A Circulating,,Letter.
IIarper's Young People;


Here is a good suggestion for
the girls. 1t relates to an ingenious
scheme devised by a class of young
ladies at school together a few
years ago, One Of them, an English
girl, thus explains it.
"There were nine of us in the
class, and we were all promising to
write to each other continually,
but in our hearts we knew that
such correspondence could not
be kept up. Finally one Of the
girls suggested circulating letter,
and the idea pleased US all.
"At the expiration of one month
from the time we parted the first
girl wrote letter telling what sh e
had been doing and everything
about herself which would be like
ly to interest the others. This let
ter was sent to the second girl, who
after reading it, wrote her own let,
ter and sent the two to the third
girl.
"The third, fourth and fifth and
all the others in turn, added their
letters until the ninth on the list
sent them all to the first. Then the
circuit was complete, and we had
the circulation letters fairly under
way.
"Now, of course, the envelope al
ways contains nine letters, and
each girl when it comes to her,
takes out her own letter, writes a
new one telling what she has been
doing in the meantime, and starts
it on its travels again.
"YOu can have no idea how in
teresting it is to receive the letters
and how anXiOusly we all await
their arrival when our turn comes.
We have kept it up for nearly four
years, and each time the letters
come round the pleasure of reading
what all the girls have to say
| seems to increase"

Money Out of the Fight.
Philadelphia Times.
Now that the fight between Cor
bett and Mitchell is over and all
the sporting men have left town
the magnates Of the Duval Athletic
club are busy trying to find out how
they stand. Although the fight
was one of the most shamefully
mismanaged ones ever held the
public interest in 1t was so great
that Messrs. Bowden, Mason and
Nendig will probably get out with
whole pockets, even If they have
lost the confidence and respect of
the entire sporting world.
1t depends considerably on what
the lawyers fees will be before it
can be determined how the Duval
Athletic association came out in
it's venture.
The club took in SD, 600 at the
gate and 81 900 was subscribed by
the hotels, railroads and people.
The expenses of the club were as
follows: Purse, $4,000; training
expenses for the principals, $1,000 ;
building the arena, $1,000; Incl
dentals $1,000; incidentaIS, 1000
total, $4,000; balance on hand,
$1,000.
The livery stables, saloons,
hotels, railroads, restaurants and
Western Union made considerable
out OF the great event.
The hackmen carried | 800 people
out to the grounds and back again
at all sorts of prices for the round
trip. That's $1,000 for them alone,
The hotels got all the way from
$4,000 to $4,000; the saloons got
fully $4,000 and the restaurants
$1,000; $4,000 more was spent for
rooms at the apartment houses
and the boarding houses. and
about 5000 for incidentals. The
total expenditure in the city was
somewhere from 100000 to $4,000,
outside Of the $4,000, which
the club took in for tickets
to the arena, which swells the
total to over 100000.

TRADE TOPICS.
Bradstreet's Report of Business for
the Past Week.

Bradstreet's Report of Business for
the Past Week.
Bradstreet's review of business for
the past week says:
"Interest in the elections this week
naturally tended to restrict the volume
of trade, particularly south, where it
interfered with mercantile collections.
But within a few days the influence of
more seasonable weather west and
northwest, together with the emphasis
with which political questions have
been settled, have increased the conf
dence of many merchants and manu-
facturers in prospect for an increased
rate of improvement in general trade
in the near future.
philadelphia and Pittsburg mar
kets continue as last reported, move
ments of merchandise being moderate
in volume: collections not satisfactory,
but prospects fairly bright. Demand
for lumber and leather forms an ex-
ception; being more active. Baltimore
reports less satisfactory trade, pollti-
cal excitement there having interrupt
ed business more than at large eastern
cities. The distribution of shoes APP
pears as active as that of any other
staple, business in other lines, except
holiday goods, being quiet.
Charleston lumbermen report a
fair business, but in other lines there
is no change. Similar conditions pre-
vail at Memphis, but at Nashville there
is more activity in general lines, nota-
bly, in receipts OF California canned
goods. The only material effect of the
election excitement on business is de-
layed collections. There is a seasonal
BILE activity in general lines at Atlanta.
At Chattanooga and Birmingham rath-
er more activity is observed in bust
ness circles, while collections were
fairly satisfactory. Wholesale and re.
tail houses at Jacksonville report trade
fairly satisfactory for the season, but
at Savannah there is no special change,
except that collections are satisfactory.
Augustus report is similar, except as
to collections, which are slow. AT
New Orleans rather more of a check to
business is noted, due to interest in
the elections, but increased activity is
expected soon. At Galveston trade is
dull in all lines"

