The Organization OF the Sugar Trust and
It's Effect.
Even Spectators Shaky About
Buying Its Certificates.
Moro Than SS,OOO,O 900 OF Profit That
the Poor People Have Paid.

The audacity Of the men controlling the
great Sugar Trust is bey ond comprehension"
said n retail grocer this morning.
"Theso men band themselves together for
the purpose of taking an unfair advantage Of
their follow.men. They form corners in
articles OF necessity, and then by their con-
spiracy steal right an left without regard 10
what pain and deprivation is suffered by
their victims.
That they should be allowed to continue
such operations is n gross outrage. and is, l
think. a matter which should he brought to
the attention of the courts at as early a date
as possible,
The Trust was organized in the Fall of
1887, for the purpose of raising the price of
sugar to n figure Ivy which the manufacturers
could earn a living profit. That meant TINT
sugar was 20 lie sold for q half cent more
thnn they had been getting. IL was not very
long before they wanted u lite moro " liv-
ing profit and they made another increase.
Since, then thov have been raising their
rates right along, and there is no telling
when they will stop.
" Their living rroft' has become no.
thing more than a CI ante piece of eNtortiOn.
Just think OF 1t, So, go. 600 profit in less than
five months.
do they call that a living profit? 1t is
very easy to see how they do II when We see
the amount of sugar that is used. AZ the
present price charged families are taxed at
the rate of all n year.

n black eye the other day. II we had more
such determined officials like Judges Daniels
and Barrett there would be- less OF this mo-
nopoly gong on.
THE time will come, l think, when the
Trust will DO disr, pied. either by the laws

During the Republican Convention held at
Chicago a year ago last mouth, n couple OF
friends and myself hired a sailboat with tho
intention of having some sport fishing in
Lake Michigan. While sailing around the
Government pier we threw out our lines, aud

them in, baiicd and all, and shot them out

Charmed the Fish with Song.

Paddy Duffy, of Squankum, was the best
fisherman that 1 ever knew. He didn't con-
fine himself TO the old time-worn methods of
using poles, lines, spoons or any such clap
trap. Not he. His plan was to row out to
the middle of the fats that border S%quankum
and anchor his boat, after which he would
seat himself placidly on the bow, with his
feet dangling Town each side. while with a
stout hickory club firmly grasped in his
right hand he would sing in q Iond night
m~are-suggesting voice a son of which l only
remember the first verse. 1t was:
Dan Hooley. the Singer, from Banches Dixie.
Was walkin' from Dublin and spoilin' fur fight
Says he: 'Show me the man
That will stand forninst Dan.
An I'll show you his corpse i'll a minute"
There was something either in the words
or music of this SONG that pleased the fish
very much. They came in hundreds and
assembled around Paddy with their mouths
wide open with admiration. When he saw
one that looked particularly large and tempt
ing down would come the hickory club on its
head.

THE PEANUT CROP.
Ii PromlHcs to Exceed Last Yenr's-Wherc
Peanuts Are Grown.

Peanuts Are Grown.
The consumption Of peanuts i'll this country
amounted to $500, 900 bushels last season,
and this year It promises to exceed that number.
II is surprising how that product Of the soil has
obtained such n firm hold on the palates Of the
American citizen, for, according to an exchange,
there are hundreds of farmers in Virginia,
North Carolina and Tennessee. in which States
most Of the peanuts are grown. who this season
have planted nothing but corn and peanuts.
The peanut singly Is O light and airy triiie. but
in numbers II il a vast resource of agriculture
and commerce. Its food properties are great,
and q rich, precious oil IL i'll every kernel. Dur
ing the peanut harvest the people, the picanin-
MES, the dogs. pigs and nearly everything that
are planted at corn-plantinK time each kernel
produce a running vine like crab grass, and
each root develops about twenty pods. When
ripe the plough is run through the loamy soil. on
u dry day Just before frost. The nuts are dried
and shocked up like corn to keep dry before
housing. When marketed they go TO a cleaner,
where they are put through EteGm-power ma
chimes and polished, after which they are graded
according to SIZE aud variety.
Baltimore distributes 800, 600 bushels. or a
little less than one-tourth OF the entire crop,
GI2ntrolllng the goods that go to Pennsylvania,
Mest, Virginia. Ohio, Michigan and Minnesota.
New York gets her peanuts from Norfolk. The
crops begin to come into market about Sept. 1.
The virginia nut j.. largest and finest. The
Wilmington is q smaller sort, and the Spanish
nut, a It II smaller variety, is one whose Kernels
peel perfectly clean, thus making q valuable
article for confectionery.

After Many Years.

In the summer Of 1867 l went fishing. I
had my baby boy with me. The fishing was
not much good, SO l tied my line to a email
bush while waiting for a bite. My wife be-
coming lonesome called us to the house. and
| forgot oil about the line. l never thought
about it until last week. when on reading the
fishing stories in HE EVENING Word, 1 went
to see what had become of my line and hook.
l took my 10y with me NOW twenty-three
years old, to take q look at the place we had
been fishing. The bush had grown into q
large tree. The line had got as thick as a
clothes line, and there vas a sturgeon on tie
hook weighing seventy-four pounds. This
can be proved by myself.

Four Hundred Million Collisions
Daily.

Daily.
Observations of falling stars have
been used to determine roughly the
average number of meteorites which
attempt to pierce the earth's atmos-
phere during each twenty-four hours,
DR.. Schmidt, of Athens, from obser-
vations made during seventeen years,
found that the mean hourly number
of luminous meteors visible on a
clear moonless night by one observer
was fourteen, taking the time of OBJ
servation from midnight to I a. m.
It has been further experimentally
shown that a large group of observ-
ers who might include the whole no.
rizon in their observations would see
about six times as many as are visi-
BILE to one eye. Professor H. A.
Newton and others have calculated
that, making all proper corrections,
the number which might be visible
over the whole earth would be lit
tie greater than 10000 times as
many as could be seen at one place.
From this we gather that not less
than o,ooo,o 900 luminous meteors fall
upon our planet daily, each of which
in a dark clear night would present
us with the well-known phenomenon
of a shooting-star.
This number, however, by no
means represents the total number of
minute meteorites that enter our at
mosphere, because many entirely Ing
visible to the naked eye are often
seen in telescopes. 1t has been cal
culated that the number of meteor
ties, if these were included, would be
increased at least twenty-fold; this
would give us 400, ooo,o 900 Of meteor
ties falling in the earth's atmosphere
daily. Norman Lockyer, in Har-
ber'S Magazine for March.
