IRON AND STEEL EXPORTS.

TIE foreign trade of the Unitei!
States in iron and steel products is
increasing at a tremendous rate. In
three years it has increased 80 per
cent, and for the calendar year 1906 it
reached the wonderful total of $172,
100000. Practically every country of
the world took a share of these pro-
ducts of our mines and mills, 40 pc"
cert going to North American cOun-
tries, q per cent to Europe, II per
cert to South America and so on. The
United Kingdom takes half of all that
goes to Europe.
These American products run the
entire gamut from plain pig iron to
locomotives and typewriters. The out
go of structural iron and steel alone is
sufficient to explain why it is often SO
difficult for our builders at home to
get the supplies they need. Even tin
plate. the youngest of our iron pro-
Ducts. is now being exported to such
an extent that the total has passed
The million dollar mark Some of these
increases are due, it is true, to ad-
vanced prices. but there is very
handsome increase in actual tonnage

ATTEMPT BRIBt SENATOR.
Indiana Member Told Lobbyist He
Could Not Be Influenced.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March o.
Friends of State Senator John W..
Parks of Kosciusko and Marshall coun-
ties are discussing a scene which took
place in the senator's private room
when he was called up by lobbyist
and asked to support a certain mea-
sure before the legislature. The SEN
ator refused and the lobbyist asked
if there was any inducement that
could be offered to make him change
his mind.
You might as we'll have something
out OF this thing" said the lobbyist.
There is a bunch around you over
there getting theirs, and you ought
to fare as well as they"
The senator grew indignant over
this plain attempt to influence him
and made his feelings so plain that
the lobbyist left the room at once. The
senator refused today to confirm the
story, though he would not deny it.

Its different than the part of the
Sandman which i played last season
in 'Piff, Paff, Pouf," Mr.. Mace said
recently in discussing the role, ''That
was about the worst 1 ever 1 ever went
up against. Not that the part was a
difficult one, it wasn't that, for there
was plenty of comedy in it, but the
sand was enough to drive one distract

Those who have witnessed perform

agree readily that, after all it takes
considerable sand to portray the part
of that much abused unfortunate man.

SAD SEQUEL TO LOVE MATCH.

LONDON, Mch. 9.-John Ford, a
young diplomat who married Miss May
Caendish Bentinck last year, is in d
grave condition of health. He had a
severe attack of influenza while he AMI
his bride were on their honeymoon.
From this malady he has fallen into
a state of debility. and his friends fear
consumption. His young. wife is in a
state of deep anxiety, and is unremit-
ting in her devoted care of him.
Theirs was a love match and they
won in spite of the most strenuous
opposition to their union by the
brides mother, Mrs. George Cavendish

Ford had practically nothing but his
slender pay as attache at the British
embassy in Copenhagen. But ne was

THE CASE OF GROVER
CLEVELAND.
THE

The case of Grover Cleveland puts
some point to the languishing ques-
ton, What to do with our ex-presl-
dents" He is the only one we have,
and consequently the whole problem
hanks back to him at the present mo-
White House it was supposed that he
was comfortably well off. The country
did not trouble itself about him. But
Mr.. Cleveland, it appears, has been
troubled about himself. He has felt
that he was not earning enough to
leave his family in the circumstances
he would like them to be in should he
be removed. This is the anxiety of
every father, and yet sometimes it
may be overstrained. If we are to be-
lieve the biography of nearly every
man who has done anything for the
race. or even for himself, it appears
that the deciding factor in his career
was the passing of poverty. Yet every
body wants to leave his children rich,
TO remove from lHe1H TIE
to great eXertion and to smooth the
path of life so that they will merely
glide.
Mr.. Cleveland has acceped some sort
of job as an insurance adjuster of
high degree. He is to have $4,000
year, a handsome salary, and there is
no man the country would be better
pleased to see in the enjoyment of
handsome salary, says the Minneapolis
Journal. But there is one thing it
would rather not see, and that is Mr..
Cleveland forced by his necessities, or
supposed necessities, into any en-
ployment which will tend to lower the
dignity of his position. Both Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr.. Cleveland are moral
exemplars to the rising men of the re-
public and if either of them fails, the
whole country is the loser.
The whole country was very much
chagrined by the way General Grant,
in his age, was deceived and made
catspaw by designing knaves in Wall
street. The public would much rather
take care of it's former presidents di-
rectly than to have to go through an
other such dismal experience.

WHEN is A CHECK NOT A CHECK?
When It's Drawn on an English Bank
for a Foreign Gambling Debt.

