Their Hawaiian Sugar Company
Passes Into Syndicate's Control.
The Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar
Company has passed from the control of
the Spreckles (Rudolph and c. Al and is
now in the hands of a syndicate of San
Francisco bankers and brokers, the new
board of directors being as follows:
Edward Politz, president: e. NJ Walsh.
Albert Meyer, R. G. Brown and Charles
Surro.
The purchase price will reach s., ,09o 900,
or $50 share. When in January, 1894, the
Spreokles secured control of the stock it
was not worth a cent a share literally
but by manipulation and the improvement
of the property the stock went up. After
four and half years ownership of what
was almost worthless stock the Spreckies
cleared up s3,00O.000.
The new company will tnaugurate ex-
tensive improvements and will operate the
Hawaiian plantations on a larger scale
than usual under the old regime and ex-
pect to make handsome profit on the in
vestment.

rectly with THE Charlatan," resplendent
in all it's fresh and gorgeous glory. This
opera bears the record of being the most
sumptuously produced comic opera ever
given in New York. Incidentally it is by
John Philip Sousa and Charles Klein, who
made eel Captain. There is one thing
that can always be depended upon when
De Wolf Hopper comes to Washington each
season, and that is that he will be sur
rounded by an organization that is first
class in all respects. THE Charlatan'' is
bigger production than lei CAPTAIN" and
requires a larger organization. All the old
favortes Of the Hopper company, with but
few EXCEPTIONS will be seen, while there
has been added to the organization several
new names that have never been seen in
comic opera before, but are famous in COM
edy and drama Nella Bergen is still the
prima donna of the Hopper company. Ed
mund Stanley, the tenor, retains his place
in the organization; so also does little AL

fun-making since the comedian became a
star. Alice Judson, one of the daintiest of
comic opera condolences, and a Washing
ton girl, is new member of the company
Then comes George w. Barnum, a new re-
cruit in comic opera. Mr.. Barnum will be
remembered assthe tbiusterng Count Eritoff
of "Glorianna" and other comedies pre-
sented by Charles Frohman. That Mark
Price. one of the best OF Shakespearian
actors, is to appear in 1.-The Charlatan''
will be something in the nature of a sur
prise Mr.. Price was for many years the
leading man of the famous Boston Theater
Stock Company, and later with Margaret
Mather and other organizations. In 1.-The

1t is a curious fact that the honey
bee was never known in the United
States till imported from England.
Prof. Reginald A. Fessenden of the
Western University of Pennsylvania
has Just completed a portable X-ray
apparatus for use by the surgeons in
the field during the war. The appara-
tus is as large as an unabridged die
tionary and will weigh about twenty
five pounds. 1t Is to be operated by
a gas-motor of like weight, and the
generator will be one of the smallest
ever employed in practical work. The
apparatus will supply X-rays of suffi-
cient quantity and intensity to enable
the surgeons to see through the body,
and should prove a valuable adjunct
to the equipment of the field hospi-
tails.
A few facts regarding the Whitehead
torpedo may be of interest at the pres
ent time. This instrument carries 220
pounds of wet gun-cotton, and weighs
ready for service 1,160 pounds. Its
maximum length is 16 feet inches,
and its greatest diameter is 177 inches.
At speed of % knots per hour it has
a range Of about $50 yards. The tor
pedo is driven by compressed air at a
pressure of 1850 pounds per square
inch. which operates a three-stage en-
gine.
AS result of experiments by chem
lists and engineers OF the British Ad-
miralty, 1t has been decided to supply
all ships equipped with water tube
boilers with delicate hydrometers and
nitrate of silver solution for the de-
lection of the presence of salt in the
feed-circuits. The presence of salt in
the water-tube boilers has long been a
cause of much annoyance to naval en-
gineers, and 1t is hoped that by fire.
quently testing the density and pres
ence of salt in the water, produced by
evaporation, or formed in the main
condenser, 1t will be possible to keep

house to house during the London sea-
son. Early in the evening he sets out
from his own home in his brougham
and drives to the house of some rich
person who is giving a dinner-party.
Arrived there he goes at once to the
Kitchen and tastes every one of the
dishes that are to appear on the table,

some instances has carefully arranged
the dinner beforehand, merely looking
in at the last moment to see that his

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever F.;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur

The Mortgage Still Unpaid.

One OF our exchanges from neigh
boring county tells of a man residing
there who mortgaged his farm to buy
his wife pair of diamond ear rings.
The wife was greatly pleased with the
precious stones and willingly took in
washing to pay the interest on the
mortgage, but the first job she was
unfortunate and lost one of the
"sparks" in the soapsuds, wbereupon
she went to the arm and tried TO
hang herself but the rope broke, and
she tell on Jersey COW, valued at
$50 and broke its neck. Her hus-
band then undertook to end the cows
misery by shooting her, but the gun
burst and destroyed his eyes, and his
wife ran away with lightning rod
peddler. The mortgage is still there.

