A FILIPINO IDOL.
Oriental God ON Exhibition in n New
York Shop MindaM.
lFrom the New York Journall

(From the New York Journal)
To be cast down from the highest pin
nacle of an altar in pagan temple TO a
position alongside a cork leg and pair
steel limb braces in a Sixth Avenue shop
window is fall OF magnitude for even
lowly mankind TO say nothing of an Ori-
entail god. But that is the fate that has
befallen a gilded god of the Filipinos. 1t
arrived this week direct from Manila
whence it was exported by George Kramer
an unfeeling. impious private in the Twen-
tieth Kansas Volunteers. who sent it to
his cousin, Charles Schliefarth.
The idol was captured by a squad from
a company of that regiment that had been
quartered in an old Tagalo church near
Pasg prior to the recent forward move
ment of troops. Although general order
had been given against looting. the boys
decided the god was not loot so they
packed him in a meat sack and put him
in the bottom OF commissary wagon. As
the result OF a cast of lots or shake of
dice. the idol became the property OF
Kramer, who boxed it up and shipped it
to the United States.
This idol is a fantastical, carved block of
wood. Its eyes are small and sQuint. The
mouth is large and the nose fiat and prom
inent. Its two hands. with palms outward,
are raised TO the height of the shoulders,
as If repelling a foe. The feet are small
and turn outward.
On its head is turban resembling the
headdress of the Ahkoond of Swat. in many
folds, ascending to a point and thckly
studded with glass of many colors. Its
carved dress represents the regular Orient
al style OF clothing. long tunie, belted

GROWTH OF EXPORTS
OF MANUFACTURES
Expansion Of American
Spheres Of Influence.
Great Demands for Agricultural
Implements.
Bicycles From This Country Gaining
Favor In All Parts of the
World.

American manufacturers continue to ex-
tend their spheres of influence" through
out the civilized world. ~
The reports of the Treasury Bureau of
Statistics show that during the eight
months ending with February. 2s, 1899, the
exports of manufactures. were not only
S37, 100000 in excess of the, imports of
manufactures, but more than s2s 900, 900
in excess of those exported in the cor
responding months of the fiscal year 1928.
In the 20i business days covered by this
report the American manufacturers have
exported s20T, 600 900 worth of manufac-
lures, or more than s1,00o,000 worth per
day. In the corresponding, days of the
preceding fiscal year their expectations of
manufactures were only $1Sl 900. 900. In
the fiscal year 1898 the United States for
the first time exported more manufactures
than she imported. and the fiscal year
1889 will make another and even better
record in this particular.
While it is apparent that the imports of
manufactures in the year 1899 will be some
what in excess of those of last year, which
were abnormally light by reason OF the
heavy importations just prior to the en-
actment of the recent tariff law, the gain
in exports is greater than the increase in
imports.
In the eight months ending with. Feb
ruary. 1898, the imports of manufactures
were sl52, ,091 ,157 and in the correspond
ing months of the fiscal year 1899 they
were Sl69, ,S43, ,729, an increase of II per
cent In the first eight months of the
fiscal year 1898 the exports of manufac-
lures were $3.50. .606,072. while in the cor
responding months of the fiscal year 1899
they were s206, 1922, 1874, an increase of IA
per cent

of some OF the more important manufac-
lures in the eight months ending with Feb

Burr, who owns the Burlington Hotel in
Asbury Park, is accomplishing something
in the way of a fence altogether unpreced-
ented. Mr.. Burr's nextdoor neighbor is L.

to build an eightfoot fence which would
shut out light and air from the Burr board
ers. Mr.. Burr demonstrated, but Mr..

Then Mr.. Burr collected many telegraph
poles, which he placed in the ground six
inches east OF the Gamble fence, and now
he has a board fence forty feet high that
reaches to the top OF Mr.. CANDLES house.

Louisville, April 9.-The handsome river
steamboat John X. Speed, owned by the
Cincinnati, Memphis, and New Orleans
Company. was sunk and wrecked in the
middle of the Ohio River here about
o'clock this afternoon. When the boat
went down there were twenty-three pas
sengers on her besides her crew, but all
were got of by tugs and rowboats. No
one was lost. but this was due TO the fact
that the Speed was nearly three minutes
in sinking and that all on board went
upon the upper deck, which did not go
below the water. The accident to the
Speed was caused by the boat coming in
contact with the point of the main dam
which is almost opposite the foot of Fiji
teenth Street The hull of the boat was
crushed in and 1t is not believed that she
can be saved. The boat is valued at
60,000, and had cargo of about five

THE NEWLY FOUND PLANET.

An event of unusual interest in the as
trnomic world is scheduled for Novem-
Der, 1900, and, although the date may
seem far removed to the uninitiated, as
tfonomers all over the world are eagerly
awaiting the issue, and preparations for
the affair have been going on for many
months. 1t will be the first chance the
saVants of this globe have ever had to
take a good look at the newly discovered
planet Eros, which at the time named
will be only 81, 900, 900 miles from us, a
mere 1bagatelle to a good telescope. The
planet will come quite close to the earth
in 1917. but the astronomers. impatient
all, are unwilling to wait SO long for their
first accurate observations.
Eros is a new planet. On the 13th of
August, 1898, Herr Witt. of the Grania
observatory at Berlin. discovered an as
teroid which was at first thought to differ
in no important respect from the hun
dreds of other small bodies which circle
around the sun in the space TIVE the
orbits of Mars and Jupiter. When its
path was calculated, however. it was at
once seen that the new body was unique
among it's companions. for while all the
other asteroids pursue their courses COM
pletely outside the orbit of Mars. Eros,
as the new member of the solar system
was named, at times comes nearer to the
earth than any other known celestial
body, the moon only excepted. In fact.
its mean distance from the sun is less
tina the mean distance of Mars. and AZ
Its closest approach Eros is only about

Though Senator Beverage, in pursu-

this story, the facts occurred as related
while the senator was at Nagasaki, Ja-

Japanese city is Mr.. Harris,
formerly of Wabash, Ind, and. like all
true Hoosiers, extremely proud of the
youth and good looks of Mr.. Beveridge.
1t happened that while the senator was
on Mr.. Harris, the transport

the Tenth Pennsylvania from Manila to
San Francisco, landed at Nagasaki.
of the officers went on shore and
to pay their respects TO Consul
Harris, whose consulate is at the top of
a hight OF high marble steps. relates the
Chicago Tribune. AS the officers went
up Senator Beverage came down. though
none of them knew who he was. After
receiving them warmly Consul Harris
said:
Did you see that young man who
passed you on the stairs? He is a Won
delful man. In fact, he is a United States

The Pennsylvanians at once took up
the cudgel o n behalf of Senator Penrose,
who was only 81 years old when he was
to the senate.
Why, there's Penrose," said one of the
officers. He was born in 1860 and he has
been IN the senate for at least two years"

mistaken. l know that Boies Penrose has
