NEARLY DOUBLED.
Immense Increase in the Importation
+ Of Crude Articles Used BY Amer
lean Man ufacturers.

Demands of American manufacturers
for the class of materials which cannot
be produced at home are likely to
make the importations of the fiscal
year 1900 larger than those of any pre-
ceding year. In the seven months end
ing with January the importations of
articles in a crude condition which en-
ter into the various processes of domes-
tic industry amounted to $169,063, ,932,
or practically twice as much as in the
corresponding months ending with
January, 1897, when they were $s9, $780,
326, and the percentage which manu-
facturers' materials formed of the
total importation was 34.79 per cent,
against 24.74 per cent. in the corre-
spending months ending with Janu-
airy, 1897.
While there has been a steady
growth during the decade in the impor-
tations'of raw materials for use of
manufacturers, no year has shown so
large an increase as the present one,
the importations of this class of mate.
ria in the seven months ending with
January being nearly so per cent. in ex-
cess of those Of the corresponding
months of one year ago. and, as al
ready indicated, practically double
those of the corresponding months
ending January, 1897.
Ten great articles form the bulk of
this great class of our importations,
crude materials for use in manufactur-
ing. They are silk, fibers, wool. Egyp-
tian cotton, crude rubber. wood. tobac.
co, hides and skins, chemicals and tin
in pigs and bars for use in manufactur-
ing tinplates.
These ten articles form about so per
cent. of the grand total importations
of manufacturers materials.

SLEEPS IN LONG TRANCE
Pauline Fitzgerald P0xxIcs Doctors
of New Haven, Conn. by Pro-
tracted Sleep.

The medical profession at New
Haven, Conn.,, are greatly puzzled over
the case of Pauline Fitzgerald, a do
nestle aged 10 years, who has been in
II trance at the general hospital there
for six weeks. When the girl first came
to the notice of the hospital physicians
she appeared TO be in a sound sleep and
could take but little nourishment, and
that in liquid form. During her pro-
tracted sleepin the institution her con-
dition has remained the same and the
doctors have been unable to diagnose
il. There have been signs of failure on
the part of the patient. AS nothing
dangerous was noticed during her con,
finement, the girl was transferred tc
the Springside home. She has opened
her eyes several times since being
taken to the latter institute and the
hospital authorities reported that
hypnotism had been tried upon heS,
with the result that the sleeping girl
was revived sufficiently to be able to
talk in a whisper.

ADVANCES PRICE OF DRUGS.
War In south Africa Caused Certain
Drugs to Soar, Making Sick
ness a Decided Luxury.

The war in Africa has lifted the price
of certain drugs SO high that sickness
has come to be luxury. Cocaine,
quinine, aqua ammonia. fluid extract
of ergot and iodide of potassium. for
all of which there is large and CON
stant demand. have all advanced in
price. Cocaine has doubled in value,
while fluid extract Of ergot, which a
few weeks ago could be had for 81 80,
now brings four dollars pound at re-
tail. This is said to be due to scarcity
of dry ergot in South Africa because
of bad crops. The price of carbolic
acid has almost doubled, which is due
to the fact that the chemical is used so
extensively in the making of lyddte
shells that England has placed ban
upon its exportation. Other drugs
have gone up in proportion, not entire
iy because of the Boer war. but pre-
sumably because the various chemical
trusts control the supply and can die.

FOR USE OF CADETS.
CATERS from Warships VIII he
Loaned to Military Academ mics to
Teach Soldiers seaman ship.

Cadets of military academies will be
glad to know the senate committee on
naval affairs las made favorable re-
port upon the bill authorizing the loan
of cutters belonging to warships for
the purpose of teaching them the art
of seamanship. This measure was in
troduced by Senator Fairbanks, and
it authorizes the president, upon the
application Of the governor of any
state of the great lakes, to direct the
secretary of the navy to furnish to one
well-estahlshcd military school in that
state desiring to afford its cadets in
structions in elementary seamanship
one fully-equipped man of war cut
ter for every 20 cadets in actual at
tendance.
The secretary is also directed to fur
nish other equipment that may be
spared and is deemed adequate for in
struction in scnmanship. Before these
military schools can avail themselves
of the privileges accorded by this meas
ure they must have adequate facilities
for conducting upon some body of
water suitable for seamanship prac-
tice a cutter drill, and have in attend
ance at least $50 cadets in uniform re-
ceiving military instruction and quar-
tered in barracks under military reg
ulations.
Senator Fairbanks has made up his
mind to nave law of this kind placed
upon the statute books and he will do
all in his power to have his bill adopted.

we were both so ambitiohs--for him.
And perhaps couldn't have kept pace
with him, at my best; but ] had to
take in sewing to help him along, so 1
hadn't much timc.- and ih u little while
he was away beyond me. have never
caught up with him since-but have
always gone on studying, so that
wouldn't quite disgrace him when he
became u distinguished man"
The Woman in Gray stopped to put
a delicate and trcmulous hand to her
throat.
"When he was studying law" she
went on, presently, "his eyes were
troubling him, and SO I read aloud to
him for many hours every day. Some
times almost wished his eyes would
fail a little morea great deal more,
SO that he could be more dependent
on me--for | Yas very young and ig-
norant then; and, you see, | thought
I loved him"
The Woman in White did not speak
She was sitting quite still, as though
she were marble woman.
"And even away-back at the first"
the Woman in Gray went on, in that
desolate self-commnning, r.when we
were ignorant boy and girl together, we
had quite settled it with ourselves that
he was to he distinguished man. We
even made little play of IT, telling one
another that people would one day
point out with pride the poor little
house where we had lived, and where
we had SO much trouble paying the
sent; and then we would laugh so mer-
rily--oh, where has the daughter all
gone! And so we went on, looking for
ward always to the day when he would
be famous, and working and planning
for it-and always pictured myself
80 proud, so proud Of his triumphs!
We cold-blooded women feel very deep
lysometimes, and think long thoughts!
And now he has won the honors we
dreamed of-and tomorrow am 60
ing on q long journey!"
She slowly arose, and the marble
Woman in White saw for the first time
that she had little package in her
thin hand.
II have something to leave with you"
said the Woman in Gray; something
to give you. See, it is q little bundle Of
letters. They are the letters of an

