On his arrival Mayor Taggert
received several kilograms, one

SUGAR REFUSE RECLAIMED

For years the sugar industry has
been Obliged to lose the full benefit of
great part of the saccharine matter of
the cane, which remained in the mo-
lasses. The molasses 1t has been inn
possible to crystalize, and as 1t fer
ments in a short time, 1t has been
found impracticable to ship 1t, besides,
the fermentation destroys the flavor.
What was a finely favored syrup be-
comes sour mess, and nothing but
distilling 1t into rum and alcohol en-
ables 1t to be utilized. In fact. thou
sands upon thousands of gallons have
been pumped into the sea or on old
fields for fertilizer
A new discovery condenses the sac
charine matter into what is called con-
crete, sugar much resembling maple
sugar, both in appearance and flavor.
This has none of the taste so often OBJ
jectionable in ordinary molasses, SO
that 1t can readily be used for cooking
and some forms of CONNECTIONS, but its
most delicious form is by the addition
OF little hot water. when fine syrup
Is produced, which is the best possible
addition. after good butter, to buck
wheat cakes, wheat cakes, waffles, etc.
The process by which this problem
so long unsolvable has at last been
mastered is by means of electricity.
Through the hot molasses, hot air is
blown and current of electricity at
the same time assists in some mysteri-
Gus way to aid and hasten granulation.
= me cost of the process is said to be
very slight, and small machine will
turn out large amount of concrete in
a short time.
1t is packed in neat bricks. each en-
closed in paper or Dashboard wrap
per. and 1t is not at all sticky or sug-
gestive of the molasses from which It
is made No doubt 1t will become a
popular method of obtaining syrup.

TO REVISE THE PANS
BOARD OF EDUCATION DECIDES
TO HAVE NEW PLANS FOR THE
HIGH SCHOOL.

BOARD OF EDUCATION DECIDES
TO HAVlE NEW PLANS FOR THE
HIGH SCHOOL.
AT a meeting Of the Board Of Edu-
cation last night it was decided to al
low the committee and architect tc
completely revise the plans for the
new High School building.
Chairman Turner, of the Committee
on New Buildings, read a letter from
Architect Pierce. of the new High
school. stating what changes could be
made in the specifications so as to
bring the price down. Among the
changes recommended were that brick
be substituted for some of the terra
GOTTA work; have no stone above the
basement story; change the heat con
duits; no iron sills at the basement
windows; take cut the front steps to
the basement, and use tin in some
places instead Of COPPER MT Pierce
estimated than such changes would
bring the cost down about $4,000
ME- Fraim said that a building as
called for by Mr Pierce's plans can
not be built and furnished for less
than $25O.OO0. The cost being s25OOOO,
and that at 6 per cent. would mean
interest to pay amounting to $4,000, OF
within $1,000 OF the whole amount the
board has to spend each year for new
buildings
Mr.. Ross did not think a reduction
of $4,000 was enough, as the city was
mot prepared to spend so much money.
He did not see the necessity Of such
a large school, as the city does not at
present need building that will ac-
Icommodate 12OO to 1900.
DR. a. E. Franiz made a strong plea
in favor Ct getting new plans ana
specifications.
IA. G. MJCaus.and said that, as a
member Of the New Building Commit.
tee he had gone carefully over the
proposed changes and had figured that
the building would cost S124.OOO. and
with the heat and ventilation system
$l35,00d, with furniture. etc. making
the total COST for the building com.
lp,sts Sl5C,CO0.
Upon the revision Of the plans, the
laeyen original bidders viii be asked
to renew their bids en- The new speoi-
lhcatiors. All material used In CON
Istruction must be bought in Whining
ton.

THAT 100000 REBATE.

We have no doubt that representa-
tives Of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company viii so TO Dover ana
endeavor to convince the members that
safeguards are unnecessary, but
the good horse-sense Of ne senators
and Representatives will tell them that
such representations are not true ano
not in the general interest
There is another matter in connec-
tion with this railroad company q
which we would invite the earnest At
tention Of the members of our General
Assembly. In years gone by the rep
7esentatives a the company have been
going 70 Dover and By means OF a
joint resolution, securing a reduction
Of something ike ten thousand dol
lars In its state tax For years this
has been going on, unit! the state has
lost between 100000 and 100000 by
the operation. There should be no
recurrence Of such a thing permitted
at this session. Our state has just gone
through a period Of great expense. We
nave had TO meet from the general
fund the cost cf a constitutional con-
vention and Of an extra session Of
the Genera. Assembly. We need
money badly, and no maudlin sentl.
mentality should stand bs5ween the
state and this $4,000 which is hon,
estly due it from the Baltimore ant
Ohio railroad through it's Philadelphi;
division. legally known as the Balti
more and Philadelphia Railroad Com
pany.
df that $4,000 rebate is allowed Il
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany, It means that $4,000 additiona
revenue will have to be raised in som
other direction which can ill-afiord q
stand it.
For the members to ESant it thi
time, when every dollar is needed {
meet the expenses OF government
they w-u.d be recreant TO the rus
which the peop,e has reposed in then
For years the company, by pleas g
poverty. has escaped the just an
equitable terms Of its contract. No

directors of the Slate Farmers Bank
in all Of it's four present branches, in
Guiding those in New Castle Itself
According to the statements Of
those having knowledge Of the Farm
ers' Bank, the branch at New Castle
has been steadily falling in the rear,
leaving the branches at Dover and
Georgetown to bear it up. Ii is stated
that for the six months past at the
close OF the year. the New Castle
branch has but 5000 clear of its ex-
penses, with which to pay dividends
upon $4,000 worth of stock. The
proximity Of Wilmington is assigned
as the reason for the falling of in the
business at the New Castle branch.
The calling in Of the whole stock
and the issuance of three-lOurths only
OF the present capital stock in new
certificates. arises from the fact that
New Castle branch issued just one
fourth Of the stock in the beginning
and the one-fourth cancelled is thus
her stock. The bank must however
pay SOS for each share SO cancelled.
II is stated by the authorities thai
with New Castle wound up the Farm.
