enough to put the
blame of what follows on Mrs. Orum¬
plehorn. That dodge of husbauds lay¬
ing their sins at their wives’ doors be¬
gan at a very early stage of the world’s
history, and small good it did the man
that tried it first.
We had hardly come into posses¬
sion of our fortune—certainly hadn’t
began to feel at home in it—when the
season at Saratoga opened, and Mrs.
Orumplehorn said we mast go there,
as everybody that was anybody did;
that it was expeoted of us—by whom,
I don’t remember that she stated; in
short, that there was “no getting out
of it.” I really didn’t see that there
was, and so we went.
We found a crowd of people there,
none of whom we knew. You can’t
think how nnsooiable they were.
Why, when Mrs. Orumplehorn, juBt
to be civil, asked a lady where she had
bought the staff in her dreae, and how
mnoh it had oost a yard, she received 1
for answer suoh a stare as made the
eold chills ran over her, and, to nse
her own expression, “came near giv¬
ing her a turn.”
“Hops" to people that don’t dance,
games to people that oan’t play them,
and jostling people one doesn’t know,
are very tiresome modes of killing
time. In two days I had enough of
it, and Mrs. Orumplehorn expressed
herself satisfied in three.
We had jnst concluded to set fash¬
ionable opinion at defiance, and go
home and take things comfortable,
when, aa look wonld have it, we made
the aoqnaintanoe of General and Mrs.
Wydeswarth; and so agreable did it
prove, that onr purpose of speedy de¬
parture was at onoe reoonsidered, and
promptly dismissed.
Daring oar stey, whioh was pro

acceptance of a magnificent breastpin,
which had somehow escaped the vigil

have declined the gift, could she have
done so without wounding her friend’s
feelings; but it was manifest she
couldn’t, so she took it.
Just then the General put a letter
in his wife’s hand.
“How provoking I” the latter ex¬
claimed when she had read it.
“What! my life?”
“Why. that Fannie Fitz Blodgitt
should, just at this time; take it into
her head to get married and insist on
my being present, in fulfillment of a
promise we made each other at school.”
“It is a little inconvenient," said
the General, gravely. I give

time—“my jewels are at yonr service.
They are very plain, no doubt, in com¬
parison with those yon have been ac¬
customed to wear; but such as they
are, you’re welcome to their use.”
“My dear—” but Mrs. W.’s feelings
were too many for her.
The situation was

He grasped my hand, and pocketed
the money.
Mrs. Wydeswath packed up her
things, Polly’s diamonds inolnded,
commended her husband to onr care,
promised to be baok in a week, and
was waiting for the oarriage in whioh
we were all to ride to the station to¬
gether, when her husband came in,
looking a good deal .oonoerned.
He too had received a letter, sum¬
moning him away on important busi¬
ness. It was necessary he shonld leave
at onoe—by the same train with his
wife, in fact.
Loath as we were to part with both
onr friends at once, it was, after all,
gratifying to think that Mrs. W.would
be saved the annoyance of traveling
unattended.
At the station I suooeeded in press¬
ing a oonple of hundred more on the

At he was only to be gone a couple of

To Bepel Train Bobbers.
It may safely be assumed that in
train robbing the “point of attack is
the engine and then the express car.
Why then not separate them as much
as possible, by putting the express car
the last in the train? Have alarm
bells in each coach and sleeper, which
can be rang by the express messenger
when he is directed or requested, at
this unusual time and place, to open
the door of his car. In each coach
and sleeper have, in a glass-front for case, the
similar to those now in use
ax and saw, two repeating shotguns,
each magazine containing five buck¬
shot cartridges, thus giving from six
to twelve most effective weapons into
the hands of the train crew and pas¬
sengers. The alarm bells should be
electric, though it is believed th|t the
ordinary cord bell could be made to
serve the purpose.
When the messenger sounds his
tocsin of war, there would soon be a
sufficient force of brave' men at the
express car to give the robbeisawarm
welcome. For the latter to cover the
engine cab find each door and side of
each coach or sleeper, would requires
force of men too great in numbers to
make “the divide” profitable. Be¬
sides, the greater number of accom¬
plices or principals, the greater the
chances of a capture and the possi¬
bilities of some one turning “State’s
evidence. ”
Under such an arrangement in the
makeup of a train, should the rear or
express car be the sole point of at¬
tack, then the first step would be to
cat this oar loose from the train, and
then loot it. The automatic airbrake
wonld give the alarm to the engineer,
and he, in tarn, to the coaches; or,
better still, the conoealed electric wire
could be so arranged as to sound the
alarm when the car parted from the
train. Should the engine, as in the
past, be the first point of attaok, then
the crew and passengers (armed) have
the advantage of being between the
foroes of robbers, and, with every
prebability, can throw the greater
nnmber in the fight, and, Napoleon¬
like, repulse or defeat in detail.—

