The 1900 gallons of molasses already

There is still another product of sor-

Il appears that the paper manufsctur-

product as one which is likely to be

these tests should prove satisfactory
the company intend to put up pulp
machine on the grounds and prepare
the pulp, the price of which is from 4
to AZ cents per pound. Professor Col

paper pulp can be made from this
refuse product.
All comparison with the new sor-
ghum industry at Rio Grsnde appears
to be made with Cuba or Louisiana

scientific gentleman who visited the
works this week writes in letter to
professor Collier. There was Cuban

there was many a stand of Cuban cane
which did not look go well as the fields
he saw of sorghum, and that the
amount of labor required to work
1000 &C, es ii Cuba was very much
greater than in New Jersey, and the
labor was continuous all the year, and
they only get one crop. The luxuriant
tropical climate made it necessary to
work all the time to keep the weeds

Give me another doughnut."

"Give me another donghnut."
Refine McCloskcy's voice is husky
with grief as she speaks these words,
and over the dimpled cheek that looks
SO fair and white in the moonlight the
bushes are chasing each other in
rapid succession. To her right are
the Catskills their SUBMITS bathed in a
flood of silvery light, while at their
base lies the placid Hudson, its SHIN
mering surface rejecting the twinkling
stars that are looking down in ali their
silent splendor from the azure zenith.
Directly in front OF the girl, and lend.
ing to the tout ensemble soft warmth
of coloring not otherwise obtainabe, is
large jar. Immediately behind il
stands Hercules Perkins.
81 am going away" he says.
The girl does not reply. The shad-
ow of the doughnutjar conceals the
look of haunting fear that passes across
her face, and the white lines around
the dropping mouth are not seen by
the one whose words have caused their
presence.
"Shail YOU miss me-" ha asks.
The little white hand that rests upon
the back of chair is trembling now,
and in the deep brown eyes there are
hot tears of sorrow and pain. Suddenly
Refine speaks.
AGO away" she says, in agonized
tones. $50 away before tell you
that which had best remain unsaid,'
and sobs choke her utterance.
A great light breaks upon Hercules.
Stepping quickly to the girls side he
places his arm around her. "Tell me
truly, sweetheart" he says, edo you
love me?'
For answer she places soft white
arm around his neck, and rs he bends
over to kiss her the other hand reaches
forward, feels cautiously around for an
instant, and then. with wild cry OF
agony, Refine McCloskey falls forwar d
in a swoon.
The doughnutjar is empty.

Dr.. Pancost, and was witnessed by al,
the physicians in the city. Ii was con-
sidered bold feat Of surgery, and
many physicians shook their heads
with fear lest the ettempt should result
fatally to to the patient. Lytle WAS
then only seven months old. He was
born with hideous appendage on the
left cheek that resembled an imper-
fectly developed infant. There was

photographs of the malformation were

severed by the surgeons knife. The
operation has been successfully per-
formed only three times, once each in
Paris, Tendon and Philadelphia.

1t Must Not be Inrrinsed Upon-GOod
Words From Attorney General Brewster
In Regard to the South Carolinian Elec.
ton Frauds.
WARRINGTON, March 23-Attorney Genera
Brewster wrote letter to Dullas Sanders, as
sistant district attorney of the United States at
Charleston, 8. c., whom he knows personally
in relation to the contest between Sullivan
and Small in the house Of: representatives.
He says 1.-THE right of suffrage must'be pro-
tected, no matter who suffers, and hope TO
prosecute forthwith, the most important per-
sons, who have been concerned in attempts to
defeat honest elections by fraudulent or forci-
BILE means. There will be no example made
of merely insignificant persons taken hold Of.
Those who stood high In the community and
have thus ventured TO violate the law and en-
courage others to do it are the very persons
to be first prosecuted, and, il convicted, pun
ished in signal way. Then things will be-
gin to change, and voters be encouraged to
vote according to their convictions, and those
who do vote will feel satisfied Of their votes
being duly counted and surrender cheerfully
to the honest result. The criminal court
house should not be used only for the punish
ment OF the obscure. 1t must not be the
poor mans court house. All who vi
olate the law, and especially fundamental
law, such as the right of suffrage, mnst be
made to feel the terrors Of that law. Abuse
of the right OF suffrage, such as is charged to
have been perpetrated in South Carolina, is
practical treason against the dignity Of the
people, and the fundamental principles OF their
power, and 1t must be signally punished.
Sanders answer is, that District Attorney
Milton has already proceeded against the
most conspicuous offenders, the election
officers,

