''No, madam, you cannot" was the

who had applied for admission stood by
her, with Colorado determination, and

CLEVELAND ABADPLACE
PamIico Sound One of the Most Dangerous
Localities on the Coast.


WASHINGTON, March A. = Genuine
alarm is felt in Washington on the presi-
dents account. Pamlico sound, upon
which he is pursuing his hunt, is regard
ed as the most dangerous sheet of water
along the coast between the Gulf of St
Lawrence and Key West. and at this sea-
son of the year it is at its worst. Sudden
squalls and storms of great violence
make the sound terror.
Pamlico sound is about 1875 miles long
and twenty five to fifty miles wide. It's
shores are exceedingly irregular, with
innumerable inlets.
1t is shallow body of water. and much
warmer than the body of the ocean, from
which it is separated by strip of sand
ranging in width from half dozen miles
to a hundred feet This difference in
temperature in the neigh boring bodies of
water is given as one of the reasons for
the sudden storm bursts.
The life savlng crews along both
shores of Pamlico sound are taking ex-
traordinary precautions for the presi-
dents safety, but these crews are widely
separated, and despite all they can do the
Violet and all on board might be lost
for forty-eight hours without the fact
being known.

PAJAMAS AND NIGHTROBEs

Changes Inaugurated by the Young Wom-

The young woman of the period wears
pajamas. They are of silk or fine fan
mel, as her taste and her purse may di-
rect. Sometimes they are of solid coiors,
but more often of striped material. They
are very different from the voluminous
white CONNECTION she has been in the
habit of wearing, and even in the mere
color they are distinctly less charming

of the old school claimed to be the first
requisite of gentlewoman' S wardrobe.
But, then, that saying originated before
the days Of the gentlemanly girl
The young woman whose daring
ceases before she reaches pajamas, but
who has longings for something else
than frills and furbelows, compromises
on shapeless sacklike concern pat
termed after mans nightshirt. She
tries to delude herself into the belief
that the straight collar band is ''neater"
than the old time ruf1e opening over V.
she tries to think that she prefers plaits
down the front of her garments to ja-
bots, and that tiny studs fastening her
nightdress are more to her mind than
ribbon bows. Perhaps she succeeds. But
she will surely never succeed in bring
ing an impartial world around to her
way of thinking.

PROFITS ON COTTON.

The New York Journal Of G mmerce
estimates the cost Of last years crop st
$3.50, 971 034 aud the cost Of the present
crop at only $204, lab 800 If the crop
runs to 2, 500, 600 bales aud sells for only
s cents pound it will bring $500. 000,-
900, making gross profit of 800, 1885,
$50 and net profit Of over 5000, 600.
The Journal OF Commerce finds in
these figures the following impressive
moral:
"W hatever variations future develop
ments may make in the items used in
this computation, it is nearly certain
that the crop of the current year will
bring in no less money than the hinge
crop of last year, and will probably
bring in more; that it will cost more
than SO GEO, 900 less than the last crop,
and that instead of barely covering the
cost of production there will be q COM
Portable profit for the planters. The
lesson to the South is to raise no more
cotton than there is a good market for,
and, incidentally, to raise its own corn
and pork Instead of buying them out of
the proceeds of the cotton sales system
which tempts each planter to raise more
cotton in order to meet his bill at the
factors"
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1895-10-02

This shows steady advance. There
have been few slight reactions. The
value We give does not show the price
of cotton every day. Several times,
after reaching higher figure, the price
has reacted and gone down and remain
cd down for few days, but these re.
actions have been comparatively few and
more or less weak, and Of short dura
ton, The tendency has been pronoun-
cedlg upward. 1t is difficult to remem-
Ger any similar movement Of recent
years when cotton has advanced so
steadily and 80 rapidly. It has improved
9-18 cents, or rs per cent from its
lowest point and 1 Is 10 cents since the
new crop fret began to be heard from on
August /. In less than two months cot
ton he's improved 2s6 per cent, or near
ly one third, increasing the value Of
each bale neraly $40.
This will mean much to the Southern
farmer. A $3.50, 600 bale crop at 12
cents will yield gross far more than a
10000, 00O-bale crop at 5 cents-some
$40, 100000 more as matter of fact
and the net profit viii be even greater,
for the cost of production, of picking,
baling and marketing it will all be re-
duced. The present crop ought to be
worth some $75, 900, 900 more to the
farmers than the last one if they succeed
in getting the present good prices, and
there is every indication that they will
do so.
He etofore the farmers have secured
bat little OF the baneft from an advance
in cotton II has usually been 50 me-
nipalated as to come after they had
parted with th.ir cotton and it had
passed into the hands of buyers or spec
MAJORS. This year, however, the ad
vance has come early in the season and
before the farmers have sold mach of
their crop; and they ought to get the
full benefit Of the higher prices
The South generally win be glad to
hear that they have. It's farmers have
suffered a great deal already, have had
to economic and cut down to tbs lowest
possible figure. They have fought on
with spirit and energy worthy Of the
greatest praise. They have reduced their
acreage, cheapened production, worked
harder and shown spirit worthy of sue
cess. A good price for their cotton this
year will save many of them from ruin,
and will help all, and will give new i'm
petus and energy to the South.

