THE EXTREME OF olscouaTesy.

How Callers Arc Often Made Uncomfort-
able by Thoughtless OF Rude Hostesses.
That it is one of the objectionable social
sins for any one to be discourteous in her
own house to caller goes with
out saying, but an exchange makes
the following comments as to the
ways in which this rudeness is often
manifested: 1t is not infrequent that you
would prefer that certain callers should
stay away, but more than likely they have
beeu repeatedly and warmly invited to call.
ard no one is to blame but yourself If thu
cold shoulder is to be shown, or petty dis.
likes or Sights tc be displayed. there is
ample room and opportunity. Your home
is certainly not the place to show them.
Any one crossing your doorstep, whatever
his standing may be, and whether hidden
or not. is for the time your guest and is en-
titled to the usages of polite society and
courteous consideration. You should never
be deluded By the idea that shortcomings
in politeness and hospitality are overlooked
or forgotten, for such is rarely the case;
and by sensitive people such actions are
much more painful than an open affrort
or Insult If your callers should be back
ward or awkward, they have every right
in making them feel comfortable and at
ease in conversation, amusement, or in
whatever way it may be needed.
There are few things quite generally
INDUCED in by we'll meaning people when
callers are present. who, if they would take
a second thought at the time, would see
that they are extremely discourteous.
There may be mentioned meaning looks at
members of the household or old acquaint-
ances who may be present, signs with the
fingers, whispered consultation in the hall
way, the carrying on of protracted CONVEX
sations one with another to the ignoring
OF the caller. refusing to play upon the
piano if requested to do so, when the caller
knows that there is no reasonable excuse
except Discrimination why you should not.
Many other common abuses might be men
toned, but these are sufficient TO at least
give food for reflection.

Special 10 lne OdZeIlt
NEW ORLEANS, LA, Sept. 23.-Atwood,
Violet & Co. say: Futures-Our market
opened this morning 6 points higher than
last night, ana after several ups and downs,
o. total advance of 8 points on the day,
closed points better than last night.
Liverpool shows more activity in futures
than in spots, although net sales there to-
iav were 1900 bales. Futures advanced
from j-G4 to 6-64d, closing quiet and steady.
The course OF Liverpool tomorrow will
determine whether they think the advance
on this side to-day has been sufficient to re-
sgond TT their improvement of to-day. Our
two principal correspondents in New York
are a, variance in their opinion of the mar
set. one saying that the undertone is good,
Eud anticipating better market, the other
saving the bears are selling freely. The
Nr,r York market advanced 10 points on
the day, but lost points.
Port receipts to-day are 10000 bales
against $4,000 bales last year.
Receipts here were smaller than expected,
Dill, tomorrow they will be about 5000 bales
Port receipts so far for the week are 49,
DO bales against liG, 600 bales last year,
while port stocks are 10000 bales larger
han this day last year. Ii the interior con-
irucs TO market as freely as they are do
ny row. it certainly will not encourage u
PUBLISH feeling.
Liverpool says to-day that the india crop
Is very good, and instead of 20 points de-
gease in average, it is 10 to 20 per GENT
peter.
We think good deal OF the Improvement
ofthc last few days IS due to desire to
cover shorts in view of the next govern
u,at report, which, however, is not due
mr,l the 10th OF October. We close here
rather easy on futures.
Spots closed steady. Sales, $3.50 bales.
Madliag and above Lice up; balance I'M
changed.
T. o. b. sales, 1900 bales.
Demand principally for strict middling to
good middling. Liverpool and German

Iowa PARK, WICHITA COUNTY, TEX,
Sept. 23-The past week has been busy
one with us. While we hoped the Kiowa
lands would be included In the proclama-
ton and opened for settlers, yetwe feared 1t
would not. However, it Is now only ques-
ton of time.
We have moved our Office to Iowa Park,
and will remain here till the Fort Sill coun-
try is opened for settlement. We have
secured nice home on the borders and can
go into the Territory in three hours by
wagon. Is not that better than waiting
until the last minute and then rush in, u
stranger, and one of an excited moba Is it
not better than camping and starving on
the border for months waiting on uncertain
proclamatlonS9
We think so. We want boom on this
side of the Territory, and are going to have
it, but not mob if we can help it. How
can we prevent it2 Just look at our ad
vance into Greer in 1887. That is how we
will work it. A steady stream of emigrant
wagons-from twelve to twenty daily. No
crowding. Every one satisfied there was
plenty of land for all. Every one glad that
the others were coming. The present rush
for the Oklahoma lands is caused by two
classes. First, sooners who are starved
out waiting; second. those that live SO far
away that they are ignorant of the true
situation and are rushing for fear they will
get left. Result-a panic. Our colony is
working by common-sense management, 10
be exactly on time, without any rush or
waiting. In our next we expect to open the
ball on Fort Sill. Respectfully,

engaged in undermining the foundation,
was caugh: by the crumbling walls and was
crushed to the earth beneath the debris,
breaking his legs and so crushing his head
and body that he died from the effects
thereof in fifteen minutes thereafter
Mr.. wilkins was late from Fort Worth
and was about thirty years of age. He has
no family. We learn he was originally
from Missouri He was given decent
burial this morning by his co-laborers.
While it was great piece Of negligence
that life was thus forfeited unnecessarily,
no one seemed to be particularly blamable
therefor The other and last wall was soon
after pulled down by ropes, instead of un-
dermining.

the dish to the lower part of the upper
globe This tube having been taken out,
the upper globe is partially filled with wa
ter, the tube is then replaced and water is
poured into the dish. The water flows
through the long tube into the lower
glope and expels the air, which is forced
into the upper globe; the air thus COM
pressed acts upon the water and makes it
jet out as represented in the figure. If it
were not for the resistance of the atmos-
phere and friction the liquid would rise
to height above the water in the dish
equal to the difference of the level in the
two globes. explains Ganot in his work

Az INLAND NANAL RESERVE.

