DEAR SIR:-In reply TO yours of II .
10th inst. regarding the National Cane
Shredder furnished by the Universal
Mill Co. of New York, and erected by
the Hilo Sugar Co. this past season,
would beg to say, that il has now been
in operation day and night during the past
three weeks working on plant cane, and
also hard ratoons, and it is giving me the
greatest satisfaction. The more l see of
its capabilities, the better pleased | am
that | put it in, as | am satisfied that il
will repay the original outlay in a short
time, in saving of labor, higher extrac-
ton, etc.
1t is shredding from $50 to 400 tons of
cane every % hours with the greatest
ease, and it could shred a much larger
quantity il necessary. 1t delivers the
shredded cane in an even uniform feed
to the three roller mill, which receives it
without the intervention of any labor,
and as the cane is thoroughly shredded
or disintegrated it relieves the mill of a
great deal of strain, thus reducing the
liability of broken shafts, gearing, etc
There is a saving of four az men daily
on the mill, as only one man IS required
to regulate the amount of cane delivered
by the carrier to the shredder. II has
increased the extraction from to
5 per cent.
The economical use OF steam is gene
rally a serious consideration in adding
new machinery, as in most mills the
boiler power is taxed to it's highest limit,
as it was in this mill, and any increased
demand necessitated an additional boil
err. But find that the shredder and the
three roll mill engines combined use no
more steam than the three roll mill
engine did when working on whole cane,
while doing better work and more of it,
and owing to the uniform feed on the
mill, the engine demands very little
attention.
The Megass from the shredded. Ane
makes superior fuel, and the firel. IN
have less difficulty in maintaining uni
form pressure of steam than formerly.
l will be pleased to have a call from
parties interested, as it is necessary 10
see the machine at work to fully app g.
ciate it's capabilities.
/ remain, very truly yours,

Washington Club Players Put in Work

KIDS AGAIN DEFEAT THE VETS
Pitchers Show Up in Good Shape, and Keep
the Hits Well scattered-Joyce and Joe
Sullivan Report for Duty-General Sport
ing News Of Interest.

Manager Schmelz gave the members of the
ball team some more good practice yesterday
afternoon, and again the Kids came out
ahead Of the Vets. Egan pitched the entire
nine innings for the winners. and he kept the
eleven hits well scattered, as the paucIty of
runs will testify. Esper and Petty did the
twirling for the Vets, and they both showed
up well. The pitching of all three men was
much better than heretofore and shows that
they are rounding-to in nice shape.
The youngsters scored twice in the third
inning on hits by Egan and Ward and Sell
bachs fly out to center. They made another
pair in the fourth on safe hits by Tebeau,
Hassamaer and Dugdale and the latter's out
at second. Their two last came in the eighth
on singles by Selbach, Cartwright, and
Tebeau and stolen bases by the two latter.
The Vets made couple of tallies in the
fourth on an error by Mcmahon and hits by
Stockdale and Esper. In the sixth Radford
got around on his single, steal and Kins-
lows hit. Petty hit for three bases in the
seventh and crossed the plate on MERGERS
single. The Vets got in their last run on hits
by Kinslow, Mulvey, and Mercer. The score:

The House Is Ready to Complete the Sundry
Civil Bill.


Civil Bill.
Although the House did not complete tn e
consideration of the sundry civil appropria-
tion bill yesterday, Chairman Sayers, by the
exercise of mastery diplomacy, succeeded in
efTecting an arrangement which will bring it
to final vote before 5 o'clock to-day. Most
of the day was spent in the discussion of the
item appropriating s75O,OO for the Missouri
river This item led to general canvass OF
the merits of the continuing contract system
begun in 1896 and the work of the river COM
missions.
The amendments looking to diversion of
portions OF the appropriation for emergency
work at Atchison and for strengthening the
revetments along Sioux City were defeated.
The remainder of the afternoon was devoted
to the discussions of two propositions, one
requiring the disbursinG officer OF soldiers
homes to give bond TO the government and
providing for the auditing of their accounts
by tine Treasury Department. and the other
requiring the board of managers 10 make an
nual reports of the condition OF the homes to
the Secretary of War for transmission to Con-
gress
Gen. Black opposed this change on the
ground that it would interfere with the pien-
agy powers of the board of managers. He
made u point of order against it, which Mr..
Lester, III the chair, intimated to-day he would
sustain. After the passage of the sundry
civil bill tomorrow the House will immedi-
ately proceed to the consideration OF the JOY

