A WEALTHY MANIAC.
Has Lived High and Alcohol has Rock
ed His Once Brilliant Brain.

Has Lived High and Alcohol has Rock
ed His Once Brilliant Brain.
New York,July 16.-The Herald says:
Robert Livingston Reade, a Yale
alumnus. a lawyer, once reputed mil
lionaire, has been pronounced insane
dwindled until his income is inconsid-
cradle. He owns a lot of valueless
stocks and western property mortgage
ed for nearly as much as it would
bring in the market
Mr.. Reades mental infirmity is due
to excess of drink and choral. He is
actually confined in the Bloomingdale
asylum, and a committee will be ap-
pointed by the court to take charge of
his personal estate. The petition to
have him declared insane was made
by Mrs. Reade.
Mrs Reade was Josie Mansfield, a
woman whose career was a subject of
worldwide gossip twenty-five years
ago. 1t was on her account that Ed
ward s. Stokes killed James Fisk, Jr.,
on the stairs of the Grand Central ho-
| tel
Reade met her in the summer of 1891
and they were married in October of
that year in London. They soon dis
agreed, and in November separated,
Reade coming to New York and the
woman staying in Paris. She obtain
ed a divorce in November, 1895
Reade is a man of excellent family.
His father was a wealthy resident of
Minneapolis and the son had plenty of
money. He practiced law here and
| lived in lavish style. His mother was
cousin of Mrs. Levi p. Morton and
his sister married Lord Falkland, of
Yorkshire, England.
Reade has attempted suicide and
would probably kill himself, the doctor
says. if not restrained.

UNLUCKY IMPORTERS.
Bought Tea to Beat the Tariff and
Find Themselves Left.

Bought Tea to Beat the Tariff and
Find Themselves Left.
New York, July 16.-The Times says:
The importers are confronted by the
prospect of a heavy loss on their i'm
portation of fifteen to twenty millions
pounds of tea, which began ARRIVING
in this city about the first of July. 1t
was ordered when the general impress
sion was that Congress would put a
duty on tea. 1t is of the first crop, the
finest tea of the year, and to forestall
the tariff the importers took all they
could get.
When the tariff was abandoned it
left the second crop and every other
inferior grade of tea free to come in
and consequently there is large stock
of high grade tea sold at a sacrifice.
Charles A. O'Donohue, of the well
known tea importing house of that
name, said yesterday:
when the rush for tea began Chin
csc and japanese merchants advanced
their prices and reaped a harvest. To-
day tea is full five cents lower than
it was before there was any tariff agi-
tation."
A member of the firm of Carter,
Macy & Co, said that the first crop"
upon which importers plunged so heav-
lily, is arriving here now. The promise
that duty would be placed upon tea
had benefited the Chinese and Japan
csc alone.

The fruit crop of Missouri this year
is roughly estimated to be worth $780,
100000 and many who know what they

stated that it is worth more than
the wheat crops of Missouri and Hi

marian, while examining recently a
consignment of mules intended for
government service, discovered to his
surprise that the whole batch had been
"doped" with arsenic, their teeth filed
and every indication of old age remov-

INSURANCE WAR.

Milwaukee, Wis, July l6.-The situa-
ton in fire insurance circles is getting
exciting. President James, of the
Northwestern National Insurance COM
pany, of Milwaukee, doing business al

structions to local agents and mana

authorized by the Western Union. The
agents of the Northwestern National

tions on all business; that is to reduce
the rates of all big mercantile build
ings, as well as upon such as come
under the head Of ''pte.etred" risks.
If this policy of the Northwestern
National is carried out, as ii will be If
the Western Union orders are carried

Incidents in the Soudan Lead to Lii

A Lon n cable says:

bel Suit in London.
A Lon n cable says:
The peculiarities of the English libel
law are Illustrated by the finding of
a jury in the High Court of Queen
Bench, after three days hearing OF the
suit of Mr.. A. H. Atleridge, the Chron-
ir.Fs special correspondent during the
Soudan campaign, against Mr.. E. F.
Knight, the special correspondent of
the Times, in the same campaign. The
action grew out of a letter written by
Knight to a friend wherein he called
Alteridge a dirty cur" and declared
that he left Soudan after the first bat
tie at Firket because he was in a
"blue funk"
He further expressed his opinion that
Alteridge was a dirty cur" because
he had treated Garrett, the correspon-
dent of the New York Herald in vile
manner, turning him out of his tent
into the desert when he was suffering
from enteric fever for the reason that
he was afraid of cholera. Mr.. Knight
also accused Alteridge, who had pre-
Champaign from o'clock in the morn
ing until bed time and praying to God
all day when the cholera broke out
He then proceeded to describe Alte-
ridge as brute, who never washed.
The letter concluded.
Tell your friends on the Chronicle
that if he is sent again where we cor
respondents happen to be we will first
fog him, then kick him out of camp
and probably kill him if he returns"
Knight was called to the witness
stand and admitted that some of the
language he used was stronger than
the occasion required. and that some
parts of it he could not justify, but he
maintained that the most of what he
had written was true The witness tes-
titled on both sides.
The jury brought the verdict award
ing Alteridge $1,000 damages.

BEET SUGAR INDUSTRIES
SKETCH OF THEIR RISE IN THE
UNITED STATES.
Commenced in the Early Seventies
From 200 Tons They Rise to 10000
Tons-Soon 100000 Tons.

According to Lewis S. Ware, the emf
nent Philadelphia authority on the
beet sugar industry, the agitation for
it's promotion in the United States,
was commenced early in the seventies,
at which time there did not exist a
single beet sugar factory in the coun-
try. Interest was gradually awakened
among farmers in various parts of the
country and as result factories were
built in California, Maine, Delaware,
and Massachusetts. The original Al
varado factory, under intelligent man.
agement and with advantages of soil
and climate not enjoyed in the East,
alone survived.
The fluctuations that followed are
made evident by important data fur
nished by Willett & Gray. In 1873 the
production of beet sugar was 200 tons;
in 1879, 1900 tons; 1880, 500 tons; 1881
80, less than 500 tons; 1888, $50 tons;
1884, 953 tons; 1885, GOO tons; 1SS'
and Chino in this State, Norfolk and
Grand Island in Nebraska, Eddy, y
NJ, and smaller plants which were
established about this period helped
to increase the United States annual
production of beet sugar as follows:
1888, 1910 tons; 1889, 1900 tons; 1890
$500 tons; 1891, $3.50 tons; 1892, 12,00t
tons; 1898, 2O,453 tons, 1894, 20,441
1895, 10000 tons, 1896, 100000 tons les
timatedD.
The practical example of the Alva
RADIO beet sugar factory in Alameda
County. where white sugar was early
extracted to find a ready sale in Sar
Francisco, served to establish more
general faith in the future of the in
dustry, the possibilities of which
capital was induced to consider more
earnestly.
During the infancy of the beet sugar
manufacture in this country it hat
to contend against the sorghum craze
in which millions were invested, bu
with the aid of the Agricultural De
partment at Washington the friend
of beet sugar were finally able to max,
capitalists understand that it wa
through the beet, and through i
alone, that we could produce our owl
sugar.
Tt is confidently claimed that thu
100000 tons now made will be increas
ed within five years to 100000 tom
per annum. Tn fact, the beet sugar in
dustry, the best authorities concede
is destined to revolutionize the farm
ing and manufacturing industries o
many sections of the United States.--

The use of KATHAIRON