An hour afterward the Woman in
White found that she had been alone
for long time, and that the last OF
the poor little letters was open in her
hand. A withered rose had dropped
from it and lay in her lap among the
folds of fluffy white. The air was filled
with the fragrance of the little old
time rose, which seemed to be part
of the old-time boyish love, that was
dead as the rose. Once, long ago. in
her life also
The radiant face of the Woman in
White was pale and old and weary
looking as she tied the letters in the
packet again and laid this penciled line
upon them:
DO not go on the long journey-for
7 60 on a journey of my own" Then
she slipped the bracelet into the vel
vet case and sealed and addressed It,
and called a servant to 60 on two er-
rands.
II am going away tonight, John
she said, as his foot hesitated on the
stair. "Send Susan up to pack"
And then she stood in the middle of
the room, her head dropped, pressing
back something that tried to come to
her eyes.
"And now for new fields" she said.

ert Davies, of Washington, telling of
the successful efforts he has made to
secure from England the gravestone
OF Lawrence and Elizabeth Washington,
which he desires to have deposited in
the Washington monument or the
Smithsonian institution.
Mr.. Davies located the stone in the
churchyard at Wiltshire. and identified
1t by the family coat of arms. He has
been negotiating with the parish au-
thorities since then, and has finally
overcome all obstacles TO bringing the
relics to America. Mr.. Kahn will lay
the matter before the authorities at

"What do you mean, sir?" demanded
the other in fierce accents.

under the disadvantage of argument

friend"-here Smith laid hand. none
too lightly, on the shoulder of the
other--"unless you wish to experiment
with usually placid temper you will

The young man sat down, aided
slightly, it may be, by the gentle pres
sure from the hand of Smith. Then the
conductor asked Smith II he wouldn't
rather pay his own fare, than make u
lot of trouble.
'Ofcourse would" answered Smith.
IF could, but my last cent is now
helping to keep that lady warm"
Here the conductor turned to get the
young woman's fare and she, in her
nervousness, dropped 1t on the floor.
Then she stopped over to recover it.
AS she stopped she gave little excla-
nation of alarm and put her hand to
her neck. The next instant quarter
rolled out from the front of the collar
and fell to the floor. Smith pointed to
1t and smiled sweetly.
DO you commonly carry loose
change in the back of your neck, mad
am?' he asked.
.'Itisn't mine." she gasped. ~ don't

it, "and you'd have found out long ago
that it got there by slipping out of my
hand as was tossing 1t in the air If
you hadn't been SO afraid that was
trying to take advantage of your un-
chaperoned youth and beauty"
The young woman turned very red.
Smith handed the quarter to the con-
ductor.

"Let me out at the next corner" said
the young woman, with vast dignity,
and she went, leaving the coin she had
dropped under the floor-grating. The
youth who had interfered went out too.
Smith got bis change and said to the
conductor. pointing to the deserted
coin under the grating:
THAT'S your rake-off."
Then he went out on the platform
and contemplated with glee the tall
young woman standing on the corner
and repulsing the advances of the
would-be squire of distressed damsels.

gers. when the conductor came to him
he pointed at the tall young woman.
"She win pay my fare" he said.
"Sir-r--r-r---l" gasped the young
woman.
''She has every cent l have in the
world" pursued Smith, doegedly.
"Oh, dear. The man Is crazy. He
followed me on the car. He's crazy,
conductorJ r don't know him."
I've touched the other button" said
Smith, grimly. Il thought there must
be something besides 'Sir--r--r in her."
Lady says she don't know you. said
the conductor, who was somewhat puz-
zled. Smith didn't lock either drunk or
crazy, or the kind of man to throw of
car without well substantiated reH-
sons.
"She doesn't" said Smith; but she's
got quarter OF my money"
where? How?" demanded she.

I'd hate to'guess," said Smith.

in tremulous tones, "this man came up
to me on the corner and tried to engage

"Ithought so." said Smith, COM
posedly. Because I ventured to ad-
dress lady who had first thrust me
into the gutter and then absorbed my
last cent, you Immediately jump to the
conclusion, you yourself being the lady
in question, that am SO overcome by
the attractiveness of the performance

That's what you think, isn't it?"
"Sir--rsr-r!" said the young wom-
an, but this time she said it without
any enthusiasm, as If, rather, she
couldn't think of anything else to say.
One of the passengers was youthful
creature. who now conceived that here
was his grand chance to, play the part
of hero for damsel in distress. Ac-
cordingly he arose and approached
Smith from the rear.
"What right have you to, annoy this
lady ?" he began, and then stopped, for

make him blink.
