THERE is belief that clause in the new tariff bill opens a way to keep the sugar trust from raising the price of sugar to an outrageous figure. The bill pro viies for A twenty per cent ad valorem
 duty upon raw sugar and an additional one-eighth of a cent a pound on all sugar above number 16 Dutch standard in color and upon all sugar that has been discolored in plain English. upon refined sugar. But in the next paragraph it is provided that the duty upon all sugars after being refined when ''tinctured, colored or in any way adulterated." shall be thirty-fve per cent ad valorem. Under this last para graph it is believed that refined sugar can be brought in, as it would be easy to color 1t in some harmless manner. If this shall turn out to be correct it would compel the sugar trust to keep its prices within bounds for fear of the foreign competition. Of course it will depend largely upon the construction put on the last named para graph by the customs officials of the treas
 ury department. The difference was in tended to be made solely for the benefit of confectiC ners who desired to use foreign refined sngar, and the officials may inter pret it to mean that only sugar for the use of confectioners can he imported under it

STATE JURISDICTION
OF TIE UNITED woRKMRN is NOW AS
SURED.
An Important Meeting held Ysstsrday-Ih'
Nugullian BuBgle at the Grand a Com
pls!s Success

The city was in possession yesterday
of the A. o. q. W. delegates from al
parts Of the State, who came here
to attend a convention to de
wise ways aud means to estab
lish an independent jurisdiction for the
lodges in West Virginia. At present
the West Virglnia lodges are under the
direction Of the Pennsylvania jurisdic-
ton, and it is the desire of their officer:
to establish local control over the So
cieties OF this State.
The convention met in the A. o. ..
w. Hall at the corner Of Twelfth and
Market streets, at IL o'clock yesterday
morning. The following lodges were
represented: Reliance, Excelsior, Up
church, Welcome, La Belle and Her
man, OF Wheeling; Benwood, Nc
Meechen, Wellsburg, Charleston, Sis
tersville, Moundsyille, Parksrsburg,
Huntington, and Fairmont. Three
lodges of the State had no delegation
present.
After the convention was called to
order, permanent organization was
Elected by the election of Frank Cruise,
II Excelsior Lodge, as president, and
W. o. McCluskey as secretary. After
he transaction of routine business the
meeting adjourned until 2 p. m.
Al the afternoon session reports were
heard from all the lodges represented,
upon the object of the meeting. Great
enthusiasm was manifested and pledges
Of support on the main question wera
heard from all the delegates. At the
asst national session of the order the
supreme Lodge entered decree that
West Virginia should become separ-
ate jurisdiction provided the total
enrolment OF the lodges OF the State
reached 1000 members on or before
January 1, 1895. The mem bership is
now a little over 1,700, and it was the
purpose OF the convention to reach the
requisite number within the time limit
and thereby cut loose from Pennsylva'
MIA and become an independent JuFls'
diction.
A letter was read from DR.. Garrison,
who is now organizing lodges in the In
terror OF the State, which said that his
efforts were being attended with re-
markable success, and that the hrs'
week of his work he secured 90 new
members. He guaranteed the conven'
20 have $50 additional members before
January 1st. This substantial promise
was received with loud applause and
made the work of the other lodges
lighter to obtain the coveted total.
The meeting adjourned at p. M.
Without discussing anything OF more
than minor interest, after which the
members of Wheeling lodges conducted
the visiting delegates to points OF inter
est about the city.

A Side Plitt'ng Oriental Initiation at
the Grand Last Night.

A Side-s pIitt,ng Oriental Initiation at
the Grand Last Night.
A natural adjunct of the A. o. D. W
Convention yesterday, was the annual
Notification of the MoGullians, which
UNIQUE organization, after "snolligos-
ter" parade, gave highly interesting
and laughable entertainment at the
Grand Opera House.
The parade should have been seen TO
be properly appreciated. Promptly at
: o'clock it moved down Market street,
ably marshalled by Officers ScaIly,
O'Brlen, Buch and Trischler. The
eyer-present billy goat headed the
outfit, followed by c&st-otf mule fro m
the Fourth ward, one that had
seen long service and which was ridden
by the candidate for initiatory honors
at the affair to take place later on. The
remainder OF the pageant was made up
OF Rajah buglerS, high-taritf tin horns,
erotesouers, soups, high mogulS and
little moguls, besides a multitudinous
presentation Of farcical costumes that
must have bothered the brains OF the
knight of the Golden Shears, who
presides over the tailoring department
Of the Mogullian House OF Lords. II
was certainly success and attracted a
large crowd.
The crowd, however, seemed bent on
seeing all the fun and made rush for
the Grand Opera House as soon as the
parade was over. 1t was the largest
audince that has packed the theatre Tor
long time aud was composed OF some
of the very best citizens OF Wheeling
The curtain raiser was characteristic
professional march of the Mogul'
to the very inspiring and ap
propriate air, "Ta-ra-ra-6oom-de-aye.'
| The stage costumes OF the
princely cohorts OF All McGusilam were
the same exhibited In street parade.

