The San Francisco Commercial News
OF March 10 contains the following item.
which will doubtless b. very interesting
TO the friends made by Captain PHttie
and his officers while they were In this
port: "The committee OF Lloyd's have
presented their medal for meritorious
service TO Captain James Patuo and
chief Engineer Rose. Of the British
steamer strathnevis. which lost her pro-
pollor on October 20 last and drif'td
about the Pacific In most erralic way
until December is, when she was taken In
tow by the Miowera. The marine CON-
panios Also and Lloyd's. win present
testimonial, and more than $500 10 the
captain and officers" II will be re-
membered that the Miowcra lost the
Strathnovis in storm after taking her
In tow, and the Strathnevis was again
at the mercy OF the seas. She dflfted
to the Destruction island coast, but n
fortuitous anchorage saved her from the
rocks until the timely arrival of the
steamer Mneola, which took her In tow
and brought her safely TO Port Towns
end. Litigation over the salvage claims
thus induced Is now pending. The offi-
GERS OF the Northern Pacific Steamship
Company are gratifled over what is con-
sldered the well-deserved honor thus con-
ferred upon the officers and crew OF the
steamship so lately In the company's
service Ledger.

be as servant. Incorporate that one
great principle OF loving obedience to
God, of loving self-sacrifice to your fell
lows. into our life and character, and
ness.
The men who have followed this pre-
cept have their names engraven upon the
indestructible scroll of human hearts,
those who sought greatness in another
way have been, or will be, forgotten as
the days pass by.
Thls Is the one great possibility that
lies open to all men. There is nothing
more important than the great avenues
that have been opened 10 us along the
line of becoming great. as the Master
became great. Men may, indeed, never
know our names outside of the narrow
circles, but we may still be great men
and women; we may become as the one
whose life was silent benediction
wherever the story of II was told. The
possibility of following in his footsteps
Is before each one.
If we will but incorporate his teach
ings into our life and characters, his
words, not what men have sad about
HIM. but what he said; II we will do as
he did; If we will grow more and more
out OF self into the likeness of the only
one whose life is worthy Of patterning
after.
There is much need for such great
Christ-like men, men who can rise above
the fog and little things of life: men
who can stand beside the great Master,
helpin. him to draw men away from
the things of earth, and teach them
the true greatness consists in the serv-
Ice of humanity, that the only life
worth the living is the Christ life of
loving self-sacrifice for the welfare of
humanity.

Its Possibilities Lies Within the Bosom
of Every Man and Woman.
TRUE DEFINITION OF GREATNESS DEFINED
Carisrs Life the Only Perfect One
Ever Lived on Earth-His Deh-
milton of Grentness is I'm the End
the Only Correct One, and Is Given
In n Single Word, Service.
By REV. BENZ. f. FRITZ. d. D.. PHI.
D., Greenwich, ..
1T Doth Not Yet Appear What We
Shall Bel. John, ill.,, 2.

The possibility of greatness lies within
the bosom of every man and woman.
No merely finite mind can cqmpr ehend
the height to which the soul can RISE
nor the depths to which II can fall
Judas and John perhaps represent the
two extreme possibilities of human eX-
perience; the former sinking himself
into moral and spiritual darkness; the
latter soaring on the wings of an eagle
to battle himself liz eternaG ethereal
light. When Judas was youth. he
would have spurned the idea that he
would betray his best friend. and die by
his own hand. and yet the possibility
was there.
At one time Benedict Arnold would
have considered the insinuation that he
would betray his country burning In
suit And yet the possibility was in his
own breast. Not that these men needed
to become what they became-within
their own bosoms lay other possibilities,
which, had they been awakened, would
have made their lives as honored as
those OF the most honored sons OF men.
There comes the question. What is
greatness? We sometimes speak of
military greatness, OF literary greatness,
the greatness of craftsmanship. the
greatness Of commercial life. While in
sense the various activities are all
great. no one will claim that they are
of the same grade and quality. Alexan-
der, Caesar, Washington, and Grant were
great military leaders, yet there is a
difference between them. The former
fought not always from the purest mo
tives; the latter fought for freedom
and the preservation of the union. The
same Is true Of scholarship. The one
may be destructive; the other construc-
tive, as we'll as productive of much good.
While we would not take one iota
from the fame and honor and the great
ness these men have achieved IT is
nevertheless true. that the greatness
which IL really worth having is not In
the mere attainment of military literary.
political, and commercial greatness. Men
have reached the very pinnacle of great
ness In these things and lost the real
and abiding things which go to make
ones character truly great. If the DOS
sihllity of greatness lay only in the plan
ming and fighting great battles; II
greatness lay in the attainment OF deep
and Profound scholarship; IL It lay in
wikef and Wiley statecraft, II 1t lay in
the organising and carrying out of great
.aad important business enterprises. very

MARKET LETTER
Furnished the Ardmorelte Daily BY n.
& B. Beer of New OrIesns-An Inter
estInk Cotton Statement.
Friday, Oct. ., '96.

