ENGLISH TRADE IN CUBA.
Only Danger Under New Tariff Is in Metals,
says Minister


HAVANA. Jan. 2.-Iione Garden. the
British Minister here. in his report TO the
British Foreign Office. says there ia no
reason To apprehend that the preferential
treatment accorded by tho reciprocity
treaty to American merchandise will prove
sufficient to divert much If any trade in
certain branches from English merchants.
He refers especially TO rice. which he says
will continue TO be shipped here owing
10 the cheapness OF its production in British
India, and to English ale, which will con-
tinue 10 be- used here owing 10 local tastes
He also refers TO importation Of
British textile goods which will continue
TO find ready market in Cuba because
OF the superiority Of their manufacture.
coupled with the special attention paid by
British shippers 10 the wishes OF the con-
sumner in regard 10 quality and design.
Mir. Garden declares that these conditions
will prevail 80 lon6 Gs the present rates
are maintained.
In other branches Of industry, especially
In the metal trade the preference to the
Americans is sure to be felt British manu-
facturers will have to bestir themselves
II they wish 10 retain their share Of the
trade.
Mr. Garden thinks that with the growing
wealth OF the country the native imports
will change Eventually il will not be
necessary to bring IN cattle from abroad
and the importation OF articles OF luxury
will increase.

ward between two rows of sawed-of piles.
and the position indicated that II was thrown
there, as it would appear impossible for a
man to reach the place without deliberately
climbing over lot of Ice coated butts OF
piles and plunging into the trench. He
could not have fallen from the temporary
bridge, nor reached the middle OF the trench
| from either end.
The police from tho Third precinct were
called and the body was taken TO the station,
1t was identified at the morgue few hours
later. County Physician MoKensie ex-
amined the body.
He says the case is puzzling He found
no marks upon the body beyond wide
and deep cut on the chin, which appears
to have been caused by falling against
the edge Of a plank in the ditch at the point
where the body was found. The police
believe the young mans death was acoi-
dental. although to fall into the excavation
he must have gone under or over barrier
and walked along the edge Of the hole on
slippery bank three feet wide. Another
theory is that he mi ght have been thrown
or fallen from the high trestle Of the rail-
road against a sloping bank and rebounded
into the ditch
Young Vaudeville had been missed from
his parents home since early Sunday eve

villes presence in this locality, which is

Polacks. He had little money and no

Several OF them were identified as having
been seen looking down in the excavation
with lamp early yesterday morning.
The police hope 10 drag some information
from these foreigners, all Of whom live
near the bridge. They cannot understand
Mande1iles presence in this locality,
which is occupied almost entirely by Italians
and Polacks.
The last the police have learned Of Mande
vile being seen and recognized indicates
that he was in East Newark at o'clock
Sunday afternoon calling on friends. He
was perfectly sober at the time. He might
have walked through Harrison and across
the Passaic on the Jackson street bridge,
but this would be An improbable route TO
take. He lived in the opposite end Of the
city in the Woodside district. His father,
Samuel D. c. Vaudeville, is a prosperous
stairbuilder.

of five cents an hour, and the New YORK
unions are not willing 20 take any step
which will conflict with this agreement.

the New York unions Of a resolution passed
at the last convention by which any con-
tractor can install hreproohng material

New York Is the only city which has

The EARN Heln auestton.

At the last meeting of the New York
state grange a resolution in reference
to the employment of unimportant la
Dor on the farms of New York state
was acted upon favorably. The state
agricultural department is also NOV
ing in the matter, and Commissioner
Wieting recently issued a circular to
the oranges of the state from which
the following extract is taken:
sIf you need farm help within the
range of your grange the commissioner
Of agriculture would be pleased to hear
from you to that effect and to receive
limitations from you as to the number
desired. We should also be pleased to
know what, if any, action your grange
will take relative to assisting any i'm
migrants that may be turned in your
direction in getting work and caring
for them or in seeing that they are
suitably cared for until such time as
they can procure work. With the CO.
operation of the oranges of the state
of New York the commissioner Of agri-
culture feels that he may be enabled
under this statute to do much toward
helping to solve the farm labor prob
lem, which is now such handicap to
the agriculturist.

The End of the world.

That the earth will eventually dry up
and all living things win die of thirst
is the theory Of a scientific writer. He
says that In both Africa and Asia, and
indeed in all the great levels of the
world, the water beds are drying up.
Many lakes well known during the his
torical period have entirely disappear
ed, while others are shrinking rapidly.
Explorations in central Asia have
proved that for centuries zone stretch
ing from the east to the southeast Of
this part Of the cars dominion has
been drying up. Deserts are gradually
spreading, and reports show that it is
only in the neighborhood Of mountains,
round whose brows vapors condense
and fall, that irrigation can be carried
on or life itself can be preserved

The summer Boarder.

