5VS T7all Was Sot Afraid to Fata McCarthy The
Levy and Kelly Controversy.
If the Association magnates are to be be
Jieved the people interested in the National
League are a very dcpraTed lot, and the
litter organization has seen its day of use
fulness. The magnates referred to have
held their annual meeting during the week,
led they not only have declared themselves
es above, but have endeavored to give the
world to understand that the American As
sociation is the only baseball organization
in existence. While nobody will believe
tl.at declaration, doubtless some people will
really think the Association, judging from
its annual meeting, is now a greater power
than it ever was. It may be this, and still
be of comparatively small importance, be
csne for years it has been of very minor
dimensions and influences. But before dis
cussing the Association's meeting it will bo
veil to point out that a false importance is
being given to the Americas Association
at present by the way in which it is being
pufied up by enemies of the League.
Numerous baseball writers whose only
Trish is that the League and those connected
itli it were sent to oblivion are daily ex
tolling the Association and giving to it a
yrestige that does certainly not belong it.
This is being done merely to obscure the
National League as much as possible and as
a result many people are led to believe that
the American Association is a very power
ful and significant baseball association. I
sito wib to point out another fact. Not
very long ago these same rabid advocates of
the Association were upholding the late
Players' League and then they were de
bouncing the American Association as a
very puny and impotent organization.
The F. L. has failed and now these persons
ere glad to support anything at all in oppo
sition to the National League.
The Association fleeting
The Association magnates at their meet
ing labored hard to impress the public with
one statement, viz.: that their clubs
ere all in good financial condition.
It is hard to reconcile this state
ment considering that almost every
club in the Association has lost money dur
ing the season, and even now some of them
Ere in financial difficulties. I don't believe
the Association is one whit better to-day,
financially, than it ever was. The Associa
tion leaders also tried to give the publio to
understand that their meeting was ex
tremely harmonious. It was not, as there
was some strong opposition to the admission
o! a Chicago club into the organization.
Bat the amusing feature cf the meeting was
tie annual report of President Phelps. He,
by the way, has had a strange career as a
baseball magnate. In his report he actually
rammded his fellow baseball wreckers that
they should be thankiul that they were on
n higher moral plane than the League. He
pointed out that crooked work had charac
terize the closing 'of the League season
at the immaculate Association was
irom that depravity. Alter an out
t of that kind don't "talk tome about
o nerve of Mr. Phelps. The parts of the
ro organizations are too well known for
Mr. Phelps to give false impressions con
cerning them.
But his reference to the matter of crooked
cames came with very bad grace, as nobody
jcoows better than himselfthat there is not
a particle of truth in any charge that mav
have been made, and that there is not the
least reasonable ground for suspicion. Mr.
Phelps' reference to crookedness was not
made in the interest of the game; it was
simply made to drag the League into as
much disrespect as possible. Prompted bv
& spirit of this kind, Mr. Phelps was quite
indifferent as to whether or not there was
aav truth about crookedness orjiot. He
only wanted to have the public believe that
crookedness was connected with the League.
The General Prospects.
The recent meeting of the Association
brings to the Eurface very prominently the
Bucetion: What about the future men?
Judging from things as we can Eee them on
the surface, there is not much prospect of a
tettlemcnt between the contending parties.
But I am inclined to think efforts unob
served by the public are going on, and that
bomething will be done shortly. It is folly
for the Association magnates to persist in
their present course and constancy in folly
is certain ruin. All of them declare that
they want the trouble settled, and blame
the League for preventing a settlement.
Slut we can all remember what kind of a
jettlement the Association macnates wanted
not very long ago when an effort was made
to adjust matters. Whv. thev simnlv
wanted everything. If they are not dis
posed to modify their demands in fact,
change them entirely I feel certain that
ao peace will be made, and in that event I
have no lear of the League. During
the week one plan of settlement has been
fuggested and President O'Neil, of the
ioeai club, and Mr. Ramie, of the Athletics,
think well of it. The plan 'is to allow the
Association to locate a club in Chicago, also
cue in Brooklyn, and transfer the League
ciob roro Brooklyn to Baltimore.
This plan seems to be a fair one and
wocld no doubt be a benefit to both organi
lotiors. Ch?cago is big enough to support
t-ro clubs if they are worthy ot support at
til, and In my estimation Brooklyn nat not
fcscn a success ns a League city. Ex-Manager
Hanlon is inclined to think that it
would be better lor the League and for
Brooklyn, if the latter remains in the
League. But whether or not the plan of
settlement is caopiea. i tninK it will be
discuss'd. If the prestige of the game is to
maintained, a national agreement must be
adopted as coon as possible. Without one
