TRADE AND TRAFFIC.

Smyrna's trade in cotton goods
amounts to $5,OOO,OOO year.
Seal skins to the number of 3,128
were shipped from Alaska last sea-
son.
During the year 1904 Siam exported
more than $12,OOO,OOO worth of rice.
Teakwood is second in value.
Last years output of new ships in
England (steam and saiD was 515,
with tonnage of 1855, ,756, as against
4O3 ships in 1904, with tonnage of l.
049,S60
The foreign trade of Philadelphia
last year reached an aggregate of al
most S14O,O00,O 900, an increase OF about
S4,000,000 in exports and S14,000,000
imports, largely materials for use in
American factories.
The report of the Mexican minister
of finance shows the revenue for the
fiscal year ending June 30 to have been
$92, ,0S3, $50, with disbursements of $79,-
152,795. The revenue for the current

expenditures sS9,S97 $3.50.
Tientsin stands second among the
treaty ports of China in the gross
value of the trade that passes through
the port, and also in the amount of
revenue collected by the customs. In
SO far as American goods are concern
ed, Tientsin even has a rival claim on
Shanghai for first place.
The Chinese boycott of American
flour is operating to the advantage of
sailing vessels on the Pacific coast. IL
results in a smaller demand for flour,
which in large quantities has been
shipped across the Pacific by steam
ships. In consequence larger amount
OF wheat is being shipped by sailing
vessels
The total commerce between the
United States and France amounted in
the fiscal year 1905 to $166, 100000, of
which $76,00O,00O represented exports
to France, and S90,O0O,OOO imports
from that country. The United States
exported to France nearly all the cop

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
a Desperately Serious Case Cured by
Or. Williams Pink Pills.

Brought to the very verge of starva-
tion by the rejection of all nourishment,
her vitality almost destroyed, the re-
covery of Mrs. j. A. Wyatt, of No. 1889
Seventh street, Dos Moines, Iowa,
seemed hopeless. Her physicians utterly
failed to reach the seat of the difficulty
and death must have resulted if she had
not pursued an independent course sug-
gested by her sisters experience.
Mrs. Wyatt says: ~ had pain in the
region of the heart, palpitation and
shortness of breath SO that 1 could not
walk very fast. My head ached very
badly and was seized with vomiting
spells whenever took any food. A doc
tor was called who pronounced the
trouble gastritis, but he gave me no re-
lief. Then tried second doctor with
out benefit. BY this time had become
very weak. could not keep the most
delicate broth OIL my stomach, and at
the end of a month was scarcely more
than skin and bone and was really starv-
ing to death.
"Then Irecalled how much benefit my
sister had got from DIR. Williams Pink
Pills and decided to take them in place
of the Doctors medicine. 1t proved a
wise decision for they helped me as
nothing else had done. Soon I could
take weak tea and crackers and steadily
more nourishment. In two weeks I was
able to leave my bed. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills were the only thing that
checked the vomiting and as soon as that
was stopped my other difficulties left me.
I have a vigorous appetite now and am
able to attend to all the duties of my
home praise DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People to all my friends because
I am thoroughly convinced of their
merit"

CLAIMED BY ERYANITES.
Credit of the Railroad Rate Issue Is
Taken by Democrats in
Congress.

From the viewpoint of the political
maneuvering, one may applaud the
claim of the Democrats in congress,
and the use they are making of 1t,
that the railroad rate issue is of Demo-
cratic parentage, says the Washing
ton Star 1t may not bear the closest
examination, for the populists were
busy in that field years ago. But it
is true that within the past few years
the Bryan wing of the Democracy, tak-
ing its cue from its leader, has had
good deal to say on the subject, AMI
as the populists have all but entirely
disappeared, their imprint is fain.
And, anyhow, Mr.. Bryan has always
been half populist, and may fairly
maintain the right to dabble in pop
ulist doctrine.
1t is to be questioned, however, il
those Republicans are wise who are
using Mr.. Bryan as a bugaboo in the
premises; who are insisting upon
particular line of conduct by assert
ing that if that line is not taken
smash is just ahead for their party,
and Mr.. Bryan Will be the next presi.
dent of the United States. To sound
that note is virtually to concede al!
that is claimed for Mr.. Bryan by the
most active of his supporters and as,
sist them in their campaign for his
denomination. For if only this rate
bill stands between Mr.. Bryan and
the White House, he is reasonably GER
tain to occupy the comfortable man.
sion.
This is true, for the reason that no
matter what bill may be passed by
congress, the railroads will challenge
it in the courts, with the most for
midable array of legal talent ever EN-.
played in this country. If the bill
holds, then the Bryanites will quote
Republicans as conceding that it was
Bryan pressure that passed it. Ii
it fails, and other legislation is neces-
sary, then the Bryanites will claim
that they are the proper ones to give
the people the remedy required.
1t is the duty of the Republicans to
give the country a sound and sincer3
statute on this subject. While not the
only issue before the country, it is
perhaps the most important of all IL
this time, and certainly the one most
talked about. To trifle with it, there
fore, would be to ALLEVIATE public con-
fidence. If a coach-and-six can be
driven through the law, the team is AL
ready to go through, and if it does go
through good-by to the men who shall
have arranged the opening

A NECESSARY EVIL.
Experience of a Minister Who Tried
to Think That of Coffee.

