MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.

New York, Feb. 6.-Those operators who had expected the Liverpool market to be favorably influenced by the unqualified suc- cess of the government bond issue were sadly disappointed today. That market opened but little higher and this advance was soon lost. The opening here was slightly lower May selling on the call at S.09. The storm over the Atlantic states in- terfcred seriously with telegraphic commu- nication with the south and the volume of outside business was trivial. The tone of the market was dull and heavy all day. and under the influence of liberal port re- ceipts and heavy selling, chiefly by a local bear operator, prices gradually gave way The close was quiet. but steady, with 84 bid for May. Traders here generally con- tinue to believe in lower prices for cotton.

THE FAD IN WASHINGTON.

Men Should Attend Afternoon Teas and
Functions In Business Dress.
Washington society is enjoying a fad
that has spread rapidly and has taken a
firm hold. 1t is regarded now as the
proper thing for a man to attend afternoon
teas and other like functions dressed in
ordinary rough and ready business clothes
or even in an outing suit. During the
entire social season men have been noticed
making afternoon calls dressed in sack
suits and colored shirts, and while at first
they were looked upon as being from the
country they are regarded now as tho early
disciples of new cult.
On last Thursday, at the house of a
western senator, celebrated for his wealth
and lavish hospitality, the young man en-
ployed as the mentor of the senator's wife
in social matters was here. there and ev-
eryWhere in the great parlcrs with his BIZ
cycle trousers guards still attached to
his ankles and his feet incased in russell
shoes. Two guests from western city, in
leaving tho house, commented on the
young mans appearance and one of theIp
criticised his apparent lack of good breed
ing. His friend explained, however. that
this young man was employed by tho SEN
ator's wife at high salary to manage So
cial affairs in her household as they should
be managed, and that he was present in
his bicycle clothes for the very purpose OF
advertising the fact that the tea or recep-
ton or whatever the hostess guests might
choose to call her regular Thursday at
home was intended to be an entirely IN
conventional affair, according to the new
code of etiquette, and she hoped this would
be understood by a glance at the social
diotator'S appearance and behavior with
out the necessity of advertising it.-New

Her Double on Canxas.

A big sensation is the result of a ooinoi-
denoe in the appearance of a picture
painted by Karl Kappes, we'll known
artist to Miss Georgia Gordon, one of the
handsomest young ladies in GAINESVILLE, o.
The picture is in the annex of the Chit
tenden hotel, at Columbus, and was seen
by travelling man, who, seeing Miss
Gordon, referred to the fact in such a
manner that the young lady's mother
heard of it. The report that Miss Gordon
posed for the picture acquired some cir
culation and this rendered the mother ex
ceedingIy wrathy. She consulted attor
neys and went to Columbus. A dispatch
from there says she was in the city inquir-
ing into the matter.
The artist says he painted the picture
from a French model and gave it an ideal
head, but the likeness to Miss Gordon is
so striking that Miss Gordon's CLOSEST
friends are surprised at its exactness.-

CATION was located at the Leland hotel
yesterday by John S. Richardson, chair
man of the Democratic central commit
tee of the state. Rooms for fifty people
were secured.
Among Kansas Democrats" said Mr..
Richardson. "Morrison is kindly men,

has his frieuds. I am inclined to the
opinion, however. that Morrison will get
our delegation. The central committee
will meet on February 20. to call the con-
vention. We shall have a fight in the
convention on the silver question. On the
surface it looks as if the free silver men
had majority, but think we shall send
a divided delegation on that issue. In
the national convention l expect the anti
free silver men to write the platform,
but doubt if they get the required two
thirds to nominate.

Gen. SOOy Smith Advocates Going Un-
der Rather tRaan Over the Detroit.
CLEVELAND, Feb 1O.-Gen. William
Sooy Smith, of Chicago, in letter to
Harvey D. Goulder, general counsel of
the Lake Carriers association, advocates
the building of a tunnel under the De-
tcoit river instead of a bridge across
ii. He estimates the cost of such tun-
mel at three millions of dollars, saying
that bridge. exclusive of right of way
and land damages, would be four mill
lions. In conclusion, he says:
believing, as do, that a tunnel is
in every way preferable to a bridge, I
cannot conceive what good reason the
railroad companies that must furnish the
means to build the crossing can have for
building an inferior structure when the
better one will surely cost at least 20 per
cent less.

SHr- ana Mrs. BAILEY Formerly Miss
Margaret 1EOrnc) Are n the City and
Laugh at tine Published Accounts.
The following appeared in Saturday
evenings Leavenworth Standard:
It is announced that Miss Margaret
Horne, niece of the Rev. Charles Nc
Nulty of Kansas City, eloped from there
last Tuesday evening with B. A. Bailey
of Topeka. They were married in Atch-
ison.
There was considerable romance con-
nected with the elopement Mr. Bailey
is county surveyor of Shawnee county.
The bride is well known in Kansas City
where for several years she was soprano
in the choir of All Souls church. She is
of excellent family and stands high as
soprano.
Miss Horne and Mr.. Bailey arrived in
Leavenworth Tuesday evening on a Bur
Imperial and had supper, Mr.. Bailey
registering as ''B. A Bailey and one, To
peka." A man who came up from Kan
sas City on the same train with the elop-
ers said at the hotel that Mr.. Bailey al
most dragged the young woman into the
train at Kansas City. At first she said
she would scream, but he whispered
something in her ear and she became
quiet for time.
The night clerk at the Hotel Imperial
says the couple acted strangely while at
the hotel The young woman seemed to
fear pursuers and was greatly agitated
over something. Her conversation with
Dir. Bailey as they went to the parlor to
await supper was intermittent Mr.
Bailey appeared aggressive and talked
in the most earnest manner He was
trying to convince the prospective bride
of something that must have been very
Important
Immediately after supper, it seems,
Mr.. Bailey went forth to fad the probate
Judge, but allowing the prospective bride
10 remain at the hotel alone did not suit
MIN, so he soon returned without mar
riage license.
Mr., Bailey and Miss Horne left the ho-
tel and went to Atchison on an early
evening train. Il was in that civ a
license was procured and the marriage
ceremony performed.
While at supper here Miss Horne was
recognized by a Mr.. Davidson of Kansas
City. She uttered suppressed excIs-
nation and soon flushed the meal. It ia
thought his incident was what prevented
the couple from getting married here.
The following was published in yester-
days Kansas City Journal
a special telegram from Leavenwerth
says that Miss Margaret Horne, of that
city, has eleped with B. A. Bailey, Miss
Horne is a niece of Rev. Charles Nc

When Extremes Touch.

On Hester street-on Hester street
The babes are born with faces old,
And hands are hard and hearts are cold,
And life 1imps on with tagging feet,
While morning dawns obscure and dim
To sodden eyes and faces grim.
And noon is harsh with motherless glees
And night is foul with ribaldry.
Surrounded by that fetid air,
The mire of muck and squa1or there,
The light of love we may not meet
God pity those of Hester street,
On Astor street-on Astor street
The babes are laid in laps of gold,
While hands are soft and hearts are bold,
And life flows on with rhythmic beat,
For morning trips with rosy tread
Through scented sheen to silken bed,
And noon is decked with trappings gay,
And night is fraught with revelry.
And yet, with al its tinsel pride
And titled groom and dainty bride,
The light of love we may not meet
God pity those of Aston street,

Persecution of Christians That Ropes ats

New YORK, Feb. 1O.-Sixty-two bishops

In their letter to archbishop

of England, shall take decisive action.
To the great powers the prayer that in
the name of Christ they come to the aid of

Mr.. Bailey hooted at the idea of an
