With houts of "viva Madero!" they let flv first one shower of rocks and then a econd. The whole thing was over in five hiinutes. As it was learned later, Diaz nmself coolly commanded one of his lids to run out and see why the police lid not act. he police did act. but hot before the crowd had begun to catter.

Friday evening the Governor's Troop will be put through the same ordeal, when Captain William II.

Hayes, Tenth Cavalry, Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont, will inspect the cavalrymen.

Another war touch was given to last evening's inspection by the presence of practicaly all of the National Guard officers, including the cavalry representatives in this city, who have beer, detailed for duty with the regular troops on the Mexican border. Inspected Arsenal Supplies Heretofore the regular army officers accompanied the Guard officers at their annual inspections and made their reports accordingly to the War Department.

The guardsmen, too, were always Inspected in full dress uniform. The State inspections will be held later in the spring most likely April 5, for the infantry companies, and a little later for the cavalry. Regular army officers, however, will accompany the Guard inspectors then. Primarily the purpose of the inspection last evening was to determine just how quickly guardsmen could be ready for immediate service and in what shape the equipment is for an emergency. For this reason Lieutenant Saunders spent most of the day at the State arsenal looking over all kinds of paraphernalia, supplies, at the State's depot under the direction of Major L.

V. Rausch, quartermaster. The two companies were mustered on the armory floor and the men put through their paces in the school of the soldier, evolutions, guard duty, manual and as independent commands under the leadership of non commissioned officers.

Mil LEESBURC CHILD IS BURIIEDTO DEATH Celluloid Article Explodes in Hands of Ruth Evelyn Goodheart MOTHER FINDS BODY Special to The Telegraph Carlisle, March 18.

Ruth Evelyn Goodheart aged i year and 9 months, was burned to death yesterday afternoon at her home in Lees burg, near here, as the result of playing with a ceiuloid comb given to her by her mother when the latter went a store to purchase household supplies. Evelyn was the only child of William and Hazel Goodheart. Rather than take her out in the cold while she made a hurried trip to the store, the mother thought to enable her to amuse herself she would give her a comb. The fact that the comb was celluloid did not appeal to her as dangerous. During the mother's absence, however, the baby must have toddled to the stove, put the comb in the Are and ignited it, an explosion following, a'ha eW Wfl; dress wasr'soowabhzze, and when Goodheart returned she found her dead on her knees, her body burned black.

A much better undertone has developed on the Stock Exchange, reports Henry Clew3.

Nothing contributed more to this improvement than the world wide ease of money. Loanable funds are abundant everywhere, especially at this center, and at exceptionally low rates. Some slight hardening may be anticipated previous to the April settlements, but this will be purely temporary and low rates are to be expected until the approach of our next harvest. Along with this plethora of money goes a material easing of the credit situation. Good borrowers have no difficulty in finding all necessary accommodation.

Under existing conditions it pays better to put money into good investments paying 4 or 6 per cent, than seeking employment for money at one half those rates. Many financial institutions recognize this situation and have been enlarging their holdings of good stock and bonds. While these conditions last it will be difficult to keep stocks at their present level, provided misfortunes do not intervene. Banks' Big Gain A favorable feature is the steady improvement of the bank situation as shown by the last bank call trom tne Comptroller at Washington. In New York deposits have gained over $200, 000,000 since the call two months ago, while the Chicago banks reported a gaia of over $m00OrOOO" durhiff the same "period.

iTheffoans at New York increased during this period' $124, 000,000 and at Chicago $30,000,000. 'Another important feature of slow but far reaching effect is the improved situation Of our foreign trade. Our exports are rapidly returning to normal and healthy conditions. In February our shipments abroad of merchandise aggregated $176,000,000, or $51,000,000 more than a year ago. Importations during the same period amounted to $121,700,000, a decreasa of $8,400,000 compared with last year.

This meant an excess of $54,000,000 in exports as against an excess of $5, 500,000 in imports in 1910 and an excess of $7,400,000 In exports in 1909. This is, certainly a most encouraging and has Immensely strengthened our credit abroad. Exports Good Showing Of the total exports in February $88,000,000, or one half of the whole, consisted of food products, mineral oils and cotton. A year ago these articles amounted to only $50,000,000 In value. The bulk of this increase, however, occurred in which was valued at $58,000,000 In February, 1911, compared with $24,000,000 In 1910.

Our dependence upon a single article, such as cotton, as an export is perhaps the least desirable feature In the foreign trade situation, because cotton shipments must soon decline until the next crop begins to move. "Yet the increase in breadstuff a from $7, 000,000 in February, 191 tf, to $11, 000,000 in February, 1911. must be accepted as a satisfactory sequence of declining prices; and It is also txrbe remembered that our exports 'of manufactures, especially Iron and steel, are steadily expending. Steel Trust Shows Increased Business Special to The Telegraph New York, March 18. The annual pamphlet report of the United States Steel Corporation for the year ended December 31.

1910, shows a volume of business done by all the subsidiary companies during that period of $703, 961,424, compared with $646,382,251 in 1909.

The average number of employes in the service of the corporation and subsidiaries during 1910 was 218,435, an increase compared with the previous year of 32,935. The aggregate amount of payrolls for the year was $174,955,139, an increase of $23,291, 745, or 15 3 per cent, over the prer vious year.

STILL ME BILLS TO RAISE UEf Claim to an Estate Is Involved; Police Asked to Help ANSWER HIDDEN IN FIRE RUINS Harrisburg Studio Where Photos Were Taken Burned Years Ago EVERY RECORD IS DESTROYED Pictures Published in Telegraph in Hope That Someone May Remember Tucked away somewhere In som one's memory of the things of yesteryears may be hidden just the one bit of information that will solve a difficult problem for Mrs. Lewis L. Evett 6005 Prairie avenue, Chicago, the sole clue to the solution of which lies in the accompanying pictures. The real answer is hidden by the ashes of several fires and dust of years ago, and it involves not only the question of Mrs. Evett's rightful claim to art estate, but the question of the identity of her father, whose name she always supposed to be H.

W. Schmidt. The assistance of Chief of Police Zeil was requested by Mrs. Evett some days ago. She sent the only clues she possessed.

Thus far the Police Department has been unsuccessful in its quest, although the department has worked to unco.ver something. Says He Lived Here Mrs. Evett's story in 'brief is this: During the Civil War days and prior to that time, Mrs. Evett's father lived In Harrisburg. Incidentally he went to the photographic studio of D.

C. Burnite then at 110 Market street, and was photographed. The photographs from which the accompanying pictures were made were found by Mrs. Evett among Tacr father's effects. Aside from the fact that the photographs were taken at Burnite's, she knows nothing about them neither when they were 'talmr "1 or women are.

The original plates, it is understood, are no longer in existence, nor the studio records pertaining to the pictures. Several fires which practically destroyed the studio and contents and the forgetfulness of the years have been responsible for that. Not Sure of His Name For fifty years the firm of Burnite Co. has been out of existence but the business was continued up until about eighteen years ago by D. XX Burnite, who conducted a studio in North Sixth Less than a score of years ago Burnite died.

Evett's father died some ten years ago and since then she learned, she informed Chief Zeil that his name was not W. Schmidt" Now the question of Identity is the all important one in order that her father's estate may be settled, and it is by the aid of the pictures, through the Police Department and the that Mrs. Evett hopes to trace something about the Identity, of her dead parent.
