Highest of all in Leavening Power. THE DANGER IN SUGAR Industry in Which the United States Should Lead. . YET THE COOLIE TRADE THRIVES Supported by American Consumer. Ig norant of the Danger to Which They May Be Exposed. Few people probably the world over, particularly in this active, vigorous life, as they drop the little sweet crys tals into their tea and coffee, ever stop to consider the origin of sugar, its cen turies of use and improvement, its en ormous factorship in trade channels ramifying the complete oirole of the globe, in almost every nation, of every clime, and the prodigious figures reached in the volume of its manu facture and consumption. A brief synopsis of the growth of this remark able product might not prove uninter esting to the reader hereof. Formerly chemists called every sweet substance sugar. The original habitat of sugar cane has never been fully established, but so far as krown, was first cultivat ed in the country from China to Ben gal, and did not reaoh the West from India until a later date. The art of boiling sugar was known in Oangetio India from which it was carried to China during the first half of the sev enth century, but sugar refining was not known, for the Chinese learned the use of ashes for this purpose only in Che Mongol period and from European visitors. Cane sugar was first analytic ally made practical in 1610 by Fra brizio Bartoli, who isolated the sugar of milk and proved its individuality. Not, however, until the 18th century did Marggraf make the important dis covery that the juices of beets, carrots, etc, were identical with one another and with sugar of cane. It is remark able how the trade centers of sugar have during the ages varied. Sugar refining was developed by the Arabian physicians. In the age of discovery the Spaniards became the producers of sugar cultivation, being planted by them in Maderia in 1420, carried to San Domingo in 1494, and thence into the West Indies and South America in the 16th century, and from the duties levied by Charles V, that monarch ob tained funds to build his palaces at Madrid and Toledo. In the Middle Ages, Venice was the great European center of the sugar trade and toward the end of the 15th century, it is re corded of a Venetian citizen being awarded 100,000 crowns for his inven tion of loaf sugar. The earliest reference to sugar in Great Britain is that of 100,000 pounds shipped to London in 1319 in ezohange for wool. At this same time the ac counts of the chamberlain of Scotland show the payment of 1 shilling 9 pence per pound for sugar, or about 47K cents per pound in United States money. Throughout Europe it con tinued to be quite a costly luxury, be ing used for medicinal purposes only, until increasing use of tea and ooffee, in the 18th century, brought it into as it is today the list of staple pro ducts. The first discovery of oommon sugar in beet root referred to above, was in 1747, by Sigmund Marggraf, but no practical use of his discovery was made until his pupil and succes sor, Frauz Carl Aohaed, in Silesia, in 1801. took up his sugar predecessor's work and established a beet-sugar fac tory. To show the phenomenal growth of this product, the consumption of su-far in Great Britain in 1700 was 10,000 tons; in 1800, upwards of 150, 000 tons, and in 1885, it had grown to over 1,250,000 tons. In Europe it is an industry of na tional importance, especially in Ger many, which nation controls an im mense output. The world's product a few years ago was about 1,750,000 tons, the greatest consumers of which are h Gothic and Teutonio stock, the Etiirli-th and their offshoots being the highest. The output in Europe of beet root a few years ago was 85,000,000 tons, and its product in sugar 1,811, 000 tons. Crops range from five tons of root per acre in Russia, to nine tons in Germany, while in England it has rien to twelve tons per acre. It takes about fourteen tons of root per ton of sugar generally in Europe, the propor tion of saccharine matter being 7 per cent now, to 4 per cent twenty years ago. Where So American Stand? Having given the above very brief synopsis of the history of sugar, let us now look for a moment at the posi tion of the United States in this indus try and the possible dangers constantly surrounding us, particularly on the Western coast, from importations from Chinese-made sugar, and realize the consequence of paying tribute to foreign labor, foreign capital and foreign ships in an article placed upon nearly every table in the land; from the banquet table of the rioh, to the lowly, humble, uncovered board, serving as table, in the lowliest cottage of its poorest in habitant, and deduce, if possible our remedy in the matter. It will be con ceded, we think, that the American workmen, as a whole, receive more pay than corresponding labor in any other country; are the most prosperous; have more money to obtain their desires, and consume more of the necessaries and luxuries of life, generally speaking, than those of any other nation, yet it is a singular fact that in the consumption of sugar they are behind the English 1 about 14 per cent, the proportion being about 781 pounds per capita in Great ; Britain, to 591 pounds per capita in the United States. For a long term the working classes have groaned under depressed times, continued taxation, and want of employment, and it is of Latest U. S. Gov't Report and to our