The Sugar Trust and the Cuban Sugar
Market.

The Havana Weekly Report has the fol-
lowing: According to recent cablegram
from the American sugar refining company
to their agents in this place, all centrifu-
gated sugars bought for their account must
be of good quality, if possible, of No. H. D.
s., or better, and free of mixture of mo-
lasses or any other eXtraneous substance;
all sugars which are not as stated or have
been manufactured by any other process
than the usual ones will be rejected. Fur
Their advices make US know that two car
goes from Central Constancia were rejected
in New York by the trust, and Messrs.
Apeztegula, as well as other planters who
had adopted the process OF mixing molasses
with cane juice, have been compelled, de-
spite the satisfactory results thereby OBJ
tanned, to give it up al once. The deter
mination of the sugar refining company has
taken everyone here by surprise, inasmuch
as the sugars obtained by the new process
have been carefully examined and analysed
BY competent parties, who have declared
them pure of all sorts of spurious matters
and of as good q quality as those manufact-
ured by any other process -

New YORK, May 22-'The general i'm
preston is that gold exports have nearly
ended. About 81 900, 900 are expected to go
out tomorrow, as a result OF engagements
already made, but the Inability to sell any
large amount of exchange will, it is
thought, prevent any further Withdrawals.
The report was current in the board early
that Barring, Magown & Co. had cancelled
their engagements to ship 81, 900 600. which
was taken from the sub-treaSury YESTERDAY

New YORK, May 22.-The stock market
displayed unprecedented activity and
strength as the result of to-day's oper-

evening. Rumors of all kinds were afoat;
one, that the Bank of England had reduced
its premium on American gold, was espe-
Cially influential in connection with buying.
\ check was given to the upward move
ment in the first hour, and while the
traders We're fighting the rise with all the
vim in their power, the West appeared in
the market as 4 buyer and, notwithstand-
ing adverse influence, squirt was made in
the early afternoon which carried prices
up rapidly and materially, the net advance

tracing shares. This rise brought every
thing up TO higher figures than have been
maintained in many days. While there
was usual realization of profits on the ad-

only slight impression upon prices, and
even this was neutralized before the close

HANDY MUSIC HOLDER.
A Suitable Gift for a Musical Friend

suitable Gilt Tor a Musical Friend.
Comparatively few people have real
" convenient receptacle for sheet music.
The rest of the world either piles it on
the piano, where it gets dusty and is al
ways untidy, or put it away in some in
convenient place, all kinds together, so
that if one wants a song it must be
found after searching through studies
dance music, sonatas, etc.
The good way to keep sheet music
classified and free from dust is to have
several envelopes, one for each kind of
music. Make them of gray linen, or of
blue or brown denim, two inches
larger than a sheet of music. Bind all
the seams and edges with harmonizing
DR. contrasting silk braid, and with the
same colored embroidery silk work one
word to designate the style of music to
be found within, as Songs" Dance
Music" symphonies, or whatever
music is used by the individual or fami-
ly. If preferred, these envelopes may
be stiffened with pasteboard and lined.
This will make them much more dura-
BILE. If made in this way the pieces
should first be bound with the braid,
and then over-handed neatly and strong
ly together.
Light brown denim, bound with darker
brown braid and worked with brown
silk, would be neat or blue denim with
blue decorations or gray linen with red
or deep gold color. In default of regu-
lar music cabinet these envelopes may
lie on any table, or on chair standing
beside the piano, or even on the piano
itself.
A set of these music envelopes would
be a very welcome gift for friend de-
voted to the divine art in any of It's
| orms-Harper's Bazaar.

For he whistles down the shadows that the
jealous years have cast,
and in whistng of the present he has whistled
up the past.
have heard the blackbirds whstling on q
swaying maple bough,
And have heard the plowmen whistle rs they
walked behind the plow;
have heard the mournful meadow.larlt whose
whistle is a wall,
And well know the whistle OF the brown and
bonny quail;
Yet none of these may enter in the city's grimy
walls
Where the crash Of wheels is constant and the
yelling smok appals,
But the trilling of the schoolboy seems to bring
them back to me
And see an old red schoolhouse by a gnarled
wild cherry tree;
Eor his whistling tells Of happiness unmixed
with cares alloy,
And mark amid his shrilling lilts 1 whistled
when boy.

There's well.sweep in the distance and an

And the pinlswhite apple blossoms nod this
message from each bough:
"School Is over for the summer, school is over
over now"
Whistle, whistle, they are coming all my happy
boyhood days,
With the sound of running waters, and the
winding wooded ways
Whistle whistle, now he ceases-and yon sun

The ArtIsts Were on.

When the Alabama was destroyed by
che Kearsarge, in 1864, there was, of
course, great rejoicing in the Northern
states, and complimentary tributes were
abundantly showered on Capt Winslow
for his achievement. A Earge oil-paint-
ing OF the battle was presented to Sec
retary Seward. 1t represented the
Kearsarge, with flying aolors in the
foreground; the Alabama, half-sub-
merged, in the middle distance. One
day when Capt Winslow went to call
upon the secretary, his attention was
drawn to the picture, and he was ques-
toned concerning its fidelity in matters
of detail. He replied that it correctly
delineated the state of the Sky and sea
on that day, and that the portrait of the
KeaI sarge was very good one. Here
he paused, and some one asked: But
what else, captain? Is there anything
wrong?" Yes" said the veteran sailor
with emphasis. 81 wish these artists
would not always represent the Ala
bama as smaller than the Rearsarge,

Conspiracy to Murder.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. Alt is stated that
a conspiracy has been discovered to
murder Chinese woman and her hus-
band, to obtain possession of the estate
of Fong Gee, wealthy Chinese who
was killed here several weeks ago. A
number OF Chinese merchants here claim
an interest in the estate, whose claims
are contested by Gees daughter, Lulu,
and her husband. The chief Of police
today warned the Chinese merchants
that he would hold them personally re-
sponsible if any harm was done to Lulu
in any way. It is supposed that it was
the intention of the merchants to hire
highbinders to murder the woman and
her husband.
