All our refineries are now in
operation. We learn that the cane
is heavy and yielding fair ton
mage. The cane is also rich in
saccharine matter and producing
a high average of sugar to the ton.
We learn also that there is a sharp
competition for the cane, and az
much as a dollar per cent value of
sugar is offered the planter for the
cane, which is high price. If
this price is really paid our cane
growers for their cane, the price
to some extent. will compensate
for the short crop. The reports
come from everywhere that a large
quantity of seed cane has been
put down, which means that the
cane crop of the next season will
be much larger than the present
one.

HEROIC DARING
Government Life Saving Crew
Receive Gold Medals.

From the thirty-first day of October to
the eleventh day of November, 1888, the
crew of the u. s. life-saving station at
Cleveland, Ohio, saved twenty-seven
men and two women from vessels thrown
ashore by the storms that dashed the
waters of Lake Erie. To each Of the
nine men in the crew the government
gold medal " for heroic daring" was
awarded.
One of the crew was Chas. L. Learned.
While attempting to get line to a dis
tressed vessel, the life-boat capsized and,
when the boat rolled over, he was caught
beneath it. Finally he was washed out
by the waves and drifted ashore where
helping hands revived him. The other
members of the life crew made their way
to the shore and hurried for the beach APP
paratus. In about one hour and a half
they returned and Learned had so far
recovered that he made his way to the
scene of the wreck and took his place
with the crew. All hands We're saved,
but Learned's career as a life-saver was
ended. In relating the story he said
that rheumatism quickly set in as re-
suit of the cold and exposure. This was
complicated with neuralgia. 81 had
such pains i'll my back that could hardly
move" he says, land the least excite
ment would cause my heart to beat
violently. I had to be very careful of
my diet and suffered much distress after
eating. l could not sleep, my head
ached, I was all rundown and dis.
couraged. Having been disabled in the
government service, Ireceived something
over six hundred dollars in addition t.

Mr.. Learned is now prosperous far.
