The Cotton Picker.

WillsRve $50 900, 900 annually. The figs
ures are enormous! startling! bewilder.
ing! Are they true or are they visions
OF disordered brain? If true, it means
a fortune to all who own small number
of shares in the company who own the
patents on the machine. What are thu
facts!
First. The cotton crop OF 1891 was g.
100000 bales; this fact is esta blished by
statistics accepted by the entire CONNER
cial world. 1t cannot be doubted
Second, 1t costs on the average $3.50
per bale to pick cotton from the field.
This fact can be proved by any one who
has had experience in raising cotton, and
as there are over 1900, 900 heads OF FAM
lilies who raise cotton for living there
are certainly moro than that number
who can be summoned to testify to that
effect. The knowledge is, however, not
confined to them alone. 1t is known ia
nearly every Merchant, Doctor, Lawyer.
Preacher and Citizen OF the cotton, grow
Ing region. An investigator cannot ex-
am inc hundred thousandth part OF tha
testimony before being convinced.
Third. The machine is capable q
picking for less that 81 per bale, and II
picks a larger per cent OF the cotton, a
cleaner staple, and in all respects far
superior to human hands. This is
proven by the Endorsement OF the board
OF trade and the bankers, lawyers, doc
tors, preachers, merchants and citizens
of Waco, Texas, where it has done its
work,
Fourth Only a limited amount ot
stock will be offered for sale, and il you
wish TO share in the profits, which tho
facts show must be made, you must
act promptly; this is proven by the
crowds that throng the company's office,
No. 81 Milk St., Boston, Mass, and pura
chase stock.

TALES TOLD BY THE TICkERS
OF THE TELEGRAPH.
The Son OF tho Treasurer of st. Louis, Mo,
Disgraces His Father and then Com
mits Suicide. IA Rear-End Collision
Results In Eight Death.

The city Of ST. Louis, Mo-, was
startled by an early morning alarm of
fire in the city hall in City Treasurer
Foersters office. An investigation
showed that the vaults had been
opened, great many Of the books and
papers taken out, piled on the floor
and set fire to. Fortunately the fire
was soon under control without doing
much damage. Shortly after this
came the news that the treasurer's
son, Edward, who was also his first
assistant in the Office, had shot him
self in the right temple, inflicting Il
fatal wound. Acting Mayor Walbridge
Immediately ordered the city auditor
and controller To take charge of the
books in the Office. The controller
soon after made "A partial report in
which he says that Treasurer Foerstel
is $50, 900 short in his accounts. The
mayor Immediately suspended Mr..
Foerstel, and appointed as temporary
treasurer Charles Parsons, "A prominent
banker.
For weeks past stories Of peculiar
doings in the treasurer's Office have
been afoat. There have been suits
brought against the treasurer by money
lenders, notorious for their usurious
charges, assertions regarding real es-
tate deals Of the treasurer and his son
allegations OF use Of the city money by
some one who recouped the treas
ury previous TO the regular eXamina-
tions by borrowing from the Shylocks,
who at last sued the treasurer himself
on notes which he declares to be for
geries. The police cannot shake off
the suspicion that young Foerstel set
the fire that was discovered in time to
save the records.
Youns Foerstel's record is that Of a
wild young man and plunger. On
horses he was heavy better, placing
a thousand or more at a time. He was
also interested in real estate deals be-
yond his capacity TO handle, as is
shown by recent developments in court
proceedings, in the nature Of injunc-
tions, etc.

THE GRANDEST UNION
THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN
WOULD BE THAT
or the United States and the Dominion Of
Canada.---A Youthful Jesse James In
Wisconsin Murders an Old Man and
Takes Possession of Ills Home.

The New York Sun, which for some
time has been urging the political
union of Canada and the United States,
publishes three column editorial on
the subject. 1t is one of Dana 3
masterpieces. A brief abstract reads
as follows:
"There can be no doubt that the
republic, with the addition of the
Canadian possessions, would be much
stronger than it now is, whether as "A
political, commercial or military power.
Controlling, as it then would, the
entire continent and the adjacent
islands, with population at the start
of 100000 Of English-speaking
people. 1t would certainly be the
richest, the strongest and most pro-
gressive nation in the world. No
foreign nation would dare provoke it
TO war or could successfully assail any
of its essential interests.
"And now that the question of con-
tilental union has come forward with
out assistance from us we must, in
view of what has been said and Of
what remains to be said, regard it as
altogether the most important question
claiming the attention of the American
people. 1t is clearly TO the interes of
the entire union and of every state in
the union TO encourage and assist by
all proper means the movement now so
hopefully progressing in favor of an
equal, honorable and perpetual union
between the dominion of Canada and
the great republic The spirit for
union among the citizens north of the
border, so far as we can ascertain, is
spontaneous; far transceuding every
consideration of a partisan or sectional
feature, and it should appeal TO the
purest and most unselfish patriotism,
not only of every American citizen,
but of every English speaking person
on the North American continent"

The Pope is Pleased.

Rome cable: Mgr Satoli has sent
to Cardinal Rampolla an important
letter containing the two decisions and
report of the proceedings of the
American bishops conference and
Rampolla has replied without delay,
expressing the pope's satisfaction with
the communication and giving further
instructions regarding Satollis mission
TO the United States. A high church
authority says that the vatican is in
fact well pleased with the decisions of
the conference on the scholastic ques-
tions considering them at once moder-
ate and tending TO union and peace.
This satisfaction is all the more lively
seeing that the resolutions are in
harmony with the precise instructions
given by the pope To Mgr. Satolli. The
pope would have opposed absolutely
any result of the conference tending to
hamper his policy of pacification or to
encourage dissension between Amer
lean sentiment and the episcopate,
between religion and the state.
