PULLMAN CARS BURNED.
Two of Them and Two Day Coaches De
strOyed at Mott Haven.

NEW YORK, March 9.-John Heating,
night watchman Of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad Company's
yards, at Mott Haven, discovered early
yesterday morning that sleeping car No.
2.009, which was on track in the yards
at 159th Street and Grant Avenue. was
on fire. He tried to put out the flames,
but seeing that 1t was beyond his power
called a patrolman who sent in an alarm.
By the time the firemen arrived the blaze
had extended TO the Pullman palace car
Finland, and to two day coaches. All the
cars were badly burned. Superintendent
Humphries, of the yard. estimated the
damage at $1,000.
1t is not known what was the cause of
the fire, but the police and many of the
employees Of the yard say that 1t must
have been incendiary. Acting on this
assumption the police are looking fol-
the supposed firebug. Superintendent
Humphries would not express any opln-
lon on the subject.

Imports into Exports from
Goods That Are Exported.

The exports from the United States to
Spain are chiefly articles for use in manu-
featuring, cotton, lumber. crude mineral
OIL and tobacco being the principal arti-
cIes in the list, by far the largest in the
list being cotton. Our imports from Spain
are chiefly fruits and nuts. wines. chemi-
calls, corks and cork bark, and iron ore
of a special grade not readily produced
in the United States. Lemons and oranges
form 4 much smaller proportion of the
imports now than few years ago, due to
the fact that citrus fruits are now largely
produced in the United States. The i'm
portation of raisins has also greatly re-
duced in value, by reason of the increased
production OF raisins in the United States.
Imports of preserved and other fruits
from Spain have, on the other hand, in
creased, as have also those CT almonds
and other nuts.
The following tables show the principal
articles imported into the United States
from and exported from the United States
to Spain during the fiscal year 1901, the
detailed figures for the calendar year not
being at present available:

WANTS A LIFE CAST
OF THE PRESIDENT
Garet Says He Will Make an
Effort to Get One.
DEATH MASK OF GEN. GARCIA
Presented to the National Museum by
the Famous Sculptor-Shows Plainly
Terrible Wounds He Inflicted Upon
Himself.

The death mask of Gen. Callxto Garcia,
showing plainly the terrible wounds which
he inflicted upon himself, in an attempt
| at self-destruction, has lately been pre-
sented to the National Museum. The
features Of the famous Cuban patriot are
strong, resolute, and stern, even in that
repose that no living expression can show.
BY all means the most striking features
| about this mask are two deep indenta-
tions, one between the eyebrows and an
other beneath the prominent chin. That
Garcia must have met violent death is
the natural thought of the spectator, as
he contemplates these marks of the hor-
rible wounds.
Nevertheless for twenty-five years Gen.
Calixto Garcia survived his attempt to
end his life, when, in the Cuban insurrec-
tfon of 1873, accompanied by mere hand
ful OF men, and surrounded by an over
whelming force of Spaniards, he placed
his revolver beneath his chin and fired
what he believed would prove a fatal
shot.
Gift of Garet, the Sculptor
The mask was presented to the Ma
tional Museum by the sculptor E. Garet
who made it shortly after General Gar
cfa's death in this city December IL,
1885, Mr.. Garet has made the death masks
of several eminent men who have died in
Washington, notably Lord Herschell the
original of which he now has in his pos
session, as well as replica.

continued, this rule / broke on one oc-
casion. / made the mask of a famous
Senator who died here. and his widow in
sisted on retaining the first cast, which
was taken directly from the features of
her dead husband. / wondered how she
was able to distinguish the original when,
to convince her that replica was just
as good, l placed three, including the
original, side by side. 1t appeared, how
ever, that she had noticed three hairs
which adhered to the plaster of the first
mask which enabled her to distinguish
It from the copies. She clasped 1t in her
arms, and so-what could I do?
Wants to Cast Presidents Features.
81 will ask President Roosevelt to let
me take a cast of his features-in life, OF
course. Is 1t a very trying operation?
Not at ALL 1t is. indeed much easier
than making a death mask. The plaster
over the mouth and nostrils is put on
last. and, If the subject cannot retain his
breath for a sufficient length OF time
less than a minute-quills are inserted.
The whole operation only lasts about five
minutes.
II make agcast of the whole head, al
though most artists content themselves
with the form OF the face. You look at
this head I made of General Garcia, and
you note the extraordinary length from
the ears to the forehead-very character

DOVER. Del, March 9. = The Dover
postmaster has received many applica-
tions for positions as letter carriers.
There will be three regular carriers and
probably two substitutes employed here
by the Postoffice Department on May 1.
The salary will not be less than $500,
and may reach SO per day, exclusive of
Sunday. when people will have to do all
their business at the postoffice. The ap-
plicants must not be less than eighteen
years old nor over ifty-fve. AS regular
Republicans have control of the Federal
patronage, 1t is predicted that enough
regular workers will be made to run the
examination gauntlet to fill the positions.

