CONVENTION OF SUGAR MEN.
A Representative Gatheringlin Ses-
sion at New Orleans.

New ORLEANS, May 1.-THE
sugar convention met at noon at
the Academy of Music, which was
crowded with representatives of the
sugar interests at that hour. The
gathering was a thoroughly repre-
sentative one. The convention was
called to order by President Murphy
of the Sugar Exchange, acting for
the planters. Mr.. Mccall, who
believes the defeat of the Wilson
bill would be death to the sugar
interests, was chairman. The con-
servatlve element, it would seem,
therefore, will control the conven
ton. Ex-Governor Yarmouth is
taking leading part in the pro-
ceedings The convention, having
organized at o'clock, Immediately
proceeded to the transaction of
business.
Resolutions were adopted de-
claring that the sugar schedule of
the Senate Finance Committee, fix
ing the duty on raw sugar at 40 per
cent. ad valorem, is adequate protec
ton to the home producer, and that
it is impossible for the cane grow
ers and sugar manufacturers of
Louisiana to pay for the actual
cost of production at that rate of
duty that the sugar tariff was in
stltuted from the beginning of the
Government, and was continued
until 1890 when the Mckinley
bounty went into operation, the
bounty being supposed to take the
place of the duty then prevailing,
although the bounty itself was
reduction of the rates of the
tariff law; that under the influence
of that bounty the sugar industry
of Louisiana has been increased
in three years from 10000 to
100000 tons; that if the present
law be abrogated and the duty
adopted, the sugar industry will be
practically destroyed. There was
also protest against the continu-
ance of Hawaiian reciprocity. The
Legislature, in selecting United
States Senators, is advised to elect
only men who can be relied upon
at all times to stand up for rice
and sugar.

Saved His Dignity.

One of the chief men in the early his
tory of Weston, Mass, was Francis
Fullam, commonly known as Squire
Fullam. He was justice Of the peace
and one of the pillars of the church. and
on Sundays always sat with his eyes
fixed upon the minister, as if conscious
of being a worthy example to the rest Of
the congregation. One Sabbath morning,
during Parson Woodward's sermon, an
old colored woman in the gallery fell
asleep and tumbled off tie bench to the
floor, making loud noise. Squire Full
lam. who was rather deaf, knew that
something unusual had occurred, and
feeling the dignity of his position as JUS
tice of the peace he rose to his feet and
called out:
''Stop, reverend sirl'
MIR. Woodward ceased speaking, and
the old squire said in stentorian tones:
eff any one has discharged a gun in
this meeting holse, let him be brought
before me tomorrow morning at 0
O'Clock.
Some one explained TO him the cause
OF the disturbance, and he added:
''If what l thought had happened,
what said was right Proceed, rever-
end sir. +"
Thereupon Mr.. Woodward resumed
his discourse, and the service proceeded
as usually uth' 8 Companion.

vile, it is low, level, monotonous, an
interminable stretch of piny flatwoods,

some sawmill, or lonesome cabin, or

istless and contented negro appears to

Curious Customs Of Some Foreign People
as They Appear to U.s.
In Sweden, if you address the poorest
person ON the street, you must lift your
hat The Same courtesy is insisted upon
If you pass lady on the stairway.
To enter a reading room or a bank
with ones hat on Is regarded Is bad
breach Of manners To place your hand
on the arm Of a lady is grave and OBJ
jectionable familiarity. Never touch the
person. It IS sacred. is one OF their PROV
cribs
In Holland a lady is expected to re-
tire precipitately if she should enter
store or q restaurant where men are con-
gregatcd. She waits until they have
transacted their business and departed
Ladies seldom rise in Spain to receive
a male visitor, and they rarely accom-
pany him to the door. For a Spaniard to
give lady, even his wife, his arm when
out walking is looked upon as q decided
violation Of propriety.
In Persia, among the aristocracy, q
visitor sends notice an hour or two be-
fore calling and gives q days notice if
the visit Is one of great Importance. He
is met by servants before he reaches the
house, and other considerations are
shown him according to relative rank.
The left and not the right is considered
the position of honor.
No Turk will enter a sitting room
with dirty shoes The upper classes
wear tight fitting shoes, with goloshes
over them The latter, which receive
all the dirt and dust, are left outside the
door. The Turk never washes in dirty
water. Water is poured over his hands,
SO that when polluted it runs away.
In Syria the people never take off their
caps or turbans when entering the house
or visiting friend, but they always
leave their shoes at the door. There are
no mats or scrapers outside, and the
floors inside are covered with expensive
rugs, kept very clean in Moslem houses,
and used TO kneel upon while saying
prayers. -Philadelph Press
