PACIFIC HEIGHTS
Mr. Desky May Put in
Cable Cars
With Electricity as the Mottvs
Power Down Cas- to II eip

c. S. Desky is evidently determined

cobwebs on his scheme to install a
system of electric tramways leading to
the property. By the next steamer he
ton, plans and specifications concern
ing the particular merits of two en-
tirely different systems, and he will
then decide upon the one that is best
adapted to the requirements. His
preference is for a cable system run
by electric power, and this will most
probably be adopted.
The advantages of a cable SYSTEM"
he said yesterday, ARE that it permits
great saving of power in this re-
spect: the ears that are coming down
the hill can be made to help pull the
others up the hill. This is about the
most economical system l have found
1t is simply a cable system with cleo
tricity as a motive power instead of
steam.
mo. it is not likely the cars will
run ON the road l have just finished.
That's for driveway. The cable or
electric cars, whichever may be deter
mined on, will run on road of their
own. Starting from the foot of the
hill they will parallel the present road
for the first half-mile, it being my in
tentiOn to increase the width of the
road so as to permit the building of a
double car-track without interfering
with the driveway After the first half
mile the cars will leave the present
road and take a much shorter route to
the summit. Either electric or cable
cars can use a grade twice as steep as
the roadway with perfect safety.
LAS the property through which the
road is to run is all mine. / can use
any survey or grade 1 see fit, and my
idea is to reach Pacific Heights in the
shortest possible time, having due re-
gard, of course, to the safety of the
public"

SUGAR CON UMPTION.
What the British Isles Get Away
With AnuualIy

In 1869 the English consumed on
capita annually says writer in the
Forum. That this is enough for either
health or reasonable enjoyment isprov-
ed by the fact that few people use
Italy consumed 719 pounds per capita /;
Spain, 1867 pounds; Austria-Hungary,
1854 pounds; Belgium, 22.S pounds;
Germany, 27.14 pounds, and France,
2S,24 pounds. In the United States,
where the use of sweets is said to be
injuriOusly excessive, only 80 pounds
per capita were consumed in 1869 and
81 pounds per capita in 1898. In Eng
land during 1857 every human be-
ing, including babies, invalids and
paupers, disposed on the average Of
nearly 4 ounces Of sugar day, or SAT-
pounds a year. Furthermore, neither
from the economic nor the sanitary
standpoint do the uses to which this
extra sugar ration is put seem salts
factory. One of the chief of these ap-
pears to be to- encourage drinking.
Though the exports Of beer from Eng
land show tendency to decline, brew
ing grows apace. Twenty-seven gall
Ions a year per capita, counting wo-
men and children, are surely enough.
In America, though the amount of
spirits drunk is the same, 151a gallons
of beer suffice, and American beer is
light. Twenty-seven and one-quarter
gallons were the measure Tor England
in 1883, yet in 1897 it had swelled to
81 II gallons, an expansion at the rate
of about l per cent. a year. But, fast
as brewing grows, the weight of sugar
used in the beer grows faster In
1883 the public put up with something
less than 4a pounds of sugar to the
barrel; in 1897 it demanded between
s and 9 pounds.

The State fish and game commissioners
held hearing at the American house
last Wednesday evening on the petition
of Ellsworth sportsmen to close the
streams flowing into Branch pond. The
object of the petition was to put stop to
the catching OF small salmon which run
up the streams from the pond. The
small salmon bite voraciously, and un-
considerable fishermen have taken hun
dreds of salmon from six to eight inches
long from the streams. There were two
remonstrants at the hearing before the
commissioners. They asked that certain
brooks up which the salmon did not run,
but from which only trout were caught
be left open. The commissioners voted
to close Winkumpaw, Colts, and Rocky
Pond brooks, and notices to that effect
will be posted at once.

"TIIE BLUFFS"
Ellsworth Men Negotiating for Pur-
chase of Hotel at Mt. Desert Ferry.

chase of Hotel at Mt. Desert Ferry.
+. II. Greely, of Ellsworth, representing
a number Of Ellsworth and Bar Harbor
gentlemen, is negotiating for the pur-
chase of the hotel, 1.-The Bluffs at Mt.
Desert Ferry. 1t was prematurely an
nounced last week that the sale had been
closed.
Mr.. Greedy said yesterday that the
negotiations had been delayed by slight
hitch in the title. He thought, however,
that it would not prove serious obstacle,
and that the hotel would soon change
hands.
1t is the purpose of the prospective pro-
prietors to continue The Bluffs as first
class summer hotel. Extensive improve
ments will be made. The hotel COM
mands one of the finest views to be found
along he coast of Maine.
The hotel WAS erected in 1885 by stock
company, and cost about al 900. 1t has,
with the two adjacent cottages belonging g
to the property, about sixty-five guest
rooms, and there are spacious dining
halls, musie-room, office, observatory, etc
The house is well furnished and fitted.
The present management of the hote
will continue during the season. The
hotel is doing good business this year.

A Cuban Railway.

When one wishes to leave Havana by
rail to see something OF the real Cuba
say, to take a trip to Pinar del Rio or to
Cienfuegos-he must get up very early.
The through trains leave at six O'Clock in
the morning. l asked the chief engineer
Of the railroad to Pima del Rio why so
early start was made for town only 109
miles away, and he said it was so as to get
back the same day.
The American traveller is not only
likely to grumble when he is compelled to
hurry to the station in the thick gloom
OF early morning, but when he reaches
the station and finds that he must pay
about five cents a mile in gold, and seven
to eight cents mile in Spanish silver to
ride in back breaking cars known as first
class carriages, and that for an ordinary
trunk he must pay about half fare, he is
inclined to scoff at the primitive mode of
travel, and to long for the luxury OF even
stage coach journeying on western
mountain road. The amazing amount OF
computation by the ticket agent before
he sells ticket, the smoky lamps, the
three preliminary tootings by the engine
before the train starts, the final ringing
of bell by the baggage master as a sig
nal that the train really Is going, the
crowded condition of the aisles, choked
with luggage for which the passengers do
not care to pay toll, and every man in the
train from the conductor down to the
barefooted brakemen. smoking tobacco OF
VARYING degrees OF excellence-all this Is
likely to weary the American traveller
used to the luxury of Pullman cars. A
few hard jolts soon after the train leaves
the station brings up to The Imagination
the prospect of miserable trip, and one
j. inclined at the very outset TO ran at ne
crudities of travel by cars in the island of
