SUGAR FOR PIGS.
Germany Is Alarmed by Prospective
American Composition.

Berlin, Jan. 31.-During the discussion of
the sugar question in the lower house of
the Prussian diet today Baron Esrffa, re-
ferring to the opinion of the secretary of
the imperial treasury, Baron Won Thiel-
mann. that there is no danger to the Ger
man sugar industry from America in the
near future, said the manufacturers of
Saxony took quite a different view from
those who pooh-poohed the danger and
underra ted the colossal financial resources
and enterprise of the American sugar
trust which in California particularly
was making great headway in sugar pro-
manufacturers, in the opinion of the
speaker, was to tighten the excise duty
on sugar and thus promote home con-
sumption.
Baron Won Hamnerstein-Loxlen the
minister of agriculture. in reply said he
fully agreed with the statement that the
most serious danger existed from America
Moreover, he remarked, the exports of
sugar from Cuba would greatly increase
during the next few years, now that en-
ergetic and intelligent American capital
lists had taken the matter in hand. The
danger arising from the production of beet
sugar in America, he further said, was
continually increasing and it was true that
the export of German sugar to America
was 2. 4eO go double centener double hun
Britain. Nevertheless. it constituted a
considerable proportion of the production
and the only remedy was an increase of
the home consumption It had already
been found that the use of sugar in the
army increased the marching capabilities
of the soldiers. 1t was also excellent in
fattSQiQS pigs.

IT'S CAPITAL IMPAIRED.
Manhattan Fire Insurance Company
Is in q Bad Way.

New York, Jan. 31.-The Times says:
The annual statement of the Manhat-
tan Fire Insurance company of New
York, for the year ending December 81,
1898, has been sent to the state insur-
ance department atAlbany, and accord
ing to its Showing, the capital stock of
the company is seriously impaired.
President P. B. Armstrong admitted the
fact of the impairment but declined to
give any figures in regard to its extent
Chief Examiner 1. Vanderpool, OF the
state insurance department, is now en-
gagged in making an examination of the
affairs and condition of the company.
1t is stated that in his report the re-
insurance reserve of the company will
be reckoned on a pro rata basis, so that
the official figures of the department
are likely to exhibit a greater impair
ment than is revealed by the statement
of the company The capital of the
company is $3.50, 600. Under the sta
tutes, if the impairment exceeds % per
cent of the total capital stock. or $62, 500,
the company will be notified by the
superintendent of insurance that it
must suspend business and a period of
thirty days will be granted within which
the solvency OF the company may be re-
established.
President Armstrong announced yes
terday that the impairment will be
made good, but declined to say whether
this would be accomplished by means of
an assessment, or by a reduction of the
capital to 5000, 900.

A CHURCH CLASH
Over the Graves Of the Victims of the
Maine

Havana, Jan. 31--Bishop Santander
has declared that the Protestant SER
vice can not be held over the graves Of
the Maine victims in Columbus ceme-
terry. Committees of Americans were
preparing to decorate the graves on the
anniversary of the explosion and de-
sired prayers by Protestant clergymen.
The bishop says that the cemetery is
consecrated ground and Protestant ser
vices could no more be permitted there
than in a Catholic church.
The bishop is also preparing a pro-
test to Gen. Brooke against the action
of the municipal councils in Trinidad,
Colon, MatanZaS and other towns in de-
claring cemeteries free. He says that
cemeteries are church property and that
to take possession of them is both desc
Grafton and conhscation. The Havana
council is likely to take similar action.
Fees required for burials and similar
abuses were one of the strongest griev-
anceS of the CubanS against Spanish
rule. The agitation is general to have
all cemeteries declared free.

Seven Thousand Miles After a Worm

Prof. William NJ Woodwork of Har-
ward came up from Samoa on the Ala
media He accompanied the Agassiz
scientific expedition to the South Sea
Islands year or so ago, and this sec
ond visit was made in the interests OF
the Museum of Comparative Anatomy
of Harvard, to investigate the 'palolo,"
a curious marine worm which has long
been a scientific mystery.
1.-The palolo, which is found near the
Fiji and Samoan islands, said Mr..
Woodwork yesterday, measures
twelve to fourteen inches in length and
is about the thickness of wooden yarn.
On two days in the year the sea is
thick with it, like vermiceIH soup The
natives bake it in breadfruit, and es
TEEN it a great delicacy. 1t looks ike
spinach and tastes f1shy.
'OnIy twice in the year does the
palolo come to the surface, in October
and November, and then only at sun
rise on the tenth day after the fun
moon. The natives gather from great
distances and make a festival of the
occasion The weather, which is in
variably bad at that time, is known
as 'palolo weather. and October anu
November are known respectively as
the month of the little paloIo' and the
month of the big palolo.' because Of the
grea ter quantity Of paloIo that appear
in the latter month-"-San Francisco

CRAWFORD DISCOURAGED.
Too Many Trains to Kansas City to
Make Leavenworth a Show Town.

