 VI respecting the places where their com- modities can be sold and also furnish inE detailed information as to the best manner of meeting the requirements of different markets. This is a movement too, which works both ways, for the or ganization Is in communication with mer- chants and manufacturers in the coun- tries of the south of us, and is in position to advise them about the kind of goods that can be obtained in the south which they need and also what the facilities are of various southern ports for shipments.
 There is a concrete bit of evidence which shows what the effect of this or- ganization work already is. The agency has already learned that about 12,00t Americans are now busily occupied in learning the Spanish language, learning to speak it as well as to read 1t. good many manufacturers of the south are already establishing agencies in South America. It Is expected that there will speedily develop on account of the con- pletion of the Panama canal great amount of traffic offered at all points of the Mississippi valley and in the middle west which will be moved to the southern seaports and thence ship to Central and South American countries. President Har- rison now has the qualification of know ing that the Southern railroad has per fected as large an organization as Is tc be found in the United States which is exclusively occupied with stimulating eX- port business.

 A MilliOnaire's Estate
 No one among his associates at the bal and probably none of his intimate friends would have estimated the estate of thu late Judge William B. Hornblower a much more than $200O00 or $30O,0 GO at thu most Yet the official appraisal of thu estate, which has just been completed shows valuation little in excess O. $1, ,OO0, 900. ts4fsfstH
 Judge Hornblower has been in practice ar the bar for about 40 years. He Wa! careful about his association and woult accept no retainers which involved tn, showing of interruptions persons a wa! by which they could accomplish their pur pose by getting around the law.

When President Cleveland nomi mated him as associate justice of the su preme court at Washington, some o Judge Hornblower's friends thought tha l,.@ of to 1a fn l 1t was presumed that he had still to de vote many years to professional work i | he were to secure a competency for hi | family.
 The details of the appraisal show that h was wise in his investments for the mos part, only one of them having turned ou badly. He bought real estate in New Yorl | with good judgment and he made variou dispositions of his Income and principal s | that his estate is fairly well divided be l tween real and personal property. l.. did not, as did one of his warm friends i convert all of his income and principal int government bonds, explaining that pc cuiar action by saying that the invest | ment did not cause him to worry and tha the income from 1t was sufficient for hi modest needs. There are not many law yers at the New York bar in proportion l to the number of practicing lawyers wh have accumulated an estate approximat l ing $l 900, 900 in 40 years practice. Judg Hornblower was, when he became a mem Der of the court of appeals bench las summer. about the age when the grea English jurists go from the bar to tn l perch.
