The causes OF shortage.

The growing crop OF cotton mas reached
point at which we can begin TO arrive 1T some
data which are reasonably correct.
1. The falling Off in The use OF fertilizers
of 100000 tons makes certain decrease from
the past crop on this score Of 100000 bales.
z. The inundati0n of from 10000 to
800, 900 acres of cotton lands in the AiisSS-
spp valley at this late date makes almost
certain Il loss of 10000 bales, compared
with last year
- should it be settled that there is
decrease in acreage of Il per 'cnt. as COM
pared with last year, this will create Il short
age OF lU0O,0UO bales, as many cases the Iahd
changed from cotton to com, is the best land
and the average land abandoned for cotton it
is said represents the average pruducuYeneSS.
1" Thus it appears as an almost POSITIVE Iact
that the crop now growing viii be easily
1,5OO,000 bales short OF the crop we have just
-" Thus far we feel pretty safe in our posi-
ton, but there are Possibilities, and even
probabilities, which | mention, that may de
crease the crop of 1S92-93 much more than
this.
81 Suppose il should appear from the
bureau report, as has been indicated by near
~ every private and state authority during
the past month that the decrease in acreage
instead of being Il per cent is as much as is
per cent. This would mean a decrease Of
l450. O00 bales instead Of 100000 and to-
tai decrease of 10000 bales instead OF
10000 bales.
Bnsed on Equally Coed Seasons.
All this is based upon the idea of all the
conditions of crop and Yield being ana con
tinuing good the coming year as they have
been the year we are just leaving, and which
was the best for thirty years after the plant
had fairly started. The crop Of 1S90-91, which

''has not studied the question" or he has
been retained by some great corporation.
The number who gave me the last reason is
significant as showing where much OF the
income of these corporations goes, for ia
nous lawyers are not cheap.
Almost everyone who would talk at all
referred me to the great and famous argu-
ment made by Daniel Webster in defense
of the charter of Dartmouth College when
that was assailed. Everybody is supposed
to know that that particular speech was the
masterpiece for the inviolability of chartered
rights The general opinion of precedent
loving lawyers-and lawyers do love prece-
dentists that Webster's position, taken in
that speech, is impregAable.
There are, however, mad y lawyers who
do not agree with this idea / could quote
manv names if it were necessary. Their
opinion is about as follows: A corporation
is body formed by the Legislature of the
State. As such it is distinctly responsible
to the authorities of the State for its uses
of the powers delegated to it in Its charter
1t can be called upon at any time by the
Legislature which created 1t for fuil
account of all that it has done, and II 1t
refuses, or if the account is unsatisfactory
as showing a misuse of its powers, the
Legislature has full power to revoke the
charter.
The foremost criticism directed against
the institutions mentioned is that they
have never made full report of their acts,
and that the reports they have made are
misleading as well as incomplete.

-[SpeeiaL ACTOR George s. Dayle, of the
Howard Theatrical Company, has just
fallen heir to neat little legacy of SIC, ,0OO
His good looks are responsible for his good
fortune, for the money comes from lady
who admired him and wanted to marry him.
Dayle was playing with his troupe at

She had been noticed at the house every
evening, and occupied one of the boxes.
Finally she wrote letter to Dayle land

She admired and loved him, she said, and
could bring him her fortune as well as her
admiration.
Unfortunately for her the actor was
already married, having welded Miss Hat

child. He is now widower, but had
heard nothing more of the woman from
Troy till short time ago, when he received
word of her death and OF the fact that she

with the frequency with which catarrh, &C.

STOPPED WHEN LINCOLN Did.
Story of a Remarkable Clock Which Has
Been Running Forty Years

Story of Remarkable Clock Which Has
Been Running Forty Years
CcoRRFsPoNpENoE OF THE DIsPArcH.l
NEW YORK, July S-Probably not one
in thousand of the multitude who daily
look up to Tifany's big clock on the front
of their massive fre-proof building on
Union Square, New York, and set their
pocket time pieces to correspond, has any
idea of its interesting history, and that 1T
became famous at the time of President
Lincoln's assassination, when its hands
stoned at the verv hour of his death.
In talk with Mr. Tiffany. the well-pre-
served octosenarian and active head of the
house, the writer learned that the clock
was constructed for the firm long before the
war, in fact nearly 40 years ago, when the
firm was vet in its infancy. 1t was when
the building which still stands was erected
ON that site that the famous clock was first
put I'D. 1t is mounted on q wooden hgure
of herculean proportions, representing Atlas
unfolding the world upon his shoulders.
1t was carved by a well-known firm of
American shipbuilders, who at that time
became renowned for their superior model
ing of figures and fgure-heads, such as were
used in ornamenting the bows OF vessels
The figure itself stands nearly nine feet
high. while the circular space behind the
dial of the clock above, the figure, ia almost
large enough for the man who cleans the
dial to stand up erect inside.
1t was while at $50 Broadway that, by
strange coincidence, it recorded one OF the
saddest events of the history ofthe country;
for, without warning, and without any ap-
parent cause, the hands stopped at the hour
of President Lincoln's death, 7:22 on the
moruinp of April Is. 1865.
After the firm became settled in their
handsome new building on Union square,
over 20 years ago, the clock was mounted in
its present position, where it continues to
mark the time of day, after 40'years of ser
vice, almost as accurately as the chronome-
ter in the watch department on the ground
floor.
The clock stands on the second floor of the
building, fitted into the center window on
the outside. The works were made in the
frA's own clock shop, and are not behind the
dian as sapposed, but in glass case on the
foob above, and are so constructed that
several clocks can be run in different parts
of the building all by this same movement
Altogether it is a unique piece of mechan-

ROUTING AN ARMY.

How the Worst Invasion OF Modern Times
Is Absolutely Overcome-Hints of Great
Value.
When men or women feel depressed or
debilitated at the present day, it is common
to say, ~ think have malaria" What is
malariai 1t is only germs that get into the
body; germs that thrive and increase unless
they are killed; germs that worm themselves
all through the system; germn that ruin the
health and undermine the life. They are
aggressive, they feed upon the body, they
must be killed. Many things which have
been advocated for killing these germs will
not do so. 1t has been thought that quinipe
would accomplish this, but many people
cannot take Quinine; it disagrees with them,
it often nauseates. 1t is known, however,
that pure spirits taken in moderation will
of germs which ever invaded the system.
They cannot Withstand it. Under the in
fluence of pure stimulants the germs are
killed. and the body is strengthened to ex-
pei them from the system, and thus restore
the health.
1t should not be understood, however, that
all spirits will do this, few will. 1t requires
something specially pure, and specially de-
signed for this purpose, and that is precisely
what Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky is. 1t is a
not rank with the ordinary whiskies, but is
specially designed for fortifying the body
and repelling disease. 1t has the highest
endorsements of doctors and scientists; it is
wonderfully popular because it Is SO efficient
and powerful. Do not be deceived into the
use of any other. for there is no other prepa-
ration upon the market that can accomplish
what is accomplished by Duny's Pure Malt.
You will find that it is kept by reliable drug
gists and grocers.

From Montana comes the glad tidings
that Mrs. Potter Palmer's nail is completed
and is now on exhibition. This nail is to

Building at Chicgao, and is to be driven by
Mrs. Palmer herself The metals used in
its construction are gold, silver and copper.
1t is arranged as brooch, in the shape OF

back of the pin.
Both nail and brooch will be presented to
Mrs. Palmer, who will doubtless value
highly the interesting souvenir of one of
the proudest moments of her life. The
dashing gem at the top of the shield is a

but little inferior to that recently pur-
