YANKEE NOTIONS ABROAD.

No greater compliment to American
manufactures and American workmen
can be found than that Expressed by
the demand being made upon them by
the world for high grade instruments
and machinery. Coarse, heavy goods
which show their quality upon their
face. and which are not subjected to
special strain or breakage OF their
parts, are purchased in any market,
but those who purchase complicated
and delicately constructed machinery
which must be handled and operated
by persons thousands of miles from the
place OF construction and unfamiliar
with it's details, show a confidence in
the quality of material and faithful
ness In construction which is a COM
pliment to those who make and to those
who sell these articles.
That the people of the world have
confidence in American goods of this
character and therefore In the people
who make and sell them is shown by
the large orders which our manufac-
turers OF fine and complicated ma
chinery have received in the fiscal year
Just ended. Telephones, telegraph in
struments. typewriters. bicycles. steam
engines, fire engines, railway engines.

presses, instruments for scientific pur-
poses. clocks. watches. pianos. organs
and other articles OF this delicate and
complicated character. the production
OF American workmen and American
manufacturers. amounting in value to
$50. 600, have been purchased from US
by other parts Of the world in the year
just ended. A million dollars worth a
week has been taken from the people
of the United States by the people Of
distant nations as a practical evidence
of their admiration for and confidence
In the American workman and the
American manufacturer. From the
great manufacturing countries of Eng
land, Germany and France, from
Japan. China and India, where gen.
erations of skiliful men lived, iourished
and passed away before wheel was
turned or a factory established in
America: from the forests of Africa
and the islands of Oceanica, from
Turkey. from Persia, from Slam, from
Korea, from Alden, the Azores. Auck-
land. Fiji, Tonga, Samoa. Madagascar,
Tripoli. German Africa. Spanish Ocean
lea, British Australasia, Dutch East
Indies. French Guiana, Portuguese
Africa, Asiatic Russia, and countries
of Central and South America, come
orders for the product OF American
workmen and American factories. Jap
anese fingers manipulate our type
writer's, Chinese feet and hands give
motion and life to our sewing machines,
skilled operators in the great European
centres communicate with others in
distant parts OF the world with our
telegraph Instruments and the natives
of Africa, India and oceanica dsport
themselves on our bicycles. Com
plicated instruments from our work
shops are carried to the opposite side
Of the globe and to inaccessible and
sparsely populated parts of the earth in
oalm confidence that in inexperienced
hands they will perform and continue
to perform the duties for which they
are constructed.
That this confidence is fully justified
by experience is shown by the steadily
increasing demand for our machinery.
For years we have exported from two
to three million dollars worth per an
mum OF sewing machines, sending them
to all parts of the earth. and the figures
for the past year range far above the
average of the decade. From the time
that typewriters and bicycles came into
use there has been a demand upon us
for them, and now their expectation
ranges into the millions, and their pur-
ohasers are found in every part of the
globe.

Pete Lehman and his Quincy pets
administered the double cross to the
local aggregation al the Twelfth street
park Yesterday afternoon. There was
no justifiable excuse for Rock Island
losing the game.
1t was spirited contest and neatly
and prettily played. 1t pleased tn,
fans immensely, but the fact of the
home boys allowing the visitors to
roll them out at the close of the battle
after holding them down so success
fully through several innings, cooled
their ardor.

This is simple, and if your health

worth having your Postum made

FRANK r. YUIILE DEAD,
He Was Well Known on Park Row,
New York

New York March 2L-Frank L. Yuille
forty-five years old, who for ten years
was known as the Old Man Bountiful
of Park Row died of jaundice yesterday
in shabby lodging house at No. $50 Park
Row. He had for a long time received
weekly remittances from w. S. Taylor
& Bloodgood, jr.. No. Thomas Street.
and he had casually mentioned To ac-
quaintances that he had an interest in
the firm and was a relative of William
BlOOdgoOd
Small, yellow, with sharp features and
tangled hair and beard, the eccentric
man passed his life in lodging house for
some reason, known now, perhaps, only
by his relatives. He was kind hearted,
and whenever any of the poor fellows in
the lodging house were short of money he
paid for their board and lodging
Yuille had a weekly account at phar-
macy at No. 175 Park Row. where he
bought medicines for himself and his poor
friends. He also frequently supplied
cripples with crutches- and canes.
On cot in his wretched little room,
whose window overlooked Park Row
Yuille was found dead early yesterday
He had been i'll TOR many months. Notes
and letters that Uttered two wooden
stands in the room throw a light on an
eccentric career.
According to what Yuille had casually
told the other inmates of the lodging
house, he came of a good family in New
Orleans. He said his wife died there
about nine years ago and that his two
sons were being educated at Yale.