The necessity of a United States inland
naval armament has been drawn to public
notice many times. Recently the New
York Commercial AdUertiser suggested
that a solution of the difficulty has been
found in the fleet of whaleback steamers,
now in course of construction on the great
lakes 1t is urged that at short notice the
whalebaclls could be turned into first
class reserve navy. They have the ad-
vantage of presenting little front to hostile
shot. The little wheelhouSe near the
stern could be constructed of steel with
inside mountings for small guns which
could be put on board at short notice. At
any moment these modern monitor-lilze
grain ships could be turned into destructive
engines of warfare
The treaty OF 1917 between the United
States and Great Britain limits the naval
strength of the Union on the lakes to two
or three small vessels of war. Under this
arrangement it would be impossible to do
more than prepare for emergencies. This
could be done, however, without abrogat-
ing the treaty. Stations at various points
along the lakes could be established for
the storing Of the armament for the
Whalehacks as the 1dccrtiser suggests.
There IS no reason why a WetmOre whale
lack should not be as useful to us as a
TeutOnic to Great Britain. Of course, it
IS known to all that Great Britain has the
swift transatlantic passenger steamers in
Just such reserve for emergencies.

ANOTHER BIG WILL CONTEST.
Allen Thorndyke Rice's Last Testament to
Come In for 1t This Time.


BosToN, Sept. 24.-[Special 1-Another in
teresting will contest is on the tapis. The
will is that of Allen Thorndyke Rice, who
died at the Fifth Avenue Hotel in May, ISs9
and the contestants live in this vicinity.
Mr.. Rioe inherited lot of money from his
parents. and at no time in his life was he in
actual need of funds. But he was lavish in
his expenditures, and it required large in
come to meet his expenses. From his
infancy he was the especial favorite of his
grandmother, Mary NJ. Bourne, who spent
her summers at Newport and her winters
out in Brookline, SO when she made her will
she beQueathed all her money to him, but
with the proviSo that one-sixth should be
held in trust for him by c. U. Cotting, of
Brookline. The will provided, however
that if Rice had issue the trust fund was to
go to them upon his decease, but If he had no
issue he might dispose of it by will.
Now it is alleged that in his will Mr.. Rice
did not speak with sufficient explicitness to
bequeath this trust fund, but that as to that
fund he died inteState and that the property
in issue, which amounts to something over
25O, 900, will go to the heirs of Mrs Bourne.
These are the Countess Anna de Sartigue,
of Paris, wife of Count Eugene de Sartfgue,
and Countess Mary A. Bannelos, also of
Paris, wife of Count Miguel de Les Santos de
Bannelos. both children of Mrs. Bourne, and
G. K Parker, of New York; James Parker, of
Boston, and Mary NJ. Parker, of Dublin, N.
H., children of the late Mary NJ. Parker, and
grandchildren of Mrs Bourne.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
P1TTsBURG, FRIDAY, SEPT. Is, lSsl
DEMAND FOR BLAINE CONTINUES.

The man who 'fhas charge of the North
west for the President" as Colonel Elliott
2. Shepard describes the function of this
important but anonymous care-taker,
should have safely tethered that section
in a vacant lot somewhere and looked
after Nebraska in time to prevent the out
burst which the Republicans of that State
Yesterday made for Mr.. Blaine for Presi-
dent in 80. The demonstration for
Blaine was quite regardless of Colonel
Shepard's confidential advice that the
Maine statesman is to withdraw next JAN
uary.
The enthusiasm for Blaine in Nebraska
is. however. hut a repetition of what has
occurred in almost every State convention
so far Those friends of the administra-
ton at Washington who are looking for a
second term. and who hope to repress the
popular preference for the brilliant Secre-
tary of State. will have to put uncom-
monty nimble and talented agents Gin
charge" of pretty much all sections,
North, South. East and West, if they ex-
pect to check the tide so steadily rising in
every direction for BlaiDe.
What Mr. Blaine may or maysnot do in
response tothese manifesSdticns of Repub-
Hcan preference for his candidacy might,
it is easily conceivable, depend upon the
future state of his health. But if, as Col
onel Shepard declares, the Maine states
man has really made up his mind under no
circumstances TO accept the nomination,
he would hardly lead his friends and admir-
ers to ultimate disappointment by keeping
silent until January. That would, of
course, be a great help to President Harri-
sons canvass for a second term; but it
would not be frank way of meeting the
sincere public demonstrations on his own
behalf: nor would it be fair to other aspir-
ants for Presidential honors.
The conclusion may be entertsinedSwith
reasonable safety that if Blaine means
positively to decline he will not defer the
announcement until a date which would
practically shut out such other candidates
as are holding back in honest and cOmpli-
mentary recognition of his superior ability.

TIE FOG THIS TINE.

1t seems useless for the press or public
to enter protest whenever there is a rail-
road disaster. Nothing is ever done with
those responsible for the loss of life, and
the accidents continue at more or less
regular intervals. There is always an ex-
cuse-an unavoidable spreading of the
rails, shaky bridge that was believed to
be sound, heavy storm or a dense fog.
The Onus of yesterdays fatality is placed
on the fog. The accident is very similar
even in its details TO many which have oc-
curred and to many which will occur.
There is just about as much negligence re-
ported as is usual in such cases, and no
more. There seems to be 10 way of reach
ing the railroads in such a manner as to
impress upon them that these things must
stop. Until such a method is discovered
and applied incidents of this kind ap-
parently may as well be accepted as reg
ular feature of the business.