Dear Sir-Liverpool advanced
today owing to more favorable
advices from Manchester, re-
porting a good business doing
there, and bad crop accounts
from India, claiming that
drought was doing harm to the
crop.
The improvement in Liver
pool was responded to here on
the opening by an advance of
three points, which was aug
mented later by an additional
gain of three points, in conse-
quence of some outside buying.
Toward the close, however,
prices eased off some, reducing
the net advance on the day to
only one point.
1t is claimed, by many, that
if present prices hold for the
next ffteen.days spinners will be
compelled to come into the
market. If spinners do really
take hold of spots freely, as
predicted, it will undoubtedly
stimulate the market and force
a sharp advance. Nevertheless,
for the immediate future, we
think it best to sell our pur-
chases on rallies with the idea
of replacing on depressions.
Very truly yours,
II. a. B. BEER.

MANNsvILLE MUSINGS.
Special CorresDondence:


Mannsville, l. t., Oct. 2.-After
quite lapse of time l will try to
dot a few items from this burg.
While the happenings have not
been of a strange or unusual ma
ture, all seem to be moving along
in the even tenor of their way.
Our merchants report collections
good up to date, in fact, better
than usual, and also that a major
ity of our farmers are in better
shape than last fall. Most of
them will be able to pay out of
debt, as the cotton crop was bet
ter than was expected some time
ago, and !prices are better than
anticipated in the spring. Our
top crop will not amount to much,
however.
Corn is much lighter than was
expected, hence the price is ad-
vancing.
Some changes are being made in
the burg. Mrs. Fannie Sacra has
bought the residence on Quality
Row." formerly owned by Mr..
jackson, and moved into same,
she having vacated Hotel Sacra,
leaving it unOecupied.
Mr.. T. ]. White is now catering
to the appetites of our denizens
and the public at large. Mrs.
White knows exactly how to make
her guests feel at home.
Miss Julie Ponder left yesterday
for TishOmingo, to take charge of
I a music class. Miss Ponder is a
highly educated and accomplished
young lady, and we congratulate
the people of Tishomingo in seeur-
ing her services in their music
school.
Death visited the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Wilkerson last night and
took from them their son, John,
aged IA years. Death is a SAD
thing in any case, but when its
pale hand is laid upon a young
flower or tender bud, and plucks il
from the parent stem, it is hard

ANOTHER CIRCULAR.
The Allea-weat cOmmInRiOn Company
OF St. LouIs Issue q
Circular.

From a circular. dated October
LIST. we extract the following;
As is usual on the 1st OF October,
we have a few observations for our
patrons and friends. This has
been a peculiar cotton year; Febru-
airy and March were cold and wet,
the first of April it turned warm as
midsummer. and cotton eommen-
eed growing vigorously from the
time planted; by the time cotton
is usually cut to a stand, planters
were writing MS they had squares,
blooms and bolls; from then until
July we never heard such favor
able reports of the crop from all
sections. Then the drought and
hot winds commence d to cook the
cotton, and reports completely
changed from one to two bales Of
cotton to the acre. to from four to
twenty acres to the bale. There
is a God that rules the world, and
we think that He in mercy sent the
hot winds to eurtail the crop, other
wise cotton would have been so
cheap that it would hardly been
worth gathering. We unQuestion-
ably have another short crop, but
under present adverse conditions
we only need a short crop; fer
money is close and tight among
the people, and the panic that
commenced in 1873 still continues
aud grows worse among the pro-
ducing classes yearly. And as the
foundation of all wealth is the
products Of the earth, as long as
the producing classes are unable
to buy and consume because of the
scarcity of money, commerce and
trade must necessarily be eurtailed; /;
for there is no use making cotton
a1d cotton goods or anything else
if the people have no money to
buy with. We think this deplor-
able state of affairs has been
brought about by unwise legisla-
ton, as you have noticed by our
annual circulars for several years
past, and our senior now thinks
we have an excellent opportunity
of changing this unfortunate, ruin
Gus state of affairs by electing to
the presidency that honorable,
eloquent, wise patrot and states
man. w. J. Bryan, who, he
thinks. is full of wisdom and pru-
dence. and is above party and
prejudice, and if elected with a
I, congress in sympathy with him,
will restore silver to primary
money as before the crime Of 1873.
We will then expect such prosper
ity among all classes in this e0un-
try as we have never known be.
sore, instead OF the predicted
panic, and he thinks the rich a.
we'll as the poor will be greatly
benefited by Bryan's election
Our senior. being personally in.

know the banks, railroads, manu-
faetmers, and merchants have al
suffered with the producers by thii
unwise legislation, for the shares
of all have declined. When silvei
is restored to its place as befor'

gether; for there can be no true
permanent prosperity, unless con
ditions are so that we can al