his boyhood's years, he crystalized into song
in that sweet poetic gem, my Lost

low exhibited literary talent of high
order, and his writings attracted attention

leave Of absence to make a tour of Europe,

NoRTHHELD, March M.-In the Pioneer
Press of the Goth inst. Is a special in which
the writer, the brilliant Especial says, in
speaking of the farmers meeting held here:
"There were number OF farmers who went
away from the hall utterly disguised with the
meeting, as the meeting was simply nothing
else than political meeting gotten up simply
in the interest of several Office seekers, and
called farmers mass melting
Now as this ''special'' never went near the
meeting he speaks of, he knows nothing of
its nature. These "disgusted farmers
who left the hall'' were just one, Mr.. John
Way, who owns big share in the Grange mill
at Waterford. Does any fool suppose that q
man, the owner of mill, is going to attend q
meeting and work against his interest? This

Mr.. SINCLAIR of the Winona RepuWi-
can, also postmaster of that city, finds
himself in an awkward dilemma to draw
the matter very mildly. He boastfully
announced that he had the original copy
off D1nnell's "Sound Jones" let
ter in his possession. When he made
this announcement he knew the letter
had been stolen from Postmaster David
son at Austin. Mr.. Davidson formally
demanded Of Mr.. Sinclair the return of
his stolen property, notifying him
that it was stolen, whereupon
Sinclair informs him he has re-
turned it to the thief or agent of the
original thief, from whom he received it.
Perhaps Mr. Sinclair can explain by what
code of morals-postoffice or otherwise
he reconclles his conduct with either
honor or decency. If he had obtained a
package of 1000 which he knew to be
stolen, and if the rightful
owner personally known to him as
such) demanded it, would he have re-
turned it to the thief? There is not a
particle of difference in the morality of
the matter. A thief stole the letter and
Mr.. Sinclair became the confessed par
taker. The First district seems to be a
sort of f'rotten borough" and Sinclair,
perhaps, and his pal are representative
politicians of the locality. 1t will be safe
to keep your "hands on your pocket
books" when circulating in the neigh
borhood of any of the gang who have
been handling this stolen letter.

ADJUSTMENTS,
Fanny Darssiport as RosnItnd.

Shakespeare's exquisite comedy, "As You

in fancy and rich in the treasures of romance
it must ever appeal to the springtIme period

As presented last night. the pastoral beau.

given with realism and charm that awoke

The Rosaland OF Miss Davenport was Jim.
personated with true ardor, and her treatment
of the character was arch and captivating.
She dressed the part admirably and was best
in the love scene, in the third act, and the
scene in the succeeding act, where she gave
wayson hearing of Orlando's misfortune.
This scene was given with touching tender.
ness and beauty, and she was deservedly re.
called. The Cuckoo" song was we'll rem
dered, and she responded to an encore. The
"Orlando" OF Mr.. George Clarke was also
admirable, his love and devotion being ex
pressed with proper warmth aud persistency.
Mr.. Tearle, who assumed the dual role of
Oliver and Jaques, did some effective acting
and the delivery of the difficult defamation
the "SeYen Ages" was marked with due
sense ss to ennunciation and shading. The
part of Celia, as impersonated by Miss Shaw
was very acceptable.
The picturesque and Qaaint character oil
Touchstone was admirably portrayed by Mr..
Harry Hawk. He and Miss Bray, who took
the part Of Audrey, afforded infinite delight to
the audience.
The faithful aptitudes of Adam were well
pictured by Mr.. Charles Fisher. Mr.. Pearson
