National Cane Shredder
PATENTED UNDER THE LAWS 90
THE HAwAIIAN ISLANDS

Mr.. John A. Scott, Manager
of the Hilo Sugar Company
gives the following wonderful
record of the working OF the
NATIONAL CANE SHRED
DER, which was erected by
their works at the commence
ment of the crop just har-
vested:
During the past week the
Hilo Sugar Company's mill ex-
ceeded any OF its former
records by closing the 125
hours grinding with an output
of 300a tons. This is fully 10
per cent. more than the best
work of former years.
"The three roller mill being
26 in. by Sd in. and the two
roller mill 80 in. by 90 in. The
first mill doing this amount of
work in an efficient manner
and with great ease, compared
with work on whole cane,
owing to thorough preparation
of the cane by the National
Cane Shredder, recently erec-
ted by the Company. And
by it's use the extrac-
ton has been increased from
8 per cent. to 5per cent. on all
kinds of cane, and in some
cases so per cent. has been
reached; the average being 20
to rs per cent, according to
quality.
81 continue to find the
megass from shredded cane
better fuel than from whole
cane.
"The shredder has been
working day and night for
seven months and has given
me entire satisfaction, having
shredded during that time
about seventy thousand tons
of cane, and a large part OF 1T
being hard ratoOns.
"The shredder and engine
require very little care or
attention"

son in his "Mammals of Northern
Alaska" They are used in the winter
for hunting, slcdgc-drawing and the
like. but in summer are mostly left to
shift for themselves. They receive
much hard usage, as well as do much
hard work, but are described never
theless, as a rollic,.ing set, full of
play, fond of human society and quar-
rclsorae as schoolboys. Mr. Nelson
credits them with vein of humor and
declares that their varying character
istics can be read in their faces. They
are worth from two dollars to fifteen
lolllrs apiece, according to age, size
and intelligence. For slcdgc-drawing
they are harnessed in teams of either
seven or nine-thrcc or four pairs and
leader. The load is from three hun
dred and fifty to seven hundred pounds
and the course is mainly through I'M
broken snow or over rough ice. With a
team of seven dogs and load of more
than three hundred pounds Mr.. Nelson
made journey of more than twelve |
hundred miles in about two months. |
The last sixty miles were made over a |

American temperance agitators would
not enjoy them selves in Austria. A
native of small village, after long,
cataleptic trance, year ago, declared
that he had been to Heaven and had
been commissioned by the Almighty
to return and teach the peasants the
wickedncss of drinking spirits. Soon
the entire village took an oath of total
abstinence. The district governor com
mitted the man to the madhouse, where
the doctors kept him for six months
and then declared him sane. He re-
sumed his agitation and in a short
time seven villages had taken vows of

Gauges and to have been SO since the
tertiary period. The knowledge of
these animals by the Chinese was ac-
quired long before the Christian era,
when large fleets of junlss. naval,

How swimmers Drown.

new explanation of the sudden drown
ing of good swimmers, hitherto attrib-
! uted to cramp. There is nothing in
cramp in the leg to prevent an ordinary
swimmer supporting himself in the
water by his hands or on his back, nor
to cause him to throw up his hands
and sink once for all, like q stone.
| Such cases are attributed to perfora
| ton of the eardrum, through which
the excess of water pressure occasions
vertigo and Inconsistencies, and a
practical caution results to persons
having such perforation to protect
their cars with q stopper of cotton when

The distinction of having quart
flask of whisky walled up in the
structure belongs to the Sacred Heart
church of this city, says New Bruins
wick special to the New York sun. AL
though the church has been built for
over ten years, this was not generally
known until recentlv. Ten years ago
last October the corner stone of the
church was laid, and the work of
building the edifice was pushed as rap
idly as possible, so that before the
dawn of the new year the walls were up
to the first story. The cold was in
tense at this time, and some of the
masons employed on the building ac-
CURED the habit of depending upon
stimulants to keep their blood in circu-
lation. Consequently a large quart
flask was brought into requisition, and
frequent trips were made from time to
time to a hotel to keep it flied
with the enlivening fluid. The men
had their whisky with great regular
ity until an incident occurred unex-
pectcdly one day that upset their cal
culations for the time being.
The flask had just been replenished,
md the men were making ready to en-
Joy it, when they were startled by the
sudden appearance of Father Mulligan
N company with several other ecclesi-
lstics, who had come to make an in
'pection of the progress of the work.
rhe man who had the flask happened
20 be quich-witted, or the secret would
lave been out. Without moments
hesitation he quickly slowed the flask

While the other men went on with
heir work, consoling themselves with

waited them when the visitors de-
arted. They reckoned in vain.

lained close to where the men were
'orlling for long time. Although
nc wall was gradually inclosing the
recious whisky bottle, the masons did

lspicions.
When the party finally took its de-
lrture to their dismay the masons
'und that the flask was out of sight,
adj all efforts to get it were unayail-
g. They did not dare tear the wall

The tariff bill has passed and is in
the hands of thu President who it is
thought, will promp ly sign it. Criti-
csm should now be hushed. The VIC
tory has been won by the ''consarva-
tives' led by the senior Senator from
Maryland, and to him let due credi, be
given. We believe that time will prove
the wisdom of his course. He gave
the matter profound study, and, no
doubt, realized as few O. hers did, the
dangers to the financial and industrial
interests of the country in passing a
bill too radical sweeping or sudden
in its operation. 1t should be remem-
bered that the bill as passed, although
it does not give free iron, coal and SUI.

