no other place of Importance on the

Porto Rico's foreign trade is carried
on chiefly with Spain, the United
States, Cuba, Germany, the United
Kingdom and France (Report, 1896.
Spain takes the first place, with an av-
erage annual trade valued at s9,SSS,
OLA, or $3.50 per cent. The United
States comes second, with trade val
ued at s6,S45,252 year, or 1894 per
cent Of the whole, and Cuba is third,
with an average yearly value Of s4,-
606, 220, or 13.41 per cent Of the whole.
Germany's share of the trade with the
island amounted to $3,050,334, that Of
the United Kingdom was $2,S63,9 $50 and
that of France, s2,2O1,6S7. Still later
returns, giving figures for the year
1897, indicate falling off in that year
from the year preceding as far as the
United States is concerned, the value
of the trade of the island with this
country being given at $4,169,912.

Vesuvius has been exciting a great
deal of interest lately, and a phenom-
enon of much scientific importance was
observed a short time ago. A portion
OF the southern crust of the vast crater
fell in, closing the mouth completely.
The heat from the burning lava below
caused the soil to become incandes-
cent, and blue and green flames sprang
from the center to height of several
yards. This continued some time and
meanwhile the heat was concentrating
itself at the bottom of the crater. At
last a great mass OF flame burst out.

Ex.Treasurer Shane INDICATED.

Some time ago reports were pub
lished here rejecting on the char
acter of ex.Treasurer James Shane,
formerly of this county but now Of
Lawrence, in which it was stated
that he had been arrested on a SER
ious charge. The following from the
Lawrence World and journal tell of
Capt. Shane's vindication, though it
did not need these to prove to his
many Abilene friends his innocence:
The case against Capt. Shane in
the district court was dismissed this
morning upon the request of the
county attorney who stated that the
facts did not warrant prosecution.
The settlement OF the Shane case in
the district court yesterday was not
just as given out The case was dis.
missed on the statement of the county
attorney that there were no facts to
warrant a trial, and it was finally
agreed that the costs should be divid-
ed by the two parties in order to get
it out OF the way.

WHITFIELD Knows SAMPSON.
The Admiral Worked Under 4 Former
Abilentite, 5# NN

Major W. J. Winfield, formerly
foreman of the REFLECTOR but now
Of Kansas City, knows Admiral Samp-
son very we'll. He knew him SO well
when the hero Of Santiago was a boy
that he used to tell him to do this or
do'that or be might get fired. Major
Winfield was foreman Of the Courier
at Palmyra, N. Y, where the admiral
was born 55 years ago, and he used
to hire the ambitious boy to help him
run the old hand press and do other
odd Jobs about the office. The pres
ent admiral lived in Palmyra and
worked at anything he could get to
do until his appointment to the naval
academy at Annapolis, by Hon. E. B.
Morgan, then congressman from that
district.
Major Winfield once found the pres
ent admiral splitting wood with his
father on Market street, Palmyra, and
hired him to "roll" for the Palmyra
Courier, then being printed on
Washington hand press.
Major Winfield says of Admiral
Sampson: Everybody in the village
respected him and Billy as his
schoolmates called him, was admired
for bis good character, industry and
natural ability. He was always
ready for hard work, and did so much
of it that he had little chance to at
tend school,"
Admiral Sampson recently pur-
chased, as an investment, the cele-
brated "Gold Bible Hill farm" once
owned by Joseph Smith, Of Mormon
notoriety. This farm is situated
about four miles south of Palmyra,
on what is known as the Canandaigua
road, and upon it the gold plates were
reputed to be dug which furnished
the data for the now celebrated Nor
mon Bible. Major Winfield is very
proud Of his former connection with
the admiral and may well be.

COST or THE cRIAxIRlls.
Labor Bureau Reports Statistics ~ Ia
Management.

Reports made by twenty-four
creamerics in twenty-three counties
to the labor bureau show that the
average cost for labor per creamery
in 1897 was $4,lll. The average pay
Of male employees was $4SS for the
year. There were six women all told
in the twenty-four creameries and
their wages averaged $27l for the
year.
The plants were in operation an
average of 1913 months and the cost
of labor shows that pound Of butter,
after the milk has reached the cream
cry, can be made for eight-tenths Of a
cent. An interesting feature Of the
creamery business is that while only
8 rs per cent Of the product is sold
in Kansas, Is 10 almost twice as
much) is exported to Europe. The
remainder is sold to other States or
goes elsewhere on the American con.
tinent.
The creamerymen say it would be
impracticable to enforce the eight
hour law in their business. They at
tack oleomargarine almost unani-
mously.
The twenty-four plants reporting
were built at a cost of $3.50, 442. The
owners say now that they are worth
S276, 442, an increase OF per cent
since the plants were built.
