FORGING TO THE FRONT.
Progress in Country's Foreign
Trsde-New Orleans Landed Sec
Ond on the List.

WASHINGTON, June 9-The growing
disposition of our exporters TO distri-
butte through the ports south Of New
York part of the export trade which
formerly passed through that great
city is illustrated by a study of the
bureau of statistics figures showing the
exports through the various ports Of
the United States in the fiscal year
1900.
During that year, and the months
taken second rank as an exporting
port and has displaced Boston in it's
position as the second exporting city
of the country.
The very heavy expectation OF
cotton and high price at which it is
exported has largely increased the
value of the exports through Southern
ports, while it is not improbable that
the Galveston disaster may have re-
suited in temporarily diverting to New
Orleans some of the business which
otherwise would have gone through
Galveston.
The exports from New Orleans in
the fiscal year 1900, were S115,S5S,764,
the highest figure in the history of the
port, except 1897, and an increase OF
s2S.O00,000 over the fiscal year 1899.
During the nine months of the fiscal
year 1901 the exports from New
Orleans were S122 234, $50. securing for
that city clear and undisputed title
to the rank of second in the list of
American export cities. the figures for
Boston, which formerly held second
place, being, for the nine months, $751;
172,051, or over S40,000,OO0 less than
those of New Orleans.
Baltimore has gained both in i'm.
ports and exports. Its percentage of
the total imports and exports of the
country was in 1900 S.2S per cent. in
1897 S.15 per cent, and in 1895 &c per
cent Its importations in 1900 we're
2.24 per cent. OF the total imports into
the country. as against IA per cent. in
1897, and 1.6 per cent. in 1895. Its
share of the total foreign commerce
of the country in 1900 was per cent,
as against 5.35 per cent. in 1897, and
AS per cent. in 1895.
Newport News shows a rapid growth
in Its export trade, which in 1900 rep.
resented 2.5 per cent. of the total ex.
ports of the country. as against 81 per
cent. in 1897, and less than l per cent.
in 1898, Its imports have also in.
creased materially, being in 1900 more
than eight times those of 1894. but

of the total imports into the country.

her exports over those OF last year
about 100000, and New orleans in

greater than in 1899.

STALLION MURDER TRIAL.
A Vast Throng Is Present to Take in the
Sensation.

Sensation.
GALENA. Mo-, June Am unusual
scene is presented here at the prelimin-
airy hearing of Mrs. John Stallion, her
father. James Crabtree, and his two
sons, Frank and Charles Crabtree. for
the murder of Alice Stallion, the wo-
mans l6-year-old daughter. The hear
ing is being held in a grove the two
justices sitting at a table under a tree
and 1000 people, attracted from points
miles around, forming a circle about
the court and defendants.
Notwithstanding no overt act has
yet been attempted. threats have been
made against the Crabtrees by many
of the strangers, and the county Off
Gals are taking all the precautions at
their command to protect the prison
ers. Galena is off the railroad and
the fact that 1000 people would care
to come miles to attend the hearing is
considered significant.
1t has been decided to eXhume the
body of the girl, that it may be exam
ined by the doctors to investigate a
theory of the county prosecutor that a
criminal assault was made upon her
by one or both of the Crabtree boys,
and that they killed her to hide the
crime.

Stratton, the millionaire mine owner
Of Cripple Creek, has redeemed the
Matchless mine, in Leadville, for the

Years ago Senator Tabor advanced

province. with Capt. J. F. Kreps, of the
Twenty-second infantry. as governor;
Lieut.. r. c. Day, of the Thirty-fourth

Lieut.. Dewitt c. Lyles, of the same
regiment, as supervisor.
Judge Taft told the people that. IL
no power were given to levy customs,
the expenses of the central govern.
ment would be provided by additional
internal taxes. He pointed out also
that If the decision of the authorities
at Washington should result in free
trade with the United States, opening
up such great market an increase in
land values would enable the people to
respond TO the increased internal taxes.

Mother and Queen.

