sugar because there is no market for it.
The prices have struck bottom, and the
refiners can realize no profit on their maa-
ufacture.
1t has been suggested that possibly the
sugar has been accumulated to undermine
Claus Spreckels when he got his Philadel-
phia beet product refinery in operation;
that it was the intention to swamp the
market in the genuine article az low
price as soon as Spreckels turned out his
first cargo. In answer to this theory a
member of one of the most prominent
sugar concerns in Wall street, but with no
affiliations with the trust, said today:
Whatever the object of storing this
sugar is, it is almost certain that Spreckels
has hand in it. His alleged enmity to
the sugar trust is all moonshine. No one
on the inside supposes for an instant that
he is going to fight a corporation OF SOL, o00,-
600. He is with the trust hand and glove.
He is too smart business man to fight
agaisnt it."

a Raj at His Chin.

In an old house situated on Hamilton
street resides Bohemian family. The
house stands a short distance from the
water, and is infested with large wharf
rats. On Saturday night last the mother
was aroused about midnight by the
screams of her @year-old child, who was
sleeping beside her. The child had rolled
down beneath the bedclothing to the CEN
ter of the bed, and the mother reached
down to lift the child up. In doing so
her hand came in contact with huge
rat. She Immediately dropped it with a
scream. The rat dashed across her body,
leaped to the floor aud disappeared
through large rat hole in the room,
which had been previously covered, but
the rodent was strong enough to force
the covering from the place. The child
was bitten on the arm, bu. not severely,
as its screams probably caused the rat to
pause. On Sunday night Andrew Toudy,
boarder In the same building, was
awakened about midnight by feeling of
suffocation. His first impression was
that a burglar had entered the room and
grasped him by the throat. But to his
horror he discovered huge rat standing
on his neck, its teeth buried In his chin,
and the rat calmly sucking his blood.
The young man jumped up with cry Of
alarm, and, grasping the rodent by the
back, he hurled it 10 the floor and dis
patched it.-Bridgeport Comm Farmer.
