HORSES ARE VERY HIGH.
And Our Export Trade is Growing
Larger Year BY Year.

Every farmer knows that horses are
and most people do not know how to ac-
covnt for il. but all who read this arti-
Gle will be able to give at least one rea-
son for the increase in the price of horses
in this country. There are many other
reasons. but probably none more potent
than can be found in the following from
the Nat;onai Lire Stock Repor'rr:
Thirty five million dollars is Il large
amount of money to be- inve sted III horses
by one country during a period of only
six years; but according to recent En-
gliSh statistics. that sum represents the
value of the horses exported by the
United States to Great Britain from
1895 To 1901 And this has no reference
to our shipments of mules to the United
Kingdom. which from September. 1899,
TO December. 1901. aggregated in value
over 81, ,0O0,O During the single year
ending with June 1901, England received
from this country the record breaking
total of IS, 900 horses, and our entire ex.
ports of horses for that year amounted
to nearly $1,000, 900. These figures are
all the more remarkable, considering
that about 10 years ago. or in 1891, the
exports of horse from the United States
amounted to less than 81 100000.
These expectations began on "A large
scale In 1898. when over 10000 horses
were sent to England. From that time
1901, the record was as follows: South
Africa, 37,465: Great Britain. 22,69S;
Canada, s, ABS. Cuba. i.i36; China 2.3l7;
Philippines. .57s; Japan, l.555; British
Columbia. 795: and the British West
Indies, l9g. Since 1895 Great Britain
alone has received from the United
States. an average of $4,000 horses an
nually. Our exports have included
trottcrs, PAGERS. rOadsters. runners.
draft horses, and in fact, horses of all
sorts. which were capable either of
rendering immediate service or of being
used advantageously for breeding pur-
poses.
Our expectations of trotting horses
during the last ten years has been es-
pecially notable. There is scarcely IA
country in Europe which has failed To
appreciate the superior qualities of the
American bred trotter. Germany.
France, Russia and Austria all have
been large buyers of American thorough
breds Ctroiters) and in many instances,
American trainers have been selected 10
superintend the stables of these foreign
purchasers
Conspicuous among the buyers of
our stations, and mares has been Russia
which has secured such valuable ami
mails as Baron Rogers. 2.09a,; Edgar.
, l6i,: Nominee. 2.l1 !; and Bayrcnth.
c20'.. Russia has found our stations
to be of immense value for breeding
purposes in the conjunction with the
native mares of that country. Com.
parativc.y few American trotters are
being exported to France. owing tn the
custom duties restricting the importa
tinn of horses To that country, and also
To the French regulations prohibiting
their use.

REPUBLICAN D|SCORD.
Outlook for Two Years Ahead is

WASHINGTON, April 20.-"Not in 10

with the Democrats, and that is an end
of party responsibility and party disci-
pline.
Exactly the same situation prevails
in the Senate. There is no leader, aud
a few Senators who were elected as Re-

ANECDOTES Of TALMAGE.
Wouldn't Be Convinced lie Had
rlistaken His Calling.

DIR. Talmage's view of ministerial
dignity was always so divergent from
that of the old line. black robed divines
of the Reformed Dutch Church that il
was matter of surprise to many of his
friends that he chose that communion
at the start of his career. One of the
traditions of Herzog Hall Theological
Seminary in New Brunswick. where
he graduated, runs like this:
Talmage was an ungainly youngster,
full of originality as an egg is of meat,
but he did not commend himself to the
professors of the seminary as budding
clergyman. After he had preached his
first sermon there good old Dr. De Witt.
the president, thought the time had
come to have serious talk with the
young man. He took him away where
no one else could listen To their colloquy
and said:
"Mr. Talmage, | never like to dis
courage anybody, and rarely say what
l am going to say to you. You are in.
tellectually bright enough. l can easily
imagine that you might make success
in almost any field of life except In
preaching the Gospel. But, frankly
and in all kindness, must tell you that
l solemnly think you have mistaken
your calling Get position selling
goods behind a dry goods counter or
take clerkship in law office, or, if
necessary, follow the plow. but do not
think of becoming the pastor of a church.
You are not fitted for it at all 1t is a
great mistake for you to waste your
time.
"Talmage simply insisted that he
would 20 on and graduate. He did.
And before his pulpit career was ended
he had preached to hundreds where the
venerable DIR. De Witt had preached to
one. But those who tell the story down
in New Brunswick say that DIR. De Witt
never changed his mind. He was not
i'll the habit of changing his mind
The peculiar rhetorical style of DIR.
Talmage can best be understood from
an example. In one of his sermons in
the famous series devoted to the gamb-
ling hells of New York, of which he
had made a study. he electrified an
audience one Sunday morning with this
climax of oratory:
when they bet on one number they
call it gate
when they bet on two numbers they
call it saddle
when they bet on three numbers
they call it horse
And thousands of young men get
onto that gate and mount that saddle
and ride that horse to damnation -
1t was easy for the old style minister
to criticize that sort of rhetoric in the
pulpit. but such expressions stuck in
the memory of listeners, they had de.
c!ded burr-like quality. and those who
heard Talmage once wanted to hear
him again.
Much was written about DIR. Talmage's
trip TO the Holy Land. and especially of
his satisfied ambition to follow in the
footsteps of his Master and baptize some
one i'll the River Jordan Ii was as
serted that not finding a real convert
he improvised one. and some jokers
went so far as to declare that the poor
Arab who was baptized thought he was
going to be drowned by the stalwart.
long armed American divine, and
shrieked for mercy like good fellow.
But the opinion of DIR. Talmage's friends
was that this story was manufactured
out of whole cloth

When II comes down to the question or

to look like the basest imitation and
cheapest counterfeit besides the bitter
ness and gloom that enveloped the town
of Troy last night. To be beaten Twice
in one day by the despised Montgomery

worse by the fact that only one run was
scored In each game, barely saving

There was but one name sounded down

every one of the good things that were
thrown at him. He pitched both games
Of the. double header. in the first letting
them down with five widely scattered
hits, not giving base on balls and strfk-
ing out seven men; giving only one base
out one man. 1t was not only his box
work that gave him such big place in
the hearts of the Montgomery public, but
the manner with which he fielded his po-
sition. In the first game he had five as
sists with one error and in the second
one putout. four assists without an error

Only once before has anything like sucn

that was at the Chattanooga double

One of the most agreeable surprises of
the afternoon was the way in which the
street railway people handled the enor-

have a sufficient number of cars, still
they had every available trailer and ev-

other lines. The new cars ordered by

things considered the service with the
