An Immense Molasse, Tank.

This British oil tank steamship Circassian
Prince, arrived az Philadelphia, Pa, March %
from Havana, with half million gallons Of
molasses rs cargo. The ship WAS formerly
used for carrying oil, which will not iniure tho
molasscs, but on the contrary reduce its thick
ness, aud also keep il from adhering 10 the
sides Of the ship. Several million gallons had
TO be sent 10 tho Uuited States in a certain
time, aud New York broker undertook 20 fill
the contract. He chartered two steamers and
several sailing vc7e els, and had tho cargo
pumped IN from lighters az Havana, and il
will be pumped in tanks 40 the mula55es boiling
establishment az Philadelphia. The Mckinley
bill removed the duty from suger, aud the
Tehners Of tho raw molasses were compelled 10
adopt n cheaper mode of getting their pro-
duct from the West Indies. Tho freight charged
ia transporting the molasscs is said to be two
cents psr gallon, aud the molasses will be held
in bond until April ], when it can DO entered

tic concerning the beer they have on

The barkeeper eyed the pitcher for q
moment, and then proceeded to draw
the beeE To his sprpriso the bee1r
would not foam in the lively manner
which heretofore had been its principal
characteristic. No amount Of shaking
and sloshing around would make the
amber-colored beverage assume q
frothy appearance. and before the bar
keeper could realize it the pitcher was
p trimming full The negro remarked IN
an of-hand manner: .s
Dat beer done looks dead an Hat.
but ! laik dat kline mahself.n
With that the barkeeper handed him
the pitcher, and the grinning darby
walked out Of the room. He was met
just around the corner. by half . dozen
other. dusky citizens, all carrying pitch
ers, and at once divided mp. @.s,||s$s "
i It was noticed that the beer simme-
diately came to life when it was poured
out Of the big pitcher. and the colored
rascals laughed innloderately as the
creamy foam ran down the sides OF the
vessels they were carrying. Directly
after this another customer walked
into the same saloon, and the beer was
found to draw all right
Here was mystery indeed, and it
took two long weeks to solve it. The
saloon keeper in the vicinity always
noticed that the beer would not foam
when putsinto pitchers carried by Ger.
tain colored individuals. As result
these Same persons. got about fifty
cents worth Of beer and paid only ten
cents for it. + Se.* .-Is .Ss,l. -. -,
An investigation was started, as the
saloon keepers knew that some trick
was being played upon them. No solu-.
ton was arrived at, however, until Fri
day, when colored man under the in
fiuence of liquor told how the scheme
had been worked.
1t seemed that tho plan consisted in
simply greasing the inside of the
''growler with butter Or piece otfat
meat. When this is done no amount
Of gas or agitation will put the proper
head on beer. The discoverer OF ii
reaped rich harvest by selling the
secret of it to other ''growler workers, .
and as q result, the saloon keepers
have been victimized. - Philadelphia
