FIGHTING THE OTHER
REFINERIES.
Prices of Refined Sugar are Down to
the Coast of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Cut Means Loss

The sugar war inaugurated in Sep
TENDER is causing much concern
among the stockholders of the Ameri-
can Sugar Trust Company, who see in
it the possible loss of the ! per cent
monthly dividends which they have
been receiving every quarter for many
years. At last mail dates the cut in
rates had reduced the margin of pro
fit to the most slender proportions. 1t
was predicted that another reduction
of one-eighth of a cent would mean a
heavy loss. When the war passes to
that condition, the surplus will be inn
mediately drawn upon to cover eX-
penses and dividends on the common
stock must cease. The last quarterly
dividend by the trust was paid on Oc-
tober LIST. 1t is already question as
to whether the next quarterly divi-
dend, due January End, and upon
which action will have to be taken in
December. will be declared or passed.
The sugar trade of the United States
is so enormous that n loss of the frac-
tional part of one cent on each pound
cannot be long endured without seri-
Gus embarrassment. Under existing
circumstances the trust must newt
ably get the worst of the fight. be-
cause its production is about four
times larger than the combined pro-
duction of the Independent refineries,
each of which is understood to be
proportionately as well fortified to
withstand the ravages of the conflict
as the Trust. The Boston News Blu
reau of October 10th illustrates the
situation in the words and figures fol-
lowing: The Amel lean Company is
producing about 100000 barrels of
sugar annually. There are approNi-
mately seven barrels to ton. \ loss
of one-fourth of cent per pound is
75c on a 800 lb. barrel. and on S,00O,-
600 barrels the loss is $6,OO0,0OO. While
The Sugar Company would lose $3.50
n a thousand barrels, its competitors
would lose $1S7 on $50 barrels, provid-
ed they continued running. In other
words the Sugar Company's loss is
four to five times greater than that of
its competitors, because of the diff
ference in the volume of the business
DONE"
There is little doubt as to how the
war will terminate. but when is I'M
certain. The Independent refiners are
individually strong financially. The
new Doescher refinery was expected to
commence running on the Goth. This
is now hardly possible With certain
loss from the start, it would be little
less than foolhardy to commence.
The consumption of sugar always falls
of from this date on for several
months. Besides the southern cane
and beet sugars are now coming on
the market. 1T is believed that propo-
sition for settlement of the difficult
ties have already been made. If these
are not accepted they will undoubted-
ly lead up to some compromise that
will be agreeable to all. 1t will be the
policy OF the contending parties to
keep the Tublic in the dark as to these
propositions as long as possible. 1t
will be remembered that such was the
case in the two Philadelphia refiner-
les secured by the trust years ago. In
the meantime, sugar will rule low and
consumers will reap the advantage.

MOTHER OF F,1zHuoH Leg.
Once n Washington Belle and still the
Idol of Her Family.

Idol of Her Family.
Blind N almost helpless as a baby,
the mother of General Fitzhugh Lee
lives with her son Daniel, near Freder-
i~cksburg. Va. Though nearly 30 years
old, she Is still bright and cheerful. Sur
ounde by descendants who fairly idol
iZe her. she Is rapidly nearing the dark
river. fearless and with childlike conf
dence. Her grandfather. George Mason,
was "A prominent statesman i'm the early
days of the republic and took part i'm
framing the American constitution. His
third son John. inherited considerable
property in Virginia, including Analos-
tan island. to which place he Drought a
lovely Maryland bride. whose family
name was Munay. The youngest child
of this couple was. Anna Maria, who
was brought up on the outskirts of
Washington. In her youth she was
known as beautiful Mamie Mason of
the island" AT Arlington she first met
Lieutenant Sydney Smith Lee. L.. s.. N,
a brother of Robert T.. This meeting
resulted in courtship and marriage,
General Joseph f. Johnston being one
of the groomsmen. Portraits taken in
those early days show the bride to have
had a lovely, piquant face. with rosy
cheeks, brown eyes and clustering
brown curls.
The young couple resided for some
time in Washington, where Mrs. Lees
beauty, wit and vivacity made her the
admiration and center of a choice So
cial circle. AT their country home, Cler-
mont. near Alexandria, on the 10Th of
November, 1895, their eldest son was
born, and named Fitzhugh. after a be-
loved friend, Mrs. Fitzhugh, of Raven
worth. Five other sons were born to
them and all grew to manhood and were
gallant sailors and soldiers during the
civil war. When that struggle COM
menced Captain Lee resigned from the
navy, and, like his famous brother. Of
fered his sword to his native state. Mrs.
Lee went with him to Richmond. leav-
ing all her property in the hands of the
enemy. Never throughout these four
years of horror and did Mrs.
Lees courage give away, though her
husband. sons and many relatives were
at the front. At the close of hostilities
she returned with her family to a
country place in Stafford county, Vir-
ginia. where her husband died soon
after. Mrs. Lee spent many Years i'm
the quiet dignity of widowhood at old
Richmond. or the Potomac. When her
son FftZhugh became governor of Vir-
ginia. she made her home with him i'm
Richmond. and once more became a
charm i'm society. She was ever keenly
interested i'm the political issues of the
day, but unfortunately a severe cold
settled on her eyes. After intense suf-
fering. borne with her usual fortitude,
she submitted to a painful operation,
which, however, failed to give relief,
and she became totally blind.
