DYNAMITE as CLOCKS.
its Explosions Mark Time on Hudson
River Heights.
From the New York SUM-

Up on Washington Heights, where the
older residents boast of their forefathers'
Revolutionary experience and the chick
ems run across the cable tracks, clocks are
at q discount. The thoughtful housewife
usually knows the time to the minute
when the booming of dynamite disturbs
the air.
The Italians who are doing the blasting
up there have keen idea Of saving time
and therefore set OF the blasting at day
light. noon. and knocking off time In this
way there is no interruption to the work
Of the regular gangs, the blasting being
done when the men are supposed to be
resting at their own expense
A stranger who happens 10 get up on
Washington Heights about midday is
startled by the roar ara bang of the exDIo-
siOns which come in rapid succession. It
sounds for all the world like lombard
ment of modern naval rifles and he Won
ders what 1t all means. The old settler
on the Heights If he happens to be on the
street pulls out his timep.ece and SAYS:
This watch is forever running slow II
reads two minutes of y and there the
blasting has begun I must have it re-
paired"
The thoughtful housewife within ear
shot Of the heavy siege founces around
with the first bang Of the explosives and
remarks.
DO hurry. Maggie. The Italians are
blasting The children viii be in from
school in q second and here the table IS
not set
There are several factories on the
heights and they regulate their lunch hour
whistles by the blasting. Last week a
matchmaker on Amsterdam Avenue was
seen to wind up and set his clocks with
the beginning Of the midday blasting. If
is no unc0mmcn thing to see the police
as they bury out to a relief take their
time from the wholesale blasting. An old
settler said the other day:
''If the wutchmakers had TO derend upon
Washington Heights they would starve.
With the exception OF clock here and
there the tradesmen place their faith in
the blasting reports for accurate time.
Clocks are ali right in their way. Person
ally | prefer ire blasting each day to tell
me the hour and minute.

Suicide Among Children.

A twelve-year-old boy committed sui
eide in Connecticut town not long ago
by taking rat poison. The alleged cause
was a disagreement with his teacher.
Probably the neighbors are wondering
what the world is coming to when babes
and sucklIngs hasten TO tragic ends.
The chances are that the boy in ques-
tion was one Of those abnormalIy sensi-

The Gage Incident.

As the situation appears, a comfortable
and easy way would seem to have been

CFrom the Louisville Courier Journal
a deep hole OF water in Nolyun Creek,

A BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.
BaItimoreans Interested in Cole
RADIO Company,


BALTIMORE. Feb. 23.-Francis K. Ca
rey, President Of the National Sugar Man
ufacturing Company, the Incorporation Of
which was recently noted, gave out the
first statement concerning the company
yesterday as follows:
The National Sugu- Manufacturing
Company. a corporation formed and or
ganized under the laws o. Delaware and
financed by the Baltimore Security and
Trading Company, his leased the factory
and plant of the National Beet Sugar Com
Dany. at Sugar City. in Otero county.
Col The officers of the National Sugar
Manufacturing Company are: President.
Francis K Carey, of Baltimore. a member
Of the law firm of Steele. Semmes, Carey

Company; vice president, Henry ?. Scott.

y and treasurer. Edward p. Hin. Of Bal
fmore, and general manager. John H.
Windfelder- Mr.. W:adfeIuer leaves for
Sugar City today to take charge of the
property and will reside in Colorado.
The factory leased was recently com
pleted by Messrs- Bartlett. Hayward &
Co, of Baltimore. and has 4 capacity of
$50 tons of bets a day. or from ten TO
twelve million pounds OF graduated sugar
during the campaign. The factory was
completed about the middle Of November
Of last year in time to slice about 10000
tons of beets and to produce about 1885,
coo pounds of sugar.
With the factory are leased over L coo
acres of land, with water rights. and Of
this acreage about eco acres are already
under cultivation for the beet crop Of the
coming campaign. The land in question
depends almost entirely upon artificial ir
rigation and obtains its water supply
from a canal extending about ninety miles
from the Arkansas River. This supply is
further protected by what are known as
the Twin Lakes, in the Rocky Noun
tains, at an elevation of over 5000 feet.
which lakes are controller by the inter
ests from which the National Sugar Man
ufacturing Company obtains its rights,
under grants from the United Etates Gov
eminent and the State of Colorado.
THE Agricultural Department Of the
United States made careful tests of the
beets grown at Sugar City last month and
reported that they contain IN average Of
over IS per cent Of sugar, vi h an average
co-efficient of purity of oger IS per cent,
which equals the highest averages Of any
sugar beet grown in this "a Itry or csc
