Efforts to Corner the Sugar
Market Costly.

Sugar worth $1,000, 600 that came to
this country from Cuba and Java, was
refined here and then sent to Liverpool
and London, is coming back to this port
because a syndicate of spectators has
failed in its efforts to corner the sugar
market and must unload the burden
resulting fIom an overstocked English
market. The sugar in question was
shipped from this port last summer on
the steamers Of the American Red Star
and Manchester Lines. 1t will be
brought back and sold as fast as the
steamers can be secured at terms to suit
The first vessel, the British steamer
Holmesdale, was chartered last week
to being 6, 900 tons at the low rate Of
about 50 per ton from Liverpool.
Others will follow as favorable charters
can be effected As a side issue the
Treasury officials are puzzled over the
rates of duty, if any, that can be
charged on the return cargoes.
When the sugar was exported draw
back equal to the duty in the raw pro-
duct when it came from abroad, was
allowed to the shippers. Foreign re-
fined sugars pay a duty of l 9 10 cents
per pound, but this sugar was refined
in this country, most of it in Phiia-
delphia, and the custom house officials
are in a quandary. In the meantime,
the syndicate interested is said to have
lost heavily on the reports of big crops
in Cuba and other West India Islands,
and an alleged heavy increase in the
beet sugar production in this country.
The loss to another band of specula-
tors, who recently had four heavily
loaded vessels awaiting orders at the
Delaware b. eakwater, is estimated at
$500, 600 They could not unload on
the refnars at the increased prices and
the attempt to corner the raw product
proved SO disastrous to the promoters as
did the attempt to corner the British
market for the refined article.

When College Girls Marry.

1t can be definitely established by sta
tistics here considerably omitted that
the age Of marriage Of college girls is no
later than the age of marriage of their
noncollege sisters and acquaintances.
AS the home ceased to provide its
daughters with adequate education and
with adequate employment, what was
their situation? In the working class =
it was simply this: That they went into
factories and that their sweethearts mar
ried them somewhat later than had pre-
viously been the case, because their
share as wives in the support Of the
family was increasingly smaller. But
the working class man soon reaches
his maximum earning capacity in his
craft and stays there. His financial in
fancy is short compared with that of the
middle class man. He therefore
marries younger
In the middle class. however,
science and system began to lengthen
the mental and financial infancy of the
men to such an extent that the cold
maid" of % became common. What
were the girls in the middle class to
do while the boys were growing up to
be men in mind and in money! William,
Hard, IN EUerybodys.

Cheaper Neoessa hes Of Living.

AS the Associated Piss announces, the
people are rejoicing a over the country

it is not yet felt everywhere in the retail
trade, in which consurtrs have the most
concern. Various CASES. more or less
valid, are assigned I'd this phenomenon

fall Of prices of all nEessaries OF living

combinations almost Immediately after
the American peoplI had pronounced
their decree at the bllot-box. Hence
the involuntary convidon i'll many minds
that the Beef Trust baSns are anticipating
the measures for restIining their power
and seeking to appeEe, if possible, the
public dlScontentS maIfested on election
day. There is no evil ence OF this as vet
in Trusts controllinglhe prices Of other
necessaries, which hide been pushed up
as high as the meats toportionately with
the cost OF production But their prices
are also likely to com down in sympathy
with the fall of beef. hilton and pork he
fore there is a stroke compulsory legiS-
lation in reduction tariff schedules.
The more astute beef hagnates are prob
ably only little aheal OF the others
After all, the most btent cause of the
phenomenon is in theIatural law of sup
ply and demand, whicI monopolistic com
binations are able teIporarily to nuIlify
but cannot repeal. Nen abundant har-
vests have filled barn with food for men
and cattle, and whenteight stations and
cold storage warehouls are gorged with
commodities that hav3utstripped the de-
mand because of TIL abnormally high
prices, the only attentive was to come
down or undergo heaYlosses because the
consumption did notIeep pace with the

ARRESTED AFTER FIGHT.
White River Junction Physici Drew
Revolver On Sheriff, But Was Fin

White River Junction, June &C.
Sheriff Eugene A. Thomas of Wood
stock had thrilling experience here
last night when he went to the home
of DR.. S. j. Allen to arrest him, for
performing an alleged criminal opera
ton on st. Johnsbury woman two
months ago. DR.. Allen drew a 80
calibre revolver, but after a sharp
fight, Sheriff Thomas overpowered
and handcuffed him, after which he
was taken to a Woodstock Jail. DR..
Allen has been a notorious character
for years, having served five, years in
the State prison at Charlestown,
Mass, for killing a man in a Boston
saloon. He is said to have killed
man while an army surgeon in the
West twelve years ago and shot a
man while shooting at target, shat
tering his jaw. He has narrowly es-
capped prosecution several times for
alleged criminal operations.
