NATIONAL EDUCATORS.
Great Interest Taken I'm the subject
of kindergarten Training.

NASHVILLE, July 19.-The Educational
Association this morning listened to a
paper on "Sound- Blindness" which is
com pared to blindness, and de-
clared as prevalent and important to be
cured. Education in sound was also dis
cussed.
A notable feature of the present meet
ing of the Educational Association is the
unusual interest manifested in the sub
ject of kindergarten training. The doors
of the Masonic Theater had to be closed
this afternoon to keep back portion of
the throng. Department President
Sheldon, of Massachusetts, read
a congratulatory telegram from
Mrs. Senator Stanford, of the Golden
Gate kindergarten Association, of San
Francisco, to which suitable reply was
ordered sent by the convention. The
kindergarten in its relation to mother
hood was discussed by Mrs. Sarah
Cooper, of California, and Mrs. Putnam,
of Illinois. Colonel Parker, of Chicago.
spoke on the importance of system of
instruction in the kindergarten and
schools which would preserve the natural
innocence and purity Of early childhood.
The Board of Directors of the associa-
ton voted this afternoon to hold next
years meeting in st. Paul, Minn., if
favorable arrangements can be made.
The closing exercises tonight consisted
of an enthusiastic meeting, supplemented
with reception at the Commercial Club.
The National Committee on Resolutions
condemn the delay of Congress in pass
ing pending bills in aid of education, and
urge the necessity of increasing the pro-
posed appropriations. At IL O'Clock the
meeting adjourned sine die.

of this sum the old lady has
undoubtedly saved fully one-half during

been added to the considerable savings

ACCUMULATED SWEETNESS.
The sugar Trust Engineering a
Huge Squeeze Out.

New YORK, July 19.-The belief that
the vast quantities of refined sugar that
have been piled up in the big storage
warehouses along the Brooklyn water
front during ting past two years have been
corraled, in view of a squeeze, by the
managers of the Sugar Trust, has found
r,any supporters in financial circles.
Though for some time past this piling
I'D of the commodity was generally
known, it was supposed to be owing to
scarcity OF room in the refining buildings.
The Havemeyer & Elder, Havemeyer x
Matheson and the Wichers companies,
apparent controlling spirits of the trust,
we're the most extensive storers. On the
Stock Exchange the opinion prevails to-
day that the trust has been engineering
corner in sugar, and that ere long the
price of the refined article will be sent
up like a rocket. Wholesale grocery
houses and other consumers in this city
evidently anticipated this movement on
the part of the trust. For months back
every available inch of the store rooms
ia the big grocery houses on the west
side has been utilized for storing sugar,
q d many of the public warehouses
heretofore at this season of the year filled
with a winter supply of canned goods
have been engaged by wholesalers for
sugar storage. On the other hand,
Wall.street sugar brokers hold that
the trust has stored the sugar because
there is no market for it. Prices have
struck bottom and refiners can realize no
profit on their manufacture. 1t has been
suggested that possibly this sugar has
been accumulated to undermine Claus
Spreckels when he gets his Philadelphia
beet product refinery in operation; that
it is the intention to swamp the market
with the genuine article at low price as
soon as Spreckels turns out his first cargo.
In answer to this theory memeber
of one of the most prominent sugar con-
Germs on Wall street, but with no sffilis-
tions with the trust, said today: "What-
ever the object of storing this sugar is,
it is almost certain that Spreckels has
had hand in it. His alleged enmity to
the Sugar Trust is all moonshine. No
one on the inside supposes for an in
slant that he is going to fight a
corporation of $50 900, 900 capital. He
is with the trust hand and glove; he is
too smart business man to fight
against it"

DESTROYING ELEMENTS.
A Terrific ClOud-Burst in
West Virginia.
THROUGHOUT THE EAST.
Loss of Life and Property by Flood
and Lightning-Crimes and
Casualties.

