ADuLTERATIoN OF SUGAR.
Within the past two years the papers of the
whole country have abounded with articles
which In effect charged the sugar reflners with
selling to the public adulterated or impure su-
CARS and syrups. The Sin particularly emphn-
| sized was the admixture of glucose, and chem
| lists. doctors and editors published opinions
| that the use Of such sugar WAS causing serious
| injury to the public health. This has called
out Il statement from some Of the leading su-
| gar reHners Of New York who say that at first
| they refused to sell their sugars for adultera-
| ton. but. since tho degraded article has daily
| grown In favor and Is freely purchased under
the new name of new process sugar" by re-
| spectacle dealers, they have yielded to an I'M
| Rvoidabe necessity. They say that the pres
| mt situation Is this: Comparatively little re-
| fined syrup enters directly into consumption.
| 1t Ia sold to parties who make q business of
mixing 1t with glucose and who sell 1t In this
( orm to dealers. This process is not carried
on secretly and Is In the hands Of some OF the
most upright and respectable citizens. and
now refined sugar Is openly adulterated
| on large scale, In view OF the
simplicity of the process and the oheapness
| of the new ingredient. they think 1t will not be
| long before adulterating agencies are estab-
| I
Il BILE to expect that wholesale and retail grocers
will practice the art In their own behalf. There
should be prompt Legislation In every State
making It Il misdemeanor for manufacturers
and wholesale or retail dealers to sell adul-
terated goods, without full notice to pur-
chasers. The consuming public are now pay
ing for adulterated sugar a price beyond Its
| actual worth. because they consider he color
alone. Pure refined sugar of grades which can
be adulterated cannot long maintain contest
against the mixed article II the people prefer
| or are willing to buy the latter and In that case
the refners will be compelled to supply It,
though at its real value and below Its resent
market rate.
NEW ORDER OF KN1GHTHooD.
On Easter Monday Mr.. John w, Hamersey
gave an entertainment to a number Of dlstin-
Rulshed guests at his residence in New York.
among whom were Hon. Charles O'Conor. Gen.
George W. Cullom. the Marquis de Tallyrand-
Pergord. Mr.. George W. Chids. Hon. Lafay-
cite s. Foster. Gen. Butterfeld. Ohief Justice
George Shea and the Rev. DIR. Noah Fl. Schenck,
D. d. Each guest. upon taking his place. found
before him an ostrich egg covered with orange
oolored silk. into which had been woven his
name. The interior of each egg. also lined
With orange colored silk. contained an inter-
woven list OF all the guests. The table
service was also of silver and the decora-
tons were fresh palm leaves and flowers The
sorbet was served In shell representing
large nautilus. and at the dessert Tokay WAS
served more than a century old. The cigarettes
were announced as having been prepared from
tobacco grown long ago on the slopes of Mount
Lebanon. After the sorbet the host arose and
and announced that they were to institute "a
new and permanent order of gentlemen. who
seek not the golden fleece OF mere riches. but
the silver fleece Of pure renown." He then
solemnly Invested Gen. Culom with a silver
fleece as the first chief OF the order after which
Chief Justice Shea was called to the high degree
of Lyon King at Arms and In turn invested
each of his colleagues with their insignia.
When the guests resumed their seats
and the full flood OF the light from
the crimson shaded candles shone
upon their wonderful dresses. the scene
presented was highly picturesque. When a
rare and exquisite Russian wine from the
Crimea was introduced. Chief Justice Shea. at
the call OF the company. addressed them al
length. speaking OF the friendly relations
which had always existed between Russia and
the United States. and ended with compli-
ment to that nation which inspired call for
ex- Minister StouRhton who spoke In praise of
the Gear at some length. At midnight Mr..
Hamersley announced that the Paas festival
was strictly In order. After many trials with
parti- colored eggs Mr.. Stoughton was declared
worthy to be crowned as King Of the Egg
breakers. He declined the distinction. and
shortly afterward the Easter party broke up.
THE JEsUITs OF FRANCE.
The laws In force In France against the
Jesuits. which the Radicals have invoked by
the decree against unauthorized religious So
cieties are numerous and rigorous enough In
1862. by the decisions of the Parliament of Paris.
the Jesuits were accused OF almost every crime
under the sun. and ordered to evacuate their
colleges and other establishments within a
week. In 1854 the Parliament pronounced the
dehnifive suppression Of the order the King de-
claring 1t to be his pleasure that the Jesuits
should have no place In his kingdom or posses-
sions. In 1867 the Parliament pronounced an
order of expulsion against the Jesuits indivd-
ually. and In 1777 Louis XVI issued an edict
more severe than any which had preceded IT,
In 1890 the Constituent Assembly suppressed
all the monastic orders. and In 1892 all re-
ligious corporations were suppressed By
the concordat Of the year K some
modification was consented to: but no aggre-
cation or association Of men or women could
be formed under the pretext of religion with
out the special authorization Of the government
To prove that these DEGREES and decisions ere
still In vigor we have only to look at the deca-
rations Of the tribunals of the present century
For example: In 1926 the Court Of Douat de-
cided case against some Jesuits on the
ground that they had been banished In 1894 and
could not inherit. and this decision Was con-
frmed by the highest court In the realm under
the monarchy. In the same year all the courts
of paris assembled and declared. by lfty-thr
judges against two. that the above men
