periments in the chemical laboratory with ref

The report of the chemist recites some Of the
various difficulties hitherto found in an eco

and indicates that the solution of the question
was to be found in some process which would
separate as nearly possible the gummy
amorphcus bodies from the juice without pre-
cipitating the sugar. The known property Of
alcohol TO produce precipitation in the juice
was made use of In the further study of this
problem. The difficulties. saws the report.
which have been encountered in manufacturing
sugar from sorghum juices have been solely
due TO the presence of these gums. Not only
has the removal of the gums been effected by
the process evolved during these experiments,
but il has been shown that this can he effected
at a cost comparatively triHing by comparison
with the results obtained. The article used In
precipitation can be almost wholly recovered
by subsequent installation. An appropriation
of s20.000 to carry on experiments IL asked for.
The chemist claims substantially an increase in
the yield of sugar per 1000 gallons of juice
of from an average of about 10000 pounds 20
an average of over q. 9J7 at an increase of cost
of production of ss4 for the alcohol which en-

STREET RAILROAD PEoFITs.
What Senator Ingalls, Says About Eight
Tickets for n Quarter.

Tickets for Quarter.
Now that the bill which proposes to make
local street railroads sell eight tickets for Is
cents is in the hands of the Senate District COM
mittee any expression of senatorial ideas on
the subject cannot fail to be interesting. Sena-
tor ingalls, has given the matter consideration
and in response to q STAR reporters queries
said;
80 far as the question OF destroying the
railroads profit is concerned, there are two
points of view. In the first place il is obvious
that the revenues at n scent fare. or at
six tickets for % cents, have not been
insufficient for fair return upon the capt.
tai invested and the business energy en-
ployed. Take the Washington and Georgetown
Company, for instance. / understand that the
par value of its stock il $50 Of which only
thirty has been paid in. The latest quotations
OF Its stock gives the present value as s225.
This ought to satisfy any reasonable financial
ambition. l have been informed that since
the 9TH street road was cabled. during the suIa-
mer season when travel on the river was active.
the receipts of the company sometimes ran as
high as 5000 day. My opinion is that if it
were not necessary to earn dividends on wate-ed
stock and to pay excessive salaries to super
fiuous officials fare Of / cent would give
ample returns for the capital actually invested
IN that corporation.
ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW.
"Ihe other point of view is this: That the
number of passengers is generally increased by
dimunition Of fare. / have no doubt that the
gross earnings of the roads would be greater at
the rate of eight tickets for quarter than az
the present rate of six. These are merely per-
sonal opinions and off-hand at that
The companies will be heard. and if il APP
pears that their capacity TO faithfully serve the
public will be endangered by the change pro-
posed then the present rate will be maintained.
IN FAVOR OF THE GLASGOW PLAN.
at WAS a great misfortune that at the outset
the street railway plan OF the municipal govern
ment of Glasgow. Scotland, was not adopted
here. The great franchises which here are had
for the asking are there made TO contribute TO
the support of the city. The companies pay "a
large share of their annual receipts to the local
authorities and have also to pay a rental for
the Use of the streets. They are required TO
put a certain percentage of their income into a
sinking fund and when this fund amounts to a
sum sufficient TO recoup the company for its
plant and investment the road becomes the
property of the city and is operated for the
benefit of the people. 1t is probably too late
to establish such system here. but it is evil
dent that Washington corporations-or organized
for lighting and transportation-do not pay n
fair share of taxation and do not render a Just
equivalent for the privileges they possess"

Such a collection of articles useful and

nor beautiful does not often accumulate as is
now on exhibition and for sale at Ratciiffe,
Darr & Co.'S auction rooms. 1t is the regular
sale Of the dead letter Office, this means being
taken to get rid Of the articles that have
gone astray in the mails and have
found their way finally to that great mercantile
from a soiled collar to a gold watch, from a
corset steel to box of doubtful cigars, are in
this curious agglomeratiOn.
BARGAIN HUNTERS ON HAND.
The sale began this morning at 10 o'clock
and large crowd YVES present in the hope of
picking up remarkable bargains. 1t was a
typical auction crowd, made up of people with
money and without money. On the shelves
hundreds of packages, all neatly tied up i'll
brown paper. Seven men were kept busy
handing out the purchases and taking in the cash.
Two of them with boxes fastened to the ends of
long poles took care of the customers at q dis
lance from the auctioneer's counter. The bid
ding was quite lively, considering that the peo-
pie were buying their pigs in a poke. The
prices were not large, ranging as q rule from
Is to rs cents, but every article found a pur-
chaser Mt some price.
A box of fifty cigars brought 20 cents.
GO ACROSS THE STREET TO DIE.
"Please go across the street to smoke. We
do not wish you to die on the premises" This
iocular remark of the auctioneer put the crowd
in a good humor, and as result lot IS, consist
ing of pair ladys hose, lady's handkerchief.
child's cheap silk handkerchiefs. old veil, pin
cushion, DC, brought 40 cents.
A collection of mems wooden gloves, mittens,
box microscope slides and smoking tobacco
went off for quarter.
Lot 70. cheap silk handkerchief, cheap cot
ton handkerchief, small sachet, pin cushion,
cheap cotton trimming, &C., was thought to be
a bargain at 40 cents. AbOx of twenty-five cigars
was up. "Going at so, going, going" Fifty
tve." piped up a slrill female voice at the
farther end of the room. They're yours,
a'am," said the auctioneer. But take my
advice and don't give them to your husband or
you will have to get along without his company
for the rest of the winter"
No time was wasted. There were too many
articles to be sold and everything went for
what it would bring in a hurry. There are
4.S17 miscellaneous articles in the catalogue,
1896 books and 163 pieces of jewelry, SO it will
probably take some time to finish up the sale.
