another conclusion.

into a pickle" as it were, in regard
10 the death punishment in that
State.
On the first Of jar Iary the new
law ordering the death # criminals

ieal change. Now a new feature
arises which is likely 10 produce a
great deal Of dissension. II is the

stated that every prison where the

A Monster Swindle.

A Monster Swindle.
Have you ever thought Of it?
There are people throughout the
length and breath of this land, stand
ing around with eyes open and hands
ready to grasp, waiting to be hum
plugged. And there is always some
fellow, or some concern, that passes
their way and gives them apretty
big dose of just the thingthey want.
They swallow it down with apparent
gusto, smack their lipsand say, "lt's
good! Just see them when the
truth is revealed. my, my" Their.
faces are as long as a mid-summer's
day ard their dispositions impress
you with the idea that they had
been soaked in q barrel Of 100-proof
vinegar. 1t wears off finally, and
they are ready for some other style
of humbug. So the world wags.
The biggest swindle, perhaps, of
the nineteen century; at any rate
the largest scheme we can recall just
now, has just come to light in New
York. 1t is a barefaced humbug in
which Englishmen and Americans
paid for in good money, and more
than one million dollars was lost.
1t was a most ingenious, gigantic
and successful swindles. 1t excited
the operators on the Liverpool and
Birmingham Stock Exchanges as
they have never been before in the
history Of these places.
The northern daily press is filled
with long accounts concerning the
transactions. Briefly: Four years
ago Henry C. Friend, of New York,
claimed THAT he had discovered a
process by which raw sugar could
be refined with the aid Of electricity.
Friend steadfastly kept his alledge
secret, imparting it to no one but
his wife. A company was formed,
lin which Americans and wealthy
Englishmen were drawn, known as
the Electric Sugar refining Com
pany. They were going to reduce
the refining Of sugar from $40 to 20
cents per ton. Friend died and his
wife claimed she knew all about the
new process. A factory was estab.
lished in Brooklyn, Its working:
were kept secret. Samples of the
refined sugar were exhibited. Moth
ling purer could be conceived. II
now turns out that it was no pro.
cess at all. Not a pound of raw SUI
gar had been refined. They had
purchased refined sugar, chiefly
; cubes, and it had been prepared witt
a chemical liquid which eliminated
the ordinary impurities found in al
sugars, and the chemicals used has
erystalized the cubes to a large ex'
tent and when they were broker
they had a finer appearance and
quality than sugar was ever known
TO possess. There are now som'
very detected and mad people il

same class are coming over from
England to make a personal inyes
