Mr.. InxIosby's Drink.
CFrom the Detroit Free Press.)

(from the DetrO1t Free freSsD
1t was half past l yesterday afternoon
and Mr.. Fitzgerald Ingolsby wanted a
drink.
1t was just a drink of water that Mr..
Fitzgerald Ingolsby wanted, and he rose
from the swivel chair before the deck Of
his law office and crossed to the stationary
washstand In the corner.
He turned the faucet. No water came.
"Ah, ha," snarled Mr.. Ingolsby; stop
ped up, eh?"
And he went into the closet on the left
and came out with monkey wrench, a
hammer and a piece Of umbrella rib.
With the hammer he hit the faucet a
clip that turned it completely around un-
til the curved end Of the pipe pointed CELL
ingward. Then with the monkey wrench
he turned the handle away around.
He put aside both monkey wrench and
handle, and then. climbing up on top Of
the stand, closed one eye and with the
other peered down into the faucet. He
could see nothing.
Maybe it's mouse" he thought, doing
the same aloud. Then he rammed around
in the faucet little with the umbrella rib.
He struck nothing. Again he clambered
up on the stand and peered into the faucet
his eye glued to the snout Of the pipe. Be-
fore he could get it away, there was a rip,
a rush and a splash, and a stream of wa
ter as big around as your wrist and of a
pressure about 800 pounds to the inch
caught Mr.. Fitzgerald Ingolsby full in the
optic, nearly driving 1t back in his head.
For ten minutes a geyser rose to the CELL
ing In the once Of Mr.. Fitzgerald Ingols-
by.
He was able to get drink then.
The water had been turned on for ten
minutes at the pumping house while they
made some repairs, that was all, but Mr..
Fitzgerald Ingolsby swears he will sue the
company. along with few other swears.

EXPORTS TO CHINA
GREATER THAN EVER
American Trade With Celes.
tials Triples in a Decade.
A Gain Of Nearly Twenty-Five Per
Cent This Year.
InterestinE Comparative Tables Pre-
pared by the Treasury Bureau
of Statistics.

Exports of merchandise from the United
States to China in the fiscal year about to
end will be larger than those Of any pre-
ceding years in the country's history.
A decade ago the exports to China were
less than s., ,00O. goo, and to China and
Hongkong combined were little over &c.
000 900. In the fiscal years 1899 American
exports to China will be more than $13,-
900, 900 and to HOngkong more than &c.
100000, making a total to China and Hong
kong of over $20, COO. 600. or more than three
times as much as that Of decade earlier.
That the bulk Of the exports to Hongkong
may properly be considered as ultimately
destined for consumption in China is shown
by the fact that the official reports Of the
imports into China show that over A per
cent OF their imports are from the port Of
Hongkong The 1899 exports to China and
Hongkong combined will show a gain of
nearly or quite % per cent over those of
last year. while the total exports from the
United States for the fiscal year 1899 will
be little il any in. excess of those of last
year, thus showing a more rapid growth
in American exports to this particular
part OF the world than elsewhere.
The following table. prepared by the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics, shows the
value Of our exports to China and Hong
kong during the past decade:

II his people do not love him, surely he
might stir pity. He inspires neither pity
nor love. He passes unnOticed-that is
all.
The truth is he has never touched the
Spanish heart, and unless he be endowed
with unexpected tact and talent he is
never likely TO touch ii. The circum-
stances of his life have fought against his
success. In the first place, his appearance
arouses an instant antipathy. He is too
blond. his hair is too light. his forehead is
too high to correspond with the national
type. He is no Spaniard." says one citi-
zen in contempt; he is an Austrian" ="
Another asks Indignantly: Why should
we be ruled by pale-faced boy. who does
not seem to carry in his veins drop of
true Spanish blood?''F Again, he is placid,
almost inert, in his manner. His hand is
seldom raised in a gesture of excitement:
his eye does not burn with enthusiasm.
The true Spanish boy, said a detractor
once. is never still. So long as he has an
old rag in his hand he can play at bull
fighting in the streets. Or he need never
be dull II the side of house and tennis
ball suggest 4 game of pilota 10 his active
mind. At any rate. he must always be
running about or devising a new sport
The time will come soon enough when he
shall hide himself in the shade or gossip
idly at the street corner. But the young
King is never taken of his guard. He
seems overweighted with the duties of the
future. He is familiar enough to the in
habitants of Madrid, yet nobody ever saw
him run about, or laugh the gay empty
laugh of childhood.
Yet. II the Spaniard would but remem-
ber the past he should esteem the young
King for this very solemnity. Indeed. it
may be said that Alfonso XIII is only up
holding the tradition of his high office.
When Spain was mistress of the world
her kings held laughter a disgrace. and at
the end of the seventeenth century the
poor bride of Charles ii. who did not cas-
lily forget the manners Of her own French
court, was condemned to hatred for her
frank hilarity. But the Spaniard has eth
er forgotten his tradition or changed his
view. In his dislike Of the young King he
reproves the precocious dignity which the
contemporaries Of Philip " would have
esteemed above all the talents, and IL AL
fonso XIII is ever to win a national popu-
larity he must make some sudden change,

he would only profess an active admira-
tion OF bull fighting, or, better still, de-
scend into the ring. his future would be
secure. But he is never likely to kill an
Andalusian bull with his own hand, as did
Philip ". so he must keep patience and
wait upon luck.

