Clay, favoring the measure, said
concerning the prediction that the pas
sage of the bill would ruin the sugar
industry of Louisiana, that we could
consume all the sugar produced in the
United States, Hawaii, Porto Rico and
all the American republics. Therefore,
he believed the senators who oppose the

He did not believe that in the life of
the treaty Cuba would be able to pro-
duce enough sugar to affect seriously
the industry in this country.

THE supreme court Of North Caro-
lima has just handed down an opinion
in which it holds that railroads are en-
titled to the free use Of their property,
unrestrained by individuals and ex-
cept at public crossings no one has
the right to use the track for private
purposes. The case is that Of wo-
man who was injured, while walking
a trestle, by section master in charge
Of hand car, and the opinion though
appearing to a layman as a matter OF
course, Is really important, as it Is a
step toward the settlement Of certain
points about which there has long
been doubt. There Is no question OF
the railroads right to use its right OF
way, but there has been and Is ques-
ton as to whether an individual Pc
destrian has the same privilege so
long as there Is no damage to the
property or interference with the bus
iness Of the railroad. The inclination
of the North Carolina court seems
to be against the privilege so common
ly exercised, and If this view spreads
1t promises to eventually result In
regulations that will prohibit the use
of railroad tracks as travelled ways for
pedestrians.

came more pronounced until 1T cu!-
minated Saturday evening In such
scenes Of disorder that the Logan
House was obliged to close its bar at
8 o'clock, three hours ahead Of the
time limit. Then the throng sought
solace at the Addison House, where
they proceeded to get intoxicated as
only Vermonter can when dry. The
finale came with a rush and left brok-
en- teeth, faces and other sections OF
anatomy in its trail. AS the result
State Attorney James B. Donoway has
been busy all day Issuing warrants,
having made out eighteen and having

real good stories illustrating how easy
1t is for q man who knows how to do
the public He said: Several years
ago there was q fellow who landed in
a certain town and went to a grocer's,
bought about a dozen bars of ordinary
laundry soap, took 1t to his room in
the hotel, cut it into blocks about an
inch square wrapped 1t In fancy wrap
pers on which were printed glowing
testimonials as to the superior merits
Of the soap for almost any conceivable
use, and especially as a remover Of
grease spots from either cotton, wool
en- or silk fabrics. He then mounted
q box on a street corner and managed
to attract q large crowd, by schemes
peculiar to his breed. Then he COM
menced to dilate on the merits of his
"Great Cleanser" The crowd listen
ed, but did not seem to believe all he
was saying and hesitated about invest
ing the quarters demanded for the
SOAP Presently a farmer came driv-
ing his wagon by where the would
be-soap-seller was singing his song.
Suddenly the soap man threw up his
He went to the wagon took off a
wheel, pulled a snow-white silk hand
kerchief from his pocket and proceeded
to use it wiping the axle. You can
imagine the appearance Of the hand
kerchief after the wiping process had
been completed: He then called for a
pan of water, took q piece Of his soap
and proceeded to wash the handker-
chief. In a few minutes the hand
kerchief was waved before the crowd
as white and clean as before the axle
wiping had been done. Then 1t was
that the crowd commenced to fall over
each other to get the soap. In a short
time the supply was exhausted. A
gentleman who had witnessed the
whole proceeding followed the soap
man to his room at the hotel and said,
My friend witnessed your perform
ance out there in the street. While
am free to confess that I did not see
through your trick, am satisfied, that
there was one, and now that 1t Is all
over, would like to know how you did
it. Well, my friend was the reply,
I don't mind telling you. I just had
that old farmer to grease his wagon
with Grand Pas tar soap!'"
