Live Stock Commission.


 Hon. Will C. Barnes of the live stock sanitary commission spent day in HolbroOk this week and in an interview told of the workings of the commission. He says when the new board took charge the work was greatly in arrears and the new board is working faith fully to catch up. They expect to have the brand book issued in about three months. The work of the commission is very arduous. Their mail amounts to over POO letters per day, all of which must be answered and the matters therein referred to attended to. A large number of brands have been refused recognition on account of simi- larity with others already recorded. To aid these parties the commission has invented brands, giving such par ties the privilege of adopting them. Holbrook Argus.

read from the National Bank Of
Jacksonville, stating that if the
board would allow eight per cent.
interest on warrants that they
would take up at face value $lO,-
900 worth, provided the warrants
were all registered and properly
endorsed. On motion it was or
dercd that all warrants issued in
January and February, 1898, and
those that are to be issued in
March, 1898, would draw eight
per cent. interest per annum from
time Of issue until money is in
treasury to pay same. The sup

rOwed from county, $500 of which

ENORMOUS FOREIGN TRADE.
Exports, $1,000, O,eOO,OOOJ Imports
5000, OO,OOO-second to Great
britain Only.

June 30 the fiscal year of 1s97-9S
closed. The new fiscal year of 1s9s-99
began July 1. AS far as the imports
and exports of merchandise can be
compared, the total foreign commerce
of the United States for last year
shows a remarkable increase. In fact,
this year just ended has been the ban
ner year in American foreign trade,
which represents a larger aggregate
volume than in any previous similar
period of our commercial history. Fig
ures from Washington show that the
exports of the products and manufac-
lures of the United States represent a
total value of 81 200, ,OOO,O 900, while the
imports will be but little more than
half that sum. This gives trade bal
ance Of nearly 5000, 100000 of 100 per
cent. in our favor for the year.
While our imports are less in value
than In any year since 1885, our eX-
ports are the largest ever recorded.
While the greatest gain in our exports
has naturally been in the products of
our farms, it is very gratifying to
know that there has been no falling of
in the foreign demand for American
manufactures, which, for the year just
ended, constituted 25 per cent. Of our
total export trade. At the same time
there has been diminution in our pur-
chases from Al per cent. of all imports
year ago down to 81 per cent. for the
year that terminated June 80. OuI
combined import and export trade
now aggregating $500, 100000, places
us in the second commercial position
of the world, we having now passed
both Germany and France, and follow
ing very close to the United Kingdom

A Paris paper tells this characters
tic incident that happened in Paris in
the COS; Said Pasha, who was on a
visit to the capital, wanted dozen and
half of snuff boxes to distribute
among as many people whom he de-
lighted to honor. He applied to the
members of a celebrated firm, who un-
dertook to provide him with the re-
quired number at the rate of 1900
francs each. 1--WE have only a half doz-
en- reSdy, your highness, but the mo-
ment you have disposed of these we
shall deliver another half Dozen" And
they did. They failed. however, to
complete the third half dozen. They
could only furnish five. And the rea-
son? Because one of the recipients
among the second half dozen had gone
out of town before the jewellers could
get at him.

LONG DISTANCE sTEAMING.
Our Modern WarshIps Have Demon
strated That They Are Good
Ocean Travellers.

The recent performances of the
United States battleship Oregon and
the gunboat Marietta in steaming
from high up along the North Ameri-
can coast around Cape Horn to the
West Indies have very properly chal-
lenged the admiration of the whole
world, says Cassier's Magazine. Until
quite recently much more had been
heard Of the failings of warships than
of their good points, and one was al
most tempted to believe that the av-
erage modern naval vessel was so deli
cately constructed and so complex a
piece of machinery as to be scarcely
fitted to Withstand in due measure
the rough usages of war or the knock
ing about of a protracted sea voyage
under the pressure of high speed and
with all kinds of weather. When sew
eral years ago the United States cruis-
er Columbia crossed over from South
ampton to Sandy Hook, at the en-
trance TO New York harbor, in little
less than seven days, racing success
fully against one of the crack ocean
liners, her performance stood unpar-
aQeled in naval history. 1t bordered,
in fact on what had long been con-
sidered impossible. What the Oregon
and the Marietta have done, however,
is a worthy counterpart of that earlier
magnificent performance, and admir-
ably demonstrates what may be ac-
complished by good engineering, even
when subject to the exacting condi-
.tions of naval restrictions.

