took for his text: "And they continued
steadfastly in the apostles doctrine

sellman spoke of the duties Of the pas
tor to the members of his congregation

Ingenious SwindIe That Is Tempting 10
Local Spectators.
letter TELLING HOW TO Get RICH
Received by Persons In This
Vicinity-..pIan Proves Sue
cessful In Many Gases.

The people of this vicinity would be
amazed IL they knew how many of
their fellow citizens are sending good
hard dollars to New York get-rich- quick
concerns. These New York fakes are
always inventing some new bait and are
always pulling in suckers. Here is one
of the tricks of fake stock brokerage
houses.
The broker sends, say 400 letters to
people throughout the country. Two
hundred letters contain the informa-
ton that, beginning with the first of
the week, S. L. o. p. is bound to move
upward. The other 200 letters state
that S. l.. o. p. will be sent TO the
bottomless pit. The broker IL always
careful to select stock subject to
wide fluctuations. No matter which
way S. l.. o. =. moves, there are large
number of the 200 people who believe
the tip was genuine, and kick them.
selves because they did not take ad
vantage of 1t.
The broker, of course, keeps the ad-
dress of the people to whom the let
ters were sent. Suppose for example,
that S. l.. o. p. went up five points.
The broker would send letter like
the following to the people who were
given the tip that there would be an
upward movement in the stock:
I'm my last letter 1 gave you the
valuable information that s. l.. o. p.
was going up. / was right. An invest

tage of this valuable Information you
must have your money in this Office
before December II. Nothing less than
500 accepted"
This is a tempting bait, ana many
victims are lured into the trap. A let
ter similar to the foregoing would have
been sent to the people who get the tip
that S. l.. o. p. vas going down, pro-
viding 1t did not go down. The broker

POLITICS OF JAPAN.
Marquis Ito Doubts the Report Of
Trouble.

NEW YORK. Oct. 2s.-Marquis Ito,
former premier of Japan, has reiterated,
through Mr.. Furya, a member of his
suite. the declaration that he knows
nothing of the reported movements be-
gun against the ministry of Japan bv the
party of which the Marquis is leader.
The present cabinet, which was form
ed by Viscount Katsura, has stood aloof
from politics." said Mr. Furya. 1.-THE
constitutional party, which the MARQUIS
leads, has the majority in the lower
mouse of representatives. There was
harmony between the cabinet and the
constitutional party when the MARQUIS
left Japan, and he has received no news
that there have been any changes in the
relations of the party and the cabinet.
The understanding was that the consti-
tutional party was to do all in its pcwe-
to promote harmony. There is no impor-
tant question at issue and nothing will
be done until the diet meets next Janu-
uary.
If a movement against the present
ministry was contemplated the MARQUIS
would have received news OF it long be-
fore this"

CZOLGOSZ REFUSES TO DROP
ANARCHY FOR RELIGION

{ abandoned the church early in life. and
had lost all faith in its teachings
Father Szardinski urged him to re-
nounce his belief in anarchism and re-
turn to the faith of his early years
Czolgosz declared his inability to do so,
and he was informed that unless he
could the consolation Of the church
would be denied him. The priest urged
the condemned man to consider the
matter carefully, and told him that If
at any time he decided to re-embrace
the faith he would return from his home
In Rochester and stay with him until
the end. Father Szardinski, before TAX
ing his departure, left with Czolgosz
some Catholic literature printed in
Polish and also some emblems of the
church. Czolgosz assured Father Scar
dinski that in case he determined to ac-
cept the Offices of religion he would
send for him, but he did not hold out
much hope that he would renounce the
doctrines of anarchism.

