COT SOME ENGLISH TRADE.
During the South African War the United
States Have ProRted.

During the South african war inc uhteo
States Have ProAted.
In this practical world there is moth
ing quite so great as a great opportu-
nifty.
During the past twelve months much
has occurred in England. More than
100000 troops, the flower Of British
manhood, have been chasing Beers in
South Africa, and have been causing
the government to spend millions of
dollars a day, and to lay the hand Of
taxation heavily upon the people.
With the absence Of part Of England's g
working force and with the presence
of the financial problem the sharp
witted American saw his chance. This
has happened not only in regard to
the transportation problem in London,
not only in respect to the charters for
trolley lines in the other cities Of Eng
land, Scotland and Wales; but also In
respect to the building Of large indus
tries on American plans and the"profit-
able employment of American capital.
England made millions out Of our
Civil war and did not lose anything In
our war with Spain. Now 1t Is the
turn of the United States.
In round numbers we are now send
ing from our shores $4,0O0,0OO worth Of
exports every day. OF this over $1,OOO,-
900 per day Is in manufactured goods.
Take the increase by decades. The
figures given are quoted from state
ment from the treasury department.:
I'm 1860 the exports Of manufacturers
averaged $3,5O0,O0O per month; In 1870
they were a little over $5,O0O,OOO per
month; in 1880 they were less than s1O,-
OOOO0O per month; in 1890 they were
$12, 500, 900 per month"; in 1899 they were
$2S, ,0OO, 900 per month; and In the fiscal
year 1900 $4,000, 900 per month" More
than ree-fourths Of these exports go
to Europe.
In big things this country leads so
markedly that sometimes 1t hardly
seems that it has any competition. in
wealth it Is at least 25 per cent. ahead
Of any other nation. In coal and other
resources 1t has a paramountcy-to
borrow a word from our current poll
tics-which towers beautifully. In the
annual products Of it's manufactured
Industries it is nearly so per cent.

KNEW HIS BUsINEss.-In days gone
by, in a country town, there lived and
wrought stonecutter who, besides be-
ing reckoned skilful in designing tomb
stones, was also credited with a crit
ical taste in the epitahs inscribed
thereon.
Being requested by the disconsolate,
weeping relict of one Of his fellow
,townsmen to place on the slab Of her
dear departed the words, my sorrow
is greater than I can BEAR" he took
care to space them 'out so that an ad-
dendum was possible, and was by no
means surprised at her visiting him a
few months after to ask him, as she
was about to remarry, to efface the
inscription and substitute a more fit
ting one.
mo need Of that, marm," was the
reply. IT always looks to the contin-
gencies where there's widdies lef. All
that's wanted to the inscription on that
tomb is jes' to add the word alone" -

SUSPICION REGARDING THOSE FRANCS
Officials, public or semi-public, come In

abusing the management Of the relief
committee in the most artistic billings
gate, using the whole dictionary OF
profanity and coming few words and
phrases all his own. Finally, to wind
up the conversation and bring fitting
climax to 1t all, the Italian was heard
to comment:
President Loubay, the president o
France, he giva twent, thousa' franc
for de flood suf. Whata go WI de

"Can you make me beautiful?"

such an easy matter.

steady and arduous inquiry. And
thereby hangs a tale. which, 1t is said,

his great subject, there was strange
conversation:

Dogs. madam? I really must plead

HEROISM DISPLAYED BY FIRE
MEN.
Aged Couple Rescued from Burning
Building on Washington Avenue


Aged Couple Rescued from Burning
Building on Washington Avenue.
A fire in the millinery store of Mrs.
Pauline Freedman at rs Washington ave-
nue. yesterday morning afforded fine
instance of the bravery Of New Haven
firemen and signally distinguished Lieu
tenant Redmond of company No. l and
Firemen Augustus Staude and John
East both of company No. 2.
The cause of the blaze is a mystery,
as at the time it was discovered the en-
tire store was on fire. BY the time the
firemen arrived quick work was neces-
sary in order to gain control of it. The
front rooc on the top floor of the build
ing was used as tailoring shop and
was occupied by Samuel Sohn with his
four children. All of these escaped safe
ly from the burning building, but it was
not until the firemen had arrived that
the cry went UP that there were per
sons still in the building. The second
floor was used by Aaron Rosenthal and
MS Wlle, al dSeu tUuplc, dS llNiliS dpe'i y
ments, and in back room the old man
lay helpless on a bed suffering from
pneumonia, while his wife, almost dazed
from fright and a sufferer from heart
disease, was unable to aid him.
Firemen Staude and East were the
first ones to reach the room when the
cry went up, and, lifting the old man
from his bed, with much difficulty they
bore him through the sitting, binding
smoke to the street Lieutenant Red
mond, not far behind, bore the mani
mate form of the woman in his arms,
and with no less difficulty he succeeded
in reaching the sidewalk with his bur
den. The act of all three firemen was
brave one and ELECTED the admiration of
a large crowd of by-etanders.
The fire was ultimately controlled, al
though considerable damage was done
by water It is understood that the
property was quite fully insured.

DENIED By MIR. MARGOLIS.

Pinkus Margolis OF the SlXth ward
stated last night that the statement
published in an afternoon paper yester-
day to the effect that Walter Leigh
had offered him $40 for the copy of an
agreement alleged to have been made
with Margolia by Edward A. Rourke
during the municipal campaign year
ago was false in every particular Mr..
Margolis said that Mr.. Leigh made no
such offer to him. The alleged agree
ment was that Margolis was to be ap-
pointed a member of the police force in
consideration for work in the primary.
