MUST HAVE AMERICAN GOODS

Frequent announcements have been
made during the past few years of COM
linations or legislation against the
United States with reference to our ex-
port trade. A few years ago American
meats were the subject of legislation in
several of the European countries with
the apparent purpose of discriminating
either against certain classes of our pro-
ducts or of aiding certain classes Of pro
ducers in the countries in which the leg
aslation was had. A little later came
similar action with reference to Ameri-
can fruits StiIl later further Iegisla-
tion with reference to various grades Of
meat was had. and this was followed by
increase of duties in certain European
countries against the classes Of bread
stuffs Of which the United States is a
large producer and exporter. Our dairy
products have also been the subject of
more or less attention from Europeans
who had looked askance at oIeomar-
garine butter and filled cheese. The
sugar legislation and laws OF the United
States have furnished a basis for certain
restrictive regulations with reference
TO certain products of our manufactures
and the war with Spain was looked upon
by many as likely to practically destroy
the commerce between that country and
the United States
What has been the result of all this
commercial friction. commercial hostil-
tty. and of these national and interra-
ticnal combinations against American
commerce2 To answer in a word: a
steady increase of American exports to
the countries in question and in many
cases a decrease Of American imports
from those countries.
Take the case Of Germany. for in
stance. where restrictive legislation or
regulation with reference to certain
American products has been frequently
Rgitated and in some cases actually ap-
piled. The figures Of the treasury
bureau OF statistics show that our ex-
ports to Germany have increased from
s. million dollars in 1898 to. 1S7 million
dollars in 1900. while the figures for the
eight months ending with February,
1901 show exports to Germany valued at
134 million dollars. against 124 million
dollars in the corresponding months Of
last year and III million dollars in the
same months of the fiscal year 1899.
Meantime imports into the United
States from Germany have fallen from

Dyspepsia

Is difficult digestion, due to a
weakened condition of the stomach
and its inability to properly churn
the food; or to unhealthy condition
of the gastric juice, too much OF
too little acid, too much or too
little pepsin.
Hoods Sarsaparilla relieves all
the distressing symptoms of dys-
pepsia because it promotes the mus
cular action Of the stomach and in
testines, aids nature in the manu-
facture of her own digestive secre-
tons, which are far better than
any artificial pepsin, unlocks the
bowels, stimulates the kidneys and
tones up their mucous membranes.
So prompt is its effect in many
cases that it seems to have almost
magic touch.

LAST SLAVE SHIP CAPTAIN.
Captain Foster Brought Last Human
Cargo to America.

Captain Foster Brought Last Human
Cargo to America.
Captain William Foster, commander
of the last American slave vessel to
make the perilous voyage to the slave
market Of Africa, died at his home
near Mobile the other day. Captain
Foster was the commander of the slave
ship Clotilda that brought the last car
go Of slaves to th@ United States. The
trip was made only after many thrill
ing scenes, requiring weeks of skillfu1
maneuvering and dangerous exploits.
Just before the north and south en-
gagged in war Captain Foster built the
Clotilda and announced that he would
make a trip to the gulf of Guinea de-
spite the fact that United States war
vessels had burned and sunk the ships
of many who tried the voyage. He
was warned repeatedly Of the dangers
attached to such an undertaking, but
he equipped his ship and sailed away.
He reached the African coast after
going out of his course many times and
remained along the coast for a month.
He succeeded in getting 100 negroes on
board before he was detected by the
watchful vessels of the United States.
He was pursued, but easily outdis-
tanced his pursuers and two months
later arrived in Mobile bay with his hu-
man cargo. A steamboat met the slave
ship during the night, and the negroes
were transferred in order to avoid tbs
custom house officials. Captain Foster
set his vessel on fire and passed
through Mobile without being detected.
The government authorities hunted for
him for months, but he eluded them
until the close of the war, when he re-
tired from the sea.

Nothing more striking than the parity
photographed, partly sketched pictures
of her company has ever advertised
play in New York. Personally Miss
Bingham is fortunate in photography.
She always takes good picture, some
times even more beautiful than herself.
Miss Bihgham's policy Of not pushing
herself forward as a star. but as
manager, has kept her from circulat-
ing her own portraits except along with
those Of the other members of her COM
pany.
''At Z in the evening" Miss Bingham
continued, 81 am in my dressing room.
Usually about 7:3O / see the stage di-
rector to talk over any point that may
have arisen as to that part of the house.
As people acquainted with the stage
know, the stage directors duty is by no
means finished when the plav has hno-'
produced. We have rehearsa1s every
Monday morning, so that none of us
may become slipshod. l always attend
these and also the understudy rehear-
sails. All this, with eight performances
a week, does not give me time for that
lazy and indolent life that careless peo-
pie credit all actors with. My ambi-
t1ons for my company are almost
boundless, and 1 feel that by persever-
ance 1 shall accomplish at least most
Of them. It is my hope to some day
have an organization which will rank
with that directed by Augustin DAILY in
it's earlier years. 1 have not the slight
est desire to figure as star but SIM
ply as an nactress-manager."
In pursuance of that policy she has
not answered a curtain call alone since
the first night, when she made a speech
Opinions differ as to Miss Bingham's
acting ability. but her business talent
seems unassailable. She says that she
always longed for the practical side Of
the stage, firing of acting one role week
in and week out when she had nothing
to do with the management. For two
months before she produced ''The
Climbers" she had worked early and
late, attending to every detail, from Sc
lecting the costumes and scenery to re-
hearsing the play and studying her
own part. Surely she has no feminine
fear of work, and because she is a wo-
man what she is doing seems more in
teresting than it would If a man were
doing it as well or better.

