NEW INDUSTRIES IN THE WEST.
Remarkable Progress in the Beet
Sugar Industry.
From the Yew York Sun.
Melville D. Laudon (Eli Perkins), having
just returned from Dakota. Nebraska and
Minnesota, was asked if there were any
new industries being established in the
west on account of the new tariff.
“Yes," he said, “there are three great
western industries being established which
will keep $50,000,000 in this country every
year.” J
“What are they?"
“First, the Grand Island, Nebraska, beet
sugar industry is a wonderful success. They
are now turning out there 800 barre s of
pure white beet sugar a day. The plant
cost $500,000, and was purchased in Ger
many. The farmers all made money last
summer raising beets in the Platte valley,
aud next year inilliors of acres in that val
ley and in the Jim River valley, Dakota,
will go into the beet sugar industry. They
are putting up other bee: sugar factories in
Lincoln and Norfolk, Nebraska, Sioux City,
lowa, and in Aberdeen, Dakota. I believe
the Platte and Jim River valleys will sup
ply all the white sugar the country will
want in less than five years. Germany is
making her own sugar, and the percentage
of sugar in her beets is 5 per cent, less than
in the Nebraska beets.”
“And the next industry*”
“It is the new impetus given by the tariff
to flax raising and manufacturing. We
have always thrown away our fltx fiber.
Now Minnesota capital and Glasgow skill
are building a large flax factory ill Minne
apolis. Two small flax facto, ies for mak
ing towels, sheets and table clo hsaro being
operated ill Northern lowa. Thousands of
farmers are putting wheat lands into flax,
and linen making is becoming an American
industry. We have been spending 820,000,-
000 annually in Ireland, France aud Ger
many for linen and throwing our flax
away after making linseed oil out of the
seed. Now the tar iff on oil and linen makes
the industry profitable here.”
“ H hat about wool in the northwest?”
“The whore country from Bismarck to
Mendou is going into it. Millions of acres
of wheat laud will go into sheep this year.
On the train coming down from Fa'go were
luO horses which never did anything but
work in the wheat fields. They were going
to Ohio to be changed for sheep—South
Downs—good for food and wooL”
“What will be the result of all this?”
“Why, we will not have this surplus of
70,000,000 bushels of wheat to sell in Eng
land at a dollar a bushel. Within two years
we will ent up all our surplus wheat, and
then it will go to a dollar a bushel in Da
kota, a price that it is worth for food, and
the American farmer will be on top again.
Good times are coming for the farmer. I
can see it. Land is stiffening up all over
the west. Farms are going out of the
market. The tariff of 20 cents a bushel
will keep back 10,000,000 bushels of Mani
toba wheat made on cheap dollar-an-acre
land and make it go out by Quebec.”
“But there is more public land?”
“No, not wheat land nor corn land. It is
about all taken. What is left is beyond the
rain belt. Tho farmer has been for fifteen
years the under dog in tbe fight. Now ho
is coming to the front. He begins to feel
rich already. The tide has turned. Farm
ing is paying better and belter every day.
It has been this 70,000,000 surplus bushels of
wheat, which had to go to sixty cents in
Dakota before it could displace the cheap
India wheat in England, which has kept
the farmer poor.
“Besides this,” continued Mr. Landon,
"thousands of new industries are springing
up to employ more labor—plush factories at
Catasaugua aud in other towns in Pennsyl
vania, plate glass factories in Butter and all
over the natural gas regions, silk factories
at Honesdale and Scranton, and more pot
teries in Trenton aud East Liverpool. These
laborers will be well paid and they will eat
more flour and meat than idle men. I say,
give this abused and misunderstood tariff a
trial!”
HUGO’S AMERICAN FRIENDS.
The French Poet’s Treatment o? Vis
itors P rom Across the Atlantic.
Lucy Hooper, in the Home Journal.
I am afraid that the grand old man must
have been a good deal bothered at times by
my country people. I remember once how
a strong-minded American female insisted
on addressing him in a long set speech in
English, of which he understood not oue
word. At the conclusion of her harangue,
to which Hug > listened with oak-like sturdi
ness aud imperturbability, she produced a
large laurel wreath, which she attempted
to place upon his brow. He dodged it clev
erly, receiving it instead upon his out
scotched arm, where te suffered it to
remain till tho lady had taken her depart
ure.
