Young Men Indicted fof Disturbing RslIg.
lous Meetings.

A case of considerable interest
was before County Judge B. B
Miller Monday mornig, John
Stafford and James Barger, Of
the Gays chapel neighborhood,
west Rowan, being the defend
ants. The charge against these
young men was for the disturb
ance of religious worship, which
the people thereabouts have sub.
mitted to under various phases
for a year or more. The disturb
ances consisted of talking, laugh
ing. smoking and jeering, both in
the church during services, but
more particularly during Sunday
school, and on the grounds about
the church. One of the boys had
a rubber snake which was being
exhibited and creating some ex-
element.
A number of good people from
that neighborhood, including the
pastor, Rev. S. s. Higgins, were
present and testified in detail to
the charges, aud others, testified
to the contrary. After hearing
the matter Judge Miller decided
the boys we're guilty and taxed
them with half the cost.
1t was with reluctance that the
officers of the church brought &C
tion IN this case, but after repeat
ed requests for a discontinuance
of the disturbances we're ignored,
this course was taken as q last
resort, preferably to breaking up
the church and Sunday School.
Two others. Zeb Mccullough
6uu Jonn Vneen, were also lndlct.
ed, but submitted and we're re-
leased upon payment of costs.
The trustees of the church had
previously met and passed reso.
lutions of their intention to have
good order in and about the
building during services, gave
due notice to all concerned and
stated their intention to invoke
the law should further disturb.
ance be made. Like previous
efforts this was scoffed at, go last
Friday, T. S Kincaid, superin-
tendent of the Sunday School at
tbs instance of the trustees,
swore out warrants with the re-
suit as above stated.

Business and Finance

Investments has already assumed large
proportions regardless Of the pending
decisions, and II the demand for bonds
continues IL viii be comparatively easy
to finance the needs Of the railways
for the cost of new construction and
improvements. Once this is accom-
plished there viii be a decided increase
in the demand for steel and other ma
teriais, and better employment for Ia
Dor, which will increase che buying
power Of the whole country.
The decisions from the interstate
commerce commission will be handed
down during February, and they will
undoubtedly prove Of great Importance
in their bearing on the condition OF
the investment market, while the con-
dition of the investment market will
have determining effect on the course
of general trade. The decisions by the
Supreme Court are not feared as they
were, as there is a feeling that the
court will not make a ruling calculate
ed TO upset the conditions under which
so large proportion Of the country's
business is conducted. A ruling that
would satisfy public clamor, and at the
same time point out basis on which
combinations can be formed legally,
would do much to promote industrial
prosperity. Such a decision would
necessitate further government reRula-
tion of industrial corporations, but, as
with the railways, that would not be
disastrous, and it would legalize many
existing corporations and permit others
to change their form of being so as to
come inside the law-Boston Financial

FOR HAWAII OYSTERS.

Hilo epicureans have treat in store
for them, for, if the plans of Attorney
W. s. Wise mature, they will soon be
able to sit at the end of the carriage
road at Lokoaka and pick live oysters
out of the ponds which are located
there, says the Hilo Tribune. Some
time ago Wise was told by a Japanese
friend of the fine oysterbeds which are
to be found in Japan, where the rails.
ing of oysters is regular industry.
He accordingly communicated with one
of the firms there, ordering shipment
of oyster seed, which he expects will
arrive in Hilo in March.
Wise has given instructions to have
special care taken with the shipment,
in order that the bivalves may arrive
here alive. If they survive they will
be planted in the ponds at Lokoaka
which are controlled by the Hilo Road
and Gun Club, and every effort will be
made to have them multiply and grow
numerous. Doctor Grace at one time
tried to import oysters from Sam Fran
cisco, and number were planted at
Lokoaka, but it is generally believed
that they were dead when planted, and
that the experiment failed for that rea.
son. Wise has in the past imported sew
eral species of animals here He brought
the first bullfrogs here, and he also i'm

THE COFFEE MARKET.

