DR. TEMPLE, the new Archbishop OF
Canserpury, is especially anxious to have
the bishops OF the American Episcopal
Church present ct the Lambeth confer
ence next July. He says: "One OF the
topics for discussion is international
arbitration, and / may say that the
bishops in England are profoundly
thankful for the turn that the recent
political events have taken. do hope
eli of our brothers in the United States
and Canada who have intimated the
probs biIity OF their coming will manage
to do so, and that those who at present
anticipate being prevented will yet see
their way to visit Lambeth oy July 8
next. need hardly add peanaps, that
the candid invitation sent them by the
late primate Will be repeated by myself
In the fullest degree"

SUGAR FROM BEETs.

The bset sugar that we get from Ger
many oitener goes into confectionery and
plug tobacco than into the family sugar
bowl. And yet 1T Is said that the average
person cannot tell the difference between
sugar made frcm beets and cane granu-
lated sugar. 1t is said that the beet
surar. though not so white as our ordi-
nary sugar, is really cleaner product.
In the West beet root sugar making is
now being quite extensively culti-
yates ana tn, product can be
sold at a profit q little below the product
of the cane, which il practically con-
trolled in this country by the
American Sugar Refining Company,
otherwise the Sugar Trust. Only In
the far West, it appears, is the soil OF a
kind to grow the sugar beet satistac-
torily. and the industry of refining has
not yet progressed 60 far that We hear
much of IL In the East or get much OF the
product hereabouts. At no distant day,
however, beet sugar may be bigger
rival to cane sugar than oleomargarine is
( to butter.

AccoRDrNo to the eleventh census
there were 15o, ,a69 colored voters In Mis-
sissippi in 1890. The New York Tribu ne
claims that at least nine-tenths OF these

tural increase of this vote In the last six
years, and yet, according to the election
returns from that State, only 4,s49 votes
we're cast for MCKINLEY, against 80, ,s63 for
BRYAN. The New Orlesns 1imes-Demo-
crat, which is certainly a good authority
on such matters. admits that not over z, 600

August Bolmonts and tho John IL. Drexeis
IL was the Drexels' turn. Across the

that is ordinarily known as Percy BEL

social luminary was not present to see MS
