The Philadelphia Record says the
South has not reaped the real prof
its of her cotton crops. England
sold to Japan in single year s14,.
600, 900 worth of cotton goods. Almost
every pound of this material came
from the Southern States, but Eng>
land received as much for each yard
of four ounce goods as she paid the
cotton growers for each pound.
The erection of extensive, cotton
mills in Georgia and other Southern
States during the past few months
by New England cotton spinners is
a most important feature. Secre-
tary Of the Interior Hoke Smith
has already emphasized the fact
that the manufacture in the South
of its own cotton would change the
value CT the crop annually from
s3OO,OOO,QCO to about $1,000, OOO,-

INCREASING LENGTH OF LIFE.
People of Today Seem TO Have Longe
Eytcfcnpn-s

People of Today Seem TO Have Longer
Existence. -"
From the Providence Journal.
Is the human race becoming longer
lived despite the fret and fever of mod
ern civilization? 1t is an interesting
question, and 1t may very probably be
answered some day by science in the
affirmative. The longevity of profess
sional men is now generally considered
to be greater than that of farmers or
mechanics. In other words, intellectual
activity, although in many respects
more exhausting than physical, has in
the main q salutary effect upon the
human frame. 1t may be the nerves
rather than the muscles upon which
we mainly depend, after all. 1t is a
commonplace observation that the
big, hearty men are constantly dropping
out of the world, while those of far
more fragile organizations, apparently
live to ripe old age.
AS to the increasing longevity OF the
race generally, there Is no little Incl
dental testimony on this head to be
gathered from various sources. Some
of the early heroes and heroines of
romance are old before they reach
what we should call middle life. And
at the beginning of our own century,
Jane Austen, whose testimony is always
unimpeachable, speaks of the healthy
and contented woman of 40 as having
a good prospect of 90 years of life yet.
Twenty years! What woman Of to-
day thinks Of herself as falling into
decrepitude at GO? Elsewhere in Miss
Austen's pages we run across people
who are old with the passage Of half
a century of life. But now we have
Gladstone at so and over, and think
nothing of IT,

OUR DISAPPEARING FORESTS.
Facts of Present Interest. Chilled from
Forest COnmissiOu'S Rcnorf

Facts of Present Interest Chilled from
Forest Commissions Report. ..
In Professor j. T.: Rothrock's report
to the forest commissloS for tile year
1894 are many facts of 1--we interest, of
which a few follow: In 1875 there were
100, 100000 feet of pine went through the
boom at Williamsport. In the same
year there were 19,963,736 feet of hem
lock. In 1893 there were 33,197,26 feet
of pine went through and in the same
year 1S6,9S4,47S feet of hemlock. This
does not indicate an inexhaustible sup
ply Of hemlock, for that cannot last at
most over fifteen years; but 1t shows
that the lumber market Is glutted with
hemloek wood because the trees happen
to be felled to btain hemlock bark.
In the year 1894 there were adver-
tised toibe sold for taxes in the different
counties of the commonwealth, so far
as heard from, not less than 1,5OO,OOO
acres of land. This does not include
5000 smaller lots in cities and towns. 1t
means that within the last year there
were lands equal In acreage to twelve
times the area OF Delaware county, in
this state, which had been rendered so
valueless by the removal of timber that
the owners would rather give them up
than pay the taxes on them; in other
words, 1t would be an area equal to
of the commonwealth

