SLAVES OF THE HAVEMEYER
SUGAR TRUST.

Taking up the cue given by
Upton Sinclair, whose noted
work, The Jungle" achieved
such remarkable success, the
New York World has entered
upon a crusade against the Sugar
Trust. The World asserts that
the Sugar Trust slavery makes
labor too ignorant to get other
employment, too underpaid t o
save, too helpless to organize;
that when a man drops uncon-
scious in the scorching atmos-
phere his pay stops short. Bru-
tally and degradation 60 to
make up the lump of sweetness
you drop into your coffee. Con-
tinuing, the World says:
This is a plain story of sugar
and its slaves in New York.
They make that pretty crystal
lump of sweetness which you
drop into your morning cup of
coffee. 1t looks so clean and
seems so pure and white that
never a suspicion arises in the
minds of the taints mixed there
in and the horrible conditions
under which it is produced.

THE RAILROADS.

We have shown that the peo-
pie are paying to the Iron Noun
tain Railroad on the two items
of interest on its stocks and
interest on it's bonds, the sum of
six thousand dollars each year
for each mile of road; that under
our present system they will con-
Stinue to pay this for all time to
come; and that they are paying
enough every four years to build
the road.
If the government owned the
railroad these two items would
be entirely wiped off.
Suppose t h t when Grover
Cleveland sold the two hundred
and sixty-two million dollars in
bonds he had used this money to
build railroads.
At $50, 900 mile, which is a
fair average price for building,
that money would build Is, 100
miles of railroad.
That would build trunk line
from New York o Seattle;
another from Savannah, Ga, to
SanFrancisco, and build half
dozen lines from one of these
trunks to the other.
The railroad problem would
have been settled long ago.
Instead of that what did we
get?
What good did the bonds do
the government?
We owe the debt alright, and
have no benefit whatever to show
for that debt.
Some people really believe that
it would bankrupt the govern
ment to buy the railroads, and
do not once stop to think of this
vast sum of money that Grover
Cleveland worse than wasted.
Two hundred and sixty-two mil
lion dollars in bonds that never
did and never will be one cent
profit to any body except the
bondholders who bought them
and the banks who use them as
their basis and the man or men
who got the "rake-off."
If these bonds had been used
then, twelve years ago, to build
government railroads and the
roads had been operated at the
same rates charged now by
other roads, they would long ago
have paid all of that bonded
debt. What could have been
done then, could be done now.

A SEISMIC PATH DESCRIBED.
Disturbances Are Curiously Between
3Oth and 4Oth Parallels.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
In spite of the declaration OF some sch
entists that there can be no possible con.
nection between the eruption of Mount
Vesuvious and the earthquake at San
Francisco. others are inclined to view GER
tain facts In regard to recent seismic and
volcanic activity as. to say the least,
suggestive.
Last month there was a severe earth
quake in the Island OF Formosa and many
lives were lost there. while an enormous
amount of damage was done. A few days
ago there was another earthquake in the
same island. Still greater havoc was
caused by IT than by the earthquake In
March. but fewer lives were lost, as far as
is known at present. the reason being that
the people were warned In time.
Ten days ago the eruption Of Mount We
suvius reached its height and devastated
the country around the volcano, covering
an enormous territory with ashes and caus-
Ing the loss of hundreds OF lives
On Tuesday night word was received from
Piatigorsk. Ciscaucasia. that there has been
two severe earthquake shocks the previous
day in northern Caucasla.
The same night a telegram from Madrid
said that the newspapers there reported
that the -long-dormant volcano on Palma,
the largest of the Canary Islands. was
showing signs of eruption, columns or
smoke issuing from the crater.
There is one very remarkable circum-
stance in regard to all this activity. All
the places Observation-Disclosures, southern
Italy Caucasia and the Canary Islands
lie within belt bounded by lines a little
north of the fortieth parallel and a little
south OF the thirtieth parallel. San Fran
cisco is Just south of the fortieth parallel.
while Naples is just north OF it. The lati-
ture of Calabria where the terrible earth
ouakes occurred last year, is the same as
that of the territory aected by the recent
earthquake In the United States.
There is another coincidence, which may
he only a coincidence, bat which Is also
suggestive. The last previous great erup-
ton of Vesuvius was in 1872. ard the same
year saw the last previous eATth2uake IN
California which caused loss OF life

ODD FORM OF TREE GRATING.
How Mexicans Have Secured Curious
Effects in Wood Coloring.