On another occasion a very pretty Ameri
can student of vocalization cams to warble
for his delectation a number of songs to the
accompaniment of the guitar. Now, like a
good many other great men, including Na
poleon I, Geo. Grant, and the Duke of Wel
lington, Victor Hugo bail a positive dis
tate for music, so he looked at his visitor’s
pretty face instead of listening to her song,
which was in truth hardly worth listening
to, as her voice was weak and shrill, and
had evidently been ill-trained. But he bore
all these little contretemps with unfailing
patience and good nature, looking upon
them probably as inevitable elements in the
universal homage that was laid at his feet.
That homage he enjoyed with unfeigned
heartiness.
Often as I saw him I never heard from
his lips a single word of blame f r the
United States on account of the lack of a
copyright law. Yet. iu the absence of that
law’his loss on “Les Miserables” alone must
have amounted to thousands of dollars.
He seemed to look upon the extension of
his fame over the western continent and
amongst a nation speaking an alien tongue
as asutSciant compensation for any pecuni
ary drawbacks. He drew the mantle of his
glorv so closely around him that his purse
and his pocket were hidden beneath its
folds.
Asa rule, however, his American visitors
was very sympathetic to him, though he
once greatly amazed a Boston literary man
who mentioned Emerson to him by asking:
‘Who was Emerson?’ It ri now a generally
known fact also that be refused to receive
Gen. Grant when our famous ex-President
visited Paris, on the ground that the gen
eral had sent congratulations to the Em
peror of Germany on the success of the
h ranco-Prussian war. That incident was
not made public at the time that
it occurred, but the late Gea.
Noyes, at that time United States minister
to Paris, spoke of it several times to
me and deplored the state of feeling that it
evinced. 1 have been told that the message
of congratulation in question was for warded
to the German Emperor by President Grant
through the influence of a prominent west
ern politician, who at that time expected to
be minister to Berlin. But after all it was
merely a form, such as every ruler must go
through with when any event of import
ance happens to one of his or her colleagues,
such as the birth of an heir, the marriage
of one of the members of the family, an ac
cess of territory, etc.
Mrs. J. W. Mackay was acc rded a long
interview by Victor Hugo a lew years oe
fore his death. As she speaks French to
perfection, the conversation was animated,
and the bouuty and vivacity and intelli
gence of our fair countrywoman made a
deep impression on the venerable poet. He
told me of tbe lady’s visit the next time
that I called, and added thoughtfully:
“They tell me that Mrs. Mackay bos a sen
who resembles her greatly, I should like to
live long enough to arrange a marriage be
tween mv granddaughter Jeaoue and that
young gentleman.” But both the Voung
people were then mero children, and Victor
lingo died long botore his adored Joanne
boil attained a marriageable age. That
would have boon an international match
w orth achieving.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2(>, 1890.
HER FIPTY-DOLLAB BILL.
Reminder of Her ekl’.l as a Waiter in
a Society Girl’s Room.
FYoiii the .Yen? Fort Times.
In the pretty morning room of a certain
young ladv in this city there hangs on the
wall a SSO dollar bill, framed first by a
wide gray mat and edged with a narrow
rim of scarlet plush picked out in gold.
Thereby hangs a tale. One of the Easter
weddings last spring was that of the young
woman’s sister. She married a civil en
gineer, who s raightaway, alter the man
ner of civil engineers, rusbed off to Arizona
to survey a copper min® about to be, or
already opened, in that distant territory.
His bride accompanied him, and the sister
was induced to go also for purpose*, as she
put it, if “travel, exploration and advent
ure.”
Things were not altogether bad out
among the Indians; the mine was on the
line of a railroad; they had carried with
th m a good many nome belongings; a
house was secured, such as it was, and a
more i r less pro;>er establishment set up.
The summer and the sister’s stay were
nearly at an end, when one afternoon Mr.
Tom, the husband and brother-in-law, sent
word from the works that the English mem
ber of the firm which was developing the
mine had arrived suddenly for a fewihours’
stay, aud ha would Dring him up to dinner.
This announcement created some consterna
tion. The cook was a half-breed who was
excellent within his limits, but he knew
nothing oven of the tudiments of buttering.