Taking thirty New Hampshire towns
as the basis of his figuring, ex-Govern-
or Batchelder, lecturer of the national
grange. gives an idea of what the
summer boarder has done for that
state. He has increased In these
thirty towns from $4,000 In 1890 to
1913, 900 in 1904 Last year the summer
boarder spent So, 1872, 900. against
81, 47S,900 in 1890. For his accommo-
dalton there have been established In
the fourteen years 149 summer hotels
and seventytwo boarding houses.
Then, too. the summer visitor has
bought during this period 1913 sum
mer homes at cost OF $1,000, $50 and
laid out S., $50, 900 for Improvements.
These figures are not of the lying sort,
and they are surprising. City folks
must go to the country. and that it
pays to treat them well this exhibit
demonstrates.

The state oranges of Washington
and Oregon, unlike other state
oranges, hold their annual meeting in
the early summer At its recent meet
ing the Washington state grange re-
ported a substantial growth in mem-
bership.
In his annual address State Master
J. O. Wing emphasized the necessity
of organization for farmers and cited
instances where capital has combined,
greatly to the injury Of the farmers,
particularly the harvester trust, which,
he said, sells its product cheaper in
Europe and South America than it
does at home He recommended that
some move be made to protect the for
ests of the state, and many Of his rec
concentrations were crystallized into
resolutions later In the session. Among
these was a resolution recommending
that school text books contain more
matter calculated to interest children
in farm life and advocating state
text book commission for the selection
of text books, asking the representa-
tives In the state legislature to secure
appropriations for farmers institute
work. asking that United States SEN
ators be elected by popular vote, ad-
vocating the election Of overseers of
the highways by the people rather than
by the appointment by county COM
missioner, appealing to the subordi-
nate oranges to do everything in their
power to secure the initiative and ref
erendum. The committee on agriculture
recommended that means be adopt
ed for carrying on cooperative expert
ments between the state college and
the grange and that the college make
free analysis of soils In various parts
of the state, the correspondence relat-
ing thereto to be conducted through
the grange, and that the grange per-
NIT the establishment Of experiment
clubs and that prizes be given for in
dividuaI experiments These sugges-
lions were adopted A resolution com
polling long distance telephone lines to
switch with farmers lines was lost.
G. B. Kegley of Spokane was elected
master; E. j. Gleason, Toledo, over
seer; a. A. Kelley, East Spokane,
lecturer; Miss Edna Bell Campbell,
Lyle, secretary She is the youngest
state secretary in the country, being
only seventeen years of age. The next
session will be held at Spokane In
June of next year.

In Athletic Sports


In Athletic Sports.
To see thirteen inch gun loaded
and fred is sight not to be forgotten.
The projectile is thirteen inches in
diameter, about three feet in length
and weighs LOO pounds. The powder
charge for target practice is $50
pounds The cost for each shot is
about $500. When all is ready on the
range the signal siren sounds, there is
binding fash, a roar like thunder
and a Earring shock Then you hear
the whining screech Of the shell, for
ing a sharp curve The projectile is
visible almost from the time It leaves
the gun You see it rip through the
target and strike the water beyond,
throwing up a column of liquid many
feet high. The shell skips, much like
the fiat stone skipper" of our boy
hood, and again column Of water
shoots up two miles or more farther
out, to be repeated time and again.
The shell In its fight can be watched
without the aid of glasses for eight
miles or more in clear weather
While the life of sailor, from cap
tain down to apprentice, is an almost
continual round of work, some time is
found for athletic sports. such as
boat racing, football and baseball. The
object of this is to give the men rec
reation and at the same time to foster
the spirit of competition. Besides, it
makes the men easier to manage The
ship with strong football or baseball
team or the fastest race boat almost
invariably has happy and easily
managed crew-a crew that win swear
that its officers are the finest men In
the world, and likewise the officers
swear by such crew. Some ships
have training tables for their athletic
teams, the expense usually being de-
frayed by the officers The team or
boat crew, as the case may be, Is
petted by the officers and idolized by
the crew, and for some time before q
hard contest the men are excused from
various duties in order that they may
give more time to training
Every battleship and cruiser has its
race boat, purchased by contributions
from officers and men. The prices paid
for these boats is. as a rule. contingent
upon their winning certain specified
races. The builders are willing to take
chance, knowing that the crew will do
Its best to win For a winning boat the
price is often as much as $1,000, while
for boat that proves less speedy the
builder will accept $500 or less. On the
result of a feet boat race as much as
$4,000 has been known to change
hands, and large sums are also
wagered on baseball and football
games. This is, of course. contrary to
the letter of the regulations; but the
