white corduroy and cloth, and white wool frocks as we'll as muslins are be- ing shown in the greatest variety.
 No great change is noticeable from last season in childrens fashions If anything, especially notable are the long waisted effects rather than short waisted. White is to be far the most popular color for spring and summer and for girls as old as 10 years of age. White corduroy is not the only favorite material; but white pique and white
 linen frocks are also considered very smart. White serges and cashmeres, too, and the very pretty corded white wash silks for older girls,
 The boys will have white ducks and drilling suits for afternoon wear, and small boys will have white corduroys for dress occasions, Boys from 10 years old up nowadays have the most stylish little Tuxedo suits, the coat cut like a mans dinner coat.

HOW JoCKo CARRIED OFF THE
 TAM

A sweet little story concerning a pet monkey and pot of jam is vouched for by a Johns Hopkins University man now residing on McCulloch street
 It was in the country and all on a summers day the family monkey was seen acudding homeward literally drenched in raspberry jam. He was pursued by an irate neighbor with up lifted broom, but once safe on the home plat he swung himself lightly into the nearest tree and peacefully listened to her tale of wrong.
 It seems the neighbor had some hours before been making jam, great bowl of which sat cooling on a table beneath the trees This the monkey spied, but had scarcely started literally. helping himself to it when he was discovered With loud outcry and the broom the lady started toward him, when the mis- chievous beast, knowing his minutes were numbered, hastily overturned the bowl on the table. Then rolling himself ioyously in it several times from head to heels he scampered beyond her reach. During the recital of her woe and in fact for the remainder of the day, the monkey sat scoopng the sweetmeat from his body and licking his paws with glee-Baltimore Sun.

GREAT INCREASE IN TRADE.
American Agricultural Products E1
 ported Last Year Nearly a Million.

Washington, April 6.-The depart
 ment of agriculture has issued a state
 ment of the foreign trade of the United
 States in agrucultural products. It
 shows that during the fiscal year 1901
 foreign countries purchased American
 00O, representing the largest agricultur-
 al exports in our history. Compared
 with the ecord for 1900 they show an | increase # over S100.000.000.
 Our agricultural imports, on the other
 hand. discloses considerable falling
 off wher contrasted with the trade of | the year preceding. The various prod
 ucts of agriculture received from for | eign sources during 1901 had an aggre- | gate value of only 1892, 000,000, or $2S- | 100000 less than in 1900.
 | In comparison with the value of our
 agricultural imports our agricultural exports shows the exceptionally large excess of $560, 100000
 It Is further shown that owing to the fact that our import and export trade with Hawaii and Porto Rico was not included as previously, in the foreign commerce returns of the United States for 1901 a comparison of the statistics for that year and the year preceding is not altogether satisfactory, and that to make an accurate comparison of our total agrucutural imports and exports for 1901 and the year before, the 1901 figures should be increased to the ex- tent of our trade with Hawaii and Por- to Rico, but complete statistics as to Ina of b1 nf ture exchanged on that trade during 1901 were not to be had: In 1900 our agricultural imports from Hawaii and Porto Rico were valued at about s24, 000000 and our agricultural exports to those islands at about $5.000,00O
 The leading items among our agricul- tural imports for 1901 were sugar cof- fee, hides, and skins, silk, vegetable flores, fruits and nuts, tobacco, wool, tea, wines, cocoa, vegetable oils, dis titled spirits seeds, vegetables and spices, the combined value of these items amounting to about $35S, ,000, ,OOO
 During 1901, for the first time in sev- eral years, our exports of cotton ex- ceeded in value our exports of bread stults. After cotton anu Dreadstutis, which held the first and second places in our agricultural export trade, meat products formed the largest item Addi- tional exports of leading importance, as named in the order of their value, were live animals, tobacco, vegetable oils, oil cake and oil cake meal, fruits and nuts dairy products and seeds. These ten items comprised in value nearly 97 per | cent of our total shipments of farm produce for 1901.

4 ESPER4TE FIGHT.
Three Men Killed in an Attempt to
 Arrest n Negro.

| Tuscumbia, Ala, April 6-Three men are dead, three mortally wounded and four seriously wounded as the result of Sheriff Gassaways attempting to-day to arrest Will Reynolds, a desperate negro. The casualties, except the death of Reynolds himself, are the result of the deadly fire of Reynolds with Win chester. The negro was in his turn rid died and thrown into fire.
 Sheriff Gassaway went to a negro set clement, "Knardtown," this morning to arrest Will Reynolds for obtaining goods under false pretenses. The off, cer was met by the negro, who opened fire with his rifle, wounding the sheriff and immediately firing upon the dep uty, William Gassaway, who was some three hundred yards away, mortally wounding him.
 As soon as possible every man in town who could procure a gun was in the neighborhood, but owing to the To- cation no one dared to venture out in the open space. Dynamite was procur- ed and the house in which the negro was barricaded was fired upon. but to no effect. At 1 o'clock Captain Simp- son, of the Wheeler Rifles, arrived with twelve guns and one thousand car tridges, which were distributed among twelve picked men. This company was stationed around the house and riddled it, but the negro had taken refuge in the cellar and returned the fire, killing one man and wounding another. Coal oil was then procured and after four hours of hard work the houses adJoin- ing that in which the negro was locat- ed were fired. About o'clock the house in which the negro was located was fired by the Wheeler Rifles, who had arrived on the scene. The negro took refuge in shed and opened fire, killing a man and wounding a second, but the people and some militiamen riddled the negro and the crowd, numbering one thousand, grabbed the body and threw it into the burning building Robert Wallace who was killed was closing In on the negro, who shot him through the body His body fell in the burning de- bris, but was recovered. Relic seekers cut off the neero's fingers and such parts of the body as could be procured.
 Three houses were burned in the ef- fort to reach the negro. Several horses were killed in the battle. Tonight it is reported that the sheriff and his brother have no chance to live, So deadly was the negro's aim that it was possibly an hour before the body of one of his victims could be recovered No shot was fired by Reynolds that did not tell when those whom he was firing up- on could be seen.

