ELECTRIC SUGAR REFINING AFFAIRS.

l.
NEW YORK. March 19.-Electric sugar
refining affairs seem to have taken sud-
den revolution. Mrs. Oliver E. Friend,
Mrs. Emily Howard and the Halstead boys
who are guests of Warden Osborn in the
Tombs. have changed their attitude from
one of fear to one of boisterous hilarity.
This is accounted for by a suit entered in
the supreme court against William Henry
Cotterill and Henry W. Robertson, presi-
dent and secretary respectively OF the
Electric Sugar Refining company, for an
accounting and d receivership of the prop
erty and the assets of the company. This
action is entered by Mrs. Catharlne Mack
ey, who claims to be stakeholder
in this notorious company The mere fact
of an ordinary stakeholder taking this
action is not responsible for the smiles
that chase each other over the counte-
nances of Mrs Friend and the others, but
the particular stakeholder in this instance
is the wife of Joseph Mackey, one of the
proprietors of Mackeys A, B, c guide.
The other proprietor is Charles \. Critten-
den, a wholesale druggist. He had conf
dence enough in William A. Howard, one
of the prisoners, to go on his bonds for
So. 500. In her affidavit upon which the
suit is brought Mrs. Mackey al
leges that the electrical process, which
was discovered by the late Professor
Friend. and by which raw sugar can be
refined at small fraction of the cost OF
methods now in use. is an actual TACT, and
can be demonstrated by those in whose
keeping the secret is. She further states
that prior to the death of Professor Friend
a lot of raw sugar was refined, and that by
reason of his demise all the stock went to
his wife, subject to the contract claims Of
the subscribers, of whom Mrs. Mackey
was. and is now, one. This company ex-
pended Sl25.0 for machinery and at
the request of the stockholders Mrs.
Friend did actually refine fifty
to make known the process by which the
result was accomplished, claiming that the
contract did not require her to do so. She
further states that Mrs. Friend gave up
4. 900 shares of the stock to the company
and retained the 6,000 remaining shares for
herself AT this time Messrs. Cotterill
and Robertson had Mrs. Friend and her
mother arrested, thereby hoping to extort
the secret from them, but without success.
Mrs. Mackey further charges that instead
of retaining their stock in their official
possession for the benefit of the
stockholders, Messrs. Cotterill and
Robertson put il on the market
and sold part of il at a premium OF POO per
cent. As soon as they had placed it at
these figures, they began circulating false
rumorS as 10 the fraudulent character OF
the company and bought the stock in
again at below par. This stock gambling
scheme, she says was successfully worked
several times. much TO the pecuniary bene-
fit of Cotterill and Robertson. In her ac-
ton for the appointment of a receiver,
Mrs. Mackey, desires that the profits made
by the president and secretary be applied
for the general benefit of the stockholders.

OPPOSED TO RECIPROCITY.
A Canadian Member Speaks in Harsh
Terms of Uncle Sans Subject.

OTTAWA, Ont, March 19,-The budget
debate was resumed this afternoon by Mr..
Cockburn, who delivered an ultra loyal
speech which met with applause from the
government benches. but was greeted
with derisive cheers from the other side of
the house. Mr. Cockburn is a firm believ-
er in national policy of protection and is
opposed to schemes for unrestricted reclp-,
rocity or commercial union. He instituted
comparisons to show that various provinces
of Canada are enjoying greater prosperity
than the various states of the union. lie
said the decline in land values in New
York state from 1870 to 1850 was S2l0,0 :
900. while Ontario in the same period eX-
perienced an increase of S66,350, 600. He
asserted that three-quarters of the number
of the farms in New York state were mort
gagged Americas alleged aristocracy, he
said. lived only for Doodle and he had
nothing kind to say about the plutocracy
All the Americans wanted was to get the
trade of Canada and to give nothing in
return.

From all that can be learned one need not

The social standing Of working women is
becoming better and better. The honest
working woman engaged in honest labor Is
entitled TO the respect Of all honest minded
people. She should be welcomed in the
churches of the cities. and should be drawn
into the best associations. where social and
moral surroundings would aid her in cult
waiting her own seli-respect. At least IL
should not be possible TO class her as the
