A curious aud interesting calculation
has been made by Prof. Rogers, Of Wash
ingson, d. c., on the dynamic power Of
coal. According TO the professor, a sin.
gle pound OF good steam coal has within
itdynamic power equivalent to the work
OF one man for one day. Three tons oi
the same coal represents mans labor
for IL period of twenty years, and one
square mile OF seam Of coal, having a
depth OF four feet only, represents as
much work as one million men can per-
form in twenty years! Such calculations
as the above may serve to remind US how
very wasteful our methods of burning
fuel must be, in spite Of all that has been
Gone by inventors in the way of econ
omy.

Beet Sugar.

st. Louis Republic Sometimes the
people OF the United States are very
much surprised at the magnitude OF
some enterprises and products when
confronted by figures. Few, very few
people, wonld have believed that the
importations OF beet sugar from Ger
many to this country amounted to the
enormous sum OF 100000, 900 per
annum. We wonder how it could hap
pen that a country so far north as the
German empire could produce so much
sugar. A German need not be a very
old man to remember when 'sugar
sand, as Cuban sugars were termed,
were brought to Germany and there
refined and manufactured into loafsu-
gar and rock candy. 1t may amuse
some of our readers to show the COM
mon use of rock candy. A cup OF
coffee was served having in it's saucer
a lump ofrock candy the size of hazel
nut. This was taken into the mouth,
and sweetened the coffee as it was con-
sumed, and very often one lump an
swered for two cups. This was the
economic way of the poor and some
times the middle classes. OF course,
quality folks had, even at that day,
the cubes OF loaf sugar of the best sort
and quality.
Necessity is said to be the mother of
invention. When, therefore, some ex-
periments were made to extract sugar
| from q certain kind OF beets the gov
ernment granted loans offrom $40, 900
to $4,000 at very low interest to all
who would engage in the manufacture
of sugar from beets, and a bonus OF
two cents per pound for all that was
produced. Factories sprang up as by
magic, and labor was cheap and abun-
dant, and most OF the experimental
stations became permanent institu-
tions and factories. By degrees the
loans were called in, next the bounty
was reduced, and finally all was with
drawn. At present the boot is on the
other leg, and large incomes are Sc
cured from beet sugar factories, and
as stated above, America, or rather
the United States of America, import
sugar to the extent OF $500, 900, 900
from Germany annually.
The thinking man wonders why the
people OF the United States are spend
ing so much money annually In expert
ments to make sugar from sorghum
and so little to make it from the beet.
Twenty years ago sugar was produced
from sorghum and large quantities OF
excellent syrup. 1t was then claimed
that the sugar was grape sugar, now
produced from maize and denomlnated
glucose, while that made from beets
will crystalize readily Machinery, ex-
perts and all necessary and approved
appliances have been imported into
the United States, and yet We have
but few paying factories of beet sugar.
| The magnitude both OF consump-
ton and importation OF sugar are the
only excuse for reverting to the sub
lect again. Our soils are fertile, our
mechanics and inventors ingenious,
the peers OF every nation in their par
ticular fields, and yet there seems to be
halting and uncertainty in the manu-
facture of beet sugar. As for induce
ments and large money, where could
we go to find greater or those OF "A more
permanent character. And there are
no such secrets about this matter as
would prove barrier to American
genius or enterprise.

RoLY BoLY WON.
The Speedy Montana Mare Surprises the New
Orleans Talent

This Montana mare, well known to
turf patrons, is doing some great work
at New Orleans. Her performances
are thus briefly described by the Horse
man on the 4th inst: "The second
race proved such an extraordinary
surprise that the public was a little
wary OF betting thereafter. The race
was at six furlongs and Maud and Gil
ford were the choices, but Roly Boly,
with eight to one against her, galloped
home with ease in lis. The mare
has made poor showing in all of her
races of late, and after exhibiting
such remarkable speed to-day the
opinion was freely advanced that she
has been bottled up for a killing, and
this race was the slaughter"
On the 4th inst: "The feature OF the
days sport were the performances OF
Roly Boly and Bankrupt. Roly Boly
ran six furlongs with los pounds up
in 1:14S, and in the very next race
she carried l05 pounds and won at six
and one-half furlongs in :2ll,, record
time. In the second race she entered
at $500, and was run up to 1856 at
which price she was bought in by her
owner The purse was only 5000 in
each race.
Roly Boly is owned by a woman in
Helena, who also owns the Regent colt,
Niceroy. Al Phelps is campaigning
the mare, which has been steadily
worked since last fall.