own home people of the Pacific coast we desire to speak more directly, with all the sincerity words may impress. We have called upon our lawmakers to protect them from the notoriously cheap labor across the Paoifio, by the passage of the exclusion aot, yet every day we are aiders and abettors in sending money to that filthy, pestilential, disease-spreading race. Just think of this for one mo ment! During the years 1894-1895, the people of Oregon and Washington paid to foreign manufacturers and pro ducers in Hong Kong the enormous sum of $1,000,000 for Chinese sugar alone; this appalling figure, made up from the quarters, halves and dollars of the people, never to return. Just think of it! Could this amount have been retained among ourselves, what a wonderful factor those 1,000,000 hard earned dollars would have been during the many hard, hard months of econo mizing and pinching and starving through which we have just passed. If it were necessary that we should buy a a necessary staple like sugar abroad in order that we might sell our surplus of some other products, we might as well, perhaps, buy sugar as anythng else, but suoh is not the necessity. We can Bell our products at the world's price, which is our market with others, and what we do when we ex port If in return, however, for our products we receive back coin in pay ment we are just that much better off. The pernicious trade in Chinese sugars which has grown to large proportions on our Pacific coast, is deplorable to think of. Americans, free working men, supporting the labor of a race of people born in poverty, reared in squalor and living in pestilence and disease. Yon have but to walk through any city of any consequence, having a Chinese quarter, made to a certain ex tent wholesome by the sanitary laws of a better civilization surrounding them to realize the beggary, the stench, the nauseous handling of a moribund pop ulation whose labor exists upon the payment of 12 cents for a day's labor. We have seen how the Chinese live in our own midst, thousands of them hud dled and bunked together in dark, nar row rooms, void of ventilation, the foul stench of which makes the strongest heart grow siok, and draw our own conclusions, in buying Chinese sugar. A gentleman who came to Amerioa when the cholera and plague prevailed In the Orient, said "that every pack age of merchandise, and even silk, etc., should be fumigated thoroughly to eradicate the oholera germs lurking in that disease-stricken country. " These are not idle words, but the deep sounding words of warning from one knowing well the dangers to which we are subjected, from an eye-observer of the natives themselves, and the hor rors of the ghastly work of death among that myriad of fast-breeding, pestilential people. Suoh are the risks taken by every person buying Chinese made goods. Suoh the chances, unneces sary chances against the homes of our working people, and without cause other than the support of degraded, Ill- paid labor, as described. These facts are daily becoming better known to our own people. So muoh so that many stores now display the sign, "We handle the American Refined Sugars only," and it is a safe rule to follow, where no such announcement is made, to be sure yon are not getting China-made sugar is to ask the question or promptly transfer your custom. See that you are supplied with no other than the American-made article, made by American workmen, in American cleanly factories, operated by American capital, paying American wages, in good American coin and keeping that American money at home, not sending it abroad to support the Chinese nation. We have here in our own glorious state of Oregon and sister state of Washington as evidenced by the exposi tion of the Manufacturers' and Pro ducers' Association, one of the greatest fields for beets this or any other conn-, try can produce. In rejecting the coolie-made sugar, and buying only American-made goods, yon are encour aging and strengthening the hands of your neighbor farmer, and building np an industry in which you will your self share, and in time proudly realize the greatness of the soil upon which we live and which God has blessed with a special . providence as unsurpassed on the face of the globe. Nothing to Attract the Mob. There were more millions represented yesterday in the Stillman-Bockefeller wedding in New York than in the Van derbilt and Whitney nuptials combined, yet the young people most concerned, had fortunately neither divorce nor ti tles to attract the mob, and the ceremony passed off quietly and with no parade of police. It is not mere money, then, that we sightseers crave. There imst be a side show, a news paper notoriety worked up, before the "groat heart" of the public can be touched, and when it is, then call in po lice and spread out the bride's lingerie to the public gaze, Cholly Knicker bocker in New York Recorder. A Refusal With a String to It. Mr. Whitney has put forth a positive statement with regard to the Democratic nomination for the presidency. "I am not a candidate and have not been a candidate and must not be considered a candidate," says Mr. Whitney. Yet if the Democratic national convention should insist upon nominating him there is nothing in this declination to prevent the honor being forced anon him. and a very handsome and popular candidate he would make, notwithstanding his present refusal.

