JOE AS A MUGWUMP.

Scranton Free Press: Wi. the "1nde-
pendent" (he' Republican's) 'or the
Straight" (The %Tribune's) ticket win?
That is the question. The Tribune has q
great advantage over the Republican, so
far as the titles of the ticket are con-
cerned. In the past, the average "Inde-
pendent movement in this, as well as 9TH
err localities, has been avoided on account
of its being nursed ard Matched by dis
gruntled politicians. The independently

defeated, refusing to abide by the conven-

pose candidates in the convention, but
once they succeed, a~ntagonism ceases, and

SURPLUS CHARGED OFF.

Chicago Bank Takes Radical Measures to
Get Rid of Slow sccuritic~.
CHICAGO, Aug. THE fast Ma
tional bank has charged off its surplus
81, O00, 900, transferring that sum to the
profit and loss account. Never before
have such heroic measures been taken
by a Chicago bank. In charging off
this large sum from its surplus the
directors have completely wiped
out the real estate which the
bank has taken at one time or
another, and which is said to repre-
sent a value of some $4OO, 900. The
bank charged literally from its undi-
vided profits at the beginning Of last
year. The banks statement to the
comptroller. Dec. 10. 1898, showed un.
divided profits of $6Sy, 949. Jan. / it
charged of something like $500, 600 for
its undivided profits.
There is nothing to say about the
matter" said President Gage, further
than the bank has made losses and &C.
cumulated doubtful assets which it haa
now been deemed wise to charge off in
this sweeping way. We might have
worried along and brought out all Of
those assets so no loss would have been
shown. II we are still able to do that
it will simply go into profits as we re.

FOR A G TOWN..

ColoEed Population Of the Twin City of
Kansas Have . Novel Scheme.
There is a scheme on foot between
leading colored citizens of the two Kan
sas Cities to select a town site on one of
the railroads within ten miles Of Kansas
City, lay of a city and populate it with
colored people who may desire to buy
homes for themselves. The object is to
afford q chance to the negro of living on
his own land in preference to paying
rentals. Such wealthy colored men as
T. J. Grove Of Edwardsville, Kan, and
Charles Ewing Of Loring, Kan, will be
invited to invest their money for the
benefit Of the race.
The scheme is to purchase 500 acres
Of Land in q body at prices ranging from
$40 to $40 an acre. It is intended to set
apart landfor public buildings, park and
cemetery, the remainder to be sold for $50
per lot Of one-half acre each. The bust
ness portion of the town will be divided
into lots % by 160 feet. Subscriptions
will be solicited from all over the south.
After the town is plated arrange
ments will be made for cheap rates be-
tween the new city and Kansas City
and the workmen who move their fam
lilies to their new homes can get to their
daily labor in Kansas City and get back
to their homes every night at a rate as
cheap as Car fare. The projectors of the
scheme intend to put 800 families in
the new town to start with, and when
they are Joined by others outside capital
will be invested and industries started.

A SWEET ELEPHANT.
How to Get Rid Of 2s.OOO.O 900 Gallons Of
Molasses-A solution OF the Difaculty.

How TO Get Rid of $4,000. 900 Gallons Of
Molasses-A solution Of the Dificulty.
There are 25, 200. 900 gallons of mo-
lasses stored in tanks on the various
sugar plantations throughout Louisiana
that is an elephant on the sugar plant
ers' hands. They do not know what to
do with it. They cannot sell it, for any
profit in sight by it's sale would be eaten
up in transportation. Besides it would
require a cool $685.. 900 to barrel it.
The question Of what disposition to
make OF this molasses is a knotty one to
the sugar planters, and at the last two
meetings Of their association no other
subject has been discussed. The planters
say that it is a problem that has to be
solved. for before the next crop is taken
of this surplus molasses has to be got
rid Of in order to make room for the
new crop.-New Orleans Times-D Demo-
crat.
Perhaps the oldest pavement ever laid

is made mostly of molasses, and if it
proves all Of the success claimed for it
1t may point a way for the sugar plant
ers Of the south to profitably dispose of
the millions Of gallons Of useless mo-
lasses which they are said to have ON
hand.
The head chemist Of a sugar factory
at Chino, Mr.. E. Turke, was led to make
certain experiments, of which the new
sidewalk, a thousand feet long from the
factory ID the main street, is the result.
The molasses used is a refuse product
hitherto believed to be of no value. 1t
Is simply mixed with a certain kind of
sand to about the consistency Of asphalt
and laid like an asphalt pavement. The
composition dries quickly and becomes
quite hard and remains so. The peculiar
point Of it is that the sun only makes it
drier and harder instead Of softening it,
as might be expected.

long, a foot wide, and an inch thick,

B0ston's Great Project. .

Boston proposes to have a hotel that
will rival in magnifcence and size any

SHIFTING THE BLAME.
The Shearer Lecture Bureau Intimates
that Talmags Is Responsible for the
Late Ohautauqua Disappoint-
ment.

President J. 81. Williamson Of the
Chautauqua association to-day received
the following letter from j. L. Shearer
Of the Shearer Lecture and Musical Blu
reau OF Cincinnati, O., under date Of
July 81, 1895:
"Dear Strive are in receipt of your
letter Of July 25th, and are astonished
beyond to read the telegram
sent you by Mr.. Talmage. We will in
vestigate the matter fully and report to
you. Before the agreement was made,
W. notified you that it would be difficult
to get the Doctor through in time, but
you seemed willing to run the risk. AT.
ter the engagement was made, the list
was sent to DR.. Talmage and he raised
no objection whatsoever until July 14th
at Lakeside, o., when I had q personal
interview with him and he did o even
then state positively that he would not
go to Madison, but in a joking manner
said that he did not want to break the
Sabbath, but when he left I had no
thought Of disappointment. The tele-
gram to which he refers was never re-
ceived by me. II he could not get
through, he should have telegraphed
you. However, We cannot put this mat
ter in shape until we have seen him.
He is booked in this city for August
9Th, and will write you further after
that date. We can assure you that this
disappointment means a great deal to us
and we will see to it that the case is sat.
isfactorlly explained and the blame put
where 1t belongs. J. L. SHEARER."
This communication throws the re.
sponsibility for Mr.. Talmage's failure to
appear here somewhat upon the noted
lecturer himself. 1t clearly lies between
him and the bureau, and in due time
Mr.. Williamson says the management
here will push the matter to its ulti.
mate determination. Out OF considera.
ton for Mr.. Talmage's personal feelings
in the loss Of his wife on the 9Th inst.
Mr.. Williamson says they will not crowd
the matter for the present, but will in
form Mr.. Shearer Of the damage the as
ISOLATION has suffered not only in reputa
ton both present and future, but viii
suffer financially in the future as a re-
suit OF this disappointment, aud that
satisfaction to the fullest extent will b.
demanded.
