There is some talk of abad oning the
fast mail service west from Kansas
City. This service gets the K. G.
morning papers to us at 2 p. M, when
the train is on time, where we would
otherwise have to wait until the next
morning. The expense to the govern
ment of handling these pagers is esti-
mated at about cents pei pound,
watch is considered a little too high.

ReCord-Breaking Exports.

Buffalo Express.
The figures just issued by the bureau
OF statistics OF the treasury department
show what has been known in q gener-
al way for some time, that the fiscal
year ending on June 30th was in sever
al respects the most remarkable in our
history as respects foreign commerce.
In the volume of exports,
for instance, ali records were
broken. The total of merchandise sent
abroad was 81 ,231. 311 1858, which was
more than $3.50, 000, 900 larger than the
amount for 1897 and $500, 600, 900 In ex-
cess OF the exports for 1892, which had
made the best record up to 1898. 1t
was in exports especially that 1897 was
notable. Imports were $6l6, 052,-
S44, in comparison with 1894, $780,
Alp during 1897. The excess of exports
of merchandise over imports, there
fore, was s6l5, 259, 024 in 1898, in COM
parison with an excess of 1926. 263, 144
in the preceding year. While 1897
showed the largest balance up to that
time, that Of 1898, it will be seen, was
over twice as large.
The excess of imports of gold during
1898 was 500, $40, 059; of gold ore, So
136, 224, and of silver ore, S19, 81 1853.
The excess of exports of silver coin
and bullion was GA, 81. TAX
ing these ngureS In connection
with those of the merchandise
traffic there is q credit balance in
favor Of the United States of about
e53I, 100000. If the allowance made
for payments abroad on account of
freights, interest on foreign debts and
the expenses of travellers is $50, 900, 900
for the year, the net balance in favor
Of the United States at the end of the
fiscal year was about 1884,, 900, 900.
Considered in connection with the
tact that the country has been engaged
in war for a considerable portion of the
fiscal year, this record could hardly be
more satisfactory. 1t is also to
be remembered that the year was the
first during which the Dingley
tariff law was in operation. It is
true, of course, that large share of
the great total of sexports was due to
the foreign demand for.bresdstuffs. It'll
is fact, however, that our exports of
exceeded previous re-
cords, thus refuting the old-time pre-
elections Of free traders that q high
tariff Is fatal to manufacturing for
foreign markets. This year, in fact, |
has more than indicated the faith |
of the republican party in the tariff
which it established as soon as il as
'umed control in Washington. The
best Of it is that the year appears to
have been only the beginning of long
period OF expanding foreign trade.

lowing the blessing, solemn high

ing sermon, explaining in details the

of the bell.
The statement is being published that
only seven states have exceeded their
quota of troops called for, Texas being
among the states behind. with North
Carolina standing lowest. and the reg
ular army still lacking $1,000 men.
This is referred to because it Is likely
to be misunderstood. and we can ex-
plain it better by citing the expert
ence of recruiting officer for the reg
ulsr army who opened q station at San
Marcos. He had no success, as the
men expressed willingness to enlist
in the Texas volunteer regiments,
among their friends, but were uuwil
ling to enlist in the regular army and
be put among strangers. Texas is any
thing but behind in the calls for volun-
teers as fully l5. 600 more men applied
for enlistment than could be received,
but she is behind hundred or so in
quota of the regular army, and this is
what is meant in the published state
ment above referred to. No state in
the Union can furnish more volunteers
than Texas, in proportion to populs
ton, but Texans are not the kind of
men who fancy enlistment in the regu-
lar army and being put among strang
ers. They much prefer to be in the
Texas volunteer regiments and among
Texans.-Laredo Times.

QUEER vERDICTs OF JUR1Es.
{ Odd Way in Which Peouniary; Damages
 Are Sometimes Figured Out.

From tho Washin ston Times
 In a recent case in southern city court a woman sued a corporation for $25,0O0. Able cousel appeared on both sides, and the case was bitterly contested. The jury was out some time, and then returned with a. verdict for the plaintiff, assessing her damages at $59.M. Considerable surprise was expressed at this peculiar verdict, and some trouble was taken to find how the jury had reached 1t. It was learned that ten of the jury were opposed to giving her any damages at all. Two favored small damages. It was finally decided to take the total of the amounts these two wanted the corporation to pay, and divide it by twelve. The amount thus arrived at was to be made the verdict. It was found to be $59
 Make it s59.O1,'' said one of the jury men. "Her lawyer will take the $59, and that will leave the woman a cent at least"
 And so the verdict was returned.
 This manner of arriving at an average of damages is not uncommon, and lawyers and other court officials find no reason to doubt that many a verdict which has been &C., cepted by both sides or sustained by su- preme courts has been reached in a similar manner
 In a recent damage case in which a widow with several children sued a rail- road company for heavy damages for the loss of her husband, it is said the verdict was first got at by the jurymen first de- ciding what was the smallest amount the widow and her children, none of whom was self-supporting, could be supported for per month. When this was reached to the sa tsfaction of all the jury, one of them figured out what amount it would be neces- sary to invest at per cent. to yield the family that income. The amount thus reached was assessed as the damages the corporation ought to pay for the death of the man.
 Law and evidence have frequently been ignored both in civil and criminal cases, by the sympathes or the prejudices of jurors. They are unable to withstand the pathetic eloquence of the Jove-like demon strations of the oratorical lawyers who ad- dress them. Other means tend to produce verdicts utterly unwarranted when facts and justice are taken into consideration.

Rush for Seats

Buffalo, Aug. 11.-Since the Horton law legalized boxing contests in the state of New York there has never been such a rush for seats at a fistic exhibition as is now coming in daily to the Hawthorne Athletic club officials of this city. before which Mo- Coy and Corbet will meet on the 12th of next month. Today over s6,OO0 was received for seats alone, while scores of applicants for seats were turned down, the member ship application not being enclosed. Every foot of the lumber to be used in the build ing is on the ground and the contractor has received his first payment in the shape of a check for 5000.
