The Gerald--Review. STOP MEAT By E. C. KILEY. GRAND RAPIDS, - MINNESOTA. It’s a woman’s privilege to change her mind, even when she promises to obey. The grip germ has made its annual reappearance and is playing to big business, It is simply wasting a man like Mr. Wu to take him back to China and held him there. It appears probable that President Castro will have to do it all over again. So tiresome! It is difficult to persuade yourself that a man is a liar when he says uice things about you. There is nothing small about Mon- tana, where a man is accused of of- fering a bribe of $2.500,000. Religious conditions in Chicago must be peculiar when a clergyman’s mind turns to the invention of a bullet-proof vest. Sir Thomas Lipton is going to shorten the Shamrock. She will be short enough at the conclusion of the race. The Women’s Federation at Toledo discussed the ideal woman. Can’t tell you anything about it until the model arrives. New Jersey should change her coat of arms and should adopt as the cen- terpiece of her new one an octopus couchant. Mary MacLane received 100 offers of marriage while she was in the East. No wonder Mary thinks the East is “a crazy old place.” Col. Taylor of Chicago has fallen heir to a castle in Germany. He will find that it costs more to maintain it than a castle in Spain. President Eliot of Harvard says gambling is a vice of savages. The gentlemanly Fiji islanders in Wall street will please take notice. A lot of Swiss bicyclists are coming to the United States through the Ca- nadian border. The whole people will now have a chance to do some maneu- vering. One magazine has received 40,000 ansolicited manuscripts within the year. Of course, the burden of re- turn postage fell on unappreciated genius. Hall Caine has no complaints to en? ter against the sleeping car system in this country. It is averred that he Langs up his hat and turns in with his clothes on. Mexico has lost its case before the Hague tribunal, but it should feel some satisfaction in making the suc- cessful claimant take so large a sum in Mexican dollars. California will produce 100,000,000 pounds of prunes this year, which is a tip to married folks not to break up housekeeping. Wait until the season when the crop fails. A Syracuse gentleman named O'Connor is accused by a widow of be- ing engaged to both herself and her mother; that’s one way to solve the mother-in-law problem. Mrs. Burton Harrison advises wo- men to talk politics in the family circle. But Mrs. Harrison should un- derstand that there are times when the masculine worm will turn. Just stand in the middle of. Main street and holler “Carrie Nation!” Then listen to the rapid slamming of saloon doors the full length of the street.—Hous‘on (Texas) Post. A staff of enumerators in New Jer- sey is asking each family in Essex county: “Have you a Bible of your own?” ‘The question should be added: “If so, do you know where it is?” Mascagni is learning a lot of new things concerning the advertising methods of American managers. His artistic soul might rebel if it were not for the handsome profits that are ac- eruing. Rey. Benjamin De Costa of New Yerk, who is reported to have describ- ed Newport as a cakewalk ornament: e4 with divorce, has evidently studied the literary style of the inimitable Mr. ‘Watterson. The coal operators insisted that there was nothing to arbitrate, and _ the President responded on behalf of the people that there was also noth- ing to burn, With the one supplied the other will follow. Inasmuch as a corruption fund of £20,000 for use in the city council has been discovered in Havana there ap- pears to be some mistake in the re- ports that the Cubans are not fitted to conduct a modern, up-to-date gov- ernment, There is something in a name. Colo nel P. B. Hogshead of Staunton, was the Virginia delegate at the meeting ot the National Liquor Dealers’ asso- ciation at Washington. Mr. Tank was not present by name, but he was well represented, GOVERNMENT IS READY TO PRE- VENT THE COMBINE OF PACKERS. FIRST MOVE WILL BE BLOCKED WILL GO INTO COURT WITH PROCEEDINGS FOR CON- TEMPT. , COVERED BY RESTRAINING ORDER PACKERS EFFECTUALLY RE- STRAINED BY CHICAGO IN- JUNCTION. Washington, Nov. 19. — The beef trust will find the government ready to meet it whenever the evidence is presented that the packers have formed a combination under one cor- poration. The reports that have come from Chicago from time to time re- garding the intention of the packers to organize on the same basis as the steel trust has prompted the department of justice to make an investigation and be prepared to act without delay when- ever the papers of the new corporation are filed. It is not the intention of the depart- ment to proceed against the beef trust under the Sherman law to show that/the trust is illegal, but to simply go into court with proceedings for con- tempt and show that the parties to the organization are in contempt of the United States circuit court for the Northern district of Mlinois and its injunctions against the packers grant- ed last May. This plan has been considered by the attorney general and his assistants and they regard it as an effective barrier to any further proceedings for combination of the packers in re- straint of trade or competition. The proceedings against the beef trust last spring seems to Prohibit the Packers from entering into an unlawful agree- ment and ‘conspiracy to destroy all competition in the purchase of the live stock and in the sale of dressed | meats. Many specifications were pre- sented, showing the means by which the packers had violated the law and destroyed competition in their busi- ness. The government asked that the packers be enjoined from further con- tinuance of these various practices, and the packers making no answer to that petition, a temporary restraining order was granted by Judge Grosscup enjoining each and all of the defend- ants from continuing to carry out the | unlawful agreements and conspiracy charged in the petitions. It is‘held by the department of justice that this in- junction, granted by the United States circuit court in Chicago, is binding, and prevents not only the packers from making unlawful agreements, such as complained of in the petition, but that it also restrains them from attempting to organize in a legal way to carry out all or any of their old agreements. The department is, therefore ready to proceed against the packers as in contempt of court and in violation of the restraining order whenever they organize a new corporation. MINISTER WU STARTS FOR CHINA Will Take Up New Duties Assigned to Him.

