BUSINESS.
Two Things Which Stand In the Way of
 Progress.

The improvement in business which has been so noticeable during the past few months has been in spite of two things which stand in the way of prog ress. One of these is tho new tariff law, the result of which has been to infiate greatly the volume of imports without correspondingly increasing the exports The effect has been, first, a continued deficit in the government revenues. The deficit for the current fiscal year to date, 8 period of 2ls months, amounts to more than $14. .000, 900. The effect, sec ond, has been to create an immense trade balance against this country. Dur ing the eight months ending Aug. 31 the exports were $6S, ,00Q 000 less than in the corresponding period in the pre-. ceding year. The excess of imports over exports was @36, 5o5, GOO, while in the corresponding period in the preceding year the excess of exports was nearly $65, ,000, GOO. There have been disap- pointing delay in the movement of the crops and Q disappointing foreign de- mand for our products There is large stock of cotton held abroad and hence a retarded demand for our new crop. Europe does not seem to be eager to buy our wheat. Russia and other competi- tors of our grainfields appear to be un- derbidding us, notwithstanding the low prices ruling here. When we do begin to export our agricultural products in large amounts, the low prices obtained will diminish the money total of our exports and thus make it more difficult to overcome the sum of merchandise imports. Thus the new tariff, regardless of the real or alleged benefits it may be- stow, is working an actual injury by increasing the adverse trade balance, and thus compelling gold exports at a time when the whole energies of the government have been employed, even at the expense of repeated bond issues, to maintain the gold reserve ill order to insure the maintenance of the gold standard ill this country.
 The other thing against which the improvement i'll business has to contend is eur defective currency system Flu ropean capital is holding aloof from American investments, London prefer ring to indalge in a wild speculation in South Africa gold mines, and the secret of the absence of foreign participation ill our markets is distrust of our finan- cial system. It is feared that notwith- standing all that the administration may do we will yet drift upon a silver basis. On this side of the water we have much more hopeful understand ing of the subject, but certainly the coming congress has a magnificent op- portunity to clear away these adverse conditions. The fear is, however, that it will waste its energies in the usual partisad sparring preliminary to a presidential campaign. = Philadelphia Ledger.

WENT IN A TRANCE.

How a Lowell Girl Was Prostrated at a
 Wake. N
 Bernadette Demarais, pretty bru- the home of her parents, Mir. and Mrs. Louis Demarais, and the physician in attendance is unable to restore her to consciousness. It appears that the girl went with her parents to attend the wake over the body of her uncle, Noise St. Denis, on Moody street.
 With others she had formed circle around the casket, and the prayers for the dead had been chanted, when with q slight cry she fell forward with her arms outstretched over the coffin. She was then hysterical, but when one of the girls went to her assistance she threw her arms about the latter's neck and immediately went into a eataleptic state, so that it took two men to release the second girl from the strange em- brace. Miss Demarais remained at the house of her uncle that night, and her condition being unchanged she was car ried home in the morning.
 At this time the muscles of the limbs were so rigid that the knees could not be bent, and the arms hanging at the sides could not be bent at the elbows The hands were clinched, and not even the little fingers could be stIaig ghtened, and the eyes were open wider than usual, but the eyeballs never moved For an hour this afternoon the girl was conscious. Her arms and limbs sudden ly relaxed, and she began to toss about and utter wild exclamations. She said that her uncle was calling to her from purgatory and kept repeating the state- ment until she went into another trance
 Her pulse was strong, though the girl did not swallow any food for three days Mrs. Demarais is in a terrible state of fright. She says that before St. Denis died he warned her that something ter rible would happen to the family. The girl is said to have gone into trance once when much younger and remained so for three days