The games at National Park between the
seantors and Pirates yesterday resulted
in a stand-off Each won and lost, but
their percentage columns were materially
increased nevertheless. Both clubs are SO
far down the line of contestants for pen
nant honors that if either OF them breaks
even in a series il counts itself lucky, and
therefore both Managers Irwin and Dono-
van are very well satisfied with yester-
days work. The first of the games was
won by the Pirates by the score OF IL to 1,
and the second went to the locals by the
score of 10 to 2.
Both Baker and Tannehill were hit hard
in the initial performance, and had it not
been for the miserable fielding of the Sena-
tors the contest might have ended differ
entity. Bonner was especially unfortunate
in his plays and in one attempt to cut
man off at the plate he hit Baker in the
back with the ball and came near putting
the pitcher out of the game in addition to
allowing the man TO score. The Senator's
second baseman had an OFF day that oc-
ours to all ball players, but his good work
at the bat and in the field since he Joined
the team entities him to some consider attn
at the hands OF the fans.
Donovan gave some exhibitions OF hit
ting and daring base running that SEEM
ed almost marvellous. He made four hits
during the game, and each time he reach
ed first base he scored a run Bowerman
caught a splendid game for the visitors
and in the sixth inning he went to the
players bench and got a foul fly from
. Padden's bat that seemed almost impos-
sible for him to reach. Mccarthy also dis
tinguished himself by a running catch OF a
long fly from Freeman's bat, and the left
fielder was heartily cheered by the crowd.
For the Senators Slagle and Freeman
played strong games in the field and at the
bat Baker caught a liner from Dono-
vans bat that looked as if it was bent on
a journey to the centrefield fence.
Irwin's men had not the slightest diff

land began the game in the box for the
Senators, but was replaced in the third by
weighing. The latter pitched cool. heady
game and the result was never in doubt.
Payne occupied the slab for the Pirates
for two innings, but he was not equal TO
the task of preventing the Washingtons
from pounding the sphere, and IL was not
long before he was asked TO abdicate in
favor of Hoffer. The change was not
beneficial to the Pirates chances, and they
were never dangerous. The Senators left

Mamma said the little girl who was
studying her Sunday school lesson, what
does 'atonement' mean?
Tell her how to look it up" advised
the little girls father, he being a man
who believed such methods impressed the
result on the memory better than a d.
rect answer.
The mother, however, thought of the va
rious heads and subbeads that come after
word of that importance In an un-
abridged dictionary. SO she considerably
remarked:
There's small school dictionary in my
room that will tell you all about it. I'll
find the place for you
The book was brought and the place
found. and the book then turned over to
the child without further comment.
For several minutes there was silence
and then came the agonized enquiry.
Mamma, what does 'ree-ree-pay-ray

What's that, dear?" enquired her moth
er.
"Oh, 1 can't pronounce it," answered the

ONE IN EVERY rouR.

From Piles.


From Piles.
About one person in every four suffers
from some form Of rectal disease. The
most common and annoying is itching
piles, Indicated by warmth. slight moist
ure, and intense. uncomfortable itching in
the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some SIM
pie ointment or salvc which sometimes
give temporary relief, but nothing like a
permanent cure can be expected from such
superficial treatment.
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile
Cure, not only for itching piles, but for
every other form of piles, blind, bleeding.
or protruding. The first application gives
instant relief. and the continued use for
a short time causes a permanent removal
Of the tumors or the small parasites which
cause the intense itching and discomfort
OF itching piles
Many physicians for a long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief afforded
by the Pyramid Pile Cure was because 1t
was supposed to contain cocaine, opium,
or similar drugs, but such is not the case.
A recent careful analysis of the remedy
showed 1t to be absolutely free from any
cocaine. opium, or in fact any poisonous,
injurious drugs whatever. Sold by drug

To Launch the Columbia mt Dusk.

Bristol, r. l., May 20.-It is learned that
Columbia, the new cup-defender now in
course of construction at the Herreshof
works here, will be launched just at dusk
on the evening of June s. The tide will be
high at o'clock on that day, and it is un-
derstood that the reason for selecting the
evening as the time for launching is to
prevent witnesses from taking photo
graphs Of the boat, thus securing true
print of the lines which, after the launch
ing, will be concealed by the water.
Deer Isle. Me-. May 20.-Ten Of the crew
of the new up-defender Columbia left here
today for New Rochelle, n. Y, where they
will put Columbia's tender in commission,
and prepare her for work in connection
with the trials and races during the sum-
mer. The tender will be used principally
as quarters for the men. The crew also
will have their meals served on the smaller
boat.
