From the Montgomery (Ala) ADVERTISER
On the Sth day OF January last, a cot
ton convention was called at Memphis,
Tenn, under the auspices of the Mis-
sissippi Valley Cotton Growers Asso-
citation, Hon. Ira Holloway. president.
This convention was called at my
suggestion, in conjunction with that Of
the commissioners of several other of
the cotton growing States. for the pur-
pose of organizing a cooperative effort
toward the reduction of the acreage Of
cotton. Its results were eminently sat
isfaotory TO those who engaged in it;
and whether it was the direct cause or
not, an average reduction of about 20
per cent. acreage followed. This re-
duction in acreage supplemented by an
unprOpltlOus season caused /: material
decrease in proc uction. This decrease
in production unquestionably causing
the increase in cotton values that fol-
lowed.
| conceive that the importance, OF
this movement to reduce the acreage of
cotton is only equaled by its immensitv.
and, as with all our shortcomings. the
Southerner has never been accused Of a
lack of patriotism or resolution. and as
We love our country it behooveS u, to
set our faces resolutely against the in
crease of acreage and the ovcrproduc
tion Of cotton that is obliged to follow
the ensuing year

this matter can only be accomplished

And | shall undertake. by the presen-
tation of facts, supported by figures, to

is causing the falling OF, in values 10

STORM SURVIVORS STARVING
The Marshes, Full of Dead Bodies, Threat

en to pfii c t thRue.
 NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 9.-The news from every section stricken by the storm makes 1t safe to estimate the loss of life at fully 9,000, while millions of dollars worth of property was destroyed Besides that, thousands of people have been deprived of the means of making a livelihood. The situation is appalling, but New Orleans is doing all 1t can to relieve the thousands in want Dr. Story, coroner of Plaquemine parish, has made the following report:
 "A good many carloads of provisions and clothing have been sent, but not enough. Men, women and children are without food and clothing. They have become so desperate that they have threatened to att tack the stores and steal food. 1t Is 6 ire quent thing to see little sufferers crying and begging piteously for something to eat. Single graves for the dead were impossible. Great trenches were dug and the bodies were piled in one on top of the other
 ''The earth was thrown over them, and If their names were ascertained they were cut in the rude crosses above the graves. I believe firmly that the marshes and other places are filled with human forms. It is impossible to get at these, however, as no one is adventurous enough to explore the swamps. There can be no doubt of the fact that this is conducive to an epidemic of fever or even cholera. If one case of the latter disease should develop, 1t would ,pread through the country like wildfre, but nothing can be done to prevent this"
 The relief party which set out from Bill lod tells an awful story of the destitution and loss of life in the Louisiana marshes. The marshes are filled with dead and pu- srefying bodies, in very few cases the ,orpses being recognizable. The number of lives lost on these marshes will never be known. The territory covered was a dis lance of 200 miles.

French Imitation Pearls.

The best grade of French imitation pearls cannot be distinguished from real ones, even by the most expert jewellers, unless the string is handled, when the difference in weight becomes apparent, the real pearl being heavier than an imi- tation one.
 An American lady who herself owned valuable jewels once told me that she and her husband were shown on one oc- casion by her Parisian jeweler cluster of strings of pearls, half of which were real and the other half imitation, and they were requested to point out the real ones. They both inspected the pearls long and with the most minute care, and finally indicated their choice. The gentleman had indeed fixed upon 8 string of genuine ones, but the lady, though she continually wore and had had in her possession for years mag nifcent necklace of real pearls, forfeited her claim for discrimination by picking out one of the imitation ones.
 The very finest of the French imita- tion pearls are expensive, costing from $1O to $15 string. Oddly enough, the longer they are kept the better they be- come, as the passage of years lends 8 yellow tinge to the wax, which causes the pearls to look at once more lustrous and more real. The pearls prepared for embroideries, dress trimmings, etc., are merely small beads filled with wax and lack the careful shaping, as well as the inner coating of fish scale liquid that make the pearls manufactured for neck laces and earrings so perfectly deceptive.

Fashion,s Gold Tipped Shoes.

In this year of 1898 gold, yellow, shin ing, heartless metal, mother of murders and temptress to terrible privations, the yellow root of red evil, holds sway. In the silver age we had combs and brush and other stuff gleaming with the paler metal. It wasn't rich enough for the blood of New York. Gold has not dis placed 1t here in the metropolis, but tri- umphantly faunts itself above it.
 A little time ago the satin slipper with silver filagree toe and heel tip was quite good enough for any one. But 1t only cost from $20 to $40. Society insisted on something more expensive, and now New York's swell set rest satisfied as they poke their gold tipped toes from beneath Worth afternoon creations. The gold tipped shoes are only for house wear. You don't see 'em on Broadway. Their use is to make poor callers envi- ous, than which there can be no greater happiness.
 This is but one instance. The men are as bad or worse, for pair of gold tipped shoes at $150 are at least visible, and 8 pair of $75 gold suspender buckles haven't even that merit The only use for them is to show that one can stand the pace.
 The extravaganza of wealthy people in small personal expenditures has grown out of all proportion. Trifles and trink- cts cost fortunes, good pictures by Amer. ican artists go begging, and authors oi good books trim their cuffs.-New York Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch.