From the Pacific Fruit World
Some owners of forests of valuable woods
are trying experiments In the southern part
of Mexico with the walnut trees 1t is not
generally known outside the trade that
there are many kinds of walnut woods and
that only part Of them have so far been
considered valuable from a commercial
point of view. Now the scheme is to make
these less valuable or worthless walnuts
commercially valuable. And the process is
a curious one.
1t consists of opening the roots of the
trees and Inserting one or more nuts, which
are quite small, from the best varieties of
walnut trees. 1t is said that these nuts,
which are carefully sealed in with wax
or a stiff. waterproof stopper. impart new
or closer grain and eoloring to the tree.
The southern Indians of Mexico have for
centuries been In the habit of securing
curious effects In cnloring on fine woods by
inserting in the above manner nuts OF
other trees into the roots of the living tree.
An enterprisfng planter In Tabasco has
been following out this Indian idea with
curious results. He mentioned this to
other haciendados. and now several of
them are experimenting with the coarser
kinds of walnut trees with encouraging
results.

CAPTURING WOLF BoUNTIEs.
Stories Told of Methods of Michigan
Hunters.

From the Detroit News.
The method by which a Marquette county
wolf hunter secured s54 in bounty was to
bury a quantity of meat In the snow of the
early winter, and above the meat to place
traps which were also covered by snow In
the regular course of precipitation.
In due time the meat ripened sufficiently
to give hints of its whereabouts. and was
then sought by the wolves, which. digging
downward. sprung the traps and-the boun-
ty One, more cunning than mis- fellows,
avoided the trap by tunneliing under il and
securing the bait without exchanging his
hide for 1t.
The method of catching wolves by trap
ping Is fair one, but what shall be said
of the L'Arlse man who, capturing female
wolf taught her to become decoy for the
gallants of her tribe? With long chain
about her neck made fast at one end she
was allowed wide range of captivity. She
sang for company, and when admirers APP
peared fiirted desperately with them.

SEARCH FOR GOLD IN VAIN.
Unable to Find Loot in SPOT Desig-
mated In Dream

From the Chicago Record Herald
Believing that a spot in which an i'm
mense fortune had been buried had been
revealed TO him in a dream, George Woods,
Clinton trapper, accompanied by c. L.
Henry also a trapper. has dynamited
cliff in the vicinity of Robbers cave In an
attempt to find the treasure. Though the
attempt was unsuccessful, 1T has revived
stories of a generation ago to the effect
that hundreds of thousands of dollars in
gold and money had been secreted in the
bluffs near the famous cave.
According to the tales which were preva-
lent two or three decades ago, the great
fortune had been buried In the cliffs by
band of thieves which had infested that
part of the country. 1t was said that AFTER
a raid the band would meet near Robbers
cave and in the presence of every member
the spoils would be buried in q predeter-
mined spot According to the tale the rob-
bers managed to get large fortune pefore
they were apprehended-
Since the apprehension of the thieves
an air of mystery has always lowered
about the cave, which was appropriately
named Robbers cave by the residents or
the country. The great cavern has been
the mecca of many hundreds of people. all
of them intent on discovering the, hldlng
place of the robbers loot. None of them
has been successful, however, and finally
the search was given up.
The cave Itself bears We'll the, ar OF
mysticism which surrounds it. 1t opens
from one of the bluffs overlooking Thou
sand Islands, and is a picturesque spot
Every summer many thousands OF people
gaze into its great depth and wonder
where the bottom really is. No one has
been found who is brave enough to de-
sccnd into il far enough to determine the
exact depth. Some years ago an expedi-
ton was formed and went to the spot
armed with long ropes. One Of the MEM
bers was tied on the end of a rope and
cautiously let down into the mouth OF the
cavern, He went down several hundred
feet but found no bottom.
A number of other expeditions have since
been formed but no one has had the cour-
age to explore the cave to its bottom.
Rushing water can at times be heard In
the cavern and a current OF fresh air
constantly issues from its mouth. AS no
outlet has been found, it is believed by
many that the cavern is really great
tunnel under the Mississippi river, with
it's outlet somewhere on the Illinois side
This explanation, 1t is believed, clears the
mystery of it's bottom, the current of fresh
air and the sound of rushing water.
