THE MIXED CLUBS" OF LONDON

When in London recently I was i'm
pressed with the great popularity of
the mixed club" These mixed clubs,
which are considered quite ''the thing"
for the smart set, are remarkably
prosperous. They possess imposing
club houses in the fashionable quarter
of the city, and the memberships US
ually number into the hundreds, in
Guiding the names of personages.
Though mainly social in character,
several confess to a serious aspiration
on the side. A few have sleeping
apartments like unto the traditional
mans club for out-of-towr or uphill
morning members. In two there are
smoking-rooms-for the ladies, mind
you-where the perfumed incense of
the feminine cigarette mingles with
the aroma of the tea-cups. There is
precious little of the soulful essay, in
a word, to be found in the London club
made up of men and women, but there
is always repartee at the dinner-table.
Though the American and his wife
would promptly repudiate the smoking
apartment. their intermingling in club
life is certainly to be commended.
There is too much of separation in
recreation. In no American club Of
any Importance have men and women
come together for mutual pleasure and
profit. Bertha Damaris Knobe In the
January Woman's Home Companion.

A CARNIVAL VISITOR
HAS A GRIEVANCE
Against the Police.-He Was Arrested
as Suspicious Character, and Says
He Was Abused and Insulted.

H. R. Patrick is a civil engineer at
Phoenix. He came here for the Car
nival. with the best Of recommends
tions on paper. and is we'll known by
several Ell Pasoans. According to his
statement he was arrested on the mid
way a few days ago and ushered OFF
to the city Jail by two policemen.
He says he explained to them that
he could identify himself by several
we'll known Ell Paso merchants, but
was told that he was under arrest as
a suspicious character and would have
to go to Jail and talk to the police.
He claims that he was abused and
not allowed to even call his friends
but showed in Jail with tough, drunken
tramps, who repeatedly insulted him.
He was kept in Jail for over two hours
but was finally released by the chief.
He was arrested without a warrant
and only on the charge of being a sus-
picious character, and he thinks that
the police should have allowed him to
identify himself or give bond.
He also claims that the police abused
and grossly insulted him.

Growing Desire 10 Learn
Spanish in The States.
Every School and College
to Include it in its Course.

One evidence of the growing interest
taken by the people of the United States in
their new possessions is found in their re-
Gently discovered desire to learn the Spanish
language. Within the last year Spanish
has made great advances in the colleges and
universities. In the high schools of the
larger cities, also, it is making its way and
threatening to outstrip French and Ger
man. Yale University is case in point.
For many years Spanish had been neglec.
ted, but already mere than one hundred
students have announced that they aoish
to take it next year. 1t is expected that
this number will be considerably increased
when the time comes, and ample prepara.
tions are to be made to install the new
classes in a fitting manner. While no sta
tistics are now available, it is said by
educators that in the West the desire to
learn Spanish is considerably greater than
il the East. Every returning volunteer
soldier has been a center of Spanish in
tluence, and as the idea that it will be
possible to make fortunes easily in the new
possessions becomes more firmly rooted in
the popular mind, it is thought that every
high school, college, and university will
be compelled to put Spanish into its regular
| course.

Remarkable Increase OF
Exports from the
United States.

There has been a steady grOWth OF exports
from the United States ever since 1870, but
of late years the increase has been almost
phenomenal. From the indications 1t seems
that 1901 is to surpaSS the record OF the year
1900 and bring the export figure nearly, If
not quite, to the billion and a half mark
The March import and export figures, just
completed by the Treasury Bureau Of Stats
tics, SHOW total expectation from the nited
States in the nine months ending with
March, 1901, of 81 140, 40, 72S. or $50 80,
032 in excess of last year, rhich held the
highest record in the history of our export
trade.
Another interesting fact developed by the
March figures of our foreign commerce Is
that imports seem likely to show decided
decrease in 1901 as compared iclth 1900,
while the e1pOr;S are showing the Increase
above indicated. The figures Of the nine
months ending with March, 1901 show a
decrease of S41 ,292, $50 iR the imports, as
compared with thcSe in th9 corresponding
months Of the preceding year. Thus the
excess OF exports over imports 10 the nine
months under discussion Is ltore than Slo0,
100000 greater than in the corresponding
months Of last year. The escess Of exports
over imports in tie nine. .monthS endiI 2
With March, 1901, is 500, ,61 3S1 as against
$4l1 ,Sj4 ,G66 in the cOrreSpa pandlng months
of 1900, an increase of S12S,S S32 ,G11 in the
net excess of exports over imports for the
nine months of 1901 ast compared with
the corresponding period Of the fiscal year
1900.
The reduction in the IMPORT figures is
largely due to the reductioti in price of the
materials imported by manufacturers, and
occurs chiefly in the class ..Articles in a
crude condition which enter into the various
processes of domestic industry Yet, while
the figures of value are maS rally reduced
the quantities of these Particular articles
imported for use in manufacturing show
little reduction.
The reason foT this is that there has been
a large decrease in the price Of many m-
ported articles which in figures based on
values would show an apparently sreater
decrease in imports than lcduld be justified
by the facts.

and opposing the arguments Of Christian
missionaries.
The leaders in the movement are enthu-
