South Broad street, from jackson
street to the navy yard gates, was the
scene Of foot race the other day, the
prize being the pretty daughter Of q
sailors washerwoman. For some time
Barney Burns, Q marine, and George
Lindsay, sailor on board the receiving
ship st. Louis, which is stationed at
League island, have been enamored Of
the bright eyed daughter of the woman
who does their washing. The men were
friends and the girls affections seemed
to be about evenly divided on the two
ardent lovers. How to decide with
which of the two she should cast her lot
was difficult problem, but the happy
thought Of foot race presented itself
The arrangements were perfected and
at 8 O'Clock the contestants appeared
upon the course, which was two miles
long, accompanied by large crowd who
had been advised of the contest. Burns
stands 6 feet 8 inches in height and
weighs about 200 pounds, while his op-
ponent, Lindsay, is 1.-THE and fwillowy;
and the sports in the crowd were not
long in determining upon the latter as
the favorite. II As9e.

tracks Of the Greenwich Point extension

upon Burns wind, however, and he
dropped behind, and when Lindsay
reached the end Of the goal his com
petitor was not in sight. The washer
woman's daughter will now become Mrs.

Mckinley Prices on Doughnuts.

While was in Spokane Falls the Mo Kinley bill struck the woodpie.' A man who for years had brought wood down from the mountains at the usual price of S4 q cord announced one morn ing that the price had risen to $5. When asked why, he answered, "Well, you know everything is gone up since the Mckinley bill" But few days later his sales fell off and he was glad to get back to the old price of $4 cord. While was at Tacoma a dilapidated specimen of humanity, who had evi- dently been on an all night debanch, staggered one morning at daybreak into low restaurant which runs all day and all night He called for coffee and doughnuts. From the time when . drunken mans memory runneth not to the contrary four doughnuts had const. tuted portion. But this time the waiter appeared with cup of coffee and three doughnuts.
 What do you mean by bringing me only three doughDutsy' exclaimed tht surprised customer.
 Why, sir," stammered the waiter, "you see since the McKin"--
 Up sprang the irate customer, and seimng the waiter by the collar exclaimed with an oath: Boy. if you undertake t work that air racket onto me I'll knocl your two eyes into one. Bring me thai other doughnut-"
 And the other doughnut came.-Josepf Nimmo, Jr., in New York Tribune.

The capital stock of the company is one hundred thousand 100000 shares of ten ($1O) dollars each.
 One-hali 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 a divi- dend pro rdta 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; p1o- vided, always, that these bonds cannot be issued nor mortgage on the prop erty executed without the approval of 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 it's manu- facture.
 The Territorial Legislature, at its last session, passed an act exempting all land used in the cultivation of sugar beets. as we'll 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 $1O1 ,293 3,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 much larger polarization from sugar beets than France, Germany, California, or any other country; and if these premises are correct, the profits willexceed that of any other sugar factory in the United States.

English View of the Tin Plate "Myths.' '

English View of the Tin Plate "Myths."
 From the London Iron Mnger.l
 The American manufacturers will have many difficulties to contend with, no doubt, but the tariff will make the homo market we'll worthy of being stren- uously fought for. and they have accom- plished too much already in Inetallurgy to be daunted by process such as tin plate making. We do not indulge in prophecy, but if we did we should be inclined to forecast that within three years from now a great many tin plStes will be made in the United States. As natural sequence of that impression, We would advise the Welsh manufact- urers to lose no time in endeavoring to open up new markets
 From the London Financial Times-l
 Yankee boastfuiness is so proverb bial that Englishmen are apt to neglect the substratum of truth that frequently un- derlies it. Nevertheless the leaders of the tin plate industry on this side of the Atlantic would do well not to underrate the importance of the latest industrial movement in the states. We have in our favor the great advantages of devel- oped resources, skilled worknen and es- tablished plant, but the Americans can command unlimited supplies of raw ma terial and are second to none in the en- terprise and mechanical skill. If, under the increased tariff that will shortly come into force, we are to retain our command of the United States market, union between masters and men is essen tial

When Free-Trsde Genes.

The members of the British Iron and Steel institute, all experienced mann. lecturers, after their extended tour of observation through American industrial centers, testify that owing to the high rate of wages in this country American manufactories could not continue with out Protection. When tohde comes, and the American workingmsn sits on the fence and looks up at the snaoatesoss ehinneys of the silent factory which had furnished him ths means of kesping himself and family in comfort and re- poctabihty, it will be sorry consolation for him to reflect that it's owner, the

@ THE ARIZONA SUGAR COMPANY O

The farmers who may subscribe to the stock of the company will have vital and personal interest in the production of sugar beets.
 Farmers and capitalists can estimate the chances of loss and gain az 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 im- 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 prlce will depend upon the quantity of saccliarine. Sugar beets require neither mgging nor storage; but are cash dt the miU, 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, contec- tions, etc., transportation is the most serious question, and the smaller bulk the production oi 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 $5 per ton for sugar beets, would be 8 great benefit to the farmers and mer- chants of Arizona.
 The cooperative 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 vigilant watchfulness 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 alter 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 transplsnting 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.
