In connection with the growth
of the sugar beet inc ustry in this
country the useof the dried beets
for food OF farm animals in Ger
many is worthy of note. This
practice has taken some ho'd

Although this in not now the sell

used them for feed practically
obtained this price 10 full by sub

the place OF corn especially well.

OF the latter will soon decrease

This idea of setting the natu-

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL. Few People Know How Useful 1t is in Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disinfec- tant and purifier in nature, but few realize it's value when taken into the hu- man system for the same cleansing pur- pose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of 1t the better; it is not drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion; 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it dis infects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char coal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges they are composed of the finest powdered willow charcoal and other harmless antisep- tics in tablet form, or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges. the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion sweeter breath and purer blood. and the beauty of 1t is. that no possible harm can result from their continued use but on the contrary, great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: "I advise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa- +ton+s S,,fferine from gas in stomach and bowels and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver is greatly bene- filed by the daily use of them they cost but twenty-five cents pox at drug stores. and although in some sense a pat ent preparation. yet believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuarts Absorbent Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

 MT. Nathan straus, the great dry goods merchant and philanthropst, believes that George B. Mcclellan, as mayor, and Edward M. Grout, as comptroller, can be trusted to give the city an honest and upright administration, and so the entire democratic ticket has his earnest sup port In conversation with him a few days ago he said: "The duty, of demo- crats everywhere in my opinion, is to harmonize their differences of every de- scription and become a unit in thought and action as a preparation for the pres idential contest next year. The republi- can party is powerful enough, as it Is and l cannot see any sound reason why dem ocrats should contribute to making 1t stronger. A fusion victory here this year means that the democratic party will enter on the presidential struggle with | weakned forces It would be so much clear gain for the republican party, Col. Mcclellan has my confidence. l believe that he will live up to his pledges, and that under his administration there will be no step backward, so far as good gov ernment is concerned"
 The republican party in this latitude is putting it's best men forward this year for every elective office in it's gift Many of the candidates thus selected are new to active politics. and it has required no little persuasion to secure their accept ance. To this class belongs Mr Howard Willets, of Westchester, who has been unanimously nominated at White Plains for the office of supervisor. MT. Willets is the owner of an immense estate in that section. and if elected. as he is very cer- tain to be, he will be the weathest su- pervisor in the Empire state. The fa- nous horse "IIeatberbloom, which holds the worlds recor for hurdle-j Jumping, be- longs to him.

rectly and peculiarly traeeable to "ten derloin" tragedy, having, at the time, not the remotest connection with Wall street or its affairs. One night woman of the town, one of the lowest of her kind, was murdered by her crazy lover. In. the course of 8 day or two the murderer was caught. He proved to be degen- crate grandson of Brigham Young, the famous Mormon apostle. In looking about for friends or relatives, the author ities discovered that the rather of the young man was John ". Young, who was in Paris on a financial mission for Wall street interests. This circumstance was mentioned in the Associated Press dispatches which came to the attention of the parties with whom Young was dealing in the French capital The iden- tification disturbed the French financiers who were about to close with Young, and take $3,O0O,000 of the bonds of the Ship Building trust. They held up ne- gotations. and the result of inquiry set on foot by them led to their withdrawal from the deal and a repudiation of their tentative agreements. This action threw back upon the American promoters that amount of securities which they had sup posed were securely placed. The default led to all kinds of complications on this side of the water, ultimately bringing the Trust Company of the Republic to the verge of ruin and saddling a mass of obligations upon the friends of the enterprise in New York. The publicity re- suited in the utter failure of the entire deal, the bankruptcy of LeRoy Dresser, the chief promoter of the scheme, the destruction of a dozen reputations and score of fortunes, and the blasting of overweening political and social ambi- 4a AL. walker in cheap "Tenderloin' room reached the heart of Wall street. The coroners record shows the taking of only one outcast life. Wall streets an- nals tells convincingly that the poor maniac who committed the murder caused a financial slaughter that has half filled a cemetery. Instead of a sin gle murder, it was a massacre, the full story of which has not yet been revealed.
 The miserable wretch who shot his mistress is tearing at the bars of lunatic asylum, his dead mistress lies in Potter's field and financial corpses are thickly strewn throughout the money community.
 At the time of the murder of disso- lute "Tenderloin'' character by her mani ac lover, it would have taken a wild leap of the imagination to have conceived a chain of circumstances which would de- velop into the greatest sensation Wall street has seen in years. These two peo- pie were utterly insignificant in the af- fairs of the world. They were little more than human insects in the great proposi- tion Yet it is vividly clear to those conversant with the facts that but for the out-of- the-way tragedy there would have been no slip in the organization of the United States Ship Building com pany, or in the sale of its stocks to the public The goods would have been Handed" and the promoters would have collected their millions of so-called profits. The sequel would have been different story.

There are various opinions among the yachting people with respect to Sir Thomas Lipton's proposed international ocean contests. His offer is looked up- on by many as Che evidence that he will never again be a contestant for the Amer ica's cup, and if he backs out there is not much probability that anyone else will enter the field. In the opinion of the yachting world. the cup is now the great trophy. It's possession marks our suprem- acy in this department of sport and the setting up of a new cup looks very much like showing 1t aside as of no import ancs, Again, ocean racing is not an new idea.A American yachts raced years ago acrosA the Atlantic, but no foreign yachts have thns far started for this side. Let Sir Thomas and his friends.| said a mem- Der of the New York Yacht club to me the other evening. race their boats to Sandy Hook, the winner to challenge for the America's cup. If they do that. ! i'm agine we can find boat to successfully defend it. Sir Thomas proposition will bear studying out. We now hold the blue ribbon of the seas. as 1t has been call ed. and do not~ee why we should run after some otheSeort of ribbon, a green one, perhaps, futtered before US by Sir Thomas"

one of the great figures, leaving a leg on the battlefield of Gettysburg He be- came minister to Spain and assisted Gambetta in setting up a Spanish re- public. Indeed it has been charged that 1t was in the American legation at Mad rid, that the patriots met from time to time and perfected their plans. From Castle, Sickles brought home with him a beautiful Spanish bride. The beauty Is not mere hearsay on my part, for l had the honor of being introduced to her by the general in Washington, while Grant was president. The old warrior made sev- eral fortunes, but could not keep them. At last, some years ago, his aged father died and left him some millions. Sickles, pere, was by the way, a character, but as Kipling says, that is another story.
