SUGAR AND COFFEE.


The Sugar Trust and She frhucSles Ready
for right
Toledo Ohio. December 18-The
American Sugar Refining Company,
better known as the Sugar Trust, has
closed a deal for HOO shares of stock
of the Woolson Spice Co., Of this city,
being eleven-ejghteenths of its total
stock. The price to be paid is S2262'-
900.
The story of this gigantic transac-
tm fs an interesting one. some ilne
ago the Arhucllles the coffee kings
branehed ont into the sugar business.
A lar.e refinery was built i'm New York
and thereby the Arbuckles became Jhe
competitors of the American refining
Co. The latter was not q, an pleased
ST what it considered an intrusion. At
first the refining company ohered 10
buy out The lrbuckle plant, so lAe
story goes. but the latter refused. Then
the refining company concluded to 1ahk
the movement of the ArbucSles and
hence this deal. Representatives OF the
refining company opened negotiations
with the WCOlson people. who are
very close second to the Arbuckles in
the coffee business. and Mr.. Lawrence
Newman. one of the largest sharehOld-
ers OF the WOolson Spice Co. went to
New York to confer with the refining
company. He is there now and has
practically closed the deal.

Pittsburg, Pa, December 1S.-At
meeting Of the War Veterans Associa-

read from Col. William \. Stone, Con-
gressman from the Twenty-second

clares himself i'm favor OF the repeal Of

A set of resolutions in line with the let

Col Stone in his letter answering
the question: Upon what condition

ga vacancy must exist and YOU can
not discharge or remove man except

their Democratic predecessors by re-
moving men for cause, viz: For being

ed for being Republicans, without as
signing the cause there viii be no va

has been interpreted under the Demo-
crclic administration. the law is not
enforced i'm its true spirit. but becomes
a snare and a trick by which men are

now administered. are merely a bundle
Of hypocrisy 1t is in my opinion much
better TO face the music and repeal tine
law that does not answer the purpose,
than TO invent ways by which to cheat

might be reached by hypocrisy, and de-
