Tha brief announcement chronicles the paaslBg away of a venerable col ored woman whoae fame has spread to every part of the United States and her picture has even sppeared In a London paper. In Raleigh scarcely a person can be found to whom "Aunt" Betsy was unknown. Tbe old woman died at seven o'clock at her homo abou four miles from Raleigh where she and her hus band, "Uncle' ' BUI Holmes, have a little farm and raise vegetables for the Raleigh market. "Aunt" Betsy mustt. havav- baen- mora than ; eiffbty years old. In ante-bellum days she was the cook for William Boylan, the grandfather of Alderman William Boylan. She was a faithful, cheery hearted woman and she made friends with every one. For the past ten years she has been the character ' of the. town. "Aunt" Betsy, with a gay bonnet pushed on the back of her large head, might be seen almost daily driving about the city in a dilapi dated buggy drawn by a gentle black bull named Joe. The outfit was so ridiculous that she never failed to attract attention. In all the parades on Raleigh's streets for years, little matter what the character of the turn-out might be, "Aunt" Betsy drew up the rear driving "Joe": to her buggy. She was photographed . In numerable times and the pictures were sold ,as souvenirs or on postal cards. Her pictures appeared in. Tho Herald and other New York ; papers, as well as in Boston. Chicago, St. Louis and even San Francisco Jour nals and In at least two magazines. She was an old time southern negro. one of the last of her kind, and her passing away , will bring regret to many a soul Jn Raleigh. She leaves a husband and three sons.

An analysis of our export, trade to Germany by an expert shows that the effects of the application of the new German tariff will not be as serious as has been apprehended. Our total exports to Germany in l904 were about $234,000,000, and of this amount $160,000,000 waa raw ma terial and only $54,000,p00 food products. Of the raw materials $133, 837,000 were admitted free of duty, as also $l0,u8G,2S0 of the fbod prod ucts.. The new tariff mates few cuanges In the free list, so thht $142, 000 ,400 of the total of $234000,000 Is not affected by the new 1 German tariff catea. T18 sports rially af fected amounted in 1904 to $65,000,- 000, ibut, as the expert Explains "The ichlet difficulty is I realfr nar rowed down to about $25,641 000, or less than 2 per cent of Amer san ex port trade." If there is to beja tariff war between the United Stales and Germany we ca nsustaln It mi ch bet ter than Germany. It will also serve to force American trade In otbir mar kets which have hardly. bee culti vated by American products.; Com pensations are offered In; many direc tions. German commercial . bouses, manufacturers and worklngmen will seriously feel the loss ' pt : Imports from the United State's, and the de privation will be reflected upon the government in Gorman politics.' , A GUARANTEE CtRE FOR FILES.
