cane sugar, and that will be bad for the
Sugar Trust. The consumption of sugar
in the United States is increasing year by
year. 1t now amounts to about ,450, 900
tons annually. It is nearly all imported,
and the profits on refining are estimated
at Gve-eighths Of per cent. per pound,
which gave the Trust in the past two
years profit of over S37 100000 Since
it has been discovered that beet sugar is
fully equal to cane sugar, Germany, France,
Russia and other European countries have
produced it in quantity nearly equal to
one-half the entire consumption of those
countries. The total product of beet sugar
for the year 1SS9-9O has been 3.500,000
tons, against 2,27000O tons of cane sugar
That is the principal reason why l think
that cane sugar is no longer king"

pleasure if the conditions are fairly favor

brought to bear on just this point, not to
save men the necessity of labor, bat to

American carpenter once told me that he

on, SO that he felt some pride in his labor:
and paid by the day, so that he was not
tempted to scamp" his work, he said, for
the sake of his family. Does not Edison
enjoy his toll, did not Ericsson enjoy his,
apart from all reference to the money or
fame it might yield? The artist Hayden
in his journal has noble description of
the Joy with which he paced his silent
studio after midnight, with great picture
lifted on gigantic easel, and seen by "the
trembling light of solitary candle"

with less of pious ejaculation, when the

his studio and he was at work; and so
many humber man has felt. Exchange
the canvases; set Gibbon to doing Hay

What Congo Cost.

BRUSSELS, August 6.-The Mouve-
ment GeographIque publishes a state
ment of the cost in money and lives
of the conquest of the Congo during
the eleven years from 1870 that King
Leopold has been carrying on his en-
terprise. The total number Of deaths
among the white agents of King Leo
pold in these eleven years is eighty
two. In the past six years, during
which an average of 173 white agents
have been constantly employed on
the Congo, fifty-six deaths have oc-
Cured. The largest white force was
last year when 226 white employees of
the Congo state were at work and
eleven deaths occurred, or As per
cent.
The five Belgium commercial COM
panIes trading on the Congo employ
$50 European agents and laborers,
and in the two or three years of their
existence these companies have lost
only six men by death, two of them
by accident.
The total expenditures of King Leo
pold in behalf of the Congo posses
sions in the past eleven years have
been about 100000 1t is argued
from these figures that, consid ering
the ultimate value of the Congo, the
cost of opening the country has thus
far been remarkably small.

REMINDERS ELECTROCUTION.
A CHASTITY Horror-Faulty Elec-
trodes, Not Instant, but Slow
TOrrnre


AUBURN, n. Y, August 6.-The
trial OF q new means of taking hui
man life, while prompted by humane
motives, resulted in sickening spec
tacle presented by pinioned wretch,
at whosevital centre was kept pound
ing for some moments an alter
mating current of electricity which,
thought ultimately destroyed his life,
subjected the criminal to the torture
of which no living being has knowl-
edge, which none can describe. The
imperfect registry of the current
pressure, or faulty con tact of the cleo
trodes prevented instan tan eous
death. The laymen may gain some
conception of the process OF this kill
ing, when the statement is made that
a person, whose body should be
shaken into fragments, could not
suffer such pain as Kemmeler, whose
nerve cells and tissues were disinteg-
rated, not in flash as designed, but
by the relatively slow strokes of
the electric hammers upon them,
whether the blood yet contains its
normal consistency or whether it is
partially or wholly fluidized, by the
divorce of the oxygen from the blood
corpusles can only be determined by
the autopsy, which is about to be
commenced. Only a deliberate pen
can adequately describe the scenes.
Kemmeler's nerve was something
wonderful; he never faltered.
He directed the adjustment of
himself in the chair, and coun-
seled the warden to modera-
ton to secure perfect safety. The
shock was given at 3:43 IL and was
continued about Is seconds. Two
minutes after the current was cut of
there was evidence of respiration. AS
soon as possible the current was re-
turned, then cut off and again respi-
ration was evident after a few mo-
ments. Saliva came from the mouth,
the chest heaved, there was a Wheel
ing in the throat. The shock was
again put to the prisoner, who,
the doctors remarked was uncon-
scious from the moment of the first
shock after short time smoke APP
peared from the back, the flesh was
burning. The spectacle was most
trying, the man, the doctors said
suffered no pain, however. The war
den says the voltage at the first shock
was 800 volts which ran down to a
point not named. After the third
contact of four minutes the man
was declared dead. The war
denis certificate of death was
signed by all present, and the party
broke up at 7:30 to meet at Sis. when
the body would be ready for the
autopsy. When the mask was taken
off Kemmeler's face, the eyes were
found half open and the expression,
while not normal or placid, was not
borrifying to see.

Fred. Durrlnger, sur erintendent of

yesterday, billed to Marathon, Maria

The Southern Pacific people are
contemplating u change of the time
schedule that Will give their special
stock train No. a shorter run by
two hours. The advantage of this
is obvious.
Some people expect a war in pas
senger rates, to be inaugurated soon,
on account of the g. A. r. encamp-
ment in Boston. The way the rates
were slashed on the occasion of the
X. of p. convention in Milwaukee is
an example, when the rate dropped
to SIS. While the roads are cutting
each others thrOats, Is the time to
travel, and If the anticipated war in
New York rates Is inaugurated, the
metropolis can be visited for merely
nominal figure.
The exceedingly low figures, to
which st. Louis and New York rates
have fallen, ON account of the recent
war, has given a tremendous impetus
to shipments TO Texas common points.
A number of San Antonio merchants
have taken advantage of this low
state of rates, to lay in great stocks of
goods, which will begin to arrive as
the rates go out of effect, which they
do on the 18th inst.
