Sugar Trust Profits CinChed,

The trusts have a cinch On Dingley
bill profits. OF course they will mako
many times more if the bill becomes
law i'll anything like its present shape,
but they are already engaged i'll taking
part Of their profits.
Sugar has risen considerably in antic-
ipation of greatly increased duties,
and merchants all over the country are
laying in stores because still higher
prices are expected. The Sugar trust is
consequently busy and rolling up profits.
In April it imported 151, 799, 527 pounds
Of raw sugar, valued at $14, III, 1879. An
extra profit of one-half cent per pound
on this amOunt-which is already real
lied or guaranteed-means nearly ST.
600, 900 to the trust.
If the bill is two months longer in its
passage, the trust will surely pocket
$40, coo, 900 extra profits before the bill
becomes law. Who says protection is
not good thing? And why shouldn' t
Senator Aldrich push it along and in
turn get his street railway syndicates
pushed along by the Sugar trust? Ism t
this reciprocity? Wouldn't Aldrich be
an migrate if he should desert his friends
and hackers when he has an opportuni-
ty to help them?

MR. DATz HAD A FIT.
The City Hall Flag Flies With the
Union Down.

People on their way to work this morn
ing were astonished to see the American
flag which floats over the new City Hall,
flying upside down. A half dozen people
stopped to look at the flag. The crowd in
creased steadily until nine o'clock when
there were about one hundred people
standing in Grove street looking up at the
building. Custodian Datz, all unaware of
what was wrong was hustiing around the
building in great shape endeavoring to as
certain the cause of the commotion. Some
one suggested that one of the bird cage
towers had blown off, but the custodian
was positive that the cages were all right
for the reason that week or so ago
he had them chained down.
1t was nearly 10 O'Clock before the Gus
tedian, who takes great pride in the new
building, discovered what was wrong. Mr..
Datz is a linguist and he gave vent to his
feelings in every language at his command.
The employees were lodging right and left
avoiding the excited Custodian, who was
threatening to discharge every man in
the building. Mayor Wanser happened
along in the midst of the excitement and
advised the Custodian to keep cool, as ac-'
cidents happened in the best regulated
families. The flag was put in its proper
position and Custodian Datz breathed free
iy once again.

MONASTERY OF oHARTREUsE.
Few Women are Priviieged to CO
Within the Gates.

The Pope has graciously sent the
Queen Regent of the Netherlands and
Queen Wilhelmfna the necessary permis-
sion to enable them to visit and see over
the monastery of the Grande Chartreuse,
to which women, as a rule, are fnexora-
bly, refused admittance, only few hav-
ing had the privilege of seeing the Car
thusians (monks of the order) at home,
says the Chicago Tribune" A story is
told of French daughter of Eve,
blessed with even a greater share Of Gu
riosity than that possessed by the gener-
ality of her sex, who, having heard from
her husband and brother Of their late
visit to the monastery, tried by every
means in her power to effect an entrance
there, but all to no avail. Determined,
she at last hit upon the happy idea of
presenting herself there dressed as a
man, managing to persuade her husband
to allow her to do SO and to take her
with him on his next visit.
On arriving at the gates Of the mon
astery she entered unchallenged with the
remainder of the party, but while In the
garden the conducting monk leaving her
side, gathered an exquisite rose, which
he brought and presented to her with a
courtly bow, proving that he at least
was not deceived by her disguise. She,
too, foolishly betrayed herself by her
ready grace and charm Of manner in ac-
cepting the rose, which she did most
willingly. Needless to say that after this
incident she never penetrated into the in
terror Of the building, nor saw what she
was dying to see, but returned unsatis-
fed, sadder and wiser woman, with a
high appreciation, however, of the keen
discernment Of the cloistered ones.

THEIR FIFTIETH DRILL.
Nine Men Of Company l. Carried Oat
Their Determination.

Company L. Fourth Regiment, last
night celebrated praiseworthy accom-
plishment on the part of several of its
members.
The company was sworn into the SER
vice of the State on July 49, 1895. On
October !, 1895, when the fall drill season
opened, resolution was adopted TO the
effect that each man attending fifty con-
secutfve drills, dating from the opening
of the season, would be awarded medal
The members went to work with will,
all with the determination that one of
those medals should adorn his breast.
But the aid adage, There's many slip
'twixt the cup and the lip" asserted it.
self, and one by one, through various
causes, the men missed the drills.
Last night the iftieth drill was held,
and of the eighty men who, on October
l, 1895. answered "here" to their names
there We're but nine who, last night, re-
sponded for the fiftieth time without ces-
satioa. A great many of the officers of
the regiment who were aware of what
was transpiring in the ranks of Company
L. stood close by, and as each of the
nine answered their names murmurs of
approval could be heard coming from
the officers.
Major Robert G. Smith, commanding
the First Battalion, congratulated the
nine men on their strict attention to
duty and warmly commended the award
of the medals.
At the regular monthly business meet
ing of the company, held after the drill
it was decided that the medals should

Groeer's Doggie Flies at His
Tormentor More New
journalism.

