sible candidate for President Xluholls'

provoked by ti motion made to recon
sider cei tain resolution p.tssed earlier
In the convention, and after a stormy
debate it was dually ilecided not to re
consider any of these measures.
The morning session adjourned about
IS.:!0 o'clock, and promptly after the
rnlllng of the afternoon session the
matter of Hie aottloment of local griev
ances during the eomlny year as
brought up for discussion. The final
fiction taken was in accordance with
the, resolutions adopted at the Joint
convention at "Whites-Harrc. In the
future each eolliciy will .settle its own
grievances with its own men. In cases
where the grievance at one of thu
eoal-earrying or other large company's
mines ate general, a Joint committee
from Ihe several collieries affected will
wait on the local authorities. The
motion was carried by a unanimous
vote. The operators have repeatedly
signified their willingness to treat with
their own employes, and the action of
ihe convention therefore presages an
end to petty strikes.

THE PACKING INTERESTS.
One of America's Greatest Industries
Hepresented at the Pan
American Exposition.
un of the mosi ptolitable lines of
business in Notth and South Ameilca
Is the growing of cattle, hogs and
sheep. The millions of acres of natu
inl pastuie land contained in the vast
area between the fiftieth parallel. of
latitude north and south and oxteml
irigeasl end west from one gieul ocean
to 'the other, are the natural feeding
giouud of the animals that form the
gi eater pr.it of the me.it supply of the
wot Id.
Not ninny years ago the animals
were shipped alive to tho place where
they were marketed and almost every
village bad its butcher who bought the
live animals, slaughtered them and sold
the fresh mi at to the populace in quan
tities as desired. There was no at
tempt at making use of anything but
tho edible parts and what now con
stitutes the profits of the business was
then thrown away.
Improvements In rcfilgerallon and
the application of the principle to car
and vessel fi eighth has slowly wrought
a vast change. Animals are now sent
trom the lunches and farm pasture
lands to tho great packing plantswhere
they are slaughtered, classified and th
quarters and halves, shoulders, hams
and bacon, sent in every direction.
While refilgeration permits the ship
ment of fresh meats by the train load,
the canning industry Is the safety
valve which operates by furnishing a
storage chamber wherein the surplus
of one month is made to supply the
deficiency of another.
Modern knowledge ami appliances
have reduced tho business to :m exact
science. Kvery part of tho unlmul Is
put to tho best possible use and noth
ing is wasted. Besides tho different
cuts and cures of beef, mutton and
pork including tallow, stearme and
lard, every other portion of the dlt
tnenl animals has its use, Horns
and hoofs are made into tortoise shell
combs, buttons and other ornaments.
Frem the bones of tho fret, ncatsfoot
oil is extracted. Hair and tho finer
bristles are worked Into upholstering
materials and the dllfeient kinds of
felting. This is an extensive Hue of
manufacture which eompiises many in
teresting and complicated processes In
making the different grades. Cartil
aginous substances are made Into gela
tine and the bones aio steamed to ex
ttact tho slue, after which process
they nie ground info meal for chicken
foods and lerliliziiig purposes, ltlooil
Is used In a variety of ways but is
principally valuable for Us albumen
which Is extracted and the residue
made Into different kinds of animal
foods, The offal is dried In furnace1
especially constructed for tho purpose.
It is thou mixed with certain mineral
constituents and ground Into a powder
vthlch is used for fertilizing put poses,
the composition depending upon the
kind of .oil on which It is iuteiulid
to be used. Ilrlstlcs are made into
eveiy vaiiety of brush known to the
tr.ido from the finest lint brush to the
course heavy polishing hiushcsj ued
for smoothing and cleaning lough .ur
fdces, Wool u ml skins me too well knou
to require mention, hut grease is con
verted Into a great many useful pro
ducts, the source of which Is not so
well known. Kvery cutting or particle
that has m clas&lllcntlon is carefully
gathered up and put In the tendering
tank, where it is steamed under pres
sure, to nxttaet the fat. At tor tho
grease Is run off, the water, which is
called tankage, Is treated to recover thu
glycerine and ammonia. Soap Is made
by combining tho greaso with caustic
soda, soda silicate, robin, salt and soda
ash. This Is done In an open tank If It
Is u boiled soap. The soap rifees to the
top and Is run oft' into small vats, railed
frames. The liquid temalning lit the
tank or kettle Is called nlger, which is
drawn off nnd condensed In a vacuum
tank to recover tho salt and glycerine,
Tt will thus be seen that the hy-pio-
duets from our meat supply moke a
great, deal of work nnd aru tho dhect
source of the prollts of the business.

THE AMES MONUMENT.
How it Western Squatter Got the
Better of the Union Pacific.
I'iOiii the Satuirlay Uunlr.fr 1'oU.
High up on the Laramie range there
Is a little station called tfhoman a
mere watering place for tralnn on the
Union Pacific railway. Near by It In
a gigantic pyramid of stone, sixty feet
high and sixty feet square nt tho
base, which wa3 set up by tho rail
way as a monument to oaken Amea
ami Oliver Ames.
In the later eighties there arrived nt
Sherman a shabby person of melan
choly aspect, who put up u "shack"
wo'tern for shanty not fur from tho
monument. Ostensibly, ho was pros
pecting, nnd he continued to prospect
for three years without accomplish
ing any icsults, so far as could bo ob
served. At the end of tlml period the
management of the Union PaclHc re
ceived fioin him a communication de
manding the Immediate removal of the
monument trom the premises, which he
claimed ns his under the Homestead
1'IW.
The matter was regarded in a hu
morous light at first, but subsequent
proceeding!? developed the fact that the
squatter bail what the lawyers call u
"case."
Tho stianger, It seems, had located
on a section of land which did not
belong to the fnloti Paclllc the same
seel ion on which the monument had.
by mi Inadvertence, been placed. Ho
knew very well what he was about,
nnd the upshot of the affair was Ithat
the railway had to pay S",,000 for the
squatter's trad. In order to make Its
title good.
The monument, by the way, Is dis
tant only about one hundred yards
from the station, and 11 Is a favoilto
tiiek of experienced persons to Induce
green travelers to attempt a run to tho
pytamid nnd back during the two
minutes of the trains' wait. In nine
cases out of ten they fall on the way
back, bleeding at the nose, the air be
ing so r.nefled at that elevation ot
S.StiO feet as to forbid such exercise.