SAVED BY THE QUEEN.
Ttctoria7s Great Grandchildren VIII
De |sRoyal HiEhnesses" by
Her Decree.

An interesting writer has lately
pointed out that the children of
Prince Arthur, the only son of the
duke Of Connaught, who is himself
third son of the queen, win no longer
be "royal highnesses," but merely
mobiles, and should these children have
children, they will be obliged to con-
tent the mselves with the common
place prefix 'Mr." 1t is this fact. saws
the Boston Herald, that has induced
the quee N to issue letters patent, un-
der the seal, declaring that the chill
dren of the eldest son of the prince
of Wales shall have and at all times hold
and enjoy the style, title or attribute
of "roysd highness." Hitherto these
children of the duke of York had no
right to be so termed. They were
just plain princes, and their children
would fare no better than their cous-
ins of Connaught. This state of af-
fairs result is from the queen of Eng
land living to see three generations
of her direct heirs, and it doubtless set
her to thinking how Grandpapa Wales
would like having an untitled great
grandson with no place in the royal
procession. Until the issue of these
letters patent, little Eddie, David and
Baby Victoria were nothing but com
moners in the eyes of the law. It
seems odd to Americans that this de-
cree of the queens should have lifted
quite n weight from the Waleses' and
Yorks' hearts; but what say the Con-
naughts of being left out in the cold
with their plain your grace" and
'Mr.?" They haven't been benefited
and what is to become of them 100
years hence?

MAPS OF VALLEY FORGE.
Recent DiscOvery-Traditio
of the Camp.

It is somewhat remarkable, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer, that the only
known maps of the Valley Forge en-
campment during the winter of 1777-
rs were made known to an American
as late as last summer, when Judge
Pennypacker discovered them in Am
sterdam, and that, presented before
the Sons of the Revolution on their re-
cent visit to Valley Forge, they will
only become known to the American
public when published in the society's
year book. The series of maps now in
Judge Pennypacker's possession and
made originally by French engineer
with the American army, include not
only careful drawings of the Valley
Forge encampment, but plans also of
the battlefields of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey.
1t is understood that the plat of the
Valley Forge encampment modifies
materially the traditions concerning
the camp, showing the location of
troops where heretofore no. troops
have been supposed to have had their
encampment. The careful Hollander
who contributed so heartily to the
American cause appears to have con-
tributed the last chapter to the his
tory of the cause by preserving these
maps until they fell into the right
hands.

oUR EoREMosr mrIzEN.

The news which COMES from Ded-
ham. Mass, OF the physical condition
OF Hon. Thomas f. Bayard is most
alarming and all Dslawareans will re-
gret that man who has been so con-
spicuOus in state, national and inter-
national affairs for so many years is
about to end his distinguished career.
He is the foremost citizen OF Delaware;
tha peer OF any man in the nation, and
is as we'll and favorably known abroad
as amy of his American contemporar-
les.
He loves Delaware and Delawareans
as he loves himself, and we believe
that the great regret which will attend
mis- deathbed will be that he was not
permitted to breathe his last in state
which has honored him so lavishly
and which he has served so faithfully,
and among those friends and neighbors
whom he loved and who lowed and re-
spected him in return.
AS a citizen. no man places a higher
valuation upon American citizenship;
as a lawyer his ability is everywhere
recognized. His record as a United
States senator, as secretary of state
and as ambassador to the Court of ST.
James is as clean as 1t can. possibly be.
In whatever direction he h9s exerted
his great mental energy he has made
history for his country and enduring
fame for himself. HE appealed to THE
reason and not to THE passions OF his
fellow-men. He was not carried AWAY
or swerved from his purposes by popu-
lar c,amor while in public life. Know
ing his duty he performed 1t, regardless
OF the criticism of men possessed OF
no such high ideal OF the course TO be
pursued by a public man. His work
will live to his credit and to the good
OF the state and nation which he serv-
ed so faithfully and 80 conscientiously.
He wial die as he has lived-an IN
telligent, broad-minded, fearless Amer
icani citizen. What more can be said
OF any man?
