over Sl00,000,000 Commenting upon
this the New York Moil and Express
says: '"ThiS is the first time in the

when any country has ever in one
month exported goods of its own pro-
duction to SO large an amount. Be
sides this, the figures show that our
exports for the past twelve months,
ten months and four months have
been the largest in our history for
corresponding periods. But even
these so-called official figures are
probably far within the true mark.
There being no duty on exports, their
values are ascertaned not by ap-

often too small. America is the great

to enjoy the necessaries, conveniences
and comforts which our manufacture

THE Democrats in commenting up
on the question of depriving Senator
Brice of his seat in the United States
Senate, have much to say about a
conspiracy. In the. first place they
accused Senator Sherman of entering
into an agreement to object to Mr..
Brice being sworn in. This Mr..
Sherman emphatically denied and
showed wherein it would be foolish for
him to attempt it. A new trail must
be found and this was afforded by a
meeting CT members of the Ohio Re-
publican state committee and few
other gentlemen to see what steps. if
any, should be taken in the matter.
Mr.. Sherman wrote a letter pointing
out the course that should be taken,
if anything is done, and this letter
was published, as was also the sub
stance of the conference. For a
conspiracy it was the most open
handed affair we ever saw. Ii
Mr.. Brice was a resident of Ohio at
the time of his election, he is entitled
to his seat. If not, he has no right to
it under, the constitution, and a
citizen of that state should be select
ed to occupy it.

WHILE TAKING A BATH.
Frank Ziegler is Overcome by Gas
and is Found Almost Dead.


Frank Ziegler, of the Boston store,
had narrow escape from an unti1ne-
ly death Thursday. While taking a
bath at noon at his home, corner of
Hanna and Wayne, streets, he was,
overcome by escaping gas from the
stove and the heat of the small room
and threw himself upon bed. Short
ly afterwards his mother, coming
home from church, found him. uncon-
scious, his eyes CLASSY, heart beating
family and life nearly extinct. With
rare presence of mind Mrs. Ziegler
threw open the windows and bathed
her sons head with cold water, when
he speedily recovered. Had Mrs.
Ziegler delayed her return home
few minutes she would undoubtedly
have found her boy dead. 1t was
narrow escape.-For Wagne, (had.)

CALIFORNIA has a law in regard to
the plea of insanity in murder cases
that would bear copying by other
states. 1t provides that when per-
son accused of murder shall put forth
a plea of insanity. as an excuse for the
murder, the prisoner shall be eXamin-
ed by medical experts as to his sanity.
If they find him insane he is commit
ted to an insane asylum for life. Tn
der no circumstances Can he escape
paying the penalty of his crime. The
insanity plea only makes it the more
difficult TO escape. Once in the in
sane asylum there is no chance for es-
cape. For If the authorities there
decide at any time that he is sane, he
is remanded back to the court from
which he was sent, for trial. Under
these circumstances those charged
with murder in that state very seldom
enter the insanity plea, and what has
grown to be an abuse in other states,
lis largely done away with there.
