Charity Appreciated.

A benevolent old lady who lives in a fashionable London suburb started a soup kitchen on a small scale, with the object of alleviating the distress of which she had read so much. Only eight per- sons applied for relief. One, crippled woman, continued as constant visitor Four of the applicants did not like soup Two others did not return with the jugs lent to them. The eighth was a small boy who was punctual in his attend ance, and evidently, as she believed, ap- preciated the soup. There was some- thing in his manner that aroused the sympathy of the old lady, so she inter- rogated him.
 He was a crossing street sweeper in grand square close by. He confessed that his earnings amounted tS sixteen shillings -four dollars) a weks, while his mother could earn two shillings and six pence day by charing. The old lady, who was taken aback, asked, "And do you think you ought to come here for soup?' With that frankness which is so charming in the small boy, he replied: "Well, no, don't, and that's fact, ma'am, but if you'll only give me a penny every time you walk over my crossing you can eat your soup yourself" Toronto Globe.

The capital stock of the company is one hundred thousand 100000 shares of ten t$l0) dollars each.
 One-haIf of the capital stock will be sold in the Territory of Arizona, payable in land adapted to the cultivation of sugar beets, sugarcane sorghum and sac charine products at the market price.
 The other half will be sold for cash, at not less than par, for the purpose of pur- chasing, importing and erecting machin- cry adapted to manufacturing domestic sugar.
 The fifty thousand shares reserved for the farmers can be paid for at any time within five years from the date of the organization in land or it's saccharine productions, such as sugar beets, sugar cane, sorghum, etc., etc., and the sub scribers will be entitled to draw divi- dend pro rata on payments made.
 The fifty thousand cash shares must be fully paid on delivery, and will be entitled to full dividend semi-annually.
 It is reasonably expected that the company can declare dividend of 25 per cent per annum on current business, and have some land left.
 After the capital stock shall have been disposed of and one-half fully paid in cash, the company will be authorized to issue equal to one-half of the capital stock, bonds secured by mortgage, upon all the property of the company, pay able in twenty years, with interest at the rate of percentum per annum, payable semi-annually, for the purpose of devoting the proceeds to the purchase of land, and for no other purpose; pro- vided, always, that these bonds cannot be issued nor mortgage on the prop erty executed without the approval of a majority of the shareholders.
 The Government of the United States offers to pay bounty of two cents per pound or 40 dollars per ton on domestic manufactured sugar, and to admit free of duty, until the first day of July, 1892, all machinery required for its manu- facture.
 The Territorial Legislature, at its last session, passed an act exempting all land used in the cultivation of sugar beets, as well as the plant and machin- cry employed in the manufacture of do- mestic sugar, from taxation for ten years.
 We imported from foreign countries during the last fiscal year, sugar, mo- lasses, candy and confectionery to the value of $lOl ,293, ,s26, or sent away up- wards of one hundred million dollars, which can be retained at home by en- couraging the manufacture of domestic sugar.
 The average yield of saccharine matter from sugar beets in France is only 6 per cent, in Germany 10 per cent.
 In California the average yield is l5 per cent.
 It is confdentlybelieved that the soil and sun of Arizona will yield a much larger polarization from sugar beets than France, Germany, California, or any other country and if these premises are correct, the profits will exceed that of any other sugar factory in the United States.

NIGHT.

Como with thino unveiled worlds, o truth of
 night,
 Come with thy calm, Adown the shallow
 day,
 Whose splcndors hid the vaster world away, Iwandcrcd on this little plot of light, A dreamer among dreamers. Yelled or bright, Whether tho gold shower roofed me or the
 gray,
 Istrovc and fretted at life's feverish play, And dreamed until the dream seemed infinite. But now the gateway of the all unbars; The passions and the cares that beat so
 shrill,
 The giants of this petty world disband; On the great threshold of the night stand, Once more a soul self cognizant and still, Among the wheeling multitude of stars.

@ THE ARIZONA SUGAR COMPANY O

The farmers who may subscribe to the stock of the company will have a vital and personal interest in the production of sugar beets.
 Farmers and capitalists can estimate the chances of loss and gain as we'll as the directors of the company, but it may be promised that agricultural land free from taxation forms safe investment, and that machinery which can be i'm ported free of duty and enjoys immu- nity from taxation, is only subject to loss by fire, which can be covered by insurance.
 Land in Arizona will produce at least twenty tons of sugar beets per acre, twice annually.
 The market price will depend upon the quantity of saccharine.
 Sugar beets require neither bagging nor storage; but are cash at the mill, and the company might even be able to ad- vance money on unencumbered land de- voted to their cultivation.
 It is matter of consequence in some parts of Arizona that sugar beets ex- tract alkali from the soil better than any other production.
 After supplying the home market in Arizona with sugar, molasses, confec- tions, etc., transportation is the most serious question, and the smaller bulk the production of the country can be reduced into the better for the producer.
 Sugar will bear transportation better than hay, grain, or ores.
 A sugar mill at some railway depot with capacity of 100 tons per day, at S5 per ton for sugar beets, would be a great benefit to the farmers and mer- chants of Arizona.
 The co0perative system of offering the farmers one-half of the capital stock payable in the productions required for the mill has worked well in Germany and France, and in fact the cooperative system in every country is the out growth of civilization.
 The farmers interest in the company will be guarantee to the nonresident shareholders of a viglant watch!ulness over the management, and by united ef- fort staple production may be intro duced in Arizona which will enliven the source of all permanent prosperity AGRICULTURE.
 It is not to be overlooked that after the saccharine matter is extracted from sugar beets the residium forms excellent food for sheep, cattle, hogs, poultry, etc., and nothing that comes from the soil is wasted.
 The cultivation of sugar beets may be carried on by the least intelligent labor. Indians, Mexicans, children may all be employed in transplantine the beets and gathering the crop. Only the mill re- quires intelligent labor.
 Sugar industries are being started in many States of the Union less adapted by nature to the growth of saccharine products than Arizona, and an effort on the part of the residents may encourage assistance from abroad.

DO Thoroughly Investigated.

Owing to tho ;bsence of Robert a.
Scott, Esq, from the city yesterday, the
board of police commissioners was un-
able to hold a meeting for the purpose
OF investigating certain charges against
the police force. Chief Morris has been
interchangeable in his cndeayors to secure
meeting of the hoard, and states that
it is his intention to probe the matter
to the bottom, and will insist that any
policemen shown to be guilty OF the
charges made in the Evening World
shall be properly punished.
Chief Morris has been engaged in the
task of systematizing the workings of
the force under his charge for the past
two months. and certain reforms have
been instituted lie is much ham pered
in his efforts by the inadcquacy OF the
force and the extent of territory to be
covered. more rigid discipline has
been enforced, and now that the force
has been equipped with uniforms, the
fact that policeman is on duty in any
neighborhood Will be more clearly
apparent to the captions complainers.