"a descendant of the Danes, ma
tisn of coffee drinkers, l used coffee
freely till | was 20 years DID, writes
a clergyman from Iowa. AT that time
l was 4 student at Biblical Institute,
and suddenly became aware of the fact
that my nerves had become demoral-

that insomnia was fastening its hold
upon me.

things came from the coffee | was
drinking, but at last was forced to that
conclusion, and quit it.

TARIFF AND THE SOUTH.
Industrial Prosperity Chiefly Re
sponsible for Protection
Sentiment.

While some New Englanders are de-
manding tariff revision, an increasing
number of enterprising and progressive
men in the south are favoring adherence
to the policy of a protective tariff. The
change in southern sentiment in this
particular is very noticeable and highly
significant, says the Denver Republican.
President Roosevelts personal popu-
larity in the south is no doubt working
wonders among the people of that sec
ton in respect to their attitude toward
political issues and parties. The fact
that the Republican party advocates
protection and the further fact that its
most conspicuous representative at the
present time is President Roosevelt
makes many southern men feel more
kindly toward the organization. They
may not be prepared to announce them
selves as Republicans, but they certain
ly no longer look upon a southern Re-
publican as traitor to his section of the
country.
Industrial development in the south
is, however, chiefly responsible for the
growing sentiment in favor of protec-
ton. Cotton manufacturing and the
production of iron and steel have in
creased enormously, and thus a manu-
featuring class composed of both capi-
talists and laborers has developed in
that section. 1t is but natural if these
people are as much in favor of protec-
ton as their competitors in other parts
of the country.

Report has spread abroad that the
United States dollar-presses at the
mints stopped after printing copies,
and that these pieces of money made
their escape, and are now somewhere
in the great ocean of circulation. The
attorney-general says that any man
who is proved to have passed United
State dollar bearing date of 1905 will
be punished for passing counterfeit
money, for the director of the mint
says not a single silver dollar was
coined in 1905.

dead body of a guide named Nagi, a
native of Aosta, Italy, who fell into
crevasse in 1877, near the summit of

Milanese Alpinists when he suddenly
disappeared, and the cord which
bound him to the others was cut by
sharp piece of ice.

Paciication of Germany.

There will be no tariff war" be-
tween the United States and Germany.
This appears to be practically GER
tain as a result of conferences at
Washington between Secretary of
State Root, Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw and Ba~on Speck Won Stern
berg. the German ambassador 1t
was made clear at these consultations
that neither country desired to enter
into a profitless contest over the ques-
ton OF tariff rates. and that both par
ties were in n conciliatory spirit. At
the same time. the United States stood
firm on the principle involved-that
it could not grant Germany any ia
yors under tariff rulings that would
not be given to other countries. Ger
tain provisions Of the law may be in
terpretel literally. but all must share
alike in that Interpretation. There
seems 10 be no doubt that Germany

enforce its new tariff in a way to dis
criminate injuriously against Ameri-
can imports.-Troy Times.

The Ladies' Hermitage Association.


In closing this letter I wish to compliment
the Ladies'. Hermitage Association. which
now owns and cares for the home and tomb
Of President Jackson. The old farm was
long since cut up into small holdings. Five
hundred acres of ii were sold by Andrew
Jackson, jr.. about eleven years after Jack
sons death to the state of Tennessee for
the sum of $4,000, and that state had in
tended offering this tract to the United
States government for a branch of the
West Point Academy. Then the civil war
came on. and for years nothing was done.
In 1889 the Ladies' Hermitage Association
was organized. and at that time the legis-
lature of Tennessee gave the house, the
tomb and all the outhouses, with twenty
five acres surrounding them, TO II. This
association has collected a great part of the
furniture and relics of Andrew Jackson,
and 1t is gathering more of them from time
to time, as its money permits. 1t keeps the
various establishments in the same order in
which they were when Jackson died, hav-
ing caretakers there, who are glad to show
the buildings to such visitors as may come.

Uses Of Sawdust.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sum-
Many are the uses Of sawGust In the
days when the sawdust wagon made its
numbering rounds through the streets of
most large cities two commercial uses of
sawdust were to sprinkle floors and to
shelter lead pipes from cold and glass
bottles from breakage.
Near every sawmill was vat for the
sawdust, and it was carted away free by
any one who had any for it. In this
era of the use of by-products sawdust has
a commercial value. 1t is no longer given
away, but is sold.
One of the recent uses of sawdust is its
distillation, resulting in acetic acid, wood
naphtha, wood alcohol and tar. Sawdust
may also be burned in special furnaces or
mixed with other material for fuel.
Sawdust when saturated with chemicals
can be effectively used in the manufacture
of explosives, but it is more particularly
in demand in paper making than for any
other purpose. Such a thing as savdust
on the floor of room a substitute for
a rug or carpet is now practically unknown
Sawdust has Joined sand in this respect
Cotton felt has been substituted for saw.
dust as non-conductor of cold in winter
Gas can be made from sawdust. 1t is also
used for briQuettes, l. e., blocks of COM
pressed sawdust and wood chips burned
for fuel. Even in the protection of glass
ware against breakage sawdust has been
superseded by excelsior, sawdust being re-
garded as too valuable for such USE

Kiss Causes Suicide.
From the London Mail.

Courtship in Spain is regulated by the
strictest etiquette. As. is well. known a
young man is never left alone with his
iancee. Near Malaga a beautiful young
girl of twenty has just committed suicide
by drinking a cup of coffee in which phos-
phorus had been dissolved.
1t appears that the girl had been driven
to the deed by the adverse comments of
neighbors who became aware that she had
given her sweetheart kiss.
