SHE DIDN'T KNOW HIS NAME.
Che Novel Experience Of Some Illinois
Volunteers

That . woman can marry and not
know her husbands name seems i'm
possible, yet such woman was found
in remote place In the south during
the civil war, according to the histo-
rian Of the Thirteenth Illinois volun-
teers. Certain Of the soldiers Of that
regiment, being socially disposed, went
one evening to make call at house
not far from the camps They received
a not over-warm welcome from the
residents, an old woman and her
daughter.
The old woman sat in splint-bot-
toned chair, industriously smoking a
corn-cob pipe.
During the conversation one OF the
boys inquired her husbands name,

SUGAR BOUNTY.
Tho Action of the Sugar Planters
Calls Attention to the Subject.
STATISTICS OF The TREASURY.
4 Dispute ~ to Claims for Sugar Bountiea
Unpaid Prior to August ~, 1894
Bonds to Be Issued to
Cher0kees.

WASHINGTON, Sept. lo.-The reported
action Of the sugar planters conven-
ton ct New Orleans, favoring an ALI
snce with the republican party on ma
tional Issues, on the ground that they
had been betrayed by the democratic
party in denying them protection
for sugar, calls attention to the sub
feet Of sugar bounty. The records
Of the treasury department show that
during the fiscal year ended June 80
1894, the payments as bountyon sugar
aggregated sl2, 900, 500, Of which Sill
lil,29O was on cane sugar, sS59, ia on
beet sugar, sl7,sl2 on sorghum and
Slle,l2i on maple. OF the bounty on
cane sugar, 1868, 500 was paid TO pro-
ducers OF Louisiana, S223, 1866 OF Texas,
GEE, lis Of Florida, and Sl55 Of Missis-
sippi
The records also show that 81, ia, 200
bounty on cane sugar was paid to 57s
producers, an average Of $40, 1886 to
each producer. The amount paid as
bounty on beet sugars was divided
among seven producers or factories,
making the average payment to each
elel,7S9 This, however, represents
only small proportion Of the number
Of bensAciaries under the act, as each
factory handles the crops Of large
number Of growers This Is also true
Of the cane factories, only the proper
ton Of factories to producers Is be-
lieved to be much less, while many
persons employed In the works are in
direct benefciaries.
The figures on acreage for the year
ended June 80, 1894, are not yet oil in,
but those for the preceding year show
that In the state Of Louisiana the
bounty averaged s4752 for each acre
Of cane Produced; in Texas, 1884, per
acre, and In Florida, s5s.23 per acre. 1t
Is believed that the average bounty per
acre Of cane produced in Louisiana for
the year ended June 30, 1894, Will be
about $50.
Secretary Carlisle Is expected to-day
10 render decision on claims for sugar
bounties unpaid prior to August ",
1894, when the new tariff bill became
q law. The amount involved Is about
100000. The secretary will hold that
under the law he is not only unauthor-
lied to make these payments, but is
specifically instructed by the new tariff
act not To pay them.
The sugar producers, on the other
hand contend that congress had no
right and did not intend to prohibit
the payment of bounties on sugar pro-
duced while the act Of 1900 was in
force, and that tho licenses issued upder
that act are In the nature OF contracts,
and carry with them the obligation OF
the government to pay bounties pro-
vided for by that aot, These licenses
