Burning the Wabash
the Manchester Union

The old United States frigate Wabas sh
will be burned at Eastport, Me-, the night
before the Fouth of July. The destruc-
ton of the frgate which was once a
flagship, when shot and shell were pour
ing upon it from two forts at once, will
be special feature of a Fourth of July
celebration, at which the assistant sec
retary of the navy will be present 1t is
perahps the best possible disposition of
the vessel. 1t is better than going to de-
struction on Roncador reef, as did the
Kearsarge. Nevertheless there are still
living many men to whom the burning
by reason of the memories of personal ex-
perience. 1t was a sight never to be for
gotten by those who witnessed it, that
November morning in 1861, when the then
seemingly stately Wabash, with Commo-
dore. afterwards Admiral Dupont aboard
led in the attack upon Port Royal, and
received the hostile fire first from one
fort and then from the other, as it led
the column of warships in the celebrated
ellpse which enabled the fleet to pour
broadside after broadside upon the forts
in turn. 1t was spectacle never to be
forgotten by the survivors of the Third
and Fourth New Hampshire regiments
who witnessed it, in common with the
equally fresh volunteers from other states
The Wabash then was one of the state
lest and proudest ships of the United
States navy, but it was long since OUT
classed. 1t has nothing in common with
the battleships of today. Its story has
long since been told, and it will be burned.
Henceforth its place will be In written
history.

GREATEST YEAR OF
BRITISH COMMERCE

London. July 5.-(speelai.) )-When the
foreign trade returns of the United King
dom for 1911 were completed, the doubt
was expressed whether they could possi-
bly, be exceeded in the following year
Notwithstanding 1872 had the advantage
of four additional working DAYS over lsu
ard that prices were almost uniformly
higher. the gain in imports and re-ex-
ports was considerably in excess of that
to ne expected from these conditions,
and in exports there was also salts
factory increase.
Never before In the history Of British
commerce had such a volume of business
been transacted. The figures given in this
report are the official figures furnished
from month to month by the Board OF
Trade Slight notifications may be made
in the totals in the year; but as in previ-
Gus years, the corrections. II any will in
all likelihood be SO insignificant as not to
affect In any degree the value of deduo-
tions drawn from the present survey.
In each month of 1912. with the excep-
ticn of June. there was a gain in the
value off the imports and with the ex-
ception of March, April and June, a gain
also In the value of the exports. In the
months mentioned the decline in the value
of both imports and exports was due to
the coal and dock strikes.

through an agent. However, experience
has shown that this is in most instances
a very unsatisfactory method OF dealing
with the problem, for the reason that,
however good the salesman may be, he
cannot know the peculiar conditions of
the trade as WELL even after an extend
ed visit, or secure as large a share of
the business as the men who have been
demonstrating this, came to the knowl-
edge of the writer recently. A certain
well known American flour milling COM
pany sent it's best man to Cuba to sell di-
rect to the trade After six weeks hard
work he succeeded in selling one carload
of flour. Later the same man returned
with authority to appoint a local agent,
and a contract was made with a well
known American commission house with
headquarters In Havana. The represent
ative, together with one of the members
of the commission firm, then carefully
canvasSed the trade, the fo"''H~~ nsing the
technical arguments for his goods and
the latter supplying the direct selling
force, with the result that at the end OF
four weeks work more than 40 carloads
of flour were sold. OF course, a broker
age commission had to be paid, but the
greatly increased business and the COM
paratively lower cost of obtaining it
more than repaid the milling company
for the small amount of brokerage. No
pettef argument as TO the value OF the
agency system, as applied to Cuban con-
ditions, can be given than this, for it is
almost an everyday occurrence"
Mr.. Starrett particularly urges the i'm
portance of newspaper and other adyer-
tising for the introduction of a new line
of goods into Cuba. In fact advertising
is regarded as absolutely essential in
gaining foothold for a new commodity,
and it should be clever advertising, too,
he says.
'All this preliminary work of course,
is expensive continues Mr.. Starrett
and at first sight the possible mark ct
would not seem sufficient to warrant
such active measures. But when it is

Famous Paris Cafes Gone

Paris, July 5.-(Special) )-The Cafe

Partisan restaurants, each with its pecu-

10 years.

they wear are imported from abroad, 1t
Is apparent that the market Is worth the
most careful scrutiny.
"One point that should not he over
looked is that all trademarks pertaining
to those manufactured and prepared
goods which are to be exported to Cuba
should be registered with the Cuban de-
partment of agriculture, commerce and
labor at Havana, before active bids for
the trade are made Many an American
manufacturer who has neglected to do
this has been surprised to find that his
| trademark had been appropriated and
registered by some person in Cuba, with
| the result that he has either mad to buy
| back his trademark right or keep his
goods out of the Cuban market"

Matron BObbing Up

In spite of the furious-and fairly sue
cessful-attempt to relegate the matron
to the background and bring forward the
girls, the matron is bobbng up again
with vengeance-and not only the young
matron. With the dancing proclivities
of Queen Mary, it is not at all uncommon
to find that while the girls are left out
in the cold the mothers slide through ev-
cry dance. Mrs John Astor and the
Duchess of Marlborough have asked very
few girls to their dances, this season but
even these few, it was noticed, were left
very much in the cold while their chaper-
ones disported themselves.

$4,000 Sor them. But the govcrness re-

could not take advantage of his tempting
offer, knowing all the time that the beads
had not cost as much as $50.
However. the traders unconcealed COW

that few days later she went to the

to tell them how their sham pearls had

To Visit Germany Again

The Prince of Wales will leave England
some time this month for visit to Ger
many. This second visit in Germany will
be entirely different from the recent SIM
pie tour in the company of Mr. Hansel
of whose companionship and advice the
Prince is now relieved. The present ar
raneements are that the heir to the throne
shall spend six weeks In Germany, and it
is highly significant that during the
greater part of the time he will be the
guest of the Grand Duke and Duchess
of Meckenburg- Strolitz, whose son, the
hereditary Grand Duke, is at present in
England on close terms of cordial intima-
cy with the King and Queen.

thirteen to sit down to the table, and to
obviate the superstition she requisitioned
her girls governess, so that there might
not be an unlucky number In the course
of the dinner the governess noticed the
persistent staring of one of the gentlemen
beside her, and when he saw that she
grew disconfited under the gaze of his
dark appraisng orbs, he excused himself
by saying how much he was admiriing
her wonderful pearls. and how perfectly
matched they We're. 1t may be mentioned
that the gentleman's trade was the hand
