HA THE TRUST GOT 1T?
The New McCahan Refinery En-
pIoys Young SpreckeIs.

The interesting discovery was
made yesterday, says the Phila-
delphia Record of October 9Th,
that Louis Spreckels, nephew
of Claus 6preckels, who
sold his Philadelphia refinery to
the Sugar Trust some time ago, was
one of the principal employees of
the new McCahan refinery, at which
operations will begin next week.
1t is said that he will be the chief
boiler of the refinery.
Mr.. Spreckels was formerly en-
ployed in the capacity of assistant
Superintendent in his uncle's ref
merry, and is said to be thoroughly
skilled in the business. He is we'll
known among the sugar refiners in
this city, but the fact of his en-
ployment by Mr.. McCahan was
kept strictly secret.
When the disclosure was made
yesterday, there was considerable
discussion in sugar circles, and 1T
was said in some quarters that the
trust had already laid its hands
upon the new refinery and that it
would soon control, if, indeed,
it did not already do SO.
1t was said also that arrangements
to employ young Spreckels in the
new refinery had been consum-
mated before the "Sugar King"
shook the dust of Philadelphia
from his feet and that the mission
was in line with the work which
Mr.. Spreckels bad agreed to per-
form for the trust when that cor
poration bought his refinery at a
high figure.
W. j. McCahan, the president of
the McCahan Sugar Refining Com
pany, admitted yesterday that
Louis SpreckeIs was in his employ,
but said that it had no particular
significance. When asked whether
there was an arrangement between
the company and the trust, Mr..
McCahan said: 1--WE did not build
the refinery to sell out, and it has
not been sold. We have always
managed our own business and we
are managing it now. Next week
we shall begin operations and shall
gradually work up to about 2ooo
barrels day. We can easily in
crease our capacity, however, al
though it would take a year to
duplicate the present plant. There
is ample ground to build a plant
three or four times the size OF the
present one." :.
Mr.. McCahan and his immediate
associates own the majority OF the
capital of the company, amounting
to S2,000,000.

this great space are broad galleries, from
which perhaps 5000 or 5000 people may
look down upon the gorgeous scene. Inc

/ tacle and not much more, for in some way
or other the foolish notion has obtained

at an inaugural ball. The people who want
to be real exclusive simply promenade OF

and very much better reason there is LITTLE
dancing at an inaugural ball. There isn't
room. Big as this ballroom is, when you

them will be able to find room in which tC

peace of mind.
You may imagine that this will be a goot
deal of n ball four weeks hence from th'
fact that it will probably cost those wh'
attend it for tickets, carriages, wines ant
flowers a round quarter of million dol
lars. A pretty snug sum to spend on on
ball, is il not? 1t is estimated the attend
ance will be as great as at the last tw'
balls held in the same building-lO,COO-
though possibly this is an overestimate, TO
the reason that inauguration day being Sat
urday the ball must come TO an end at mid
night. On this account it Yves at one tim
thought there would be no ball this year
and probably there would not have bee
one but for the fact that it is the ball whic
raises the funds to defray the expenses

An officer wearing the insignia Of

drew his chair near the colonel, whose
complaint was in brief that he had been
dismissed for drunkenness on duty. The
officer had good and gallant record.
Lincoln knew him. He never forgot
such a case. The lines in the soldiers
face told their own story of long and un'
restrained indulgence.
Mr.. Lincoln heard the story patiently.
He rose, and as was his habit wher
moved deeply, he grasped the soldiers
right hand in both his own, and said;
Colonel, know your story. But you

