A Firmer Money Market.

There has been quite q noticea
BILE frming up of the local none,
market during the past week, ant
although the advance in rates i.
usual at this time of the year, the
advance IN this case has beer
somewhat sharper than usual.
This apparent suddenncss in
the strengthening of the money
market, though surprise to
some, is not due to any unusual or
alarming cause, and would barely
have been noticed at all if the
aateness of the crops had not made
the upward tendency of the mar.
ket hitherto this summer very
gradual and the outflow cf money
to the interior a tride slower than
usual. This very gradual move
ment of the money market towards
higher rates had prepared busi.
ness men to expect q continuance
ofthe slow advance, but the sud
den heavy increase in the move
ment Of cotton to market and the
anxiety of planters to market
their crops owing to the preya-
lence OF high prices have caused a
sharp increase in the monetary
needs OF the interior, hence the
somewhat peremptory advance in
money rates.
There is not the slightest pro-
liability that the money market
will be unusually close this fall,
although there will bea few weeks
Of high rates as usual, but from
the fact that the movement of the
crop to msrket is likely to be
brisk and liberal, there is every
reason to believe that the return
to more reasonable money rates
will take place earlier than com
monty happens. All southern
crops are reported to be large,
hence there is every reason to be-
lieve that there will be a hsalthly
demand for money during the en-
tire busy season.-New Orleans

Waited Ten Years to Marry.

Martin George and Caroline
Jcnkyn were schoolmates in the
old town Of St. Ives Cornwall,
England, twenty years ago, and
became engaged, but neither had
money. Martin decided to come
TO America to seek his fortune,
and Caroline said she would wait.
That was ten years ago. Martin
was miner in Cornwall, and he
went directly to the mining re-
gions In California. He worked
hard, saved his money and at last
settled down in San Francisco as
broker in mining stocks, and
found himself rich enough to
marry. Mr.. George arrived in
New York few weeks ago by
previous arrangement and waited
impatlently for his bride, who was
expected 10 arrive on the Cunard-
er Gallia. Miss Jenkyn came to
New York in charge OF First Of
ficer John Stevens, who had known
her family for many years. When
she arrived q tall young man
about thirty years Of age, in q
fashionable cutaway coat and silk
hat, was down on the Cunard pier.
lie was the first to rush up tn
gangway, and in the cabin theree
was an affectionate meeting be-
tween the bride and groo m, who
had not seen each other for ten
years. There was no need for
delay about the wedding, because
George had engaged Rev. Mr..
McAnney a week before to per-
form the ceremony, and the bride
and groom, with Officer Stevens,
were driven in a carriage to the
ministers residence. Mr.. Mean
ney and his wife were just going
out for the evening, out it did mt
take more than q minute or two to
tie the knot. The bride was mar
ried in her travelling costume. She
is years old and the bridegroom
IS 80. Mrs. McAnney and Officer
Stevens were witnessesto the mar |
riage.-Chicago Herald.

EXOTIC LITERATURE.
A Protest Against the Tenden-
cies OF Writers ri Fiction.

