THE SINISTER HAND
OF A TRUST
Secretary Redfield issued a state
ment last week connecting the Ha
waiian sugar growers with the
Panama canal tolls fight. Hit
statement followed a recent trip tc
the Pacific coa*t, and investiga
tions by Hie bureau of foreign ant1
domestic commerce.
"The question as to who shall be
the largest shippers through the
canal," the secretary said, "has
perhaps incidental interest in con
nection with the discussion concern
ing Panama canal tolls. If it is
assumed that the carriers will, as
they say, distribute the charget
over the freight tonnage carriec
the question as to which kind oi
freight might have to assume thi
burden has some interest. Possible
therefore, the answers to certain
questions may throw light upon the
situation.
"Who are at prebent the largest
shippers over the isthmus of Te
huantepec? The sugar growers oi
Hawaii. To whom are their ship
ments made? To the sugar refiner
ies in and about New York and
Philadelphia. Do these shipments
amount to a great deal? In the
last fiscal year they were 528,000,
000 pounds oi 264,000 net tons.
."In the present method of ship
ment over the isthmus of Tehauu
tepec are there two trans-shipments
of freight ? one on the west coasi
of Mexico, another on the east
coast ? and a railroad charge be
tween? There are, and the through
rate from Hawaii to New York
must include cost of such transfer
ence and freight charge.
"Would not the eppning of the
canal do away with the two trans
fers and the railway charge? It
would, and doubtless the sugar
growers would be benefited there
by and properly so.
"In view of their serious com
plaints as to the effect of the plac
ing of sugai on the free list in th<
near future, is it not normal that
the Bugar growers should exert
every means in their power to re*
duce the cost of transporting theii
product to the market? That woulf
undoubtedly be go^d business."

The Winner. .
A benevolent old lady in one of the
streets which still retain the red
brick houses of old-time New York
looked out of her parlor window one
day and saw a man walking up and
down the sidewalk, apparently in great
dejection. There was something pa
thetic and appealing in his manner;
so she took a dollar bill, put it in an
envelope and wrote on the envelope,
"Never say die."
She slipped out of the house in the
most casual manner she could assume
and handed the envelope to the man
as she passed him.
Next day the same melancholy man
called at her house and presented her
with ten dollars.
"It's funny," he said, "you're the
only one that backed that horse called
'Never Say Die.'"
Character of Burns.
Scotland's darling, and the darling
of a mighty multitude who are not or
Scotland, was impulsive and did many
things that he ought not to hate done;
but at heart the author of the "Cot
ter's Saturday Night" was brave, hon
orable, generous, and, in the main,
manly as it is possible for a man to
be. Burns bad his faults, but they
were not the faults of a "bad man."?

Although beet sugar is less ex

not be satisfactory. Chemical analysis
reveals the composition of the two to
be the same with" a slight difference
in the arrangement of the molecules.

Dyes From Sawdust.
For many years the French have ex
tracted coloring dyes from sawdust. .
The sawdust, it appears, is acted upon
by sulphur and caustic soda in a fur
nace. Sulphuretted hydrogen is lib
erated in large quantities and the veg
etable substance, whatever it may be,
is rendered Boluble in water, to which
it imparts a strong color, varying
with the substance employed- These
solutions are employed as dyes, which
are fixed by passing the fabric through
boiling bichromate of potash.
