WORLDS MARKETS.
o. P. Austin of Treasury Department
Lectures at Carroll Institute.

O. P Austin, chief of the bureau of sta
tistics, delivered an Illustrated lecture al
Carroll Institute last night on the control
of world markets. He pointed out that,
while European countries supply about 60
per cent of the clothing and household ar
ticles of oriental countries, especially among
the smaller states, America supplied only
about l per cent. This, he sajd Is due to
the attempt of the American manufacturers
to induce the oriental to take what we
manufacture instead of manufacturing what
the oriental wants. He said, by way of
illustration, that If a particular grade and
design of cloth became popular i. in the
Malay states samples were at once sent
home by the representatives of English
shipping houses, and in little while the
eastern market was literally supplied.
Americans, on the other hand, attempted
to convince the buyers that what they
wanted was the latest New York styles,
and therein we failed and Europe captured
the market.

WAS INSTANTLY KILLED.
Accident Results in Death of Law
renee Williams.

An accident occurred last night at the
Lenox Apartment House, 1923 L street
northwest, which resulted in the death of
Lawrence B. Williams colored, thrty-eight
years of age who was employed in the
building as assistant janitor. Williams
fell through the elevator shaft from the
fourth floor to the basement and was killed
Instantly. Coroner hewitt made an investi-
cation and gave a certificate Of accidental
death, deeming inquest unnecessary
Williams lived at S17 Dist street northwest,
and his body was conveyed there after the
coroner had concluded his inquiry. The
assistant janitor was in charge of the ele-
vator last night and about o'clock he
took the car to the fourth floor in response
to call from Mrs F. P. Lord who wanted
him to remove some waste to the base
ment.
Mrs. Lord was standing on the landing
when the elevator reached there, and she
waited to tell Williams what she wanted.
When the passenger compartment reached
the fourth floor, it is said. the colored man
alighted, permitting the elevator to ascend
far enough to get the freight compartment
flush with the landing. The elevator went
little above the landing, and Williams
reached into the shaft to manipulate the
rope. 1t became necessary for him to take
hold of the rope a second time, and this
time he lost his balance, but he retained
his hold upon the rope until he had been
carried few feet above the landing. Then
he let go and dropped to the bottom of the
shaft.
Physicians were summoned and an exam
inaton was made of the body, but life was
extinct The Emergency Hospital Ambu-
lance was summoned but the surgeon in
charge saw at glance that there was moth
ing he could do Coroner hewitt was then
notified, with the result stated Williams
funeral will probably take place Monday.

Don't keep your horse in an over
heated stable, then stand him for hours
In freezing atmosphere and wonder
how he became paralyzed.
Never expect the foal to eat with the
mare, but always provide small box
in the opposite corner to feed the foal
in.
Accustom the colt to being handled
by having a halter on and occasionally
taking hold of it when feeding the
mare.

get much good out of 1t in that condi-

1t Is even more important to feed the
brood mares literally and with the
best quality of hay and oats during
the period of CESSATION than it is to
feed the foal literally during the first

Horse Breeder. 1t is also very impor-

Despite its innocent looks and small

never get away. because the leaves
have Il sticky substance upon them
which retains the insect. As every in

When Bunny
Mas Bumped

By LESLIE TRAIN.

Bunny Travers was not a bad fellow.
On the contrary, everybody liked him,
and everybody said it was too bad that
he had money and had spent six
months in London TO learn the ways of
all ass. One day when the subject of
the up to date girl was on the carpet
Bunny listened for awhile with Il bored
air and then observed:
It's all theory. She cawn't be found,
We knaw. They are the same old Ian
gushing lot, just Il lot of gurls, with
their giggle and twaddle and waiting
for proposal. AS may have remark
ed before, they bore me-bore me
dweadfully. Weally. l think l shall
have to cut the whole lot of them"
Among those who regarded Bunny as
an asinine good fellow was Burt Gal
bralth, the young partner in down
town brokerage firm. He had Il wife
and home on the north shore of Long
Island, and his sister Nettie lived with
them. AS he listened to Buuny's Obser-
Vations a smile lowered around his
mouth. and that night when he got
home he said to the sister:
Say, Net, we've got feller In the
Clipper club that needs humping, and
he needs it bad. l am going to invite
him down to stay for week"

so that you can bump him. He
doesn't believe there's an up to date

Bunny baked little when invited
down to the island home. He was at
last prevailed upon, however, and one
Monday afternoon he was safely land
ed at RavensreSt. Half an hour later
Miss Nettie was dressed for Il spin in

DRAFT HORSE ESSENTIALS.
Some Points to Be Considered In
Breeding Them.


Breeding Them.
The action Of a draft horse is u point
which is receiving more attention than
1t formerly did A horse to command
the very highest price must move well.
He must be good at the walk and also
do the trOtting act fairly well. Length
Of stride and straightness of stride are
the two most important points to be
considered at the walk. Snappiness
is also essential. Height of action and
tiaShiness are attractive, but not nee
esSarily utility points. WinSing, pad
ding or rolling action in front and
wabbling hooks are all features which
every good hOrseman condemns, thus

any speed in it, If you can assure me
of twenty miles an hour shall be posi-
lively Chawmed."
He was quietly assured, and after the
machine got well started he found the
assurance we'll founded. Bunny began
TO get nervous after the speed exceeded
fifteen miles an hour, but he managed
to restrain himself until it had reached
twenty Then his hat blew off, his
hair stood up, and there was a culver
to his voice as he turned to the girl
and said:
"Oh now, / thought we came out
to see the landscape, doncher knaw."
Farmers began to yell, dogs to bark
and drivers of teams to draw out to
the fences as the speed was raised to
thirty miles an hour, and Bunny Ira
vers confessed to himself that for the
first time in two years he wasn't bored.
The pace went to thirty-fve and then
to forty, and he finally Judged that 1t
had gone to a hundred and the auto
was flying above the trees. Then 1t
and the girl steered the machine up one
street and down another and finally
halted before the office of Il justice of
the peace A benign looking old gen
tleman came out, and the girl handed
him So.
Nov, then, what's all thls?' asked
Bunny as Miss Nettie was turning the
machine about.
"Oh whenever | exceed the speed
limit stop and pay fine. They don't
have to arrest me and have witnesses
and a trial Saves time and carries
out the letter of the law you know.
Little invention Of my own, and ] am
thinking of taking out a patent. I'll
try for a mile a minute going back"
Bunny groaned. TO his utter amaze
ment, he was not in the least bored.
On the contrary he was anxious to
suggest that Miss Nettie accept a check
for 81 900 for the benefit of charity and
allow him to walk home. Before he
could state the case. however, the
machine was under way. When they
reached home the girl found bundle
of clothes in the seat beside her. After
awhile Bunny Travers emerged from
the bundle and said that he was a
changed man.
An hour after breakfast next morn
ing when Bunny had finished his cigar
his entertainer asked him If he wouldn't
like to have bout with the foils. He
smiled incredulOusly, but she asked
him to follow her to the billiard room
and there produced a pair Of foils.
Here was his opportunity to get even
with her for the scare of the day be-
fore. He would disarm her three or
four times and wound her vanity. 1t
was Bunny. however, who was pinked
and dlsarmed and driven all around
the room and made to look like 30
cents. The afternoon was rainy, and
Miss Nettie proposed billiards and pool.
Bunny began by giving her twenty on
billiards and four balls on pool and In
the course, of three hours found that
she could give him all that and then