The erotic in American fiction
| is a recent and exotic growth, not
native to the soil. 1t is, therefore,
unhealthy and unwholesome. 1t
is out of place in this cold north
| ern air. In it's own climate it is
q gaudy flower, in this temperate
zone it 10 q poisonous spotted lily,
rank of smell and blistering to the
touch. The licentlousness Of
Theophile Gsutier is elevated by
the power of his trausccudant
genius to the plane of true art.
In America 1t sinks into q dcnizen
Of the gutter.
A remarkable feature Of this
noxious development Is theproml-
nent part taken in 1t by women.
1t is somewhat startling to find
upon the title page Of a work
whose cold, deliberate immortality
and cynical disregard of all social
decency have set the teeth on edge
the name Of woman as the author.
We are so accustomed to associate
medesty Of demeanor, delicacy OF
thought and wold and purity OF
life with women that a certain set
Of adjectiyes expressive Of virtue
and morality have come to include
the idea of femininity in their
slgniiication. 1t is certainly sur
prlsing, if not repcllent, TO find
women the industrious laborers in
the work of tearing down the
structure of honor and respect for
their sex which has 80 lon, been
regarded as the basis of social ex-
istence.
If this breaking Of the holy
images be but another manifesto
tion Of the revolt Of women against
the too narrow limits of ancient
prejudice, It is only additional
proof that misguided revolution
easily becomes mere anarchy.
While the lispensation which
would coniine women to the nursery
and kitchen and exclude them
from broader fields of action is
happily deadletter, it is quite
certain that no condition of
civilization, however liberal, will
ever justify loose morals or lax
manners, or, what is almost rs
reprehenslble and much more
desplcable, the cynicism which
sneers at virtue while itprudently
keeps its own skirts unsoiled.
But 1t Is probable that the women
who write this kind Of ficticu are
mislel by vanity rather than actu.
ated by evil impulses. They
that in thus throwing off !
all restraint they are giving
evidence of originality Of thought
and force OF character; whereas
they are, in fact, courting un-
worthy suspicion and winning on !

Jury Service.

The New Orleans grand jury
which reported against our jury
service the other day, ought to
get some pointers from Other
American cities. The New York
jury system Is just like ours,
"only more so,' There we're cast
in New York at the election last
fall 277,739 votes, and The great
majority of the voters we're sub
ject to jury duty. When 1t came
to enrolling their names. however.
see how thev slipped through.
Only 1864 of the voters were
served with notice of enrolment,
1911 escaping altogether, not
being found or served; Of the rs
GA who were found and served,
GS60 ignored the notices entirely,
67,403 put in pleas OF exemption,
and tho names of $3.50 got into the
wheel. But even of this small
number the courts did not secure
the servlces-36l2 we're excused
by the courts, lll2 ignored their
summons, and finally 2402 was
the number Of jurors who actually
served, or one Of every ll6 voters
The law provides q remedy for
this by giving the judge the right
to fine delinquent Jurors. This
power is nominally exercised and
the fines are very literally assess
ed, but they are never collected.
During the last quarter, the fines
due the city amounted to tho
magnificent sum of $l93,G75, 80
that one would think that even if
the city did not get the Jurors it
got something in their place, but
of this sum $lSS,500 was remitted,
$54, 500 disputed and 1916 paid,
Out of 277,739 jurors the city got
2402; out of $I93,675 fines, it got
$975-and this is about the aver
age.
The truth is that the jury system
is going to the dogs very rapidly
in this country. They are worse
off III New York than we here in
New Orleans, because the service
is paid there and the professional
Jurors monopolize the jury box.
The frequent complaint about the
arduous character of jury service
is due to the fact that instead of
being shared by all citizens, it is
saddled on q comparatively few of
them. There is not city in
America where the jury service
does not need oyerhauling.-Times

CIVIL SERVICE. COMMISSION

Congressman Turner has written the
following letter to the editor of the
Hoxie Sentinel. 1t explains itself:
The Civil Service Commission will
hold session at Colby on September
II next, and hereafter sessions will be
held there twice each year, for the
purpose of conducting examinations
for appointments to the government
service They have absolute control
of all appointments of clerks in the
several departments at Washington,
and all like positions in the govern
ment service. They appoint all the
postoffice inspectors and special
agents of the pOstoffice department,
the medical examiners and special ex-
aminers of the pension department,
all railway postal clerks, ETC., etc.
They now have possession of about
all of the government service.
Under the law members of congress
are prohibited from recommending or
in any manner assisting anyone whose
appointment is made for this commits
sion.
1t is perhaps unnecessary for me to
say that l am politically and morally
opposed to the civil service law, and
my opposition shall not rest here; but
while it exists our people want an
equal chance with others, hence the
location of this board. Yours truly.
