the scheme was handsomely rewarded,

the lawyer was directed to formulate a
plan for an unincorporated organization
in order to avoid the antitrust laws. In
each case the carefully gotten up scheme
was in time declared illegal by the
courts, the Standard Oil in Ohio and

to the dogs The Sugar trust people feel
equally certain that they are the salt Of
the sugar business, SO to speak A very
large number of persons outside the
charmed circle of stockholders to whom
fat dividends are paid believe that trusts
generally and these two in particular
work great injustice and hardship to
the masses.
The projectors Of the Standard Oil
company blazed out g new path, and Law
yer Dodd, who was employed by them
to put their plan into legal shape, was
an obscure and comparatively untried
practitioner Of Pennsylvania The orig
inators of the Sugar trust We're imita-
tive in their plan and selected for their
counsel John E. Parsons Of New York,
than whom no practitioner in the Unit
ed States had a larger income at the
time. Both trusts, when declared illegal
as conducted under the unchartered
plan, were reorganized at once as cor
porations under the auspices of the same
lawyers who drew up tho original
schemes. The Standard Oil company
was created by men who We're born poor
and had won wealth by dint of hard
struggling. The Sugar trust was Great
ed by men who inherited their wealth
won when they were boys by their
fathers. Opulence beyond the dreams of
avarice'' has been the reward of all par
ties connected with both organizations,
but the Standard Oil magnates are much
less fond of displaying their wealth
than the Sugar trust men. Each organ
ization has one member who is conspic-
uous for his benovolence In the Stand
ard Oil this is John d. Rockefeller; in
the Sugar trust it is Henry o. Have
meyer. Mr.. Rockefeller has shown his
open handedness to d much greater de-
gree than has Mr. Havemeyer. but per-
haps the wealth of the former is as
much greater than the 1atter's as his
benevOlence. In both cases the trust
managers have been glad to amalgamate
with such competitors as they could not
crush, the late Charles Pratt Of Brook
Ign being perhaps the most conspicuous
one taken IN by the Standard Oil, and
Claus Spreckels the best known Of those
received into the fold Of the Sugar trust
The leading spirits in both have been
brothers, and all the magnates of both
trusts dislike newspaper notoriety. For

cratic side and as such aided materially
in rolling up big vote for Cleveland
in the Empire State. Mr.. Meyer is 40
years Of age.
Claus Spreckels, for years known as
the worlds sugar king, is a native of
Hanover, Germany. His exact age has
never been given out, but he must be a
very old man, for it was more than half
a century ago that he came to America,
and he was then between 20 and 80.
He first settled in New York, where he
started a grocery store, but when the
California gold fever broke out he gave
up his grocery business and betooHr him
self to the Pacific slope, though not to
break his back digging for the precious
metal 1t was clear to him that the
surest source of gain lay in selling sup
plies to the men who took their chances
in the mines, and the event proved the
correctness Of his vision. Everything
he touched returned him handsome prof
its, and when his brothers joined him
on the coast they combined in the brew
cry business A few years later he went
into sugar, having observed that cane
grew luxuriantly on the Sandwich Is
lands; that labor was cheap there, and
that Hawaii was nearer San Francisco, so
far as cost Of transportation between the
two places IS concerned, than Louisiana.
The growth Of Spreckels' saccharine
enterprise was Of the sort that is said
by imaginative writers to remind them
of the stories of suddenly acquired
wealth that are to be found in the
Arabian Nights y Along with his
monetary acquisitions he secured almost
unlimited power over King Kalakua,
then the ruler Of Hawaii, who fell so
completely under Spreclzels' DONNA
ton that he and not the dGsly monarch
was said to be the real sovereign. He
now owned the largest sugar plantation
in the world-16, 900 acres. 1t took
four steamers TO carry his raw sugar to
San Francisco to be refined, and there
was no competition worth speaking of
west Of the Rockies Then the Sugar
trust was formed in the east, the weak
er refineries of the coast joined the new
organization, and Spreckels had fight
on his hands. He did not shrink, but
proceeded to build a refinery in Phila-
delphia to teach the trust a lesson He
found after a time, however, that he
could not down the trust. Its managers,
in turn. discovered that they could not
wipe him out, and the result was ANAL
gamation, though not until both parties
to the contest had squandered consider
able sums of money therein

The Sugar trust investigation has turn

THE COUNT OF PARI,.
His BODY Laid Away on English
Soil.

LONDON, Sept. 12.-Private mass for
the dead was celebrated at Stow House
at I o'clock this morning. The cere.
mony was attended by members of the
Count of Paris family only. The cor
teye left the Stowe House at 7:3O, the
body being conveyed in a hcarse drawn
BY SIX white horses. The hearse was
followed by 20 carriages containing the
princes and princesses connected by ties
OF blood or marriage with the Orleans
family. The procession was received at
the railway station by the mayor and
municipal authorities of Buckingham.
The blinds OF the houses along the route
to the station were closed and the road
was lined with silent spectators. A syc-
clal tram conveying the body started for
Wcbridge at 81 30. The cars were all
draped with black.
The funeral train arrived at Wcibridgc
at noon. 1t had been preceded by four
special trains from London bearing the
Duke OF York, the Duke of Connaught,
the Marquis of Lorne and a large num-
Der OF the French nobility. The process
sion formed at the station and the body
was taken to the church. The Duo d.
Orleans and other princes of the family
walked immediately behind the hcarse.
All of the soemnitics OF the church were
observed. The services concluded with
the pronouncemcnt of absolution by
Cardinal Vaughn. after which the body
was placed in vault near the altar,