there is no hope for either organization.
Good for the Players.
An old adage says; "It's an ill wind that
blows nobody good," and by this we are re
minded that while the trouble between the
League and the Association magnates may
be running baseball prospects, the plavcrs
In the meantime are reaping the benefit.
Beth organizations want the best players
&ad the com petition will enable the players
to raise their prices very highl A well
known and prominent pitcher, not of the
local club, said t me the other day: "This
trouble among the magnates just suits me,
u I have two or three oilers now. I will
wait awhile and then I think I'll go where
there is most money, providing I am
hatisfied that money is safe. I am in the
business for the money there is in it and I
do not intend to stick to the League if I can
better my financial prospects by leaving it."
This very frank statement is a sample of
tl'e general feeling among ball players.
Bat I find there is u general desire among
players to play in the League and those
vbo.nre in the Association when avscttle
iceut of the trouble fsmadenust, I suppose,
remain there. This is afact that plavers
luould not overlook. It is also worth while
rcnitmbering that while fancy salaries may
touuJ all very well at the time they arc
iigucd for they cannot last and somebody
will suffer as a result. The past has proven
that the players are invariably those who
are left.
Local Club AfiUlrs.
There is still a remarkable quietness in
local baseball circles. One by one the
players are leaving for home and, as far as I
know, none of them have definitely signed
for next year. The officials ot the club
claim that C3ch player is signed for three
years, but as Galvin remarked the other day
people will be fooled if they think his ion
tract will keep him two more years here at a
salary similar to that which he received
last season. What the directors should do
under the circumstances is to get tosether
and appoint the president to go to work at
once and sign all the players who are
wanted. These players to be will have to
be signed, and when so much pilfering and
free-booting is going on the sooner they are
signed the better.
I am not the only one who is urging this
point. Some very able people in other
cities are arguing in the same direction.
Beyond all it is time that the directors of
the local club should come to a common un
derstanding among themselves and have all
their differences healed. Let the past go and
brace up for the efforts of the future is
what they should do. Depend upon it, they
have lots'of work to do, and they ought to
get into a well organized condition to do it.
Snnol's Jfew Record.
Surely we have had a sensation during
the week; I mean a sensation of a decade.
Patrons of trotting and trotting horses have
been excited beyond measure and all
through Sunol trotting a mile in 2:0S A
remarkable performance indeed and a half
second quicker than the fastest record made
by Maud S. For some time past good
judges of horse flesh have been expecting
that the mark of Maud S would be rubbed
out. On several occasions horses have
come very near to Hand for months it has
been conceded that the record of the famous
mare was bound to go this year when such
flyers as Sunol, Allerton and Nancy Hanks
were trying to down it. Now that the re
cord has been lowered it is interesting to
know that the new mark has been made by a
mare owned by the same gentleman who
owns Maud S, who had the previous record.
But it is probable that an almost endless
controversy has been started by the per
formance of Sunol. She has made her mark
on a kite-shaped track, while the record of
Maud S. was made on the regulation track,
similar to that of Homewood track. It is
claimed that the new fashioned track is
much faster than the regulation track, and,
therefore, the record of Maud S. is abetter
one than that of Sunol. With due deference
to those who argue in this strain, I still
hold Sunol has trotted a mile, on a level
track, in2:0S, this being the quickest time
on record. That there have been improve
ments in the way of producing speed since
Maud S. made her mark is to .the disad
vantage of that famous mare as far as hold
ing her record is concerned, and it is corre
spondingly to the advantage of Sunol. If
we are to discard or reject records because
some improvement, mechanical or other
wise, has contributed toward these records,
why we'll make no progress at all. The
new aquatic records of to-day will not be tol
erated as against the old because the new
one have ben made in improved boats.
The same may be said of bicycle records and
in fact dozens of other things. I, therefore,
fail to sce'why the record of Sunol should
not be the accepted one.
But I will not b2 surprised if even her
record is lowered before this vear is out.
She may do it herself, indeed, Charles Mar
vin, her driver, says that he thinks she
will lower her record this year if everything
is favorable when she makes her effort.
And Nancy Hanks may do it if she rounds
to again. It is a great pity that Nancy has
gone out of condition just at a time when
she is most needed. I am disposed to think
that if she had remained all right she would
have given us a sensation just as good as
that of Sunol or Direct, who has lowered
the colors of Hal Pointer.
Fatronage of Football.
During the week I have received one or
two letters from football enthusiasts point
ing out that the football games in and about
Pittsburg are not being patronized as much
as they should be. Wliile I regret that
such is :he case, Ifail to see what I have to
do with it except tell the public of the fact
