NEW York, June 30.-At a meeting
of the sugar refneries company today
Theodore A. Havemeyer. Charles o.
Foster and j. E. S~earles, Jr.. were en-
powered to elect William +. Havemeyer,
William Dick and Charles o. Foster as
trustees. Ii was announced that proxies
for 235, 942 certificates bad been received,
which insares the existing management
retaining control. A statement prepared
by the trustees was read stating that they,
with counsel, had under consideration a
plan for the reorganization Of the COM
pany to meet all the requirem snts of state
laws. The statement called attention TO
the fact that the court of appeals decision
was technical. While it opposes monopo-
lies 1t did not attack the principle OF pool
ing the business of kindred interests.
Col. j. G. Ref asked for a financial
statement of the company's affairs He
demanded as a minority ~orrtlncAte holder
to Inspect the books. He was referred
to the treasurer, who, the chairman said.
would furnish such information as was
thought proper to make public. Theo-
dore A. Havemeyer said informally that
the BUYERS of certificates should have in
formed themselves before that the cor
po. arlon was not conducted like a railway,
1t was not to be expected that the earn
ings. etc, would be made public, though
they were accessible to all certificate
holders.

STOCKHOLM, June 30.-A remarkable
piece of history has come t rough a pri-
vate letter from Nice. 1t concerns our
wo~hd-renowned singer, Christine Nilsson.
She has been stopping in Nice for some
time, and her presence there has been one
of the attractions of the place. But one
thing that causes more surprise thar any
thing yet heard is that Nilsson is a help
less worshipper at the gambling shrine.
She has become fascinated with play and
is drawn to the tables as if they we're
magnets. The most of her time is spent
ia that fashionable gambling hell. Monte
Carlo. She plays, says the writer, Re
verishly, and loses at times large sums of
money, However great they are she has
no care, but keeps at the play Indifferent
to everything except the rolling gold on
the table" People used to say that the
fair Christine's one love was gold. She
exhibits the same tendency in her gam
bling, but is buoyed up with the hope
OF winning fabulous sums. The letter
further says that Nilsson has undergone a
remarkable change, She is showing age
and begins to look emaciated. A grayisk
pallor now overspreads her once beautiful
face. As a songstress she will never ap-
pear in public again. 1t is rumored that
the deafness which came on about two
years ago Is becoming more severe.

The voyager cannot be provided with a
safer remedy and protective medicine
than Hostetter's Stomach Bltters. Album
dant testimony exists to prove that it
n~ulliies hurtful climatic Influences and
the effects Of exposure, that it reconciles
the stomach to -unaccustomed food, and
prevents injurious results from impure
water. Mariners, tourists, emigrauts and
miners have all contributed their quota Of
testimony in its behalf, and its protective
influence has been most efectually dem.
onstrated in regions and under conditions
where, if not really effective, that fact
would long since have been exposed. In
no class Of disorders have its remedial
and preventive properties been more con.
~spicuously shown than in cases of mala-
rial levers, maladies for which it is the
most popular specific in existence. both
here and in the tropics, where its reputa
ton is scarcely second to that which il
enjoys on this continent. 1t is, moreover

viii Mr.. Blaine Leave the CabInetf
WASHINGTON, June 30.-The in
slider on administration news has again
got hold OF the probability that Secre-
tary Blaine's stay in President Harrison 8
cabinet is not likely to continue long"
The reason given is that Mr.. Blaine is
ambitious of representing the conserya
tive thought OF the country. and of his
W parry in particular, upon the tariff
and other matters Of national interest.
BE cannot consistently do this aud re
main a member of an administration
which radically differs from him, and tor
this reason the prediction is freely made
that within a brief period be will tender
his resignation as a member of the presi-
dents political household. Mr.. Blaine's
objections to the national election bill
now pending in the house are also cited.
Ii appears from a review OF the alleged
reasons which may lead to the secretary
of state resigniug that the administration
does not radically differ from him at all,
but that the difference of opinion is en-.
tirely with the legislative branch of the
government. Until congress has had
time to pass definitely on the reciprocity
and kindred ideas of Mr.. Blaine it is
rather premature to talk about the party
not being in sympathy with him.

any suggestion that interfered with the
