Mrs. Jefferson Davis Exercised Over The Publication of Private
 Letter.

RICHMOND, Va, April 2I-Mrs. Varina Jefferson Davis, who is spending the week here, having come to witness the unveiling in St. Paul's church of memorial window to her husband, and to attend the conference of regents of the Con- federate Museum, is very much ex- ercised over the publication of a private letter written by her to Mr. Edgar $. Wilson of Macon, c Ga., in which she alluded to the Cubans as that miserable mulatto raee,p and declared the south would have to bear the brunt of war with Spain while the North would reap all the benefit. Col. J. M Morgan, late of the Confederate States navy, who escorted Mrs. Davis south afier the evacuation of Richmond, gave out a letter in her behalf last night in which he says: Mrs. Jefferson Davis requests me to say that the letter which was published in this mornings papers, was private let ter. Mrs. Davis says further that she had no intention of conveying the impression that the Cubans were in her opinion a race of mul- altos, as she was well aware that the colored people only number about one third tof the population, and that both whites and blacks dwell upon the island as they do in the Southern states. In Mrs. Davis opinion it would be mis- take to annex any territory to the South which cont ntained any large number of colored people. Mrs. Davis says that she hnrredly serib- bled the note in answer to war letter and was much chagrined when she saw the opinions she does not seriously entertain pub- lished broadcast over the land. It is but natural that she should de- preciate war. "

Seats on the Elevated
(From the New York Sun. }


1t is probable that men discriminate
their seats in elevated cars; they are in
many cases prompt as ever to give
them up, and in other cases they are not.
The man going home from his work,
whatever it may be, in shop or Office. is
more than likely to hold his seat against
a woman likewise returning from work
In this case the woman. if she has not
entered into competition with the man,
has at least placed herself on practically
equal terms with him: and. so far as CIV
ing up his seat TO her is concerned the
man who is seated is likely to treat her
on that basis.
The woman who works was at first put
out by this peculiar recognition of her
new status, and she is not yet fully ac-
customed to it.
But however men may view the ques-
ton as to whether they should give up
their seats to women, there is one Gus
tom among men that still prevails, and
that is the custom of giving to women
the first chance at seats that may be va
Gated. Men sitting may hold their seats
against women who come in, but when
men and women are standing together or
near one another in car and somebody
gets up and leaves seat, then almost in
yariably. the man refrains from taking
the seat and leaves 1t to the woman in
many cases calling her attention to it,
when otherwise she might not have
seen IL.

DEVELOP FOREIGN TRADE.
Commercial Traveller Suggests n
Combine of Manufacturers.


Consul General Stowe sends TO the
-Jort from commercial traveller of over
fourteen years experience in South At
-ica, Egypt, Persia, India, China, and
Japan. The report reads, in part:
There is hardly an article manufactur-
ed in the United States for which a good
demand does not exist in foreign coun-
tries, due either to the excellence of the
goods or the reasonable cost Many arti-
Giles Of higher price than those offered
BY other countries will sell. simply be-
cause they come from the United States
on account of the reputation that Amer
lean exports have won.
The agents Of export houses Of the
United tSates travelling in foreign coun-
tries sell goods on a commission of from
IL to per cent. They always try to
sell staple articles. or such manufactured
goods as are already known; and hardly
ever take the trouble to increase sales by
introducing the goods Of a new manufac-
turer. Commercial travellers take cata-
logues Of many manufacturers, but they
first show samples of goods already intro
duced and are satisfied TO get an order
for these special lines.
Ii would be an error to think that the
Introduction Of new goods viii mean a
decrease OF exports Of the old ones. The
latter would sell in naturally increased
quantities. while the new lines will Gre
ate an independent demand. The cOmpe-
tition will be. not with American. but
with German, English, and other foreign
manufacturers.
The exporter says with reason that he
cannot pay his men and have them spend
time in introducing the line Of each man

er himself must take the first step. and

THE objection of expense can be met
by method which has been adopted with

turers Of different lines combine in send

This is the home of the steel industry in its
highest state of perfection. The material is pro-

why it may not be worked into the finest needles
