EXPORTS are growing smaller

consumption of foreign wool is in
creasing and that of domestic wool
is declining. Larger quantities OF
dry goods are brought into the
country from foreign lands, and
fewer domestic dry goods are being
manufactured in the United States

Kinley law. the clip has been re-

POLITICS AT WASHINGTON.

Secretary Olney has according to
one of his laxative friends, sent an
ultimatum, not to England, but to
Mr.. Cleveland. And that is why
Mr.. OIney went to Boston instead
of accompanying Mr.. Cleveland to
Atlanta. The foreign policy of the
administration is at the bottom of
the trouble. Mr.. Cleveland has
been somewhat displeased ever
since the friends of Secretary Olney
caused it to be widely
published that Mr.. Olney had de-
clined to become Secretary of State
until assured that he would be al
lowed to inaugurate more vigor-
Gus foreign policy, particularly as
to the maintenance of the Monroe
doctrine, than had prevailed under
the late Secretary Gresham, and he
has given indications of dispo-
sition to repudiate the stand in IA
vor of the Monroe doctrine which
Secretary Olney has taken in his
communications to the British gov
eminent concerning the Venezuela
boundry dispute. This made Sec
rotary Olney mad, and, after in
effectually trying to get Mr.. Cleve-
land to say that the Monroe doc
trine should be lived up to by the
British in their dealings with Vene
suela, he presented his ultimatum
to MIR. Cleveland. The substance OF
that uItimatum, according to the
aforesaid laxative friend of Secre-
tary Olney, is that Mr.. Cleveland is
given his choice between backing
up the policy in favor of the Mon
roe doctrine, which has been very
clearly outlined in Secretary o.
ney's dispatches to the British For
eign Office and of accepting the
resignation of Secretary Olney. 1t
is not probable that anything de-
cisive will be made public until af-
ter the State elections, but the i'm
preston is strong in Washington
that what Great Britain was al
lowed to do to Nicaragua she will
be allowed to do to Venesuela-
compel compliance with her de-
mands-without regard to the Mon
roe doctrine.
Senator Cullom, of Illinois, who
has been in Washington for few
days, said just before returning
home: "There is no question about
the sentiment in Congress being in
favor of upholding the Monroe doc
trine. 1t is right doctrine and
should be upheld. l presume the
doctrine will be declared in some
more or less formal manner by
Congress and if the situation de-
mands that anything be done to en-
force its observance, Congress,
think, can be depended upon to act
promptly. Great Britain does not
seem to care very much for our
opinions or our wishes and we
must maintain our own dignity
and uphold our own rights. 1t looks
as if most of the foreign powers had
begun to feel that the United
States is getting too powerful to
maintain the old attitude of in
difference towards the affairs of the
world, and as ii they saw in our
increasing strength some imagined
dagger tothemselves. They seem
to be bridling up and displaying a
disposition to press us back, fore
Sailing any possible aggr ,ssive-
ness on our part.

Emma Abbott's First Check.

I saw Il day or two ago the first check
ever given to Emma Abbott for singing.
She appeared at a church festival of some
kind here in New York. for which she
charged 500, and accompanying her was
Il tenor who charged $40. A check for
$40 was made out in her name and she
paid the tenor. Mr.. Lake first met her
ut this festival, believe. and became her
warm admirer, her friend and her IAN
GEL 1t was he who started her out with
a company that made her rich. He always
had the utmost faith in her. He called
her Honest Little En-" and had the
entire second floor of his fine house in
Fifth avenue fitted up for her. He was
old enough to be her father, and she
was a daughter to him. Whenever snc
came to New York she went to his house.
which she soon came to regard as her
own. If she appeared in neighboring
city, at Boston or Philadelphia or Balti-
more, he always formed Il party to go by
special train to hear her sing. If am

A GIRLS PHENOMENAL GROWTH
Her Stature Increased Twenty-four Inches
in Three Months.

HUI STATURE INCREASED Twenty -four Inches
in Three Months.
A case which is attracting considerable
attention from the medical profession ut
Jacksonville. Ind, Louisville and New
Albany because of thu peculiar symp-
toms connected with it developed recent
ly Miss Grace Dougherty, ii years of
age, is dying at the home of her par
ents in Jeffersonville. She was taken ill
three months ago and has since been
confined to her bed. The malady at
first indicated dropsical affection, and
her attending physicians said that this
was the cause of her ailment. The re-
marklble part of the case is the fact
that Miss Dougherty has grown twenty
four inches within the last three months
or during the period of her illness. Ever
since she was compelled to keep to her
bed she has grown with remarkable Wig
or. She was ) feet tall when taken sick
and today, when measured, she was
found to be feet. She has outgrown
the bed on which she reposed and occ,l-
pies it's entire length at angles, or dag
onally from the head to foot board,
whereas when she was first taken down
she did not come within several inches
of taking up the length of the bed The
growth has been uniform all over the
body and the physicians in attendance
say they never before heard of such u
case.
Before she was taken sick she was ii
robust girl, and very tleshy. Now she
is much emaciated and there seems moth
ing left of her but skin and bones. An
other strange feature of Miss Dougher-
tvs disease is her ravenous appetite and
it is almost impossible to appeasc her
hunger. She Graves anything in the

