EGYPTIAN COTTON.
Formidable Competitor to the South
ern Growth in Our Own MARKETS..

Formidable Competitor to the South
ern Growth In Our Own Markets.
WASHINGTON. June &C. 1894.-Frederic c.
Penfeld, TIE Agent and Consul General of
the United States at Cairo, writes to the
State Department that while shipping cotton
from Egypt to the United States seems like
carrying Goals to Newcastle the statistical
record of commerce between the two coun-
tries gives sufficiently distinct affirmation
to make the political economist recognize in
Egypt a country that is aggressiyely
competing with US in a small way, not only
in the markets of Europe, but at home, in
supplying raw cotton. The consumption of
Egyptian cotton by the spindles of the New
England States. has grown from nothing ten
wear ago to more than forty thousand large
bales corresponding in weight to 60,O00
American bales and approximately valued
at S., ,000 900.
Nearly all the cotton sent from Egypt is
consigned to Boston commission agents and
sold to New England mills. Those inter
ested in the trade assert that the use of this
cotton is in no sense inimical to home inter
ests for, with its staple of from an inch to
an inch and half in length, the Egyptian
cotton Is employed In the making of sewing
threads and goods requiring silky or lus-
trous finish. for which American cotton is
unsuited 1t is claimed, also, that the home
grown article is extensively mixed with the
imported and thereby utilized in ways that
would be impossible without this foreign
staple as a basis.
Egyptian cotton is packed in compressed
bales weighing from 7G0' to $50 pounds or
nearly so per cent. more than American
bales, and is sold by net weight. Absence
of direct steam communication with the
United States makes transhipment in Eng
land necessary. and the present freight
a 1.ia to ici he
neighborhood of S3.S7 per ton of 40 cubic
feet, say for two bales. For some reason
not obvious the freight to New York is 30
cents per ton more than to Boston.

JERSEY WANTS THR CONVENTION
Christian EadeavoreFs May Flock To
AsDury Next Year.

The New Jersey branches of the Young
Peoples Society of Christian Endeavor are
making strenuous efforts to induce the Trus-
tees of the United States body to hold the
international convention in 1896 at Ocean
Grove. Conventions have been held at
Saratoga. Philadelphia, Chicago, New York
and Montreal. This year the meeting will
be in Cleveland and in 1895 in San Fran
cisco. Mr.. Young said that the convention
would come East again in 1896, and at no
time had it been held directly on
the seashore. This fact, with the ex-
cellent facilities of Ocean Grove and
Asbury Park for accommodating the
thousands of delegates would give New Jer,
sey good show for this convention. The
State officers will extend formal invita-
tion to the trustees, and special delegation
consisting of State President Rev. j. Judson
Pierson Of Bridgeton, Vice Presidents Rev.
Frank B. Everitt of Trenton, and Rev. j.
Clement French, d. D., of Newark and
Rev S. Edward Young, representing the
Essex Union. will present the invitation in
person at the Cleveland meeting.

JUDGE PHELPS SEAT.
Vice Chancellor Green to Serve
on the Court Of Errors
Bench Also.
Special to the Jersey City Ns1cs.

TRENTON, June 26, 1S94.-Considerable ex-
citement was occasioned at the State House
this morning. when it was learned that Gov
ernor Werts had appointed Vice Chancellor
Robert Stockton Green to the seat on the
bench of the Court Of Errors and Appeals
made vacant by the death of William Wal
ter Phelps Everybody wanted to know
what it meant, and thought there must be
some great political move behind the appoint
ment. 1t was generally believed that Judge
Green could not sit in both the Chancery
Court and the Court of Appeals. 1t trans
pired, however, that the Ex-Governor would
not have to leave the Chancery bench, and
that the Governor had appointed him in
order to give the Equity Court better rep
resentation In the highest tribunal of the
State. Vice Chancellor Dodd held both
places. Judge Green was sworn in this morn
and took his seat on the bench.

ONE OF THE WORST JUSTICES.

William Il. Wilson Convicted of
Enbezzlemena this Time.
William E. Wilson, Justice Of the Peace,
was convicted of embezzlement yesterday
in the Court of General Sessions. Some
months ago Robert Reilly of No. 13 Perrine
avenue sold milk route to Mary Conboy
and in part payment took a chattel mort
gage for s400. This mortgage Reilly handed
to Wilson to collect, and to him Mrs Con-
boy paid 800. OF this amount Wilson paid
Reilly $65 cash and gave him a check for
$35. The check was thrown out by the
Hudson County National Bank, there being
no funds to meet it.
Several demands were made by Reilly for
the $35, but it was not paid.
Wilson's defence was that he only gave
Reilly the check at the latter's solicitation
and that Reilly told him that if he would
date the check ahead he could use it. Wilson
told Reilly at the time of giving the check
he had no funds in the bank, but he thought
he could meet the check if dated several
days ahead.
Wilson has been convicted of four charges
of extortion during the present term of
court

THIRTEENTH STREET OPENING.

Chief Engineer Ruggles' Plan for
Crossing the Junction Railroad.
Chief Engineer w. w. Ruggles has fled
with the Street and Water Board plan for
the proposed viaduct over the New Jersey
Junction Railroad tracks at Thirteenth
street. The projectors OF the scheme to have
Thirteenth street opened to the Hill have
not abandoned hope. The cost of the via
duct is estimated at $4,000. This is the
most expensive part of the work. The fl
ling in that will be necessary will not cost
more than $4,000 it is believed. The under
taking is big one, and before definite ac-
tion is taken the Street and Water Commits
sioners Withhold a consultation with the
property owners upon whom the assessment
for the improvement will be levied Should
it be decided to proceed with the work, a
large territory viii be opened up for bnsi-
ness purposes. ~

EXPGOT THE BEST,

One of the surest ways of getting person
to show out his best side, either in spirit or
in work, is to expect it, The employe who
has an impression that his employer thinks
him good for nothing, the child who feels
himself treated as though he had no right
motives except those that are pounded into
him, is not likely to show himself at his best
in aspiration or energy. Many an unruly
scholar can be easily tanned by showing
faith in him, and every one can be made
better by drawing more surely than by driy-
ing-S. s. Times.

Special to tho jersey Clty N61us
TRENTON, June 90, 1S94-Alden Fales is
the youngest murderer in the State Prison,
and the youngest boy in the United States
serving life sentence.
Alden Fales, the petted prisoner at the
Newark JAIL and Alden Fales, the life con-
vict at Trenton. seem to be very much the
same, after all. According to the statements
of those who have seen the young murderer
since he entered State Prison, he maintains
the same apparent Indifference to his fate
the same hstleess, passionless resignation to
what is plainly the Inevitable.
But more goes on III the young mans
head than he tells Of, aud every once in q
while he startles those about him with
curious, thoughtful remarks, showing
that all the time he is pondering over the
problem which is commonly called life. Not
long ago FaleS wrote a poem. The verses
halt in many places, and their general con-
struction is hackneyed. As poet Fales is
not success, but the keenness of his think
ing few will question after reading the
lines They lay bare one new feature Of the
strange young mans nature-his power to
realize to a certain extent his condition. He
plainly recognizes personal discomfort, be it
mental or physical, but there is little reason
as vet to believe that he appreciates suffer-
ing of any kind when he himself does not
experience it.
Fales calls his poem ''The Lost Soul, and
it runs as follows:-
Ny soul was lost in darkness gloomy,
And searchPd for It, / knew not where.
The awful truth has burst upQR me
A heart w4uhout a sopI-despairl
Despair, desp air, Oh would never,
For surely-f'd not search in vain:
