The statement Is made by the bu-
reau Of statistics Of the department OF
commerce and labor that the current
fiscal years export Of canned beef

900 pounds for the corresponding
months Of the preceding fiscal year.
The greatest falling off has been with
Great Britain.

-Asheville, N c., special Of May
Is to Raleigh Evening Times: In or
der to encourage and revive the al
most lost art of hand-weaving among
the mountain women Of the Blue
Ridge mountains, Mrs. George w.
Vanderbilt has taken to weaving
homespun. Mrs. Vanderbilt appeared
in Asheville a few days ago in yell
low homespun gown. 1t started fad
for homespuns among the women of
the town and has resulted in just what
Mrs. Vanderbilt has wished it to re-
suit in-good business for the women
of the mountains. Mrs. Vanderbilt's
gown cost her $25. Yesterday she
placed it on exhibition at Biltmore
among the Biltmore estate exhibits
to go to the jamestown exposition.
Mrs. Vanderbilt has placed orders for
a number Of other gowns for herself.
THE church people north seem to
be getting up the right sort OF senti-
ment as to the re-marriage OF d.
vorcees. 1t had been known for quite
a while that William E. Corey, the
president of the steel trust, was con-
templating the divorcing of his wife
and marrying Mabelle Gilman, a beau
tiful actress, and there was much in
dignation over the affair. 1t was even
intimated that If Corey persisted in
his intention he would be compelled
u IhO ColhShSy Va SAS
steel trust. But that did not happen.
A large portion of the Christian min
istry however, took the position that
no member Of it should perform the
marriage ceremony. Corey and his
bride be desired a Christian cere-
mony and were determined about the
matter. They finally secured the SER
vices of Rev. DR.. John Lewis Clarke, a
Congregationalist, who performed the
ceremony. But the doctors congre-
and there has since been much agi-
tation looking to the compelling Of
his resignation. DR.. Clarke. however,
wrote a letter to his deacons confess
ing his error and repentance and Of
fering to send back the fee that Corey
gave him, and the deacons after due
consideration decided to let the matter
drop.
OF the three officials of the West
ern Federation Of Miners now on trial
at Boise, Ida, for their lives on the
charge Of having conspired to cause
the murder Of Ex-Governor Frank
Steunenburg Of Idaho, w. D. Hay
wood, secretary and treasurer Of the
miners organization, makes the best
impression on first acquaintance, says
Oscar King Davis, the Boise CORES
pondent Of the New York Times. He
is big, sturdy fellow, with square
head and solid jaw. He has lost the
sight Of his right eye and has devel-
oped q curious trick Of turning his
face away as II to conceal his misfor-
tune and rolling his left eye around to
keep track Of what is going on. 1t
gives him a queer, unnaturally fur
tive expression, not at all in keeping
with his straightforward manner when
personally addressed. Haywood is
socialist and an idealist. He is fond
Of reading and devotes much of his
time to it, making it both recreation
and study. His friends say that al
though he is deeply concerned in max
ing the most vigorous fight possible
to escape conviction, he has not lost
sight Of the fact that the death pen
atty would make him a martyr of Or
ganized labor. But Charles H. Moy-
er, president of the federation, and
George A. Pettibone find no such COM
pensation in their situation. They are
both more practical men, desperately
intent on making a winning defense.
Meyer was the brains of the Western
Federation of Miners and its chief or
ganizer. He is of the labor leader
type and always extremely popular
with the regular labor union man. He
makes a fiery speech and carries his
audience with him. He has the rep
utation of being the best man on his
feet in the ranks of organized labor
today Pettibone in appearance fits
the description reported to have been
given of him by Harry Orchard. He
is a slight man, below the average
height, with a weak chin and the
oood patured grin that goes with it.
