Here is a story of a revival meeting
which took place in Ohio some time
ago. A certain worthy exhorter toos
the floor and started in on IN extended
discourse. He talked, and talked, and
talked. Time was swallowed up. other
speakers were crowded out, the audi.
ence was exhausted, and still the e
horter talked on
Pretty soon ne paused a moment to
catch his breath, and then spreading
out his hands he beloved forth:
II see a mighty field before me!'
Before he could get any further he
was interrupted by a little German
American IN a front seat. The little
man turned half round and said in a
penetrating whisper:
"Poys, poys, somebody put up der
bar gwick! If he effer gifts himself in
side Of dot fed We Won't go home to-
night"
The exhorter saw the point end
brought his remarks to q hurried close.

OUR MANUFACTURES

Remembering the years during which
disinterested free-traders were urging
q often r~elterating their advice that
the people of the United States confine
themselves to the pursuit Of agricul-
ture, to food-raising and to the produc-
ton OF raw materials, and to leave TO
other and far more favored countries
the business Of converting these raw
materials into manufactured commodi-
ties, 1t is interesting to tote some of
the important consequences resulting
from the disregard Of that %extraordin.
airy counsel and the consequent estab-
hshmenf Of the policy of protection.
From statistics cleaned by the Treas
ury Bureau of Statistics 1t appears that
manufactures are now forming more
than one-third Of u total domestic ex-
ports. During the last month they
were 1877 per cent. OF the total comes
tic exports. during the three months
ending with May they were $3.50 per
cent, and during the fiscal year just

Missing Girl Returns HOUND

Miss Lizzie Berens, the daughter of ex-
Alderman Berels, who disappeared from
home recently, has returned to Kenosha
from st. Mary's hospital in Racine. Miss
Berens talks frankly about the situation
and her reasons for leaving home. Her
parents, she says, were overstrict with
her, requiring her to be in early in the
evenings. In addition they wanted her
TO consent to a marriage with a young
man in Milwaukee while she was devoted
to someone else. This difference of opin-
ion led to serious quarrels.

Lets Train Go Over His Leg.

William Charles, a section foreman on
the Milwaukee Railway, was working ON
the railroad crossing at Racine Junction
when his foot was caught between one of
the rails and a pipe used for the signal
tower. Before he could extricate it the
west-bound milk train bore down on him
and he saw that he would be crushed to
death unless he threw his body outside
the rail and allow the train to pass across
his leg. This he did, and the locomotive
and cars ground his leg to pieces below
the knee. 1t is believed that he will sur
vive the terrible shock.

ID any preceding year, and exceed by
many millions the total exports of
manufactures in any preceding year.
The fiscal year 1893 showed the largest
exports Of manufactures in u history,
$3.50, 697 1874, and In the eleven months
of the fiscal year 1899 the increase
over the corresponding months OK the
preceding year has been $45. 600, so
that It is now apparent that the OK
ports of manufactures In the fiscal year
now ending will be about 335,00O,0OO,
as against the high-water mark, $780,
697 1854 In the fiscal year 1888. This
would seem to indicate that we did
well to run exactly counter to the views
and wishes of our Cobdenite advisers.
Iron ind steel continue to form the
most important, or at least by far the
largest item of value In the exports OF
manufactures. In the month of May,
1899, tue exports of iron and steel, and
manufactures thereof, amounted to
$~S,601,114, making the total for the
eleven months $S4,S73,S42, against $685.
235,029 in the corresponding months of
last year-a gain In the eleven months
of over $21, 900. The recent adj
vances in prices of iron and steel
caused the belief that a reduction In
the exports Of iron and steel would fol-
low, but certainly has not been realized
up to the present time, since the expor-
tations of iron and steel in the month
Of May are 20 per cent. In excess of
those Of May of last year, while those
of April are nearly 80 per cent. In ex-
cess of April, 1898.
The Increase which the years exports
of manufactures will show over earlier
years lends especial interest to a table
prepared by the Treasury Bureau Of
Statistics showing the expectation of
manufactures by great classes in each
year from 1889 to 1893. The following
extracts from 1t show the expectations
In 1889 and 1898 of all articles whose
total value exceeded $1,000,000 in the
year 1898:

A tidal wave raised the water in Che
qRmagon bay and the south shore Of
Lake Superior three feet the other day.
1t is the highest rise of water that has
been reported for several years. 1t came
nearly to the top of sorte of the docks.
Hooded roads and backed up so high that
several sawmills were obliged to shut
down. The water ran over may Of the
lumber docks and into the boiler rooms OF
the mills. In an hour or two the water
began to recede, and the same evening
was nine inches below normal. The
strange thing about it is that the wind
was from off shore. Vessel captains re-
port the same phenomenon on the Apostle
Islands.
