mands wider prospect than that in

your remarkable speed?" was asked.
I'm comparison with one kind of

This fellow will take one hand to hold
the boil and the other to pick from it.
1t is plain that he unnecessarily loses the
use of one hand and retards the other.
When boy of twelve on my fathers

of my own age. Only few of them
could pick more than sixty pounds a
day, while could pick two hundred.

last one of them was soon picking two

are some men who nse both hands and
can yet pick only two or three hundred

five or six hundred. ] can give no ex-
PLANTATION of that unless it is simply q
thing of practice and endurance There

fingers used the thumb and two first
fingers on each hand to pick with, left

handling boil amounts to great deal
in picking bale.
Il think clear head is necessary to
fast cotton picking. The use OF one
hand in simple exercise like picking
is almost mechanical. 1t is SO COM
mon, in fact, that you can do it without
any exertion of the brain. 1t is easy,
too, to use both hands in the same mo-
ton, that is upward and downward,
back and forth, but when you come to
give each hand different direction at
the same time and keep both in con-
slant motion you find that your brain
is taxed with something unusual and a
little difficult. You can see an iIhper-
feet illustration of this by simply fam
| ming one hand up and down and the
other back and forth. 1t is imperfect
because once in this motion they keep
it and very slight mental effort is
necessary to keep it up, while the two
hands of cotton picker must be con-
stantly changing their directions -

One operator usually takes half an

HAS KING JUMPED ?
An Interesting Statement About the
st. Louis Pitcher.
McAULlFFE AGAIN In TROUBLE
Gossip About the Farrell-Daly and the
Reilly-Unknown Contests.
GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY

A gentleman who has in the past proven
that he knows considerable about baseball
affairs made very interesting statement
yesterday. It was to the effect that Pitcher
King, of the st. Louis club, will likely
either be found in the Pittsburg or Cincin-
natl League teams this year. The gentle
man referred to stated:
II have known for some time that King
is very anxious to leave the st. Louis club,
and also know that his contract with that
club is invalid owing to defect in it. 1 am
not guessing when 1 say this, because King
allowed friend of mine to see his contract,
snd they had it examined by lawyer, who
pronounced it worthless I am not at lib
erty to say what the defect Is, because King
does not want 1t known publicly at present
"But am at liberty to say that King has
emphatically declared that he is ready to sign
with League club. l know of no club that
has made him an offer yet. but 1t may be that he
will have an offer from League club before
long. He may land in Cincinnati or in Pitts
burg,:and If he comes to the latter one of our
pitchers may go to Cincinnati"
President O'NeilI was asked yesterday about
the above statement, but he had little to say
regarding it. Ha remarked that King is a
great pitcher and that he would be good man
for Cincinnati. but further than that Mr..
O'Neill knew nothing about the matter. But
there is notion prevailing to the effect that
as soon as the Baldwin case is disposed OF in
ST. Louis, King will wash his hands of Won der
Abe Go. King has not yet reported to the
st. Louis club and this gives rise to strong
suspicion that one of the League clubs has an
understanding with him.

Is One Article in the Treaty of This Country
With Italy.
WASHINGTON. April 2-The treaty with
Italy, referred to by Baron Fava in his letter to
Mr.. Blaine. contains the following interesting
paragraph:
Article XXL-If by any fatality which can.
not be expected and which may God avert,
the two contracting parties should be engaged
in war with each other. they have agreed, and
they agree now for then, that there shall be
allowed the term of six months to the mer-
chants on the coast and in the ports Of each
other, and the term of one year to those who
dwell in the interior. to arrange their business
and transport their effects wherever they
please, with the safe conduct necessary to pro-
tect them and their property until they arrive
at the ports designated for their embarkation.
All women and children, scholars of every
faculty. cultivators of the earth, artisans and
mechanics, manufacturers and merchants
unarmed and inhabiting the unfortited
town or villages, or others whose occupation
are for the comm on subsistence and benefit Of
mankind. shall be allowed to continue their re-
spective employment and shall not be molested,
in their persons, nor shall their houses or goods
be burnt or otherwise destroyed, nor their
fields wasted by the armed force of the belliger-
eht in whose power, by the events of var, they
may happen to fall; but If it be necessary that
anything should be taken from them for the
use of such belligerent, the same shall be paid
for at a reasonable price.
And il is declared that neither the pretense
that war dissoives treaties nor any other what.
ever, shall be considered as annulling or sus-
pending this article: but, on the contrary. that
the state of war is precisely that for which its
provisions are to be sacredly observed as the
most acknowledged obligations in the law of
nations"
The existence of this article was not generally
known by the diplomats. Representative Nc
Creary, who has made study of all the treaties
negotiated by this Government, said that it
was the most remarkable clause that had ever
come within his experience.

PRAISE FOR BLAINE.
CONGRESSMAN DAIZELL EXT0Ls THE
SECRETARY's LETTER.

The Telegram to Governor Nichols Should
Have Paciied Italy-It Showed That
This Country Was Moving in a Proper
Manner From the Start.
WASHINGTON. April 2.-Representative
DaIzell said this morning that he had read
Mr.. Blaine's letter, but the only comment
he wanted to make on the episode was that
this letter was highly creditable to Mr..
Blaine One of Mr.. BIaine's staunchest
admirers said this evening: Il cannot for
the life o. me understand how on earth the
Italian conld have taken otfense at the tone
of Secretary Blaine's first telegram to Gov
ernor Nichols. Ifanything. 1t should have
pacifed it. Had Mr.. Blaine been any
milder in his tone the Roman court would
to-day be twice as vehement in the demands
as it is. To my mind, Mr.. Blaine's tele-
gram has q tone that would tend to irritate
the State authorities in New Orleans rather
than the Government of Italy.
Then it is said that Mr.. Blaine encour-
aged the enemy by his attitude, giving them
courage and hints that were valuable. Don't
you suppose that the Italian Government
should accompany its protests, which have been
made and fought out. in any event, without as
sistance from Mr.. Blainef They are not novices
In statecraft over there, II they are h2sty and
hotblooded, and they needed no slip of Mr.
Blaine's pen, which don't think be made. to
aid them in their case or to stitfsn their back
bone.
''The italian Minister was quite eager In
his demands for reparation before Mr.. Blaine
sent the telegram as he has been SINCE and IL
that dispatch has had any effect it has been to
give Mr.. Blaine the basis for his claim that the
United States Government has done all in its
power to meet the just acquisitions of Italy. 1t
has strengthened the case of this country rather
than weakened II. Had Mr.. Blame sent a tele-
gram of any colder tone to the Governor.
simply calling for the facts, he could not now
assert, as he does, that he has used his entire
power in the premises, and there might be no
end TO the complica tion."
The apparent inability of the United States
to actually extend to foreigners the protection
which Is guaranteed in treaties, in case an out
rage is committed, for which a State is respon-
sible has led to considerable talk in diplomatic
circles 1t was suggested that Congress might
have to change the method Of negotiating
treaties, but when this view was presented to
ex-Representatiye Grosvenor, he very promptly
replied that no change was necessary. THE
United States" he said. ''can always be trusted
to do what is honest and right. We need not
go to the extent of revising all our methods for
the sake of pleasing the countries which an
nually send large numbers of their people to
our shores.'
