An Automobile Fire Engine.

Paris fremen have been out making
successful experiments with the auto
motor constructed especially for the
service of the pompiers, after the plans
of Colonel Krebs. The vehicle, which
is painted red. with six men on board,
went for several miles along the quay
in the direction of Notre Dame Cathe-
dral. 1t accomplished the journey
backward and forward in a very ex-
peditious manner, and without a hitch.
The motor may be seen in the fire brig
ade station near the law courts on the
Boulevard du Palais. The officers Of
the establishment in question believe
that the new cars which are in course
of construction will enable fremem to
answer calls in half the time required
by horses.-Paris correspondence of The

OUR EXPORTS AND IMPORTS.

July kept up the prosperous credit of
the country as to foreign trade splend-
idly and gave TO the calamityites an
other body blow. The exports of the
nation not only did not fall below the
values of the same month in last year,
but increased by almost four a half
millions of dollars in breadstuffs. four
and three-quarter millions Of dollars in
provisions, over two and half millions
In cotton, and half million in mineral
oils, making for staples alone a gain
Of more than twelve and a quarter
millions values.
But this was not all. In July our
manufactured exports mainly amount
ed in value to $9,356, ,46s excess over
any month in the preceding year. Those
who have predicted that the advance
in prices must result in dininution of
this class of exports are thus proved
to be unreliable prophets. So then, our
domestic exports for the month of July
rose to the handsome sum of .S92, ,95S.-
46S, or $21. 707, ,623 in excess of those
Of July, 1898. But we do not pause
here in citing the evidences of national
progress in foreign trade as shown by
the July reports. Our increase in i'm

On the afternoon in question he had
gone down into his stateroom to take
a nap. It was terribly hot, and before
lying down he removed his spotless
white canvas coat, trousers ana cap.
Half an hour afterward an orderly
hurried down to announce tnat the
launch of the Captain OF the BRUSH
ship Immortalite was alongside the
Olympia. Half asleep, Lieut.. Brumpy
put on his coat and hat and rushed on

ships between 10 o'clock in the morn

sequently, most of the crew was on

They took one look at the dasning
young Lieutenant and then burst into
a laugh which not even naval dlsclpllne
could restrain. The Lieutenant hurried
below decks for his trousers, While an
other officer temporarily took his place
in the reception Of the guests.-Pltts-

Governor Cages removal of the ad-
ministration at Agnew's asylum will
be indorsed and commended by all good
citizens. The wonder is that such a
head as the Governor describes the late
Medical Superintendent at the asylum
to be, should have ever been placed
in charge. 1t would seem impossible
in the light of facts cited by the present
Governor, that his predecessor could
have been unaware of the moral unfit
ness of the recent incumbent. Either
Governor Gage has uttered a monstrous
libel, and has brought the high office
he fills TO the work of the most cruel
injustice, or the placing of such a man
as Sponogle at the head of the insti-
tuition was itself next door to official
criminality. The people have a right
TO expect that over the unfortunate
wards Of the State in the insane asy-
lums there viii be placed men and wo-
men Of high character, special skill,
merciful hearts and clean hands. In
competency and brutal disregard of the
rights Of the unfortunates in the asy-
lums given charge over the helpless in
mates Of these institutions is little less
than criminal action.

Barkeepers' Economy.

The hog slaughtering establishment,
where everything is utilized except the
grunt, is not the only place where
economy is practised and where a
waste of raw material is considered q
| crime. The modern bar-especially
the one from which drinks are sent to
table guests-is not far from first place
IN point OF economical Housekeeping,
and many people who enjoy summer
beverages would avoid them If they
| knew some, of the bar secrets.
The Well posted man never allows a
straw to remain whole in his julep glass
after he has finished his drink, because
the thrifty barkeeper might happen to
! slip 1T into another mans glass. He
breaks it, and makes its further use
| impossible. But there are other things
| that he allows to remain in the glasses
in which his toddy, lemonade or cock
tail is served, which are more value to
| the barkeeper than the straw. Slices
! of lemon, orange or pineapple, berries
| cherries or lemon peel are often used
second hand, simply because the person
to whom they Were originally served
did not make the practice impossible.
| At an uptown restaurant one warm