Kinley act, which created and fos cred

IN the carpet and wooden schedules.
Wool will now be free with greatly
cheabened chemicals aud dive stufs,
and the tariff on manufactured wool

MR.. CL 4GET7 IN TIE FIELD

The Baltimore Sun yesterday pub,
lished the following:
Mr.. VIM. b. Clagett, Of Prince
Georges coun y, Wednesday announ-
ced his intention to contest for the
democratic congressional nomination
in the fifth district to succeed Mr..
Barnes Compton, naval officer at this
port. The nominating convent IN will
meet at Gainesville on Wednesday, Sep
TENDER 5.
At the time Of Mr.. Compton, resig-
nation as Congressman for the fifth
district Mr.. Clagett's friends spoke of
him as a possible successor. Mr.. Cla-
gett, however, at that time, said that
he would not seek the nomination.
Since then Mr.. Clagett's friends have
urged him SO strongly to permit the
use Of his name before the convention
that he finally yielded and made the
public announcement that he is a can
didate. Mr.. Clagett expects to go in
to the convention with the backing of
his own county, and it is SAID that he
will also secure delegations from other
counties in the district. His stron gest
opponent at present is Slae Senator
John G. Rogers, of Howard.

attempting to describe them. The number OF
guests this season exceeds that OF many years

hotels richly CARRIED ladies ard gentlemen and
the flash of diamonds and other costly jewels

by the cry OF ''help." They ale wonderful
swimmers and often make remarkable rescues,

THE GOOD OF 1T.

That the holding Of an annual fair
where the products of the farm and Of
the home may be placed in friendly
competition will be productive of god
results, no one can question. These
benefits may not be immediate, nor may
they be apparent at first sight.
1t is an important consideration
alone that the fair affords an opportu-
nifty for people to assemble in social in
tercourse, where friend can greet friend,
and relatives from distant points can
meet each other. Innocent diversions
are healthful and beneficial. Country
people who have few opportunities for
pleasure will soon Learn to anticipate
the coming of "Fair week as an occa-
sion of joy and recreation. The children
will be delighted and instructed by see
ing the exhibitions of domestic animals
and of household and fancy articles to
say nothing of the good that may come
from emulation awakened by the offer
ing of prizes for excellence in certain
departments of school work Parents,
as we'll as the children, need stimu-
lus sometimes, and farmer A. may be
encouraged to improve his cattle or his
poultry by seeing that farmer B. ca II
make creditable exhibits while he can
not In this way improved cattle, sheep
hogs and poultry will, in course Of time
supplaut those of inferior quality. and
consequent good will accrue to agricul-
tural interests here.
In afording object lessons to both
old and young agricultural fairs have
proven to be very beneficial. Southern
Maryland has long needed such
an institutions as we now have. Other
rural communities, less favored, nave
been holding fairs for many years, and
the popularity of these annual gather
ings Is constantly increasing. If our
people show proper appreciation of
the efforts that have been put forth by
the promoters Of the Fair, our County

Seat is destined to be the Mecca Tor
thousands as each recurring year shall
bring around ''Fair week."
As to the immediate benefits of the
undertaking. apart from the money that
will be left with the hotel keepers,
merchants and others, we may mention
the fact that about ten thousand dollars
have been expended within the last two
wears in our midst This money has
come principally from stockholders in
the cities and in neighboring counties,
and from the receipts of the first Fair,
but our county mechanics and laborers
have realized most of the benefits Of
the expenditure.
The Fair has already advertised our
town, county and section, as no other
enterprise in recent years has done.
The thousands who may visit us during
the continuance of the Fair must carry
away with them pleasant recollections
of the occasion. The beautiful fair
grounds will attract attention. Our
ancient burgh. with It's historic asso-
Citations will come in for share of in
terest The hospitality, culture and
refnemen: OF our people ought to make
an impression. We will show the
world that Sou hern Maryland is in
fused with spirit of improvement.
Let us prove ours lives, t ereof, worthy
of the occasion; do all we Can, lndvid-
ually and collectively, for the pleasure
and comfort of our visitors, and al
though rich dividends on the stock
may not be realized, onr c unity and
town will become better known and
more highly appreciated. and, in due
time, the good effects of the Fair will
be strikingly apparent.