YOUNG JAY GOULD.
The Late Wizards Son Begins His Career

The Late Wizards Son Begins His Career
 worthily.
 Frank Jay Gould, youngest son of the late wizard of Wall street, has sig nalized his advent into business life by an act of generosity toward the people of Roxbury, N. Y., his fathers birth place. The village schoolhouse had be- come dilapidated, and as it required all the available money for running ex- penses the townspeople did not see their way clear to bettering the conditions of their only house of learning. It was with some surprise, considering the number and extent of gifts already be- slowed upon the town by the Gould children, that overtures looking toward the erection of practically new school building were received from Frank Gould. The proposal was gratefully re- i ceived, and the youngster became very enthusiastic over his first philanthropic venture. The building was so thorough ly repaired that it had but little of the old material remaining ill it, big tow CT was raised and 40 foot addition built.
 When all was completed, young Gould determined to do still more hand somely by the building. There must be a clock and bell for the tower A repre- sentative of the Seth Thomas Clock company was sent to Lyndhurst, where Frank lives with his sister, Miss Helen, and a day and part of night were spent in going over the plans, Miss Alice Northrup, cousin, and other members of the family participating in the con sultation. The clock and bell were be- ing placed in position yesterday and will be ready for duty within few days. The Roxbury people are very proud of the whole gift, since no other village in the state can make like showing
 Frank Gould made tbe giftso quietly that the fact has only now become gen erally known. He is too modest to tell how much he spent, but it was good many thousand dollars, and it was all saved from his income Inquiry con- corning the beneficence developed the fact that the young man has joined his brothers George, Edwin and Howard in managing their great joint interests and is now q member of a busy quartet at 195 Broadway in the office where his father won so many millions. Frank is about 19 years old He is tall, lanky and smooth faced and is quiet and shy. New York World

Edward Atkinson's Latest.

MT. Edward Atkinson says that in the heart of this country, ill the noun tains of Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and the Carolinas, there is a population of over 2,000,O0 people who to this day are chiefly clad ill homespun fab rics, in making which, at the market price of labor in the factory towns, an industrious person working handloom might earn as high as $5 year. So that instead of econonizing by making their own clothing the mountaineers are in the highest degree wasteful.

NARROW ESCAPE
A Pleasure Party spends Night In the
 Water.

VI aleEs
 Miss Asxew's narrative of how she and her companion narrowly escaped death on the rock bound coast of the is land of Jersey will recall to the minds of many readers a stirring episode ill Scott's ''Guy Mannering.' Entieed by a treacherous calm, unGer bright blue sky, the party, consisting of Miss Askew and Miss Marson--both Birmingham ladies-and their friend, MT. Everall, put forth from St. Helies' for row, but, according to Miss Askew' s state l ments, communicated to contributor to the Birmingham Daily Gazette, they were Ecareelyon the open sea before the breeze suddenly freshened and the wa ter became "ehoppy. !" A companion boat, with some friends aboard, made at once for the point of starting, and contriyed to get back safely, but Mir. Everall unfortunately snapped an oar, and found it impossible with the re- maining blade to scull the boat home ward or prevent her drifting toward a dangerous reef of rocks only about a mile and half from the land Luckily, he was enabled to steer for ''eomb' that stood higher above the waves than it's neighbors, and here with difficulty they landed. The sun was now sinking, and they could discern the people on the shore. No one, however, appeared to observe these specks upon the black rock, and even sailing boats passed at no great distance without noticing their signals.
 Rain now began to fall heavily, and lightning flashed with peals of thunder. To their horror they found the tide steadily rising. till they were driven to a crest of rock little more than four feet square, to which they clung with diff culty in the strong wind. h this des- perate position the lower part of their bodies was already immersed, when happily the waters ceased to rise. About 8 ill the evening the moon broke forth from the clouds, and by degrees the wind subsided. Not yet, however, were their sutferings ended. One by one they saw the lights in the little town extin- guished, and cut. bruised and torment ed with thirst from the salt spray they waited through the weary hours for daybreak. The Southampton boat passed them Ill the morning, but still their sig nals were unperceived, and again the tide began to rise. threatening them in their exhausted condition with repe tition of their miseries. but at last the boat of some Jersey fishermen was seen putting off from shore, and after IS hours of suffering and peril the cast aways were safely landed on the island amid the cheers of vast gathering of the Jersey folk.-London Daily News.
