A census bureau bulletin shows that
the gross value of the manufactured
products of the United States in 1900
was $13,040,013 1913, an increase of 49,
667,576,35,, or 39.1 per cent, over 1890.
This gain was remarkable, but if all
goes well and if the present rate of
growth is anywhere nearly maintained
the increase between 1900 and 1910
should be much more pronounced. In
dustristly this country is growing more
rapidly than ever before, but of course
there are likely to be temporary inter
ruptions sooner or later to this
growth

Latest statistics of immigration

more effective immigration law. The
prosperity of the country is stin at
tracing thousands of immigrants, and

were 29,74- arrivals at tie port of New
York, against 1,947 in the corresponds
ing month in 1901. The total number
of immigrants at this one port for the
eight months of the fiscal year up to
March 1 was 226, 5S1. The total for the

That American anthracite coal has
failed in Germany is not surprising.
The coat is all right, but it was put to
an unfair test, being used in the por-
celain stoves so dear to the hearts of
Germans. These stoves are designed
for the use of peat or bituminous bri-
quettes as fuel, and naturally anthra-
cite is not adapted to them. But if
Germans will try American anthracite
coal in connection with American
stoves the results will probably be sat
isfactory to them. They may have to
come to it, as the question of fuel is a
serious one in the empire.

MURDERS MISTRESS.
Deadly Revenge of a Negro Servant
in Philadelphia.
Accused of Theft He Kills Mrs. Ella
Kurdish and Daughter Madeline
Another Child Wounded-Mur-
derer Caught and COnfesses.

Philadelphia, April 2.-Fearing that
he would be arrested for theft, Will
liam ii. Lane, colored butler, shot
and killed his employer, Mrs. Ella j.
Furhush, her 12-year-old daughter
Madeline and probably mortally
wounded another daughter, Eloise,
aged seven years, at their home, No.
$50 North Fifteenth street, shortly
before noon Tuesday. Lane, who is
25 years of age, escaped from the
house, and four hours later was cap
tured by Philadelphia detectives while
waiting in Camden, N. j., to board a
train for Bridgeton, n. J. He was i'm
mediately brought to this city, was
identified by little Eloise and confessed
his crime.
A Cold BIooded Murder.
After being accused of the theft of
money belonging to his mistress, Lane
went to the third floor of the resi-
dence and found Mrs. Furbush in one
of the middle rooms. He instantly
shot her twice, once in the breast and
then through the heart. She died in
stantly. Eloise, who was in another
room, hearing the noise, ran in to see
| what was the matter, and as she en-
tered Lane shot her in the abdomen.
She fell and he thought he had also
killed her. Without even attracting
| the attention of the other servant, WIN o
was ironing in the outkitchen, Lane
went to the front door and called in
Madeline, who was skating on roller
skates on the sidewalk. He told her
that her mother wanted her on the
third floor, and without the slightest
suspicion of the tragedy that was be-
ing enacted and that she was going to
her death Madeline climbed the stairs
without removing her skates. She
went into a room adjoining that in
which her mother lay dead. Lane fol-
lowed her, and as she cheerily called
her mother the negro shot her through
the heart, killing her instantly.
Robbed the House.
Lane, in his confession, says ne then
proceeded to rob the house. He found
only $3.50, two watches and pocket
book, and while he was searching for
the jewelry he was interrupted by the
arrival of two special policemen who
had warrant for his arrest on the
charge of larceny. They asked to see
Mrs. Furbush, and Lane showed them
to the receiving-room on the second
floor and said he would call his mis-
tress Recognizing one of the men as
an officer, Lane hastily donneo his
overcoat and escaped by the rear of
the house. All was quiet in the house
and the policemen, hearing a moan,
started an investigation, and on the
third floor hallway found little Eloise
To the policemen she said: william
shot my mother and my sister and
tried to kill me-" She was imm ediate-
ly sent to a hospital and the police
drag-net was put in motion. Lane was
traced to the Pennsylvania railroad
station at Camden, where he was rec
ognized by one of the policemen he
had admitted to the house. The Off
GERS hustled him on ferryboat and
out of the jurisdiction of the state of
New Jersey and took. him to the city
hall.

was sorry for what he had done. He

alive, and said he always liked her and
hesitated to kill her, but ut was nee
