THE cREcHE ENTERTAINMENT.

The entertainment tonight at the opera house by the young ladies of the Greene will be an event of more than ordinary social interest. The word creche Is now often on the lips of our people. It is a French word and is pronounced krash, not kresh. It is a public nursery where the young children of poor women are cared for during the day while their mothers are at work. In French creche means crib or manager, and conveys the thought of Christ in the manager. In Ger man it means basket, and brings to mind Moses in the bulrushes.
 The young ladies of the Greene were organized last spring as an auxiliary or the Mercy Home. Miss Bertha H. Geld CTS is president, Miss Susie Howze secre- tary and Miss Augusta Sharpe treasurer. The house committee is composed of Mrs. c. P. Perrin, chairman; Mrs. R. F. John- ston, Miss Annie Redd, Mrs. A. N. Bal lard. Miss Matte Webb. Entertainment committee: Miss Sarah Rogan, chairman; Mrs. Sol Bernstein and the house com mittee The house is located on Nine teenth street, between Avenues c and D. Several applications have already been received. The Creche will do much to pre- went misapplied charity. Any woman strong enough to work who appeals to citizens can be referred to Mrs Spencer or Miss Belle Dangaix, of the admission committee, and she will be given work and her children cared for. If mothers are able and willing to pay small ad- mission fee for their children, 1t will be received. but otherwise no charge will be made. The children will be given two meals a day, with bath and clean clothes, and after awhile Kindergarten features will be established. Pleasant play grounds for the older children ad- join the house. Baby carriages will be kept on hand and mothers who return for their babies at night can wheel them home and return them in the carriage next morning. The young ladies will per- sonally supervise the house. Their hearts are in the work and they deserve success No nobler work nor one more full of humanity has yet been undertaken by the ladies of Birmingham, who are noted for their humanitarian efforts and philanthropic undertakings.
 The entertainment tonight at the opera house has been prepared with much care.

MARKETS TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.

New York, Oct. 2G.-lspeciaL)-Th mar ket was decidedly lower today The port re- ceipts weresin crushing volume, and while there was an evident disposition on the part of holders of long cotton to unload before the election there was no great eagerness on the part of buyers to relieve them Of their holdings, except at concessions. Jan uary opened at 7.94, rallied to 7.97 and then gave way as the figures of the receipts were posted, declining to 7.SS. The close was quiet and steady, but at the lowest prices. There is no decided bearish feeling and the decline was due entirely to the pressure of sales upon the market by tired holders. Any fall- ing off in the receipts would be followed by recovery, but prices can hardly stand a prolongation of such movement as to- days.
