Don't he Deceived.

The free-trade papers are starting
their old war-cry that tariff agitation
will unsettle business. That depends
upon the kind of tariff agitation it is.
Tariff that will afford proper protec-
ton has never checked or injured busi-
ness in any respect. 1t is the threat
of free-trade tariff that unsettles mer-
camille and industrial conditions. When
the people know that protective tar
if will be passed, they know that there
will be more factory fires lighted, more
work for labor, more demand for goods,
more general trade and more prosper
ity. When the people know that a
free-trade tariff Is to be passed, they
know that the factories will be working
abroad, that labor here will be idle, that
wages here will be lower, that the de-
mand for goods will be less and that
business will be at standstill. Pro-
tective tariff talk does good. Free
trade tariff talk does harm. The bust
ness of the country to-day Is not SO ac-
tive as the free-traders promised it
would be and they are looking round
for an excuse. They are trying to shunt
1t on to the talk of tariff for protec-
ton. 1t is one Of the regular shuffies
of these placid old fogies." Don't be
deceived by 1t.

liantly or made deeper inroads on the
affections of the founder and his wife
than the gentle Alkaline Shepherd. She
was in her senior year when Mrs. Mann
proposed that at the completion of the
course she should accompany the Haw-
thornes to Rome.
The girl Joined the Hawthornes in
Rome, where she continued her studies,
drinking in the art life on every side
and perfecting herself in modern Ian
guages, for which she had an inherent
talent. While not an artist in execution
she had singularly delicate artistic per-
ceptions, which doubtless suggested to
Hawthorne the artist Hilda of 1.-THE
Marble Faun," as Badger relates in his
story Of their courtship.
1t was during Alkaline Shepherds So
journ in the Hawthorne household that
"The Marble Faun" was written. The
Hilda Of the tower, Hawthorne tells us,
twas slender, brown-haired New Eng
land girl, whose perceptions of form
and expression were wonderfully clear
and delicate. An orphan without near
relatives, and possessed of a little prop
erty, she had found it within her posi-
bilities to come to Italy. Hilda's gen.
tie courage had brought her safely over
land and sea; her mild, unflagging per-
severance had made place for her in
the famous city, even like flower that
finds a chink for itself and little
earth to grow in on whatever ancient
wall its slender roots may fasten."
Alkaline Shepherd, who, not unlike
Hilda, was rich in the, faculty of gen.
uine admiration" which Hawthorne
says "is one of the rarest to be found
in human nature" won the tender re-
gard of gifted w. w. Story, then on
the threshold of fame. Story, whose
lamentable death was recently cabled
from Rome, it is variously
asserted, sat in the romancer's eye
when he created the character of Ken
yon. Certainly this description of Hill
da's lover TALES with that of the bril-
liant young American as he appeared
to his friends in those early student
days.
The sculptor had face which when
time had done a little more for 1t would
offer q worthy subject for as good an
artist as himself: features finely cut
as IL already marble; an ideal forehead,

and nice art had been lavished here

tenderness in its very substance.

the modelling of the hand in his ia
nous statue of Cleopatra. Repeated
visits to the Metropolitan museum, In
whose vestibule the famous statue OF
Cleopatra confronts the visitor, fail,
however, to reveal any resemblance be-
tween the delicacy of Hilda's hand
and the majestic symmetry and
strength of the hand of the last of the
Ptolmies. Did Hawthorne foresee the
fate, in store for the original Hilda
when he made Miriam say to Kenyon,
There is certainly providence or pur
pose for Hilda, if for no other human
creature"
In time, true to her promise, Alkaline
returned to her native land and welded
the lover of her girlhood. Shortly
after their marriage the husband be-
came professor of rhetoric, while the
wife filed the chair of modern Ian
guages at Antioch college. Then a
shadow fell. He became subject to
epileptic fits. The wife opened a school
in Boston. The combined cares of
school and nursery began to tell at
length on the delicate organization. In
her blood was faint Of insanity. This
thought preyed upon her weakened
condition. One night she slipped away
and committed suicide by leaping into
the Sound from Providence line
steamer.

Our AgrlculuraI E.port..

In September, 1894, our exports of
agricultural products constituted 1884
per cent Of all exports. This year, In
September, they formed but 60.S1 per
cent, loss of 4.S3 per cent. In Sep
TENDER, 1892, they were 1853 per cent,
showing loss this year Of 11.72 per
cent. In September, 1891, they were
77.SS per cent Of all exports, showing
a loss of 1907 for last September as
compared with 1891. This gives farm
ers an idea of the manner in which the
free-traders help them to capture the
markets Of the world. In actual value
this years September loss was nearly
30 per cent, the shipments of agricul-
tural products in September, 1891, be-
ing worth 500. 739. 533 and this year, in

Especial Correspondence
One day last week Mrs. Patrick
Burke, of Winsted, Conn.,, was deserted
by her new-made husband, whom she
had great difficulty in bringing to the
altar in the first place. Her maiden
name was Nunan, and last January
she and Burke were to have been mar
ried. He ran away from her on the
evening set for the ceremony, but re-
turned and made his peace. Once
more the wedding day was set, but
Burke again decamped, leaving st.
Joseph's church filled with his own and
the brides friends. Miss Nunan at
tached his property, which is consider
able, and began a suit for breach of
promise. Just before the case was to
come up for trial Burke returned and
after considerable trouble induced
Miss Nunan to withdraw the suit. This
she did on the distinct understanding
that the wedding must come off soon.
Burke agreed, and one evening last
week Miss Nunan changed her name,
finally becoming Mrs. Burke. The more
or less happy couple started on a short
wedding tour by rail, but the train had
not gone very far when the bridegroom
suddenly left his seat, and going out on
the platform of the car, jumped off. The
train was then running along an en-
bankment, and, although the train
men, on backing up, recognized the
place where Burke had jumped by
marks in the soil, they could find no
trace of the truant. His wife returned