HDRY" SUNDAY IN NEW YORK
(Continued from First Page.)

(Continued from First Page.)
 tors saw that the law was closely ob- served.
 In the 'Tenderloin" now known as the "White Light" district with its multitude of dram shops, liquor was sold but only under conditions which proved drawbacks to many of the thirs- ty. In many of the saloons the shades were drawn in the bar-rooms, but inn provised bars were established in up- stairs rooms and there those known to the ''lookouts" were admitted and served. In one or two places the pro- prietors established what is known as Kansas speak easy or blind pig" This consisted of a circular opening in a wooden partition into which was fit etd round board, arranged so as to swing about. On each side of the round door was a shelf on which the bartender could serve drinks to the waiter without being seen and even if 2 the police had succeeded in getting in they could not have arrested the bar tender as no one could see him. The customer placed his cash on the little shelf, at the same time calling out his order. A moment later the little door would swing around and on the shelf on the reverse side of the circular door the customer would find the desired drink,
 Drinks were served all day at all of the big Broadway and Fifth avenue hotels in the dining rooms and although they were sold within the prescribed hours, no attempt was made to inter- fere with them. No one, however, was permitted to sit down and order a drink, even though he ordered a sand wich at the same time. The hotel folk insisted that eomet hing akin to a sub- stantial meal be ordered at least.
 For the first time in many years the saloons in the residence section in up- per Harlem were all closed. Despite all the excise excitement in the city from time to time the liquor dealers in that section have kept open.
 On the Bowery it was exceedingly hard to get a drink. The saloonkeepers were not ready to take chances of ar rest and for the most part kept their doors locked
 Over in Brooklyn the closing law was generally observed and in Queens the saloons closed, leaving the trade to the hotels, which served drinks with meals. This applied as well to Richmond bor- ough.
 The afternoon was rainy and this kept the crowds at Coney Island to a low figure. The saloons proper closed for the most part and the hotel keep CTS, if they sold liquor, did it on the quiet.
 Hugh Dolan, president of the Liquor Dealers association of the state of New York, said the association would fur nish no assistance to those saloonkeep- who had been arrested, as all had been instructed to close.
 The police also compelled the small shop keepers throughout the city to close except that the grocers and deli catessen shops were permitted to open until 10 o'clock as provided by law. For the first time in years the small goods shops in the upper part of the city had
The daily morning journal and courier., 1902-04-07

their doors locked and the stationery stores and the news stands were also compelled to close in many sections ot the city and in some instances the po- lice even ordered the confectionery stores closed
 Seventy-nine arrests for violations of the excise law were made in Manhattan and the Bronx between the hours or midnight Saturday and II o'clock to- night. There were in these two bor- oughs fourteen arrests for violations Of the Sunday closing law In Brooklyn the police reported twenty seven ar rests for violation of the excise law; there was one in Richmond and none in Queens. This is a total of l2l as against GA last Sunday.

S5,0OO FOR BoER SUFFERERS.
Illinois Cttizens' Subscriptions For
 wardsd to Cape Town.

Chicago, April GA certified check
 for $5000, drawn to the order of Presi- 1 dent Roosevelt, was forwarded to the president on March 2S by the commit | tee of citizens which Governor Yates | appointed in December last to raise funds for the relief of Boer women and children sufferers in the concentration camps of South Africa. Inasmuch as the committee was without satisfactory
 means for forwarding the money Presi- dent Roosevelt was asked to accept the
 money and have it forwarded through
 such channels as he might deem best
 to be disbursed for the relief of the sufferers for whom it was intended. A letter from Secretary Hay, under date of April 3, has been received by
 Peter Van Vlissingen, secretary of the Illinois committee, acknowledging the receipt of the check by President Roosevelt and stating that, as directed by the president, the money has been forwarded to the United States consul general at Cape Town, that being, in the presidents opinion, the most expe- ditious way of transmit ting it to its destination
 President Roosevelt and the secre- tary of state having so readily com piled with this first request MT. Van Vlissingen announced to-day that it was now the purpose of the committee to undertake the collection of much larger sum and that systematic eff fort will be made throughout the state to collect checks and drafts of one dol lar each payable to Theodore Roose- welt. These checks and drafts, MT Van Vlissingen states, will be forwarded to the president from time to time as they accumulate in his hands
