Jumped on a Taylor ear and disap
peared No word was sent to the alreadv
humiliated joiing woman and nttcr
sufficient time had elapsed she returned
o her home In a very dejected mood.
From what could be gleaned from tho
young man's conversation, It was ap
parent that he changed his mind ow
ing to the publicity given the episode In
the newspapers.
Ills action Is severely condemned bv
those familiar with tho unfortunate
circumstances connected with tho ease,
particularly owing to trie fact that he
made overtures to Miss Davis for u
bcttlement of tho case against him
which will be called in criminal court
today.
The sympathy of tho community has
gone out to the young woman, who is
nn orphan and whose sufferings have
broken down her health and spirits
Through tho kirdnebs of entire
fitrangers, she was befriended until
her troubles were over, and now she
will go beforp the court and seek repar
ation for the Injury done.

fit of those who may be skeptical as to the true value
of Wright's Health Underwear, we reproduce a

as emitted through the pores ot the skin and carry it
to the surface of the fabric, where it is evaporated, t
X thereby preventing the

with force, and their signlllcuncc Is en

firmed but emphasized by the census
to be taken next ear.
Mr. Mulhall does not hesitate to say
that the world has never before wit
nessed such a development of the
haidware Industries as the United
States exhibited In the live ears fol

named tho pioductlon of pig iron was
7.100,000 tons; In the jear ending Juno

an Increase of 67 per cent During the
same quinquennial peilod, the produc
tion of steel rote fiom 4,020,000 to 7.160.
000 tons, tho latter llguies representing
an Increase of 78 per cent. If we turn
to textile manufactures, wo find that
the consumption of fibre In the vari
ous mills Increased from 520,000 to 813,
000 tons In tho caFe of cotton, and
from 224,000 to 253,000 tons In the case
of flax and Jute There vvas, on the
other hand, between ISM nnd 1898, a
decline of 14 per cent In the weight of
wool consumed Theie was no ln
cnase, however, In the imports of
woollen manufactures from foreign
countiles, these having fallen 70 per
cent , that Is to say from $37,000,000
In 1S93 to $13,000,000 In 1S98. The truth
seems to be that cotton goods are su
perseding woollen In some parts of
tho union, tho consumption of cotton
having llsen fiom 7 pounds per Inhabi
tant in 1893 to 2" pounds in 1S98, while
that of wool fell fiom 7 to 3 pounds.
EXTERNAL TRADE .
Comparing the external trade of th
Union In 1S9S with that of 1S93, nnd ex
cluding all goods In transit Mr. Mul
hall teaches the surprising fact that,
In the quinquennial period, notwith
standing an increase of 7V millions In
population, there wns a decline of
$237,000,000 In Imports The valuation
of food Imports shrunk from 269 to 171
millions of dollars; that of law ma
terial from 218 to 1S9 millions of dol
lars, and that of manufactures, from
249 to 153 millions of dollais. The
shrinkage of nearly 40 por cent. In the
imports ot manufactuied goods is the
more lem.aikable because the customs
duties In 1898 were much lighter than
In 1891, On an average, the duties In
tho venr lust named were 9 pei cent
higher than they aie now In view ot
this fact an inciense In this blanch ot
imports might have been looked for,
but. the truth Is, as Mr Mulhall recog
nizes that the home manufactures ot
the Fnlted States aie glowing with
maivellous rapidly Consequently, the
American people take less and less
goods ft oiu Euiope eveiy vear Pass
ing to that part of Mi Mulhall's arti
cle which deals with tillage, we note
that the total value of) ngrlculural pro
ducts showed In five jeurs nn Increase
of 634 millions of dollais. As regards
agrlcultuial exports, the weight vvas
more than doubled In live jears and
the value rose 40 per cent.
SHADOWS.
There aie some shadows as well as
lights In the picture For instance, the
locelpts and net earnings ot rallwavs
In the United States for 1897, the latest
vear for which railway statistics have
been published, exhibit a decline, the
gross receipts having fallen from 1,207
to 1.124 millions of dollars, and tho net
earnings from 339 to 338 millions of dol
lars. Tho net profit on the capital In
vested In rallwavs, which, in 1893, had
averaged 3i per cent , shrunk, In 1897,
to 3 per cent Then, again, while the
tonago ot noit entiles shows an in
crease of 30 por tent in five ears, this
was entirely attributable to foreign en
tries, American shipping continuing to
decline The tonnage of the merchant
navy of tho United States, Including
the vessels used for coasting and fish
ing purposes, as well as for commerce
on the high heas, dropped from 4,866,000
tons In 1891 to 4,730.000 In 1898 Tho
tonange ot our vessels engaged In
ocenn-boine trafllc fell from 880,000 to
710,000 tons, We lomaik, also, when the
tiade of the several ports is examined
In detail, that New Yoik Is rapidly los
ing Its foimer preponderance The ton
nage entiles of the poit of New York
In 1S93 topi evented 42 3 per cent of
those of tho Union, in 1S9S they con
stituted only 33 8 per cent. Baltimore,
meanwhile, had risen from 4 7 to 7 6
per cent., and New Oilcans from 3 5 to
7 4 per cent. Philadelphia, which in
189! contributed 9 7 jier cent of tho
total tonnage entries of the Union, now
furnishes only 7.6 per cent It should
also be pointed out that the nominal
amount of the public debt rose In five
years fiom 1,340 to 1,796 millions of
dollars, though, if the amount of cash
In tho treasuiy ut the time be deducted,
the actual debt in 189S will be observed
to show an increase of only 188 mill
inns. Mr Mulhall finds an unquestionable
proof of the goneinl prosperity of th
Union in the fact that tho business
dono by tho national banks Increased
30 per cent in five years Dua atten
tion Is also directed to tho proof that
public Instruction is progressing stead
ily, tho average daily school attend
ance Increasing much faster than the
population. Tho amount expended for
schools In tho United States Is threo
times as much per Inhabitant as Is de
voted to tho same purpose In the United
Kingdom.