Shark and Gator Fight.

A surveying corps at the mouth of
the st. Sebastian river related to a
gentleman a few days ago, at Titus
vile, and he to reporter, the partic-
ulars of most desperate encounter
between an alligator and a shark at
the first mentioned place, says the Pal
atka, Fla, Herald. The engineers had
pitched their tents near the river and
just above it's mouth, and were eating
their dinner under a small clump OF
palm. All at once their attention was
attracted to a violent commotion in
the water near the shore. At first the
bodies were so active and made the
spray, intermingled with blood, so
heavy, that they could not make out
what the two objects were. Finally,
after about half an hour OF such work,
the monsters seemed to be growing
weak and weary. 1t was then discov.
cred to be fight to finish between
large alligator and a man-eatine
shark. The former seemed to be try.
ing to get to shallow water, while the
shark was equally as determined not
to 60. The fight was still going on,
though growing less vigorous all the
time, when one of the parties got his
Winchester and shot them both. On
pulling them ashore the alligator was
found minus a fore-leg, bit off as
smooth as if cut off with a surgeons
knife. The shark had numerous ugly
gashes on his body which would prob
| ably have killed him soon. The party
skinned the alligator and saved som'
OF the teeth of the shark as memen
toes of this singular and sanguinary
| encounter.

the honor to present to you the next
governor of Ohio and one of hefuture
presidents of the United States, VIM
Mckinley, Jr." This unexpected sally
was greeted with cheers long continued,
and followed by three cheers for Nc
kinley in each OF the prospective char
acters in which he was introduced.
Mai. Mckinley, in his address, said, in
part, the one great glory of the Repub-
lican party was that it could look int o
the past without blushing and into the
future without fear. The speaker then
sketched the history of the Democratic
party IN Kansas and Nebraska legisla-
ton and the proposition of the United
States to consider the bill to buy Cuba
to extend slavery, for which it voted
down the proposition to consider the
homestead law. The Democratic
party opposed the greenback when it
was necessary as a war measure. 1t
was for peace at any price when We
were at war for the life OF the nation;
it opposed the resumption OF specie
payments. 1t opposed the emancipa-
ton proclamation; it had been a party
OF opposition, it had opposed every
measure tor the advancement of the
nation Itopposed protection. Tire
mendous cheering. Maj. Mckinley
then read an interview with Congress-
man Lee, of Richmond, Va, recently
printed, substance of which was: first,
subordinate everything to party; Sec
ond, we must not consider anything in
which the Democratic party is divided
until after '92; third, the Fifty-second
congress should prevent pernicious leg
islatIon, but attempt nothing more.
For, said Mckinley, they carried the
country in 1890 by an immense ma
lority, and according to this interview,
are afraid to interpret the policy on
which they won victory. They de-
nounced the tariff and did not know
what the tariff was.
To charges that the Fifty-frst con-
gress was expensive, Mai. Mckinley
said it used a great deal of money but
paid its debts and large arrearages
left over by the Fiftieth congress. 1t
kept all pledges save the election bill,
and it was no fault OF congress that it
did not pass. We kept faith with the
creditor that bought our bonds in
time OF sore need and now we mean to
keep faith with that other creditor
whose services are above price-the
soldier who offered his life in defense
OF his country. We stamped the life
out of repudiation. AS to the circula-
ton OF currency, if more be needed it
will be Forthcoming; but whether it be
gold, silver or paper, it must be worth
just what it's face says it's valueis. To
the charge that the mission of the Re-
publican party had ended, Mckinley
said no. 1t would not end till the
American ballot is as sacred as the
American home. John NJ. Langston,
of Virginia, and A. j. Lester, OF Spring
field, ILL.,, also spoke briefly, and the
meeting adjourned.

AN INHUMAN MOTHER.
She Sells Her Daughters Virtue and Then
Pleads for Mercy.

