TO LOAD SUGAR.
Success Of a New Device
in Use Here.
Al the Railway wharf Keeps Hold
Workers Bus, Cas- and an
Endless Cable.

The new sugar carrier at the rail-
road wharf is now in operation. II
was begun few months ago. but ow-
ing to the great amount of work that
has been on hand In the railroad shops
Ii has been impossible to finish the
work earlier.
The scheme is one of great ingenu-
ity Ii consists of an endless cable, to
which are attached ninety cars. This
cable runs along an inclined plane ex-
tending from the warehouse to the end
of the wharf. The makai end Is ele-
waited about thirty feet.
The sugar Is placed on these cars,
starting from the warehouse. Two
bags may be loaded on one car. They
are then drawn up to the elevated end
OF the plane. From there they are
dropped into chute, which empties
into the hold of the vessel which hap
pens to be taking on a cargo. When
the arrangement is perfected two ships
may easily be loaded at the same time.
There will be one chute running to one
side of the wharf, and another run
ming to the other side. The load of
one car will slide down to one vessel,
and the next load will go to the other.
There is no delay. The movement
is continuous. BY placing one bag on
each car $50 bags may be loaded in an
hour. This Is fast enough to keep one
ship busy. When there are two vessels
at the wharf the ears will be loaded
double.
The new method does away with a
number of laborers. A few men to
place the sugar on the cars and anoth-
er to direct 1t into the chutes are all
that are necessary. The whole AFFAIR
will be covered so that the work may
go on in rain or shine. The system
was first suggested by Superintendent
Denison. who felt the need OF some i'm
provement over the old method. To-
gether with Chas. Chaplin. the railroad
draughtsman, he worked out the plans

There was small blaze ut the cor

blaze had been extinguished by the
chemical engine crew, which Is sta

To be tenacious Of his rights ano
privileges-real or fancied-while at
the same time he may be forgetful Of
the rights and privileges Of others, is
no more. peculiar to the white man
than to his brethren of any shade Of
color. An anecdote told by a South
ern delegate to the National Suffrage
Convention at. Grand Rapids is anus
ingly illustrative. An island OF the
Southern coast, inhabited by negroes,
had as principal teacher in one Of its
schools a white woman. She was there
as much in the capacity Of missionary
as of teacher, and had SO endeared her
self to the people by her s%elf-sacriic-
ing spirit, that they unanimously
elected her a member of the school
committee. The chairman, a pompous
and prosperous negro. was SO indig-
nant that a woman should be thus
honored, in defiance Of all precedent,
that he instantly resigned. "Now
you've swore her in," he said, you kin
swar me out. I isn't gwan to sit in NJ
board with no woman!"

Col. Alexander Hawkins Of the
Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers could
not find death upon the backgrounds
Of the war-swept Philippines, but met
his fate upon the sea, a helpless VIC
tim of insidious disease. There was no
glorious dash and no martial show to
emblazon the passing of this brave
soldier, and history will not give him
the credit or the justice that were as
rightfully his due as though he had
fallen leading the boldest charge of
the entire campaign. Yet he did his
duty wherever it led, and when all is
sifted and compared, what greater
praise could be given to any fighting
man?