Swallow Wants to Debate.

DR.. S. C. Swallow, Prohibition
candidate for Governor has issued a
challenge 10 the Republican nominee
Col. William \. Stone for series of
debates. He isn't particular where
the debates shall occur. He is will
ing to spout in some of the large
cities, at the county fairs, or to use
the slang expression "any old place y
The preacher candidate suggests that
the merits Of the evidence submitted
shall be determined by a count vote
of the audience. In issuing his
challenge he says 81 submit for
discussion these two simple PROPOSE
tions
"First-Resolved, That under the
management of the present Republi-
can bosses. aided by few Democra-
tic managers, the state has lost large
sums of money, and the taxpayers
have been unduly burdened.
"Second-That there is strong pre-
sumptive evidence that the Capitol
was fred by emissaries of the bosses.
First, for the purpose of destroying
documents that might convict the
bosses of these thefts and, second,
to furnish an opportunity for other
large thefts in building the new
Capitol"

Who Wouldn't be Rich, Notwithstanding

The troubles of "the rich" will
never cease until they make volun-
tary restitution of their ill gotten
goods to the gentlemen who with red
hot pokers write resolutions for the
Socialist Labor party. For several
months orators of the Simpsonian
school have thundered that the
Money Power was conspiring to pre-
vent war with Spain; thundered so
loud and often that probably some of
them have come to believe them
selves. Now the State convention of
the Socialist Labor party of Ohio be-
whacks the war as wicked invention
of ''the rich," brought about by them
for their special benefit and the furth-
er confusion OF the wage workers,
Clearly the position of "the rich' is
untenable. They can't give satisfac-
tion, whatever they do or refrain from
doing. They will have to go out of
business.-Me7o York Snn.

Of Wd@lam II. Seward that Van Duren
never committed but one fatal error in
politics, and that waS when. nursing

nomination in 1874. he permitted a
wing of mis- party u nominate him as q
hopeless candidate in 184S, thereby en-
failing just what Was intended to be
eEta.le1. tie defeat OF TIE Democratic
candidate.
General Cass was never greater than
in the hour of his defeat by General
Taylor la 1S4S. He looked upon him
self merely as the representative Of his
party. and took mis- defeat with perfect
cUnGosure and without resentment. 1t
WAS the party which was defeated, and
net Cass, the man. in his opinion, and
the simple dignity with which, after
having served for time in the Cabinet
ot Buchanan, he retired from public
life to his home in Michigan, was a
beautiful indication of the mans real
greatness.
IN the Senate, however, he welded a
powerful influence, and with Henry
Clay opposed the claims of the south
eTn states to such an extent that Cass
will always be considered one of those
great Americans who built up this ma
ton and who furthered policies calcu-
lated to strengthen it In the North and
to free 1t from the cause OF slavery in
the South.
Webster, Clay and Cass are trio of
American statesmen who graced the
Senate or the Office of the Secretary OF
State and who even If none of them
ever attained to the Presidency, worth
lily maintained the traditions of this
country generation ago. He was not
Washington in National significance,
nor Lincoln in Administration, nor
a Grant in arms, but he was a true
American who stood up against Lord
Brougham and Clarendon for the rights
Of his country. He was a man of sound
judgment. Physically he had q largo
figure, with massive head, firm mouth,
and features that bespoke earnestness,
animation, Americanism and personal
and political integrity.
The career Of Cass Is the more ap-
propriate study just now because some
of the difficulties he confronted and
some Of the policies he advocated may
become of live interest as q result of
the present war.

A Growing Evil.

Talking with a we'll known dry
goods merchant recently, the con-
versation turned to what is becom-
ing one of the most vexatious prob
lens the merchants of to-day have
to deal with. 1t is the demands
made upon them for charitable pur-
poses. " This is becoming such a
bother" said the merchant, that
it causes me more worry than my
entire business. Some of the re-
quests are for money, others for the
donation of prizes. Still others ask
that the merchant decorate rooms
and halls for church fairs, and the
army that asks them to take adver-
tising space in leaflets, church re-
ports and magazines is almost count
less. He said that in some cities
merchants post large signs in con-
spicuous places which answer peril
nent questions. For example, here
are some that have fallen to this
particular mans attention. "Do we
subscribe for charitable institutions?
No" =" Where do we advertise

merchant with whom we talked
stated that there is in some cities a
