MUlloaia In rested.
S
The strict observance of the old Mosiac
law tn the slaughter of cattle la one of
the most remarkable feature In the busi
ness of the New York Butchers' Dressed
Meat company, which la making; a deter
mined fight asainst the American Beef
trust. In the moat modern and complete
abattoir In the world, which haa recently
been erected on the corner of Eleventh
venue and Thirty-ninth atreet tn New
Tork City, every head of cattle Is belns
killed by some one of nine specially se
lected Jewish rabbis. In strict accordance
with the lawa laid down by Moses for the
children of Israel before they entered the
Promised Land many oenturlea ajro.
Every head of cattle before belns slaugh
tered la examined by these rabbis, and
after death Ita entrails are also examined
for the leaat trace of disease, which, If
found, causes Its prompt rejection. On of
tha requirement of the Mosaic law Is that
the animal shall be In perfect condition
after death. For thla reaaon they are not
allowed to stun It with a blow on the
forehead from an axe, aa ia the custom
In nearly all of the other abattoirs. According-
to the Mosaic law, the killing must
be accomplished by one clean stroke of a
knife across the throat and the blood must
be allowed to flow from the wound natu
rally, so aa to leave the carcass In perfect
condition. If a nick Is discovered In the
knife after the operation, caused by con
tart with the neck bone, the animal killed
with It must be rejected.
The new abattoir plant In which this work
haa beirun was planned and built only
after experts had visited and examined all
rf the leading abattoirs in thla country and
Canada. They took the best features of
all the plants examined, and to them added
Improvements which probably make the
New York abattoir the finest plant of Its
kind In the world. Tha organisers of the
movement were encouraged to take up
this flght against the main business of the
Beef trust because of their success In the
, fat rendering business In thla city. Seven
years ago they were compelled to do their
own fat rendering because of the extor

bined with the present -new abattoir.
The new abattoir building Is seven stories
high, fireproof, of steal construction and
composed of pressed brick and limestone.
In no part of It la there any wood or any
other material that might absorb blood or
molature and thus create a breeding place,
for germs. The floors are of concrete and
the wall are tiled with glased brick from
llar to roof. Each floor has ts toilets

ings, ground and other Improvements up
to this time Is about $1,600,000.
Instead ot keeping the rattle as they
arrive In close hot pens on the ground, or
In cellars, as Is sometimes the case In other
abattoirs, the cattle are driven as soon
aa they arrive up Inclines to cattle pens
on the roof of the building, where they are
watered and fed and allowed to rest, so as
to get over the fever and heat of their
long Journey. Alongside of the Incline
for the cattle runs an elevated walk for
the men who drive them. An Ingenious
Instrument has been Invented for use by
the men. with which, by simply touching
them, they can give them a lli?ht electric
(hock and thus urge them forward. If
goads were used with spikes In the end
It would result In wounds which would
make the rabbis reject the anlmils.
Two large white steers named Jim snj
Ike, In honor of two men who have been
prominent In the new enterprise, have
been trained to lead droves of cattle up the
Inclines to the pens on the roof. They are
to accustomed to the work thit h:i
placed in front of the Incoming droves they
move steadily up the Incline, followed by
their unsuspecting victims. The floor of
the roof pens Is composed of vitrified brick
with tight Joints snd Is well dnlned. so
that It can be readily cleansed with water
from a hose. The manure from the roof
Is removed by means of an Iron chu lend
ing to metal bins on"the ground floor.
The Kllllag Floors.
The main killing floor. In the fifth storv,
has killing beds, which are all of blue
store, with tight Joints, thoroughly water
proof and nonahsorhent. The walls are of
enamel brick. The celling Is high and the
room Is light and well ventilated. After be
ing killed the animals are cut up In this
room and the different parts placed on
hooks, which are attached to overhead
trolleys and sent to the elevators, from
which they are lowered to the different
cold storage apartments on the various
floors. Py mean of steel chutes the heads.
j feet and peN are transported from the
killing beds to steel tanks on the first floor.
On the fifth floor Is the rabhls' dressing
room, the government Inspectors' rooms,
shower baths and lavatories. There are
fourteen killing beds on this floor and each
Is provided with a friction hoist for sling
ing the cattle and a douhle friction hoist
for dropping the animal and lifting It, with
the spreaders, ready to be split, washed
and taken to the chill room on the fourth
floor. All the hoists are electrically driven
by six fifteen-horse power electric motors.
Each killing pen has a rapacity of 3D0
cattle dally, making the total number of
cattle that can be killed dally In all pens
S.ft or IS Sin) for six week day.
The fifth mexxanlne floor contains pens
for small stock, killing block and toilets.
This floor occupies only about one-half of
the area of the building, forming a gallery
on the north and west sides of the main
killing floor.