NEW STATES IN THE SENATE.
Utah, New Mexico and Arizona Leave
Its Complexion in Doubt.

A point that has been overlooked in
computing the complexion of the next
senate is the admission of Utah with
two United States senator's. The act
of the last session of congress admit
ting Utah, provides that in March,
1895, the constitutional convention
shall be held. On the first Tuesday
after the first Monday in November of
that year the constitution is to be sub
mitted to the people, and if ratified
and found by the president to be in &C
cordance with the act, he will issue
proclamation admitting Utah as state.
The act also provides that a repre-
sentative to the 54th congress shall be
elected at the same time the vote is
taken upon the constitution; also that
state officers and Legislature shall be
chosen, and that if the constitution is
ratified the legislature shall immedi-
ately. meet and elect two United States
senators.
As there is about month from the
time the election is held until the 54th
congress there will be ample time to
have all the formalities complied with
and Utah proclaimed state in time
for its senators and representatives to
participate in the organization of the
next congress. This would mike in
all ninety senators. As the next SEN
ate now stands the politics of the Utah
senators would cut an important fig
ure, Another probability which arises
is the admission of both New Mexico
and Arizona, which may be accom-
plished in time, so that four more SEN
ators would participate in the organi-
cation of the next senate.
1t is, therefore, quite likely that the
battle for the control of the senate will
yet be fought out in Utah, New Mexi-
co and Arizona next year.

The American Agriculturist re-
marks: ''The city of Buffalo has
passed an ordinance prohibiting ped
dlers from selling their wares before
one o'clock in the afternoon, and the
husksters are waging a vigorous fight
against this unconstitutional invasion
of their rights. 1t is the same type
of municipal legislation which has so
often been attempted in prohibiting
farmers from vending their wares in
a city or town without paying a Ii
cense fee. Such class legislation is
wrong, opposed to the spirit of a re-
publican form of government and is
no doubt unconstitutional"

The Kolbite convention assembled at

with Governor Jones, because they did
not expect to get through in day.
The morning session was taken up by

ed ballot box stuffing and frauds in
elections and scored the democratic
party generally. At the afternoon
session a resolution was adopted de-

fight, others to establish Legislature

COTTON ESTIMATES.
The Exchanges Furnish Figures Re
garding the Output.

The estimate of the cotton crop
made by prominent operators on the
exchange at Savannah vary from 81
$50, 900 to 8, 463, 900 bales, the MAORI
ty putting it at about 8, 250,00O. 1t is
estimated generally that the crop of
Georgia will be per cent increased
on last year or 1900, 900 bales.
AUGUSTUS REPORT.
Averaging the opinions of promi-
nent cotton men, the estimate of the
trade in Augusta is that the cotton
crop for this year will be between
$3.50, 900 and $500, 900 bales.
ESTIMATE OF GEoRGIA's CROP.
A Columbus dispatch says; The
general estimate of the entire cotton
crop of Georgia is not over 900, 900
bales. 1t has been rapidly marketed,
and in the territory tributary to Co.
lumbus the receipts have been heavy,
but the total receipts will show fall
ing off, as considerable cotton has
been left in the fields. It is estimated
now that the total receipts for Colum-
bus will approximate only $4,000
bales.
FROM WILMINGTON, N. O.
The produce exchange at Whining
ton, N. c., makes no official estimate
of the cotton crop, but individual es-
Inmates of the cotton men vary from
9,25O,0OO to 100000 bales. 1t is
also estimated that about two-thirds
of the cotton in that territory has been
marketed, Receipts to date are 121,
233 bales, which is about $4,000 bales
ahead of last year.
