Bribery in Pennsylvania.

New York, July IA special to
the Tribune from Harrisburg. Pa.
says:
1t is alleged here that over ST.
OOO,O was corruptly distributed
among a number of the members
of the Pennsylvania Legislature
during the session which closed
last Thursday. 1t was used, it
is said, to influence votes in the
selection of the speaker of the
house and to secure the passage of
the second-class city "ripper' bill,
the Philadelphia fifth court bill,
the Philadelphia board of revision
of taxes "ripper,' and the railway
franchise bill. This amount does
not include the comparatively small
sums said to have been promised
forvotes against oleomargarine bill,
which have not yet been paid the
cash paid for votes of Legislators
against the game bill, or the money
paid for the passage or defeat of
number of other bills in amount of
less than $500 vote.
At least half a million dollars,
it is also said, was distributed
among members of the senate and
house during the contest over the
so-called Pittsburg "ripper." OF
this amount, not less than $780,
600 is alleged to have been paid to
members of the senate, and half
of this sum is said to have gone
into the pockets of half a dozen
men.
The highest price promised for a
single vote for speaker, it is said
was 500. 900.

The Same Old Story.

J. A. Kelly relates an experience similar
to that which has happened in almost every
neighborhood in the United States and has
been told and re-told by thousands Of
others. He says: 'Last summer l had
an attack Of dysentery and purchased
bottle of Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, which used according
to directions and with entirely satisfactory
results. The trouble was controlled much
quicker than former attacks when | used
other remedies" Mr.. Kelly is well
known citizen Of Henderson, N. G.. For

Dear Editor-ln answer to many
inquiries concerning our Century
Sugar Co., and the Century Sugar
Machine, can only give rosy and
optimistic prediction as to our fu-
ture My four years experience in
an up-to-date modern house has
been one of close observation and
an earnest effort to find some way
to cut off or curtail the expense
necessary for machinery, etc.
Standing one day in our Rose
Hill sugar house, in Vermillion
parish, that cost over a hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, | look
ed out over our immense steam
making plant, costing over twelve
thousand dollars, and further on
outside of the house lay coal pile,
costing nine thousand dollars, one
half of the steam plant using ground
cane or bagasse and half using coal.
l said to myself, "why can't the
juice be brought to the bagasse
boilers and cooked at once, thereby
saving the coal pile, by using the
modern mill and bagasse burners,
and cutting off the immense expen-
sive steam cooking plant9'
Now this is what | claim to have
accomplished. All the juice cook
ed into sugar and molasses on half
of the steam plant and in the same
time required to make the steam it.
self to commence cooking on cold
juice, and on boilers not very much
unlike the steam boilers used.
| have invented machine that
any boiler maker can construct
a blacksmith can erect, and COM
mon labor can operate. l have in
vented scientific open kettle sugar
house, nothing more, nothing less,
making about hundred pounds Of
raw sugar and ten gallons of 0. X.
molasses to the ton of cane, both of
which are in very great demand.
l claim that, while good mill
is indispensable, modern machinery
is financial death to the Louis
lana planter and has kept his
"nose to the veritable grindstone"
for years. OF course this state
ment will meet with obs and abs,
yet l venture not one sugar house
man in one hundred but has swal-
lowed in one gulp the statement
that twenty thousand dollar effect
will save all of his exhaust steam
without reasoning the cost of such
saving, by ascertaining the exact
worth of such exhaust steam, ten
per cent on the money used (aye
too many times twenty per cent?
and at least ten per cent for wear
and tear and satusal degeneration
Of present methods.
Acting on these different theo-
ries, l studied out and perfected, as
near as l could, my machine, and
am organizing this company to car
ry ont its purposes. Not having
the funds to carry same out, l am
offering part to my friends at
actual cost, by organizing this COM
pany, the funds of which will be
used as follows: First, an appli-
cation will be fled for letters of
patent, which will cost twenty-five
dollars, then a model will be made
Of metal on same lines of machine,
so that sweet water test can be
made on same. Then when sue
cess is assured by such test, a ma
chine or two will be made, duly
advertised and placed on the mar
ket. Respectfully,
O. M. NILSSON.