ST. LOUIS, April 17th.-A sad and
somewhat sensational scene occurred
in the court of criminal correction
when Mrs. Louisa Edwards was ar
raigned for selling the virtue of her
own daughter, a pretty girl thirteen
years old.
"Oh my God, My God, Judge, have
mercyl Please have mercy Don't let
me be dragged to jail" Those were
the words she uttered as she entered
the court room.
For a moment Judge Claibourne
was almost overcome, but glancing at
the upturned face of the little girl,
who by that time was weeping Bit
terly in sympathy with her mother, he
said: 81 can have no mercy for such
an inhuman mother as you. You
have ruined your daughter forever.
Remove the woman from the court
ROOM"
Two deputy sheriffs advanced to
obey the order of the court, but the
mother clutched the railing and it re-
auired the united force OF the deputies
to loosen her hold. She was finally
carried screaming to the prisoner s
cage.
Policeman Freeman testified that
the woman had agreed to sell her
daughter for an immoral purpose to
him, and he had placed her under
arrest. The little girl affirmed the
statement and added, too, that she
had often been sold to other men.
Her ruin, she said, had first been ac-
complished by her steptather. Mrs.
Edwards was held to the grand jury.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHING GToN, April II, 1891

WASHINGTON, April IL, 1891.
Secretary Tracy has issued an order
carrying his idea Of removing politics from
the employment OF the working force in the
navy yards OF the country into effect. He
is not satisfied to ha We this innov walton take
effect gradually vacancies may from time
to time occur, but has issued an order de-
mechanics in the New York navy yard
vacant after Ju.e l, and convening a board
of naval officers there to examine May /
all applicants for the vacancies. The ex-
aminations are to be strictly practical, re-
ferrng exclusively to the requisites OF the
positions to be filed. The same order
makes similar positions in the Norfolk
navy yard vacant after Jnly 1. and con-
venes an examining board there June B.
There has been "a large and continually
growing increase in the mail of the war and
navy department ever since the beginning
of the Italian bluffing, and the writers are
aboat equally divided between patriots
who wish to volunteer in case Of war with
Italy and cranks, who offer all sorts Of the
widest suggestions as to how we might cap
ture or destroy the powerful italian iron
clads should they make their appearance
upon our coasts. 1t is evident that in case
of war, which is scarcely considered among
the possibilities to say nothing OF probabil-
tiles, the government would have many
more volunteers than it would care to en-
list from which it would seem that good
many Americans are "spoilipg for fight"
with somebody.
Secretaries Proctor and Tracy and At
torney General Miller are holding the fort
for the administration during the tempor-
airy absence of the president and the rest of
the cabinet. Secretary Proctor has to tell
"A good many people that he has no present
intention OF resgning. and that while not a
candidate to succeed Senator Edmunds, he
would not decline the senatorship should
it be rendered to him by the governor OF
Vermont, as about nine out OF ten OF his
callers ask him the questions pointblank.
1t is regarded here as almost certain that
Secretary Proctor will be appointed to
serve out the unexpired term OF Senator
Edmunds between the first OF November,
when the resignation takes effect, and the
assembling of the Fifty y-second congress.
Superintendent Porter, OF the census bu-
reau, has written long and very sharp an
swer to the editor OF the Kansas Farmers
Alliance paper charging him with conduct
ing the investigation of farm mortgages for
partisan purposes. Mr.. Portersays THE
desire has simply been to ascertain the
truth in regard to the recorded indebted
ness of the people OF the United States"
Aud then he proceeds to show the errors
into which the alliance men had fallen.

Versatile Daniel Webster.

The Boston Traveller thinks the ig-
norance sometimes betrayed by edu-
Gated or titled Englishmen regard
ing certain weil-known facts OF litera-
ture or history is almost incredible.
Lord Kenyon, one OF England's chief
justices, used to speak OF "Julian the
apostle" and men of the same coun-
try, who have moved in its higher
circles OF society, have referred to
HYDE and Clarendon of the Charles
time as two different persons.
When, i'm conversation with a gradu,
ate of the University of Cambridge
the rector OF an English church in
Wooster, whom we met with in Paris
we made some allusion to Sir
Thomas Brownies writings, he petri
fed us with the query:
"Sir Thomas Brownel Who is he?'
But marvellous as are these self
exposures they are altogether eclipsed
by an observation made by an English
nobleman to our late minister to the
court OF st. James, Mr.. Phelps.
"Is it not very remarkable, saic
the nobleman, "that Mr.. Webster, who
was a great American statesman ant
orator, should have compiled lead
ing dictionary of the English Ian
guage and also have been hanged To-
murder?"

