BAT Tie Of THE TRUSTS
The Price Of Sugar and Coffee
May Come Down.
DESPERATE COMPETITION ON
The Arbuckies Enter the Business
OF Refining Sugar, nnd the Ameri-
can Sugar Refinery Goes Into the
Business of RonstinG Cofce-Fi-
nanciaI People Watch the Fight.

The effect of the war taxes on the
Sugar Trust and on the gigantic strug-
gle between the trust and the Arbuckle
coffee concern is watched with acute in
terest by financial people everywhere. 1t
will attract the attention of the public be-
fore the struggle is over.
1t is the opinion of many financial peo
pie that the war taxes may go far toward
deciding the supremacy of the American
Sugar Refinery, not only over the Ar
buckles but ali the other corporation
and individual sugar refiners. 1t is pre-
dicted by friends of the trust that its
success will make it a rival of the Stand
ard Oil.
The latest reports are that the Ar
buckles win be making sugar in their
new refineries by the middle of the
month. The refinerIes are practically
completed and the company is already
contracting for coal and raw sugar.
This has been regarded as a bear argu-
ment against the sugar trust in the
New York Stock Exchange, and rightly.
probably, but sugar stock, If 1t declines
in price. will only do so for a time
The Arbuckles some time ago decided
to enter into competition with the Amer
lean Sugar Refinery In the manufacture
of sugar. The new refineries are the re-
suit. The sugar trust retahated by man
ufacturing coffee. Financial people pre-
dicted then the struggle that has begun.
The Arbuckles, believing that there
would be a tax on coffee, bought up an
immense supply before the war began.
1t is estimated by some that this supply
will be enough for a year The Arbuckles
paid comparatively high price for 1t.
The Sugar Trust bought no advance sup
ply of coffee.
Then the Sugar Trust people came to
Washington. They represented to the leg
islators at the Capitol that no money
could be raised on green coffee. as a great
supply had already been purchased. The
legislators agreed to- this5 and it was de-
cided for time TO tax roasted coffee.
This suited the trust but not the Ar
buckles Raw coffee went down 40 per
cent in price. The sugar trust is secur-
ing its supply at a little more than half
what the Arbuckles paid. Later the tax
on coffee was abandoned entirely. This
had no particular effect on either corpo-
ration. 1t cut the price to the consumer
simply.
Now, in the manufacture or coffee. de-
spite the long years of experience of the
Arbuckles, and their fine control of the
market, the Sugar Trust has tremend-
Gus advantage in the low price of the
raw material The competition is cut
ting down the price to the consumer. The
Sugar Trust is selling at cost, or little
over. The Arbuckles are losing millions
in their own territory.
Now the sugar competition is soon to
begin in earnest. When the Arbuckle
refneries are completed It is predicted
that the Sugar Trust will begin to cut
prices. The Sugar Trust has far more
complete control of the field on sugar
than the Arbuckles had on coffee. With
this control and with Its experience the
trust will be able to sell sugar at cost

To the Memory of Woodward.

At a special meeting of the Board of
Children's Guardians, called to take ac-
ton upon the death of the late president
of the board, William Redin Woodward.
and held at the rooms of the board on the
Goth day of June, 1898. the following me-
mortal was adopted as the expression of
the sentiments of the board. and was or
dered to be recorded in the minutes Of the
board and copies to be transmitted to the
family of Mr.. Woodward and to his father
and mother:
William Redin Woodward filed many
places of usefulness, but none more ad-
mirably and completely than the pres,-
dency of the Board of Children's Guar
dians, and his loss from it cannot be re-
paired.
Coming to this board without expe-
rience. he was so fitted by his personal
powers and traits, especially by his judg-
ment, tact and sympathy for it, that his
election to the Office of president followed
naturally at an early day.
THE choice was soon shown to be an
eminently fit one and until he died the
board had increasing reason to be graft
fled by it. In his courteous, sagacious and
sympathetic performance of his duties
whether presiding at meetings of the
board or its executive committee, or rep
resenting ii in court or before committees
of Congress, he had the respect and re-
gard of every member and employe of
the board and the confidence of every
one else with whom he had to deal
THE board desires to record this express
sion of its grief at the great loss that has
befallen it and to extend its deepest SYM
pathy to the bereayed family or its late
president"

One Cooks Custom.

