A DAwNING INDUSTRY.
IA Sugar King Sees Fortune for
Farmers in White Beets.

Count Henry Lubienski, a prominent
Polish nobleman and extensive sugar
manufacturer of that country, is in
the city, a guest of the Gibson house.
The count is an expert sugar manu-
facturer, and has recently consum-
mated a deal with the Commercial club
of Omaha to establish two large beet
sugar factories in that city. He has
only been in this country a year, but
during his short stay here he has dis
covered that large part of the Ameri-
con is suitable for the production of the
white beet, from which the sugar is
manufactured. His tests have all prov
en- successful and he predicts for the
| United States a. new and rising indus
try. The factory at Omaha, which is
now under construction, will employ
over 1000 men, not including the farm
ers who raise the beets. The count is
rather fine looking man of IS years,
well educated and extremely witty
| Count Lubienski said: IT regard the
manufacture of sugar from the white
beet as the rising American industry,
which In a few years will be a leading
one. | find the American soil especial
ly adapted to the beet, that is the beet
sugar industry. An acre of beets will
yield twelve tons, which will sell at So
per ton, making profit per acre of
$50, after deducting the $50 per acre for
cultivating. Do the farmers net $50
per acre on corn and wheat? Not much.
They will be doing we'll at 81 per acre,
net. In my opinion it is only a. ques-
ton of time when the sugar beet will
be raised by the American farmer to a
large extent, and that sugar manufac-
turing will be an immense and power
full industry. The initial step is beng
taken at Omaha. which will soon be
followed up by more and larger estab-
Establishments. The Omaha factory will
consume over 500 tons of beets PER Cay,
and these will all have to be raisel by
the Nebraska farmers, which will bring
them an immense profit on their land.
will say in conclusion that the Gull
tivation of the sugar beet Dv the Ameri-
can farmer will be his salvation frC m

Amateur vaudeville Partisan PARTY

The evening gathering together of

reception or a dinner, if large and i'm

either in the form of a skirt dance.

unusual in the way of music. A Pa

to 'inaugurate" her winter receptions
by turning her spacious saloon into
what will in effect be nothing more
nor less than q very swagger vaude-
Vile performance. All the entertain
ments. which are to include the regula-
ton skirt dance, comic songs and other
popular Specialties. are to be provided
by smart amateurs, and the refresh
ments are to be dispensed by the guests
disguised as men and women walters.
The last. piece of 'nlake-believe" seems
rather unnecessary, as few men or
women, especially the former, can per-
form the servants act half as well as
the genuine article. Still, it does pro-
woke much laughter TO see how badly
an unprofessional waiter will do the
simplest things about service with
which he has been familiar all his life.
Indeed, a gentleman frequently called

Ladies cards are governed by the
following rules: A married woman in
society, especially with daughters,
should always use the prefix Mrs
Widows and maiden ladies often pre-
fer to use the simple name without
prefix fashion dictates otherwise. A
young lady in society, having passed
her first season, should if the eldest
daughter, use simply for instance,
Miss Boutwell," If younger
daughter, she should use her Chris
tan name in full. In her first season
a debutante should engrave her name
below that of her mother. her individ-
ual card not appearing till the second
season. On visiting with her mother.
the name of her daughter may be en-
graved below that of her mother; if
separate, her card should always be
left with her mothers card. The same
applies to plurality of daughters, the
names being grouped.-New York

The newest Salt Lake railroad en-
terprise for 1894, and the one likely to
be the first completed is the Salt Lake
and Glen Park electric line between
this city and Big Cottonwood canyon.
The road will be built and equipped
by the Big Cottonwood Power COM
pany, who expect to have the project
in complete running order in six
months. The length of the line will be
about Ia miles and the Salt Lake ter
minous viii be at the corner of First

on Friday by exhibiting suit of
old clothes which he had procured from
q Maryland farmer in exchange for a

may have been having fun with Jerry.
A mans wealth is not to be judged by
his clothes. Perhaps the old Maryland

