sumption to have been S0.102 metric tons

year aggregated in value s31 .J00,oo0 and

ures to the State Department United States
Consul Harris at Mannheim says that the
use of cigars and cigarettes Is well nigh
universal In Germany and that their man

Now After Boston Nationals.

1t is said that the next move contem-
plated on the National League checker
board is the transfer of the Boston National
League team to new hands. 1t is reported
in Boston that the matter has been under
way for some time. and that a new or
ganizaton will take hold Of the matter in
that city.
1t is well known that the club can be
had at price. Matters have been moving
very quietly to that end, and it is believed
that this Is the bomb that Barney Dreyfuss
alluded to when he succeeded in putting
through the Philadelphia deal. The Bostan
venture is regarded as a very good prop
erty and it is said there has been little
difficulty in securing the amount necessary
to put through the deal.

ONE MAN BADLY HURT.
Panic Among Passengers on a Burn
ina Street Car.

New York, May 20.-In a wild rush
OF frightened passengers to escape
from a burning street car near Cypress
Hills. Long Island, Michael Murphy of
Jamaica was pushed through a win
dow and so badly cut by the glass
that his condition is critical.
The car was on it's way to Jamaica
when a flash of fame shot from the
trucks and the motorman brought the
a to a halt. Before the passengers
were aware Of the danger fire worked
through the floor and caught the trim
ming on the seats. The twenty-five
passengers jumped to their feet and
started toward the real door. Two
women fell in a faint on the floor.
but the crowd was too intent on saw
ing themselves to pay any attention
to them.
1t was in the jam at the door that
Murphy was crushed against the win
dow with such force that the glass
broke and he was shot out onto the
ground. AS he fell fragments of glass
cut his face and hands in a dozen
places and a ragged edge caught his
foot. The weight of his falling body
sent the sharp edge through his cloth
ing and severed an artery in his ankle

President Roosevelt Raises His Voice in
Favor of Good Roads at the St. Louis
Meeting.

If bent on pleasure; II an ordinary
rainstorm means that tho farmers boy
or girl cannot use their bicycles, you
have got to expect that those who
live in the rural districts will not find
farm life attractive"
we should all encourage any check
to the unhealthy flow from the country
to the city"
This movement in favor of govern
ment aid is gathering strength day by
day. 1t will reach such proportions
by the meeting of the next congress
that no congressman who has any re-
gard for his own popularity will be
able to resist it. Several conversions
occurred during this national conven.
ton. Several who came prepared to
resist the movement were astonished
at the depth and unanimity of senti.
ment among the delegates of all politi-
cal parties. The impulse is gathering
strength, and he who would MOI be
swept away must move with it,"
