THE SUGAR COMBINE.
Havemeyer's Treaty With Spree
keIS.


PHILADELPHIA, Apri. 8. - The
Record says: After fight of over
three years Claus Spreckels anc
the Sugar Trust have come to ar
understanding by which there will
be no further competition between
them. The negotiations, which
have been going on for some time
now at New York and again a,
San Francisco, were virtually con
Guided in this city Sunday.
Theodore Havemeyer of New
York, President of the Sugar Trust
went through the big refinery Of
Spreckels on that day and made a
careful examination of it. Searles oil
New York, secretary of the trust
and other gentlemen interested in
1T were also IN the city, and it is
understood the agreement reached
at San Francisco last week between
Claus Spreckels and J. Craig Have
meyer was Endorsed. By this agree
ment Spreckels is not to sell his
sugar in that part of the country
east of the Missouri River and the
Havemeyers are not to invade the
territory west of the Missouri.
The trusts refinery in San Fran
cisco and that belonging to Spreck-
els are to alternate monthly in
closing, and in this way it is ex-
pected the production on the Pa
cific coast can be 80 regulated that
there will be no difficulty in main
tanning prices.
When asked what effect the
agreement would have upon the
Philadelphia refinery, Claus Spreck-
els, Jr., while admitting combina-
ton on the Pacific coast, said it
would not affect the refinery here.
"There has been no combina-
tion," he said, "by which the pro-
duction and price of sugar at our
Philadelphia refinery will be regu-
lated according to any understand
ing with the trust. The refinery
will remain independent"
Recent events have put Claus
Spreckels in a position where he
can force his terms on the trust.
He has secured the greater part of
the sugar crop of the Sandwich
Islands, and made a large sum of
money by the removal of the duty
on raw sugar.
President Havemeyer of the
Sugar Trust returned to New York
to-day, after arranging the details
of the combination with Speckels.
Notwithstanding the assertion of
Claus Spreckels, Jr., that the Phila-
delphia refinery will not be affected
by the deal, it is believed in the
sugar trade that steps will be sure.

An Oufraee.

Mr.. EDITOR: l think it is about
time that something should be
done to insure safety and quietness
around the neighborhood of the
Portuguese Mission Church. Last
Sunday night the meeting was dis
turbed by persons from the out
side, hooking the singing and
throwing old tin cans about, and
lastly by throwing stones and
hitting the church building. If the
Marshal of the Kingdom would at
tend to it and bring the guilty
person or persons to justice, be
would win the gratitude of that
congregation.
Thanking you for your valuable
time and space, yours,
A. V. PETERS.

The Growth of the Skeleton.

When growth is attained the skeleton,
having reached its proportions, any ad.
verse influence affecting the lymphatic
system or nutritive supply in any way
tends to produce leanness. A well de.
veloped man having drunk I've by acct
dent, after a prolonged illness and recov,
cry found himself a living skeleton. A
dissection Of this man after death dis,
closed the fact that the thoracic duct
had been nearly closed up.
The earliest recorded example of this
class was Claude Ambrose Seurat, born
at Troyes, France, April 10, 1877. Ac-
cording to the account, at his birth there
was nothing in his appearance that indi-
Gated disease, but in proportion as he
grew in size lfs flesh gradually wasted
away.
On the other hand, any influence
which stimulates the nutritive mechan-
ism unduly degrades the seeretive and
assimilative functions and tends to pro
duce abnormal fat. The living skeleton,
with his limited capacity for food and
assured income as Il freak, enjoys some
degree Of happiness, but the fat person
deserves commiseratiOn. The statistics
of this class are quite eXtensive.-New
York Times.

One OF Twa:n's Stories.

Here is a story Mark Twain recently
told an English interviewer who wanted
to learn all about American humor: ga
clergyman in New York was requested
by a man to come yer to Brooklyn to
oficiate at his wife's funeral. The clergy
man assented, only STIMULATING that there
must be no delay, as he had an ilnpor-
tant engagement the same day. At the
appointed hour they al met in the parlor.
The room was crowded with sCbbing peo-
pie. The clergyman stood up ove the
coffin and began to read the service, when
he felt a tug at his coat tails, and bend
ing down he heard the widower whisper
in his ear, We amt ready yet
Rather awlwardly, he sat down in a
dead silence. Presently he arose again,
and the same thing took place. a third
time he arose, and the same thing &C.

whispered back: why are you not ready?

Her enemies said that she inflicted the
troubles she foretold, her friends that she
was a surprising medium through which
the future revealed itself. She undeubt-
edly hit the truth in many instances.
For example, she happened to be at a
lady's house in her travels and upon
opening her book declared that a coffin
appeared between her lines. Her nearer

Sherman's Remarkable Dream.

Writers who have busted themselves
picking up anecdotes and incidents OF
the life of Sherman appear to have
wholly overlooked the story Of his re-
markable dream. 1t is as follows:
One night the general took refuge in
an old farmhouse and had fallen into a
deep sleep when he was visited by a
most exciting dream. He fancied that
the house in which he slept was u
rounded by a band of guerillas, who had
dug a hole beneath the room in which he
lay, filled it with powder and touched If
off. The explosion that followed was
terrible, and the general thought he saw
himself flying through the air in Sec
tons. The shock Of this terrible expert
ence caused him to jump to the middle
of the floor.
Hastily dressing lie left the building.
He had not gone far into the night when
a red glare shot up from the farmhouse,
followed By a terrible explosion. The
building was wrecked, but the dream
had saved the life of the great general.

4 Word hout Dress Goods and
What IS to BE Worn.

It is safe to say that Dress Goods
is a subject that is now agitating the
minds Of the, trading public IN view
of the approaching autumn season.
Doubtless many = perusing the
leading fashion magazines and &C.
quainting themselves with the best
information as to what will be worn,
the cost Of the goods, etc so that
good taste and economy will be hap
PLY blendd. Adaptability is one of
the prerequisites Of dress. Ofcourse
what would suit one lady would not
suit another. This idea has been
fully carried out in the selection of
our Dress Goods for the fall trade.
Attend our opening on Monday, Sep
tember 81, and see if the correct
things in Dress Goods will not be
shown in the way of rich Plalds and
Stripes, and attractive things in
rough effects which are now in vogue
Polka Dots, Camels' Hair, English
Serges, Bedford Cords, Diagonals,
Fancy Robes, Broad cloths, Plain
Hcnriettas, etc. Over 100 dress pat

confidence we believe our stock will
please You and a hearty welcome is
extended to attend our opening.

why He Was Eccentric.

Once upon d time l came under the
banner Of British eccentrics. | paid a
visit to Crete, a Turkish island by the
Levant, and, not finding the hotel of the
capital to my mind, with the aid of some
kindly Intermediates, l hired q house in
the country, and went thither to take up
my abode alone. To make matters
worse, it was at an epoch when the
island was disturbed by revolt. The
Turkish regiments were being increased
by new levies, and great was the activi-
ty on the various military exercising
grounds outside Canea and Gambia, the
two chief towns.
However, nothing serious came Of it,
and / AIN free to confess that | enjoyed
my unconventional biyouac none the less
for the flavor of excitement that this out
break in the island lent to it.
"How original! Just like an English
mani" remarked one of the officers of the
Austrian ironclads ut that time anchored
with the international fleet in Suda bay.
Yet, | believe, as Il matter Of fact, that
he and some Of his brethren envied me