A SUSPECTED CHOLERA SHIP.
A Steamer From Hamburg Reports Five Deaths and Is Detained.

Deaths and Is Detained.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The steamship Rus ha, from Hamburg, now detained at quar- Antine, reported five deaths during the voy- age. Two of the dead were cabin passen- gers and three were in the steerage. The deaths were all said to have been due to natural causes, but Dr. Jenkins decided to ietain the vessel, disinfect the baggage and take every precaution against cholera
 The ship belongs to the Hamburg Ameri- can Packet company. She left Hamburg Sept. 24 with clean bill of health, signed by Dr. White of the United States Marine hospital service, who Is stationed at that port to see that steerage passengers are quarantined five days and their baggage disinfected before they embark for this country.
 A boy named Charles Stubbe, who is convalescent, was taken to Swinburne is- land, and his father and mother were taken along as suspects. This particular family Is regarded with suspicion, as of Ave mem bers three have been sick and two died on the voyage. They state that they were In quarantine in Hamburg and that all arti- cles of food which they brought with them were taken away from them. .r
 Dr. Jenkins said that he would not ex- press any opinion as to the cause of death of the passengers who died on the Russia until biological examination had been made.
 No apprehension is felt here in regard to the danger of cholera getting in, even should the cases on the Russia prove to have been due to that disease. The ship lies at anchor of the upper boarding sta

QUEEN OF THE OCEAN.
| The New Cunarder Luoanis smsshos the Ocean Reoords. a

ocean kteeoruh~
 NEW YORK, Oct. 7.--The ocean steam ship record has been lowered again. Last night, few minutes after 10 o'clock, the giant Lucania sped swiftly through the rain and fog covered seas and dropped anchor outside the bar with the proud con sciousness that she had wrested from the Paris the palm so long held by her. To the wonderful triumph of her maiden rec- ord just month ago she has now added the victory of more matured age, and stands today without a peer in the list of ocean fiiers.
 She has made the best maiden record ever made; she has made the biggest 24 hours run ever made; she has made the best westward record; and she has proba- bly made the best average speed ever made.
 The present voyage took her just days, IS hours and go minutes. This Is b9 min utes faster than the best westward trip of the Paris, made in October of last year. The fastest run for 24 hours ever before made was achieved by the Lucania on her maiden trip. It was 54s miles, and unless she herself increased the distance on this trip it remains the record. Her average speed on her maiden trip was 20. 50 knots, while the best average of the Paris was t"

closed her eyes.
 Suddenly she escaped from her im- prisonment and noticed that his eyes were fixed upon the brilliant diamond she wore upon her little finger.
 Do you want pledge of pardon for your boldness," she said; 'here it is." And putting her whole soul into last, playful smile she added: "It is talis- man that will aid you in returning to the right path, my dear brigand. Re- member that should prefer to see you dead rather than unfaithful or felon."
 At these words, lightly uttered, the masked man showed extraordinary emo tion. Then, with reverence this time, he kissed the lady's hand and disap- peared.
 When she entered the house, she found the duke and Dom Maroufot at the chess table. The duke was so absorbed that he did not even turn his head as she came into the room. She thought that really she was in the presence of consummate actor.
 She leaned over his shoulder as he was moving a knight and suddenly turned pale-the duke had no ring on his fingeri
 The poor marquise passed restless night.
 Toward morning she had scarcely closed her eyes when she was awakened by the sound of gunshots, followed by the noise of galloping horses.
 The duke at the head of his dragons was returning to the chateau. He had aighted and was taking off his pistols when the marquise appeared.
 ''It's all over," he called out to her. "I brought down Gillou with single shot. We had hardly got outside the park gate before the idiot came to us. He threw himself between our horses legs, so to speak. And for fear that I might not recognize him he cried out: I am Gilloui Kill mel
 "He kneeled down 10 steps from me. When he saw me aim my pistol at him, he raised his hand in the air and held up something brilliant; then he cried out again, but don't know what he said, for the report of my pistol drowned his voice.
 "He fell, and one of my men picked up the brilliant thing he held in his hand. If you want it, here it is. 1t shall be your part of the booty. But there is 8 little blood on it."
 The duke handed beautiful diamond to the marquise. Recognizing her ring, she turned deathly pale, and suddenly she read clearly in her heart. She had never loved the duke, and now she de- tested him.-From the French.
