The Germans are building up their trade. They first ascertain what a people want, and then they sndeavor to supply that want. The Philadelphia commercial muse- um has adopted the German method of in formation. and all details as to stoves and ranges in South America and the West Indies can be obtained from the informa- tion bureau of the Philadelphia institution.
 Birmingham is plainly the place where such goods should be made. because the pig Iron is made here at the lowest possible prices. Birmingham-made stoves should be found from El Paso to the Horn, but as matter of fact, it is German-made or Brit ish-made stoves and ranges that are found in that great stretch of country.

From the Washington Times.

From the Washington Times.
 Richmond Pearson, who represents the Ninth North Carolina district in the house, has decided to make a contest for right to occupy a seat in the Fifty-sxth con- gress. He was only defeated by small plurality and claims to have sufficient evil dence of frand to more than offset it. If one-half of what MT. Pearson alleges is true there is no doubt that he played in ex- ceedingly hard luck during the last cam paign. "Talk about Tammany Hall." ex- claimed MT. Pearson, in discussing his troubles to his colleagues in the house, "why the members of that noted orgauiza- ton are mere children in comparison to some of the politicians down in my state. They do not stop at anything, and they keep their brains working overtime hatch ing out new schemes. Let me give you an illustrations:
 One of the counties in my district is To- cated up in the mountains and ordinarily safely and surely republican. I did not in- tend paying any attention to it at all. One day about ten days before election an old colored man came into my office and handed me typewriter note which bore my signature and was under my letter head. The note ran about like this Don t say anything about it to any of your friends, but if you will present this note at my office you will find fifteen dollars waiting for you.'
 "I read the letter over several times be- fore really took 1t in. Turning to the colored man I said sharply: Uncle, this letter Is a forgery
 Whats that? he asked
 Well said, it means that I did not write 1t. Somebody has forged my name
 Boss he said, I don't know nothing about that. I live thirteen miles from here and walked all the way to get the fifteen dollars promised.
 'The interview ended by my giving the poor old man five dollars. But that was not all. More than two hundred negroes from this particular county turned up with similar letters Of course did not under take to help them all and the chances are that lost good many votes by the trick Some one had stolen some of my office stationery and had scattered these forged letter through the district
 Mir. Pearson is serving his second term in the house. He was elected to the Fifty fourth congress as an independent pro- tectionist." but since then he has come out squarely as republican.

DIR. ANDREWS RETAINED

r
 It appears that Chicago is not willing to part with pr. Andrews as superintendent of it's schools, after all. He has been in- duced to reconsider his determination to retire from that office, and his assertion of himself has had the effect to render his position in it more satisfactory than 1t had been before. He has won what is substan- tially victory in his contest with those who had embarrassed him. Several mem- bers of the board whom he had previously found in opposition have apologized by de- claring that they acted under a misappre- hension, and the mayor of the city comes strongly to his side, announcing that he favors rule under which the nominations of the superintendent shal be ad ,ed with- out question. Thus peace reigns, with Dr. Andrews in the ascendant. Let us hope it will continue.

POOR FAURE
From the St. Louis Republic.

From the St. Louis Republic.
 President Faure, after having mounted to lne highest rung in the ladder of distinc- tion. finds himself, perhaps, the most un- comfortable man in Europe.
 He is bothered about the Dreyfus case, a revolt of the army, an Orleanist uprising, a Bonapartist insurrection, anarchist plots and war against England.
 He might worry through these troubles and not lose any flesh or great amount of sleep, were he not harassed with a jealous wife, who throws the dinner plates at him and secretes his latch key. All this must make the French president conclude that it is better to be an obscure. baldheaded bachelor than the greatest married man on earth.

The Evacuation of Cuba.

Much the most interesting movement of the present time relates to the evacuation of Cuba by the Spanish, and the garisoning of the great island by the United States. The two movements are going on simultan- eously. Spanish steamers will soon take der can be sent into camp as soon and as fast as American troops arrive to take their places.
 The military commission, headed by Gen. eral Wade, seems to be satisfied with the progress of the evacuation movement A large number of American troops will not be needed in the place of 100000 Spanish troops who are to be repatriated, because American troops have no battles to fight, no rebellious subjects to subdue. Ordinary policing is about all the business they will have on their hands, and one-tenth of the Spanish number will undoubtedly meet every need.
 American troops are going forward rap- idly, and by New Years Day Spanish au- thority in the island and in the hemisphere will be ended forever. It will be an event of the highest order, one that historians and noveists and political economists will weigh and analyze, as well as record. No event of the next thirty days will be apt to outrank it. although something may hap pen that will temporarily eclipse it, because 1t is known and expected and provided for

COLONEL or THE ROUGH RIDERS

From the Providence Journal.
 There will be general satisfaction over the promotion of General Leonard Wood to be a major general. He was an expert but not very widely known physician at the outbreak of the war, in which the presi- dent had great personal confidence. He became colonel of the Rough Riders, only to see the chief glory of their gallant dash at San Juan transferred to Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt came home to win fresh honors in his na- tive state, and Wood was kept at Santiago, charged with the difficult task of cleaning the city, restoring order throughout the province and framing satisfactory gov ernment. He had already been promoted to brigadier general, and his work in his new position certainly entities him to his latest promotion. No American has come out of the war with a better record in his own particular field.

 The bitterly cold wind yesterday after noon kept everybody indoors except such persons who were compelled to be out The down town streets looked deserted as com- pared with their usual crowded state. The waiting rooms at the union passenger sta tion were crowded to their fullest capacity. Many visitors to the city. after completing their business, went to the station in order to get out of the cold, waiting an hour or two for their trains. In the crowd there were many soldiers, and they seemed rath- CT to enjoy the effect of the cold.
 
 Amongst the crowd at the station about o'clock were two very attractive looking young women, one of them being tall and dashing, and both evidently enjoying them selves. They carried several parcels and clearly had spent the day here shopping The tall one had among other things chids hobbyhorse, which she was drag ging along under the shed to her train. Suddenly the smaller of the two said I'll bet you wouldn't ride the hobbyhorse?
 Wont I?' called out the tall one, and with that she threw her foot over the hob by and rode it some distance, to tSe great amusement of onlookers.