of the assertion that one lemon peel

man cut his monogram on the spiral
rind with which a beverage on his
table was ornamented: then, calling a
waiter, he ordered another round
same as the last
! When the drinks were served the
people in the party waited until the
waiter was out of sight, and then, re-
moving the lemon peel from the glass
in front of the woman who had the
horses neck habit the man looked for
the mark, but could not find it. He was
laughed at and called one of those un-
comfortable, f1nicky persons who always
find disagreable things at restaurants
and other public tables 1t was a de-
cided defeat by which the tottering
reputation Of the house was firmly re-
established.
| The party was still laughing at the
| faultf1nder when, at a table next to the
one at which they sat, a horses neck
was served. The kicker kept his eye
on the drink as long as it lasted, and
when he saw the last Of it disappear he
went to the table and asked one of the
men if he had any objection to his TAX
| ing the glass with the lemon peel. "Of
| course not" the man said, Wonderingly,
and smiled as the other removed the
glass to the next table. Then he pulled
the damp, dripping yellow spiral from
the depths of the glass, and said, MAY
be it's here" and there, where he had
cut it, at the big end, was his peculiar
crosslike monogram. The men said,
| well, I'll be -" the woman thought

THE JEW IN FRANCE.

If there is an anti-Semitic revolution
in France and expulsion of the Jews,
which is by no means improbable.
America will doubtless receive a large
proportion of them. But this is to be
said, that in the United States the
Jew has proved to be a law abiding and
q good citizen. We have seen no rea-
son to reject him or any other on ac-
count of religious faith. The French
Jews are among the most cultured and
refined of their race. They have been
the mainstays of France financially in
many an hour of trial. and their ex-
pulsion will prove a decided loss TO
the state that sends them out.
Mr.. Kiss. in his recent review of
the Jew in the slum tenements of New
York, where they are found in the low
est condition known to any of the faith,
says that they are the victims of en-
vironment, and with all that may be
said against them in that condition, they
have consuming thirst for knowledge,
and large proportion of them rise out
Of their lowly condition, shake off the
attachments of the quarter and free
themselves from the crushing degreda-
tion of the East Side slums.
1t is not the Jew of this order, how
ever, over whom France is agitated.
but the thrifty and stirring of the race
who come to the front, enter the pro-
LESSONS, the army, political life, and
take leading positions in business. A
recent writer on the subject who ex-
amined into the French prejudice
against the Jew says that in fact France
has nothing to complain Of and that
hers is an unreasoning racial prejudice,
that can not fortify itself behind any
facts showing that the French Jew is
disloyal, disturber. a revolutionist,
a lawless citizen. or one who retards
the growth of the state
On the contrary France in art, man
ufactures, architecture, finance, COM
merce, science and the professions,
owes very much of her high rank to
her Jewish citizens, far more than they
owe TO France since they have always
in that country been the victims of
more or less oppression, ridicule anu
hatred.

1t is suggested that the one thing of
all others for the French Government
TO do now to establish the confidence of
the people should have in it is to speed
lily proceed to the prosecution of the al
legged conspirators whom it has caused
to be arrested. 1t is probable that
the Government did not order the ar
rests until it was in possession of ample
evidence of guilt 1t certainly would
be wise. therefore, to proceed at once
with the prosecutions. 1t would divert

LOW SENSE OF JUSTICE.

Cavaignac is rather unhappy in his
citation of documentary evidence
against Dreyfus. The other day along
with a lot of other forgeries he intro
duced before the court martial letter
which he alleged had been written by
Panizzardi, attache of the Italian le-
cation, in which it was implied that
Captain Dreyfus had intimate relations
with the attaches of the German En-
bassy. No sooner was this published
than Panizzardi sat himself down at
Ems and telegraphed to the President
of the court that the alleged letter was
an inpudent forgery: that he had never
seen Dreyfus and never heard of him
trial. But what is to be expected in a
country where one of the most distin-
guished officers Of the army. Lieuten-
nt-ColoneI Henri de Contencin. pub
fishes a letter in which he says of
Dreyfus: Were he a thousand times
innocent, and were his sufferings ever
so heartrending, what is the unde-
served suffering of one man compared
with the safety of France?" In the

The New York WORLD says the Re-

already sawed, planed and prepared for
delivery. This plank, it AYERS, is one
proposing certain notifications in the

that, it is indeed in need of a guardian
to prevent it making a fool OF
itself. The trust question is not a
party one, and it is folly to assert that
the Republican party will attempt to
make it one OF course, the trust ques
tion will be referred to, because the
opposition has insisted upon charging
whatever there is of i'll in the trusts

one clause of the Republican plank is
to express the doctrine that the trusts
should be dealt with by the States only.

NOTED against Objectionable trusts