Asa matter of fact, tbo family was accus
tomed to dine en buffet. This, freely trans
-1 ited, meant frequent trips on the part of
one diner or another to the chest at the side
of the room, which by courtesy was called
a sideboard.
"But an Englishman, you know, Nell,”
said Mrs. Tom, plaintively, "expects at din
ner to be served if he takes that meal in an
Indian juugle. With our canned soup and
lobster and the superb joint which Nelson
can get up we can offer a most presentable
menu, but what shall we do for someone to
change the plates?”
Mi-s Nell immediately begged to take the
role for a single appearance. "It will be no
end of fuu,” she urged, “and I warrant
neither you nor Tom nor the Englishman
has ever been served as I shall serve you
to-night. I’ve always contended it took a
high degree of intelligence to create a per
fect butler or butleress,” she added with a
laugh, "and I’dimmersely like toshow what
culture can do with a dinner tray."
In the end, though with many misgivings
on Mrs. Tom’s pa; t, the plan was arranged.
A note was dispatched to Mr. t Tom warn
ing him not to mention iiis sister-in-law in
any way—that all would be explained later.
It was a few moments after their guest had
been welcomed that a capped and aproned
figure appeared in the doorway announcing
quietly, "Dinner is served.’' Whatever
Mr. Tom may have thought or felt, he could
not express—could do nothing indeed but
follow his wife as the Englishman handed
her out. Everything went beautifully in
the dining-room. From soup to cheese
the serving was irreproachable. The
guest, a genial, companionable man
of perhaps 50, was visibly affected
by the skill and general elegance of the
waitress, and Mrs. Tom caught several
searching glances thrown upon her maid.
Nothing was said, however, till the close of
the dinner, when, the coffee having been
plac id upon the table, the deft and demure
handmaiden withdrew. Then the English
man voiced his surprise that Mrs. Tom
could keep in this out-of-the way place such
a thoroughly trained aud capable maid,
whereupon Mrs. Tom, knowing that her
sister could retire no further thau the
screen in the corner of the room which con
cealed an emergency butler’s pantry,
evolved for her benefit a delightful little
history.
__ J *
‘•Yes,” she bazjnn slowly, sippiDg her cof
fee. “Ellen is quite a superior young person.
As you have noticed, she is intelligent and
refined much beyond her station; really
very well educated, too. And she is the
heroine of a very pretty little romance.'’
At this juncture a slighr, rattling of gl isi
ware behind the screen warned Mrs. Tom
that her story was taking effect, and with
a gleam of mischief, at which her husband
could have groaned aloud, she proceeded:
“She is ongaged to be married to a very
estimable young man in New York [the
sister, by the way, is a fiancee], the wed
ding day was set over a year ago, whan six
weeks be foie the date arrived tbe coming
groom was stricken blind in an hour. He
has been under treatment ever since, slowly
regaining his sight, a id she, poor girl, is
saving every penny of her wages against
the time when he must leave the hospital. I
think she mams to marry him as soon as
possible and support him until he can get
work again. It is quite pathetic and inter
esting—her devotion.”
But Mr. Tom could not stand the strain
no longer and proposed to return to the
parlor. The Englishman, however, did not
drop the subject at once, asking a number
of questions aoout Ellen and “comoany.”
He left, as was expected, soon after dinner,
and Miss Nell was free to pour the vials of
her wrath upon her wlo.eil sister’s head, an
occupation in widen she was ably seconded
by Mr. Tom when he returned from putting
their recent guest aboa and his train.
The end, however, was not yet. Within
a fortnight Mrs. Tom received a note from
the Englishmen, dated at New York, in
which he said that he bad been much im
pressed with the loyalty and devotion of her
maid, Ellen, who was undoubtedly a most
wortny young person, and he went on to
beg Mrs. Tom to find some way to bestow
the inclosed—a 550 bill—upon her to aid in
her courageous and praiseworthy effort.
Thus retribution came to Airs. Tom. She
was overcome at what she had done, and
there was no comfortable way out of it. It
was impossible to explain to the English
man how he nad been deceived. Nor could
the bill he plausibly returned on the part of
ElleD. There seemed nothing to do but to
keep it and thank tbe donor, which Mrs.
