in Lowell, Mass.

LOWELL, Mass, February 20.-James
j. Chambers was sentenced to six months
this morning for abusing his son. Judge
Hadley said that in all his experience he
never found such brute for father.
The boy had been driven out on a win
ter's night without shoes or stockings,
beaten. starved, and once the father took
him to the river to drown him.
About year ago the boy was arrested
on the fathers complaint for alleged
stubbornness.e When in the police sta

weakness and hunger. He was miserab-

into the vacuum pan-a gigantic inclosed
tank, from which the air can be exhaust
ed in order to save time in boiling the
juice. After being boiled down to a
thick, granular substance, it is turned
into the centrifugal circular iron jars,
which are set to whirling at the rate of
1880 revolutions minute and SO sepa-
rate the sparkling sugar crystals from
the fluid. The sugar is then dumped,
still hot. ON clean floor and from there
shoveled into sacks. Then it used to be
slowed away until Claus Spreckels came
along and offered his price for it.
This was the tranquil and easy going
way of doing things which it struck Claus
Spreckels 10 years ago could be improved
upon to his own advantage. The island of
Maui, next north of Hawaii in the group,
is made up of two separate clusters
of mountain peaks 20 or 30 miles apart
and joined together by d low lying strip
Of land--so low lying that it looks as
though Maui had once been two islands,
with the sea flowing over this strip.
There are several hundred square miles
of this lowland, and there are no natural
water courses flowing through it.
The planters on Maui had consequently
never attempted to plant sugar in it, and
had confined themselves to the mouths
of the valleys ON either side of it. But
Spreckels thought it was good land and
that water could be brought to it. So
he set to work to build an enormous
waterway or ditch from the southern
cluster of mountains. There were sew
eral formidable gulches to be crossed on
the way. Through these he laid gigantic
iron pipes and proceeded on his way to
the plain, while the Hawaiian planters
looked on at what seemed to them the
scheme of mailman. It took 81, 100000
to finish that ditch, but it was finished.
Then Spreckels proceeded to plant seed
cane over this seemingly desert land and
to turn his water supply upon it, and it
was not long until his faith was justified.
Several sugar mills, made with American
machinery and on a scale never before
attempted on the islands, were erected,
turning out in the aggregate several
hundred tons day. Steam plows were
introduced and patent devices Of various.
sorts. In 1881 there was unique rail-
way running from one of these mills to
the shipping place, the motive power of
which was the trade wind, utilized by
sails. Now there are locomotives to
pull trains of cars along temporary
tracks to various parts of the plantations
and bring in the cane.
It had always been the custom in the
islands to take the sugar up to Honolulu
and reship it from there to San Fran
cisco, owing to the lack of landing facil-
tiles on the other islands. But Srreckels
built himself wharves and had vessels
come to his plantation. This offended

but to use as seed in replanting. AS this
cane is cut in the fields and stripped, it

In other cases the cane is carried to
