the head of the worlds exporting ma
tons. The complete figures for the
calendar year 1900, when compared
with those of other nations. show that
our exports of domestic products are

try. The total exports of domestic
merchandise from the United States

The substantial, steady growth of
Anderson is cause for much oongrat-
ulatory comment from those who do
NOT sec the city often. One gentle
men, who had not been here in two or
three years, remarked the other day
that the change was "simply marvel
lous." So it is, and the end is not
yet. In O few more years, Anderson
will not be able to recognize herself
without very much of an effort. The
brickmasons aud carpenters will have
all the work they can do this summer.

Aguinaldo, the Filipino chief, has
been captured by the United States
troops and is now in prison at Manila.
It's predicted that his capture will
bring the war to an end over there.
The authorities in Washington are
greatly worried now what to do with
Aguinaldo. Perhaps it would be
good idea TO bring MIN TO Inc United
States and place him on exhibition.

The farmers of the South have their
destiny IN their own hands, and no
one else can work it out for them.
The immediate question confronting
them just now is whether to raise nine
million bales of cotton at handsome
profit, or twelve millions at loss.
Settling such question should be an
easy matter.

OUR COPS

here in Waterbury have duties which are hard. trying and disagreeable enough without asking them to carry their dinner, or, as some would call it.. their lunch, when going out on their respective beats We'll. we are well aware there are quite few people who would prefer to see them get nothing to eat at all, but we feel diff ferent toward the poor fellows. We think they should get the very best the market affords and lots of it; and since they are compelled to carry their ''gvub." they should be allowed to car r a bottle or a ''growler." but have /an inspector see that nothing stronger than good Tea or Coffee is contained in them. Now, the cops are not the only people who carry their dinner. There are thousands who do so and We have just received a large consignment Of the very best Lunch Boxes made in the United States They are the Gill man folding box. In other words, when you empty the box. fold it up and put it in your pocket; then it's out of your way We will give you one with each pound of our warranted good Baking Powder, or we will give YOU one for a few of our Tea and Cof- fee checks, or we will sell them to you very reasonably for cash at

Miss Mary Kane of Wolcott street is visiting friends in New York.
 At the 10:3O mass at the Sacred Heart church yesterday banns of mar- riage between John Corcoran and Miss Mary Mccarthy were announced for the first time.
 The thirty-fourth annual reception of the Young Mems Catholic Literary association will take place in Leayen- worth hall Friday night. Lallier's or cheStra will furnish music and Profes- sor Herr will prompt. Admission, gen tleman with ladies, 50 cents. | Arthur E.

 All the services at the Sacred Heart church were well attended yesterday. A special musical program had been prepared by Organist Henry Dunn for the 1O:3O mass and for the vespers which were sung in the afternoon at 3:30. The program was rendered in a splendid manner. At the 7:3O mass most interesting and instructive ser mon was preached by the Rev Father Shelley. He described in few words the delight and pleasure which fills the heart of one who has observed Lent according to the regulations of the church. Commencing with the giving of ashes on Ash Wednesday, he gave brief but lucid explanation of the various services held in the church during the past six weeks and gave a glowing account of the trials and tribulations of Christ from his condemnation of death to his death on the cross and his glorious resur- rection.

CHAPTER Nv.
THE TENDER PASSION.

There were three very thoughtful and
serious people at Beckett's Mill that
night. They were Mr.. and Mrs. Banks
and Mrs. Mann. The rest Of the popu'
lation, both men and women, collected
in little groups. either at a neighbors
house or on the street. and discussed
the war and the events Of that day.
But those three remained aloof. their
thoughts centered on things OF far
more interest to themselves.
Mrs. Banks had never felt at home
among the people Of Possum Ridge. at
least never since she had spent year
away at college. She knew that as
class they were good people and well
meaning, but for all that she did not
like them. and it was not because She
did not wish to like them. but because
she could not The whole trouble was
that she and they were not congenlal
spirits and there was nothing In COM
mon between them.
Unfortunately she felt toward her
husband as she felt toward the rest.
He was like them. and try as sne
would she could not separate him from

She apept as though her heart aDould break
and far more unhappy than he had
ever been in all his life.
Mrs. Mann's prophecy, coupled with
the words Louisa had spoken, had
made much deeper impression on him
than he would have admitted to any
living soul, than he even liked to admit
to himself.
That there was something lacking In
his married life he knew only too well,
and he had known it from his wedding
day, but never until now had it oc-
Cured to him how serious that lacking
might be. That Louisa did not love
him as q wife should he had been long
assured, but the possibility Of her low.
ing another man was something that
had never crossed his mind until this
day, and the bare thought of such
thing fell on him with crushing blow.
"Great God" he cried aloud as he
tramped the lonely country road. such
thing cannot. must not. shall not be!
1t would kill me. o God, it would kill
mev'
When he entered the room, Louisa
did not look up, and when he spoke
her name she paid no attention to him.
He waited Il moment, then asked her
what was the matter.
Nothing" she replied between her
sobs.
'Then what are you cryin for?" he
asked
Nothing" she answered again.
"Is 1t anything I've done?" he ques.