"A stout old lady with red face and Il
big market basket on her arm boarded a
crowded Girard avenue car yesterday aft
ernoon. says the Philadelphia Record,
and, taking the only vacant seat, deposit
ed her basket in front of her. In a few
minutes strange sounds began emerging
from the basket, and the stout old lady
showed visible signs of embarrassment.
The racket continued. and finally she
tried to quiet the cat-for such it was =.

silently replacing the lid, he walked to
the platform and jumped off without

of the passengers, while the owner of the

That Interesting Feature of the Far West
Becoming Extinct

That Interesting Feature of the Far West
Becoming Extinct.
The cowboy, like the buffalo, is fast
becoming extinct. In the dawn of the
new century now approaching he will be
regarded as curiosity. Then years
hence he will almost have attained the
dignity of tradition. History. which en-
balms the man in armur and exalts the
pioneer, holds place for him. The
niche may be a modest one: but he has
had his part in conquerng il new country
and no impartial record of Western eyo-
luton can omit his picturesque figure.
Before civilization devours his identity

the last decade. Ranchers there will

Another Edition,

Another woman's edition of a news
paper, says the Philadelphia Press, APP
peared in a. New York town few days
ago. 1t has already been noticed in
these columns that in another case,
where the society page was edited by
one of the best known and best familietl
women in this country, personalities
of the most pronounced character were
called news and given n prominent place.
In this latter paper the same thing oc-
CURED; the society page was edited by
anoth leading society woman and was
again so personal in it's illustrated de-
scriptions of the eligible men of the
town in question as to appear, in the
eyes of the reader, hopelessly vulgar and
exactly of the sort which would call
forth the reproof of the same woman,
so one would suppose, if it were printed
in the regular edition. Now, the qucs-
ton naturally arises. Do these people
then like this sort of thing after all ?
Why do they do it themselves. if they
do not? Or, are these pages-fair as it
is to consider them samples-only abnor-
NAL, and not induces of the general feel
ing of the smart set?

Hibernian. though he might not chance
to know the deceased personally. Walk
he met funeral procession. which, by
it's length proclaimed itself to be that of
a fellow countryman. AS he waited for

American [riseS.

American irises do not seem to have re-
ceived the attention from cultivators that
they deserve. 1t is doubtful if there be
at this time a complete collection even of
the different species in any one garden,
while there are, no doubt, good varieties
which have never been cultivated. and
probably not even collected for herburi-
ums. Again, there are varieties which
have only local reputation, and which,
have found number of varieties of this
kind; some of these are not yet lowered
here. Some of our irises are most diff
cult to establish, and it will task the skill
of an Eastern grower to flower some of
the West coast species, which resent
removal and naturally are at .rest during
our summer season.-Gartlen and Forest.

1T has been demonstrated that deer will

and then. too, there is no food for the
animals remaining within the Enclosure.
Col. Fox says that out of seventy deer
Il year ago. less than fifty remain.
1t was the intention of the old Forest
commission to free the deer two years
ago. but Il law was got through the Leg
islaturc which exempted Sullivan county
from the general law. and the commits
sioners were afraid that sportsmen would
rapidly kill off the deer. which would
naturally wander into Sullivan county
This law has been repealed and the deer
can now he freed with safety. When
once allowed to roam at will. Col. Fox
believes, they will breed rapidly
The mortality among the Catskill deer
is attributed to the lack of food, such as
grass, berry brushes and the young
shoots of these. BY order of the Fish
cries, Game and Forest commission, no
tees will be posted about the Catskill
region in these words: AS a herd of

of 500 fine and imprisonment for 100

Farewell Dinner.

The story is told that when, after the
second battle of Bull Run, Gen. Sickles
assumed command of division of the
army Of the Potomac. he gave an elabor-
ate farewell dinner to the officers of his
old Excelsior brigade. "Now, boys, we
will have family gathering" he said
to them, as he assembled in his quar-
ters. Pointing to the table, he continued
''Treat it as you would the enemy" As
the feast ended an Irish officer, Capt
Byrnes, was discovered by Sickles in the
act of slowing away three bottles of
champagne in his saddle bags. "What
arc you doing, sir" gasped the aston
ished general. "Obeying orders, SIR" re-
piled the captain, in firm voice. "You
told us to treat that dinner as we would
the enemy. and you know, general, what
we can't kill we capture. Life
