TRADE OF THE COUNTRY.
Failing OFF In Exports-The Gold I'M
ports and Exports.

Washington, July 13.-The monthly
statement of the imports and exports
of the United States shows that during
June the imports of merchandise into
the United States amounted to $61 1885,,
208, of which $25, 1881, ,331 was free of
duty. For the year the total imports
of merchandise amounted to $69f f677,-
3SS, of which over $3OO,OO0,OOO was free
of duty. The exports of domestic mer-
chandise during June aggregated $94,-
S28,732, a gain of about $2,O00,000. For
the year the exports amounted to ST.
227 432,425, a decrease from last year
of $4,038,905.
The gold imports during June
amounted to SO, 3,1O5,6S6, decrease of
about $225,000, as compared with June
$89S. The gold exports amounted to
500, ,90S,327 against $375529 for June, 1898.
For the year the imports of gold
amounted to 1854 ,6O3, and the ex-
ports to $37,522,OS6 The silver i'm
ports during June amounted to $1,917,-
215, and the exports to $3,S49, O99.
The chief reduction in the value of
exports during the year is in grain of
which the supply abroad in 1898 was
unusually short. The average price
per bushel of wheat exported in the fis-
cal year, 1898, was $3.50 cents, against
an average of TAFT cents in the fiscal
year just ended. The reduction in ex-
portations of gain is chiefly in price,
the quantity Of wheat exported being
only about 1O,0OO,0O0 bushels less than
that of last year.

RACING At RE.ADVILLE.
Two-in-Three style Continues Popular
Accident in gig Vrot

Readvlle, Mass, July 13,-Every con-
dition of track and weather which is
conducive to perfect racing favored the
third days events on the Readville track
this afternoon. Every event was good
clean horse racing. The new two-in-
three style continues to give general sat
isfaction. The 2:10 pacing was far and
away the finest event of the meeting,
because it brought together some of the
best ones in the fast circuit and Moth
Miller was forced to make a new mark
for himself of 2:07 IL. The event comes
very near being the fastest thus far this
season and although Flirt and Wood
shed are still in the class, they showed
great speed from the word to the wire.
The 2;16 class, trotting brought to-
gether horses that finished in strong
shape and it took four heats to pick the
money takers. In the third heat, an ac-
cident, which fortunately did not result
seriously, occurred at the three-quarter
post. Suzette was in the lead slightly,
with the horses well punched when Gill
bert, her driver, it appeared attempted
to take the pole. The distance was not
sufficient to allow it and Giilbert's sulky
was brought under TimbrePs nose. Tim
brel struck the sulky and was thrown
headlong, forcing Suzette partly to the
ground and Con Withers ran into the
mix-up and got bad fall. The horses

Cape Town, July f3.--The Cape parlia-
ment will open tomorrow and exciting
scsnes are anticipated owing to the at
titude of the premier, w. p. Schreiner,
on the Transvaal question. A large
number of the opposition members favor
his impeachment. In the meantime the
Afrikander party is working up pro-
Boer agitation and doing it's utmost in
this direction. An attempt to hold
loyalist meeting at Worcester this even
ing was frustrated by the Afrikanders,
who precipitated a disgraceful scene
forciply dragging the loyalist speakers
from the platform and expelling them
from the hall amid jeers and insults. 1t
is reported that several Dutch members
of the legislature participated The pub
lication of the text of the Transvaal
franchise law, now being debated at
Pretoria, has accentuated the bitterness
between the two elements The military
authorities here are purchasing horses,
mules and wagons and preparing to for
ward supplies to Kimberley.

HE WAS EVIDENTLY INSANE

Charleston, s. c., April 9.-Samuel Vert
helm. an oil merchant of New York, killed
himself in most shocking manner Satur-
day in the office of G. NJ. Poltzer.
Wertheim, accompanied by his nephew,
had been staying at Summerville for his
health He suffered from insomnia. His
nephew grew alarmed at symptoms devei-
oped yesterday and started to take the
sick man home. They came here today on
their way north and called at Mr.. Politz-
er's office. Wertheim walked up to Mr..
Politzer and said Gus, l am going mad.
With that he began beating himself on the
head with a paper weight. Unable to re-
strain him, young Wertheim, his nephew,
and Politzer rushed out to get help
The frenzed man then broke out pane
of glass in one of the office windows and
beat his face and neck on the jagged edges
that remained in the sash. A negro boy
tried to drag him from the window, but
was told he would be killed if he interfer-
ed. The boy retreated and Wertheim DASH
ed his head through another pane and saw
ed his neck on the ragged glass till he fell
to the floor exhausted Medical assist
ance was summoned and he was put in an
ambulance, but he died before the city hos
pital was reached.

