MISS KEARNEY's ADDRESS.
SPOKE TWICE SUNDAY TO LARGE
AUDIENCE.

Miss Belle Kearney, OF Mississippi,
spoke before large and attentive audi
ence Sunday at 400 p. M at the Y. NJ.
c. A. Hall on the subject, "Why are
the Wheels Clogged?"
She stated that the nation is TODAY
clogged by the saloon and the liquor
traffic. Among the reasons for this she
gave the reluctance of both of the old
parties to oppose the saloon the preju-
dice of the mass OF the people against
voting out the saloon. the sanction of
the liquor traffic by the government in
licensing the liquor traffic and the
saloon and the apathy of Christian
people toward the temperance move
ment.
At night she spoke at Cumberland
Street NJ. T.. Church on the subject,
Sir, We Would See Jesus!" Her line
of thought was that the people are
crying out to see Jesus-that is, to see
Christianity at the head of our govern
ment and the thoughts that Jesus gave
10 the world embodied in government.
She made strong appeal to the peo-
pic to sustain the work of the ". G. II.
u. and the efforts that woman is MAX
ing to make the world better-cfforts
made in the home anu in public. She
also appealed for enlarged membership
for the W. c. T. u. She stated that
the Norfolk branch Of the w. C. T. u.
meets every Wednesday at 1920 n. m.
at the Y. NJ. c. A. and that all persons
who wish to unite with It. or know more
of its aims and objects and its work,
are cordially invited to attend the

 Still another curious and extremely interesting fact is that more than one
 half of the exported manufactures go
 to the great manufacturing countries
 of the world. Of the six and half
 million dollars worth of agricultural implements exported in the nine months ending with March, 1899, three and quarter million dollars worth went to Europe; Of the two million engravings exported during that time more than one+third went to European countries; of carriages and cars European countries tcCk one-fourth, while of the four million dollars worth of bicycles exported two and three-quarter million dollars worth went to Europe. Even in clocks and watches Europe took $511, GOO of the $1,392, 900 worth exported during the period under review, while of scien- 
 telegraph, telephone and other cleo trica1 systems, nearly 50 per cent went to Europe Of the five and a half million dollars worth of builders hardware exported, mere than two and a half. million dollars worth was sent to European countries; Of the two and a fourth million dollars worth of sew ing machines exported, S1,360,OOO went to European countries: of the s1,6S4,- 900 worth Of typewriters exported. $1, ,43O, 900 worth was taken by Eu- ropean countries, while nearly one half of the furniture, one-half of the lumber, tTo-thirds of the mineral oil, four-ifths of the cotton seed oil and nine-tenths of the sole leather were taken by European countries.

New York, April 3O-(Special cor respondence of The Republican.)- There has been considerable talk of William Jennings Bryan bending the knee to Croker. This message of sub mission, it is said, was carried to Croker by a personal friend of Bryan He was deputed to say that Bryan cid not remain away from the democratic club dinner because it was the demo- crate club, but because 1t was a dinner at which Perry Belmont was the pre- siding officer. Then the emissary de- clared that Bryan was not against the ''enemy's country" that he had learn ed to love it, and that he wanted Crok- er's support for 1900 When Bryan reached the city it is said he found he was looked upon as a defeated candi- date.

 T have more plates of blue celeste than that his majesty replied.
 ''You!" exclaimed the attendant. 'Who are you?"
 1.-The king of Sweden" the caller an swered.
 May I ask your majesty how many of these plates you possess?'
 King Oscar turned to Count Rosen, his companion, and asked: How many have we?"
 The reply was: Two hundred and fourteen pieces, your majesty"
 The attendant was dlImbfounded, but managed to inquire how the china had been so carefully preserved Whereat the royal visitor remarked sagely:
 ''Oh, that is easily accounted for. You see, in Sweden we don't have any revolutions. .'-Detroit Free Press.