Tom accomplished, It must be confossei,
with much less than her usual grace. The
bill bangs on the wall of “Ellen’s” room
to-day—a double warning against theatri
cals in private life and the utterances which
have no foundation in fact.
SHOT THROUGH THE WORLD.
A Fire-eater Who Fought Eight Duels
and Killed Thirteen Men.
From the San Francisco Alta.
Monday a dispatch w r as received from
the City of Mexico stating that the night
before Edward Boulingny of New Orleans
fatally shot his bookkeeper by accident.
The police were trying to arrest him and in
so doing opened fire on the American. Tho
latter returned the Are, but unfortunately
hit his employe. The trouble was the out
growth of the payment of wages in
Boulingny’k printing office, which is a
brauch of B mlingny & Bros, of Philadel
phia. The general opinion in Mexico is
is that Boulingny is in the right in the
shooting affray, but nevertheless lie was ar
rested.
“That follow is a perfect fire-eater. In
fact, this is, I beleave, the thirteenth man
he has killed, and 1 don’t know how many
he has hurt with his pistol,” remarked
Charlie Reynolds, a clerk in the office of
the chief of police, yesterday to an Alta re
porter, when he read the dispatch.
“You see, I lived in Mexico several years
ago, and we became very warm friends,
and I learned something of his life.” Mr.
Reynolds gavo the following reminiscences
of tho young southerner, who has actually
shot his way through life. He is now
only 15S years old, and was _ born
in New Orleans aud is of French
and American parentage. He first
came Into prominence during the recon
struction period after the late civil war At
that time one of his friends was placed 1 1
jail b / the Federal authorities. He aud
several young friends resolved to storm tha
jail and liberate their friands. The result
was disastrous, tor several were killed au l
wounded by tbe rkh:g fire from a Gutting
gun that those ui the jail opeued on the be
aggers. Boulingny was among tbe w mad and,
having been bit by a bullet to tha
leg. He participated in several such
affairs and made many political enemies.
Ou one occasion one of tbe rival faction
vowed to kill him. Boulingnv and his wife
were in the New Orleans Opera house when
this man put in an appearance. Boulingny
was w arned by a friend. "Well. 1 will be
out when the opera is oyer,” coolly re
marked Boulingny. “Sliall Igo out with
you or wait till it' is over*” asked his wife.
"Come ateng. If the shooting becomes gen
eral drop to the floor,” was his reply. After
the opera ha walked out with his wife
on his arm. Over his left arm was bis
overcoat, in the folds of which he held his
big revolver.
“Are you Ed Boulingny?" asked tbe
blood-thirsty inaa, approaching the couple
with his haudou his hip pocket.
“That’s my name"—Bang t The reply
and the | istoi snot camo from Boulingny,
and the man roiled over in the foyer mor
tally wounded. He died an hour later.
One of the dead man’s friend- sent Bou
lingny a challenge to tight a duel. It was
accepted, and tne inau bit tbe dust the
next afternoon with a bullet in his neck.
Boulingny’s second was also challenged on
account of the same trouble, and half an
hour later the challenger was killed.
Boulmgny is a man of remarkable cool
ness. He is very near-sighted, and from
early youth has worn powerful maguifyiug
gla-ses.
Some years ago he assisted the police of
New Orleans in unearthing the Italian La
Mafia society. So vigorously did he pur
sue them that the Italians resolved to kill
him. However, they did not dare to opeuly
attack him. One night, as ho was emerg
ing from a saloon, one of the fellows
slapped him in the* face, knocking his
glasses off. rendering him blind.
Quick as thought he drew his pistol
and shot his assailant, whom he could hear
breathing near him. All this time sir or
eight Italians across the street were sending
a perfect fusillade of bullets at him. It was
a perilous place to bo iu, but lie did not lose
his presence of mind. Coolly placing his
pistol in his pocket he gotdosvnou his hands
and knees aud groped over the sidewalk un
til ho found his spectacles. He pui them on
and opened fire on his assailants. The fight
lasted fully ten minutes, and he loaded his
pistol several times with cartridges as ho
followed the retreating crowd of Italians.
He was wounded twice, but succeeded in
killing three and wounding five of his as
sailants.
One time while in El Paso, Tex., one of
Boulingny’s friends beerne sick, and he hired
a big negro to nurse him. The negro stole
S2OO from the sick man and fled. A day or
two latter Boulingny saw the fellow on the
street and reproached him for his perfidy.
