He was th« son of a obuntry storekeeper in FalrnaTen, Mast,, wheiw be earned Mil flrtt money as a Dfiwabor, and then drora a groesry wagon. He was SI years of age whan i>il was disoo*ere<l in PennsylTania, and attracted him to the oil flelda. .It was jn 1874 that hiaasaociation with the fiooke- fellers began. The piling of oil was Mr, BogersY inTention, and no one donbta that, if he was not the principal aathor and rnanipalator of the Standard^ prao> tioes, he was at least a party to the polio/ of no* giving the other fellow a fair ohanoe, of strangling oompetition, of creating and enjoying the conditions of monopoly. He must hare helped also to make the hfatory of the secret rebate, and those devices and agreements of trad© by; which this great industry possessed itself of all the Secrets of its rivals, hemmed them in and stifled and crippled them, to the end that a field by natural law •free toallbeoame the field of one, and pro- duoed octoseal fortnnee. ' Mr. Rogers was, too, a king in multi- todinous otfaer enterprises—banks, gas, copper and railroads. His last .personal enterprise was the development of the Tidewater line \in Yirgini*. wbioh fee 'bplsoed'\ on^«\-iew'-'';*eel^«^ afteifv achieving what nas probably oonae to no other American bosiaessrnan—a tnooese- ful financing of a •*000a,000 i railroad property on his own resouroee and credit, and partly, too, in a time of strati and 8train,tfaepa«ioofl907. In one single deal m his gas propertJefl be onoe cleaned up three_jnilllon doliara. The personal side of Henry H/Rogers could be written as a volome byone who knew him well. His benefactions to the town of Fairbaven, where he bta. made bia summer home for many years, and wherehehap found hia last resting plaoe, are notable. He is said to hare been one of the most genial and lovable of man. Up to the timt of bis death beheld office as superintendent of Btreets at a salary of |3 a day, which he turned over to hi- assistant. For Fairhaven he built a town hall and a Maaonio Hall.'^©n the death Of bis daughter, he built a beautiful public horary W a memorial. The Village needed waterworks—Mr. Rogers provided them, deeding the income from them in perpetuisy to the support of the library. He built a grammar sohool and a high school, a Unitarian chnroh, parish house and a parsonage. The church be built in memory Of his mother. Its dale oarr- ingsand stained windows are among the most beautiful in the country. He turn- ed Fairhaven lowland into a park; built a stone bridge over ^the Acnshnet River, and for the casual visitor erected a com- modious tavern, known las Tabitba folk HoW much money he spent on roads since he became oommuieioner of highways in Fairhaven probably Mr. Rogers himself, or his eeoretary, alone oould have told. His entire gifts to Fairhaven are believed to have exceeded million dollars. -*\.- '-. , i.|-|n-|i,ni»lili**> •'< H\'' - ,n i'l'it -•' - ' •. __,; _-- ' fiie New York Central has «jast issued a 1»09 folder entitled, ^The Adirondack MonnUins and How to Reach Them,\ and expects to distribute 100,000 copies.

The New York Legisla- ture will be asked to appropriate enough money for a special investigation by the State department of agrioalture to dhv cover how much land in the State is avail- able for livestock raising, and what sort of forage will flourish the best. C*tUe would have to be reared with mnch more attention here than in the West, and this WQUld mean thai more men would be re- quired to a given number of cattle, but, granted that the proper kind of forage could be found, cattle railing for tbe livestock market would not be bald Work intblaState, It ia urged that given the land at a low price per SCM, *a<l with the* proper sort of grasses established, it would be profit- able to raise cattle for beef io New York.

