employed at various places, or wherever he
could find work.
Parker was also missing Monday morn
ing. Deputy Sheriff II. j Slayton took up
the case, and before shutdown he had his
man beh nd the bars in Washington county

g. Mann, recsiving 1875 and another horse.

Ter Monday evening and lodged him in jail

The Years Foreign Trade.

The exports of the United States for
he fiscal year ended June 30 aggregate
81 ,4S7 658,0O0; imports, S822,756, 600;
excess of exports over imports, 1884,
100000.
Exports for the fiscal year Of 1900
were 81, 1874 ,483,O00; imports, $S49, 941, :
coo; excess of exports, 1914 ,542, 900.
The year 1900 was record breaker,
but 1901 has established q new high
record in the matter of foreign trade.
OF these figures the Springfield Repub-
lcan presents the following anal sis !:
Exports last Fl cal year were over 800 :
600 900 in excess of the largest pre-
vous total, and were $500 100000 in
excess OF The average for the four years
preceding 1898. Imports were smaller
than during the previous year, but be-
yond that we're the largest since 1898.
Accordingly we have a favorable trade
balance some S50,000,0 900 larger than
that OF 1898, and more than twice as
large as the largest ever before attained
prior to that time. 1t is an amazing
exhibit.

An Interesting Case.

The continuous performance in the
murder department of the administra-
ton of justice in Massachusetts, which
has been temporarily interrupted, will
be resumed on Thursday at Pittsfeld.
The trial of Robert S. Fosburgh,
charged by the grand jury with the
murder of his sister, Mary L. Fosburgh,
on the night of August 20, 1900, will
begin on that day. 1t is an inter-
esting case and public interest in it is
natural and wholesome.
The Fosburghs are wealthy people
The evening of the night of the kill
ing the family had spent in pleasant
social diversions. The story of the
tragedy that was later enacted was that
burglars had entered the house, that
q conflict ensued between them and
the senior Mr.. Fosburgh, that Miss
Fosburgh was aroused by the disturb
ance, and going TO the door Of her
sleeping room to ascertain its cause was
shot by one of the burglars, who there
upon escaped from the house.
Evidence of the entry of the house
was found on the outside, but pursuit
and search, stimulated by large re-
wards, failed utterly to discover the
culprit or culprits.
Later the grand jury of the county
took the matter up, and on evidence
which has not yet been disclosed in
dicted young Fosburgh for the killing
OF his sister. In general way the
theory OF the accusation was that Rob.
ert Fosburgh, senior and junior, had
quarreled, that they had some sort Of
an encounter in the dead of night, that
in the conflict fire arms were used, that
Miss Fosburgh, aroused by the noise
came to the door Of her chamber in
time to receive into her bosom bullet

brother.
There is a great amount of incidental
detail and circumstance, but these are
the leading features Of the case. II

THE MAN WITH THE RED PANTS.

Advertising has become science in ITSELF
not an exact science, however, only home
ly art, for the basis OF all true advertising Is
the art OF keeping a customer after you
have once gained his attention. One can
attract notice by enclosing ones neither ex-
tremities in red pants, by standing on his
head in the middle of street, or by the
liberal use Of printers ink; but after that it
is the liberal use Of the customer that holds
him. Many merchants injure their business
by advertising-over advertising msrep-
resentation, mean. Nowadays business
integrity is what counts in the long run,
and If a man would succeed by advertising
he must believe in what he advertises, al
ways give the customer his moneys worth
and make him understand that the store
and advertising are alike truthful and reli-
able. have had much favorable comment

Sailing the Air.

One of the achievements of the
twentieth century may be the perfec-
ton of aerial navigation. A French
man has recently been sailing the air
above Paris with almost as effective
control over his air ship as the naviga-
tor has of the vessel in which he goes
down to the sea. This machine has
the shape of cigar, and is operated by
a gasoline motor. Suspended from it
is steering apparatus, and screw pro-
peller with blades OF steel and alumni
ium. On bicycle saddle, perched on
the shaft beneath the cigar shaped bal
loon sits the man who directs the move
ments of the machine. On it, accord
ing to the reports, he arose from the
streets of Paris into the realms above,
came down at will and where he willed,
and rose again, circled around Long
champs race course several times, and
Eifel tower twice.
Men have travelled the air for gen.
erations but the winds have hitherto
been the directors of their courses.
The things that are new about this re-
cent Partisan invention are that it is
the first air machine that has been kept
at any desired height for given
length of time, the first to descend at a
given time and place, and the first that
has been given and held to a desired
direction by steering apparatus.
1t is conceded that these new fea.
lures of the Santos-D lmont machine
distinguish it by so many degrees from
Darius Green's flying machine, or any
former ballooning experiment, that il
may prove to be the practical accomp'
lishment of aerial navigation.
The next thing will be, after air nav.
igation is perfected and made reason
ably safe, to persuade people to adopt
the new and long-sought means of loco.
motion, and give it the preference over
automobiles or trolley cars, railway
trains on we'll ballasted road beds OF
ships of steel that defy the dangers Of
the vastly deep.