The negro became angry and tried to brain
Boulingny with a cobblestone. Boulingny
sent a bmDt crashing through the negro’s
thick pate and thus saved his own.
Further illustrating his coolness, the fol
lowing story is told; One day a desperado
“got the drop" on Boulingny, aud stood
with a huge pistol leveled at his breast.
Boulingny smiled and said: “Why, sir,
you could whip me; you could wipe up the
street with me.” lie illustrated with his
arms bo.v the man could do the sweep act.
Quick as a flash Bouliuguy’s hand swept
under his coat aQd in a flash bis pistol was
out, and a loud report followed. The des
perado foil paralyzed with a bullet through
the lungs. He rallied, but a second shot
kilted him.
These are but few of tho many affrays
that the man has participated in. In the
last twenty years Boulingny has fought no
less than eight duels, iu whicii he killed four
men. Tho others he wounded. Asa pistol
shot he is quick, cool and unerring in his
aim, there being few who are his equal aud
none his superior on this continent. He is
sadly handicapped by his poor eyesight.
Some six years ago be moved to the Oily of
Mexico, where he has had several shooting
affrays, but ho has come off victorious
every time. Boulingny is a man of medium
higbt, of dark complexion, and hai dark,
piercing eyes. In manner he is unobtru
sive, aud no one on meeting him would ever
suspect that he is held in awe and terror by
the wildest and most leekless men of the
American fro tier and Mexican capital.
ANECDOTES OF THE OOMPOTERS.
Emphatic Handel—Cynical Haydn—
folngde-minded Mozart Methodical
Cherubini.
From the Few York Nan.
Hero ate a few fresh anecdotes concerning
the wit, humor and eccentricity of the old
composers on tho continent.
Georg Friedrich Handel directed for some
time the opera in London. He led on the
harp. One evening, just ns the orchestra
was finishing tho overturn, an attendant
told him that the prima clontia. Signora
Cuzzoui, had sent down word from her
drawing room that she was too ill to sing.
Handel knew that her action was mero
caprice. In a passion he let fall his harp,
sprang up to her room, burst open her door,
and seizing tho songstress, dragged her to
ward a window.
“I know you are a she devil,” he shouted,
“but X will compel you to behave yourself.
If you don’t go directly to the stage and
sing, you will bo lying out there on the
pavement in five nunutos.”
This argument was too much for the
prima donna. She hurried down stairs and
sang like a nightingale.
Handel played tho harp so beautifully
that his accompaniment often attracted
more attention from the audience than the
singing. A jealous Italian tenor after a
humiliating experience or two. with a thus
distracted house, swore that the next time
Handel tried to monopolizi the applause he
would jump down from tho stage and
smash the harp.
“Do It, do it,” said Handel to the tenor,
after having heard of the remark. “Only
let me know beforehand when you will do
it, for, by proper advertising, tnis perform
ance may ne made much more pouplar and
prolita ie than your singing.”
Joseph Haydn long lived ,away from his
wife. One day a friend directed his atten
tion to a bundle of unopened letter i ad
dressed to him and lying on his study table.
“An, you must not notice them. I
don’t. They are from mv wife. Hbe sends
me the odious things ouce a month and 1
aus aer them once a month without having
read the addresses. She does the same by
my letters te her.”
A young musician askod Mozart what to
do in beginning to compose music.
"Do nothing,” was tho answer.
“But you dil comaosi ion when much
younger than I.”
“Certainly; but I asked no questions. If
a man has :uj soul lor it, he is shaken and
tortured by it. He is forced to do it, and
asks not how or why.”
Mozart was tbe most absent-minded of
men. W hile ho was busy with the compo
sition of “Don Juan - ’ ho made a trip to
Baris. He took chambers and sat down im
mediately to work. After several hours he
looked at the clock to find it long post din
ner time. He clapped on his hat with all
haste, and half ran, half trotted to the
Palais Royal Just as he stepped on the
threshold anew idea budded in his rniud.
He walked in hesitatingly and abstractedly,
sat down mechanically, and glanced
thoughtlessly at the menu.
“A portion of vermicelli soup,” he mut
tered.