One correspondent points out that some of
the best Association games ever seen in
Pittsburg are being played, and I am in
clined to believe Turn. Association foot
ball, when well played, is worth looking at,
because it is kicking the ball and kicking it
in the most dexterious way. We have some
good kickers in and about Pittsburg, and I
venture to say that if next Saturday is a
fine dav there will be a splendid game at
Exposition Park on that day. The Pitts
burg and McDonald teams meet, and I
anticipate a great contest, indeed, certainly
one that nil lov ers of football ought to see.
While I am talking football I may say a
word or two about the Eugby game. The
Kugby players have gotten into line, and it
is to be expected that we'll have lots of
Kugby games before the season is ended.
Of course, wo all like to see the fun and
fighting of a Eugby contest, particularly
when two good and powerful teams are
contending. I think we'll have some good
teams here this season, and,Decause of this I
trust that our team will be all that we are
told they will be. If they get a good team
and a victorious one all will be well
Among the Pugilists.
Peter Maher declines to meet Jake Kil
rain because the latter is not class enough.
Poor Kilrain. Surely Jake's glory has de
parted since the days he was looked upon as
the man who would "do up" Sullivan. But
what about Maher, or at least his manager,
Billy Madden? Their refusal to meet Kil
rain for a purse of $5,000 is proof that they
are not caring about fighting at all. They
want money. Noise, bluster and big pre
tensions will advertise Maher, and he will
secure engagements. Maher is in the hands
of a man vt ho has gulled the publio many a
time before. It is simply nonsense for any
body to talk about Maher fighting Slavin or
Sullivan, and I am inclined to think that
the first tolerably good man be meets he
(Maher) will come off second best
There has little or nothing been doing
among the leading heavy-weights. Sulli
van is expected to return in the carlv part
of next month and then we'll have" some
talking, as Slavin and Mitchell are also
expected in the country about the same
time. If ever Slavin aud Sullivan are-in
this country together I anticipate a match
definitety made between them. An extra
ordinary purse will soon be offered for a
contest between these gladiators, and it
will bo one of the most important battles of
many years. But I don't think that Slavin
will be willing to fight only a limited num
ber of rounds. Sullivan wanted this condi
tion before he left for Australia, but he
will, I think, change his mind.
And if Mitchell comes here Corbett will
certainly get an engagement with either
him or Slavin. I have an idea that many
people are wearied about Corbett by this
time; I mean wearied ot waiting until ho
shows us whether or not he is really a first
rater. I would like to see him do this.
Toff Wall's Latest.
During the week there has been lots said
about Toff Wall's. refusaL, to meet Billy
McCarthy. Ab a result Wall has by a large
number of people been deemed a coward.
I don't believe he is. I know he is not a
stajer, but I "cannot believe that a man of
Wall's cleverness would shirk to meet a
man like McCarthy if all was right If
Wall was in good condition and the finances
were all right, I feel sure that he would
meet McCarthy, and defeat him, too, quite
handily. Why, if Wall was just in
as tine a form as he was when he
bested "Chesterfield" Goode, McCarthy
would "not be in it" But Wall
may have "gone to the bad." I think he
has because for a long time past he has been
on the road and that in a measure would ex
plain why he declined to meet McCarthy.
I ma- also point out that fear of meeting
good fighters never kept Wall from America.
He was always terrified of the sea and last
year he told me that all the money in
America could not induce him to undergo a
journev of seven or eight days on the sea.
Toff Wall has his defects as a pugilist but I
decline to believe' that he was afraid to face
McCarthy.
Activity Anions the Little Ones.
All of a sudden the feather-weights,
bantams, eta, have become awfully active.
Strong efforts have been made to arrange a
match between "Spider" Kelly and Levy,
the little Englishmen. Backers of the two
"bantams" met but Kelly's demands wero
so very unfair that nothing definito was
done. As a result the Eastern sporting
writers have given Kellv quite a "roast"
But the pair are still talking fight and it is
likely that they will be matched as there is
only "a small difference now between their
terms. That Levy is a clever little fellow I
have no doubt, but somehow or other English
pugilists nowadays of all sizes make very
little success in "this country. If Levy
meets Kelly the former will have to be a
very good man to win.
The light weights are doing nothingof
note. Carroll and Myer are in active train
ing for their contest, and Jack McAuliffe
thinks when it is over we'll hear very little
about Myer. Austin Gibbons has changed
his mind about going to England and will
remain in this country dnring the winter.
I would not be surprised ifJGibbons and
Jimmy Carroll should meet inhe ring, pro
viding Car oil defeats Myer. If Carroll
was to prove the victor against Myer, Gib
bons could not very well decline to chal
lenge him in view ot the fact that he, Gib
bons, is still wanting to fight any light
weight in the world. Speakirjg of Gibbons
reminds me that McAuliffe has not received
his stake money yet for defeating Gibbons.
McAuliffe wisely declines to have anything
to do with Gibbons until that money is
paid. Pringle.

