large quantities of European fabrics, in
spite of high tariff duties, must operate
against us in foreign markets until we learn
to remedy it by just such means as these
technical schools point out.
We ought to make at home the goods
that our own people require, and at the
same time we should learn what is required
in other countries and how to ADAPT our
manufactures to their needs as well. rms

THE CRICKET TEAM ABROAD.
Philadelphia Players Expected to De-
feat Both Oxford and Cambridge.


feat Both Oxford and Cambridge.
OXFORD June 6.-The Philadelphia
cricketers arrived here about noon to-day
No one met them They spent the after
noon quietly, either strollng through the
university grounds or lolling at ease and
enjoying the hot Americanlike weather
There does not seem to be much interest
in the match among the townspeople, who
have been relied on to furnish good gate.
The present prospects are for a fast wicket
tomorrow, although Biddle and one or two
other mebers of the American team have
not yet fully recovered from the effects of
the voyage. The men are quite confident
that they will give a good account of Them
selves. The oxford team, while very much
improved since the opening of the season,
evidently stands in some awe of the Phil
adelphians, because of their achievements
over the Australians last year. The Phila-
delphia team for tomorrow, according to
the arrangements tonight will consist of
the following; Baily, Biddle, Bohlen, Clark
(P)., Coates, King, Lester, Patterson, Rails
ton, Thayer and Wood.
The American visitors are pretty gcner-
ally expected to win It IS also believed
but it is not thought that they will be
equally successful in all their matches.
Their programme is ambitious, hut it does

players in the respective county teams.
This is doubtless a wise step on their part,
though disappointment to English Crick-
eters, who would have liked 20 see what
Philadelphia could accomplish against
England's finest eleven.
Apropos of the visit, Prince Ran Jit
Sinhji, one Of the most popular cjicketers
in England, said yesterday: There is, of
course, a good deal of interest felt in the
visit of the Americans and this will I'M
doubtedly increase as their tour lengthens.

At Bristol they will meet Or. Grace. So

capable team, they will have very little
chance against some of the county teams"

The Romance of a Jesuit Mission.

The labors of the early Roman Catholic
missionaries among the American Indians
have furnished a fruitful field for histo-
rians and romancists. There is enough of
history about the subject to give it an air
of realism and enough of mystery to give
play to the imagination. 1t furnishes a
theme for THE Romance of a Jesuit Mis-
sion,' by NJ. Bourchier Sanford. The scene
of the story is laid for the most part at
Fort Sainte Marie, the central station of
the missions to the Huron Indians, near
the site of the present town of Midland
Canada. The time is the middle of the sew
enteenth century. The story is written by
a Protestant who does not fail in apprecia-
ton of the sublime courage and devotion
of the early missionaries, who were de-
TERED from their unsefish labors neither
by the privation of rude life in the Amer
lean wilderness, nor an almost certain mar"
tyrdom at the hands of those TO whom they
brought a message Of peace. The story has
enough of love and adventure in it 70 make
it interesting, and it reveals lofty ideal
of life and conduct. Cloth, Sl.25. New
