WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The recent dis
cussions in congress regarding the Sherman
Davis controversy, in which so many ex-
Confederates have taken part, directs atten-

that nearly one-fourth Of the members Of
the present congress served the Confederaey

beyond the power of the first, and in this
manner she fulfilled her work. Each was
of value in her station, and both were wo-
men of heightened character. Had the
Commodore never married the second time

alone was enough to consecrate the memory
Of that noble woman, through whom 1t was

he set their cares at rest by an anti-nuptial
contract which, though extremely liberal to
the bride, was satisfactory to all others in

I met Daniel Torrance, his son-in-law, and
as we were speaking of the Commodore,
Torrance inquired: Have you seen him
since he got married Indeed, sir, how
much better he looks ?" Torrance, too, Is

DID MR.. CLEVELAND ONCE LOVE ?

There is dim, shadowy fear among the
fair sex at the capital that the mythical Buf.
falo lady whom rumor has betrothed TO Mr..
Cleveland may turn up at any time and car.
ny off the prize, but there is the best author.
ity for stating that the fear is groundless.
The only woman the President ever loved
has been dead more than twenty years. The
most authentic reports have 1t that while
quite young man, teaching school In a
western New York village, he met and loved
young girl not YET seventeen. They were
engaged, but the poverty of both parties
prevented marriage. The young teacher
made up his mind to go to Ohio for the pur-
pose OF providing home for his betrothed,
and was on the point of starting for the
West when she fell sick, and in less than a
week was carried TO her last resting-place.
There are no absolute proofs of the truth of
this story. The President has never men,
toned the matter to his nearest friends and
tho source of information is town gossip,
handed down with perhaps the usual yaria.
tions and additions. Whether the Presi.
dent has remained single out Of romantic
fidelity to the memory Of his youthful love,
or whether bachslor life is best suited to
bis inclinations, is, of course, matter of
conjecture. Those who know him best say
he is too well fixed in his old ways to change
1t this late day, and that no bride will be
mistress of the White House while he is oc-
oupant. Correspondence Philadelphia Times

MAKING SUGAR BY ELEcTRrcITY.

An entirely new process for refining
sugar, electricity being the agent employed,
Is one of the latest discoveries. II the half
that is claimed for 1t be true 1t is also one
Of the most important that has been made
in the last half of this century. The process
is said to be dry one throughout, dispens-
ing altogether with boiling and the use Of
bone-black. It is claimed that no syrup
whatever is produced, the whole product
being hard sugar of nearly If not quite abb
solute purity-namely 100 per cent. cane
sugar, per analysis. This result has been
obtained from the lowest grades, tho parcels
treated ranging oil the way from ten pounds
to over q ton in weight.
The refined sugar is obtained within four
hours from the time the machinery Is set In
notion and the process is continuous, tho
output of fine sugar being kept up SO long
as the raw material is fed In and the ma
chinery kept in motion. The cost of the
process Is almost ridiculously low, being set
at not more than eighty cents per ton, with
guarantee that the loss will not be greater
than one half of one per cent. The cost Of
the requisite machinery, including power
and the apparatus needed to put the sugar
into barrels, and the buildings required to
enclose the works, is estimated to be about
100000 in England for an output of A, 900
barrels every twenty-four hours. Chicago

comparison of large number of the charts