Affairs. London, Nov. 19—The South African gold share market was thrown into a state of demoralization yesterday after- noon in consequence of a statement by J. B. Robinson, chairman of the Rob- inson South African bank, that the state of business was such as to in- duce the directors to recommend a re- duction of the bank’s capital by $16,- 000,000. The inference at once drawn was that if the Robinson bank could not see its way to the profitable em- ployment of $15,000,000 in the Trans- vaal, Robison and. his colleagues must entertain a poor opinion of the Rand as a field for bankimg, and that matters must be in a bad way if a business, which was well paying a few years ago, had ceased to be so, in spite of the fact that the country is now enjoying the blessings of British rule. IN FEAR OF LA SOUFRIERE. Prospects for Inhabitants of St. Vin- cent Blacker Than Ever. London, Nov. 19.—The governor of the Windward islands has sent a dis- patch to Colonial Secretary Chamber- lain in which he says the prospects of the inhabitants of the island of St. Vincent are blacker than they have ever been. He believes that Georgte- town will have to be abandoned, whe it is doubtful if any part of the islany is out of the range of danger of La Soufriere, which he describes as the “terrirble volcano.” The dispatch adds that the southeastern end of the island, to which the inhabitants of the district around La Soufriere have fled in the hope of safety, is badly off for water, and “if the people are crowded there they will not be able to exist. No term can be fixed to the action of the mountain, and the people cannot ‘go on like this indefinitely.” . REBELS MAY GIYE UP. Herrera, Colombian Revolutionist, Asks Casey for Transportation.

DIDN’T INTEND TO KILL THE WOMAN BUT WAS ANGERED BEYOND CON- TROL BY ABUSE HEAPED ON HER. Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 19.—Mrs. Lulu Miller Youngs, wife of Former City Purchasing Agent Frank E. Youngs, murdered Florence K. MacFarlan, twenty-one years old, daughter of James MacFarlane, a traveling sales- man, at 543 Court street yesterday, af- ter a struggle in the house, the victim fleeing before her assailant, who stabbed her in the breast and arms, the fatal thrust penetrating the wo- ‘man’s heart. Jealousy was the cause. Within two hours after the murder was committed the police arrested the woman accused of the crime at the home of her father, and it is stated that she has made a complete confes- sion to the police. To her parents Mrs. Youngs confessed the crime, put declared she did not know how badly the victim was injured. Her intention, she cried, was not to kill, but to maim. Mrs. Youngs was calm and collected when placed under arrest. She would not make a statement. Her father said: “My daughter was married to Youngs about two years ago. They Have Not Lived Happily. He has been running around with this woman for some time, and my daugh- ter has been heartbroken over his ac- tions. She has pleaded with him to no avail, and then she thought, I sup- pose, the only way to end the matter was to attack this woman who came between them. She told her mother and her sister at the house that she went to this girl’s residence and stabbed her, but she did not know that she had killed her. She told us that the girl took her into the parlor and that while there, Lulu, my daughter, upbraided her for her actions. “The woman did not deny my daugh- ter’s accusations, she says, but, in- stead, began to abuse and berate her. Lulu pulled out the knife and stabbed her. I don’t think she went there to kill her, and if the other woman had not insulted my daughter I do not think this crime would have been com- mitted.” - It is said that Youngs had a quarrel with his wife Monday night and that he threatened to kill her. _ MITCHELL STILL ON STAND. Submits to Another Day of Cross-Ex- amination. Scranton, Pa., Nov. 19. — President Mitchell, for the fourth successive day, occupied ‘the witness stand during the two sessions of the strike commission and was cross-examined by three at- torneys for as many coal companies. While a considerable’ amount of in- formation for the enlightenment of the commissioners was brought out, the day was a rather quiet one, compared ith those which have precedcd it. The arbitrators are growing restless in consequence of the long cross-exam- ination, which apparently does not bring out the facts as quickly as the commission would like to have them presented. Several times during the course, of yesterday’s session Chair- man Gray reminded the attorneys of the value of time and suggested that cross-examination be limited to new features of those questions that have already been gone aver. The lawyers assured the commission that they, too, were anxious to expedite matters, and would do everything possible to hurry matters along without injuring their own case. Mr. Mitchell has been on the stand since last Friday morning, and is showing signs of weariness from the strain of four days’ cross- examination. The recognition of the union is looked upon as the most im- portant question before the commis- sion, and it is quite evident from the trend of the proceedings thus far that the companics will oppose it to their utmost ability.

Advices have been received from Canton to the effect that the Kawangsi rebels have captured the prefecturat city of Szenfu and also several dis- trict cities in the same prefeciure. A number of the officials of captured cities either committed suicide or were Killed by the Rebels, while some succeeded in escaping. It is stated on good authority that the rebels recently received a large amount of provisions, magazine rifles and ammunition, which caused the re- bellion, dormant for some months, to be renewed. Two battalions of iroops raised in Hanan have reached Canton and been loaded in fourteen junks to be towed to Wuchou en route to fight the rebels. From Szechuan news was received that Gen. Ting has defeated the Box- ers. The imperial forces under Gen. Ting captured the Boxer fortress at Yang Tao Chi, between Horcou and Tai Hoo Hen, and killed or captured the greater number, only 200.