(From the Leavenworth Standard)
Lester NJ. Crawford, the theatrical man
ager. was in town Saturday looking after
his interest in the opera house here.
Speaking of the house he said: 1T is in the
hands of the court now. Sometimes such
things are better that way. Mr.. Dono-
van is acting for the court. The house
has not paid for two years.
Why hasn't it paid?'' asked a reporter.
TT is too close to Kansas City. It is
just like your calico. You go there for
your dress goods and the people want to
go there for their shows
The new trolley scheme was mentioned.
so many trains now that you have too
easy access to Kansas City. and now are
to have another inducement- 1t will not
be long until each person going to Kansas
City to purchase goods will also get a
show ticket as an inducement. This con-
dftion does not exist at Topeka for we are
too far away
Asked if he believed John Seaton would
build theater here, he said: John Sea-
ton will never build a theater in Leaven-
worth Men who have money are not fools
and Seaton has money. He is too much of
business man to build a theater here,
for it would not pay 1t makes differ
ence how good house there would be
here, it would not pay, because the town
is too close to Kansas City.'

CHAINED TOGETHER.
Chief Strauss and Filing HandcuHed
and in the Same Bed.

The police force is greatly elated over
the capture of Filing. the man who es-
capped from the county Jail after nearly
killing his jailer, Carl Lawson.
The police were credited with the first
capture of Filing for burglarizing the
house of S. S. OFT. When Filing es-
capped Sheriff Cook was away hunting,
Lawson was confined to his bed suffer-
ing with the wounds received while
struggling with Filing and Deputy
Sheriff Williams was sick with grip.
The sherif's force was about helpless
and Chief Strauss and Sergeant Owens
started in systematically to capture the
criminal At the request of Williams,
kilograms were sent to different points.
On Saturday evening Chief Strauss
received a message from G.. w Harris,
conductor of a west bound Rock Island
train, that a man answering the de-
scriptiOn of Filing was on his train
bound for Herington. Chief Strauss
telegraphed w. H. Thomas. city mar
and took the first train Sunday morning
for Herington. At Mcfarland he met
Sheriff Cook and Tom Doran coming
back from their hunting trip. He told
Cook of the man answering the deScrip-
ton. 1t was decided that Cook should
return to Topeka and Strauss would go
on to see if it was the man wanted.
When he found it was he telegraphed to
Sergeant Owens who told Cook and the
sheriff took the next train for Herring
ton.
That night Strauss and Filing slept
in the same bed at the hotel, hand
cuffed together, to prevent the prison
er's escape. When Sheriff Cook arrived
there he found the two chained to-
gether.
Strauss did not turn the prisoner over
to the county until he had first booked
him at the police station for assault
with intent to kill. Then he turned him

FAMILY WITHOUT TEETH.
Dentists Puzzled by the Afhiction of
Five Indiana People

Noblesville, Ind, Jan. 31.-The singu-
lar case of James Leonard and family,
who reside near this city, has attracted
the attention of prominent dentists, who
vainly seek an explanation
Leonard is about so years of age and
has never had a tooth. His wife, on
the reverse, has a fine set OF teeth.
They have reared family Of four chill
dren, all of whom have inherited their
fathers strange misfortune. Their
gums have undergone sort of ossiff-
cation or hardening, which makes them
solid as teeth. The gums come down
farther than in the ordinary persons
mouth.
Mr.. Leonard is able to crack nuts be-
tween his jaws without any apparent
effort pain. The children can do the
same thing. So amply has nature pro-
vided for the shortage in teeth that the
gums are hardened enough to almost
turn the point of a pin. The members of
the family are never bothered with
aches and pains, as are those who have
teeth. Dentists say the case is without
parallel and especially interesting be-
cause of the children inheriting their
fathers affiiction.

1T is a good thing that the fire did
not start at night said Chief Will
