The new cup defender is to be
launched at Herreshon's yards in
April. The name picked out for the
vessel is the Eagle. The name is sug-
gestiye of strength, speed and fear
lessness. That it will prove good
''hailing name" however, is doubted.
But there is something patriotic
about it and it should prove popular.

The other morning a number of boys
were before New York city magis-
trate on the charge of boistrous and
disorderly conduct in the Tender
loin" section. Nov, boys" said the
magistrate, you know that you should
not be running around town late at
night. This town is full of bad peo-
pie, whose influence win ruin you.
Surely, boys, you do not want to grow
up to be reporters" And that, presum-
ably, is what yellow journalism mas
done for New York. The honorable
profession of newspaper reporting is
held up as a horrible example before
the youth of the city.

rs TO I IN TEXAS.
Democrats in That state Have Had
All the Free silver They
Want.

The Texas democratic convention
of 1898 Endorsed the Chicago platform
in every particular, and especially COM
mended and approved the declaration
.for the free and unlimited coinage OF
gold and silver at the ratio OF 16 to
one, with full legal tender qualities
and without reference to the action
of other governments" Then, as If
this were not emphatic enough, re-
marks the Chicago Record-Herald, the
following was added:
"We declare that the present war
excitement cannot and shall not OBJ
scure the money question, upon which
the fight in 1900 will be chiefly made,
and that the interest now being taken
in the 100000 people Of Cuba and
Porto Rico must not detract from the
vital interest of the 75,000,00o Of our
own people"
The Texas democratic convention
gave perfunctory Endorsement to the
Kansas City platform but said moth
ing specifically about the question
upon which the fight in 1900 was t.
have been chiefly made. Evidently
the Texas democrats, like their breth
rem of Georgia, Illinois and Indiana
| have had enough of silver, and from
present Indications there will be nj
repetition of the Kansas City con
sistency in the next national demo
cratic platform.

THE DRINKING ORCHID.
Wonderful Plant Recently Found I'm
south America by n Philadel-
phia Explorer.

A plant termed by English Public
Opinion the most extraordinary ever
discovered has been brought to light
by the exertions of Mr.. +. A. Suver,
krop, Of Philadelphia, who during his
trips to South America has been for
some years contributing to the col
lection of his friend, Prof. N. L.
Brown, of the Herbarium, Kew gar
dens, London. The wonderful plant
which Mr.. Suverkrop has now found,
says Youths Companion, is an orchid
that takes drink whenever 1t feels
thirsty by letting down tube into
the water. When not in use the tube
is coiled up on top of the plant.
One hot afternoon, says Mr.. Suver-
krop, sat down under some brush
wood ut the side of a lagoon on the
Rio de la Plata. Near at hand was
forest of dead trees which had been
choked to death by orchids and Glib
| ing cacti. In front of me, stretching
over the waters of the lagoon and
about q foot above it, was branch
of one of these dead trees. Here
\ and there clusters of common plarfta

green cacti twined round it.
Among the orchids noted one diff
ferent from the rest, the leaves.
sharp lance-head shaped, growing all
round the root and radiating from It.
From the center or axis of the plant
hung a long, slender stem about one
eighth of an inch thick and one
fourth of an inch wide. The lower
end of this was in the water to q
depth of about four inches.
I went over at once to examine my
discovery, and was surprised when /
touched the plant to see the center
stem gradually contract and convui.
sively roll itself up in spiral like
roll of tape. I found on examine
ton that the stem was long, slen-
der, fat tube, open at the. outer end,
and connected at the inner end to the
roots by series of hairlike tubes.
BY subsequent observation I found
that when the plant was in need OF
water this tube would gradually un.
wind till 1t dipped into the water.
Then 1t would slowly coil round and
wind up, carrying with 1t the quanti-
ty Of water that the part of the tube
which had been immersed contained.
When the final coil was made, the
water was poured, rs 1t were, direct
ly into the roots of the plant. The
coil remained in this position until
the plant required more water. But
should the plant be touched while the
tube il extended, the orchid acts like
the sensiutive plant, and the coiling
In more rapid.
I found many of these plants, all
directly over the water, or over the
I place where the water had been. In
I the latter case 1t was almost pitifu
a to see how the tube would work its
way over the ground In search Of
: water that was not there.

ports to them. However, the differ
ence in percentage of increase IL due
mainly to the fact that our imports
were far larger than the exports, at
the beginning of the period. In 1897
we received $4,3s3,740 worth of goods
from the Philippines, $2,1s1,O24 worth
from Porto Rico, and '$13,6S7,799
worth from Hawaii. Imports for the
fiscal year just ended amounted, in
round numbers, to 100000 from the
Philippines, $26,OOO,0OO from Hawaii,
and $1,000, 900 from Porto Rico.
To sum up, in 1897 the United
States sent to the islands which have
since become its passions, products
aggregating $6,773,56O and imported
from them goods whose aggregate
value was $20,252,563. In the fiscal
year 1902, we sent to those islands
$35, 900, 900 worth Of goods and took
from them $4O,OOO,00O worth. While
imports increased about 100 per cent.
exports increased more than 400 per
cent. And our trade with the Phil
ippines may be said to have just be-
gun to develop. In few years, when
under orderly and wise government
directed by the government OF the
United States the Filipinos will
have become more active and enter
prising, and consequently more pros
porous, the $5,OOO,OO0 worth of ex-
ports Of the fiscal year 1902 will look
as small in comparison with the fig
ures then on the records, as the pal
try $4,000 recorded for 1897 looks
now in comparison with present fig

their great stores of gold into our
treasures, and the result was what
we predicted. Prices rose and times
grew better There is no scarcity OF
money now, as there was ten years
ago, and that issue is eliminated from
politics. One of the greatest of ques-

people. Bryan has risen vastly In the

silver Men Meet I'm New York and De-
eide to Abandon the Money
Question.