Sunday, July 12, as a short train o'f flat

a large moose was discovered near the track.

on Sunday, the engineer had a clear field,
and determined to show the moose how to
run. The iron horse snorted and bounded
along over his track of steel, while all on
board intently watched the race. It was a

The moose's gait was an indescribable
trot, such as onlv the moose can exhibit;
his hind feet fanning his ears, his tongue
hanging from his mouth, every muscle in
his body moving, while his paces were ap

still the frightened moose trotted in the

GOIKQ OTTO EXILE.
Two Brothers Will Take Cp Their Abode
on an Uninhabited Isle.
Pall Mall BndEet.J
A lonely and hitherto uninhabited island
off the north coast of Cornwall is shortly to
become the abode of a gentleman whose
only companion in his seclusion will be his
brother. The island is only 250 yards long
nd 00 broad, and is about two miles off the
mainland. It is locally known as the'-Gul-land,"
from it being the habitat of large
numbers of sea-gulls, and is the proper y of

fury of the Atlantic gales and tremendous
ground seas, it is only in'very exceptionally
fine weather that a safe landing can be
effected on it.
The young gentleman who has decided to
become'somewnat of a recluse is a son of the
late General Smyth, Commander of the
Western District, and it was only very re
ccntlvwhen sailing by "Gulland" in his

that he would take up bis residence there.
He has obtained 21 years' lease on reason

As soon as the parts of the house arefitted

Boston ttcrald.3
The most costly of all the Berlin railway
stations is the Anhalter station, said to
have cost 54,000,000. One' can hardly credit
the statement, as the trainhouse contains
only six tracks. Most of the money was
spent on the front building. It is sim
ply a palace. Kone of our publio buildings
in Washington has an entrance hall which
is at aU comparable to the great vestibule
and staircases of this building. Even the
great railway stations of London are com
pletely surpassed by the Antialter station,
which is the terminus for trains running to
Erfurt, Magdeburg, Carlsbad, Halle, Cassel,
Franklurt-on-the-Main, and many other
noints.
At this station, as at the Potsdam station,
small trunks and all minor luggage belong

the main floor of the station by the porters.
The heavier luggage is taken up by the

first and second class passengers being care-
fullv separated from the third and fourth.

UHCLE SAH'S FIRST STAMPS.
One Bore, tho Portrait of Franklin,

Other of Washington.
Boston Herald.
Tho first stamps issued were the denomin
ations of 5 and 10 cents. These stamps are
now obsolete, and they would not be recog
nized by the postoffices. The 5-cent stamp
contained a portrait of Franklin, made alter
a painting by John B. Longacre, in which
the first Postmaster General is represented
wearing a white neckerchief and a coat with
a lur collar. The color of the stamp is a
light brown, and there is a border of fine
straight lines around the entire stamp.
The 10-cent stamp contained a portrait of
Washington, made from Stuart's painting.
Its color was black, and it had in the upper
corners the letters "U. S." These two
stamps were all that were used until 1851,
when letter postage was reduced to 3 crnts,
aud a new series of stamps came in.

This is tha Kev. T. DeWitt Talmage. To
many, he is sincere, godly and genuine. To
others, he appears false, sacriligcous and a
humbug, If the former, he is a most won
derful apostle; if the latter, he is certainly
a most successful humbug and in either case
he is by far, the most interesting character
in the American pulpit to day. I called
upon him at his home in Brooklyn tho
other day. He lives in a big four story,
brown stone house on the corner of Sonth
Oxford and Calvert streets, Brooklyn. It
is in a good neighborhood and the house is,
perhaps, the finest in the block. Passing
up broad, brown stone steps, you enter a
wide hall, the floor of which is porcelain-
tiled in blue and yellow.

time he made the tour through the Holy
Land, and there are swords from Cairo,
tables from Constantinople, rare busts from
Italy and articles of vertu and curios from
all parts of the world. On one wall there
is a banner of silk which a Chinese mission
ary sent to Dr. Talmatre, and on a stand
below itiis a piece of elegant old lacquer
from Japan. There are baskets from Alaska,
pieces of stone from Acropolis, sand from
the base of the Pyramids, a chunk of stone
from Baalbec, and pretty things from every
where. Every article Beems to have a

Dr. Talmage is besieged with callers, ana
though he received almost everyone, he has
to guard his privacy. His workshop is at
the top of the house. It is a big room fur
nished in the plainest manner and packed
full of books. There are books on the
tables, in the cases and on the floor.
HIS PHYSICAL CHABACXEKISTICS.
Dr. Talmage will be 60 years old in Jan
uary next, but his hair is still brown, his
dark, rosy face shows that his blood is full
of iron, and he says he can eat three square
meals every day and enjoy them. He is a
big man ana a strong one. He is, I judge,
aboutSieet 11, and he weighs about 370
pounds. His broad shoulders have a slight
stoop, but they are well padded with mus
cular flesh, and his arms look as though
they could wield an ax as well as Glad
stone's. He was dressed in plain business
clothes, and I noted, as an hour or so later
we walked t ward the Tabernacle, that the
hat that he wore was a derby, and its num
ber, I judge, was 8 Dr. Talmage con
verses as well as he preaches. His talk with
me was full of bright sayings. It was per
fectly unconventional and simple, and cov
ered a great variety of subjects. .
Referring to the Hebrew troubles In
Russia, I asked him if he did not thiuk that
the Hebrews would eventually drift back
to Palestine. He replied: "I don't think
the prosperous Hebrews of America or
Europe ought to go back to Palestine. The
land offers no held lor their undoubted
ability, and they would be surrounded by
discomtort and misery. The future of
Palestine, it seems to me, is
not destined to come from the He
brew. It is a field for the work
of a 1 nations, I believe it will become a
garden again. God's favorite figure is the
circle, and Palestine is moving in a circle
back to its old beauties. Jerusalem has
grown rapidly during the past lew years,
and it is already lulfiliingtthe saying ot the
Prophet, that it will spread out beyond the
walls and will cover even the place of the
ashes. It wUl be a great city."
DID NOT ATTEMPT TO BUY CALTAET.
"How about Calvary, and that story that
you attempted to buy it ot the Turks?"
"There is no truth in that," replied Dr.
Talmage. "The very idea would be absurd.

