Thinks His Beet Sugar Scheme Will Re
 the Salvation of California.
 Claus Spreckels, the sugar king, who is in Paris on his way home from Ger many, today told me the full details of his successful mission to Germany, where he developed the project of estab- fishing immense beet sugar plants in California. He said:
 q came to Europe this time for the express purpose of setting my beet sugar scheme going.
 Before I left home I circulated a pamphlet among California farmers and landowners i'll the state. l showed them that they must start to growing beets in California if they meant to keep their heads above water They are growing wheat at loss. My scheme will be the salvation of the country, but there is much to do to insure this end. Appli- ances we have in America at present won't do at all. Germany is away ahead of us, and I have been all over that country to find out whatever there is to learn.
 ''I have secured number Of ra a..,..t, :. which are indispensehlc e., t.'se.I's .. . proauction of beet sugar success. With them I am certain of founding an im- mensely prosperous industry. Paris Cor New York Journal.

FlREMEN ON BICYCLES.
Volunteers at Ridgewood. N. Y.. VIII Car
 ry Ladders on Tandems.

Volunteers at Ridgewood, N. Y, VIII Car
 ry Ladders Tandems.
 The bicycle fire corps of Ridgewood, N. Y., has ordered fire ladder truck. The design is original with the volun- teers of that town. It is known as the double tandem pattern, the ladder form ing bridge between the two machines. The ladder fits into slots on the tandems.
 Another design which may be execut- ed would provide ladders on each side of the tandems. The money was raised by fairs and socials, and the sum will be increased when additional apparatus is ordered
 This, as planned by the volunteers, will consist of big hose carriage be- tween high bicycles and 8 handpump fixed between four tandems. Experts in the manufacturing and designing of bi- cycles believe that these designs may be worked into practical form.
 The volunteers of Ridgewood have used bicycles in running to fires for some time and have found them very satisfactory for this work.

 plate, of course denies the story, and MT. McAdoo says that he knows noth- ing about it. It is believed, however, that there is considerable foundation for it.
 MT Herbert is not a wealthy man. He represented the Montgomery district of Alabama in congress for 16 consecu- tive years, during which time the law practice he gave mp to go to Washington suffered. He has grown comparatively poor i'll the service of the country and there is little ill view for him after the 4th of next March. He is we'll advanced in years, and there is little inducement for him to return to the practice of law i'll Montgomery.
 President Cleveland is fully aware of all these circumstances, and it is con- sidered entirely probable that he will do as much for Secretary Herbert as he did two years ago for Representatives Springer and Kilgore, who, failing of reelection to congress, were appointed by him as judges of courts i'll the Indian Territory.
 The Worlds informant understands that the president has been informed of the contemplated resignation in the fall of one of the present judges
 MT. McAdoo's promotion to be secre- tary of the navy in the event of MT. Herbert's transfer to the bench will be a recognition of the able manner i'll which he has filled the position of as sistant secretary. New York World.

WHAT PINE BLUFF BUSINESS MEN THINK OF BRYAN
 AND SEWALL.
Various Opinions Expressed as to the Strength Of the Ticket
 Nominated at Chicago.

The work Of getting the Pine Bluff business men to talk on the Democratic National ticket was con- tinued tfis morning and it seems truly that every body is on the gnu uicc It is almost as hard to get an opinion on political question as it is to get paper discounted in bank.
 JAKE KATzENsTEIN was stopped on the street. "And so you want my opinion, he said; ''well you know I am 0 gold man, but want silver to win. The peo- pie want it and they're going to have it. They will keep after free silver for the next fifty years but what they get it, and after it be- comes law I think everybody will have chance to judge as to the best financial policy. As to the ticket, it's all right on that plat form. Do I intend to support it? Most assuredly, but don't think it will win.
 D. I. MILLS
 thought that an opinion express ed or formed now would be imma- ture and of little value. I see nothing at the present time, said he, "upon which to predicate theo- ry."
 MAYOR l.. E. GOLDSMITH was next approached. tWill 1 say anything for the GRAPHIC ?" he said "Certainly I will. think the. t4issllet t4isll strong-6Gsn -Baoies would proba- I ply have been stronger As to the sesult, we can't tell as yet, :"
 Y. D. WILKINS, President of the Merchants and Planters Bank, said he had decided to make no statement. He con- sidered everything as yet vague and indefinite. The best policy to pur sue would be to ''saw wood and say nothing"
 Another very positive Democrat is

with a speech that will take the town. The enthusiasm will be at fever heat and then Jones and the rest of them will take care that it doesn't die out. They will have speakers all through that country. Then the nominee will not be idle. He will make 3 canvass. predict for Bryan and Sewall the greatest majority ever attained by any candidates in this country. You can put me down as saying that there will be but two Republican States left, Vermont and Rhode Island ,
 FRED FOX,
 the wholesale hardware dealer, was a little conservative He believed that Bryan is the strongest man that could have been selected out of the material at hand. He has no opinion as to Sewall, knowing noth ing Of his record, and thinks the ticket will be defeated.
 Another laadable enthusiast was found in
 EUGENE ARNOLD.
 Support it? Of course I'll sup port it, he said. "T think it's the strongest tickeG that could have been placed before the people. You can't say too much for me in favor of it, and mark my words, it will sweep this country from Hades to breakfast. Put it in just that way. ,
 ]. H. MANN
 wrote and signed the following:
 T think Bryan is the most popu. lar man that could have been nom- mated and that l6 to l free coinage is gaining favor each day, and will sweep the country November next.
 GHAs. WE'LL,
 when asked what he had to say, re- piled that he considered Bryan as strong man as could be named out of the material at hand He will heartily support the ticket, but does not think it will win l may be wrong he said, land hope am, but at present l don't see how sue- cess is possible. '