Alarmed and angered by the grow
ing power of Grover Cleveland, David
b. Hill and other gold democrats over
the democratic organizations in New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Mas
sachusetts and other eastern states,
w, j. Bryan's friends are going to
drop silver, declare the money ques-
ton Is settled and found a new party
out of the patches Of several old or
CARNATIONS, says New York report.
Announcement to this effect was made
by former Senator r. #. Pettigrew, Of
South Dakota, after long conference
at Manhattan Beach, in which +. E..
Dubois, United States senator from
Idaho; Prof. Carrot Droppers, Of
North Dakota; George /. SHIRLEY, Of
Washington, d. c., and other western
democrats took part.
Bryan's recent letter to the Tilden
club denouncing Cleveland was the
| first blast of the bugle. During his
Forthcoming tour of the eastern
states he will continue his attacks at
| every opportunity and endeavor to
hold as many of the state organiza-
tions as possible.
Pettigrew, Dubois and SHIRLEY are
the advance heralds of the new move
ment. Their meeting to-day was said
to be mainly for the purpose Of pro
viding some literature which is to be
scattered along Bryan's path. After
the meeting Mr.. Pettigrew said:
"The silver question is dead. What
we demanded in 1892 and 1896 was
more money. We claimed that better
times would result from an increase

Increased Imports and Exports
Through Acquisition Of New
Territory.

From figures just published by the
bureau of statistics of the United
States treasury department 1t APP
pears that trade between the United
States and its newly-acquired posses
sions has had growth that Is fairly
phenomenal, says the Albany Jour
nal.
in 1897, the year before that in
which the Philippines passed into the
possession of the United States, our
exports to the archipelago amounted
TO only $94,597. In 1899, our total
exports to the Philippines were val
ued at $4O4, 1895; in 1900, at $2,640,449;
IN 1901, at $4,O27 ,O64, and when the
figures for the fiscal year 1902 are
made up, it will be shown that fully
IS, OOO, 900 worth of American prod
acts were sent to the Philippine arch
tpelago.
To Porto Rico this country in 1897
sent 81, $685. worth of articles. In
the fiscal year 1901 the exports to
that island from the United States
aggregated $685., 900, and a conserva-
xive estimate for the fiscal year just
closed is that the total value OF our
exports to Porto Rico will be shown
20 be well above $1O,0OO,000.
To Hawaii, which in 1897 received
American products worth $4,690,o75'
American exporters are now sending
about $2O,OOO,OOO worth of goods an
aually.
] Within the same five years, imports
from the three insular possessions
have likewise increased greatly, but
not by such percentage as the ex-

THE BEST
OF ALL
For Business Was the
Year Closing
MR.. BRADSTREET SAYS so
But 1t Would Be So if He Did Not
Say 1t. =
A LARGE INCREASE IN TRADE
In Every Line All Over the En-
tire Country.

New York, Dec. 30.-Bradstreets
review of the business year is to be
out Saturday next, and will say:
ITO say that 1902 was the best year
this country has ever experienced.
while truthful enough in, the main,
does not suggest fully the, enormous
strides which the United States. took
in the year just closed. Practically
every branch of ordinary trade and
manufacture showed an increase
above the best previous years and
yet this. immense enlargement OF
output was not sufficient OF itself-eo
satisfy the growing. it might even
be termed Unsuitable, demand for all
kinds Of materials. In many cases
the usual outlet for our products
was, perforce neglected by American
producers who confined their efforts
TO supply of inslstant domestic de-
mand, while in other cases, foreign
productions was not called upon to
reinforce the domestic output with
that result that new channels were
created in our foreign trade. Our
export, therefore shrunk while our
imports expanded to unprecedented
figures. The railroads of the country
in their efforts to handle the bnsi-
ness offered them suffered as never
before from congestion and COM
plant OF interference with produc-
ton and distribution of the products
of the farm, the mine, the shop and
the loom was practically universal.
Industrial unrest was naturally
marked as it always is in times
either of prosperity or of depression
and perilous disorganization of some
of the country's basic industries for
time.
In many cases, however, resort Co
extremes was avoided or rendered
unnecessary by liberal recognition
by employers Of changes in the
standard of living and It IL safe 20
say that two men obtained higher
wages or had their work from time
to time reduced without resort TO
strikes for every one who actually
quit work. Speculation, it is true,
felt the check imposed upon it by
conservatism, by short crops in the
proceeding year and last, but not
least, by high rates for money, but
despite the fact that stock market
operations were only about one e-half
those of 1901, bank clearings, the
usually reliable guides of business,
showed aggregates practically un-
heard of figures of 1901.
All this was accomplished with O
minimum of friction as reflected In
the number Of busindss embarrass-
ments.
