upon the market sugar OF "A most inferior
quality that is being sold by the subur-
ban gro GERS. aud by the big grocers I'm
the centre of the city for all / know. IL
is very oor stuff. When a cube of IL is
dissolved i'm the mouth there is a residum
that is not at all palatable, however it
may affect the health. Good sugar can
be had. of course, but you must know
what to call for TO get it. This poor
sugar is creating quite boom for the
French beet root sugar, which costs more
than three times as much as the Ameri-
can cane article, but it Is perfectly pure
and most delicious for tea, coffee and
medicinal purposes. IL is highly es-
teemed for the nursery, ana for confec-
tions for the children. IL is sold In this
city in the form OF big cones called
Jewish sugar cones" aud in packages
Ia 'cuG" form.

John A. McCloy, who was buried YES
terday, wore himself out in: an honest
and long-sustained struggle with fate.
which while not exactly unpropitious
was nevertheless grudging Of it's favors.
Whatever he got he had to work for as
hard as other men work for the choicest
favors fortune has to give. He made
himself popular and well liked i'm the
business community because he was will
ing to take the laboring oar in all enter
prises designed to advance the interests |
of the particular line he was identified |
with, aud by which he would individu- |
ally benefit but little. The immediate
cause Of is death was perhaps his zeal |
in promoting the jewelry exhibit Mt the |
Worlds fair. The jewelry interests of |
this city would be doing very graceful
and just thing IL they were to make some
substantial acknowledge o. their
indebtedness to the uuceasiRg and un-
selfish labors Of John A. McCloy in their
interests.
Now for the report Of the first crocus.
There are not vet many signs of the bios

the sharp eyes of those who are 10 close