SECRETARY COUGHS TITLE.
BY the Death of His Father the
Attache Becomes a Lord

ny the Deatn OF His rather the
Attache Becomes a Lord.
BY the death of yesterday OF Lord Cough,
the hero of India and father of Mr.. Hugh
Cough, first secretary OF the embassy here,
the latter being the eldest son, now be-
comes Lord Cough.
He succeeds to the titles and estates,
becomes member of the peerage, and has
conferred upon him the usual honors which
parliament conferred upon the elder Lord
Cough and his two successors, because of
conspicuous service in subduing India and
in effect establishing the British Empire
in India
The new Lord Cough has been in Wash
ington about year, coming here from
st. Petersburg His wife, Lady Georgina
Cough, is a daughter of the Earl OF
Longford.
Lord Cough, the elder. went to India as
captain of the Grenadier Guards, but
showed such brilliant abilities that he was
made commander in-chief OF all the forces
in India. For his services in India parlia-
ment twice thanked him, raised him TO the
peerage, and gave him the usual honor
ofa permanent annuityo of a2 ,00O($1O ,O0O)
which should go not only TO himself but TO
his son and his sons son.
The new Lord Cough now succeeds to
this handsome annuity conferred by
parliament. The elder Lord Cough closed
the contest with the Sikh rebels by a victory
at Goozerat which led to the annexation of
the Punjab. Parliament again thanked
him for conspicuous intrepidity." His
titles advanced successfully from baronet,
baron viscount aud lord. Ascommander- in
chiefin India he became afieldmarshal with
Lord Woolsley.
The new Lord Cough is a graduate of
Oxford. He entered the British diplomatic
service in 1876, and has been first secretary
at Stockholm, st. Petersburg and Wash
ington. 1t is probable that he will return
to England at au early day.

FANCIULLI'S BATON FALLS
Marine Band Concerts Begin This
Afternoon at the White House.
Popular and Classical Music of a
High Order to BE Played to the
Multitude
"We will be happy. love,

we Will De nappy, iOVe,
When the Marine Band plays again"
The words of the chorus of a popular
song have been changed by one of Wash
eington's bright summer girls in the way
shown above.
She is a deiightful bit of humanity, and
in these days, when it would be impossible
to tell from the sweat on mans brow
whether he is or is not an honest toiler,
this airy fairy creature looks as cool as
a spring breeze.
She wears the daintiest combinations OF
refreshing colors, and through the soft,
gauzy folds of her costume the smooth
outlines of her arms and neck peep forth
to rival the buds and blossoms in their
summer time beauty
1t is of this sort of clay that the girls
whogot to the Marine band out -doorcoucerts
are made. No wonder, therefore, that
men, young aud old, rich and poor, who love
the beautiful in human kind flock TO the
White House and Capitol grounds to feast
their eyes, and next, their ears.
To lie stretched full length on the grass
and watch the ever moving panorama of
pretty ones revolve around the musicians
stand while the sweet strains OF music
played as only the Marine band can do it,
steal out upon the perfumed air and fill
themind with harmony-thisway ofpassipg
few hours is most delightful unless, per-
chance. your best girl is there with some
other fellow!
The Marine Band concerts are one of
Washington's best Institutions, and the
effect upon the multitude is most bene-
ficial. 1t encourages a taste for the very
best music by the very best musicians and
gives, besides, the most refined amuse-
ment.

to be Filed.

The suit against the steamboat Jane
Mosely threatened Thursday night by Presi-
dent Patterson, of the Peoples Transpor-
tation Company, with the approval of the
other officers, was brought yesterday by
Cook and Sutherland, as attorneys.
1t is for $50, 600 damages and is directed
against the Baltimore company owning the
boat, consisting of Isaac Filbert, General
Passenger Agent c. o. scull, of the B. & o.
R II. Co., Attorney Bond and others. The
action is in admiralty, and is based on the
refusal of Capt. B. FjKirby, Of the Mosely,

Day. This action, it is stated, was upon
telegraphic orders from headquarters at
Baltimore.

might retain control it was agreed that
the captain and crew should be employed
by them, but paid by the lessees.
Under these conditions big excursion
was to go TO Douglass Beach on Decoration
Day, but Capt Kirby declined TO take
them. He gave as reason that the
landing had beeA declared dangerous by
the United states authorities. He refused
idbeT, however, fU IL stt4O, bo take tue eA-
cursionists fifty miles down the river and

President Patterson declared this treat
ment OF his company to be an effort by
the Baltimoreans to break it down and
compel it to cancel the contract. With
Frederick Dyson and others of the Peo-
ple's Company, he tried to take possession
of the Mosely ana discharge Capt Kirby
and his crew, As a result, theFe-was fer a
time two parties aboard claiming to be
