterday read that he
was in fairly good health and that the
reports of his serious Illness wcro false.
As for a packing house trust he would not
consider it for a moment.
The same might bo said of G. F. Swift ,
The Swift Packing company hap built up a
trade all over the woifld and a representa
tive of this concern asserted that Mr.
Swift would never consent to a combination
of Interests , as ho held his trade on the
merits of his products. Other packers
talked In about the same way , find It Is
evident that while trusts in different lines
may be formed every day there will bo no
packing house trust.
In case a trust was organized any one
of the great packing houses hero could
handle all the business at this point and
only ono live stock buyer would be neces
sary. Armour virtually controls the stock
yards hero , while Swift has the upper hand
at St. Joe and St. Louis. In Kansas City
and Chicago the controlling interests are
divided between several of the great packers.
So far South Omaha has not been afflicted
with a great trust and the prospects are
that it never will be. A prominent packing
IIOUBO manager who talked about the mat-
tbr said that by the forming of the etcel
trust 12,000 men were thrown out of em
ployment , and as far as ho was concerned he
would never vote for the organization of a
packing house trust on account of the largo
number of men who would be thrown out of
work. Mora than this it would take an im
mense sum to purchase the machinery now
In use in the various plants. If not uied
dally this machinery deteriorates in value
rapidly and In a year or two would bo prac
tically worthless. For this one reason alo'no
the packers assert that there la no prospect
of a trust being formed.
to li Street Viaduct ,
City Engineer Deal nnd Chief Engineer
King of the Stock Yards company mode a
trip over the L street viaduct yesterday ,
and Mr , Beal expressed himself as well
pleased with the manner in which the stock
yards company had made the repairs di
rected by the cltjc council. The city en
gineer asserted that the work had 1 > eon so
well done that he would recommend to the
council that the same construction gang
under Chief Engineer King bo employed
by the council to repair the west 314 feet.
Mr. Beal figured out that by having the
work done while the men and material arc
Btlll on the ground n saving of at least | 4S
would be made , 'As ' the city has to pay for
repairing the w , t approach it is thought
that the council will favorably consider
the recommendation of the engineer. This
work will not cost more than $200 , and It U
thought that it can be done for possibly
1150.
Injunction In IH | | > OHIM | of ,
Thp Morgan Injunction case ugalnet the
Union .Stock Yards company has gone glim
mering , as Judge Faiwcett refused to grant
a temporary Injunction. Morgan purchased
a , livery stable and feed lots on L street a
short time ago and when he found that the
stock yards company paid 'better ' prices
than his cow yard company could afford to
do ho made a kick. Horgan wanted to sell
his cow yard and sheds for something over
$4,000 , which was double the amount he had
paid for the same property a short time
before. The yard company declined to buy
at the figures mentioned and Horgan then
employed City Attorney Montgomery to
commence suit against the yards for main
taining n nuisance on the vacant lots north
of the L street viaduct. This land in ques
tion is owned by the stock yards company
and is being filled with manure , hay and
straw and will bo treated with a top dress
ing of two feet of earth and allowed to
Battle , then more earth will be piled on
and when this Is settled switch tracks will
bo laid.

LIFE BEHIND PRISON BARS
I2ii < cr < nliiH a I.arn < - '
Audience with it Horllnl ot Wur
The pulpit of Trinity Methodist Episcopal
church was occupied last evening by Bishop
C. C. McCabe of Fort Worth , ono ot the
eighteen traveling bishops appointed by the
Methodist church to carry the teachings of
the gospel to all parts of the world.
The subject of Bishop McCabe's discourse
was "The Bright Side ot Life in Llbby
Prison , " and his audience was so large
that oven standing room was not to ibo
had when he began speaking. The pulpit
was draped with a large American Hag and
the walls of the church were decorated with
the same ensign. The space behind the
chancel ratling was reserved for clergy
men , among those seated there being Dr.
J. W. Jennings , Dr. C. N. Dawson , Dr.
Cooper , Dr. Slsson nnd Presiding Elder
Hodgelts.
The somber , subject , prison life , lost Its
gloomy aspect when portrayed by Bishop
McCabe , and the audience was kept In
laughter most ot the time. The 'blshop'n '
descriptions of his comrades in the famous
prison , the receiving of the news by them
of Leo's' surrender and tholr celebration
were graphic and thrilling ,
Bishop McCabe alluded to Queen Vic
toria's attitude to America during the Span
ish war anil commented upon the lullueiico
with European powers England's friend
ship for us had. His remarks were con
cluded by a benediction for the queen that
was responded to by his hearers with u
hearty amen.