to loreigners, and there isNa Mohammetan

HIS LITERARY PRODUCTIONS.
"I have been writing for years and tho

were counting up the other day the books
that have been published over my name as

another."
"Dr. Talmage," said I, "you have been
called a money-making preacher. Do yon
think the making of money is incompatible
with your profession?"
"If the making(of money were the chief
end of the profession, I would say yes," re
plied Dr. Talmage. "And if it were not
entirely subordinate and apart from it, I
would also say yes. But when the making
of money comes entirely from work that
does not conflict with the duties of the pul
pit, and that in fact aids on the work of the
profession, I would say no. During my
whole life I have made my preaching and
my church the supreme end of my work. I
have never made a dollar at the expense of
my congregational labors, and I have never
tried to make money' for money's sake. The
opportunities and the work have been forced
upon me.
"If I would, I could, I believe, have such
engagements as would net me 51,000 a dav
jthe year through, and I have now laying on
my study table an offur of $150,000 for a
series of lectures. I never lecture for less
than 5500 or 51,000 a night, and the latter is
mv regular price for the larger cities.
When I charged 51,000 for going to Chicago
not long ago to lecture, the fact was made" a
subjectjoi comment by some of the news
papers. But I did not ask Chicago to call
me to lecture, and the receipts were, I un
derstand, 53,000 in excess of the amount
paid rae.
"How about religion and free thought,
Doctor," said I. "The churches seem to be
proving more liberal each year. Infidelity
is growing in all religions the world over
ana the tendency Eeems to be the breaking
down i fall faith."
"You are right in saving that the churches
are becoming more liberal," replied Dr.
Talmage. "We are getting closer and
closer together every year, and religion is
becoming more and more a religion of sym
pathy and kindness. We have thousands
of real Christians who now hardly know
they are Christians. They cannot fie called
intellectual Christians, and the purely in
tellectual Christian, the Christian of reason
rather than faith, is of little account in the
world anyhow. He is an icebers and he is
of good neither to himself nor to anvone
else. You speak of the growing infidelity
among the believers of other religions the
worlcTover. The tendency of man when he
gives up theGod of his fathers is for a time
to believe in no God whatever, and it is
only alter a time that he comes around to
study and believe in another religion. I
believe that any religion is better than no
religion and I believe that the Christian
religion is destined to conquer the world.
Modern inventions are coming in to help
us. I believe the phonograph is going to be
our greatest preacher. When the manager
of the Board of Missions can say, 'Send 300
sermons to as many towns and cities of
Japan,' or, 'Send 500 lectures to out-of-the-way
places in China, and see that a
phonographic translation of that bright dis
course against Buddhism is sent out to
India,' you will see the possibilities."
ABOUT SENSATIONAL PBEACHISfO,
"Dr. Talmage, you have been accused of
being a sensational preacher. Do you be
lievc in sensational preaching?"
"If you call sensational preaching," re
plied the divine, "the stri vine after striking
effects merely to astonish the people or to-
create a stir, it is wrong. But it sensational
preaching is the sensation arising from the
presentatkinrf truth, it is right. Truth is
always suSirising, and rightly preached it
ought not to fail to create a sensation. The
opponents of such preaching are olten men
who are as heavy in their remarks as a load
of bricks. They are too lazy or too dull to
rise out of the commonplace and they often
vegetate or die of the dry rot You ask as
to pulpit oratory to-day. I believe that
our preachers arc improving in power as the
world goes on. Our seminaries turn out
better men every year, and they will this
year furnish the best crop of young men in
their history."

