SPRECKELS' JAR.
1T HAS NOW REACHED AN EXCIT-
ING STAGE.
zler and the Son says the Old Man
is n SIanderer-A Pretty Mess.

San Francisco. April 4.-The row in
the Spreckels family has reached
somewhat sensational stage. Young
Gus" Spreckles filed a complaint in
the superior court today charging his
father, Claus Spreckels, with Islander.
This charge grows out of the suits
recently begun by the two younger
Spreckels brothers against their father
and their two older brothers to re-
cover stock is the Spreckels Hawaii
sugar business and the Oceanic
Steamship company. The suit involv-
ing the Oceanic Steamship company
was recently brought by Gus Spreck-
els, who instituted mandamus pro-
ceedings to compel the directors of
the company to call an annual meet
ing. He alleged that by refusing to
do so, they were keeping him out of
representation on the board of direc-
tors.
After this suit had been filed, Claus
Spreckels, in newspaper interview,
said some very rough things about
his younger sons. He practically
charged Gus with the embezzlemenlt
of $250,000 in 1891, while managing the
Spreckels Sugar refinery in Philadel-
phia. The father also charged that
the suit against the Oceanic Steam
ship company was simply "a piece of
blackmair' by which the younger bro
theirs were trying TO beat him out of
100000. The father further alleged
that Gus had wasted his money, would
soon be bankrupt and would prob
ably die in the gutter" AS a result
of all this alleged defamation young
Sprecbels complains that his reputa-
ton and prospects have been dam
aged many thousands of dollars. In
his complaint he recites that he has
actually been damaged to the extent
of s2,00OoOo. but that it is not money
which he wants. He therefore sues
for but $500 damages, a nominal sum.
as his desire is simply ito clear him
self of the charges which his father
has so publicly made against him.

ALLIANCE AFFAIR.
No Doubt But That She Was Hailed
and Showed the American Flag.


Havana, April Am interesting bit
Of news came from Santiago de Cuba.
a correspondent writing March Is,
states that he has been looking into
the Alliance affair and he makes the
statement that the Alliance was
hailed, and displayed the American
flag and not that of England, as re-
ported by the commander CT the
Condo Da Venadito.
The land lines Of telegraph west
ward of the island are in Wretched
condition. The government frankly
states that there is serious interrup-
ton. There is communication along
the coast by cable, but the land lines
which have not been so much needed
in peace are now vital and are to be
fixed up. These lines are said to be
strung on trees wherever possible and
the necks of beer and other bottles
have been used as insulators. There
are those who believe the Spanish
government have paid sums that are
supposed to properly maintain these
lines. The autonomistic party here
favors such a relation of Cuba to
Spain as is sustained to England by
her colonies. Independence is not de-
sired. A meeting Of the party was
held yesterday to deplore the rebel
lion and to offer aid to Spain The
same action has been taken by the
autonomists of Porto Rico. The reso-
buttons embodying these views have
been forwarded to Rafael Maria de
Labra, the Cuban leader of the party

GOOD POINTS ON BUTTER-MAkINa.

A writer in the st. Louis Republis

when the milk is set for the cream to
rise it will not know the difference be-
tween July and October. A uniform
temperature of the milk while tlsl
cream is rising of about 90 degrees

the milk is put must be clean and the
milking be done in a cleanly manner.
Cream can only rise by falling tenn
perature Of the milk Hence the milk
should be strained and set away to
cool as soon as possible after it is
drawn, so as not to stir up the milk
after it has partly cooled, or perfect
rising will be prevented. The cream
must be taken off before it gets too
thick. Under no conditions should the
milk or cream be allowed to become
too sour. The best butter Is made
from cream that is just slightly acidal
If the milk or cream Is allowed to
stand until whey forms in the bottom
of the vessel the quality of the butter
is certain to be impaired. Remember
that the butter that is in demand has
grain to it and is not a mass of fatty
wax, and to secure this the buttermilk
must be washed out rather than
worked out, as working out is almost
certain to destroy the grain. Wash the
butter in clear, cool water until the
water runs off clear. All the working
that is necessary is what is needed to
incorporate the salt with it, and even
this must be done carefully. The salt
ing should always be done while the
butter is wet. Only what salt will dis
solve in it should be used; any more
than this viii not help to preserve,
while it is apt to make the butter

away as soon as sailed. Keep it from

butter to lose flavor and color. When

as extra choice, it is evident that ther
is considerable room for improvemeEE
in the methods of making it. AS long
as there is only this small proportion
of the best produced, there is no dan
ger of over-production. The same
milk and cream in the hands of a skill
full careful workman will make a fine
quality of product as readily as it does
a poor quality when carelessly man

to decrease the production of substi-

An agricultural writer mas estimated
that the farmers of the United States

tear of horsefiesh and the loss of time
consequent upon the use of the ordi-

Gus sum of $500, 100000. By an expert

university, it was found that double

stead of cutting them into ruts. This
is so we'll understood in the old coun-
tries that some European governments
lay tax on the narrow tires, and the
money thus accumulated is spent in
keeping the roads in order.

GOOD BUTTER ALWAYS IN DEMAND

The question is often asked by those
who are thinking of going into the
dairy business: Is there not danger of
OVERRIDING the thing? If we all get to
making a fine article viii there be a
sale for it. Bless your innocent soul
that has been the pretended scare Of
lazy people since the world began. A
few years ago the butter consumed in :
England was made in Ireland. while
English farmers made the cheese.
Then France stepped into the butter
market and ran Ireland cut. In the
past few years Sweden has run France
out, and now comes Australia and
even Canada making desperate efforts
to dislodge Sweden, and the chances
are they will do it. I have told of New
York first getting it's fine butter from
Philadelphia, then from Orange county
and now from Elgin. While it is true
that the man who could make fine but
ter ten years ago was 50 scarce an ar
ticle that he got a higher price than
ne now can, yet there has been no
slump" in the market. He still has
wide margin between cost and price
obtained. The United States took the
English cheese market away from the
English farmer and now the Cam
adams have taken it away from thA
United States, and it is only a ques-
ton of energy and pluck as to who

the same, but of greater enlightenment
in the methods of manufacture which
insures a better article. In its day
Philadelphia butter was the best on
the market, but Orange county was
better and Elgin was infinitely better
still. If the natural genius of the
southern states will turn its attention
TO butter-making it is dollars to dough-
nuts that in a few years they can COM
mand the markets of the world. Butter
is a manufactured article. 1t is the
most condensed form in which a farm
product of its value can be sent to
market. That is, about one ton of hay
and ten bushels of corn can be put into
a tub of butter representing about fif-
teen dollars Of farm product, and this
tub can be sent anywhere in the world
cheaper for freight than that value of
farm produce in any other shape, and
if the article is good to begin with
there is, relatively speaking, no danger
of meeting a losing markell. S.
