The Cotton Crop.

Millions Of dollars are lost each year from
the inability of the planters to harvest it.
Col. A. L. Ellis of Austin, Texas, a few
years since had 1000 acres of cotton, white
as snowbank with its fibrous burden,
ploughed under. unable to hire labor 10
1ave cotton which if in the bale would
have brought $4,000. The vexatious ex-
periences of the cotton planters in the
picking season are innumerable
Monday is spent hustling around the
nearest town hiring some influential uncle
or aunty to assist in securing cotton pick
ers. If lucky, his gang commence work
on Tuesday, and barring rain, show, a
strike for higher wages, holiday, we'd
ding, dance, a cake walk, a funeral or
some other entertainment, he keeps them
at work until Friday night, when the team
must be furnished to haul them back TO
town. for the combined wealth of Gould
and Vanderbilt would scarcely tempt the
average dusky cotton picker to work on
Saturday.
1t is little wonder that the Southern
planter who has seen it at work should
hail with enthusiasm the advent of the
successful Cotton Picker, which he has
dreamed of and classed with the flying ma
chine as something beyond the ingenuity
or this generation, and which no evidence
would convince that it existed except the
sight OF it practically picking cotton in the
field.
The machine IS the invention Of Angus
Campbell, born in Hamilton, Ontario, now
resident of Waco, Texas. He conceived
the machine seven years ago, and has per-
sistently and constantly labored since to
develop it, until now it does its work as
do all labor saying machines, better than
by hand, gathers larger per cent. from
the plant, and cleaner sample, freer from
trash and dirt, gathers that which is ripe
and only that which is ripe, leaving the
blossoms and nnripe fruit uniniured to
ripen for a later picking. doing its work
with all the ease and certainty that the har-
yester binds wheat, the moving machine
cuts grass, or the sewing machine makes
seam, and is as simple as either of them.
The interests involved are so great that the
results OF the use of these machines, when
reduced to figures, bewilders the brain.
II IS expected to save $50, 1000, 600 annually
In harvesting the cotton crop, sum SO
great That the mere mention of it tends to
create doubt and make it more difficult to
raise money to manufacture machines, of
Whcn S0,000 are needed for the next crop;
Dut the doubts are disappearing like the
mlsts before the morning sun. The truth
is mighty and will prevail, and the evil
dence that the Lone Star Cotton Picker is
a success is direct, positive and incontro-
vertible.
A full size machine, direct from the
cotton field, is now at the office of tbe
Company, 81 Milk ST., Boston, where all
are invited to witness its working.

THE FoREPAUGH CIRCUS.
The Number of Persons Visiting the Sho,
Estimated ut II 900.

Fssttmhted At ,OOU.
The Adam Forepaugh circus performed
Its engagement here Monday by giving
two entertainments, afternoon and even
ing. The afternoon exhibition was at
tended by large audience, which is
closely estimated by the circus managers
to have numbered 5000 people In the
evening rain prevented large attendance,
but the number of visitors is estimated at
5000. making the total number for the day
1000.
At the afternoons performance, Miss
Emily Beaumont, one of the riders in the
ladies' race was thrown from her horse by
the animal falling upon her. She escaped
injury, remounted her horse and rode
away amid the hearty applause of the
audience. In the double race one of the
riders fell from his horse and was dragged
some distance without injury. In the
pony race, clown representing police
man. was overturned in his wagon but I'M
injured.
AT the evening performance the ''Fall of
Nineveh' came first on the programme to
enable the scenery and costumes to be
packed away and taken to the p, w. e B.
depot. After the show, departure was
George Green. aged IT years, who had
candy stand with the circus, was severely
burned about the hands in the evening by
the explosion of gasolene lamp. His
hair was also singed and his eyebrows
burned off. He found temporary relief
at the drug store of John J. Gallagher &
brother, and was subsequently taken to
the Homeopathic Hospital.
Charles Bowers, another employee of the
circus. had his leg badly injured at Third
and Railroad avenue while loading cars.
He was taken to the Delaware Hospital.
The high wind in the evening did very
little damage to the canvas of the circus,
further than cause the employees to watch
the lines carefully and be ready for any
emergency.
