First in Sugar Making.
-.

The Chinese, who invented almost
everything before anybody else heard of
it, claim to be the original discoveries of
the process of sugar making, and it is
said that sugar was used in China as long
ago as 5000 years. This is misty but the
fact is well established that it was manu-
featured in China under the Tsin dynasty
200 years at least before the Christian era
began India has put forward a claim
for priority of invention, but the proba-
bility is that the Hindoos learned the art
of sugar making from the Chinese and
that through them the knowledge finally
spread to the Western nations.
Nearchus, when sent by Alexander ona
exploring voyage on the Indus, brought
back reports of Fhoney'' which was
made by the Asiatics from cane without
the help of bees. At this time neither
the Greeks nor the Jews nor the Baby
louians had any knowledge of sugar, but
later the art of making the article
"heney' became known and praetieed,
though its progress. and, development was
exceedingly slow. It was prescribed as a
medicine by Galen in A D. $50, and
up to the seventeenth century it
had become nothing more than a costly
luxury to be used only on special occa-
sions Even as late as the beginning of
the eighteenth century the annual con-
sumption of sugar in Great Britain had
reached only 20 ,000 900 pounds, whereas
it is now more than2 600 900 600 pounds.
Refined sugar was not made in England
till 1859. The art of refining was learned
By Venetian merchant from the Sara
Gems, who sold the secret to him for
100 ZOO crowns.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 1O.-A dispatch from
Galesburg this morning says member OF the
engineers committee which settled the Burling-
ton strike, had told the engineers at that point
that there was a document in connection with the
settlement which had not been made public. a
reporter for the Evening Journal asked Vice
President Stone for a copy of 1t this afternoon.
Mr.. Stone said the document referred to was no
part of the agreement, but was letter to Mr..
Ripley, general manager of the Burlington road,
and that copy OF 1t had been given TO the strlk-
ers, as it showed the spirit in which the agree
ment was to be carried out. The letter read as
follows:
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan 4.
Mr.. Z. P. Ripley, General Manager.
DEAR SIR Enclosed is a copy of con4nunica-
tion which was directed to give to the committee
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and
Firemen. who have been in conference with US
to-day and which was accepted by them and they
have declared the strike settled. It is important
that question should arise to the
good faith of the company and it
should be no opportunity for such question. AS
to the meaning OF the word available, - de-
sire to say when 1t becomes necessary to emp 10y
men outside OF those now IN the service, care
must be taken to consider all the qualifications
that go to make up availability, including
perlenCe and familiarity with our surrounding
rules. In short, that the very best men are to be
selected regardless of personal reia-
lions or prejudices for or against
any man or set of men. 1t should
further be fully understood that the company
does not desire to pursue those who have been
guilty of improper conduct during the late
strike, and while such men cannot be re-eu1-
piCyed, and while we cannot give letters to
them, no officer or employee should continue the
teTfere to prevent the employment of such men.
Yours truly, lSignedl HENRY R. STONE.

at night. Yesterday they had some $500
in said drawers, but it was all taken out az the
close of the day. These drawers were open this

PITTsBURG, Pa, Jan. 10.-Five thousand
Monongahela river miners after being compelled
to remain idle for three or four months in the

afford to pay the 3 cent rate when the mines re-

and if the operators follow it with a reduction in
wages a vigorous protest against accepting it
wiz be made. The operators do not state when
they Will resume work.