Interesting History of the Production of
the Sweet Crystals.
NAPOLEON'S PART IN THE PROGRESS
rconimsroNDrifcE op thb DtsrATCH.1
Kev Okleans, Oct. 23. "I don't know
anything about sugar, and I'm seeking
knowledge on the subject," I said, as a pre
caution, to a leading planter the other day.
"Well, if you don't know anything about
it, you know as much about it as the aver
age Louisiana planter," retorted the sugar
baron.
Looking the saccharine subject up, I find
that sugar is of comparatively recent dis
covery and manufacture, so far as a food is
concerned. Have you ever stopped to think
that the Bible doesn't mention sngar? It
speaks of "sweet cane from a far country,"
and of other sweets; of wild honey, and so
on, but this saccharine crystal was, unknown
even at the beginning of the Christian era;
at least to the peoples of the Western world.
The Bomtm and "the Greek peoples were
strangers to it In fact, they were strangers
to perhaps one-half of the articles of food
consumed at the present time every day by
the most humble citizen of America; and,
what is more, there was nothing to replace
thesefoods. Sugar was early known to the"
chemist, and was dispensed by the apothe
cary as medicine, but the civilized world
was compelled to wait until the aborigines
of the warmer climates were brought under
the yoke of the European before the crystal
lized saccharine substance found itsway onto
the tables of the Kings and potentates of
the Old World.
A LTJXUBY FOUB HTOTDEED TEAKS AGO.
Sngar cane was grown early in Arabia,
and as early as the fifth centruy there is a
record of sugar being made in a small quan
tity by boiling cane. As late as the fifteenth
century a dame of England wrote her lord
to bring some of that great delicacy, sugar,
and she asked for a whole pound. In, fact,
the fifteenth century had been well nigh
spent before sugar became much else than a
luxury to even the very rich. The cane was
brought to San Domingo and Brazil by the
Portuguese, and to Cuba by Velasquez
about 1512, and in 1627 its cultivation had
so greatly increased that it was exported
from Brazil to Europe. The Barbadocs soon
aiierwara Degan its cultivation.
Prom Cuba cane was introduced into
Louisiana in 1794 by Etienne de Bare, the
grandfather of Louisiana's historian, Charles
Gayarre, and the plantation on which it was
first grown and granulated was within the
present corporate limits of New Orleans, at
what is now known as the suburb, Carroll
ton. Cane sugar continued to be made in a
primitive way up and until less than half a
century ago, when an obscure Ohio farmer,
a man who every season as the spring ap-
E roach ed tapped the noble maple tree en
is little 80-acre farm, near the young city
of Mansfield, ahd boiled the juice into the
luscious maple syrup and the appetizing
and genuine maple sugar, the sweet of the
gods, discovered the process of evaporation.
AH OBSCTJBE OHIO ETVENTOB.
David McFarland Cook was, and is yet,
an inventiye genius in the broad field of
electricity. He early gave to the world the
first electric light, and then discovered the
principle of the incandescent light the
very light from which Brush, of Cleveland,
grew nch, and because of which the wizard,
Thomas A, Edison, became famous but
to-day, like many other pioneers in the
great highways ot the present age, he has
remained banging upon the ragged edge of
comparative poverty. As I said, Cook
sought to Jcrystallize maple sugar quicker
and with less heat than by means of the
common iron kettle, and hit upon the idea
ot a shallow pan with a series of ledges,
causing a continuous flow of the juice. I
don't care here to describe the process. It
is still in use in Cuba in remote sections,
and the Northern maple sugar boiler also
uses it to some extent. It was as nothing
compared to the worderful sugar house of
the present day, but it served its purpose
and came at the proper time.
The Blymyer, of Cincinnati, founded
their fortune oh the Cook evaporation, and
David McFarland Cook's share on royalty
was about 530,000. Yet he has grown to be
an old man without means, but with several
lortunes in electrical discoveries within his
grasp, f capital seeks 'him out and seizes
upon his storehouse of information.
NAPOLEON AND HOME INDUSTBIESI
To-day there is consumed in this world 50
per cent more sugar made from the beet than
from cane, and the world owes this fact to
the Corsican Emperor of the French, who
sought to produce in France, from French
soil and by French brawn and brain, every
article of food, raiment and shelter that
the French people required. In this par
ticular Napolean Bonaparte sought to ac
complish precisely the very thing that the
party of progress of the youngest nation on
the globe has been seeking since the begin
ning of the war that made men of all colors
equal before the law.
The sugar oeet came into notice m Europe
in the last decade of the sixteenth century,
and Olivier De Serres then wrote that "it
yielded a juice ''on boiling, similar to -sugar
syrup."- A few years laterseveral varieties
were known, nnd about the period of our
War for Independence the varieties were
many and varied; and although as early ns
1590 the saccharine matter in the beetVas
known ahd recorded, 175 years passed be
fore a German savant proved to the Acad
emy of Sciences of Berlin that sugar from
the beet was a practical commercial possi
bility; yet another hjlf century passed by
before Achard, a French refugee ,in Prus
sia, presented a sample of his beet sugar to
the Institute of France, declaring that a
good quality of muscovado could be pro
duced at not to exceed 6 cents a pound. His
statement was ridiculed by the' French
people, but French scientific bodies ap
pointed a committee to investigate and re
port on the subject,
SUGAR AT A DOLLAE A POT7NX&
Prior to that there had been unsuccessful
efforts to introduce the sugar cane and sngar
maple into France, and experiments bad
been made with the turnip, the carrot, pars
nip, chestnut, maize, and many other plants
with failure as the result. About this
period sugar sold in Europe at $1 a pound.
Finally, this French commission havmc ex
perimented with both cooked and uncooked
beets, produced a beet sugar from uncooked
beets at a cost of 18 cents a pound, and
among other things reported thus:
It is certain that the beet which grows In
France, and which may be recognized by its
white flesh traversed by red bands or rajs,
contains sugar as well as the tamo species
grown at Berlin, that Achard worked upon.
Experiments proceeded in France, Ger
many and" England, from this time until
1810, when the far-seeing Emperor of the
French people set apart, as a bounty to M.
Proust and Sieur Fouques, 20,000 and
53,000 respectively, for their then thought
valuable discovery in the production of
sugar from the grapel Napoleon also ap
pointed Proust chei i t and member of the
Legion of Honor. Grape sugar proved a
failure, but the Emperor persisted in his
efforts and issued a decree setting apart the
sum of 1,000,000 francs for the encourage
ment of the beet sugarand indigo industries.
In 1813, 7,700,000 pounds of sugar, about the
quantity that will this year be made from
cane at the McCall sugar house in St. James
Parish, Louisiana, was made at 334 French
factories at a cost of about 15 cents a pound.
This was probably one half of .the actual
need of the French nation at that time.
ENCOURAGED IN OERMAJTT AND RUSSIA.
Meantime the German people were as
actively engaged in the search for a simple
process of extracting and crystalizing the
saccharine matter, and the fiussian "Czar
made a subiect a gift of $38,895 for hia
1 activity in Spreading the industry and his
discoveries, and issued a ukase making frea
of taxation land used for the purpose.
During the season of 1889-90 the sugar
production of the world was as follows: f