attraction had been well advertised, and the
people of the place were wild for some sort Of
an entertainment. The hall in which the
show was given was hardly fitted for the
spectacle. but the management made the best
of the surroundings and gave performances
10 enormous crowds. The show got into
Cripple Creek late Sunday afternoon. The
entire population was out to see the stage
come in. and when the girls climbed down
and went into the hotel a shout went up that
was in itself great advertisement for the
attraction. Everybody who could secure a
seat at advanced prices was in the building
when the curtain went up. 1t was far after
IL O'Clock when the first performance came
to an end. The cheers OF the miners and
others of the audience made the most vigor-
Gus applause that the Spider and Fly artists
had heard in many day. Some of the
miners wanted the girls to stay in Cripple
Creek and marry them, but the girls de-

psrique Makes a stiff Smoke.

tFrom the Lewiston Evening Journal
The tobacco merchant was showing US
yard of perique tobacco. .'No man can
smoke perique straight" said he, land those
who know it best use about one-eighth
perique and the rest other tobacco. l well
remember the first that l ever smoked. My
friends put up the trick on me, and when
came TO myself 1 had the pipe with me, but
didn't know where had been. Later / had
four pounds of it sent to me from New
Orleans as heavy as roped molasses. l filed
a pipe with it and covered it with dry ashes
and laid it away for n friend of mine who
never bought a pipeful of tobacco in his life,
and who always was smoking in my store.
He came in. and how his eyes glistened at
sight of the full pipe He lit it and sat down.
In five minutes it fell from his hands. his
head went back. and he had passed away.
He slept over two hours. and l got afraid.
We couldn't awake him. and 1t was fully four
hours before he came TO himself. He never
smoked my pipe again"

CURRENT SPORTING GOSSIP.

It is thought Congress will take action on
the race bill this week, and every horse owner
now at both Benning's and Ivy City, as well
as the general public, are anxiously awaiting
the result. AS the majority Of members OF the
House and Senate committees are In favor OF
the bill, there will probably be little trouble
in getting it through. When once passed,
racing interests in the District will take an
upward jump.

NAVY YARD PRECEDENCE.
Senator Mcphcrson's Bill VIII Meet Oppo
sition from Employees.


Senator Smith, of New Jersey, acting for
Senator Mcpherson, introduced a bill in the
Senate yesterday providing that all persons
who have served as master mechanics in any
United States navy yard and who have served
a regular apprenticeship of five years In any
United States navy yard shall he entitled to
receive two-thirds of the highest pay they
received while in the service, and that all
mechanics who shall have served an appren-
ticeship of five years in navy yard shall
have preference given them for employment
government work. He also introduced a bill
providing for the creation OF the office of
assistant chief of the bureau of supplies and
accounts.
This bill will undoubtedly be vigorously op-
posed by the employees OF the Washington
navy yard because, it is claimed to be class
legislation of the most pronounced stripe in
asmuch as it Is the basis of a civil pension list.
prominent mechanic said last evening
that the bill would benefit George Il. Wilson,
the master machinist in the gun-carriage
shop. Foreman Woods, and possibly a few
others in the Washington navy yard. The
employers collectively of the yard have a bill
pending in Congress extending the thirty
days leave of absence clause to the yard,
which is the only branch OF the government
service not receiving this benefit
1t is suspected by those interested that the
failure of Congress to act on this bill is due
to the Secretary Of the Navy Withholding his
approval on the possible score OF economy.
