Suspected of Intimacy With the Sex
toms Daughter.
Bridgeton, N. j., June 2s.-Rev. G. e.
Ford, the popular pastor of the Metho-
dist Protestant church, left sorrow
ing wife and eight children, the young
est mere babe, at home to follow him
later when he hurriedly left Bridgeton
yesterday morning. His leave-taking
was the result of developments Tues
day evening, when an excited crowd of
men and boys surrounded the church,
where they suspected the pastor was
hiding Sixteen-year-old Florence
Thomas. daughter of the sexton, came
out of the church first, and, unmolest
cd, proceeded to her home After
long search Pastor Ford was found in
the coal cellar. He had been hiding in
one of the big pipes leading up from
the boiler, and was black with coal
dust and dirt. Angry threats were
made against him, but Trustee Charles
Miller escorted him in safety to his
homo. There sad scene ensued. The
pastor asserted his innocence, and de-
clared he had never maintained any,
thing but friendly relations with the
young woman. He was advised to
leave town.

The acquisition of new territory has
stimulated American interest in travel,
both at home and abroad. Just now
the ten-thousand mile trip of the pres
idential party is having an effect in
the same direction, as will the several
congressional parties which are max
ing preparations to go to the Philip
pines. The steady current of informa-
ton coming from all these outlying
islands is quickening the enthusiasm
of American travellers and making us
to an extent familiar with the world.'
To render the familiarity an influence
for good everywhere should be our
main concern. .p.,t.. 49,.

Every year at Tunis a solemn re-
ligious service is held in memory Of
the early Christian martyrs, Viva,
Perpetua and Felicia. The ceremony
was conducted this year a few weeks
ago by Mgr Combes, archbishop of
Carthage. One of the most picturesque
incidents in the celebration was the
procession to the subterranean cham
bers attached to the ancient arena of
Carthage, the very place where, in the
third century, the two martyrs were
delivered to the wild beasts

Foreign Trade of the United States
Is Something Enormous.

Foreign Trade of the United States
Is Something Enormous.
Washington, June %. - The fiscal
year of the government ends June 81.
The forthcoming showing Of the for
eign trade of the United States will
make wonderfully interesting docu-
ment, as it unquestionably places the
United States in the front rank of bust
ness prosperity.
The returns SO far at hand warrant
estimates that will bring the total for
eign trade to $1,000, 000, OOO OF this sum
$1,500.n00,000 represents the exports,
$900.O00,000 the imports and the balance
in favor of the United States is $780,
O00,0e0. The value of the manufactured
product exported was $500, 100000.
.. This is matter of especial interest
to the governments across the Atlantic,
and one that will stimulate their eff
forts to retain more of their business.
The payment will have to be made to
this nation largely in gold, as the hold
ings of American securities abroad are
not heavy.

KING EDWARD IS CORDIAL.
Speaker Henderson Highly Pleased
With His Interview

London, June 2s.-David B. Hender-
son, speaker Of the United States house
of representatives, said to a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press last
night:
Il have never enjoyed a more agree
able half-hour interview than the one
1 had yesterday with King Edward.
He was perfectly frank and agreeable
and in accord with American progress.
He looks forward to even more cordial
relations than now exists between the
English-speaking nations. America
may depend upon the fact that she has
no more cordial friend in the world
than King Edward. While the details
of our conversation may not be repeat
ed, I can assure my American friends
that England may be depended upon in
any ordinary controversy which may
arise between the United States and
the rest of the world"

Any person who walks down a public

On the other hand, it is asserted that
more cigarettes are smoked each day
in Washington than in any other city
OF equal population except those in the
extreme southern part of the United
States.

RATES For vETERANs.
Usual Trouble Between Railroads Is
Threatened.


Chicago, June 80. - The usual trouble
over the rates to the G. A. r. encamp-
ment again threatens to disturb the peace
of the railroads. AS IN previous years
the Western roads have agreed to a rate
of one fare for the round trip, about
~ cents a mile. This is not sufficient
reduction to satisfy the veterans, how
ever, and they are trying to secure
rate of cent a mile.
The roads say they would be willing to
make the 1-cent-a-mile fare if it were
confined to the G. A. R. veterans; but the
trouble lies in the fact that the old SOL
diers form only a portion of the great
numbers who take advantage of the low
rate. They say the number of veterans
who make the annual pilgrimage is grow
ing less and less each year, and the num-
Der of outsiders is growing equally larger
at the same time.