The fourth story contains tha fat picking
department, chill rooms and refrigerating
machines. There are on this floor three
patent air t'ltnlrrs. one KO-ton capacity
and two sixty-ton capacity, with an In
dependent fan and electric motor for
each, and all pumps, tanks and ammonia
connections. Each cooler Is enclosed In
sheet metal cunstruction and Is directly
connected to the air duct system through
out the cold storujet- rMim. Aa s,xn as
ku ui.ciric laua ai stdiled the air la
driven through the coolers Into the ver
tical air ducts, from which horizontal air
ducts branch out on each floor below.
These horizontal ducts are concealed be
tween the false ceilings and floorings and
allow the cold air to escape Into the rooms
below. Another system of ducts Is con
nected with the fan room, forming a com
plete circuit, and through the system the
warm air Is taken away from the storage
rooms, forced by the fans through the air
coolers Into the cold air ducts and thence
back into the cold storage rooms again.
By this system the chill room chills beef
to 3$ degrees and keeps the temperature of
all storage rooms down to 30 degrees when
tilled with previously chilled beef. These
cold storage or chill rooms are on the
fourth, third, second, first and basement
floors.
The general offices and directors' rooms
are on the second floor and the sales
rooms are In both the first story and base
ment Disposal of Offal.
The fat house and offal and blood dis
posal machinery are located in a building
adjoining tha abattoir pr.ip.er, just de
scribed. It Is a five-story and cellar brick
building. The basement is used for th
storing of hides, which are delivered from
the killing floor by a steel chute. The
second floor contains the appliances for
disposing of the waste products of the
slaughter house In the most sanitary man
ner. Two complete units have been In
stalled and space Is reserved for a third.
The great advantage of the unit system
Is that In case any one unit Is out of com
mission for any reason the process does
not come to a standstill. Each unit con
sists of two vertical tanks located directly
over a horizontal one. The vertical tanks
are the dlgcstors, in which the materials
are thoroughly disintegrated and are
cooked with steam, separating the fat from
the rest of the material, which Is known
as scrap After driving off the fat tne
scrap ia dropped to the tank below, dried
and converted Into fertilizer. In many of
the older establishments this scrap la
pressed before drying, and this often
causes a sertous nuisance.
The second floor contains two blood tanks
and a blood drier, operating on the same
principle aa the apparatus Just described,
converting the blood discharged from the
killing beds directly Into the blood tank
and being at once submitted to the cook
ing and drying processes. All the residual
gases and vapors that are not condened
by these processes are led off by ducts to
the grate bars of the furnace, where they
are consumed by Are.
The Power lloase.
The power house of tn Abattoir Is a
three-story brick and lime stone bulll
Ipg adjoining. The basement Is d,lviJ4
luto two separate rooms, the boiler room
and pump room, with the vault under
th sidewalk for the storage of coat and
the weighing hopper. The ccal la dumped
Into the weighing hopper under the side
walk In front of the building aad from
there la taken by an endlesa bucket chain
to the bunkers. Th bottom of the bunk
ers is provided with openings and valva.
through which the coai la allowed to pass
Into th automatic scales and from thr
to the automatic stokers of each boiler.
By thla method a clear record of the cost
of production is kept and the engineer
enabled In aactLTlala In suam pris-iocing
qualities of the different grades of coal
used. The smokestack Is laO feet high anJ
la constructed of hollow terra cotta blocks.
It Is supported by steel girders at a point
twenty-three feet above the boiler room
floor.
All of the power used In the abattoir
Is electrically transmitted and there are
two 4ofj and one 'M kilowatt generators,
directly connected to the engines of the
power house.
One of the valuable concessions received
by the company from New York City is
a permit to drive rattle through West
Thirty-ninth street from the dock to Its
buildings and to put railroad gates across
the street, which may be closed at sucn
times as the cattle are being driven. The
first lot of Bteers that came In were brought
In cars which the omnany has leased, as
It has decided to get whatever advantage
there may be In the ownership of th
cars In which its stock Is transported.
The company owns twenty-eight city
lots on Eleventh avenu between Thlrtv
eighth and Fortieth streets, and as I's
business Increases It expects to put up
more buildings It also has a dock privi
lege of liO feet at the foot of West Thirty
ninth street, leased from the city for a
term of twenty years, and haa laid a slx-teen-lnch
salt water main out Into North
river.

Year la Recover Them from
tha Pawnees.
The Pog Soldier band of Cheyenne In-
dlans from western Oklahoma has Just
completed a visit with the Ekede hand of ;
the Pawnees, near Pawnee. The Cheyennes I
to the number of 3no came to recover two J
""" rro capturea rrom tnem rjy the
Pawnees many years ago, and this visit
was the first ttme the two bands had met
In friendly council sine the time when
both were on the warpath. The Pawnees
entertained the Cheyennes at a war daire
and gav them many presents. Including
ponies, blankets, calico and provisions, but
would not relinquish th sacred arrows.