THE PKOGEESS IK A2IEBICA.
Ko cane sugar of any consequence has
ever been produced in North America out
side the State of Louisiana, and not more
than one-sixth of the territory of that State
has ever been given over to this industry.
lieet sugars never became more than an ex
periment in the Western hemisphere until
about 1840. At that period its manufacture
was begun at Northampton, Mass., at
a cost of 11 cents a pound. It did
not survive. The manufacture was
tried in Illinois, in Wisconsin, in
California, with and without largo capital,
but the vicissitudes ot tho seasons, or poor
management, caused dismal lailure. In 1S70
and 1871, several of the States exempted
fiom taxation, for xed periods, the plants
of all who would engage in tne industry, and
the Canadian Government offeied a bounty
ot 1 cent a pound on beet sugar. Thus stim
ulated, the beet sugar industry has suddenly
sprung into vast importance in this conn try,
esp"Cially in the States of Nebraska nnd
California and the territory of Utah. This
fall there are eight successtul beet factories
in the TJn ted States, viz: three in Call
fornLi, one in Utah, two in Nebraska, one in
Virginia and one in Ppnnsylvania.
The California and Nebraska factories will
turn out about 8,t00,000 pounds of sugar. The
three factories in Clilornia may produco
10,000 000 to 12.0O0.C00 pounds, and the Utah
factory perhaps 6,000,000 to 8,000,0.0 pounds.
The factories in Virginia and Pennsylvania
are struggling to get on their feet, and are
yet experimental. So that tho beet sugar
product this year may reach 20,000,000
pounds.
MAKING ST7GAB OP SOBGHTTST.
At the three sorghum factories in Kansas
the outptat In September was about E00,C00
pounds. The Agricultural Department at
Washington has given the subject of sugar
from sorghum its profoundest and most
patient attention, and the Industry at pres
ent is growing into a paying success. Its
friends are many and enthusiastic, and per
haps the day Is not far distant when sor
ghum sugar will be as great a success as is
beet sugar. There are now sorghum factories
in operation under the sugar bounty law as
follows: Kansas, 3; .Missouri, 1; Hichigah, 1;
Minnesota, 1.
The Kansas factories will perhaps produce
from two to two and a-half million pounds
of sugar. They are located atTopeka, Fort
Scott and Medicine Lodge. The factories in
Missouri. Minnesota and Michigan will make
little over SCO pounds each, sufficient to
como within the law, and are more in the
nature of experiments. Thus it will easily
be argued, and confidently expected, that
the time is nearat hand when the American
cane and the Anierlcnn beet will supply the
American citizen with every pound of sugar
that he consumes. And I am not certain
but that the time is as nearat hand when
beet sugar will be the onlv susrar on the
market in this country. This will certainly
be the result unless the cane people are able
to produce sugar from cane at less expense
per pound, year after year, keeping pace
with the inventor In the sugar beet Held. In
refined sugars there can be detected no dif
ference in tho flavor of sorgham, beet or rib
bon cane sugars. In the raw state they
have flavors peculiar to the vegetable from
which they are produced, but this flavor Is
not nearly so pronounced as in the case of
maple sugar, whichby the way, is a luxury
and not a common article of food, as it was
years ago in certain sections of this country.
WTIEBE SUOAE BEETS 'WTLI, GBOW.