Copyright, 1891, by American Press Associa tion.! 'Sallie certainly did not iook so at tnat moment. There was something, not an gelically, but superhumanly attractive in her eyes and aspect. To see her now was to understand how some women rise to the highest points of social or politi cal eminence with nothing but them selves to help them themselves or the devil. Beauty, brains and utter tin scrupulousness in combination make a dangerous power, before which the strongest men have weakened. The count looked at Sallie, and as he did so he removed his gold rimmed eye glasses. This altered his appearance not a little. His eyes were powerful, and it seemed to Sallie that she had met their glance before somewhere but when or where she could not determine. The count looked at her keen, handsome face, at her white neck and arms, at her graceful figure in its golden hued dress; and he saw that she was fair. But, in stead of softening, his countenance grew stern. "You say yon are willing to make reparation for any harm that yon have doner' said he. . She nodded her head slightly, "Will you come back to the ballroom with me," he continued, "and tell the people there who you are and who you are notr "Why should I tell them what they already know?' "Do they know that yon were never married, either m France or elsewhere, to Harry Trent; that he refused, in spite of all your threats and entreaties, to make yon his wife; that after his death you caused a bundle of papers, among which was a will purporting to be bis, to be discovered in a drawer or a piece of furniture in a Philadelphia hotel? And will you tell them that this will was a forgery, copied from a genuine will written by Trent himself, but deeding his fortune, not to you, but to another woman, whom he designed to marry? For that woman's name yon substituted your own; and you yourself hid it in the room at the hotel which, as you hap pened to know, Trent had once occupied. Bv means of that will, and of the certificate of marriage, also a forgery, but written on a printed form which you had procured while traveling in France, you made good your claim to the estate. Will you tell them this?" "1 will repeat no such foolish tale, re plied Sallie steadily. "How could I have forged a copy of the genuine will unless I had had the genuine will to copy from? And how could I have become possessed of thatr "I will tell yon, since you have forgot ten," said the count. "You found the genuine will among Harry Trent's papers on the night that he was murdered." "Indeed! I was with him on that night, then, it appears?" "You were. You were the last to see him alfce. He was alive when you took the Japanese knife from the table and passed behind him and drove it into his heart. It was you who murdered Harry Trent, Mrs. Matchin!" She laughed. "You amuse me," she said. "You seem not to be aware that there was a trial for that murder, and the evidence showed that but one person was admitted to the house that night, and that was a man the man who was found guilty and condemned." "Yes, 1 Know the story," rejoined the count quietly. "But it was not told in i the evidence that when that man left the house, neglecting to latch the door behind him, another person, who had been hiding in the shadow of the porch, slipped in unseen and went np stairs to the library where Harry Trent sat. One of the witnesses, I think, testified that she had seen a short man with a dark beard speaking with Trent late that night." "That evidence was not believed. But suppose it were true, how would it affect me? I fear your imagination will get yon into trouble, Count de Lisle!" "Men's clothes are sometimes worn by women, and a false beard is easily come by," said he, with a slow, inquisitorial smile. "With means and a will one solves harder riddles than that in three years, Mrs. Matchin." "Take care, sir!" she exclaimed, her eyes flashing in her white face. "Yon are saying what yon can never prove! I can only suppose," she went on, con trolling her emotion by a desperate ef fort, "that yon have been made the vic tim of a cock-and-bull story by a man who is believed to be dead, but whom I now know to be alive Keppel Darke. He is here under your protection, and is lash enough to play ghostly pranks on what to guess. But he is an escaped convict Let him look to himself! I will de nounce him." "I give you full leave to do so," the count answered unconcernedly. "But I must tell yon that there is only one es caped convict in this house, and that is myself. Is it possible yon have not rec ognized me? I am Keppel Darke." Sallie stood motionless, many thoughts Whirling in her brain. "My claim to be Count de Lisle is also legitimate, however, as such things go," he wefit on. "But a woman like yon should have a