Mr.. KrOusISOH Despairs of Getting
Uniform Walks on SOuthside.
Ex-Alderman Krouskoff regrets that the
building of brick walks in the south side
the past week makes the possibility of
uniform sidewalks thing of the past. 1t
seems a number of brick walks have been
laid and no odds how many artificial stone
walks are now put down, the uniformity
is gone.
1t was the desire of Mr.. Krouskoff that
the controlling feature of his ordinance
would not be wiped out, but it seems some
wanted the cheaper material, and have
adopted ID, regardless of what their neigh
bors will use. Several property owners
who are now putting down artificial stone
have promised to furnish me statements
of the cost" said Mr.. Krouskoff. by these
statements / fully expect to show that the
difference in the cost of brick and that of
artificial stone does not make it a saving
TO use the cheaper material
There is some talk of Iessenlng the width
of the walks on Seventh street, under the
present ordinance, from nine to seven feet.
II Is understood property owners have ask
ed TO have this amendment made to the
ordinance, but nothing has yet been done
in this direction. No steps will likely be
taken until the request is formally brought
TO the attention of Council.

Tallahassee, Fla, April 23-Busiuess in
legislative circles has been unusually quiet

last Wednesday. But the senatorship is
not the only pebble on the legislative
beach. There are others, and some stir

sion progresses.
An important development from the re-
suit of the senatorial campaign at ITALIA
hassee is said to be the appearance OF
seven gubernatoriali candidates. which in
dicates that Florida Democrats may look
for lively politics until the nominating
conventions are held in 1900 Il Is thought
that possibly other candidates were born

The Ladies' Memorial Association and

veil the imposing shaft a year hence.
The sale here of cider of sufficient
strength to produce intoxieation will be

it is believed that straight whisky is be-

BANNER YEAR FOR EXPORTS.
EXCEEDED OUR IMPORTS AT THE
RATIO of TWO TO ONE.

Balance in Favor of the United
States Was More Than 5000, OOO,-
O0O-ImpOrts Were the Smallest
Since 1SS5-Largest Shipments
From America Were of Agricul-
turRI PrOducts-Trade of 1SoS Far
Surpassed That of 1897.
Washington, April 2S.-The fiscal year Of
1898 was the banner year of the foreign
trade of the United States, our exports
being the largest ever recorded for a like
period and our imports exceptionally
small.
According to a comprehensive report
just prepared by Mr.. Frank H. Hitch
cock. chief of the section of foreign mar
kets of the agricultural department, the
total value of our domestic exports reach
ed the enormous sum of 81 ,2lO, 291,91S, ex-
ceedng the record breaking figures of the
preceding year by SIS, 284 $40.
On the other hand the imports during
1898 were the smallest since 1885, their
value being $6l6 049,654, decline of $iS,-
6SO75S from the figures of 1887
Broadly stated. for every dollars worth
of foreign merchandise brought into the
United States two dollars worth of our
products found a market abroad. Our do
nestle exports as compared with our inn
ports showed an excess of 1894. 242, 259, or
more than twice the excess for 1897, which
was the largest previously reported.
An interesting fact developed by the re-
port of Mr. Hitchcock is the increase in
the exports of agricultural products, be-
ing 1898 per cent. of the total, or 1855, 5O7, :
9i2, gain of nearly % per cent. over
1897. Exports of this class also show a
greater gain proportionately than non-ag-
ricultural exports.
Our purchases of foreign agricultural
products in 1898 amounted 90 only S314.-
29l 1895, as compared with $4OO, 81, 1853 in 1897,
a decrease of $S6,579672 or about % per
cent.
The value of the American farm pro-
duce sent abroad during 1893 was much
more than double that of our agricultural
imports, the excess of the former over the
latter amounting to 1854, 216,146 In 1897 the
excess on the side of the agricultural ex-
ports was only S2SS, SS3, US, and in the
years Immediately preceding still smaller

CHURCH WORK PROGRESSING.
SCuthside baptist Church Has Had
Numerous AccessiOns.

Numerous AccessiOns.
The missionary work of the Southside
Baptist Church, which was organized last
Sunday and is now located in rented
rooms at the corner of Whitaker and
Third streets, is progressing most favora-
bly,. There were several accessions to the
church on the day of its organization.
and there were several others yesterday.
These accessions and the deep and evident
interest that the members are taking in the
church work encourage the pastor and
those who have been his most active CO.
adjutors and assistants in the hope that
glorious destiny and large and constant
ly increasing power for good awaits the
Southside Church in the future.
AT the morning services next Sunday
there will be an election for pastor and
board of deacons. 1t is currently believed,
and, indeed, taken almost as a matter of
course, that Rev. D. s. Edenfeld who
has been acting as pastor during the days
of the church's formation into a separate
religious body and its assumption of reg
ular religious work and duties, will be
elected formally to the pastorate. 1t was
proposed to elect the pastor at the organi-
cation of the church a week ago but it
was deferred until next Sunday at the re-
quest of Mr.. Edenfeld, who wished the
members to have the fullest opportunity
for reflection and prayer for guidance in
coming to right decision and in making
a right choice, before they were called
upon to select a pastor and church officers
The members of the church expect to
begin the erection of an edifice some time
during the summer, just when and where
has not yet been definitely determined. The
building Will be erected some where in the
section of The city contiguous to that now
used as a place of worship, and several
sites are being considered. AS in the mat
ter of the selection of a pastor it is not
desired to make a hurried choice in the
selection of a site, but to consider calmly
and at length the advantages offered by
the various sites now in view and accept
one or reject them all, as is thought will
best rebound to the interests of the church
in the future.
