Tomorrow the price of sugar is expected
to drop. There are about ten cars of SUI
gar in bond here now standing on the
tracks. The local dealers in sugar are not
looking for a reduction in price common
surate with the elimination of the tariff
duty. Some go so far as to say that there
will be no reduction whatever. A conserv-
ative dealer said last night: II look for
reduction at first of not over / cent on
the pound, but it will not be long before
the sugar trust will have it up to the same
old price"

something of peacemaker, as he does not
let people see the book unless they state

A local cigar dealer said to an EAGLE rep
resentative yesterday: You know that
the taste of acigar is in half the way it is
lighted and the best cigar may be spoilt by
burning it poorly The big manufacturers
of cigars send us the fancy lighters
usually with two little vessels at
each side with wire-sponges in them
which are to be filled with alcohol with
little lamp burning above. Now. nave
noticed that you have to fill the
vessel on the right hand three
times where you do the one on the left.
The reason OF this is that most people are
right-handed and but very few use the
left. The manufacturers have got onto
this and now make the lighters with only
one receptacle for alcohol. l received one

Three ministers called at the Jail Sun
day afternoon to offer consolation to the
men. Thomas, the horse-thief,
and Pecorra. the handsome Italian, were
taken to the penitentiary. Pecorra, who
has shown such an abandoned, careless
front all through his trial aud who re-
ceived his sentence with merry twinkle |
IN his eye and smile on his face, broke |
down when the sheriff came TO take hin, |
10 Leavenworth. The dreary length of ten |
years imprisonment at hard work stared |
him in the face mole fiercely than it had |
yet. He is a man who loved liberty SO |
much that he came to abuse of it and it |
will go hard with him. When a man is |
built strong, like Pecorra, and has no /
rade, the authorities at the pen |
Tertiary put him lin the coal |
