TIN PLATE EXPORTS.

The returns of British exports for the
first six months of 1899 show that $780,
367 ,O4O pounds of tin plates were ex-
ported to this country. These figures of
course bear no comparison with the ex-
ports during the first six months of
1891, when the English and Welsh
manufacturers were working night and
day to fill the orders of American i'm
porters of tin plates who wished to
avoid the heavy additional duty that
would be imposed by the Mckinley act
after July 1. But when you put the
present exports in comparison with the
exports of normal years you find that
they make very good exhibit. In the
first six months of 1890 the exports Ct
tin plates from Great Britain to the
United States amounted to 81 ,420, 480
p ounds. In the corresponding period
of 1889 they were 4O2, O92, 24O pounds.
In the same months of 1888 they were
314, 549, 76O pounds, and in the first half
of 1887 they were SOS, O94 400 pounds.
Thus the British exports of tin plates
to this country in. the past six months
are actually 8,946, $50 pounds larger
than in the same months of of 1890,
5,917 ,280 pounds larger than in the
same months of 1888, and 17,272, GAO
pounds larger than in the same months
of 1887. Bear in mind, also, that last
year this country imported tin plates to
an unprecedented extent, so that the
American consumption was met to
some extent thiS year from the over
importation of 1891. The figures fur
nish ample and undeniable proof that
thus far the American manufacture of
tin plates is, from a business point of
view, q mere myth.

AN exchange says that a storage bat
terry systen1Nf street railway has been
in operation in Milford, Mass, since
April, 1891. Its success is complete and
apparently will be permanent. The
satisfaction it has given to Its owners
and to the public is thorough. Not a
single day have the cars failed to run
since the line was opened, even in the
hardest winter weather, and hardly a
trip has been missed. The system is
not in use anywhere else. 1t has not
been brought to the attention of the
public at all. Not share of stock in
the capital of the company has been Of
fered for public sale. The owners, in
ventors and managers preferred to work
out their problems there, cure their de-
fects and not go to the public until they
were sure that they had solved the prob
lens of using storage batteries for street
railway service and had overcome
the difficulties which had wrecked all
former anticipations. But success, they
believe, has at last been achieved and
they will soon come before the public
with a presentation of their case. II
would be well for Waterbury to investi
gate this matter before granting permits
sion to the Horse Railroad Co to intro
duce the trolley system.

The Beach Belle.

Some slightly cynical scribe has fairly
"sized up" the Respondent creature
who parades her scant but costly
raiment on the sands of the fashionable
watering places in the following terse
manner:
"It is very amusing to watch a beach
belle conscious of the effect her COR
geous though limited costume is pro-
ducing upon the crowd. You know how
she conducts herself and how she
proudly marches down to the waters
edge, where suddenly she halts, and
moistening a tiny silk-covered toe in
the brine returns to the dry sand, where
she poses for an hour or two and beams
on a group of happy male admirers.
This daily maneuver the fair one is
pleased to call bathing. No one ever
dreams of contradicting her, though
even the small boy who is engrossed in
the task of effacing himself with snowy
sand can tell you that the beach bellies
clothing is dryer after her alleged
bath than the parched throat of the
purple-noscd man who is sleeping
peacefully in the shade of the pier"

In the circuit court of Beatrice, Nebs,
. few days ago man procured divorce
from his wife for lying. It was alleged
that the woman had been guilty of MT
tering ten thousand falsehoods. Among
the many interesting stories with which
his wife amused herself by telling him
he filed these: She told him that his
mother had just been found dead in bed,
murdered by unknown persons; that
their nearest neighbor and his best
friend had attempted to assault her;
that she had received q letter from a
lawyer in her old home telling her she
had inherited q fortune and to send him
fifty dollars at once-she spent the mon
ey for new dress; that their little son
had fallen in the well and broken his
leg-he was asleep In the crib; that
their minister had eloped with a serv-
ant girl, leaving his wife and Ave chill
dren destitute-which story, when re-
peated by him, was the means of cost
ing him seven hundred dollars and a
deal of trouble to keep from being con-
victed of criminal libel. These are but
a few of the charges brought by the
husband, the substantiation of which
proved his wife one of the most accom-
plished liars living and not a whit scru-
pulOus

Columbus Day.

Congress has recently taken action
authorizing and directing the president
to issue a proclamation making Column
bus day a national public school holi-
day. The same action affects the date
upon which the celebration is to be
held. Whereas, by the act of congress
of April rs, 1890, October 10 was named
as the day, it was deemed necessary to
change it to October 81, in order to cor
rect the difference in the Julian calen-
dar of Columbus time and the Gregorian
calendar adopted in 1882. This move,
although a little tardy, is a wise one, as
without such a change the country
would become involved in the tremen-
dous absurdity Of two celebrations Of
Discovery day. To observe the 18th of
October would be to disregard all we'll
established presidents and place the
nation in all exceedingly awkward pre-
dicament. Hence the date to be OBJ
served throughout the union will be
October 81.

THE GREAT PARADE.


sion at Denver.
DENVER, Col, Aug. 10.-Yesterday
was the biggest day of the great triennal
Knights Templar conclave Everybody
expected 1t would be and no one was dis
appointed. It was the day of the great
parade and the formal opening of the
business session of the grand encampment
The parade was the great public demon
stration and, of course, attracted the most
attention.
1t was a magnificent affair. Several
of the Communicates were mounted, but
the largest part of them were on foot.
The total number of uniformed knights
who took part in the parade exceeded 3d.
grand stands and the buildings watch ing
them pass. The line was enlivened by
the music of 200 bands.
The nights rain, while it had spoiled the
beauty of some of the decorations, cooled
the air greatly, and made life pleasant for
the visitors in the city Preparations
for the grand parade were all completed
Monday night. Orders were issued to
be in place at 8 o'clock and at the time
they were all ready. After waiting an
hor r three guns were fred and the head
of the procession began to move.
Just at the same time Grand Master

Brown Place Hotel for the reviewing
stand at Sixteenth and Logan avenues.
The line of march of the procession
began on 18th street. crossed over Court
Place to 10Th street, then up Sixteenth
avenue past the reviewing stand to Race
street and then returned to the business
section again.
After several miles of marching the
parade broke up at the Masonic Temple
The Fourteenth Division formed on a.
many side streets and took their places as
the line moved along: AS the start wa.
made at 10 o'clock with 10000 men iI

THE point that advertising is strong
indication OF honesty is well worth re-
Numbering. The man who advertises
his goods as of honest quality and price
is under bonds to the public to keep his
VOID. II he advertises himself as ready
to do one thing, and then does another,
the public very soon finds him out and
avoids him. On the other hand the
man who does not advertise, bnt con-
tents himself with letting his neighbors
do his advertising for him, offers no
public guarantee that he is treating all
his customers alike, or that he is ready
to deal with the public as his neighbors
do

THE st. Louis man who recently
tapped an electric wire surreptitiously
for his own use was set at liberty, the
Judge who tried him declining to pro-
nounce the offense petit larceny, while
the grand jury refused to regard it as
a fraud. There was no dispute as to
the fact of the offense. The difficulty
seems to have been the purely technical
one of finding the proper legal label
for it. The electric light company may
be relied on to see that the laws de-
ficiency in that respect shall be prompt
ly made good, as otherwise they would
be likely to find it more profitable to
possible leakage.