Judge Carpenter Bounces Ben Butler.

BosToN, April 21.-Aweek or so ago,
General Benjamin F. Butler, acting as
an attorney for Mrs. Johnson, con-
victed of perjury in a pension case,
had a dispute with United States Dis.
trict Judge Carpenter, as a result oi
which Butler was forbidden to appear
before the court. This morning, how
ever, when the case came up, Butler
came in and insisted on addressing the
court. Judge Carpenter declared him
disorderly and ordered the marshal to
remove him from the court room
The marshal and his assistants es
corted him out. The old general was
much affected, and his eyes filled with
tears as he exclaimed, "I yield tc
force" When the marshal had re
leased him in the corridor, Gen. Butlel
Immediately returned to the court
room. Judge Carpenter had left thu
bench and the general, after lookinl
about and seeing the bench vacant
exclaimed: "Well, the room smells 1
little better now than it did few
moments ago."

FRUITS OF THE MKINLEY LAW.
Instances of the Impetus Given to Home
Manufacturing.
New York Press ]

Most remarkable proof of the wis
dom of the fundamental purpose of
the Mckinley bill-to protect and de-
velop American industries-has al
ready been furnished by the extent to
which native manufacturing interests
have sprung into existence in the short
space of time that has elapsed since
the law went into effect. The sure in
dications OF this prompt growth of
American manufacturing interests fol-
lowing in the wake OF the Mckinley
law are to be found at the appraisers
warehouse, where the records of ma
chinery imported to start important
manufactures at various points show
conclusively that the predictions as to
the effect OF the law have been more
than fulfilled in this direction.
The machinery imported passes un-
der the inspection OF Assistant Ap.
praiser Biglin, who has a tale to un-
fold about the remarkable impetus
given to American manufacturing in.
terests by the Mckinley law, as evi
denced by the great quantities of ma.
chinery imported and new mills al
ready started up, which would send
the cold chills down the back of the
average free trader.
The most pronounced instance o.
the effect of the Mckinley law in open
ing up American manufactures is tn,
case OF the Bothney woolen mills al
Passaic, n. j. Where not brick haG
been laid at the time of the passage o
the famous tariff measure thrre nov
lies a stretch OF twenty acres of build
ings buzzing with manufacturing activ
ity. Over $3,OOO,OOO have alread,
been invested in the great plant, ther
are 600 looms singing the song of pro
lection to American industries, Will
10000 spindles already keep time tt
the glad tidings.
But this is only the beginning. 1t j
the boast, as well AS the intention O
the proprietors, to make this plan
the largest of its kind in the world
and this within the space of two years
The products of the mills are fine Hen
rietta cloth and fancy cloth for dres
goods. The number of hands en-
ployed is already 200, and the pre-
prietors promise that within five year
the mills will give employment t.
5000 hands. Within two years ther
will be $4,000 spindles in operation
The largest mills in the world are sal
! to have only GO, 900, and it is only
question OF a comparatively shoI
| u.han fhtS tar mill hn
lpassed at the Bothney woolen mills.

PLUMB ON NEWSPAPERS.
What the Senator Thinks Of the Press in Cen
eral.

Senator Plumb, OF Kansas, sub
scribes for every paper in that state.
He also takes all the leading New York
papers, several from Philadelphia and
other large cities. Inspeaking of news
papers the senator said:
/ believe in the local newspapers.
They are the leaders, the makers OF
public sentiment. They are nearer to
the people than any other papers.
Their editors mingle with the people,
and consciously and unconsciously re-
fleet the views of their readers.
By my private letters from all parts
of the state, and by reading the local
papers, can tell Just what the people
OF Kansas are thinking and talking
about. / can feel the pulse OF the peo-
pie and take their temperature. am
amazed, too, at the excellence of our
country papers. hemajority of them
are carefully and ably edited. They
not only print the news of their neigh
borheod, but have opinions which
find it worth my while to read and re-
fleet upon. l get no better return for
any of the money which spend than
for that which pay out for the local
newspapers of my state.