no SUNDAY DEsECRATI0N.

The attempt to open the Atlanta Ex-
position on Sundays died adjoining"
The South is peculiarly the home of
orthodox religion and the sacred obser-
vance Of the Sabbath. No advocacy of
the Continental Sunday has found a
Judgement here. All the people, even
those who claim to be settlers, are
orthodox and believe in honoring the
Sabbath day "to keep it holy" even if
personally they disobey the command
ments.
Opening the Atlanta Exposition on
Sundays would have been rude shock
to the religious convictions of the peo-
pie of the South, and would have con-
vayed a wrong impression to the country,
and injured the standing of the South
The Exposition authorities have acted
wisely.

WILL COTTON GO TO TEN AND
AHALF CENTS2

Mr.. Hector D. Lane, who urged the
farmers twenty days ago not to make a
hasty disposition of their crops, has
written another letter to the cotton
growers of the South, advising them that
they are masters of the situation and
begging them to hold their cotton until
they get ten and one-half cents a
pound.
The New Orleans Picayune gives the
following advice:
cit is to be hoped that the cotton pro-
dueers, while determined to sell their
cotton at the best possible price, will not
become infatuated with the notion that
there can be no limit to the improve
ment, and, consequently, stubbornly
hold their cotton off the market. Such
policy would be extremely foolish As
long as a good price is in sight it would
be wiser to ship regularly so as to feed
the demand without Cutting the market
The accumulation of vast supply Of
held cotton on plantations would have
a disastrous effect later on. The adj
vance which has taken place is most
excellent thing, and the producers owe
much to the speculative excitement
which has aided the Improvement; but
they should not allow themselves to be
carried away by it and neglect favora-
BILE opportunity to market their crops to
good advantage.
"Opinion as to the probable size of the
crop, Of course, differs considerably, but
there has been q general disposition to
lower estimates Conservative people
now appear to pin faith to a crop of
1000 900 bales, while not few expect
as low as $500 600, and one prominent
operator is credited with having express
ed the belief that it would pot surprise
him it the yield were to drop below 6,
600, 600 Here is certainly a variety of
views to choose from; but as crops 60
nowadays, it must be admitted that the
largest Of the estimates calls for very
short crop"

THE RISE COTTON.

The advance in the price Of cotton,
which has characterized the past few
months, has been one of the most extra
ordinary in the history of the staple; and
yet it has been intelligent, with the best
of reasons for it, says the New Orleans
Times Democrat, one of the best cotton
authorities in the United States. ltWas
knewn. for ins lance, that the mills
would. need very large supply of the
staple this year. They have prospsred
lately, and have naturally increased
their production and consequently their
consumption. To determine the price
of cotton, therefore, it was only neces-
sary to know the size OF the crop 1t IS
over this. the number of bales likely to
be raised. that the bulls and bears Skin
mish at the beginning of each season,
whena5he yield is yet an unknown guam
tity.
Throughout July, August and por
ton of September there was some con-
fusion and much dispute as to the size
of the crop. OF late the reports which
indicated g great decrease in production
have had lar the greater evidence in
their support than the other or bear side.
The government reports so declared, and
even those who had been inclined at first
t. take very optimistic view of the yield
have recently admitted their estimates
too high, and have materially reduced
them.
The r3sult has been an advance which
has seldom been equaled in this country.
We give in table below the upward
movement since Aug. l. emitting the
slight reactions and fluctuations which
took plsee from day % day:
