SECRETARY HESTER TALKS.
Why thcNcw Orleans Cotton Exchange Re-
fuses to Change Their Form of Contract.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. Special
The Pi,ayune to-day publishes q
lengthy interview with Henry &. Hester,
secretary OF the New Orleans cotton
exchange, relative to the recent actio n
of the institution refusing to make any
change in the form OF their contract.
hester shows that out of 1000 leading
Southern interior cotton centers, which
the 81. Louis Repu bile states were fur.
nished with blank petitions favoripp
the change, only twenty eight towns
responded He says that before the
publication OF the st. Louis Republics
article there was very strong senti-
ment in favor Of the change to the
middling clause, but that the fact de-
veioped by the st. Louis Repub ic that
over $40 leading Southern centers failed
or refused to indorse the petition for a
change is mainly responsible tor the re-
vulsion in the sentiment in New Orleanst
Hester says that the report sent BY
tho Galveston Exchange to the st. Louis
and other exchanges is entirely differ
emit from those sent to Now Orleans:
that resolutions sent to New Orleans
declined to Join in opposing tho Hatch
bill because OF the difference OF opinion
entertained by the members of the Gal
weston Exchange; that in the resolu-
lions sent by Galveston to st. Louis
nothing whatever was said about this
difference of opinion. Galveston was
only asking for change in the form Of
contract.
In answer to the question what Gal
weston wants, Hester says his people arc
uncertain, but adds that he has official
data indicating that the wish of the
Galveston exchange for the passage OF
some such measure as the Hatch bill is
due to the belief that the Hatch measure
will stop the dealing in free on board
and forward the delivery OF business,
thereby greatly injuring tho business of
small Southern towns and driving it to
the larger cities.
Hester insists that the prosperity of
New Orleans and other larse Southern
centers must of necessity be based upon
the prosperity OF tho smaller commercial
communities in the South, and that
whereas much OF the business that was
formerly done at the large centers is now
controlled by tho interior towns, for tho
prosperity of the latter gives ample
scope for the brains and capital of the
l.rger seaboard cities.
Hester also stated that in common
with New York, the belief was firmly
entertained that the present form of
contract is undou btedly the fairest that
could be used ior both planter and con-
sumner, that of course the desire OF Now
Orleans is to meet as far as possible
public opinion and do anything that
would improve the condition and en-
hanco the prosperity Of the cotton plant
ing interests Of the South.

Marriage is always serious business,
but not infrequcntly it has lutiicrous
accomplishments. An English paper re-
lates that widower no longer young
gave tho clergyman who ofiiciated at his
second marriage good deal Of trouble
by his stupidity. He seemed to be pos
sesscd by some spirit of contraricty
When told TO give his right hand he
gave his left. When the minister said,
Say this after me-" he immediately
replied, "Say this after me-" Then,
when the words he was to repeat were
given to him he was stolidly silent.
At last he seemed to be aware that
tho minister WAS somewhat disturbed,
and i'll the middle of the service he up
set the reverend gentleman's gravity by
volunteering this apology:
You see, sir, it's so long since was
married afore that you must excuse my
forgetting these things. youths Com

Their Names.

A Savannah paper tells of physician
OF that city who was recently called to
prescribe for an old negro woman. After
ascertaining her symptoms and assuring
her that her fears of instant death were
baseless, he turned his attention to her
children two rollicking pickaninnies,
who were having n tusslo on the floor.
whats the name of your boys?" he
asked the woman.
THAT one, sab, is Lake Genevah,"
said the woman, pointing to her younger
child, land that one, sab, am Lake SUI
pcriah."
"Where did you get such namesr'
asked the doctor in amazement.
From book, sah," answered the
woman.-New York Tribune.
