AMERIeAN GOODS ABROAD.

AMERIGAN GOODS ABROAD.
 United States Consul Meeker writes that woo,en fabrics manufac- tured in this country fairly compete with British goods in the very stronghold of that industry in the city of Bradford. Consul Germain states that American carpets are be- ing introduced in Switzerland, whose people have heretofore bought such goods in Germany, France and Bel gium.
 During the interval of five months from the passage of the new tariff act to the January l, when it took effect, American factories expert mented largely in mixing differekt grades of imported wool with the native article. There was also an oVerhanling of labor-s saving machin- cry and the introduction of radical improvements. Results are making themselves manifest in cheaper clothing and an extension of oul home market. Every man who has recently had occasion to replenish his wardrobe has discovered that prices have gone down immensely and the manufactures not only now successfully rivals the foreigner on American soil, but boldly competes with him in his own market This clearly shows that prote etion crip pies trade, and that perfect eompe tition is profitable to everyone.

THE VANDERBILT DIVORCE.
An Example of the Most Pernicious Char
 acter Imaginable.

An Example of the Most Pernicious Char acter Imaginable.
 The method by which the Vanderbilt divorce was arranged is scandal to our jurisprudence Worse than that, it is an influence for the degradation of public morals and the breaking down of the popular sense of right and wrong.
 Practically Mir. and Mrs Vanderbilt divorced themselves. There was no hearing before court. The parties did not appear before the tribunal There was no public proof of infidelity on either side to serve as punishment to the guilty party or as deterrent in- fiuence in the case of others. The whole matter was arranged by dioker. The only function of the court was to give legal effect to the terms of the bargain.
 Is it, then, the privilege of the rich to annul their marriages at pleasure by mutual agreement? The law, rigidly en- forced against all ordinary citizens, pre- scribes that collusion between husband and wife shall be an effectual and per emptory bar to divorce Yet this rich man and woman have sent their law yers into court with co1lusive agree ment already made; the court has sup pressed the evidence agreed to be pre- sented by sending the case to referee instead of hearing it in open session; the referee has made report in accord ance with the terms of the dicker; the court has affirmed it, ordering the pa pers sealed so that there may be no scandinavian means simply that the guilty party shall be spared all social shame and inconvenience - and the terms of the oollusive agreement have been embodied in a decree which au- thorizes one party to marry again at pleasure and imposes upon the other & prohibition of marriage which is as in- effeetual as bull against comet
 In saying this we do not mean to re- feet upon Justice Barrett He is judge whose eminent learning and conspicu- ous service are properly appreciated by the community. But in this matter he is the instrument of vicious system which prevails, we believe, only in New York and which certainly does not ob- tain ill most of the other states.
 Unless we accept the unelean doctrine of free love, marriage and divorce are not in any sense private matters. The family relation lies at the very founda- tion of society. Divorce equally with marriage is matter of public concern and should be deereed only after pub lie hearing and public proof of statutory cause.
 A case of this kind sets an example oi the most pernioious character imagina- ble. It means to the majority that there is one law for the rich and another fol the rest of us. It means that if you have money enough your marriage VOWS may count for nothing. It means that your misconduct will be carefully guard ed against exposure by all the authority the courts possess. It means that while collusive divorce proceedings are per emptorily thrown out of court ill the case of ordinary persons a multimil' lionaire and his wife may arrange such proceeding in full assurance that il will be ratified by the courts, and that all the scandalous details will be secure ly hidden beneath the sacred seal of tht tribunal Nov York World.

 runs up to Louisville to fix up his ac' counts, and this is how he happened tc
 be at the depot last night.
 You sec" said he. "in all this south country they must have, or think they must have, something little softer and smoother than the ordinary. and so we give them a blend. These blends may be made of any brand, so the con- ditions are fulfilled as to the age and strength. In our own instance we take a moderate quantity of our Echo Spring years old, and cut or blend 1t with some new whiskey, with little rye in it, and the result is an article that stands at even 100 proof, and Is very smooth and pleasant to the taste. This is what we call the Rose Valley blend.
 "The further north you get the stiffer the quality must be. Our quality for this trade must stand at 1OS or 1O5 proof, which is very strong liquor; but in this section the average drinks are so much smaller that about the same alcoholic strength is consumed in each section. For instance a gallon of liq- uor served out over bars in south Tex as, as In Galveston and Houston, brings in pay for only eighty drinks, whereas the same measures served over north ern counters produces ninety Your south Texas man not only fills the glass. but he has an expert way of making rim to it with his forefnger, with the glass inclined, which enables him to carry to his lips several drops more of the precious article than though he merely used the little glass in the old-fashioned way. This is habit, I sthink, that originated with the greas- CTS and dagoes of the south country. We have it a little different in north Texas, which Is peopled by whites alto- gether There they get ninety drinks to the gallon. But the weaker blends are also accountable for this practice in the southern country, for the obvious reason that it takes a lot of it to pro- duce the desired effect. These cheap CT mixtures are injurious, but their bad qualities are partly covered up by the use of flavors. The commonest is the prune juice blend, which really goes down very well. but 1t is very bad on the system.

