Egyptian army as major, serving for
one year, at the end Of which he re-

IMPORTING Cotton Goods.

Considering that cotton manuactur-
ing is one of the great industries of the
country. particularly of many of our
New England cities, it is somewhat of
a surprize to one not thoroughly ac-
quainted with conditions. to learn that
this country imports vastly more cotton
goods than it exports. During the last
fiscal year, our exports of cotton manu-
features amounted, in round figures to
S32,O00.0 0e, while our imports reached
the great total of $52,00O,000 showing
a balance of $2O.0OO,0O0 against us in
the cotton trade. A dozen years ago,
this country imported cotton goods to
a less value than it now exports, but
the importation figures have steadily
advanced. Since this is the greatest
cotton raising country of the globe, it
seems as though we ought to manu-
acture many million dollars worth more
than are shipped to US from abroad.
1t has been urged that these imported
cotton goods are largely of finer
goods, and that there are not in this
country the skilled labor to produce
them. This seems strange since Amer
lea is able to command such labor for
other technical processes. 1t is more
reasonable to assume that our mills

ed scarcely a ripple in the market. al
Though reports showed the continued ne
ceSSity of precautionary measures at
Pittsburg Dissatisfaction was expressed
with the conditions in the coal trade
growing out of a large accumulation of
steam sizes of anthracite and the active
large production of bituminous coal for
shipping lot seaboard. The latter traffic
is reported to be in a semi-demoralZed
condition and at the same time the asser-
tion gained currency that the attorney
general of Virginia contemplated a pro-
ceeding to contest the control by the

was not more than nominal and did not
prevent an advance which included repre-

character of the market seemed to have

The House Where | Was Born.

Round the little old deserted house the
noisome weeds are growing,
And the wind unhndered WanderS
Every rafter beam and sash the finger
marks of Time is showing.
And Decay is running riot Ger the rup-
bish covered floor.
Here rotting pillar staggcrs, ehere an
aged beam is falling;
Over yonder says the mantleplece, de-
jected and forlorn;
There is helpleSSneSS pathetic ana the
voice Of Old Age calling
From each crumbing bit of mortar in
the house where | was born.
Here before the ancient fireplace, where
the dust of years is lying,
/ first saw the future pictured as l
watched the embers glow;
Here [ lay in boySh dreaming, while the
shadows, fitting, flying,
Were hundred ghosts OF fancy as they
wandered to and fro;
Little knew l of the universe which
spread itself around me
In a canopy of azure and sea OF way
ing corn;
All my world was on ne hearthstone
where my childhood dreaming found
] was king-and my dominion was the
house where [ was born.
They were happy days--God rest them
for my feet had ne er been straying
Where the soul is bruised and broken
by the brambles of turmoil:
Ne'er the long years of anxiety my tenn
pies had been graylng,
Nor my weary form bowed earthward
meath the heavy hand of toll:
Earth was then a wonder palace. From
the eastern window gazing
| teheld the new moon hanging like a
shining silver horn;
And far down upon the heavens bright
the evening star was blazing:
Both We're shining. just to please me.
Ger the house where | was born.
I have passed from it forever. All the
wonder and the glamour
OF the little eastern window from the
world have worn away:
have seen its disappointment; l have
heard its empty clamOr;
And the house L once thought wonderful
how pititul today!
But VINO knows ?-Perhaps eternity may
bring a realizing
Of the things my fancy painted over
childhood,s early morn;
And, mayhap, the gilt of prophecy was,
after ALL arising
In my heart when | lay dreaming in the
house where | was born.

The Battle in New York.

| The heavy registration in the New
York municipal fight is taken as a
hopeful sign for the reelection of May
or Low and the triumph of good gov
eminent in that city. This is SO be-
cause the great problem, in that city as
in many others, has been to get the
better element of voters to register and
go to the polls. The apathy of this ele-
ment has been one of Tammanys best
means of winning elections. for the
Tammany vote could always be counted
on. The Tiger is always sure that it's
supporters, whatever the circum-
stances, will register and will vote for
it early in the day, and as often there
after as circumstances permit. When
we consider that the registra ton in
New York city is almost as large as the
total population of Maine we get some
idea Of the proportions of the coming
election. In 1901. Mr.. Lows plurality
was 3O1l0. Registration this year is

net increase. in the fusion districts, of
1854, and net. decrease in the Tam
many strongholds of 2,571, making the
final advantage to the fusion cause of
11,425.
These figures give the fusionists
courage and they are waging the battle
for the continuation of clean and hon.
est government in the metropolis with
renewed earnestness. They are aware
of the fact that their great city is on
trial before the country for its capacity
for decent and elf-government. They
are helped by the weakness of Tam
many's candidate for mayor. Congress
man Mcclellan, who is known to be q
mere puppet to the corrupt Tammany
ring, and by serious Democratic split

with desperate energy for it realizes
well that two successive defeats will
be terrible blow to its prestige, while
the fusionists realize that a defeat will
undo practically all the good work that
has been done since they saved the city
from the rule Of vice and graft, two
years ago. The friends of good gov
eminent everywhere, irrespective of
party Affiliations, sincerely hope that
the fusion cause may triumph and that
the great metropolis of this land may
not again be made a prey of the de-
spoilers.

Soldier, Traveller, Novelist.

The name of Richard Henry Savage,
who died, as A result of an accident in
Washington. last week. was one we'll
known to the great masses Of the peo-
pie. and yet the newspapers have had
little more about him than the bare
announcement of his death AS an
army officer, he did brilliant service in
many fields and as writer he gave
the world some 80 volumes, most OF
them works of fiction. which were inn
mensely popular for a time, but giving
their author only an ephemeral fame.
One notable incident of his career
occurred at Havana, where he had the
honor to be the American officer who
hoisted the first American flag over the
captured capital at the close of the war
with Spain. OF his literary works. his
first novel. entitled MY Official Wife"
was probably the best one. 1t was
translated into no fewer than II lam
guages, besides being dramatized and
burlesqued. He was a public speaker
OF much ability and his speeches and
addresses before colleges and patriotic
societies make several volumes. His
novels, as a whole, were of much the
same type as those written by Archi-
bald Cfavering Gunter. and did not
have the meritorious qualities that in
sure long life. His friends and admir-
ers cannot help feeling that he was
capable of higher literary work than he
had done and deeply deplored the sad
accident which cut him down in his
prime.
Col Savage was born in Utica, N. Y,
on June IL, 1886. He went to San
Francisco at an early age, where he
was one Of the first public school chill
dren in that city. While in the West