Speaking Of the receivership, General
Agent Collbran of the Midland, said
to a Denver Times reporter:
1 know the impression has been that
the Santa Fe receivership extended
over the Midland. but such was not
the case. The Midland had not de-
fauited in its interest, it does default
tomorrow. The amount due is only
about 100000, but that is q great deal
Of money for the Midland these days.
The big interest will fall due June l."
Mr.. Collbran stated that the reason
the application was made in st. Louis
was the fact that the other receivers
had been named by Judge Caldwell,
and it was perfectly natural to ask
for a Midland receiver from the same
court.
My understanding, !" continued he, lis
that the owners of the Midland stock
and the holders of the bonds We're in
perfect harmony, and met in st. Louis
for the purpose of applying for the re-
ceivers. The Santa Fe company, you
know, owns every dollar of the Midland
stock. The $S,000,000 of stock was pur-
chased outright at so cents on the dol
lar. There is very little water in the
stock, for everybody knows what q
tremendously expensive piece of con-
struction the Midland was.
4 Mr.. Dusk, | believe, represented the
bondholderS in the St Louis confer
ence. There are not more than 100
bonds held in Colorado most of them
being held in England"
The Colorado Midland is broad
guage line from Colorado Springs to
New Castle via Leadville and Aspen
1t is $50 miles long. Its protector, J.
j. Hagerman, designed in the start
that the road should run from Lead
Vile to Aspen as an outlet from the
new mineral districts. 1t vAs found
impossible, however, to get material up
to Leadville at less than exorbitant
rates, SO the plan was enlarged and the
road was built to Leadville from Colo
RADIO Springs. This portion was COM
pleted in September, 1887, to Aspen in
FEBRUARY, 1883, and to New Castle in
october, 1888. The road did not paw
till 1892, when the earnings were more
than 81, 0000 00
I The road cost nearly $4,000 900. and
only recently another 1000, 900 was ex-
pended in completing the Busk-Ivanhoe
tunnel under Hagerman pass. This is
9,S50 feet long and effects a tremendous
saving in the expenses of operating.
The $50 miles of road operated by
the Midland includes a short stretch
OF rail from Grand junction to New
Castle, which is used jointly with the
Denver & Rio Grande. This portion
VIII not be affected by the receivership,
because OF the rival roads interests.
The great expense of operating the
Midland has made it a risky property,
and it is claimed that the road has
cost the Santa Fe a great deal of
money since that company took possess
sion of it by purchasing the entire
amount of stock.
The equipment of the Midland con-
sists of 1925 freight cars, fifty-one en-
g1nes. thirty-seven coaches and a pro
portionate amount of miscellaneous
rolling stock Two years ago when
conditions were better the road en-
ployed 1,16O men.

Why Women Live LANCER.

In the forty-ninth registration report
of Massachusetts $3.50 the compiler
presents the statistics of 2O3 persons
who were reported as having died DUR
ing the ten years QSS1-90) at the age
of 100 and over. OF this number 153,
or 754 per cent were females. BY the
state census of 1885 the number of
females living over 80 years of age was
nearly double that of males. The
greater exposure of men to accidents,
to weather agencies. to the constant
strain of business life, to the anxiety
of providing for the family. all tend
to shorten the life of men. The deaths
by accident among men are more than
threefold greater than among women,
and men commit suicide in about d
threefold ratio as compared with wo-
men.-New York Commercial Adyer-

The Land Barons of Loutstan.

AHe Lana barOnS OF Louisiana.
The New Orleans Picayune prints a
table of the land barons of Louisiana
and their holdingsfof unimproved tim
Der and swamp tracts, from which it
appears that alien syndicates, com
panieS and individuals own more than
100000 acres. One syndicate claims
100000 acres, several possess 100000 and
more, and holdings from 10000 to co.
600 acres are not uncommon Most of
this land is owned in the western
states, but to capitalists of New York
and Philadelphia several thousand
acres belong. The Picayune exrlains
that originally the United States
Iowned all of the lands in Louisiana
other than those which at the time of
the ceSsion of France were held by
private persons or corporations. Sub
sequently what were known as swamp
lands, that is to say, lands that we're
or were annually flooded by the Mis-
sissippi, became the property of the
state, with the provision that it. should
sell them for the purpose Of raising a
fund to build levees. A considerable
TERRITORY, consisting of prairie and for
est land, was retained by the Orited
States to be sold as homesteads. Such
ia disposition was made of this land.
but it is now largely in the possession
of syndicates. The Picayune's table
includes the swamp, homestead and
sea marsh lands. The last named, a
lions share of which has been &C.
quired by the Watkins syndicate, must
be drained and diked like the iIolland
coast, and some progress in this work
has already been made.-Boston Tran

The Weight of Rees

An interesting note about the weight
of bees appears in an American jour
nal devoted the Agriculture. 1t seems
that an ordinary bee, not carrying any
load of pollen, weighs the one five thou
sandth of a pound. Five thousand bees
thus make up a pound weight When,
however, the bee is carrying his load
of pollen or honey, as he returns from
foraging amid the flowers, his weight
is increased three times. He carries
thus about twice his own weight, a
result not surprising to those who have
studied the muscular powers and ways
of insects at large. When bees are
loaded it requires only 1900 of them to
make up the pound. Details are also
given regarding the number of bees
which may exist in hive From four
pound to five-pound weight Of bees
are found in an ordinary colony. This
means in figures of population some
10000 to $4,000 individuals. A big swarm,
it IS lid, will often double this esti-
mate.-Dr. Andrew Wilson.
