He kept up his TRADE of abuse and
taunts until Tuohey, looking at the match
from a box-office viewpoint. and knowing
the advertising would bring more than
the s25, finally agreed tovtry and throw
the stranger. The money was put up in
a well known newspaper mans hands.
Years ago it appears Tuohey was quite
a wrestler at that. But in fifteen years
he had never taken part in match.
However, he took chance, and strange
as it may appear, fully as much of a

PAPERS AND CAR TICKETS, roo

New York has new commercial de-

has called attention.

seen in New York. said he, ARE the
ones that stand at the foot OF the stair
ways leading to the elevated stations
and sell l. tickets along with their news
papers. Their profit must be considera-
bic.
"They don't make anything off the
tickets, of course, for the company al
lows them no reduction in prices, but
they sell a good many extra papers on
account of the tickets, and thus their
accommodating spirit rebounds to their
financial benefit. 1t is a great advantage
for man who is hurrying home at the
rush hour to be able to get his ticket at
the same time he buys his evening pa
per, and not have to stand in line and
wait for it, and he is naturally going
to buy all his daily literature from the
man that supplies his transportation
1T is surprising how quick and accur-
ate those young fellows become BY the
time you have bought paper from one
of them two or three times he learns to

new BILLIARD STAR
CURE OF PARIS WILL MAKE THEM
ALI. GO.

This new billiard champion of France,
Cure, is one of the greatest living eX-
perts, said William H. Cation, of Chi
cage, yesterday when asked about the
defeat by Cure of such famous French
players of the balkline game as Maurice
NignauX, widely known in this country;
Giblon and Fournell. Cation has not
been playing billiards for some time, and
a few days ago closed a substantial con-
tract with the Monopole Champagne
company TO act as one of its Western
agents.
But while I am in the wine business,
if any opportunities come up for a suita-

I will rise to the occasion, Cation con-

YANGER-LENNY TO CLASH.
Clever Youngsters Will Box in Chi
cage Tonight.

CHICAGO, March 16.-Benny Yanger is
to meet Eddie Lenny, of Philadelphia, IN
a contest at the American Athletic club
tomorrow night. For the first time in
the local boys career he Will face a
man whom Fasteners look upon as the
personifcation of a scientific boxer. Up
TO date Yanger is still looked upon by
many critics and ring fo1tcwers as a
rugged little fellow with an unlimited
amount of strength, courage and stam-
ina, but that is as far as they care to
laud the Italians fighting abilities. In his
many local contests it has been frequent
ly remarked that Yanger knows little
or nothing about protecting himself,
that it has been more through good for
tune than anything else that someone
has not found a vulnerable spot in his
anatomy long ago, and that it is
only a question of time when he will
meet a featherweight who will box rings
around him"
Lenny brings reputation from the
East which must incline one to think
he is ''sOme shuckS'' in the boxing line
Those who have seen him in action aver
that there is not a featherweight in the
business that can outspeed the Phi!adel-
phian, especially in six rounds.

Raw SILK Main Export.

The leading article of export was raw
silk, which amounted in value to 1900,
900 yen last year, and The next was the
habGtai silk valued at %, 900 yen.
Such a large volume OF export business,
especially of raw silk, as attained last
YEAR has no parallel in the history Of
JapanS foreign trade. The disturbance
IN North China, which restricted COM
merce with that country, having been
settled and confidence restored. the trade
in that direction will assume its normal
condition, and there is a very bright out-
look for the future. Under these cir
cumStances there seems TO be no doubt
that the balance of trade will be turned
In Jdpans favor in the course of the
current year.
Wniie the export trade is continually
expanding, the import trade has a slight
tendency to recede, as shown by the

Notwithstanding the fact that there
was speculative Importation of certain
classes OF goods, TO the amount of about
10,G00,G00 yen, during last year, Oh &C
count of the enforcement OF the new
tariff, the total value of imports was
less than the preceding year Though
the volume of import trade does not
show such increase, its general tendency
cannot be said to be retrogreSSiYe, but
On the contrary It would be proper To
say that Jaran has returned to the
tinuous excess of imports over exports
has been caused by the excessive i'm
portation Of articles for temporary use.
The principal articles brought in during
last year were cotton to the value OF
1G, 100000 yen; sugar, 35,el0OG0 yen: petro-
leum, 4O009000 machinery, i000l000 yen,
and rice, 10000,000 yen.
In short the foreign trade for Japan
the last year showed an extra ordinary
large figure in export trade its total val
ue exceeding the previous year by 81
100000 yen, while its imports were 81, 0O0,
coo yen less than the preceding year.
The principal imports which decreased IN
value were shirtings, cotton prints, NOUS
seine delaine, rails, iron, steel, rice and
Velvets.
The report on railway development
shows that since the government con-
structed its first line of eighteen miles
from Yokohama to Toxic, in 1872, a great
trunk line of 1900 miles has been built,
and the total mileage of the country has
increased to 4,021 which in 1900 handled
113, 100000 passengers and 14,e00, 600 tons of
freight. OF the total mileage 1851 miles

The foreign commerce of the country has
made rapid progress, not being hamper

as can be seen from the foregoing fig-

over exports is partly due to the remark
able progress of enterprises, and partly
to the rise III the standard Of living IN

At the New York democratic conven-

nominated Bird S. Coler for Governor on
Wednesday, the following plank which is
most startling departure for the party to
make, was inculcated in the platform
eve advocate the national ownership
and operation of the anthracite coal mines
by the exercise of the right of eminent
domain, with just compensation to the
owners. Ninety per cent of the anthra-
cite coal deposits of the world being in
the State of Pennsylvania, national
ownership can but be in the interest of
the whole people. Fuel, like water, being
public necessity, we advocate national
ownership and operation of the mines as
a solution of the problem which will re-
lieve the country from the sufferings
which follow differences between labor
and capital in the anthracite mines.
Whatever differences of opinion
may exist over other propositions of pub
lie ownership, the propriety Of that policy
as applied to anthracite coal mines must
be apparent to every citizen"
