$72 a Bale for Cotton.

We make what is known as the EAGLE

can gin cotton Of yGTy ionS STAPLE ma IA
pound; or he can gin on the same gin very dirty
cotton, turning out u sample from this kind of
cotton of the very highest grade and bringing rs
high price as cotton well and clcanly picked.
We have hundreds of testimonials regarding
the wonderful work done on the Eagle Eclipse
Iuller and Cotton Gin. During the season of
1889 a large number of planters sold their cot
ton ginned on this Eagle Eclipse lIullcr Cotton
Gin, i'll various markets at 1G. 1G'a and l7ia cents
bales of this cotton for II ii Davis, of Bruins
wick, Miss, at i7ia cents a pound, and they
write to Mr.. Davis that it was the most wonder
full work of any saw gin. and that the staple,
which was SO long, was not cut seems very re-
markable. During the season of lS@ large
number of planters obtained remarkably high
prices for cotton ginncd on the EAGLE
ECLIPSE iIULLER GIN.
one planter states that Harris Day x Go.
pound. Mr.. G l. Bonny of Madison parish:
states that Harris, Day& Co. sold 1O9 bales of
cotton ginned on the Eagle Eclipse iIuller Gin to
net him SO a bale. The crop of Dr. George
Humphreys was also ginned on the Eagle
Eclipse lluller gin, and sold by n J ForStall az
1914 c. a pound, One planter who purchased
two Eagle Eclipse lluller Cotton Gins the
past season states that John T Elardic Co.
sold his crop of 80 bales at one cent Il pound

Eagle Eclipse Iullcr Cotton Gins ready for i'm
mediate shipment. Send for Illustrated cata-
logueS and price lists
The entire crop of long staple cotton of II. III.
Davis, of Brunswick, Miss was ginned on
new Eagle Eclipse Ilullcr Gin, with the Patent
Combined Breaker and Feeder. and sold at lie
G. pound.
Mr.. Davis writes to the New Orleans Machine
Co., Limited as follows;
''rhe cotton with ordinary handling, was sold
all of it, first and last packing complete by lar-
riS, Day & Co., at 17ia cents "A pound. There
were SiXty-fO bales of my own cotton and
eight bales of a neighbours. all ginned on your
EAGLE ECLIPSE HULLER GIN. | cannot do
better than quote from Harris, Day CO.. let
ter regarding the ginning; they say: AS far as
the ginning is concerned, we must compliment
you. 1t is the MOST WONDERFUL WORK OF
ANY SAW GIN, and that the staple which is
very long, is not cut, seems very remarkable.
The cotton was not prepared, as is often the
case, at fair, but simply handled like the rest
of the crop and was sold on its merits.
The above endorsement of the EAGLE
ECLIPSE HULLER GIN, with the combined
BREAKER and FEEDER, proves the SEPE-
RlORlTN of the gin over any other kid.
Samples of the 17ia cent cotton are now on
exhibition at our office.

IVORY ENGRAVING.
A Fine Fad For the Folks Forging
Fast Into Favor

A Fine Fad For the Folks Forging
Fast Into Favor.
Since the advent of the Wizard
Oil concert company recently, san
Antonio's bright young men have
caught on to trick in cards that is
worth many times more than tive
learned about the club tables or bar
rooms.
1t is the art of ivory card cutting,
taught them by Mr.. Willard, the
versatile musician and comedian,
who can beat Sol. Smith Russell i'll
his famous 'take OFF, as a country
boy. When Willard reached the city
the beautiful embossed cards soon
appeared, and almost as soon, were
in great demand. Nothing had been
seen like them and he soon
had lots of orders and lots
of pupils, and his cards commanded
q high price On New Years day they
were quite plentiful, Mt least four
parties of callers using them because
of their novelty. His method of
making them completely bsffied the
guessing skill of many printers and
stationers and 1t was only to LIGHT
man that he gave himself away, by
cutting one day, card, covered with
ferns and flowers and having the
motto, LET there be light" as he let
him into the secret. Taking very
sharp knife and thick card, he raised
what machinists call q "burr" on the
paper, fashioning it to suit himself
In the most beau tiful leaves, curves,
fiourishes and ferns, q great deal of
the design depending on the skill OF
the artist. The knife was used in the
left hand, but it is not recorded, II
this is the particular hand that should
be employed.
Ladies, 1t would seem, would be
particularly adapted to such artistic
work, and no doubt, ere this, many
light fingers are thus employed. The
prettiest and most artictic designs OF
cards will command ready sale, as
much for their beauty as for their
novelty and for their originality OF
design.

A BURGLARY
EASILY AND QUIETLY DONE.
The Mallory Steamship ONCE Ran
sacked and Robbed Under the
Morning Newspaper. ONCE.

One OF the cutest, boldest and
coolest burglsries and robberies of the
many that have, of recent date, occurred
in San Antonio and baffled the police
occurred sometime last night and was
only discovered this morning by Mr..
Richard GehIert, assistant ticket
agent OF the Mallory Steamship Lines
in this city, when he opened up his
Office on Losoyo street, In
the daily Express building this morn
ing. He found the front door open
and suppOsing his superior, Mr..
Young, mad got down earlier, walked
in, and scene of confusion met his
eye. Two desks with patent locked
tops and drawers to each, had been
forced open by means Of chisels or
wedges of some sort, and the contents
of every drawer, and nearly every
pigeon hole. and the tin cash box had
been thoroughly rIfied. All the cash,
Sis in the box, was taken, and tickets
and passes had been thoroughly
scrutinized by the aid of q candle, the
grease showing plainly in each
drawer, and the used up end of can
die being found. Even the little
typewriter had been forced open, and
some cigar boxes, empty, had also
been opened in the hope of finding
cigars. Matches, that had been
struck, were found had been scattered
about the floor, but the
heavy screen blinds on all the
windows and doors had not been rails
ed, but were left drawn, as they are
usually every night.
Who the burglars were there is no
clue, although the officers were in.
formed early this morning of the o.
currence. They evidently entered by
means of skeleton key, 81 the outer
door had not been forced; merely un-
locked. The sum of $25 in silver.
placed in the back of q pigeon-hole
yesterday, had not been found by the
burglars. The printing Office Is stu
ated directly overhead, and the bust.
ness Office and pressroom are on each
side. The burglars safely escaped
these near neighbors, and even got
away without awakening the report
