Jlivaling the most frightful chapter
of "The Jungle" was the letter given
out by Upton Sinclair before his de
arture for Princton to spend the week
end. Mr. Sinclaire explained it was
a personal communication to him,
Irom a man who for more than ten
years had been an employe in one of
the Beef Trust's notorious slaughter
houses. He asked that the name oe
suppressed, but vouched for the
facts, with the assurance that he had
seen them himself. The letter read:
"In reply to your letter of some
days ago I will try to give you some
of my experiences with regard to
some of the meats shipped from here.
"Junk" Meat
"I have seen hams and bacon leave
this plant; put up in canvas and
whitewashed, and with a United
States Government stamp on them,
that were putrid. We have on hand
at all times bacon, hams, dried beef,
tongues ard some smoked salt bel
lies, which we call innk. These are
kept in - a house for the purpose,
which is Known as the 'junk house.'
The meat that goes to this houie
is inspected by the company's inspec
tor tor tile, purpose of grade.
"All hams and hacon " and other
meats after being smoked and in
spected by the company's inspector,
being found sour or bruised, or with
tumors and sores, are called 'No. 2
Junk. This accumulates to the
amount of twenty-five to thirty thous
and pounds. Small shipments fre
quently are taken and added.
' "Some of this junk hangs there for
six or twelve months before being
shipped. Usually in the fall a large
order cleans it up, but some always
can be found on hand. These ship
ments generally go to Atlanta, Char
leston and Jacksonville, and from five
hundred to five thousand Government
' stamps on them as .'first class , meats.

being sixty days on the way

"The meat was partly eaten up by closed its years worn with its annual

was a crawling mess of them. The , Chinese theatricals, a banquet and un

'"I never saw such a sight in my
life when they were sacking (this
stuff. The skippers crawled about on
the table at will and the women who
had to sew up the meat could hardly
stand the odor.

"In the sausage department I have VVang Liang, a .young merchant en

with other meats, chopped up and put Kuang Yin Chow, a caristian China
into sausage. I have tried it on the; man from lne mission.. Jo Roberts

with black massick and oil of orange.
I am not much posted on what goes
on in the lard refining department,
but 'I know that caustic soda and
soapstone are used in lard compound.
"With regard to hogs, we see them
come in here with fever sores, and,
of course, these animals are in no
fit condition to kill; but, you see, it
costs something to feed them, so they
have to go right through.
Fake Inspection
"The Government inspection part is
all a fake, these fellows do not attend
to their business at all, as 1 under
stand it. There should be two of
these inspectors on the hog floor, yet
I have seen one of them fast asleep
in a chair, and the other, walking
about, paying little or no attention
to what tfce government requires.
Lots of hogs go by that they do not
notice, but if visitors are on the
scene they are at it and ah attention.
"I understand they have a certain
room where all condemned hogs are
kept, and that one man carries the
key. The inspectors do not keep
track of what is condemned. The
man who carries the key is here early
and looks after this condemned stuff,
and when the rest of the hog gang
is ready for work they find these
condemned hogs gone, nobody knows
where. I tried to find out but coulu
mako no headway.
Hogs With Cholera
"A hog butcher who works in the
gang told me this, and he says it is
a fact. I have had him on the watch
ouL but he says, most of the fellows
are afraid to talk! He tells me at
times that he, has worked on hogs
that have the cholera. He' says he
was raised on a stock farm and can
tell one, at first .-glance. ." He wants
me. o withhold his name, for he is
like the rest of us fellows, whp are
afraid o say much, for If the com
pany got wind of it he would have to

he Play
The scene was most gorgeously set
and the first round of applause came
when Tichelle Cohn entered as the
slave girl. She wore a costly cos
tume imported from California, and
was the prize beauty ot the show.
It only needed a few Johnnies wait
ing for her at the stage door to make
the illusion complete.
Miss Torreyson was the very heavy
villain, the stern parent, and Miss
Davis was the light comedian who
set the stern parent at defiance. Her
acting was as natural as if she had
practiced the parental defiance act
before.
Mrs. Berry was the bride about
whom swirled tne torrent of plot and
couftter plot, and Miss Roberts was
the lad who "copped" the matrimonial
prize and the dowry. ,
Lillian Swift slid in just in time
to make oif with the wealthy mer
chant and inherit his yen, and Deil
Barkley was the poor thing who
cried her eyes out and irrigated the
carpet with her tears when she saw
the man sne loved ou t of a five story
window, taken into camp by another
girl.
Incidental to the play was some de
licious vocal and inst. mental music,
and the strains of tne unmistaitable
Chinese orchestra (cut loose from
behind the scenes from a mammoth
phonograph) were very exnilerating.
The fan play, the by play, and the
show of pretty ankles was all that
the critical audience could desire.
Mrs. Davis and Miss Bray, who
handled the . scenery and curtains,
made several bad breaks, but these
were overlooked by an indulgent au
dience. After the applause and the encores
had. subsided, ; and every one there
had said, "it was simply great," "the
best , yet," and "Carson talent Is all
fight," and. were calling for more,
