senator Evarts Crushed.

Mr.. Evarts relates with much zest a
little story of his adventures with a dig
nified and ignorant clerk OF the State
Department. On his way to call on Sec.
retary Blaine the other day, he wished
to make some inquiry, and as he was
passing through the corridor accosted a
young man whom he thought he had
seen in the department, saying to
him: 81 beg your pardon, sir, but are
you not a clerk in the State Depart.
ment? The young man addressed
stopped short, gazed at the, great
statesman, who was once the head OF
the department, and whose fame is as
broad as the two hemispheres, and in a
tone in which disgust WAS mixed with
wounded pride, replied: "No, sir, l am
not. am not clerk in the State De-
partment. 1 am an attache Of the foreign
office" Senator Evarts was 30 astounded
by this display of dignity and Anglo
mania that he says he actually forgot
the inquiry which he had intended max
ing of the young person, and walked on
quite crushed.-[Au Augusta, Ga, Chronicle.

A New Piano Deal.

The we'll known firms of Powell, Has.
kell & Co. and Day & Hart, have joined
forces and incorporated under the name
of the Southern California Music Com
pany, with capital of 100000, all sub
scribed.
Having ample capital, and represent
ing many of the leading factories in the
United States, including the popular
Decker Brothers, A. B. Chase, j. & G..
Fischer, and others, and the Chase,
Kimball and other organs, bought at
prices which are only given to the
largest dealers, this company is able to
offer inducements to purchasers that
have never been given before in South
ern California.
The company will pay especial atten'
tion to renting pianos and organs-not
the old rattle-boxes that have usually
been worked off on the innocent renter,
but brand new instruments, of reliable
makes, at reasonable prices.
Those who desire the advantage OF
selecting from the largest stock and
greatest variety in any one wareroom on
the Pacific Coast, will be shown display
of fifty of the finest instruments made, at
the warerooms of the company, No. IL
North Spring street, so long known as
Days Music Store.

THE SUGAR KINGS.
The Spreckels Decide to Duplicate
Their Philadelphia Plant.

The Spreckels Decide to Duplicate
Their Philadelphia Plant.
PHILADELPHIA, August 3. = Claus
Spreckels, the great sugar manufactures,
whose mammoth refinery on the Della
ware is now one of the landmarks
OF Philadelphia, has decided to
duplicate the plant. Claus Spreck-
els, Jr., who is associated
with his father, has notified the contra
tor for the construction of the buildings,
and George Watson, General Manager
for Mr.. Spreckels, that the capacity OF
the refinery would be doubled. The
work of erecting additional build
ings, which will adjoin those
now in course of construction, and
placing in them the necessary machinery
will begin soon. The producing capacity
of the works when completed will be
about 100000 pounds Of sugar daily.
The entire of the plant will cost be be-
tween $4,000 900 and $5 100000.
THE TRUST BooMs IT'S PAPER.
New YORK, August 3.-11 am.-At
the opening of the Stock Exchange this
morning the Sugar Trust was very active,
being feature of the dealings, and on
large business rapidly rose from 113
to 11412, but afterward reacted frac-
tion.
When the market opened yesterday
s igar Trust certificates were selling at
ITO. When it closed the price had gone
up to 1925. The story was that the
Refners' Company intended to cancel
81, 900, 900 of it's capital stock. The
owners of large blocks are said
to have been buying up guam
titles of stock during the last thirty
days with a reduction of capital in
view. The steady rise in refined sugars
which the trust manipulated during May
and June sent great profits into it's
Golfers, and with this fund and with
$2,000,O00 worth of certificates belonging
to the trust and in it's treasury, 81 ,000, 900
of the stock may be cancelled without
encroaching in the slightest degree upon
what are regarded as the profits of the
business.

have been outspoken in the comdemna-

resolved to defy the law. The last
named took formal action at meeting

Judge Ermston today held that a bar

The reports of the terrible danger and
great loss from forest fires in Yellowstone
National Park are so much exaggerated
as to be almost wholly unfounded. There
have been and still are some fires,
but the soldiers have worked hard and
successfully to overcome them. The only
fires near any roads or buildings
have been kept under control, and are
not spr sading. On the east side of the
lake, where there are no roads or build
ings, the fire is still burning. There is
no danger. Tourists scattered all over
the park feel no fears. The hotel people
have never been troubled over possible

EXCHANGE REVIEW


EXCHANGE REVIEW
NEW YORK. August The stock market was
dull but Notwithstanding the lack of disposi-
tion to trade, the market presented strong
front, except just at the opening. Throughout
the entire session there was marked lack Of
offerings, and the selling was almost entirely
by traders, while the buying was principally
for account of outsiders. The final changes are
almost invariably in the direction of higher
prices, but the only important change was an
advance of 1c. in Sugar Trust.
Government bonds were dull and steady.
Petroleum opened weak at 987sc, but be-
came firm after the first sales, and moved up
slightly All intere st then died out