AUTOMATIC GAS LAMP.
For Economy, Brilliancy, Etc. it Leads

The attention of people passing along
Second avenue, between Eighteenth and

An Age-Herald representative was among

superiority of this superb light in power
over those Of similar size of ordinary gas

the orchestra were all put to the severest
test in this number, and that they got
through without a failure was certainly a
high achievement.

music from beginning to end was marked
by good taste and was most appropriate

COLDS.
Microbes More Responsible Than
Changes of Temperature.

Medical Press and Record.
The old-fashioned cold has been ousted to
some extent from its former position in do
nestle medicine by the modern influenza.
An attack of influenza is a much better ex-
cuse for non-attendance at the office or
shop than cold, the latter being common-
ly regarded as an accommodation bill
drawn by laziness or idleness. There is un-
questionably such thing as cold-that is
to say, a deviation from health obviously
consequent upon and due to exposure to
cold and damp. The initial sensation OF
cold is followed up by more or less pro-
nounced physical discomfort possibly by
more definite signs and symptoms Of bron-
chitis or other disease fr1gore. With that
prediction for inexorable logic which
characterizes the undiscernins, the aver
age citizen regards every Illness beginning
with chill as cold, losing sight of the
fact that there are chills-i. O., sensations
OF cold-which are in nowiss due to the &C.
ton of the low temperatures This vulgar
error has been productive Of serious conse-
quence in more than one direction.
Nowadays, and rightly. we are all for
fresh air. We fear no foe save the ubiqui-
tous microbe. and we fight him with fro
and poison, with results that amply suffice

the influence of cold, he or she attributes
the symptoms which follow-the cough, the
sweating, the expectoraton, eto.-to ex-
posture, whereas the chill merely heralded
rise of temperature incidental to en- out
burst Of tuberculous disease.
1t would surprise many intelligent people
to be told that a chill Is sign that there
Is fever. and that sweating il usually a
sign that the fever Is abating. Yet such Is
the unvarnished faot that 1t would be well
for 1t to be generally known. Cold h mere

EASTER SERVICES.
Both Masses at ST. Paul's Attended By
Large Congregations.

Both masses at St. Pauls church Sun
day were attended by vast congregations.
The Rev. Patrick O'Reilly was the ceie-
brant and preacher at the low mass. One
of the ablest and most convincing dis
courses on the resurrection ever delivered
from the pulpit of st. Paul's was that
which he delivered on this occasion. Tho
holy communion was administered to over
five hundred persons, the largest number of
communicates at any one service, Father
O'Reilly says, since he was installed In the
pastorate here The Ancient Order of
Hibernians went to communion in a body.
At the high mass the Rev. Father Am
brose of the Benedictines, was the cele-
brant and preacher In the pulpit he spoke
impressive words which were listened to
with closest attention. A great feature of
the high mass was the music, of course. 1t
was perhaps the best Easter music ever
heard at st. Paul's The work selected for
this joyous occasion was Paolo La Villas
Mass No. 8, heard for the first time In Dir
mingham. There were twenty voices in
the choir, and this choir was supported by
an orchestra of sixteen instruments Phil
Memoli was the director, and Miss Mary
Rabitte presided at the organ. The mass
was very beautiful but exceedingly diff
cult, and the music lovers who listened to
1t were warm in their praise of the singers
and the orchestra. The "kyrie Eleison"
was a slow, easy movement, and was a
fitting introduction to the musical part of
the service The Gloria which followed
was a fine piece of composition-an allegro
con brio-and was exceptionally well rem
dered. It was indeed splendidly sung. An
other number which was especially well
rendered was the majestic "Sanctus," with
its beautiful and ingenious harmony. But
the most difficult number OF all was the
"Credo." with its rich harmony and COM
