ARBUCKlEs ON SUGAR TRUST.
(Iachmond Dispatch

The New: York Tribune says the hardi-
hood Of the Arbuckle Brothers, in pre-
pairing to compete with the American
Sugar Refining Company in the refining
of sugar, and thuns inviting against
themselves not only price war in sugar,
but also one in their principal product,
coffee, has been a subject for not a little
discussion and wonder. But, according
to the Tribune, the real explanation of
the apparent daring exhibited by the Ar
buckles In their new venture came out
yesterday, when attention was called TO
the fact that hey are going to use IN
the prersartion of sugar for sale to the
retail trade the same weighing and pack
ing machines which they have for a num-
Der of years used with marked success
in handling coffee.
The Arbuckles say they control the
only machine which can automatically
weigh sugar, coffee, and other things,
and pus chem in packages ready for ship
ment. The grocer is glad to purchase
package goods, because it saves him the
expense Of paper, Irvine, and the labor
and time taken to do up q package. Be
sides, when the grocer weighs in small
quantities, he always has some loss Of
goods. Where he handles package goods
there is no such loss, as the weight is
exact.
The machine is a complicated onk. For
many years il was used la weighing ana
packing coffee alone, but two years ago
the idea occurred OF using it also for
sugar. Such changes We're then made in
the machine as were necessary.

FOR THE JAPANESE NAVY.
Minister Hoshi Signs Contracts for Two
Cruisers to be Built in America.

Minister Hoshi Signs Contracts for Two
Cruisers to be Built in America.
Washington, Dec 31-Nfinister Hosd,
of japan to-day signed contracts for two
new cruisers for the Japanese navy to
be built in American ship yards, one by
the Cramp ShipbuiIding Company Of
philadelphia, and the other by the Union
Iron Works of San Francisco. 1t was
the conclusion Of negotiations covering
many months and was gratifying alike to
the minister and the companies who were
represented by their respective heads,
Charles II. Cramp and Irving L. Scott.
The award of American builders was
based not only on the merits of Amer
lean ships, American ornOr and Amer
lean materr5.aaai.s, but was a distinct rec
ognition on the part Of the Japanese of
the kindly offices of the United States
during the recent Japanese-C Chinese war
and of the cordial feeling between this
country and the growing young empire
of the east.
The contracts were signed ait the ia
panese legation where there were pre-
sent for the occasion the minister and
his official staff, delegation of Japanese
Naval experts, consisting of Commander
* Martha, Constructor S. Sakura and
Constructor s. Takaura and Messrs.
Cramp and Scott. The Naval experts
have been in this country some months
visiting American yards and critically
inspecting the war ships which have been
built for the American Navy. At the
same time other experts were inspect
ing the yards of England, France and
Germany, and competition arose as TO
which country would be first to secure
a contract That made to-day proves
TO be the first and in this respect is per-
sonal triumph of the japanese minister
at Washington.
The contract Calls for the completion
and delivery of the ships by December
/, 1898. They are to be of 4, 760 tons
each and of the following dimensions:
Length 374 feet 6 inches; extreme
breadth 4S feet inches ;depth 30 feet 6
inches; draft, mean IL feet 8 inches
They are to be of the type generally
known as protected cruisers Of the sec
ond class and Will be somewhat similar
to the United States cruiser Columbia.
The hull viii be of steel, burt without
armor. The deck will be protected with
six inches of steel
The armament Of each via be as fol
lows: Two eight inch guns, one at fore
castle and one ait poop; twelve 12-centi-
meter guns, 6 on each side, as broadside;
twelve II Founders, also arranged for
broadside, 6 on each side, 6, two and
half Founders; five torpedo tubes. The
cost Of the vessels win be about $1,000
600

The Shakers Do Their Duty.

IF man discovers a valuable medi-
cine said Horace Greeley, it is his duty
to advertise it." Yes, and ait once; for
suffering demands the speediest relief pos
sible. But let theman first be sure. Suf-
fering had better wait than be deluded
by false hopes. Medicine, like surgery,
must often seem cruel in order to be real
~ kind. On this principle the Shakers,
Of Mt. Lebanon, n. Y, withheld their
great indigestion and dyspepsia remedy
from the public for several years. With
them right-doing is everything
comparatively nothing. Hence the pop
ularity and success Of whatever they offer
for sale. Having satisfied themselves of
the merit of their medicine by employing
1T in the worst cases of digestive disor-
ders in their own vicinity for years, they
did thed duty-they advertised it, under
the name of the Shaker Digestive Cor
dial. In all cases where there is distress
after eating, pain in the stomach chest
and back aversion to food with the re-
sulting symptoms, such as headache,
furred tongue, eructatiOn OF gas, with
weakness and loss of flesh etc, the Cor
dad mas a most happy effect. Being it.
self a digested food with power to digest
other foods, it relieves the weak and
possibly inhamed stomach Of the labor 1t
is in no condition to perform, gives new
strength to the body and presently res
torres to the digestive organs their normal
vigor. Taken Immediately after eating
this remedy insures the digestion of the
meal and prevents the fermentation of
the food, which is the source of most Of
the afflicted symptoms which accompany
dyspepsia 1t is also as agreeable to the
taste as it is potent as medicine.
To show their own confidence in it, and
to hasten its universal adoption, the
Shakers authorize druggists to sell trial
bottles at the nominal price OF ten cents.

This is the smallest sum given by any
