Catarrh Poisons.
catarrh is capable of changing all the

scalding fluids, which destroy and infame
every part they come in contact with. APP
plications to the places affected by catarrh

OUR PACIFIC TRADE.
Makes Poor Showing for the Fis-
cal Year Just Closed.
American Exports to All other Parts
of the World for the Same Period
show "a Large Increase
Reasons Therefor,

The Pacific ocean is the only part
of the statistical map of the world
which presents an unfavorable APP
pearance in the study of American
commerce in the fiscal year Just
closed. For all other parts of the
world the figures of American ex-
ports show a large increase. Ex-
ports to South America have in
creased $4,000, 900; to Africa, S6,Ooo,-
600; to North America. 100000 900,
and in Europe S100,000,o0O during the
II months ending with May, 1901, as
compared with the corresponding
months of the preceding fiscal year;
while as to Asia and Oceanica there
is an apparent reduction of over $780,
600, 900.
But this appearance of a reduction
in American trade with Asia and
Oceanica is more apparent than real.
If the exact figures of exports to the
Pacific coast and islands could be
given they would show little if any
decrease, despite the fact that the
conditions in China have cut off one
half of the exports to that country,
y
and that the overpurehases of cotton
in Japan last year have momentarily
reduced sales to the Yankees of the
orient. Total American exports to
Asia and Oceanica in the IL months
ending with May, 1909, were, in round
terms, S101.oo0,oo0, and those of the
corresponding months of the present
fiscal year only $4,000, 0Oo-an appar-
ent shortage of SOS, 100000. This show
ing is chiefly due to the inability of
the treasury bureau of statistics to
present any figures of exports to the
Hawaiian islands during the fiscal
year, owing to the fact that the Ia
waiian islands are now considered a
customs district of the United States,
and exporters to those islands take
advantage of the fact and decline to
furnish the information formerly
Supplied under the law which re-
CURED all exports and imports to be
stated when passing out of or into
the country. but which does not re-
quire statement of movement of
merchandise between ports and Gus
toms districts of the United States.
A careful study of the exports to
the Tawaiian islands. however, i.sti-
fes the assertion that the total for
the year will be fully S20.00o000. ard
this. if added to the total of exports
to the other Pacific islands and coun-
tries. would bring the total within
100000 of that of last year.

SMALL GIRL AvERTs WRECK.
Jacket Warns Engineer of
Horse on the Track.

A little blue-eyed heroine of eight
years in the person of Clara Schlosser
is receiving homage from scores of
thankful travellers and the members of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul
crew of passenger train No. 4. By her
presence of mind and bravery she
averted a wreck that must have been
disastrous but for her act.
The railway through Greenville, Ia,
makes a sharp turn near the Schlosser
home and the little girl knows as well
as the trainmen when the train should
arrive. A large dray horse in crossing
the track became fastened in the Gull
vert just before the train was due
Without a thought of danger to herself
the little girl threw off her red jacket
and ran down the track till she met the
passenger train. Wildly waving the red
jacket as she ran she warned the en-
gineer, who managed to stop the train
within a few feet of the child When it
was all over the passengers had cheered
her and cried over her and showered
her with silver and some gold coins
She told the engineer that she did not
think about the people on the train.
She was thinking only of the danger
the poor horsie" was in.

SPEED INCREASES COST.

Railroad Luxury.


At the convention of the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers the
other day paper on the cost of run
ming high speed trains was presented
by Prof. F. R. Hutton. An increase
of speed of 50 per cent, he said. re-
suits in a 80 per cent. increase in
coal consumption. Mr. Hutton
showed that track which witbstood
the pounding of heavy trains running
at slow speed is often damaged by
trains running over it more rapidly.
The consequences of accidents are
more serious, too, both in money loss
and in moral effect.

LOOK TO AMERICA.
Frenchmen After New Commercial
and Industrial Ideas.
scheme of Minister of Commerce, nj.
MiIIerand, to Establish Indus
trial College in United States
Highly Commended.

Franco-American commercial rela-
tions and the proposed French indus
trial college in America were warm
IL discussed at a NEE ting of the French
Industrial and Commercial society at
Paris, which is composed Of prominent
manufacturers and business men.
Senator Jules Siegfried, the former
minister of commerce, who recently
visited the United States, greatly inn
pressed his hearers with his argu-
ments in favor of reciprocity between
the two countries. Hequoted President
Rooseyelt's allusion TO that subject
in his message to congress, and said
that in case of the miners executing
their threat to declare a general
strike, French industrial interests
could reckon on big supplies of Amer
lean coal.
Francis Kimb.e, president of the
American chamber of commerce, who
was the guest of honor, said the cham
Der was equally DESTROYS of Franco
American reciprocity, and announced
that he had written to the minister of
commerce, NJ. Milierand, Offering the
chambers cooperation in the project
ed French industrial college in Amer
lea.
Other speakers expressed warm
praise of NJ. Nlillerand's college scheme
and the choice of America as the field
for experiment.
jacques siegfried said the union of
higher commercial schools had for
warded to NJ. AIillerand an appeal to
extend the scheme to the study of
American business methods, and send
a number of commercial students to
America on the same conditions as the
industria. students.
NJ. Siegfried also said that Amer
iea was as equally ahead in CONNER
cial ideas as in industry and proposed
that the society send NJ. Millerand a
similar appeal The suggestion was
accepted.
Mr.. Neiderlein. a representative of
the CONNIE rcial museum. of Philadel-
phia, then read letter which had been
sent to NJ. Millerand in behalf.of the
museum, offering the use of lab
oratory and workrooms. and even a
site for the proposed college. He said
he had just received rep.y from NJ
Millerand, thanking him for the offer.

.HATS-OFF LAW
MAY Be ENACTED.
Councilman James NJ. N. Allen
Will Introduce One
Shortly.

Councilman James NJ. N. Allen. of Mar
shall Ward. made known his intention
Yesterday afternoon of introducing at the
next meeting Of the Common Council an
ordinance requiring the ladies to remove
their hats during all performances in the
theatres of the city. He is In earnest
about the matter, and in the event the
bill becomes a law it is his intention to
see that it is rigidly enforced by the
management OF the local playhouses.
Mr.. Allen states positively that between
now and the January meeting OF the
Council he will get copies of similar. or
dances in other cities. and then have
the City Attorney prepare one to cover
every phase Of the matter. 1t is quite
probable that the measure will be so
drawn as to penalize the house manage
instead of the hat wearers. at the same
time authorizing the former to have eject
ed from their theatres such people as re-
fuse to conform with the law. In other
words. unless mana gers require every one
IN an audience to remove their hats 1t
will be up to the police to report them
for the violation
The necessity for an anti-theatre hat
law has often presented itself very forci-A

matter under consideration for some time.