If residents of the lower section of the
city chance to read a New York news
paper this evening, they will probably be
surprised to learn that there was mad
dog, frothing at the mouth, biting men,
women and children and running through
the streets this morning. They may also
read that girl was bitten and had been
removed to the Pasteur Institute for
treatment, and so on.
This highly colored story found origin
in something that happened on Thursday
last. Brede & Lutjen have a grocery
store at Washington and Sussex streets.
In that store they have large brown
dog that usually bites nothing but meat
On Thursday the animal changed its
feed not because meat was not good
enough, but because it was goaded into
doing it.
The dog was snoozing near a stove
in the back of the store when James
Nash, of No. 81 Greene street,
fresh young urchin. began
to prod him with stick. The animal
endeavored to move away from it's tor
mentor. This caused the fresh young
man to add force to the prods. Suddenly
the dog sprang upon him, his teeth touch
ing the boys cheek and inflicted slight
scratch.
Yesterday the boys parents insisted that
the dog be shot. Brede & Lutzen re-
fused to comply with the request. A war
rant was issued for the animals arrest,
but as yet the owners have not surrend-
cred him.

CANTON, Ohio, Feb. 6, 1897-Word from
Judge Golf has just reached Canton,
which warrants the announcement upon
high authority, that he cannot be a mem
Der of Major McKinley's Cabinet Judge
Golf visited Canton at the request of
Major Mckinley about two weeks ago,
who told him he would like to have him
accept position in his Cabinet.
Judge Goff is an old valued friend of
Major McKinley's and he very much de-
sired to be associated with him in an
official capacity. but his personal and do
nestle affairs were in such condition just
at the time that he could not give a def
mite answer and asked time for reflection.
He now finds that his wifes health will
not warrant the acceptance of a portfo-
lilo and the life in Washington with
which his acceptance of such an honor
involves.
This opens up the whole question of
Southern representation in the Cabinet.
James A. Gary and Lewis McComas of
Maryland. St. John Boyle, of Kentucky,
Major Warner of Missouri, H. Clay
Evans of Tennessee and p. H. Hanson of
Georgia, and Judge Emory Spear, will all
pc considered within the next few days
-
The chances are that he will make up
his mind pretty quick. The decision,
which Judge Goff has just communicate
ed, was not wholly unexpected, and Ma
jor Mckinley is thoroughly well acquaint-
ed with the merits, claims, and aspira-
tfons Of the various Southern Cabinet
possibilities.
Major Mckinley left home in a drench-
ing rain at 1890 this morning. and took
the Westbound train for Wooster, a point
about thirty miles from here, where he
will meet the Chicago train to which is
attached Drivte car in which Mrs. Nc
Kinley, accompanied by her sister Mrs.
Barber, and Captain H. G. Heistand, are
returning to Canton. Major Mckinley s
appearance at Wooster was planned as a
surprise for his wife and she knew moth
ing of it till he entered her car.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mckinley reached Canton
at half-past one and she enjoyed excel
much benefited by her trip. Neither Ma
jor or Mrs Mckinley expect to leave
Canton until they set out for Washington
on the evening of March l.
Mr.. Pruden, the Executive Clerk, who
mas been for many years at the White
House, called on Major Mckinley this
morning and had a talk with him and
with Private Secretary J. Addison Porter.
The rumor that Senator Sherman
thinks of declining to go into Major Nc
Kinley's Cabinet and that he will re-
lent authority, to be without foundation.
Major Mckinley and Mr.. Sherman are
on the best of terms and are exchanging
letters frequently upon matters of bust
ness and policy connected with the next
administration.

GETTING INTO GOOD SHAPE.
Democratic County Committee EN-
cOurced by Reports RacaiYed

The regular monthly meeting of the
Democratic County Committee was held
in Fischer's Hall last night. The object
of the. meeting was to bring in dues. In
that respect the meeting was great sue
cess, it being announced by the treas
urer that in the entire committee there
are only a half-dczen delinquents.
When the new committee organized a
rule was adopted that every member who
failed to pay his dues by the February
meeting should be dropped from the roll
until he made settlement. Last year a
great many members failed to pay their
dues and it was noticed that toward the
close of the term those members made
more trouble and had more to say than
the members in good standing. Reports
were received from various parts of the
county showing that the party clubs and
associations are in good shape.