better memory. It seems you have likewise forgotten your friend Alonzo Garcia, though yon must have known that he lived many years in In dia, and became an adept in . Indian magic. But the denunciation! Let me call an audience." He stepped to the door and pushed il open. - General Bristowe was passing, talking confidentially to Miss Fitz-Mur-ray, who was leaning on his arm.' From the distance came the throbbing of the music, playing a waltz. "Pardon me," said the count to the two, "here is a lady who has something to say to you." - "Oh, Mrs. Trent," said the general, coming forward, "are we to lose you! You're all right, I trust? That juggler was enough to scare anybody." "I only wanted to say I didn't mean to disturb you I was going to have a little tea at my house tomorrow after noon if you and you, too, Miss Fitz Murray" - They bowed and expressed their ac knowledgments. Sallie drew her )cloas round her, took the count's" arm and went out. PAET FOUR-LOVE. CHAPTER XIV. THREE ON ONE SIDE. He held out his hand as he spoke. Tom rose and stuck his own into it Thomas H. Bannick, Esq., no longei occupied the small office room on the top floor of a down town caravansary, He now did business in a very handsome suit of rooms in a new building on Wall street, and the cynical office boy had been multiplied into half a dozen grave and gentlemanly clerks, each one more imposing than the last. In the inner sanctum, remote from the noise of the street. Mr. Bannick sat. He was still the same good hearted, clever, hu morous being that he was before fortune found him out, for even prosperity can not spoil such men, but be made an effort to keep this fact a secret from all but his best friends, and there were peo ple who fancied he was rather a severe and formidable personage. He had plenty to do. Keeping Count de Lisle's estate in order was no small undertak ing, but the count could not have chosen a better man, and Tom had now got everything in good running order. The count for we will allow him still to wear a disguise which has from the first been transparent to the reader, though not to persons less well informed Count de Lisle, otherwise Keppel Darke, called at Bannick's office a day or two after the events last narrated, accompanied by Mr. Alonzo Garcia, whom we last saw in the role of a Hin doo magician. They were at once con ducted to the interior retreat, and orders were issued that no callers be admitted. It may here be observed that Bannick had been made a participant in the count's secret for obvious reasons, and Garcia also, for reasons perhaps not so obvious. Further than these two and Sallie Matchin the secret had not gone. "Is she all right?" was the count s first question after the door was closed. "As well as ever she was in her life," Tom replied. "Does she seem to have any recollec tion of the affair?" "Not the least in the world! Upon my word 'tis a wonderful thing this hypno tizing business! I don't understand it at all, and I don't believe any one else does not Garcia, here, himself. "You both understand," interrupted the count, "that there is never to be a repetition of the experiment, and hence forth it had best be a blank in our mem ories, as it ia in hers. It has answered its purpose. Sallie Matchin is now con vinced that it lies in my power to destroy her whenever I see fit, and yet all legal process has been avoided. "But don't you mean to proceed against her?" inquired Bannick. "Haven't you the evidence?" - "Some evidence and plenty of moral certainty. Garcia could prove the for gery and the fraud as to the finding of the will, for in order to get his assistance sue was oDugea to rnaue admissions which, coupled with other known facts, amount to proof. As to the murder the evidence is of course circumstantial. No one saw her strike the blow, but w : know that she several times was dressed ! in man's clothes, that she was present, so disguised, in Trent's house that night, ana tnat tne papers in her possession could only have been taken on that night from the safe in his library. The j net is strong enough no doubt. But it is enough for my present purpose that sne Knows sne stands in deadly peril. To bring her to trial and have her sen- , tenced would be a relief to her. I wish to punish her myself. She did what she eonld to get an innocent man hanged in her stead. I will keep the same rope dangling over.her head till she is ready , to draw the noose herself. There is no I law to punish adequately a criminal like I her." i "I can understand her putting a knife into Mr. Trent," observed Garcia. "He had given her the best of reasons to ; think that she ought to be his wife, and, having finished him, the manufacture of ' the marriage certificate and of the will .followed as a matter of course.

