A GREAT SCHEME.
A Publishers Syndicate that Promi-
 ses Wonders.

A syndicate of publishers has perfected ar rangements that are calculated practically to give monopoly of the business of reproduce ing here European books. The names of tho members of the syndicate are kept secret at present, but it is expected that they will soon be known by the stupendous surprise they fpropose to flash upon their business rivals. The syndicate has made & three years contract with g company controlling 8 process for reproducing books for all that they can do in that time, and the company is fitting up an expensive plant for the carrying out of the work in New York City. No other work is to be done here during that time for any other persons than those belonging to the syndicate and it is understood that if the publishers had had their way about it they would have made the contract for ten years instead of three.
 It is asserted that fac-simile plates ready for printing, can be made by the company at & cost of 314 cents square inch, and could pos sibly be furnished as low as 1 cent square inch. One of the company says: s'The amount of matter that compositor would charge S6 for setting we can furnish, blocked and ready for the press, at profit for 50 cents.'
 In a general way the process is understood by many, but the especial features that make it valuable are secrets carefully guarded by the three gentlemen who constitute the con- pany.

CHINESE NOT WANTED.
New South Wales Determined Not
 to Have Any Moro.

The steamer Guthrie arrived at Sydney with 100 Chinese emigrants. They attempted to land, but were prevented from doing so by the police. The Premier informed the Assembly that he had cabled to the imperial government that the government of New South Wales had resolved to prevent the landing of Chinese emil grants not provided with naturalization papers, and that the decision had the support of the people and the Assembly. He further said that be would move the suspension of standing or ders for the purpose of enabling the House to immediately pass 8 bill substituting for the sct restricting Chinese immigration 8 meas ure entirely prohibiting such immigration.
 The Chinese Ambassador has handed to the English government 8 note protesting against The action ot the Australian colonies in pre- venting the landing of Chinese immigrants, and asking an inquiry as to how far such ac- ton is compatible with the growth of friendly relations betwe en Great Britain and China.
 The government of New South Wales has sent despatch to the home government pro- testing against Chinese immigration and de- manding that the home government interfere in the matter, adding that otherwise the col onies must bow to public opinion and take their own measures to exclude Chinese immi- grafton.

A GLUCOSE TRUST,
Immense Profits in which the Invent
 or, as Usual, Gets Little.

The final meeting of the glucose manufact- urers to form trust in that article will be held in Chicago soon. Cicero J. Hamlin and his family, of Buffalo, N Y, control at least one-third of the entire glucose production, the great demand for which requires the use of 6OOO0 bushels of corn Q day. The profit on glucose is enormous, being between forty and fifty cents for every bushel of corn used.
 The extracting of glucose from corn was discovered in 1867 by Horace Williams, where he was in partnership with A. W. Fox in the brewing of ale and beer. He invented all the machinery necessary for the manufac- ture of the sugar, and was for several years alone master of the processes necessary for the extraction of glucose from corn.
 The only use that glucose, or grape sugar, was at first put to was substitute for malt in brewing ale and beer. It was not until 1874 that the almost universal nature of the grape sugar and glucose syrup as an adulterator became apparent. Then Cicero J. Hamlin got control of the glucose business of Fox & Will Hams by endorsing their paper and the death of Fox by a railroad accident. Williams held sixty six shares of stock in the Buffalo ceived any dividend up to 1879, although the works were then yielding profit of $1 ,OO0, GOO year, on an investment of S400, ,0GO, and other men having, under his instruction, mastered the business of extracting sugar from corn, he left the company, claiming that Hamlin had wrongful possession of his stock, the value of which was then $40, 900. Long litigation fol- lowed in which the Ham ins were practically victorious, and they became the glucose kings of the United States, their business now earn ing them S3,OOO, 900 a year profit. Williams became interested with other parties who started the making of glucose in Cleveland, but he never rcaped much more benefit from his discovery and inventions than fair sal arv.
 New York city, in its confectionery, tobacco, beer preserved fruits, sugar, moasses, and other articles of consumntion, uses 100 car loads of glucose day. It is expected by the glucose manufacturers that by the placing of their interests in the hands of pool or trust will result in an advance in the price of glucose of fifteen per cent.

A Doubtful Decision.

Vice Chancellor Bird, of Trenton, N. J., de-
 cid-d the case of the Hutchings heirs against
 Henry George. The clause in the will leaving Henry George bequest for the pun pose of
 aiding him in the circulation of his land
 theories among the people was declared void. Hutchings was 8 wealthy Gloucester county man and an early convert to Georgeism. His heirs contested the will, and George applied to the Court of Chancery for construction of the instrument. The point made by the con- testants was that it was neither charitable, benevolent or educational bequrst. The Court held that George advocated practices in re- spect of real estate in violation of the laws Of the land, and it could not sanction the dlssem- ination of such sentiments. The decision sug- gests the inquiry whether a bequest to aid pro- hibition or womans suffrage stands good or

A Wife Worth Having.

If every man could be sure of a hus- band like Mir. Joseph Cummings, o1 East Oxford, Me-, it is probable that 6 number of those who sign themselves "old maid" would materially lessen. As reported by the Mechanic Falls Ledger, MT. Cummings, who will be eighty years old next month, has done both the housework and taken care of his sick wife for the past ten years since Mrs. Cummings had paralytic shock: This winter she has been afflicted with rheu- matism so she cannot rise from her chair without help. MT. Cummings has done the cooking, ironing and washing for four years, and this spring has been cleaning house in the most approved style. He lives on large farm, keep ing horse and twelve head of cattle. If this worthy man should ever be so unfortunate as to become widower, he would be in very great danger.
