A SUGAR KING IN TEARS.
Such an event as occurred last
evening at the Mission Turn
Verein Hall is seldom witnessed in
this city. Upward OF 900 EN-
ployees of the California Sugar Re
hnery gathered there to take fare
well of their employer and friend,
Claus Spreckles, before he leaves
for the east. The hall was nicely
decorated with flags, banners, and
flowers. The affair was a complete
surprise to Mr.. %Spreckles, who act
ually knew nothing OF it until wait
cd upon at his residence on How
ard Street by the reception com
mittee. Chief Engineer Charles
Watson referred to what Mr..
Spreckles had done toward building
up and advancing the industries of
the coast. All the machinery for
the large refinery in the Hawallan
Islands had been made here in
preference to other countries, so
that 81, 900, 900 had been disbursed
in this state The estimated cost
OF the contemplated jacksonville
factory will be $500, 900, which,
however. is nothing to the benefits
that will accrue to California if the
enterprise turns out a success, OF
which there is no doubt. Secretary
Fred Maurer read number Of highly
euloglstic resolutions, which were
handsomely engraved OF a plate Of
solid silver, on the reverse side o.
which was an engraving of the
California Refinery, tho plate be
ing handsomely mounted in Cali
fornia laurel wood.
When the chairman handed
these resolutions to Mr.. Spreckles
who has fought his way in life will
an unblanched cheek, and, by shee.
determination to succeed, has gain
ed for himself the title of Suga
King, by which he is know
throughout the civilized world, com
pletely broke down and wept like
child. The silence which prevaile'
at this Emoment throughout tn
large hall was painful in the g,
IRENE, and here and there an aud
bic io1 broke from the rugge
working-men, who for the first tim
saw their chief IN tears. Conque,
ing his emotion with ii great effor
Mr.. Spreckles, IN a yet hardly fir
voice, spoke the thanks which
30 heartily felt. Then, feeling tn.
it was necessary to add something
he spoke of the Sugar Trust. TIL
body, he said, had offered him 81
900, 900 to GO in with them an
close down the California %retiner,
He could not consent, however,
