given at SLs25.s9o, asainst Sci3i,o2s in

The exports OF wheat IN the eight

months Of last year, while the value is
but S1,17S,Ol9. against 800 96e jG6 in the

exports OF corn in the eight months
ending with February. 1899, amount to
111.S1.7SS bushels. against 12O,55I962
bushels in the corresponding eight
months of last year. a slight reduction
in quantity. though the value OF the
corn exports for the eight months end
ing with February, 1899, is $43,5l6,77O
against SAL O96, 800 for the slightly larger
quantity exported in the corresponding
eight months OF 1898. 1t is. therefore,
apparent that while export prices OF
corn are slightly higher than those OF
year ago. those OF wheat are materl-
ally less. and that It Is this reduction in
the export price of wheat which is MAX
ing the apparent falling off in our ex-
ports. in other words. it is not a re-
ductlon in volume OF exports, but in the
price obtained for this LARGEST article
OF our export trade.

GREAT QUESTIONS.
Rev. Wallace huiiing Gave an Interesting Discourse
in The Union Congregational Church.

Rev. Wallace Nutting, pastor of the
Union congregational church. spoke
last evening ON Great Questions" he
Ing the last IN the series OF talks. lie
said In substance that belief when il Is
full and complete. demands action. A
man may say 4 believe in Christian
ity' when he is not himself a Christian.
But belief, when It Is rull and complete,
involves receiving. In order to get much
good out of Christianity there must be
such fun reception Of Christ that He
may be free 10 enter any part OF our
being. We have TO believe In Christ
enough so that we love Him.
christianity is not only believing
ana receiving. but IL is also giving A
man told me that he had been asked TO
run for a political ONCE. lie said that
he would not have done so If he had
known how much he had TO give. You
can't go into the City Council without
giving something. But when you come
10 speak OF the inhnlte-God gives
man eternal life, how much Is that?
The Lord says that He will give "A man
more than he can ask or think. \ man
can think a good deal. Now turn the
question around and ask Must we give
something" Evidently man must give
all OF himself. IL is the finite dealing
with the infinite"
In conclusion DIR. Nutting said "let
me ask you to come away from a de-
pendence upon principles TO the Prince:
come away from resolutions TO resolu-
ton; come away from getting a living
into life; come away from calculations
into an abandonment OF self: come
away from your darkness into His
light; come away from sin into His
glorious righteousness; come away
from thinking into doing"

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1899-03-13

The trusts still move on. Every day
the columns of the newspapers are
spattered with the little paragraphs
announcing yet another trust. The
trust tendency, indeed. has reached the
proportions OF an epidemic. No trade
or Industry seems TO be too small or
too large to be brought into trust.
The fever has reached New England at
last and has struck IL hard. There is
the American Wool Company. organ
lied for the purpose OF consolidating
number of the largest mems wear
worsted mills. There is the new trust
to be started among the worsted yarn
spinners, the formation of which will
be considered at a meeting in Philadel-
phia this week There is the new trust
which is reported TO. is in process of
establishment among the mems wear
wooden mills. There is the proposed knit
goods trust. There is the trust which
certain parties are trying to oconsummate
among the New England cotton manu-
facturers. IL all the reports regarding
possible combinations are true. the tex
tile industries OF New England and the
United States will i'm the course OF the
next few months be completely revolu-
tionized.

There seems to have been more than
the usual interest attending the sport
OF chess in the international match
played by cable between ten Americans
and as many Englshmen. Indeed the
excitement during the final hours of
play stirred the immense crowds i'm at

great enthusiasm. Frequently as the
points made advanced some one OF the
players nearer victory there was wild
cheering. Such symptoms as are here
by suggested indicate that the game OF
chess is rapidly possessing itself OF a
following that in numbers and capacity
for enthusiasm threatens TO rival polo.

II sounds strange to read OF Cubans
calling old man Gomez names ana even
inslnuatlng that he is traitor to Cuba.
And yet that sort of business is what
the Cuban military assembly has just
engaged in with the result that It has
removed the veteran commander-in-
chief from office. The trouble seems 10
be that Gomez has been acting as
though he was the whole Of cuba and
has been dealing with the United
States authorities without consulting
the assembly. TO the world outside OF
cuba Gomez has eminent grounds for
the assumption that he can, at least.
represent his army without consulting
any assembly that may be in existence
and although the vote to impeach and
remove him was all but unanimous it
seems likely that the statement OF one
OF the small minority to the effect that
the action of the assembly would make
IL ridiculous in the eyes Of the world
and that Gomez is stronger in the af-
fections of cuba and its soldiers than a
dozen assemblies will prove to be very
true. Leastwise, the outside world has
not heard much about this assembly
until just now but It has known Gomez
for a matter of twenty years.

Some of Our wonders,

News. IAN American found himself
besieged by a young Englishman, who
was determined to find out as much as
possible about the new world before
the steamer landed. He had been
warned to keep n sharp lookout for
hostile Indians, who sneaked about the
streets looking for chance to pounee
upon and kill unsuspecting foreigners
and then make their escape by running
around the corner and posing quietly
before a cigar store until the crowd
PUSHES on.
"He then asked about crocodiles and
if they could be. found in large num-
bers. The unsophisticated Britisher
was solemnly assured that they were
not so numerous in the Hudson river
as they were some time ago and that
the most Of them are found at Niagara
falls. where the water falls 10 feet,