THE SUGAR TRUST.
A GIGANTIO MONOPOLY AT IT3 OLD
TEIOKS.
Began to Advance Prices as Soon as
Congress Adjourned—Its Record
of Fraud and Hypocrisy—No Un¬
friendly Legislation Anticip ated
Prom a Republican Congress.
The Saga? Trust is continuing its
business of refining sngar, bribing
legislators, juggling stocks, advanc¬
ing prices and making Anarchists.
From September, 1894, to March,
1895, the Sugar Trust declared that it
was making no money; that there was
bnt little protection in the new law;
that foreign competition was keeping
prices rainously low; and that the fn
tnrefor the refining industry in this
country was very uncertain. When
it declared its regular quarterly divi
dend of three per cent, last Decern
ber it declared that it was not from
profits under the new law but from
surplus accumulated before August
28, 1894.
Those who have watched the tricks
of the trust during the past eight years
and -who understand present condi
tions knew that the trust was simply
playing a big game of bluff. They
knew that it made millions of dollars
during these six months from the
sales of sngar refined from raws im
ported before the duty went into ef
feot. They knew that-the price of
refined sugar was kept down by the
trust—first, to prevent antagonistic
legislation; second, to obtain, if pos
sible, more favorable legislation;
third, to prevent orders fron coming
in and thus to give color to the state
ments that the trust was suffering
from severe competition. They heard
that the trust was importing Dutoh
sugars and selling small quantities at
a loss to cause the quotation of prices
on imported refined sugars that would
impress Congress and the “howlers”
against the Sugar Trust. They knew.
and prophesied that as soon as Con
gress had adjourned the trust would
begin to advance prices, boom stocks
and to declare dividends from present
profits.
Between March 4 and 7 the price of
granulated sngar was advanced } of a
cent per pound. On March 7, the di
reotors met and declared the regular
quarterly three per cent, dividend and
gavenotice that “the stockholders of
the sngar company should get it firmly
in their minds that they have a property
of great earning capacity,” and that
everythmg is saooharineand lovely for
the future. Sugar Trust stook ad
vanoed from ninety-three on March 2
to 103} on Maroh 12. Disregarding
its gloomy forebodings for six months
the Sugar Trade Journal (organ of the
Trust! said on March 14:
“Refined. As anticipated in our
last issue, a fnrthnr advance of l-16c.
per pound was made this week in re
fined sugars, bringing the price of
granulated to 3.86o. per pound nett,
whioh is still a low price, compara
tively speaking. The demand for re
fined increased under the stimulus of
improving prices; everybody likes an
advancing market and the end of a
continuous depression. The season is
favorable for larger business, and
April to Jnly are always good months,
In this connection we call attention to
the better outlook, .as given by an
thority, in connection with the deolara
tion of the regular dividends by the
Amerioan Sugar Refining Company,
There oan be question that the stooks
of this company are now regular divi¬
dend paying investments. ”
It will be many months before the
next Congress meets. Besides, the
trust does not anticipate unfriendly
legislation from the Republicans; it
has owned them in the past, and it ex
pects to own them in the future, in
spite of pnblio opinion, whioh whole- it has
so grossly outraged. The net
sale price of granulated sngar is now
8.86 cents per pound, while the price
«f raw (centrifugals) is three cents.
The price of granulated may be ex
pected to advanoe until it is one cent
above the price of raw. It may go a
few points above, bnt it cannot long
remain there or importations will be
gin. At that difference, the trust
will make, clear profit, pound, about seven

Why should there be any surprise
that American manufacturers thus

not the Wilson tariff law give our