 4 STEERING DECISION.

The decision of the Supreme court of this State that the railroad commits | sioners have only the right, under the | electric road charters, to regulate and not to stop grade crossings has made a decided stir. The decision was for the Bridgeport Traction company in the case involving its right to cross the track of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad at grade, just south of the Bridgeport station.
 We do not look upon the decision as a great misfortune. as some dol The misfortune is the fact that under the law such decision can or must be made. Now that it has been made the eyes of the people are fully open to the dangers which lie in the situation, and there will probably be an enthusiastic demand for such a change as will re- move them. People cannot afford to be wounded or killed while taking their rides abroad, and the general uncertain ty as to who will be the victim or vic tims of the accidents that are inevita- ble at such crossings as that which has just been declared legal will make eve rybody interested. So we may expect that, influenced by the powerful motive of self-protection, there will be an ap- peal to the legislature concerning this matter that will attract attention. There ought to be. No obstacles should be put in the path of progress" but the path of progress should be made

Japan is a wonderful country, as China has found out to her sorrow. It has been the general belief among "out- side barbarians" that Japan is a poor country; that long war would exhaust her more than many other countries. Prices are low there. and nobody has thought of the country as rich. But it now appears that the general idea is a mistaken one. Japan is now said to be rapidly becoming entirely self-sup- porting, and therefore need have little fear of exhaustion. She has money enough for all requirements; her taxa tion is very light. yet her revenue leaves a surplus over expenditure every year; her imports about balance her ex- ports, and both are increasing yearly, and are not suffering in the least from the war. When the accumulated sur plus (about 40,00000O yen) had all been voted away in war expenses war loan of 30000,000 yen and now another of 10000, 900 have been readily raised with out causing any appreciable dislocation. Government bonds were about per cent premium in the beginning of the year when there was distinct boom In the market; now, when the war has gone on three months, the surplus been spent, and the loan been raised, they are still alt 2 per cent. premium, with an upward tendency. The country Is not poor in any sense of the word. The land, though of hardly larger extent than England and in some parts too mountainous for cultivation, supports population of 4oOOO,OOo, and produces a rice crop which is usually larger than the whole grain crop of Russia.
 What new surprise Japan has ill store for the rest of the world remains to be seen. Perhaps after she gets through with China she will tackle Eng land and take India away from her.

ExTRAY.lGANT FUNERIA1S.

It Is well known fact that those
 who can least afford to give their
 dead friends fine and costly funerals
 are usually the ones who take the most
 pride in doing so. In order to do
 what they think to be the right thing
 they will impoverish themselves and
 even load themselves with a heavy
 burden of debt. The feeling which leads to this is of a most generous nature, but, like some other generous feelings, it needs regulation by good sense. Therefore every effort to check the needless eXtravagance that has been so popular in funerals deserves encouragement. The matter is re- ceiving attention in New York, where the Rev. pr. Henry Mottet, rector of the Church Of the Holy Communion; w. s. Beardman and James E. Learned, a committee of the archdeaconry of New York, have just made a valuable report on the subject of funerals. They approve entirely the recommenda- tions of the Burial Reform association, and add to them certain recommenda- tions of their own, They favor the use of churches for burial services, in- stead of homes, and ask the clergy to open the churches free of cost for this purpose. They offer graves in St. Mirhae!'s ce.' etery at S4 each for those unable to pay the SEC and $5) charged for single graves in public cemeteries. They present schedule of charges for decent funeral, the entire cost of coffin, hearse, one coach, shroud, box and preserving on ice being $39. They favor the simplest funerals, the use of plain collins, the disuse of crape and of floral decorations, except a few cut flowers, the early interment of the body in soil sufficient for it's resolution to its ultimate elements, the substitu- tion of burial plots for family vaults.

anywhere about the gown, it is made into the gown itself, and though for evening and house wear godet skirts of the most pronounced pattern are worn, for the street the exaggerated skirt is not encouraged.

 Many imported gowns have neck eff fleets stimulating an elaborate collar ette or chemisette. These might well be copied but 1t would be much better to let the collarette be detachable, The character of the gown may then be changed by a shift of neck finish and the pretty collarette can be of use on more than one gown. Vandyke laces in the heavier machine patterns are being fitted with collars and then heavily spangled and jeweled A deep frill of soft chiffon is set under the points and a high choker of chiffon mounts the collar.