Associated Press Dispatches TO the HERALD.
PARKERsBURa, W. Va, July 19.-The
greatest disaster which ever befell the
Little Kanawah valley came last night in
the shape of terrible cloud burst, which
has completely flooded the country, de-
stroyiug many lives, carrying off thous-
ands of dollars in property and running
crops for miles. The deluge fell here
about dusk, and continued to fall in tor
rents, doing much damage in the city.
The worst of the storm struck the lower
side of the Ksnawah, filling the small
tributaries from bank to bank, and end
ing in the worst flood within the recol-
lection of the oldest inhabitant.
The Kanawah rose six feet, and ran
out with such velocity that it carried
everything before it. At this point thou
sands OF logs and a number of boats went
out or were sunk. Mrs. Isaac
II. Tucker, Martin Lawless and an
unknown man were drowned. Above,
the destruction was still greater.
Big Tygart valley is completely
ruined. A big mill near its mouth went
out and took the Tygart bridge with it.
In the valley all the fences, crops and
much live stock we're lost. At Chester
Vile, q small town about ten miles above,
half the residences were carried oil
bodily and left in the corn fields. In
CLAW district fine church and three
dwellings were wrecked. Several steam
ers on the river were wrecked.
The storm burst on Morristown in all
it's fury, coming down on the village
at about midnight and totally destroying
it, together with many of its people.
The first report gave the loes at eleven
but later news seems to fix the loss at @
greater number. Houses are said to have
been picked up and hustled against each
other in such short space of time that
no chance to escape was given the
people.
Among those lost at Morristown are
Jake Kiger, his brothers. Joseph and
Thomas, a man named Bailey and Orr
vile West, wife and child. The body o
man, believed to be another Morris
town victim, was found on the Richard
son farm this morning.
At Pillbrush all bridges and culver's
are washed away, and it is impossible tc
reach or communicate with that point OF
any other on the upper waters. 1t is
impossible now to enumerate the loss
even here, as the river is still rising and
tearing everything loose A family boat
containing three or four persons, went
out during the night, and it is believed
all are lost.
A freight train on the Ohio River rail
road broke through trestle at Harris
Ferry, completely wrecking the train anC
fatally injuring William Neptune, an EN-
ployee. The wreck was caused by heavy
washouts.

MAJOR E. W. JONES has returned from
San Francisco. He reports that the Los
Angeles exhibit at the State Board Of
Trade in that city is not SO bad as was
reported by a correspondent OF the
HERALD, but that it is nevertheless in a
sadly defective state. Mr.. Jones read a
paper before the State Board which ex-
cited a great deal of interest in that
body. Itwas devoted to the arid land
question, and its principal features will
he reproduced in tomorrow morning. g
HERALD. The President of the Chamber
of Commerce has been indefatigable in
his efforts to collect statistics on irriga-
ton in Southern California; and, owing
to his public-spirited work, the commit

data available for forming an intelligent

SAN Francisco sugar refineries last
year turned out, of white sugar 60, ,000, 900
pounds, of brown 25,000,006 pounds, of
syrup 100000 gallons. The aggregate
value was ST., 100000. The county Of
Los Angeles could produce half dozen,
yes, half score times that amount of
sweets, and still have left good deal of
land suited to the growth of sugar
beets. 1t would be better to pro-
duce this sugar at home than
to send go much money to the Hawaiian
Islands, the Philippine and other foreign
countries. The fact is California could
easily provide the whole American Union
with all the sugar it consumes. Here is
the best opening in the world for the in
vestment of capital. If soma one would
only take the matter up, and interest the
English capitalists who are buying up all
the breweries, it would be good thing
for the State.

WE WISH to PROFOUND these queries to
the wiseacres who are tying themselves
up to the Ballons route for the outfall
sewer: where do you propose to carry
your sewer when you reach the lakes
near the Ballona beach," 'Do you pro-
pose to run it through them, around
them, or run the sewage into them ?"
The answer to these questions is of the
first importance, and we call upon the
Tribune, Express, or any of the advocates
of that route to give the information
asked for. Another question "If you
are going to fltrate, purify and deodorize
the sewage before you carry it to the
ocean, where are you going to establish
your works, where are you going to get
the money to buy the land upon which
to place them and to pay for the works
you are going to establish ?" We pause
for reply.

THE New York World Of July 18th,
devotes three columns of biographical
matter to Robert Smslls, who has just
been appointed by President Harrison
Collector of the Port of Beaufort. The
heading of the article will convey an idea
OF the biographical facts it contains,
videlicet: "ExConvict Smalls-Picked

The Santa Monica Outlook has this to

The Santa Monica Outlook has this tC
say about the outfall sewer:
A gentleman at our elbow suggests that
the cheapest way for Los Angeles to solve
this sewer problem is to run the main
sewer in southerlv direction to point
near the Los Angeles river, then put up
settling basins and deodorize the sewage.
By this means the water, which is needed,
can be used in the summer, and in the
winter can be turned into the river.
Judging from the way the Los Angeles
Council are handling this sewer problem,
they seem to be trying to make the peo-
pie believe that it is more important to
get away with the money than it is with
the sewage.