1 was much amused once by being al
lowed, as a favor, to look through the
private recipe book OF very good female
chef, who had lived In some decidedly
gastronomic families. I found the good
lady invariably wrote out her own recipes,
asserting them to her own ideas, and add
ing interesting memoranda respecting the
tastes of the various families she served,
together with the whims of their principal
guests. This very soon betrayed the or
igin of the cleverness, OF which her mis-
tress always boasted. that cook invarfa-
bly, assorted her dishes to her guests
though she never committed the mistake
of heralding your arrival by the inevitable
temperance of dish you had once cas-
ually praised. Now, II this was worth
while for cook. 1t is far more worth
while for a house mistress. A little study
of your guests tastes and little note
added to your Ms. book viii save you
world of worry. My old friend the cook
entered her patrons on list with their
fads and likings. For instance, 1 saw
cousin of my own labeled Does not like
onions. but always eats Soubise sauceP'
whilst against another II was recorded,
Don't like anchovies. but always eats
Chateaubriand," the point Of this being
that she invariably inserted tiny mOdi-
cum of anchovy paste, rubbed up with
fresh butter, under the steak before serv-
ing it, CThese entries are textualD This,
by the way, explained to me why that
worthy man always praised her shrimp
sauce, and her beef hash, utterly uncon-
scious that their SAVIOR was due to the
anchovy sauce cunningly blended with
them, and the use of which he had STERN
ly interdicted to his own Gordon bleu.-

FIREWORKS FOR JULY 4, 1898.
Many Patriotic Novelties Are Now
on View.

Manufacturers of fireworks assert that
the demand for noise makers has never
been so great as it is this year. The war
with Spain has done it all Patriotism
must express itself in noise. and city resi-
dents who want to sleep must spend Mon
day in the woods.
If one may judge by the novel noise
makers and night dazzlers on sale in this
city the manufacturers are an up-to-date
set. Dewey. Manila, Cuba, and more
especially the flag, have a thousand and
one representatives in bombs, batteries,
rockets, balloons and set pieces.
A decidedly patriotic novelty is called
Remember the Maine" great shell is
sent up several hundred feet and unfolds
in fire the naval signal which means Re
member the Maine" There is also the
national bomb. which, on reaching its
altitude opens red, changes to white and
finishes blue. There is also another bomb
which contains five distinct changes, with
a long-Iived and vivid effect. The
screaming eagle rocket is another new
thing of this year. A giant shell Is sent
up from a mortar, and when high above
the earth a red, white and blue eagle in
cleaning points of fire leaps from his airy
prison and hangs motionless in the night
sky long enough for the patriots below
to yell themselves hoarse.
The Dewey or Philippine cracker has
sold so fast that few can now be had at
all 1t is a tube fifteen feet long, which
emits fifty explosions initiative of the fir
ing of the guns of the flagship Olympia
There is also the Dewey mine. The first
act of this device is a terrible explosion.
Immediately there is a shower of saucis-
sions better known to the small boy as
fire snakes; fierce-looking, wabbly worms,
which cavort eccentrically before they
lose their light. These are followed by
another big explosion, which unfolds red,
white and blue halos, in honor of the
phoenix-like victory of the American
ships in the Orient. There are also many
interesting national streamers. A rocket
is sent up, which is delivered of a floating
festoon of fire balls. These balls emit red,
white and blue sparks.
These are only a few of the many pa
triotic novelties for this our greatest
Fourth of July since the civil war.

Every one of Mr.. Downs many and devoted
friends knew that he felt certain justifable
pride in the adornment of his upper lip and
his little wife was proud OF her good-looking
husband as could be.

said He seems so effeminate. | wouldn't have
my husband shave off his mustache for anything!'
So, after all this, it is not strange that the ap-
pearance of Mr.. Down with stih, elean-shaven
lip was greeted with surprise.
''What did you do that for, old man?'
''Well, you are beauty now, and no mistakep =
''What'l the little woman say TO you? She'll
fall out of love or I'll lose my guess!''
Those were few of the remarks he had to
hear, but he bore them good-naturedy and gave
n reason Then the women discovered that the
little wife not at all offended, and that what
ever their opinion might be regarding his looks
she thought him handsomer than before.
''But why did he do t?'' questioned uncon-
WINGED friend, wailingly.
''Why don't you know? He shaved if off so
he could kiss the baby" she said contentedy

The immediate result will be a reduction
in the price Of sugar and coffee. and de-
cline in sugar stock. When sugar stock
is al the lowest the sugar people will buy

able that they will absorb the Hawaiian

will boom then as it never has before. and