The soup was brought, but the composer
did not stir. Five minutes, ten minutes—
a quarter of an hour passed, anil the soup
sraw5 raw cold while the music of "Don
uan" took form in M zart’j mind. Finally
the waiter removed tbe soup and hiked
what next.
“Fried sole,” was Mozart’s answer.
Tbe soup was carried off untouched, and
shortly the solo was placed before him.
Mozart remained still completely absorbed
iu the thoughts of the comnositi iu. Six
dishes were served consecutively with inter
vals of fifteen or twenty miuutcs, and ail
were carried away uelasted aud appar
ently unseen.
Two hours after his entrance into Palau
Royal a small cup of blocs coffee was on
toe table before him. lie raised his hand
as if to take it, thru suddenly bit dosed fist
fed on tbe OSUcer, breaking it to flinders,
and sending the uolfeo iu eveiy direction.
“At las.l have it!” he shouted, os be
sprang froth the chair.
Before his untasted dinner he had com
posed the finale of the third act of "Doa
Juan.”
Luigi Cherubini, the creator of “The
Water Carrier," and an ardent admirer of
Mozart, was his antipode in tbe method of
his daily life. He could endure no per
fumery, and usually left a room whenever
a scented handkerchief was drawn from a
woman’s pocket. He was exceedingly
jwrinscaking in every detail of life. Every
thing with him was carefully regulated.
The smallest bit of his wardrobe and toilet
articles was numbered. Ii his most pros
perous seasons his overcoat, the crowning
piece of his wardrobe, would bear tbe num
ber 4490 r 450. Iu less prosperous limes,
h wever, the number might fall as low as
228 or 239. On the morning of the day on
which he died he called to his nurse for a
IHicket handkerchief. She brought it. He
unfolded it carefully, lo iked at oue corner
aud read there “No. 8.”
“This won’t do," he said. “Everything
mast be done in order, aid here I have
handkerchief No. 8 while the last one I used
was No. 0."
“Yes, I know," answered the nurse; "but
a drop of cologne fell on No. 7, and I knew
you could not eudurc the odor of it,”
"That makes no difference," said Cheru
bini. “Everyuhiug must be done in order.
Bring iu No. 7.”
The handkerchief wag brought, and
Cherubini, after making a terrible face on
account of the odor from the cologne,
rubbed it across his nose with mutterlngs of
disgust. Then ho threw it ou the floor and
said:
"Now give me No. 8.”
No. S was tho last handkerchief that the
composer over used.
One winter afternoon 9 caller on Cheru
bini was surprised to find him in an un
heatei room in company with three full
bearded men, who hud their feet 111 tub* of
ice water.
"In the name of heaven, what are you
doing here?" asked his friend.
“To-morrow wo stall give anew mass,"
answered Cherubiui, “anil 1 need a couple
very heavy basses. Noue of tho men hero
has a voice heavy enough, and so I am try
ing to deepen their notes a little."
ENTOMBED ALIVK.
Struggles of the Supposed Corpse
t plit the Coffin.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Denver, Dec. 17. —A man named Lowe
was buried the other day In Riverside cem
etery. For some unexplained reason the
horses attached to the hearse proved stub
born, and the driver could not even coax
them into a funorai march. About the
rtffle time Henry Stock, who drove a livery
horse, had trouble, and both teams had to
be changed.
Arriving at the [cemetery the body was
lowered into the grave with ceremonies pre
scribed by the Hod Men’s Order. A bird is
set free as the earth rattles on the coffin; a
symbol of the Hightof tbe soul to the realms
of tho hereafter, but the dove fluttered
from its cage and alighted at the foot of
the grave. It would not take wing uniil
frightened away by tho grave diggers.
Gossips talked and it was decided to ox
humo the body. The work was doue, and
it was discovered, as soon as the lid of the
coffin box was raised, that the casket itself
was split and the gloss in the cover broken,
as if the dead had come to life. The coffin lid
was raised and the full horror burst upon
the spectators.
His body lay in a position unlike a peace
ful oue. The arms were boat and the bauds
so tlghtlv clinched that the finger nails hail
boar, in k into the flesh. The face of the
dead was distorted from tho awful struggle
through which tho man had passed, and the
cheeks showed that iu his frenzy the man,
entombed alive, had used his nails with ter
rible effect.