LONDON, March AN interesting
case was settled in the court of ap-
peals yesterday. In the original pro-
ceedings the manager of the Cercle
Algerian a private club at Algiers,
sued a certain Owen for II 900 francs
about $4,000. The manager had ad-
vanced this amount partly in cash
and partly in counters to enable Owen
to pay his losses and to continue play
ing the game, which was baccarat.
Owen gave in exchange a check
drawn III English on a London bank.
The check was afterward dishonOred
owen pleaded a statute of Queen
Anne, which made checks drawn for
gaming purposes utterly void, and all
so a statute of 1885, which made void
checks drawn and given for an illegal
consideration.
The judge gave verdict in favor
of the manager, holding that the stat
utes quoted struck at gaming in this
country alone and as baccarat is legal
at Algiers the plaintiff could recover
on a check in this country. On appeal,
this judgment was reversed, two out
of the three lords of appeal declar-
ing against the managers claim.
They held that the law applied was
the law of the place where the bill
was payable. Therefore. as the check
was payable in England it was entirely
England's trasactiO and the statute
Of Queen Anne applied. The third
lord, differed, suggesting as parallel
that as tobacco growing in England
was illegal a check knowingly given
for the purpose of tobacco grown in
England would be invalid, but an Eng
lish check given for tobacco grown rr
France would not be illegal.

TRAMPS' BOARD TOO CHEAP.
Sheriff Petitions Court for Increase Of
Allowance.

CARLISLE, Pa, Mch. 9.-Sheriff JO-
seph E. Elinstein, of this county, has
presented through Attorney Willis a
petition to the court asking for more
money for the boarding Of tramps in
the county Jail.
In November, 1885, the petition sets
forth. the court fixed the price for
boarding trampS at nine cents a day,
but under the present high prices it
is asserted that the sheriff cannot
board them at the old figure without
loss to himself. and the court is
asked to raise the price to Is cents or
more for tramps and all others at 25
cents. The latter sum is now paid for
regular prisoners. Mr.. Willis said that
notice was given the county commits
sioners of the intention to present the
petition.
The court granted a rule. An ans
wer will be put in and then argument
will be heard.

"a POOR RELATION"

After all, the play that glOrifies the
generous heart captivates humanity.
This is why Sol Smith Russell's "a
Poor Relation" was that comedians
most successful vehicle. 1t will be
presented to local theatergoers tomOr-
row night at the Keylor Grand theater.
The character of Noah Vale appeals
eloquently to the sympathy of every
man who has ever gone hungry for lack
of the price of something to eat and
some of the most successful men in
every community have known that eX-
tor, whose designs that meant wealth to
him have been stolen by a dastardly
schemer, furnishes the picturesque fig
ure and inspiration of the play. His
devotion to a waif of a boy, whose
clothes he mends, and whose mouth he
fills, is the touching and characteristic
feature of the play. The climax is
reached when he lifts up the lad and
stands him on his feet inside a barrel,
while he removes the youngsters trou-
sers for the purpose of mending them
The author of the play has not omit
ted the romantic element either for he
has provided sweetheart for Noah,
who upon coming into his property
rights promptly proposes to share his
name and wealth with the girl who
loved him when he was poor.
The coming production comes highly
recommended. Players of ripe expert
ence will present this character drama
at the and a highly enjoyable time

A GOOD WORD FOR
The MILITARY INSTITUTE

The Santa Fe New Mexican speaks
a good word for the Military Institute
as follows:
The commencement exercises at the
New Mexico Military Institute at Ros
well this week. emphasize the fact
that this Terriatorial institution is the
most successful of New Mexico's
higher institutions of learning. 1t is
not to disparage other schools, when
it is trut:1fully said, that the Military
Institute has succeeded where some
of the others have thus far failed, in
becoming Territorial in the true sense
of the word, instead of remaining To-
cal, mere appendage of the public
schools of the community in which it
is located. However, the Military In
stitute has done and is doing more
than that 1t takes the boys from ev-
cry part of the Territory and moulds
them into men who are strong, that
is, strong physically, mentally, NOR
ally, who are sound in body and mind.
just such young men as New Mexico
needs to do its work in the field, in
the mines, in the factories, in the
stores, in offices nigh and low. 1t i'm
bues them with stucdy patriotism
that is a motive power which produces
achievement And what higher aim
can any institution Vi ieal hlLS nav
for its pupils, be it a public school or
a high grade university? That at the
Military Institute book learning is
blended with the practical, physical
dev0opment with mental growth,
makes it an ideal college for boys,
preparing them for all works of life,
including entrance to the big univer-
stiles of the land there to prepare for
a professional career. But few tho't-
full fathers and mothers will deny that
this is just the school for their boy
or boys and the only regret is that the
institute does not nave accommoda-
ton enough for all the boys that seek
its training