establishment of manufactories. It passes

Prof. Edwin J. Houston has made publio
the results of his investigations on the sub
ject of producing artificial rain. He states
that there are meteorological conditions that
probably frequently exist in certain lati
tudes in which heavy rains might be artifi
cially produced by midair disturbances,
when, without such disturbances, no rain
fall would occurr. Should, for example, a
layer of warm, moist air exist between tha
earth's surface and a higher layer of cold,
moist air, separated by a comparatively
fhinlayer of air, and should such conditions
exist as to maintain the two layers separate,
then the breaking or the piercing of the in
termediate separating layer might permit
such an uprush of the warmer air through
the opening, that the liberation of its stored
up energy through the condensation of its
moisture, would result in the production of
an extended area of low barometer. In
other words, the- artificial rupture of the
separating layer would result in the forma
tion of a true storm center, and a heavy
rainfall of considerable dimensions.
Prof. Houston formulates the following
conclusions concerning the artificial produc
tion of rain: First, that rain can never be
made to tall at will by midair explosions on
any port of the earth's surface, irrespectiv
of the climatic conditions there existing.
Second, that during certain meteorological
conditions midair explosions may result in
rainfall over extended areas. Third, that
the liberation of energy necessary for such
rainfalls is due not only to the midair ex
plo dons, but to the energy stored up in the
moist air, from which the rain is derived.
Fourth, that the meteorological conditions
which must exist for tha successful action
of midair explosions would probably, in
most, though not in all cases, themselves
result in a natural production ot rain.
Fifth, that a comparatively high difference
of electric potential between different parts
of the air, or between the air and the earth,
is possibly favorable, when taken in connec
tion with other meteorological conditions
for artificial rain making. Sixth, that an
undirected midair explosion is not as likelr
to produce rain as an explosion in which,
the main tendency .of the energy liberated
is to cause a general uprush of the air.
A "Sent Automatic Teapot.
Something of the picturesqueness of the
sight of a graceful and comely hostess serv
ing her guests with the cup of tea so much
beloved by the lady of fashion, is in danger
of being destroyed by a new device which
hails from England. This innovation is an
automatio teapot. The apparatus scarcely
differs in appearance from an ordinary tea
pot, save in the form of the spout, which
starts from the lower part of the pot, and is
curved above in order that the jet that
issues from it Shall be nearly vertical. Tha
cover of the teapot consists of a hollow cyl
inder forming a piston, and prov ded at the
top with a wooden or ivory knob containing
an aperture 5 or 0 mm. in diameter. In
order to get a cup of tea the cup is placed
under the nozzle, and the cover of the pot is
first raised and then thrust baclr into place,
and the liquid flows freely. The flow is at
once stopped by the lifting of the finger that
closes the aperture in the knob, as this re
moves the pressure exerted by the air upon
the liquid.
Future of Ship Bonding.
It has been predicted that Canada will
eventually control the ship building indus
try. This opinion is based on the extent of
the Canadian supply. Steel mixed with,
from 3 to S per cent of nickel is double tha
strength of ordinary steel, and does not
corrode or take on barnacles, $o that ships
constructed of it will never require scrap
ing. Moreover, as ships of nickel
steel may be safely bnilt much lighter than
ordinary steel ships, their engine power and
consumption of coal may be safely reduced
without diminution of speed. Nickel
steel seems thus bound to supersede
ordinary steel and probably many other '
materials in present use in ship construc
tion, and the nation which is in a position t
to produce this material stands in an ex-1
oeptional position for controlling the in-1
.dustry. Canada has the only known roll-,
able supply ot nickel. It can furnish
1,000,000 tons of nickel every year if need
be.
Sensitive Knee Drill.
A new knee drill promises to be of (pedal
service in certain industries. Where such
an appliance is required the work is placed
on a table or a block resting upon it, and.
the piece to be drilled is held by the opeiw
ator and the table is raised by means of the
knees to feed the work to the drilL This
construction leaves both hands of the oper
ator at liberty to handle the work, ana, at
the same time, permits a great degree of
sensitiveness, since the resistance can be
felt by the knees, and the upward pressure
regulated accordingly. It is claimed that at
least SO per cent more can be accomplished
by this drill in a given time than by any
other similar device, owing to the rapidity
with which the work can be adjusted ana
then performed.

aud carry it along without injury. As an
additional means of safety a scoop is placed
beneath the body of the car, so that should
a person fall in tha act of crossing tha
tracks he would pass under the first fender,
and on going under the car he would strike
a lever, which would release a powerful
spring and causa tha scoop to come down