When Uncle Sam's grave statisticians announced recently that it requires an expenditure of $1,000,000 a day to gratify that Wonderful sweet tooth of his, not only this country but the World was amseed. \• That great sum is the old gentleman's daily sugar bill, however, and the statisti- cians have figures to prove it. Like a hungry giant, this oountry has year by year developed an increasing ap- petite for sugar'and sweets—for candy, for pastry and various other saccharine delioaoiee—until it now manages to con sntne in a single year 7,080,667,975 pounds of sugar. '-:'-''.'•'••] - '':.''• These facts may appear sensational to those who regard candy as a luxury, as one of tbe chief causes of the increased use of sugar in this country is the leaping popularity of candy. :. : To satisfy the sweet tooth of the nation candy manufacturers produced last year just $100,000,000 worth of rtflffly. -Sold at a profit of $30,000,000, it ooet the people just $130,000,000. The number of pounds consumed Was 667,' The amount of money spent for candy alone was just $50,000,000 more than that spent in 1903.. It is evident that our chU- dren and our best girls are well takes ;Oare-of,> -,'••' - •'-;'-•\• -.- '•\. Most men probably recall the day when 'as boys* they sorreptitioualy sugared bread or stole jam from the closet mother forgot^fo look. When many M the parents of today were children sweets were a luxury; boyson their way to school glowed if they had a cent to buy \sour- balls,\ and little girls were ecstatic with the oocaeional reward of \butter scotch\ for being good v But as the boys and. girls of those day* grew up, and other little boys and girls were born, and the popula tion of the country increased the appetite for sWeeta grew. So that to-day the per capita consumption ot sugar equals half the weight'•of every individual in the country. The United States, in fact, consume* 23 per oent.of the entire sugar production of the world. . ; Onoe upon aT time—which is the way that all wonder tales begin—a wizened Chinaman, with asorewed-up face, oun- ning eyes that glittered through narrow slits, and wearing the inevitable queue, discovered to his delight that a long bam boo-like cane which grew in his garden possessed a strange sweet flavor. ' He was pottering about in his gardes, having grown old in the contemplation of philosophy, when he hit upon the cane. He did not know why he did so; perhaps the primal instinct -of man led him to taste thereof, when a smile passed over his face. Posterity has failed to remember his name, hut he was the discoverer of sugar. Cane was sweet to him, and has been sinoe to the nations of the|vorld. Sugar was not used extensively during the.time of the Roman emperors, and Pliny, Luoian and Varro rarely mention- ed it—which, of course, is another refu ration that the revellers one reads of, although they hai nightingale tongues and wine Faiernian, did not enjoy the aweets as we moderns do. Use of the case spread from China through Asia, Arabia and India, so that it became known as \Indian salt.\ Ar riving in Syria in 1090, after a long and perilous journey, the Crusaders found themselves amid fields of cane, which from hunger they bit into, found pleas- ing and ate. This cane, historians record, became a passion with these doughty : Oieh. : ; ' ,. • ..- .','. -• Centuries followed, and by degrees the fame of sugar cane came spread in Cy pros, the Nile delta, the north coast of Africa as far as Gibraltar, Sicily and the kingdom Of Naples. Kingsdoted upon it, queens felt their mouths water at the thoughts thereof. : -'.'--' Daring the fifteenth century it waB in troduoed info Spain, and the use spread thence to Guadeloupe, to the Island of Martinique and: to Lou&daiaa. By the Portugueee it was introduced into Brazil and by the English into Jamaioar Of course sugar was then a rare luxury —more so, Indeed, than when grandma locked ft in the cupboard. In 1360 the cost per hundred weight in London was $8Gfc By 1800 tbe price had decreased to $38. Today it averages about $5 a bob- dred weight, a little more or lees. It is a veritable romance, the growth of this greet industry. ., Consider the amount consumed to-day, and picture to yourself the folk who are made happy by delicious tarts, who are able to en joy the delights of chocolate eclairs, and who can feast, aa never did the C-e8ars,on gtaoe fruit*. French caramel* and chocolate coated bonbons, which tickle the palate With indescribable flavors, not to mention the little ones who suck the wonderful stick creations, boys whose pockets are filled with mint drops or peanut brittle, the; countleea matinee girls who watch the play over boxes of maraschino cher- ries. When one consider* the creations in confections, the marvellous pies and masterpieces of cakes, the creams and sherbets and drinks into which sugar enters, be does not wonder that the con gumption of tbe delicacy is increasing day hy day by leaps and bounds. One finds sugar now in almost every household; on bread it is no longer con- sidered a luxury. Little boyajMid girls no (onger jealously hoard a penny's worth, as their grandparents did. Fond mammas buy boxes of chocolate* for their Uttla Lillians and Georges; ardent swains purchase great box;**, gayly decorated in ribbons and flowers perhaps, for their beloved. Dessert fol- lows one's meals as a matter of course. Living thus, each one who reads this par- takes of bis share of the 7,089,067,978 pounds of sugar consumed annually In this oountry. — i i —, '* m ' i A man doesnt have to be a contor- tionist to pat himself on the back. — «^.» 11 .1.

O'Neil; \There is no person is tins Senatorial district who could be selected that wonld give such complete satisfaction as the nomination of Fred D. Kilburn. He would bring back to-the district: the prestige given it by Congressman Malby when he served in that body, and> give district stability and strength in the upper house at Albany. The continued illness of Senator CNeilj of St. RegiBy Falls, precluded him from becoming the Senator that this great district demanded. Mr. Kilburn's long years of public life, his wide acquaintance with public men, hio upright character and bis previous £er*, vice in the State Senate -amply equip him for a splendid career in that position, It, Lawrence county Republicans will hail his candidacy with debght. There is no question of his nomination, if he consents to the Franklin Rupablicans presenting his name, as St. Lawrence.
