ARBUCKLE SUGAR REFINERY.
The Plant TO Have Capacity of
5000 Barrels Per Day.

5000 Barrels Per Day.
Brooklyn. N. Y, Jan. 15.-Ground was
broken to-day for the Arbuckle sugar re-
fnery in this city on the plot adjoining
the Arbuckle coffee plant. 1t is the In
tion of the building with all possible
speed. To this end day and night gangs
will be employed and the plant may be
in operation by next August. The build
ing will cover the block bounded by John,
Jay and Pearl streets and the river. The
refinery will have a capacity of 5000 bar
rels per day. The increase from a ca
pacity of 1900 barrels. which was origin
ally fixed by the Arbuckles, has been made
necessary by the aggressively antagonis-
tic attitude of the sugar trust.

Abdul HaniG may be u cruel man, but
he can be kinuhCartCd now and then, as
the following story proves: Last year, on
the occasion of the "Hirka-i Cheriff, -
when the sultan drives through the streets
of Constantinople, in the rush of the crowd
to see the royal carriage pass it CHANGED
that n little boy belonging to charity
school was knocked down and trodden on
by an officers horse. The sultan saw the
accident and was much concerned. BY his
orders the boy was at once removed to the
palace and placed under the care of his
own physicians. The child was badly hurt
and lay i'll for "a long time. No expense
was spared to cure him, and he was treated
as though he We're one of the little princes.
His mother, poor widow, living in u far
oil province, was sent for immediately
She came to Constantinorle and was grant
cd Il tension, which enabled her to live
near her child. AS for the boy himself
the sultan has undertaken the expenses OF
his education and placed him at one of the
best private schools in Constantinople.
The little fellows future is thus secured
He may safely count on quick promotion
in whatever branch of the Turkish service
he decides to enter, and his friends consid-
er it lucky chance that threw him under
the hoofs Of the bOdyguard' S horses. The
boy is Il Christian. New York Tribune.

A CHINESE DRUGSHOP.
Full of All Sorts of Queer odds and Ends
Used For Medicine.


In St. Nicholas Theodore Wores. the
artist, gives the following description of II
Chinese drug store in san Francisco: The
interior of this shop presented n strange
and oriental aspect. One corner was occu-
pied by the household shrine, the chief
feature Of which was highly colorcd pic.
turc of some fayoritc god. The smoke Of
burning incense, issuing from brightly
polished brazcn vessel, rose from the altar
before this dcisy and filled the air with its
mysterious fragrance. Beside the shrine
on II table, was an abundant supply of re-
freshmcnt, consisting of cakes, both rcd
and yellow; of lichi nuts, oranges, canded
ginger, n number of boxes of cigars, and
last, but not least of bottles containing
sam -shcu, the favoritc beverage of the Chi.
ncse.
All Gau's uncle, dressed in long vel.
low silk blouse, was standing near this ta-
bic, busily engaged in doing the honors to
his numerous callers. He greeted his neph-
ew and his friend with great cordiality,
and invited them to partako of refresh
mcnts, but All Gau modcstly contented
himself with 70 handful of dried watermel-
on seeds, which he dropped into his capa-
cious inside lCcket.
One side of the shop was taken up by u
long counter and shelves and drawers ex-
tended all around the room. These were
covered and filled with great and mscel-
laneous collection of strange and rare
herbs and roots Deer horns, in their vel
vet stage, were suspended from the ceiling.
These, after being sliced rs thin as waters,
are boiled and produce what is supposed to
be a valuable medicine Dried lizards,
neatly spread on thin bamboo sticks, oc-
cupicd basket ut one end of the counter.
Dried toads, sharks tails and many cher
curious objects used in the preparation Of
Chinese medicines, Uttered the shop from
end to end, and a richly carved and gilded
openwork screen. with two dragons in the
center, extended across the middle of the
ceiling.
The Chinese are very much behindhand
in their knowledge of medicine. Their
methods, which are based on ignorance
and superstition, are quite as absurd and
primitive as were those of the Europeans
of the middle ages.

The Company known through
out the world as the
CAL |FORN|A FIG SYRUP CO

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import.
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling a laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene.
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of mauufact-
uring, figs are used, as they ar,
pleasant to the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most benefcially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.

hibits. Everything is for sale.
The heart of the store is given
to Dress Goods-the most elegant
fabrics being in the Salon, south of
center.
Take any elevator to the Third
floor and toward Market street you
will find the new home for Oriental
Rugs. Magnificent pieces of weav-
ing, some quite rare. The finest
rug is $25OO.
There will be many more ele-
vatorS running before long. They
are building on all sides.
Next, trip through the China
store, second floor, center. Cut
glass, art goods and tableware are
the attractions.
Then to the Basement. The $4,000
Orchestrion plays, morning and

an open charge of any character against

Borton was in the Assembly, and his rec

that he aspires to the higher Office, the
Democrats have suddenly discovered what
a poor member he was. This is not be-

Vote for Joshua E. Borton for Senator.


UNWILLING to accept defeat or to bow
to the decision of the people, the race
track gamblers entered protest against
the returns on the recent constitution al
amendment election. They claim that
sufficient ballots were rejected by the cleo
ton boards to secure the adoption of the
amendment to which they were opposed
This action confirms what has been said
repeatedly with reference to the trickery
and pertinacity of the race-track gamblers
They are tireless in their efforts to secure
a return to the method which fills their
pockets to the impoverishment and dis
grace of their victims. They are not to
be trusted. Give them the power and they
will enact laws regardless of the constitu-
ton, and so arrange their plans that they
can conduct their nefarious vocation
while the legality of their acts is slowly
going through the courts What is the
remedy? Keep from the Legislature all
men who will aid these fellows in any
way. Howard Packer voted for the race
track bill when in the Assembly. Do not
give him chance to repeat the act either
on race-track or any other disgracefu1
measures

"ALwAYs in the interest of the people,
they say of Howard Packer. Perhaps
In 1892 bill was passed by the Senate
entitled IAN act to provide for the ap-
pointment of stewards of county poor
houses and keepers of county insane de-
partments in certain counties of this
state" This was a direct movement to
displace Theodore B. Gaskill and to give
the place to some Democrat to be selected
by the Governor. 1t is an undisputed fact
that Theodore B. Gaskill had conducted
affairs at the Aims House better than any
of his predecessors. His continuance in
Office proved that the people believed he
was the man for the place. The Demo
Gratis knew this and realized that their
only hope of removing him was in legis-
lating him out of Office. Had the plan
succeeded this county would have suffered
financially. This bill failed, by two votes,
TO pass the Assembly, but Howard Packer
did his best to get it through, and voted
for it. He knew that the measure was a
dirty piece of partisanship, and whoever
says he acted, in that instance, for the
peoples interests, says what is not true.

THE charge that Joshua E. Borton was a

bosh. The minutes of the House show
that Mr.. Borton, with but four exceptions,

every bill that came before the House ex-
cept when absent in the committee rooms