mo"
"Is it what Mary Mann said"
"No."
"Then what is it?'
Nothing"
"But it Is somethin, Loueesy. You
know 1t Is. Won't you tell me what?"
She shook her head.
"Did you hear what Mary Mann said
this evenin down there on the street"
he asked.
She shook her head again.
'She said you didn't love me an that
If ever you got to know that stranger
you'd love his little finger better than

"Well, give her a settler, I guess.

as that. an if you was Il man Id whup

to her. an meant 'em too"
He paused as If expecting bis wife to
speak, but she remained silent He
hoped that she would be pleased with
him for speaking so strongly in her de-
fense, and he felt hurt when she took
no notice Of his words. Presently be
went on, saying:

ton. To his surprise. the other took no
notice. Approaching still nearer. he
tried again.
"A pleasant evening" he said.
Still no reply and no movement on
the part Of the other.
Thinking the old man must be hard
of bearing. Melvin advanced nearer yet
and, raising his voice almost to shout.
said:
Pretty rough country around here,
isn't it?"
No reply. and not even so much as
the stir of a hand or foot. Apparently
the old man was totally unaware Of
Melvin's presence even.
Becoming desperate, Melvin drew
closer still and. raising his voice to its
highest pitch. shouted:
Are you deaf!''
There was uonfentary silence Then
slowly the old fellow raised his head
and. looking Melvin over calmly and
deliberately from head to foot and
back again. said quietly:
Young Teller, air you a-sp'ilin for a
fght?
Melvin started back and opened his
eyes wide in astonishment.
why. no." he Stammercd presently;
why do you ask that?'
Are you achn to be chawed up|'
the old man continued. taking no no.

"Of course not"

them. She found between herself and
him that same feeling Of restraint. not
to say antagonism. which held her
aloof from the others. Instead OF his
presence affordng her that feeling or
sweet companionship which a wife
should find In the company OF her
husband, 1t annoyed and irritated her
and made her restless and unhappy.
She had married Sim when she was
a mere child. She had liked him then,
and she had believed that she loved
him. She had attended school with
him, and In his rough way be had
always been kind to her. treating her
with more consideration than she bad
ever received from any one else.
At the age Of Is she received an ofer
of marriage from Sim. and. urged on Dy
her parents. she had accepted him.
Then came the year at college and q
few months later the wedding.
Then there came an awakening or
which she had never dreamed-a sad,
bitter awakening that was like cruel
cruciixion. She realized that to make
marriage sacred and happy there must
be mutual love. and she knew that on
her part there was none. and she felt
that the time would never come when
there would be.
Sitting alone In her room that night,
she folded her arms on the table and,
pillowing her head on them, wept as
though her heart would break. She
had known many unhappy hours, but
never any so thoroughly miserable as
that
She felt toward her husband as she
had never felt before. Often and often
she had experienced feeling Of dis
like for some trait Of bis character,
but It was not until now that she felt
that she hated the man himself. There
had been many times when his alb
sence was a relief to her, but 1t was
never until this night that she had
wished with all her heart that she
might never see him again.
That James Melvin had much to do
with her feelings she could not help
but admit. although the admission
caused her face to burn with shame.
The knowledge that another man. and
that man at that. could be the means
Of making her desplse her husband was
bitterly humiliating. and she wished
with all her heart that she could dispise
Melvin as well; but, alas, that was
she could not do.
While she sat there Sim came into
the room. 1t was late. and be had
walked two miles out into the country
and hack. lie was restless and uneasy

SURGERY BY TELEPHoNE.-Surgery
performed by directions given over the
telephone is the latest innovation at
the Hahnemann hospital. A physician
who is connected with it's surgical
staff was called up by phone the other
day by a nurse at the Children's hos

stitution the physician is also connect

geon. "All right, I have the child In
my arms" the nurse replied. Now,
then" said the physician, place the
child's elbow against its side, and
move its hand and forearm outward
His directions were here interrupted
by a sharp click that sounded through
the phone as the dislocated member
snapped back into place. 'There you
are-nicely done, wasn't it?" said the
surgeon to the nurse. She replied that
1t had been most successful, and the
physician returned to his clinic.-Phil-

Without a word Mrs. Mann turned

med the door shut behind her. Sim
walked on down the street, chuckling
softly to himself. But could he have
seen the expression on Mrs. Mann's
face at that moment and the steely
glitter in her eyes he might have had a
premonition Of some things that were
to follow.
When he had passed out Of sight, a
figure crept out Of the shadow Of the