Locusts DeyourInc Locusts.

In the summer of 1898, in which the
excessive heat and drought had brought
about the nearly entire disappearance Of
vegetation in a good part of the country
and more particularly in the broken
country of Banda Oriental, had occa-
sion to make a journey from San Jose to
Mercedes. At one place, Las Piedras,
at which the diligence stopped. l noticed
great numbers of locusts of the species
Pezotettix vittiger, Pezotettix maculi-
pepnis and Pezotettix arrogans, which
covered the ground and rocks.
My attention was attracted by the
fact of seeing around one locust num-
Der Of other individuals of the same spe
cies, which were eating its soft parts
even while it was yet alive and protest
ing vigorously. Isaw different attacks,
in which the conquerors, two or three at
a time, got hold of the weaker members
of their own kind, throwing them over
and opening the abdomen in order TO
devour the entrails, these being the soft
er and more savory portions, since they
still contained some of the vegetable
food. Cannibalism here appeared in its
lowest development, and the numerous
remains of those which had been eaten
bore witness to the extent to which the
process had been carried.
In the face of facts of this character,
it seems certain that nothing is sacred
in nature when the prolongation of life,
for the sake of the preservation OF the
species, is concerned.-CarlB Berg in Nat
ural Science.

Go with me to the halls of Yale and
listen to Chauncey NJ. Depew speak with
clean cut phrases Of wisdom, sailed with
sentences of wit. Come back to the city
and find him delivering an Grafton on
the Centennial in the presence of vast
multitude of witnesses, tone and style
and manner and figures totally different.
See him at the dinner of the New York
Press club, where 500 bright witted,
clever headed, nimble fingered, honest
hearted men applaud to the echo his per-
tinent, his suggestive, his eloquent SEN
fences. Jump thence to the superb
Auditorium in Chicago, where $4,000
yellers and shouters and tooters surround
the 400 or 500 delegates assembled there
to nominate presidential candidate.
See how they listen. Watch as they
applaud. Tell me that Chauncey NJ. De-
pew, bright, clever, experienced as he
is, could be the force, the factor in af-
fairs, the distributor of ideas he is with
out what st. James would call an I'M

To the Scriptural account of the crea-
ton and fall of Adam and Eve the Jewish
writers of the Talmud have added many
curious particulars. According to these
mythmongers, Adam, when first created,
was "giant Of giants" as far as stature
goes. his head reaching into the heavens
and his countenance outshining the sun
in all its splendor. In one place they
tell US that 1.-The very angels stood in
awe of the man which God had created,
and all creatures FASTENED to worship
him." Then the Lord, in order to give
the angels some idea of his power, caused
deep sleep to come over Adam, and
while he was in a comatose condition re-
moved a portion of every limb and bone!
The first man thus lost a part Of his CO.
lossal stature, yet he remained perfect
and complete. Next, the first help
meet" for the lord of creation was Gre
ated in the person of Lilith, who forsook
Adam to become the mistress of the
air and the mother of demons"
After the departure Of Lilith, Eve was
created and married to Adam in the
presence of Jehovah and the angels, the
sun, moon and stars dancing together to
the angelic music rendered. Then the
supreme happiness of the human pair
excited the envy of even the angels, and
the seraph Sammael tempted them and
finally succeeded in bringing about their
fall from innocence. Adam lived as a
penitent on the very ground now occu-
pied by the temple at Mecca, and Eve in
cave on the side of Mount Ararat.
where, after a lapse of 200 years, she
was rejoined to Adam.-St. Louis Re-
Dublic