The Cheyennes performed what they called
the lightning dance
Th two sacred arrows were captured
from the Cheyennes In battle on Platte
river, Nebraska, about sixty years agVi. A
Pawnee who had previously been crippled
and who preferred death to the suffering
caused by his wounds had stationed him
self far In advance of the other Pawnee
In 4 clump ot bushes. As he was picklrg
off a great many Cheyennes with his ar
rows they saw that It aaa necessary t dis
lodge him.
Accordingly a bunch' of Cheyenne war
rtora on .horseback made a daah for the
g1uiu e b ai.a, Lhir srd rro keeper
In the lead. He had the arrows, four In
number, fastened to a long spear, and as he
struck at the Pawnee the crippled man
dodged to one side and grasped the spear,
wresting it from the Cheyenne's hand. Al
most simultaneously with the charge of the
Cheyennes. a few Pawnees In the rear, see
ing the danger of thetr crippled brave,
rushed to his assistance. The Cheyennes
a-ere thus routed before they could regain
their sacred arrows.
About ten years later the Cheyennes re
covered two of their sacred arrows by giv
ing the Pawnees V ponies. In their ne
gotiations here the Cheyennes were unable
to convince the Pawnees that the two ar
rows still In the latter s possession should
be surrendered at this time The Pawnees
sail that If the Tog Soldier Cheyennes
should prove worthy friends of the Skedee
band after the Intended visit of the Paw
nees to the Cheyennes next summer the
Paa-nees may listen to a proposal from the
Cheyennes. At this time the Cheyennes
must be satisfied with the presents they
have received Kansas City Journal
CRACK IN PLYMOUTH ROJK
Crevice Filled with Centeat Involves
a lataae Bit af
History.
Plymouth has been called th cradle of
New England. It Is on the coast, thirty
eight miles south of Boston, and is a
thriving and prosperous New England
town, w'lh good schools and churches, and
town hall, and shops of all klnda. and
cor'forible homes.
On the fit strip of land that runs for
miles up and down th shore of the bay
the diminutive white houses of the fisher
men are crowded close together. In the
renter on the same (lit land s'r'.p. flanked
on both sides by the fishermen's homes. Is
a large. otn square, f rty yards from the
water front Here stands Plymouth Rock,
the first sight of which gives ore a ment.il
Shock, for. no doubt, fancy has pictured
an Immense bowlder rising grandly out of
the sea. hut instead the visitor sees only
an oblong. Irregularly shaped gray sand
stone rock twelve feet In length snd five
feet In width at the widest point and two
at the narrowest. Across one part runs a
large crack which has been filled with ce
nent. and which gives to Plymouth P,a-k
a highly artificial app-aranre. The origin
of this crack Is a bit of unique history and
bears ev'dence to the early dtfferen-es that
at times divided the" Inhabitants into two
factions
For a long time there waged spiritual and
bitter wrangling between the opposing par
ties, and It even settled down upou the
murh-cher1shed Plymouth Rock, which one
party declared ought to be removed to a
more worthy position In the town square,
and the other wrangler protested It sr.ouid
not be moved an Inch from Its position,
even though they had to guard It with their
pikes and guns.
Finally the stronger faction drew up their
forces around Plymonh Rock, and In
attempting to move It up the hill split It
asunder, which seemed a bad omen for
those who had attempted such a thing,
until an ardent Whig leader flourished hla
sword and by eloquent appeal to th other
zealous Whigs convinced them that they
should not saerv from iLtu plaa of
carrying the rock to a place In tha town
square.
"The portion that first fell to the ground
belongs to us." he cried, "and that we will
transport with all care and diligence to lu
proper home."
Twenty yoke of oxen drew the Whig sec
tion of Plymouth Rock up the hill, amid
the shouts of the throng that pushed for
ward around the liberty pole which was
to mark the new site. The ceremony of
dedicating the rock In Its new position waa
very Impressive, and the people stood with
bared heads and In reverent tones chanted
their high-pitched psalms In token of
thanksgiving
In the town square this part of Plymouth
Rock remained for more than half a cen
tury, when a committee of the council
resolved to move it back to Ita original
position, and Join It. as best they could, tn
the other half. Accordingly. In 1534. on th
morning of the Fourth of July, th Fly
mouth Rock had been reunited In all serl
ousnes to Its long-estranged portion and
the union made complete by a mixture of
rement and n-.ortar.
Today four granite columns support a
canopy of granite that offers Plymou'h
Rock an Indifferent protection against th
rain and the sun and serves to keep back.
