A few days ago a newspaper in this city
published a story, obtained, in a round
about way, that the Rev. H. A. Buchtel
had been arrested IN Denver on the charge
of cruelty to animals. Mr.. Buchtel once
was pastor Of the Central-avenue NJ E.
Church here and is now chancellor of the
University of Denver. DR.. j. T. McShane
has received the following letter from him
II will thank you to go TO the Indiana
polls papers and say that there is not a
syllable OF truth in the article. A party of
five ministers went hunting in the fall.
and on their return two or three saloon
loafers circulated the report that we
brought in our horses in a condition which
showed neglect. There were a few silly
people who took up the report and il
finally got into the papers. The owners
of the horses have all signed a statement
to the effect that the horses were in a good
condition and that there is not a syllable
of truth in the ridiculous report. 1t would
be humorous If 1t were not so ridiculous.
OF course, there have been no arrests, and
nothing which might be said to approach
an arrest. You know enough of this world
10 know that everything in the newspapers
is not to be believed"

WORST OVER AT CHICAGO.
MiIder weather Probably Will Avert
N Coal Famine.

CHICAGO. Dec. A.-Chicago has passed
the most serious aspect Of the coal short
age, and after Monday manufacturing es-
Establishments and big downtown buildings
Will be in a better position to fight the pos
sibility OF anything approaching a famine.
The coming Of Sunday and the apparent
break in the cold spell are the two things
that coal men believe will bring about
this change in conditions. Tomorrow the
great majority of the coal supplies of va
rious plants will remain undisturbed, and
within the next forty-eight hours the rail-
road managers say that they Will be able
10 pour enough soft coal into the city TO
prevent any further shortage.
The actual shortage, and scare result
ing from II. accompanied by frantic
rush for coal by the owners of office build
ings and factories, have combined TO dis
rupt prices and derange the fuel scales
worse than at any other time for years:
All kinds OF prices have been asked and
paid within the last two days.

PROFIT OF S A TON.

AS to the above figures, it is confidently
expected that 10000 tons will be produced
at Chino instead of the $1,000 called for
above, and we see no reason why we should
not net 500 per ton for 1899 instead of $45O
as estimated above. particularly as We
shall not have to spend over $4,000 for
freight distant beets. AT Norfolk we
are promised 5000 acres OF beets, which
ought to produce between 10000 and 45.0O0
tons at least instead Of the 80 600 estimated
Nor does there seem any good reason why
Norfolk should not earn at least as much
instead of A.25. as estimated above. We
are led to believe that Grand Island will
have 5000 acres or beets offered TO her. so

This statement shows that Grand Island
made @ profit per ton of beets of $3.50 on a
tonnage of 1856 tons. Norfolk made
tons and Chino a profit of s. O6 per ton on
tonnage of 1892 tons. The above figures
are exclusive of the cost of maintaining the
factories through the closed season, and in
clude in the case of Chino the freight at
81 per ton on about 10000 tons of beets
brought from MontalvO on account of the
noncompletion of the new factory near that
point Therefore the following is sub
mitted as representing the possibilities for
1899 the assumption that the plant at
Oxnard (Hueneme) should be doubled. In
NAL years operation Of our four factories
when fully developed and with conditions
as favorable as during the year 1898:

that II would not seem unreasonable 10
suppose that we would have 5000 tons or
more rather than the $500 estimated, nor
that the profit would not be as large as
that Of 1898, namely, S2.S9, instead of $2-15,
as estimated AS to the OXnard earnings,
ii must be borne in mind that the factory
when doubled will have a capacity for fully
ZOO tons per day, probably more If pressed
While Chino is supposed 10 be a 10O-ton
factory, so that the estimate of 100000 tons
Is conservative, based upon Chino pOSslblh-
ties. AS TO obtaining the acreage, there Is
no manner of question or room for doubt,
and II is certainly conservative to estimate
the profit at Oxnard at the same figure as
the profit al Chino, considering the large
saving in operating expense which the size
OF the factory justifes US in counting upon.
and which the superior richness of the
beets makes more than probable.
Now, as to the maintenance expenses.
The maintenance allowed for Chino in 1888
is $4,000, for Norfolk $37, 900 and for Grand
Island about $4,000 You can, think, form
your own Judgment to whether or not
the figures l have given are conservative
under these circumstances. / would not, of
course, pretend that, even with the present
prices of sugar, every year would furnish
conditions that would produce the figures
conservatively given above. L give them,
however, as a conservative calculation,
based upon known facts, and propose them
as the basis OF a capitalization of the en-
terprises that would seem attractive TO in
vestors.
Consider the above in the light of the is
sue of a first mortgage of $4,000,O00 bonds

