DETROIT, MicU.. July 1S.--"Ann
Small VS.. John Smith, breach OF prom.
ise,n was the title OF a case Just decided
here. The complainant is q widow OF ~
years, and the defendant Is o lively old
gentleman OF so. She has been mar
ried twice and he was II widower.
The complainant related that February
10Th, 1899, less than a month after the
death Of the third Mrs. Smith, the de.
PENDANT came TO her house and conducted
himself very much like modern Romeo.
The first time he asked her to marry
him she refused. But she said that on
the Goth of the following May Smith
drove over to her home at Trenton and
again sought her hand in marriage.
This time, according to her testimony,
she consented and the day for the core
mony was set for the following Noyem-
Der.
The witness then related with some
manifestations OF emotion how, disre-
garding his solemn promise and her
own feelings, Smith, six months later,
married another widow.
John Smith, dressed in homespun
clothes, with form bent but having a
firm, brisk step, took the stand and de-
MED ever having promised to marry the
complainant.
The Jury deliberated for an hour.
Then they returned a verdict for the
defendant.

Our Timber Goes to Every Country o
the Globe.

Our Timber Goes to Every Country on
the Globe.
A publication from the State Depart
ment consists of reports from American
consuls throughout the world regarding
United States lumber in foreign markets.
While intended primarily for the adj
vantage Of American lumber producers
and shippers, the information is of
unusual general interest. The remarka-
BILE fact is shown that the United States
sends lumber to every country on the
globe, and that while in many lands the
market is virtually controlled by the
shippers of this country, there are still
greater possibilities of increased sales.
Nearly all the building lumber i'm
ported by Africa, it is said, comes from
the United States; Japan buys it, ard
no other lumber enters South American
ports. In Samoa cents foot is paid
for rough Oregon pine and California
redwood. Hawaii, by letting American
lumber in free of duty and charging 10
per cent ad valorem duty on Canadian
lumber, virtually prohibits the importa.
ton of the latter. Consul Mills, at
Honolulu, reports that all the timber
used there comes from the United States,
and that 1t amounts to 100000 feet
annually. Even the island of New
Caledonia prefers pine from Washing
ton, and pays about $40 for SO cubic
feet. All the lumber used in Madeira
comes from Maine, North Carolina and
Nova Scotia, while Mexico and the
West Indies rely wholly upon the
United States. Australia buys 81 100000
worth every year, and would take as
much more if it could be bought readily.
The great difficulty appears to be in
procuring the transport of the Ameri-
can wood. Little is carried by Ameri-
can ships. The principal rivals of this
country in the worlds lumber trade are
Canada and Norway, except in Eng
land, where Russia and Germany are
competitors, and in Austria, which is
supplied by countries on the Mediter-
ranean. Austria, however, gets her
slaves from the United States, as do
most of the other nations Of Europe.
More lumber from the United States
than from Canada is used in Great
Britain. Nearly all the spools are made
of white birch from Maine. Even Ore
gon timber reaches England
One consul protests against selling
American lumber in foreign countries
because it may ruin the forests of the
United States. Il appears from most of
The consular reports that comparatively
few countries have wooden houses on
account of the great expense Of lumber,
and that transportation facilities alone
prevent the substitution Of wood for
stone and similar materials. This is gen
orally the case in tropical countries,
where the woods are too hard to be
proiitably used for ordinary construction.
From a business point of view it is
shown that the American exportlumbe
trade is still in its infancy, though
American timber is probably more
widely known than any other product

Under this head we find in the edi-

Of the workingmen of the United States
are loyal sons of the republic. They
have no sympathy with Anarchism.

stand that their incompetent and blum

ment they can be relied upon to face
about and retrace their steps.

CLEVELAND, o., July 1S.-A new
astronomical instrument, termed sex
tuple Photographic telescope, has just
been completed by Warner Il Swaxey
of this city, and is about to be shipped
to New Haven, Conn. It will be placed
in one of the Yale obseryatorles and
will begin its picture-tSking with the
appearance of the August meteoric dis.
plays.
In certain respects it stands unique
among Photographic telescopes and may
revolutionize the present system. 1t
has six cameras instead of one, and
together they cover a field in the sky
equal to that which would be occupied
by 400 full moons.
By its use On the meteors the astrono-
mers of Yale expect TO develop new facts
relating TO their height. They will place
single telescopes at distances of two
miles from the seStuple instrument and
by means of electrical connections will
photograph simultaneously THO plates
will then be compared and calculations
will be made with view to establish
ing the height of the meteors.