A NEW RULE ON MARRIAGE.
Eo Man Should Wed Before He Has
Saved SIoo.

HARTFORD, Conn, March "a sin
gle man earning sl.50 a day should lay by
rs cents day and should not get married
until he has s100 saved up" said Judge
Simeon E. Baldwin, of the Connecticut
Supreme Court, to the Workingmen's Club
OF this city.
He was talking on spending and saving
as a subject which the workingmen should
study.
There is a general tendency" he said,
ito spend more money than is necessary;
everyone is spending too much money. Go
down the street and you will find many
merchants spending much more money
than they can afford Lace curtains are
too frequent in workingmen's homes.
Il have travelled abroad considerably,
and ! saw no other country where they
spent so much on the table or ate so much
as in the United States. Nobody ought to
eat more than two heavy meals a day.
There is intemperance in eating as well as
in drinking. The American workingman
eats twice much meat as the European.
The whole American nation is spending
too much in eating and in furnishing the
home. Although the nation is much in
riches, people are not saving as much in
proportion to income as fifty years ago.
The people are making too much display,
too much DASH and are too extravagant
in many ways"

chant, who died three years ago, leaving
an estate valued at a million. To the
young Dorter's mother, now dead, was
left S275, 600. This is to be divided equally
among seven children, of whom Keffer Is

Big INCREASE IN
SPANISH COMMERCE
Her Relations Resumed With
Greater Activity.
YEAR WITHOUT PRECEDENT
Growth Especially Interesting at Present
Time in View of the Fact That Our
Exports to Many European Ports Show
Decline.

Commercial relations between the
United States and Spain have been re-
sumed with apparently greater cordiality
| and certainly with greater activity than
| ever before. The figures of the Treasury
Bureau of Statistics show that both the
imports into the United States from
Spain and exports from the United States
to Spain were, with a single exception,
greater in the calendar year 1901 than in
any preceding year.
Our imports from Spain during the
year ending with December, 1901, amount
ed to 5000, T5S, and our exports to Spain
were 16,7S5,711. Comparing 1901 with
1881, it is shown that our imports from
Spain have grown from s4,90S, AIS to ST.
040,75S, and that exports to Spain from
the United States have increased from
2,ss7,477 to SIG, ,7S5, Ill Comparing pres
ent conditions with those of 1898, it ap-
pears that our imports from Spain have
increased from $685. ,3cS in 1898, to the
aforementioned figures s7,040.75S and
our exports to Spain from sS,O50,475 to
SIG. 1856, III, as already stated.
An Interesting Feature.
This growth in the commerce with
Spain is especially interesting at the
present moment in view of the fact that
our exports to many of the other Euro
pean countries show a decline. In the
calendar year 1901 our exports to Aus
tria- Hungary, France, Germany, Greece.
Italy, Portugal, Russia, Sweden and Nor
IT,Nst-
dom show decrease as compared with
1900; while to Spain they show an in
crease from SIS, zoe, ,917 to s16,7S5, Ill. On
the import side our imports from Austria
Hungary, Germany, Russia, Sweden and
Norway, and Switzerland show de-
crease, while those from Spain have in
creased from s5,3s2 ,662, in 1900, to 81
040,75S in 1901.

merce between the United States and

A Rare Bird

British army pets are OF necessity
limited in number by regulation !;
otherwise each regiment would be-
numbered with u menagerie. But
whenTommy Atkins wants new pei
very much he generally finds a way
round rules, even if it involves a lit
tie cutting of red tape, and he is as
sisted by his official superiors ifas Of
ten they are kind-hearted.
A troopship lately put i'm ut Malta
few hours, and one the sergeants
went ON shore 10 pay u visit to "a
soldier who was stationed there.
When he returned he carried q
small woolly dog under one arm. IL
was an engaging young thing, but
the quartermaster steeled his heart
and shook his head.
Official number of dogs already
on ship, said he, uncompromising-
ly.
The sergeant tried palaver, but il
availed nothing, SO after looking
perplexed for a space he reentered
the boat in which he had come oil to
the ship, and returned TO the shore.
When he came back he carried a
bird cage containing q strange look
ing creature. Ii was covered with
gray feathers, but it had four legs.
Cant pass that dog ON board
ship. said the sentry, and the quar-
termaster bore out his verdict.
Dog, sir?" echoed the sergeant,
in surprise and disgust. Can I
you tell Maltese bird Of paradise
from dog? And you that up in
feathers that perfessers consult with
ye!''
PASS ON John Smith aud one NAL
tese bird Of paradise." sang out the
quartermaster, with broad grin.
There isn't any order against
taking birds on board as | know :
on" remarked John Smith, n lie
came over the other side. And his
expression of triumph did not fade
even when, in the course Of few
days, the feathers ON the rare bird
came OF in the wash. Youth : Com