general tightening and shortening took
place, with the result that TO their aston
ishment men found themselves able to
drive quite as far and a deal more steadily.
We owe Nardon a debt OF gratitude for
showing us what light clubs can do
Mr Hutchinson also accurately points
out the main characteristic OF the late
Freddie Taits grand swing: "He appears
to swing the club quietly down on the ball
without any hurry or forcing. To hit the
ball truly is so infinitely more important
than TO hit il hard that probably even
much weaker brethren would do well 10
initiate the control OF Mr.. Tait's swing.
This Is the honest opinion of the first anna
teur champion upon the styles of an open
and an amateur champion. and IL bears out
what We have always written on the sub
Ject.
The secret of Power.
Some hold the theory that you should hit
as hard as you can. and that IL Is more
difficult to hit truly when you hit with
some force consciously held I'm reserve. OF
course 1t is difficult to "spare a shot" and
1t is better to take a shorter club and pre- IS
than take a longer club and spare I'm an
approach shot at all events. But control
ing the energy by skill for the application
of the force just at the proper place is not
sparing; IL Is regulating the power Mr..

Andrew Strath. though he won the cham
pion belt for professionals. Old Willie
Park had a model style of accuracy and
drove long balls, yet he was by no means
strong man. Davie Strath and Captain
Stewart were even finer drivers than the
renowned Tommy Morris: there was no
brute force in any of their STYLES.
The secret is in nursing the power Just
near the point OF striking. hitting clean
and following on. Old Willie Park would
follow on for a pace or two. so keen was
he to give all he could as IL were, after
hitting, though he showed by his wonder
ful one-two-three movement before hitting
a graceful ease of style And he four
times gained the champion belt.

because he never sees himself play.
You cannot do without enthusiasm: hut
do not let that prevent you from studying
style. Be individual in style, but In keep
ing with the recognized standard. WithlI

you through so far, but that is not enough.
The glory of the game cannot be appre-
ciated without good style. So cultivate
style, play correctly and firmly and YOU
will ere long succeed.

The Future of Morocco.
From the National Review.

From the National Review.
1t is impossible TO write on the subject
of Morocco without some mention of its
future. There is no need to enter into
speculation-and 1t is all speculation-as to
what that future may be. 1t need only be
pointed out that in the interests OF all the
powers of Europe. it is necessary to MAIN
tain the status quo. The internal condi-
tion of the country is not satisfactory. The
recent long series of arrests, imprison-
ments, and confiscations has disturbed the
tranquility of the governing classes, who
do not know whose turn may come next.
while it must be confessed that the young
sutan's European tastes nave not increased
his popularity. That a general upheaval
may take place is extremely unlikely, but
there is certainly strong existing feeling
of unrest, which tends to let loose the
wilder spirit of the people, who see an op-
portunity of paying off old scores and maxi
ing new ones and who are not slow to turn
their nands to robbery and pillage. So
long as they keep these national amuse-
ments to themselves there is little or no
danger. but directly the interests of Euro
pean traders are affected-and their cattle
feeding in the interior are often looted
then the question becomes one in which the
powers are interested. Claims are made
against the Moorish government in accord
ance with treaty rights. These claims are
always disputed and often refused, and diff
ficulties invariably arise. sometimes ending
in naval demonstrations and shaking the
very foundations of the rotten fabric Of
the decaying country.

Vaccination for Smallpox.
m the London Telepr,nb


A furious debate, it is more than prob
able, will rage round the smallpox outbreak
on the merits of vaccination Most sensible
persons have made up their minds on that
subject. Meanwhile there is an equally in
dlspensable precaution, and one which has
the positive advantage of giving improved
health to the community, and not merely
the negative virtue Of comforting immunity
from one disease-we must secure such con-
ditions as tend to arrest or prevent small
pox Glasgow last year set an example in
all municipalities. Every infected area
every insanitary court or alley, was subject
ed to vigorous and systematic disinfection.
and these measures, with the immedjate
isolation of the sick and vaccination of
those exposed to contagion, stayed the epi-
demic.
In some respects smallpox resembles nv.
drophobia. In neither of these terrible dis
eases has the bacillus been discovered
though little doubt exists that botb arc
bacterial. Several investigators. among
them Burden Sanderson Klein Crool<sha rI
and Copeman, have demonstrated the nres-
ence of bacteria in cowpox or Vaccine
lymph, but as DR.. Newman saws to this
day, "the nature Of the specific virus awaits
discovery AS in rabies also vaccination is
enective after as well as before the conta-
gion Administered to patient showing
incipient symptoms-and. of course. in the
early stages of it-ameliorates the attack
just as Pasteur's treatment does in the "a ca