NEW YORK, January 26.-Early
cables were very disappointing in view
of our strong close yesterday. After
early morning HaVe declined u to q,
losing most of its gain, while Hamburg
lost the little gain which it made early
in the day. Today being a. holiday in
Brazil, there was very little news from
that country with reference to the
market. Importers who We're advised,
however, stated that the price was
steady at about unchanged from yes
terday. Our market opened off sharply
and in the early trading little selling
developed from outside sources which
was followed later by selling from the
coffee trade. The market was not more
than steady at any time through the
day, closing at the low level. Lending
importers were moderate buyers, but
showed no disposition to force an ad-
vance, seeming to prefer that the mar
ket take its natural course and if there
were those who were determined to
sell, to let them do so.-Darden to Hut

SUGAR sTrIPMRNTs.

The sugar mills on the various plan
tations are grinding steadily and while
cutting has been delayed slightly in
some districts by the rains, there Is a
general feeling among the managers Of
the large plantations that things are
progressing satisfactorily and that out.
side Of the present low price Of sugar
and apparently continuation of this
rate for some time to come, the sugar
outlook for the Islands could hardly be
better.
So far during this season $4,000 tons
Of sugar have been shipped of which
70 900 went ont in December and $4,000
IN January. This month there will be
S0,750 sent to market by way of Te-
huantepec and Cape Horn. In January
the steamship Virginian carried 5000
tons; the Mexican, 1000, and the Mis-
sourian, $500 tons, all via the isthmus.
The Matson steamers, during the same
time, carried a total of 1880 tons to
the Coast.
The sailings for this month via Cape
Horn and Tehuantepec will be by the
ship Nuuanu, from Kaanapali, around
the Horn, with 1850 tons; the ship E.
NJ Phelps, February 10, around the
Horn, with 800 tons; the American.
Hawaiian steamship Columbian, via
Tehuantepec, February u, with 12,00C
tons; the American-Hawaiian steam
ship Alaskan, February "a, with $4,000
tons.
Besides this it is probable that the
Matson and Oceanic steamers will
carry sugar to the Coast in consider.
able quantity.
The weather, according to reports
has been generally favorable, with
heavy rains in sections where it will
do the most good, even while causing
some delays.

SUGAR NOTES.

Removal of Export Duties.-[ From
Consul. General Thomas Summons. Yo.
kohama. THE effort, which proved
successful, to abolish the export duty
on sugar in Formosa, is attributed to
the overproduction OF sugar, estimated
at 40,O00,00O pounds. 1t is announced
in Japan that the sugar dealers guild
of Formosa had agreed to make no
shipments until after January, 1911.
The export duty on sugar (22h cents
per picul of 1873 pounds on brown sugar
and 2s cents on refined sugar. was i'm
posed when the Japanese took posses
sion of Formosa, with view of divert
ing trade to Japan, since shipments to
Japan were exempt from the duty. The
abolition of the export duties will, it
is believed, promote the trade with
China.
According to the latest estimate by
Willett & Gray, January 10, the total
sugar crop of the world for this season
will amount to l7,144,O0O, an increase
over the production of last season of
2,211964 tons. OF this the total cane
sugar crop is estimated at S,6l2, 600
and the total beet sugar crop at $685..
600.

BLooD-RED MUD.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 27.-The
Lakeview gusher, which holds the
worlds record as an oil producer and
which began running about half-water
week or ten days ago, is now doing
the third spectacular and phenomenal
stunt by producing a blood-red mud
of a consistency never before seen to
ooze from the bowels of Mother Earth.
Some eight or ten days ago the well
was doing close to 10000 barrels of oil
daily, when it suddenly turned to about
sixty per cent. water. Last Sunday
a change in the production, also its
contents, was noted and a test was
made. The result of the test shows it
to be three per cent. water, forty:hve
per cent. mud and ffty-two per cent. oil
1t is flowing this eonglomeration at the
rate of between 5000 and 60OO barrels
day. The chemist who tested the
product states that the mud is of
cement consistency and the most pecu-
liar substance he has ever, examined
1t is of a blood-red color, very fine
grained and when put under a moderate
heat forms into a mass as hard as the
hardest granite. Present indications are
that the well viii soon cease to flow.