A LIVING SHADOW REMARKABLE TRANSFORMATION OF A NORTH CAROLINA MAN. Strange, But True, Story From the Lumber Regions of a Southern State Verified by a Reporter of the Greenville Reflector. The following interview has just been given our reporter by Mr. G. A. Baker, the overseer at the farm of Colo nel Isaac A. Sugg, of Greenville, N. C. It will interest anyone who has ever had typhoid fever. Mr. Baker said in part: "I was living in Beaufort county, and on the 2d day of October, 1893, I was stricken down with typhoid fever. I bad the best physicians to at tend me and on the 15th day of Janu ary, 1894, I was allowed to get np. I was emaciated, weak and had no appe tite. I could only drag along for a short distanoe and would be compelled to sit down and rest. This continued for some time, and I began to give up hope of ever getting well. I lost my position in Beaufort county, and, hav ing secured one in Pitt county, clerk ing in a store, I undertook it, but was so weak I could not do the work and had to give it up. The disease settled in my knees, legs and feet. I was tak ing first one kind of medicine and then another, but nothing did me any good. I was mighty low-spirited. I moved out to Colonel Sugg's about four or five months ago and commenced taking Dr. Williams' Pills. I took three a day for about three months. I began to regain my appetite in a week's time, and then my weakness began to disap pear, and hope sprung np with a bless edness that is beyond all telling. At the expiration of the three months I was entirely cured and could take my axe and go in the woods and do as good a day s work as any man. 1 was troubled with dyspepsia and that has disappeared. It is also a splendid tonio for weak people. . I say, Mr. Editor, God bless Dr. Williams; may he live for a long time; I know he will go np yonder to reap his reward for he has done a wonderful lot of good. Tell everybody that asks you about Dr, Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People that if they will come to me I oan always satisfy them as to their merits. I always carry a box of pills with me and when ever I feel bad I take one. We are forcibly struck with the earnestness of Mr. Baker and his state ments may be relied on. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' danoe, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nerv ous headache, the after effects of la grippe, palplitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female, and all diseases resulting from vitiated hu mors in the blood. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price, (50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50) by addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Sohe- nectady, N. Y.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CUBED By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that ia by constitutional remedies. Deafness ia caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its nor mal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flammed condition of the mucous surfaces.

If there is any truth in the saying that happiness is the absence of all pain, men tal and physical, the enjoyment of it can only be fouad in heaven. But so far as the Dhvsical is concerned, it is within easy reach; at least measurably so, as far as cure will go. The sum of human misery in tnis line is maae up oi greater or less de grees of physical suffering. The minor aches and pains which afflict mankind are easy to reach and as easily cured. There are none in the whole category, which, if taken in time, cannot be cured. They must in some form afflict the nerves, the bones, the muscles and joints of the human body. They are all more or less hurtful and wasteful to the system. St. Jacobs Oil is made to cure them, to search out hidden pain spots, and to cure prompt ly in a true remedial ana lasting way. Very, very many have not known happi ness for years till they used it, and very many are patting off cure and happiness because they don't use it.
