The tenderest sympathy of a whole
community goes out to the wife and
children who have been bereaved by
the death of George Z. Blair. Always
terrible to those who love, death came
to these so suddenly with his summons
that the bitterness of the blow is
doubly cruel, the loss almost unbeIiev-
able. It seems scarcely a day since the
husband and father was at his work.

to realize the dream of success which
buoys all Tight-minded men; and in the
midst of his dream when his out
stretched hand seemed about to grasp
the fruition of his hope, he was called
away. Those Of US who know the
strength of the dear ties that bind man
and wife in congenial companionship:
those who know the depth of the joys
that come with fatherhood and mother
hood, would, if we could, soften the

our TRADE WITH CUBA.

The Monthly Summary Of Commerce
and Finance, just issued by the depart
ment OF commerce and labor through
its bureau Of statistics, presents the
latest available statistics of our trade
with Cuba during April. 1905. and for
the ten months ending with April
1905, as compared with the cor
responding period of the preceding
year, from which it 1t is seen
that our trade with Cuba, both as
regards imports and exports. is for the
present fiscal year the largest on re-
cord. During the ten months ending
With April last, exports from the United
States to Cuba were valued at SCI. S19.-
$50. as against 81, S55,745 during the cor
responding period of the preceding fiscal
year and 81, 800. 500 during a like period
of the fiscal year 1898.
Exports from the United States TO
Cuba have increased 1873 per cent and
imports from cuba have increased. % &
per cent, comparing the ten months
figures of the present fiscal year with
the corresponding period of the pre-
ceding year. The. exports to Cuba dur
ing the ten months ending April so
1905, were valued at S31,3I9,52o. a gain
Of 50. 463. as. or 4S-3 per cent, while i'm
ports from Cuba in the teu-month
period ending April 50. 1903. were $50. -
al .259 in value. an increase Of SI2.7I7-
SO, or pa per cent as compared with
d like period Of the preceding year.
States from cuba have also increased
rapidly. Again. comparing the figures
of the present fiscal year with those Of
1898. the vast year Of Spanish control
over the island OF cuba, it is found that
imports into the United States from
cuba during the ten-month period
under review have increased from S12-
760. 1855 in 1898 to $50. 523. $40 in 1904 and
S69. Al. 259 in the present year ending
April 80. Thus exports to Cuba have in
creased - million dollars and imports
from cuba have increased IS million
dollars, when the ten-mOnth period OF
the present fiscal year is compared with
a like period Of the fiscal year of 1898.
In the ten months ending with ApriI
1898. imports into the United States
from Cuba exceeded exports from the
United states 20 cuba but a little more
than 4 million dollars: in the same
period Of the present year the excess of
Cuban imports into the United States
over exports to Cuba was IS million
dollars.
The large increases noted in the ex-
ports from the United States to Cuba
are illustrated by an analysis of the
trade by principal articles. Comparing
the exports during the ten-month period
of the present year with the correspond
ing ten months Of 1904. increases occur
as follows: Corn. 4O6 thousand bushels
over the exports of 1904 to April 90;
flour. nearly 50 thousand barrels. coal.
81 thousand tons; coffee, Il million
pounds; cotton cloths, 10 million wards:

fined mineral oil, about 1 million gal

s1lted OF picked pork, over l million
pounds; lard, nearly million pounds;
lard compounds. over million pounds;
boards, etc, Is II thousand NJ feet;
cattle, Il thousand head. and rice, a
marked increase of 80 million pounds
over the exports recorded for the ten
month period of 1894 only few i'm
portant items show decreases, viz,
crude mineral oil. 42O thousand gal
Ions; taIlow. ass thousand pounds;