Queen Victoria always made it a
point to keep the religious instruc-
ton of her children as much as pos
sible in her own hands. Once when
the archdeacon of London was cate
chizing the young princes, he said:
your governess deserves great
credit for instructing you so thor
oughly."
At which the youngsters piped up;
"It is mamma who teaches us our
catechism!"
1t is not perhaps generally known
that the queen occasionally taught
Bible class for the children of those
in attendance at Windsor palace

A Heavy storm Visits Memphis, But N,
Material Damage Done.
MEMPHIS, June 10.-The rain, hail
and wind storm which precipitated IL
self upon this section yesterday after.
noon was one of unusual severity and
for nearly two hours there was ire
mendous downpour of water, the ac-
companying breeze occasionally taking
on what threatened to be a cyclonic
force.
Throughout various portions of the
town and suburbs there was an un-
commonly heavy hail fall.
The stones were considerably above
the average size many of them being
abnormally large The quantity Of
hail was much larger in some portions
of the city than in others. 1t increased
both in abundance and size as the
path extended in its northeastward
course, until at Madison Heights, the
yards were covered with hailstones,
and so hard frozen were they that it
was fully thirty minutes ere they had
melted Many were seen that were
over an zach in diameter.
Another popularity of yesterdays
storm was the density of the rain
clouds. They gathered in low and COM
pact mass of black capor and between
4 and o'clock in the afternoon the
gloom occasioned by the clouds en-
veloped the city like a pail and dark
ness was as complete as if it were
already nightfall.

OKLAHOMA WHEAT CROP.
Ii Was Practically Destroyed by the Fierce
Storm of Friday Night.


WICHITA. Kas., June "a corre-
spondent who arrived here tonight from
the scene of devastation in Kay county,
Oklahoma, says that the storm of Fri
day night ruined the wheat crop of
four hundred farms West and North

all in one body of territory. The
farmers, who had purchased Irvine and
harvest machinery. are asking the
local dealers to take them back and the
dealers are referring them to the
factories.
The loss of crops will cause no dis
tress, as the farmers are in good con-
dition finacially, owing to a success
sion of good crops during the EAST

A Gentleman.

There is probably but one definition
of the word gentleman" yet there
are mary ways Of expressing that def
milton. Thackeray gives perhaps the
most direct and pleasing expression
of the word in the following. ITO be
a gentleman is to be honest, to be gen.
tie. to be generous, to be brave, to be
wise, and, possessing all these quail
tiles, to use them in the most grace
full outward manner" At another
time, the great novelist defines a gen.
tleman in these words: PERHAPS a
gentleman is rarer man than some of
us think. Which of us can point out
many such in his circle; men whose
aims are generous; whose truth is not
only constant in its kind, but elevated
in its degree; whose want of meanness
makes them simple; who can look the
world honestly in the face with an
equal manly sympathy for the great
and the small?" Huxley defines the
word in this manner: "Thoughtful-
ness for others, generosity, modesty
and self-respect are the qualities which
make real gentleman or lady. as dis
tinguished from the veneered article
which commonly goes by that name"

He Loved Animals.

Charles Kingsleys love for every
thing that had life was remarkable.
He spoke of all living creatures as his
friends, and saw in them the handi-
work of God. On his lawn lived fam
lily of natterjacks drumming toads) that
dwelt from year to year in the same
hole in a green bank which a scythe
was never allowed to approach. He
had two little friends in pair of sand
wasps that made their home in a
crack of the window frame in his
dressing room. One of these he had
saved from drowning in a hand basin
taking it tenderly out into the sun
shine to dry. Every spring he would
look eagerly for this pair of wasps
or their children, watching for them
to come out from or return to the
same crack. The little fycatcher that
built its nest every year under his bed
room window was a constant JOY to
him. He had also a favorite slowworn
in the churchyard, which his parish
oners were warned not to kill under
the mistaken idea that slowworms
were poisonous. The same love for
Gods creatures was encouraged in his
children. He taught them to admire
and to handle gently every living
thing. Toads, frogs, beetles and
worms were to them not repulsive
things, to be killed as soon as seen,
but wonders from the hand of God.
