A NEW FILTER.
Of Interest to Mill Owners and Planters.

OF Interest to Mill Owners and Planters.
Understanding that considerable interest was
being manifested toward Mr.. Lobenstein's new
| method of separating the pure cane juice from
its Impurities, We repaired to the Government
building, in whose museum a complies model,
only wanting in certain mechanical details, is on
exhibition.
The first thing striking one unfamiliar with
mechanical matters of this kind is the sug-
g~estion of exceeding simplicity in construction
considering the principles involved, and if the
accomplishment of the results claimed for it can
be judged by its appearance, We see no reason
why the inventor should not be con graduated
for his success in both.
It has since been learned that one of these
6lters, as the inventor calls them, has been in
constant operation daily during a period of
many months that the filtered liquid is of a
beautiful clear color, chemical tests showing an
entire absence of gunny matter. The working
capacity of the concern is another great item in
its favor, one set accomplishing daily the output
of that days work, averaging between twenty
five aud thirty CHARTERS, and this without discon-
nection for cleaning purposes. The discharge
of the filtered liquor takes place through spoutS,
each filter running its owa iniivi intl stream,

the alert for new methods of enhancing the
value of their sugars, will bear this in mind,
We wish Mr.. Lobenstein much success.

A scheme is said to have been devised and
will soon be under way to build a parallel road
from st. Louis to San Francisco, with branches
running to Texas and Indian Territory, making

In respect to the subject of cruelty to
animals, our attention has been frequently
called u the cruel manner in which he
Chinese prepare a fow for cooking. In some
instances, it is said, the poor bird is dipped
into scalding water while alive, owing to
their opinion that it will facilitate the re-
mOvaI of the feathers. Their method, too,
Of killing turkey, duck or goose by a slight
incision in the head and causing them to
bleed to death thus slowly, is a cruel prac-
tice that ought to be suppressed.

The Humane Society.

7 WeIearn that many complaints nave Oe
lodged with the President oil the u"
Society i'm respect to the treatment ah
roll Intended for slaughter. 1t Is urged
-, :, son,e instances they are killed after
= tor5 drive i'm when the meat must be in
q faverfsb condition. and in other cases it
= stated that animals are allowed to remain
for days in an open pen without food or
water. Now these charges do not apply to
all parties who supply the public with
meat as we are we'll aware that some of our
butchers are enabled and do provide ami
mails brought to the city for slaughter,
whether beef cattle, sheep or swine with
~pasturage or other supplies OF feed,
and with an abundant supply of water.
Now if there are any caterers or meat pur-
yeyors for the public who nave not these
favorable conditions for the temporary care
and nOuTishment Of butchering animals
they certainly ought to take the
matter in hand as soon as posi-
BILE and provide, the necessary con-
ditiOns for the proper care Of animals de-
signed for the food of this community. In
a warm climate aud at this season of the
year, we cannot be too particular
about the character and quality of
our food, and the Health authorities
as we'll as the Humane Society would be
neglected. # their duties if animals brought
to this city for the meat supply Of the COM
munity, should be starved, cruelty handled
or slaughtered in au u~nwhOlesome cOndi-
ton.
We hope that our butchers will accept this
note Of warning and nave all animals in
tended for slaughter aud for the city's meat
supply cared for in life in such a way as
will satisfy not only the sentiments of hui
mainly but the requirements of a proper
health inspection.

Mt their rooms in Vernon row Saturday night
was largely attended, and the time was prin-
cipally occupied in discussing the subject of
n large hall, want which has long been felt.

they propose to build a hall which will be am
pie for the holding of conventions or fairs or
The giving Of balls. Should they do this
tho amount of money which they will
realize from tho proposed fair can read

GUARDING THE CITY HALL.
For long time the loose arrangements, or
lack of any, that existed around the city hall
were a cause of comment among the lawyers
aud those whose business called them into the
building. When tho present marshal, CoI.
NIcMichael, came into office he discovered
this and set himself to work to remedy the
evil. While the recent investigation going
on before the grand jury has made tins a
% special object to the thieves now under hre
Marshal McMichae induced congress to give
MIN two watchmen and an engineer, the latter
filling the position of superintendent OF the
building. whose duty it will be to see that the
structure Is well guarded against fire and
burglars. Hereafter the entrance will be
closed every evening ut o'clock, with the
exception of the main door, which will be
kept open in charge of watchman, and no
one will be allowed to enter unless he be
known to have urgent business. This has
been found necessary, as the district attorney
was seriously apprehcnsive that an attempt
would be made to get possession of valuable
papers known to be in his custody.
