The alleged American intrigues in
Samoa which have caused Germany to
send two cruisers and a despatch boat to
the islands are unknown in this country,
but the incident will probably end in Ger
many taking full possession there. That
may not be a pleasant fate for the
islanders, but it will be better than the
state of anarchy which is said to prevail
in Samoa at present.-Philadelph

One of the concerns allied with the Ma
tional Harrow company or trust has
been violating it's trust contract in re-
gard to selling harrows at fixed price.
Appealing to the courts, a United States
circuit judge at Philadelphia declines to
uphold the validity of the contract on the
ground that the combination is illegal.
The country needs more of such judg
ments. The farmers are entitled to buy
harrows as they must sell wheat-at COM
petitive prices.-Springfield, Mass, Re-

The exports of American manufactured
goods for the fiscal year 1896 are very
gratifying to these who have looked for
ward hopefully for the time when Ameri-
can manufacturers might claim some
part of the worlds markets for such pro-
ducts. In 1860 about 10 per cent. of our

In 1890. the percentage had risen to about

in 1885, From the beginning he showed
great interest in physical culture, anu
during his second year was appointed to
q minor position I'm the gymnasium. By
careful and systematic training, both
here ana at the Young Mems Christian
Association gymnasium, he was prepared
10 take charge of the department. IN
addition TO this a course was taken IN
the trainin- school at Lake Geneva, WIS.,
where a special study was made Of ply

Ing also courses in track and Held ath-
letics. under Dr. Paul O. Phillips, medl-
cal athletic director OF the Chicago Young

How Jealous Woman of Chester Was
Foiled In an Attempt to Take Her Life.
Chester, Pa, Feb 1.-THE corset
which she wore saved the life of Mrs.
james Greavee, who shot herself in
the side last night with suicidal in
tent. She left her husband some
months ago because, as she said, she
would not live under the same roof
with Ada Horton, woman boarding
there. Several weeks ago she met Ada
in the street and attacked her with
clothes stick. She was arrested, but
was discharged.
Last night Mrs. Greayes called at the
residence of her husband, on East
Fifth street, but was not allowed to
enter. Mr.. Greaves called the atten-
tion of Officer Bray to the pistol which
Mrs. Greaves had in her hand. The
woman turned and ran up Fifth street,
pursued by the officer. Suddenly she
turned and pointed the revolver at the
officer, who bravely faced it. Mrs.
Greaves then turned the weapon against
herself and pulled the trigger. Believ-
ing that she had inflicted a mortal
wound. she threw the revolver in the
street and reeled. She was taken 10
tho hospital and examined, when il
was found she was not injured. The
bullet had pentrated her clothing and
struck the steel-ribbed corset, when,
after grazing the flesh, it glanced off.
Mrs. Greaves, who is past middle
life, was taken to the lock- up and held
for IL hearing.