after it is nay wish to be known as la
Baronne de BaZus."
Mrs. Leslie's friends were startled.
They had never heard Of even the sug-
gestion of this name applied to her and
eagerly sought for the explanation.
Upon this point Mrs. Leslie was silent.
BaZus is a small town in France,
near Toulouse, and is not known to have
supported a barony. Mrs. Leslfe's an
cestors were French, and her friends
believe that the title came to her by
descent, and scout the idea that she as
sumed it by purchase, although they
admit that titles are often sold. She is
travelling under the name of La Ba
rome de Bazus, and it appears on the
passenger list of the Maria Theresa.

STRANGE CASE.
Needles, Pins, Comb Teeth, ETC., In q
GirPs Arm.

Needles, Pins, Comb Teeth, ETC., In a
GirPs Arm.
The medical fraternity of Elwood,
Ind, are puzzled by most extraordi-
nary case, and they are unable to make
satisfactory explanations of the re-
markable phenomenon.
The 19-year-old daughter of John
Turner called the local surgeons to
brass pins, comb teeth and variety
of similar small articles. Recently
Miss Turner called at the Office of Drs.
Newcomer and Dick and complained
of a severe soreness of her arm be-
tween the elbow and shoulder. The
physicians investigated the patient s
arm and finally removed a long sewing
needle. The pain was not eased, and
Miss Turner returned for another oper-
alton. Two more needles were taken
from her arm. She came back in the
evening again, and six more were re-
moved; a hairpin and the tooth Of a
comb were also extracted. The father
of the young lady has since removed a
brass pin, and appearances give 1ndi-
cations Of more articles beneath the
surface of the skin which have not yet
been removed.
The circumstances were SO unusual
that the physicians in attendance re-
fused to make public the facts, but
there is now no doubt regarding the
examination and the results. The
young lady and her parents cannot re-
call how or when she could have got
the articles into her body. 1t is barely
II ol,o he h.
ed them when small child. The
question that arises from this theory
is how the articles passed from the
stomach to the arm and why they
should all work out to the same place.

ter the plans. Their honeymoon was
sadly ended, but the young widow
pluckily went along alone with the
stock company with fine success.
Going little farther, one finds a wo-
man as the manager of a repertory
stock company that is second in popu-
larity to only one of the numerous or
ganizations of this sort throughout the
United States. Mrs. John A. Fore
paugh directs Forepaugh's theater in
Philadelphia and the weekly change
dramatic company that is stationary
there. She does not act, but her duties
are actual and arduous. Mrs. Fore
paugh's is another case of a woman
continuing her husbands work cut
short by his death. John A. Fore
paugh, who built the theater that bears
his name, was a son of Adam Fore
paugh Of circus fame.
1t will be seen by this that Amelia
Bingham's position at the Bijou the
ater, in any way an odd one, is in sever
al points unique. The other woman
managers are only carrying on busi-
nesses that were got into running order
by their husbands, while Miss Bingham
started her stock company by herself.
She says that soon, next season pos
Eibly, she will have a theater of her
own. This is possibility of the fu-
ture, but facts of the present about
her methods are more interesting. Any
one who supposes that now that Miss
Bingham, having mounted the first
steps of the ladder that her ambition
urges her to climb, is living in lazy
satisfaction is mistaken. Her account
of her days work dissipates any such
notion.
'I rise always at 9 o'clock" says she.
''At 10 l read my personal mail, and
half an hour later call up the treasur-
er of the Bijou to inquire about the ad-
vance sale. At IL / see my business
manager, and the subjects of our con-
.versations vary, but there are always
some details to be discussed. It takes
me fully an hour after that to dictate
answers to my correspondents. You
know how full an actress mail is.
never refuse the requests Of autograph
collectors. My afternoon duties vary.
Sometimes read plays sent to me-
and 1 assure you there are enough OF
these to fill all my days comfortably
But there is much also to be attended
to. Just now am busy seeing to post
ers and photographs for next fall"
It is worth interrupting Miss Bing
ham here to mention the care she hal
given to her nictorial advertising

The fountains Of Paris are among the
most interesting features of the city,
md the authorities are careful to in
tease their attractiveness whenever
an opportunity arises. An experiment
has been tried by which the waters will
become luminous. A sort of golden yel-
low will alone be employed, but the
waters will assume the appearance of
cascades of diamonds and topaZes. The
effect will be attained by means Of
electric lights and colored glasses plac-