AUBURN IN. ", Oct. 22.-Leon F.
Czolgosz, the assassin of President Nc
Kinley, who is awaiting eIectrocution
in the prison here during the week
commencing next Monday, fully realiz-
ing that his death is now a question of
a few days, has asked for spiritual con-
ISOLATION, and this afternoon received a
visit from Rev. T. Szardinski, Polish
priest of the Roman Catholic Church.
Czolgosz' request for priest of his
own nationality was made known to
Warden Meade in the morning. Father
Szardinski, who is pastor of st. Stanis-
laus' Church, Rochester, was in this
city, and was asked to visit the pris-
oner. This afternoon he went to the
prison. and remained there about an
hour
The interview between the priest and
the prisoner proved very unsatisfactory
to both. 1t took place in the condemned
mans cell, and the conversation was
carried on in Polish. During the inter-
view Czolgosz said that he had been
baptized in the Roman Catholic faith

where the fight will undoubtedly come,
will make it impossible for farmers to
grow sugar beets profitably. The imme-
date effect would be TO turn over to the
refiners of sugar the whole industry free
from me aggressive competition of the
growers of sugar beets
The circular was considered one of the
boldest attempts ever made to prove by
figures that the public, instead of the
sugar trust. would save $S5 $1,000. Moth
ing is said of the certainty that the beet
sugar industry would be killed, and that
all sugar, instead of only half of 1t now
and all of it later. would be imported
and that the entire trade, including i'm
portation and refining, would be turned
over to the trust.
The circular concludes as follows:
Remove the duty and the whole $s4,
9S1, $50 will accrue to the public. On Octo-
her 8th the quotation for Cuba centrifu-
gal sugar, Sc per cent test, free on board
Cuba, was L96 cents per pound. and the
duty on the same amounted to 1.6S5 cents
per pound. which is equivalent to Sc per
cent ad valorem."
From the circular it will be seen that
sugar in Cuba sold for about 1.96 cents
a pound on October Sth. Prices are now
the lowest on record. The duty is 1.6S5
cents. The cost of refining, including the
margin Of profit to the sugar trust as
testified to before the legislative commit
tee, is half a. cent a pound. This makes
total of 4.145 a pound. But the reiners
now, except where there is competition
OF beet sugar in the Middle West, are
charging more than cents q pound.

on the Brooklyn in the summer of 1898,
was leading witness in the Schley in

ton of the battle of July Sd the witness
said:
Probably fifteen minutes after we
started the Spanish ships had nearly all
gotten out. There were three of them. 1

and we were about to cross the line of

order was given to port the helm.

from our batteries never ceased from the
time we started on the turn till the end
OF the battle when the Colon went

fired. The Texas was on our starboard
hand and she was fully a third of mile
from us. There was never any question
in my mind about striking her. We did
not come anywhere near. We did not
cross her bow. We were slightly ahead
of her and turned IN that way entirely
clear of her. After the swing around we
lined up parallel with the Spanish fleet.
In few minutes the Teresa went ashore
on fire. Soon after the Oquendo follow

ANNIHILATION
OF BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY

NEW YORK, October 2l-The ami
hilation of the sugar-growing industry
of the whole country is threatened by
the American Sugar Refining Company.
Not only has the attack been made di-
rectly against the beet sugar-groweIs,
an industry that is thriving now in thir-
teen states, but the growers of sugar
cane in the South must face bankruptcy
if the present schemes of the sugar trust
are carried out.
The plan is TO abolish the protective
system, to admit sugar free of duty and
to turn over to the sugar trust and its
associates the whole business of refin-
ing and distributing sugar.
To remove the duty on sugar. protec-
ton that has started an industry which
now supplies half, and in time will sup
ply the whole country's demand, would
enable the trust to crush out competi-
ton and put into the pockets of its own
ers the greater part of the sums it now
pays in duty to the United States Treas
ury. The trusts champions estimate
that the sum to accrue to the people (the
trusD would be more than $S5,0O0,VVJ each
year, and home industry would be blotted
out.
No evidence that the humiliation of
the beet-sugar industry of the country
was threatened came TO light until to-
day, when circular was published
which showed conclusively that this was
the trusts idea. The circular was issued
by Willett & Gray, whose business it is
to collect statistics of the sugar-reffning
trade. This publication recommends the
abolition of duties on all sugar, and
