Clever Plans to Cheat the New York

CINCINNATI. Ohio, Oct. 13.-A carefully
planned scheme TO get the better OF the
many poolrooms in New York by gang
Of Eastern sharpers has been foiled by
the watchfulness of the Latonia officials

that a confederate could signal the win

a long g-distance telephone put in their room

THE GROWTH OF EXPORTS
Statistics of Eight Months Indicate
a Large Increase.
The Calendar Year 1890 Expected to
Make the Largest Showing in
Amerfca's Commercial History.
Greater Shipments of Manufac-
lures and Agricultural Products.

Present indications, it is said by the
belief that the exports of the calendar year
1899 will be the largest in Americas his
| tory. The total for the eight months end
ing with August showed an excess of twelve
million : dollars over the corresponding
months of 1898, which was the largest cal
endar year in Americas exporting history,
and the September statement of breadstuffs.
provisions, cottons, and mineral oils, Just
issued by the Bureau of Statistics, shows
for those four classes alone an excess OF
| twelve million dollars over September OF
last year. When to this is added the fact
that the exports of manufactures are now
much larger than at this time last year and
that even in the re-exportation of foreign
goods the figures of this year exceed those
of last, it seems probable that the calendar
year 1899 will show a larger total of ex-
ports than that OF any proceeding year.
The increase in expectations shown by
the figures of the eight completed months
is chiefly in manufactures. While the ex-
portation of agricultural products is
heavy, it is naturally and almost neces-
sarily below that OF the corresponding
months of 1898 when the shortage IN crops
abroad gave unusually high prices as well
as an unusual demand. The average price
of wheat exported in the eight months
ending with August, 1899, has been 10
cents per bushel, against an average OF
over 81 per bushel in the corresponding
months of 1898. In the eight months end
ing with August, 1898, the export of wheat
amounted to S1,373,S2S bushels with
valuation of sS1 ,527 ,S31. while in the eight
months ending with August, 1899, the ex-
portations of wheat were II, ,5l0,S43, valued
at $53. .S52, ,S22; and in corn there has been
slight reduction in quantity exporte1,
though no material change in price, while
in cotton the average price has been
slightly in excess of that OF last year.
Illustrating the growth in the exporta-
tion of articles other than those included
under the general term Of agricultural
products. the following table shows the
value OF the principal manufactures and
other articles advanced beyond the natu-
raj state exported in the eight months cad
ing with August, 1899, compared with
those of the corresponding months OF the
preceding year:

TALKING AND LISTENING.
The Tyranny of the MonoIOsist Said
TO BE Passing
Frorn the London Globe }


1t was one Of DR.. Jonnson's many good
points that. although he could be over
bearing and rude he could also listen.
Naturally the lions share of the talk often
fell to his lot, and just as naturally
whether he talked much or little, he in
evitably dominated the conversation-all
this was in the nature OF things-but John
son was not a mOnologist. He led, he
often dominated and somtimes domineerec,
but he also listened, and thoroughly un-
derstood that the good talk which his SOul
loved involved give and take, exchange
of ideas the power to listen as well as
speak. The exchange may not always be
on quite equal terms. Was it not Heine
who, when a friend found him ususually
dull one day explained with sarcastic in
tent that he had been exchanging thoughts
with Professor So and So? The Herr Pro-
fessor, one may be sure, had the best of
that exchange But when takers meet on
fairly equal terms exchange is of the es-
sence of the art OF both taking and lis
tening.
On the whole, one is inclined to think
that the supposed disappearance of the art
of conversation is a delusion. What has
really disappeared is the tyranny Of the
monologist; and for this relief we may
say with the Danish soldier much
thanks" II Is difficult to believe that were
any latter day Macaulay, for example, to
rise, cramped with information on every
conceivable subject, with relentless mem
ory stored with all kinds of useful and
useless knowledge, and endowed with a
fatally fluent and cruelty copious gift of
speech-it is difficult, we say, to believe
that such one would be able to command
or retain an audience, or to dominate and
monopolize talk in the way that the great
Whig essayist was accustomed TO do. Or
to take another example-Mrs Austin
wrote to NJ. Barthelemy St. Hilaire, in
January, 1862, that a lady correspondent
of hers at Cannes had written to say that
Victor Cousin, the well-known philoso-
pher, talked the other day without stop
ping for four hours Would the perpe-
tration Of such harangue nowadays find
an audience as patient as that of forty
years ago?
The victims of the monologists were pa
tient listeners, but they kicked OCCASION
ally; moreover, their sense of humor was
pleasantly titillated when they beheld two
great takers thrown together by chance or
social circumstances, and saw how one
dominated the other, and how the other,
accustomed himself to dominate. writh-
ed under the novel discomfort of being him.

THE SOLDIERS PAID.
The Forty-Seventh Regiment to Start
for Manila Soon

HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct 13.-Maior H.
R. Belknap, United States Army paymas-
ter, has begun paying the officers and
men of the Forty-first and Forty seventh
Regiments at Camp Meade. This will be
the last pay the troops will receive at the
camp, as by November 1 they will be en-
route for the Philippines.
Orders have been given for one bat
TALON of the Forty-seventh to go to Mount
Gretna for practice at the State rifle range
and it will start Monday. 1t is hoped that
at least two of the battalions will have
had a chance at the ranges before the
orders come for the regiment to start The
orders are expected within a week. and the
probabilities are that the Forty seventh
will be the first to go, as 1t is complete,
the Forty y-frst being still short of its
quota.

Protecting the Public Against scnIp.
erS.

The railroads running to Chicago have
been obliged TO take extraordinary meas
ures to overcome the forgeries and Other
crimes committed by ticket scalpers.
Heretofore the stamps and signatures re-
quired on return tickets sold at reduce 4
rates TO large gatherings have been freely
counterfeited by the "scalpers,' or ticket
brokers. and the work was SO skiIlfulIy
done as to readily deceive conductors.
The companies have now devised a spacial
seal with an embossed design similar to the
lathe work used on paper money, and this
has been copyrighted. If this seal is .coun-
terfeited the culprits will be prosecuted In
the United States courts. Heretofore
prosecutions of this kind have been in
State courts. where the money and infiu-
ence of the rich brokers had more or less
effect. They will not SO readily risk prose
cution in the Federal courts. But what a
comment on our laws is found in the ne
cessity of the roads which have to adopt
such measures to protect themselves from
wholesale fraud. Congress should wipe
the parasitical scalpers out OF existence.
as has already been done in Pennsylvania.

self listener by compulsion. A Spanish
proverb says: Two great takers will not
travel far together" Greville records with
humorous appreciation of the position how,
when he was at Bowood in December 1S41,
Macaalay and Samuel Rogers were among
his fellowguests. The formers flow was
lnexhaustible, always amusing and in
structive, about everybody and everything" :"
Never certainly, says Greville, was any

loved 10 hold forth, and the diarist remarks
upon the droll effect which Macaulay's
dominance had upon the banker-poet, who
is nearly extinguished, and can neither
make himself heard nor find an Interval

ton for a luminary, accustomed to shine
brightly in circle of his own, TO find the
light nearly eXtinguished'' by the greater
brilliance of a rival. Greville prophesied
that Rogers would revive when Macaulay
went, and then later-when that event
happened-recorded that Rogers was moi
only all alive again. but that the other
