In the Criminal Court to-day. Mr. A. G. Riddle.
counsel for Frank Langston, indicted for the muir
der OF James Spencer on March 4th last, called
Judge MacArthur's attention to the case for the
purpose OF fixing day for trial, and he said that
in consultation with the district attorney Monday

Assistant District Attorney Taggar said that he
understood that Monday next had been agreed
upon, but as the case OF Bigelow had been set in

1T impossible to proceed with the murder case He
suggested that Wednesday or Thursday of that
week be set
MI Riddle asserting, the trial was set for the
215t instant.

noticed that most of that throng wore
their spring styles, especially the men.
Men seem to have less sense in forcing
the seasons than the opposite sex. l
overheard hundred remarks on
spring, but this is incidental to this
paragraph. I met Coup and fell to
chatting with him about some of tho
curiosities in his Congress of Nations.
He directed my attention to one Of the
red men whom he had to represent the
race which is growing lazier as it
grows less. This savage seemed to be
doing like lazy dog, unmindful of
the stare of his audience. ventured
to say something about the Indifference
of the chief suppose he had been q
chief-when Coup remarked that he
had never seen him evince any evil
dences of spirit but once. When he
was engaged they tried to make him
wear pants, and he would have acced-
ed, perhaps, if they had bought him 8
pair of hand-me-downs. But" said
Coup, II thought l would do him
proud, so took him to fashionable
tailor, who made him pair of tight
fitting trousers of the dude cut. II
never saw as mad an Indian in my life.
He tore them off and informed me,
through his interpreter, that it was
humiliating enough for him to pose as
a curiosity of an almost extinct race
without wearing tight pants" Igivo
it in the hope that the taste of even
wild and untutored specimen Of an UNI
civilized race may have some effect.
But doubt it. He might make re-
formation on such people with toma-
hawk. The Meddler, TN ChicayO Hsrald

Sugar i'm Lumps.

In answer to a correspondent who
asks the difference between the sugar
which is sold in apparently smooth
cut Jumps and other white sugar, the
Jumps of which are somewhat rough
on their surface, the New York Sun
says: The difference is considerable,
and the latter, which is pure loaf sugar,
cut into Jumps. always commands q
higher price in the wholesale market,
and cannot be adulterated. 1t is
called in the market "cut-loaf. The
former quality of sugar is what is
known rs .'cubes." The cut-loaf SUI
gar is made in Jumps of fifty pounds
out of cane sugar, then sawed into
slabs. and these slabs are partially cut
through and partially broke. 1t is
easy to distinguish the marks of cutting
and breaking on each lump The cube
sugar is madeo soft sugar and pressed
in molds, which gives the smooth APP
pearance, and is suitable for shipment.
The cube sugar will sometimes on 3
sea voyage resume the consistency Of
the soft sugar, and the change Of
form Is due to adulteration.
The safest sugar for anyone to buy is
pure loaf sugar, and it is much sweeter
than any other. The principal sub
stance used in adulterating sugar is
glucose, which Is sugar made from va
rious vegetable substances. chiefly
grain. While glucose is sweet. it is
easily detected by the expert because it
is not so sweet as cane sugar. 1t is.
nevertheless, very extensively used to
sdulterate cane sugar and produce
cheap sugars which are sold in the
market Reputable dealers sell 1t ss
glucose, but there are many dealers
who sell glucose for sugar The nature
of the glucose Is to make close. sticky
sugar; 1t does not produce grains. like
cane.