Mail and Express; Manager Scott. Of the
Chicago Herald and Evening Post, and
many other prominent newspaper men
have examined it and bid high to secure
it's control in their cities The first fifty
machines made went TO Cleveland, and
eoually large orders are being filled for
other cities.
The idea originated with Mr.. A. j. Haz-
lett two wears ago. while he had charge OF
the circulation department of Russell tar-
rison's paper. the Helena (MOn.) journal
He mott iced one shrewd but lazy newsboy
made considerable money by leaving papers
in an omen box with directions to drop the
urice into a closed drawer In the end and
take paper. This convinced him that an
automatic newspaper seller would prove q
good thing, and he set about TO devise ones
He unfolded his ideas at last to Mr.. II e!
! Hawk. of Bucyrus, O., who had invented
several automatic devices, and between
| them they perfected this machine. The
/ great difficulty was i'm the different sizes OF
papers and their different weights.
The mechanism is entirely original. All
though over seventy patents for automatic
nickel-in-the- slot machines had been issued
before application was made for this one,
there was found to be no conflict, and the
letters patent were issued promptly.
While it is not expected that it will sup
plant the news boy, it will undoubtedly y
greatly lessen their number. 1t is easily
loaded and unloaded, and one boy can
manage fifty for a morning and the same
number for an evening paper. The saving
in commissions over the newsboy Is very
large, and is expected to run 100 per cent.
annually on the cost of the machine, which
is fifty dollars. The first machine put in
operation paid for itself in three months
It is built in two styles, one for street
corners and the other for hotels, depots
and inside locations generally. The single
machine can only sell one paper, but they
are built so that two, three or four differ
ent papers can be sold from the same ma

The shrewd people of Washington have
the inaugural business down fine" They
know lust how to manage it so as to make
It produce a very large profit and take sub
stantially all the expense of the inaugura-
tion from their shoulders. The 5000 or TO-
900 people who attend will, however, be
very glad to pay $40 apiece for tickets, -
each for supper and wine, perhaps an av-
erage of s. each for carriages and a good
round sum for fowers-to say nothing OF
ruined gowns and crushed hats.
OF late years there isn't much trouble on
the last named score These balls are now
very well managed. Two or three hundred
women are employed in the ladies' cloak
rooms looking after wraps, while greater
number of attendants guard the coats and
hats of the men. The whole business has
been reduced to a somewhat exact science.
But nj certain inaugural balls of the past
there has been disgraceful confusion. For
instance, at the second Lincoln inaugura-
ton ball there was such rush for over
coats and hats that about half the men got
wraps and headgear that did not belong to
them. while hundreds were compelled to &c
home without either coat or hat. Hun
dreds of hats were crushed, and between
the men who went home with battered hats
and those who were compelled to go away
without any the Washington hatters nexl
day sold every chapeau in their shops and
wired Philadelphia and Baltimore for more
Again, at Grants first inaugural the sup
per and courtroom arrangements were dread
full. and among those who suffered loss o
oyercoat and hat and were compelled to g
home coatless and hatless was Horac

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Dr. Cyrus Edi-

the Forthcoming issue of the American
Druggist and Pharmaceutical Records
1t is to be regretted that some OF the news
papers resort to sensational news and thus UNI
necessarily alarm the public in connection with
contagious and infectious diseases. While
much good is accomplished through their
urging the people to observe the laws OF Sani
tation In their own persons, there Is much harm
done through unreasoning fear and nervous.
dread which is caused by these methods.
The mere fact that the Kanamania was de-
tanned at Quarantine Thursday should not be a
source of great alarm for never in the history
of this country has the sanitary condition been
so good
Cholera has been generally prevalent in the
Russian districts ever since last year. It's ex-
istence in Naples has recently come to light
though it has not yet become epidemic there.

have said that the sanitary condition OF the
United States in general is excellent. and this
is more especially true OF the large cities
Since the great source Of infection Is the wa
ter used for drinking. 1t is around this that the
most stringent safeguards should be thrown
larger cities, and thanks to the energetic
works of the various boards of health there is
little or no cause for fear as to impure drink
ing water. Sojourners at summer resorts how
ever, should exercise particular caution. as the
water used at these temporary places OF resi-
dence is frequently contaminated, not ut pres
ent with cholera germs but with other germs
of diseases which may weaken the system So
as to afford lodging place for cholera germs
should they be introduced later.

reach this country. contingency which I
scarcely class among the possibilities was
amply demonstrated in the way the few
cases were handled which appeared here last
year; and further it may be said that the sani-
tary condition of the country is better now
than it was then. There are just three points
to be argued
l. That cholera can only be taken into
the tody by means of food or drink
2. That IL taken into a healthy stomach cl,ol-
era germs are harmless, as the acid gastric.

That they are certainly killed when sub
