The Moros could not understand where

OF their stay they went around from one

GERMANY'S TRADE.
EXPORTS FOR LAST QUARTER
AMOUNT TO SIS, 1O6 900.
Many Germans Dependent Upon Trade
For Their Support-Facts and
Figures.

Washington, May 23.-Vice Consul
Murphy at M~agdeburg has transmitted
to the state department an extract from
a German publication of recent date,
containing facts and figures which indi-
cate strongly the prime importance of
Germany's trade with the United States.
A statement of the exports to the
United States from the consul districts
in Northern Germany alone for the first
quarter of 1900 is shown as amounting to
SIS, log, 900. The amount is nearly double
the value of the exports during the first
quarter of 1898. These figures are for
Northern Germany alone. When the
are added the total is estimated at about
S142, 500, 900.
How many thousands of Germans are
now dependent upon this trade for their
support says the article, would be
without bread if it We're suddenly to
stop? In the trade with The United
States, Germany has won an important
matter of goods exported to the United
States last year. In 1898. the United
States imported $40, 700, 600 worth of sugar
from Germany. The amount of sugar in
by-gone years that had been sent from
Germany to the United States has carried
| with the crops. in favorable years as
much as S23. 500, 900 worth being exported
sugar. the article states. twill continue
provided peaceful and friendly relations
are maintained in the United States. But
if the Americans are forced 1a.o retalia-
ton by the strict enforcement of the
meat inspection law and friendly trade
relations are ruptured the expectation
of German sugar to the United States
Will come to a stop and Germany will be
left without a purchaser for the enormous

NEGRO. LYNCHED
CoLoRED RAPE FIEND STRUNG UP
By mon.
MURDERED TWO WHITE GIRLS.
Was Captured in Denver-Crowd Over
powered the offcers-Rope
Broke Twice.

Pueblo, Colo. May 22.-Feeling against
a criminal was never SO intense as it is
q Calvin Kimblern, who murdered
Two little white girls at the Frels' orphan
home last Sunday morning and whorwas
captured in Denver to-day. EKimblern
will be certainly lynched if he IS brought
here tonight or in the next few days.
Last nights trains coming into the city
were stopped and searched by determin-
ed men. who had heard the murderer had
been caught in the north and was being
brought here. Tonight it was un-
nounced that he would arrive here some
time after midnight and crowds have
gathered at many points where the pris-
oner will pass if he is brought here and
summary vengeance will be wreaked up
Q nhim. Anger, already most intense,
had been added to-day by reports that
physicians who have examined the bod
les of the dead children find indisputable
evidence that they a been ravished.
From this, the conclusion is drawn that
kimblern is guilty of rape as well as
murder.
Later.-Calvin Kimberlin, colored, who
murdered two white orphans here Sun
day night, was iynched this morning by
a mob.
Calvin Kimblern, the negro who shot
ana killed two young white girls and
seriously wounded his wife early Sun
day morning, was lynched at 1888 this
morning by an angry mob of 1,5OO men.
k1mblern was captured yesterday at
ternoon in Denver and brought here by
the officers this morning. Upon the ar
rival of the Rio Grande train at lis
a. m. a mob of determined men sur
rounded the train at the Eighth street
depot. o~verpowered the officers and
took the negro from the train, put a
rope around his neck and dragged him to
the corner of Eighth and Santa Fe ave-
nue., a distance of about three blocks.
The rope was quickly put across a tele-
graph pole. diagonally opposite the
Grand hotel. and the negro strung up.
h rope broke twice. but a third attempt
was successful and the crowd dispersed
in an orderly manner.

MATE.

Good Words: It grows in low woods.
which are called Yerbales, and it has pro-
yided tea from time immemorial. The In
dians were using it in South America
whe the Portuguese first settled there,
but it derives it's MANI, Jesuit tea and
mission tea from the fact that the Jesuit
missionaries, who went out to convert
the Indians. were the first to cultivate it,
and thus seek to improve it's uality and
flavor.
The leaves are prepared for use as fol-
lows: The leafy branches are cut down,
usually by small companies OF Indians;
they are then roasted, and when thor
oughly dry the cav are stripped Off
them and ground down into a coarse pow
der. Afternoon mate tea is served some
what differently to u afternoon pick
me-up. The cups are made out of the
dry hollow gourd-like fruit, the size OF
an orange. Each has a circula hole at
the top as large as a florin and they are
often silver mounted. To make the tea,
sugar and a little hot water are put into
each, a little powdered mate is added, and
then the cups are filled with boiling wa
ter. An additional flavor is sometimes
given by adding burnt and lemon
juice. The tea is not drunk directly out
of the cups, but is sucked up through q
narrow glass tube. thus the mate dust
does not enter the mouth. We should pro-
badly find this tea rather disagreeable
and bitter, but those accustomed to drink
it are devoted to it, and there is no doubt
that 1t is a most excellent restorative and
a mild stimulant. 1t has the further adj
vantage of being a most tea,
for at least three good brews of tea can
he made from the same portion of mate.
The first brew. perhaps. eXcels in favor,
brt it lacks something of the stimulating
power of the latter ones, and all three are
equally ithout and injurious effects for
| mate has no tannin in it,
