An expectation Of forty million dol
lars worth of manufactures in thirty
days is record unparalleled for Amer
lean manufactures. That is the record
for the month of April, 1900. The de-
tails of the April exportations-just
completed by the Treasury Bureau Of
Statistics-ShoW that the expectation
of manufactures during that month
were by far the greatest of any month
in our history, and within fraction Of
forty million dollars. This gives as
surance that the exports of the fiscal
wear which ends with June, will con
siderably exceed 400 million dollars
and be nearly three times as much as
a decade ago. This phenomenal in
crease in expectation of manufactures
is especially striking when compared
with the progress made by European
nations, our rivals, in the attempt to
supply the worlds market with manu-
featured goods. Great Britain's eX-
ports of manufactures show but slight
increase since 1890, and an examna-
ton of the export record of the prin-
cipal European countries fails to dis
close an instance in which the increase
has been as much as % per cent, while
that of the United States, meanwhile,
has been more than $50 per cent.

TWO GIRLS ARE DROWNED,
A Shocking Accident at Giifford's,
on Oconomowoc Lake.
BODIES ARE RECOVERED
Servants in A. J. Aikens' Fa1nil y
Lose Their Lives-Got Be

Oconomowoc, Wis, June IA shock
ing accident occurred at Giffords last
night when Louise Boisclaire and Josie
Pruess, the maid and cook i'll the fami-
ly of Mr.. and Mrs. A. ]. Aikens of Mil
waukee, were drowned in OconomOwoc
lake, not far from the shore.
Mrs Aikens had spent the day in Chi
cago, and the maid had put her little boy
to bed. Mr.. Aikens was sitting on the
porch, when the two young women came
out and asked if they might go down to
the dock and go in bathing. Mr.. Aikens
consented and remained alone in charge
of the cottage.
1t was then about half past s. When
an hour later they had not returned Mr..
Aikens became somewhat uneasy, think
ing they were remaining out too late and
went to the back porch to see if they had
come in without his noticing it. Not
finding them he called to them, but re-
ceiyed no answer. His stepson came In
about 10 o'clock and saying he had seen
nothing of the girls, started at once for
the dock to look for them. A few mo

to the station to meet Mrs. Aikens, VINO

were found in the bath-house and they
were nowhere to be seen. Everyone was
now thoroughly alarmed. Lanterns were
secured and the men going out in boat
found Doth bodies in deep water and not
very far from the shore. Both women
were dead The coroner was called and
the bodies sent to OcOnOmoWoc.
Louise Boisclairc, the maid, was about
20 years old and belongs in Milwaukee.
1t is said her relatives live on Twenty
fifth street in that city. The cook. Josie
Preuss, was about "A and formerly lived
on the south side in Milwaukee. Her
father, it is said, recently moved to Pitts
burg.
The water becomes very deep near the
shore and Mrs. Aikens had cautioned the
girls to be very careful if they went i'll
bathing, having pointed out to them the
dangerous places.
Just how the accident happened no one
will ever know. But it is probable that
one of the girls suddenly stepped off into
the deep water and that the other went
to her assistance both thus losing their
lives, as neither could swim.

destroyed also. The carriage warehouse
in the rear of the factory was saved. The
origin Of the fire is unknown. There was
over $50, coo worth of stock in the fac
tory.
Until this week the force has been
working night as well as day TO get out

orders behind. An immense amount Of

900 orders having been filled since the
