Victory for Princeton.

Princeton, N. j., Nov. 19.--Princeton
defeated Washington and Jefferson uni
versity by a score of Go yesterday af-
ternoon. The Princeton boys went into
the game expecting to run away with
their opponents, but found that they
had to play their hardest to even score.
The hero of the day was Hutchinson,
Princeton's doughty little quarterback,
who made several beautiful runs, and
In addition tackled like a fiend. Prince
toms line was invunerable, holding to-
gether in wonderful fashion, but the
aggressive work must be greatly i'm

down the field on long run by Hutch

OF the first ten months only These
were in 1890, 81, '92, '9S and '95. But in
three of those five years, namely, '9l.
'92 and '93. our exports exceeded our
imports. Today the exports exceed the
imports by more than so per cent, and
the gain in imports does not, as In
former times, mean an increase in de-
pendence upon foreign supplies but a
utilization Of foreign raw materials in
our manufactures for profitable export.
We buy certain rough goods abroad,
make up what We buy into finished
products and then sell those products
to foreigners, keeping the profits at
home. The dream Of the fathers is
being realized. America is becoming

Two Billion a Year.

N HENOMENAL increases in our
- foreign trade have become
II so common of late as no
longer to excite surprise;
yet the facts presented in a recent
bulletin of the bureau of statistics de-
serve attentive study since they indi-
cate that the present year Is to be a
record breaker by carrying our for
eign commerce beyond the $4,000, 900, 900
mark.
From Jan. to Nov. our exports
have been I029,242, ,OOO against $751;
$4,000 for the corresponding ten
months last year. This remarkable
increase, the bulletin points QUE is the
more surprising because of the absence
of the excessive demand abroad for
our breadstuffs which characterized
the year 1898. In that year the short
crops abroad and plentiful supplies of
breadstuffs of all kinds in the United
States resulted in an abnOrmally large
expectation of breadstuffs, so that the
expectation of agricultural products in
the present year naturally falls about
$35, 600 below that of the CORES
ponding period of last year. Yet the
total expectations for the ten months
are, as already indicated, more than
$4,000 coo in excess of those OF last
year. An examination of the detailed
figures of the nine months of the year
already accessible shows that the ex-
ports Of manufactures in that period
were S50,0OOOOO in excess of those of
the corresponding months Of the pre-
ceding year, and s65,OOO,OOO greater
than those of the same months of 1897,
while the products of the mine were
p S4,000,000 greater than those of the cor
. responding months of last year, and
. those of the forest $6,OOO,0OO in excess
of -the corresponding months of the
Z preceding year Thus the years ex-
4. portation of agricultural productions
VIII be quite up to the normal, while
, those of manufacture, mining and for
estry will exceed those of last year and,
' indeed, Of any year in our history.
. The total importation in the ten
months ending with October, 1899, Is
S65S $4,000, against $527, ,734 900 in the
>
, This large increase in importations is
; chiefly in supplies for the manufac-
turers, whose increased exports are al
ready noted, and in foodstuffs which
% cannot be produced at home. The in
= crease in importatlons of material for
use of manufacturers including crude
and partially manufactured, was in
= the nine months ending with Septem-
ber S5OOOO, 900, a sum just equallng the
increase in expectations OF manufac-
lures during that time. In foodstuffs
the increase in importations during
the nine months was in round terms
sSs,0OOOUv, of which nearly $4,000, ,OOI
was in sugar, the increase in impor'

Columbia 90 Dartmouth O.

New York. Nov 19.-Columbia played
strong, hard foot ball yesterday and
administered a crushing defeat to Dart
mouth, the result of the game being
22-0.
The score would have been much
larger had it not been for the magnifi-
cent punting of Dartmouth's fullback,
Proctor, and the clever playing Of
Rogers and OConnor. Weeks, who
played such a star game for Columbia
against Yale, was again the hero of
the day, making two touchdowns one
of them from a 9O-yard run. Morley
and Bruce also played strong games
for Columbia.

The New Naval Programme.

HE DECISION of the naval
construction board to rec
Il ommend to congress the
building of three armored
cruisers Of 1880 tons displacement,
three protected cruisers of 5000 tons,
six light-draft gunboats OF 1000 tons
and six gunboats of 500 tons each ap-
peals Immediately to public approval.
Including the boats now building, the
United States has for the present
enough battleships. Warships of the
Indiana type, good only for about IL
knots on the average, are useful in
action when once an enemy's fleet is
cornered; but with outlying territories
extending into both hemispheres and
vast sea spaces to traverse the neces-
sty for speed becomes far superior to
the need of heavy armor sheathing.
The recent war exploded effectually the
opinion once dominant in congressional
circles that our requirement in war
craft was limited to purposes of sea-
board defense. The old notion that we
must await the enemy's approach and
give him battle under the shelter OF
land fortifications has been abandoned.
Americans realize now that they must
have a navy sufficiently large and
swift to administer. in case Of war; the
| first vigorous blows and defend by i'm
mediately taking the aggressive. The
| Santiago fight taught that thirteen
inch armor plate is more of a nuisance
than a benefit; that speed and good
| gun fire are far safer. Hence the fast
cruiser is properly emphasized in the
recommendations for future construc-
ton; and instead of three more Brook
lyns we ought really to have a dozen.
The gunboat type of ship is for police
service in shallow waters, and in recon-
mending the building of twelve new
ships of this type the board evidently
adopted without modification the ex-
pert advice of Admiral Dewey. Ves-
sells of this kind are an absolute neces-
sity of our new responsibilities ip the
West and East Indies.

The Berliner Klinische Wochensch-
rift calls attention to an evil that
threatens to seriously impair the at
fractions of the devotees at the feet
Of the goddess of fashion, in pointing
out the fact that an abnormal redness
of the nose is one Of the sure conse-
quences of wearing n veil in winter.
This writer states that the effects upon
the face of the fair wearer are pro-
nounced at those points where the veil
Is most intimately applied to the skin.
This is due to the mechanical action
of the sharp and rough texture upon
a sensitive cuticle and to the in
fuence of the watery vapor which col
lects within its meshes and prevents
evaporation. AS the application of the
veil has similar effects upon the cheeks
many will probably still cling to the
mask Of netting in order that the
bloom of youth may be counterfeited
uron other portions Of the face. At
present the question is one full of per-
| pleXites and it is impossible to arrive
at any solution other than through the
| designing of a veil having an aperture
of sufficient dimensions to allow the
end of the nose to protrude.
The recent hold-up OF lot Of game
at Mauch Chunk by an officer of the
Pennsylvania game association was a
step in the right direction and is cheer
| ing evidence that some of the game
wardens Of the state are alive to duty.
The game, which had been killed near
Stevensville, Bradford county, by a lot
of pot hunters from Mt. Vernon, n.
y, was being shipped to the New York
markets when overhauled on a Lehigh
Valley train. 1t is understood that this
gang of poachers has been travelling
about the country and by the aid OF
pack Of twenty dogs, has made small
game scarce in every locality visited
BY the time they have settled the ex-
pense attending their present arrest
it is probable that the Mt. Vernon pot
hunters will conclude that there are
other occupations more profitable.
