Al lhe meeting Of lie trustees

any dcfens or demanding an

chnsen to 1ill lie vacancy
Mr.. Douglass was Superintend-
ent Of The Institution from 1880
to 1883, and his management was
not a success, but when the re-
moval 0i' John g. Hiie, an eiiic-

purely PARTISAN reasons, Doug

outcome is not a surprise TO
those who know Douglass.
Mr.. Barrett, the new snperin-

1854 TO 1888, ana is an intensely
Republican partisan. His eapac-
ity for he place is to be demon

The Cleveland Plain Deal

The Cleveland Plain Dealer
observes that it is the general
impression throughout the conn.
try, confirmed By the course OF
the Republican majority in the
Duited States senate, that a high
tariff policy will prevail during
The administration of President
Harrison. Business has been
shaping itself upon that model
since the election in November
and the reports OF trade, which
were most encouraging dur:us
the latter part of President
Clereland's term especially, in
dicate unlDistakable depression.
Dunn & Co.'S review for The week
notes .Slat reports from interior
towns show that failures continue
enormous sad the complaints Of
tafdy collections are freoueDt.'
Ii the mere prospect Of a Repub-
lican:: high tariff administration
sows such seed, what Will the
harvest be

Scarlet Fever.

In regard to the isolation o. cases in
private homes. the notes OF the exper-
iepces of trained hospital nurse, who
acted as specialist in the treatment
Of cases Of scarlatina, states that her
practice was to isolate tue patient in IL
SINGLE room. the upper room if posi-
bic. and let no ons else enter it i; to so
arrange as 20 keep the door and part
OF the window open in order to let u
current of air pass through the room
over the patient: to observe all the de-
tails o: regulations as to cleanliness of
the patient, and as 10 her own perso nal
protection 10 wash from head to feet
once q day with tepid water, an d to
change her clothes once IA day. With
these precautions she has never had
a single case Of 'sho spread of the dis
ease to Il member Of ihe family, nor
had she once contracted the disease
herself.

Nothing Succeeds Like Success,

NotnlnS EuGGeedS Like success.
And so true Is this old saying
in connection with the we'll
known Davis Sewing machines,
tha, it IS pleasure to present to
our readers few pungent facts
in relation thereto This ma
chine is the only one that uses
the vertical feed, an improve
rnent that stands pre-emlneut
among modern inventions, and
The right of which IS possessed
by tho Davis Sewing Machine
Company alone. Through this
method Of feeding, every de-
scription of sewing Is executed in
the most perfect manner, avoid
ing any "fuIling'' either above or
below, ard the necessity OF bast,
ing. A feature not possessed by
any other machine, is that the
Davis carries both upper and
under plies of goods together, as
li4a vertical feed works well on
both sides. This cannot be said
of any other machine. Seams
prove no obstruction to This new
feed, as il steps evenly over them.
No home can be complete with
cut one Of these new model ma
chimes. j. G. EGGLEsroN. aet.,

The experiments in beet sugar pro-
duction at Claus Spreckles' factory in
California are interesting in view of
the possibilities of root culture for SUI
ga. there. There was much delay in
getting the machinery in operation and
the gathering of the beet crop was de-
layed till severe rain storms had dam
aged it. Yet it is stated that the farm
ers received something over S. per ton
for their beets, netting from $40 to
$50 per acre, or an average ct s35.
During the seventy days that the fac
tory was in operation, $4,000 tons
Of beets were crushed, and 1,64O tons
of sugar produced, at a net profit of
$50, 600. From this showing, the re-
suit of the experimenting thus far, it
is probable that the beet crop may de-
velop into one as important in Califor-
MIA as the sorghum crop promises for
Kansas, and with the two, supplement
tai to the southern product-whlch
will be largely exceeded in volume,
without doubt-the sugar question is
promised speedy and satisfactory So
luton.
