Her Back Rows.

A young soubrette rushed to her dem

with the most dazzling of her front

for it but to pull the tooth. Every well,

How They Came Together In q Notable
Police Station Argument.
The argument started when Sergeant
Holihisl. after assigning the latest
conner TO quarters in cell 26, closed the
book with a slam and remarked:

Jailer Hausermann didn't get back
from the cellroom in time to hear this
outburst Of righteous indignation, but
he had just laid his keys on the desk
and was reaching for his pipe when the
sergeant broke out again with:
"Thot felly Irish! Divil take him

The tone of the last sentence was a
challenge in itself, and Jailer Hauser-
mann did't wait to load his pipe before
picking up the gauntlet. When in a
calm and critical mood. the jailer was
wont to distinguish closely between
Dutch and German, but under attack he
threw aside distinction and sprang to
the defense Of all the Teutonic tribes.

A Chicago general passenger agent
the other day received a letter from the
publisher of a little paper in Arkansas
which had the merit of frankness at
least. The Arkansas editor said "Dear

Catholic Priests and Marriages.

Marriage by the clergy was first posi-
lively forbidden in the year 1914 by
Pope Gregory VII. The controversy,
however, which had been going on for
centuries on that subject was not alto
gether settled by Gregory's decree. The
council of Trent, in 1898, was the eccle-
siastical body which formally prohibited
priests from forming marriage alliances.
That permanently settled the matter.

Distinguished Guests Arriving.

New York, May 1.-TOday's steamers
brought a number of distinguished
gentlemen who will represent foreign
governments in the international postal
congress which assemblies in Washing
ton next week. Of the delegates now
in the city, lone have a more interesting
mission than those representing the
Chinese empire. Since the viceroy's
visit to this country a yea ago., a well
equipped postal department has been
established in China and business is
now conducted regularly. For this
reason and because of the desire to
extend the union throughout the civil
lied world. interest centres at this
time in the effort to bring China into
the union at the coming congress-.
E. Bruce Hart, a relative of Sir
Robert Hart, head of the newly ryan
lied postal department in China, with
F. T.. Taylor and Mr.. Merrill, are the
first representatives ever sent by
China to a postal congress and they are
authorized to act for the empire at
the deliberations in Washington next
week.
Our action will depend upon circum-
stances" said Mr.. Hart, land it is i'm
possible at this time to discuss the
probable outcome OF our visit to this
country. China has really only just
started her postal department and al
though it works admirably now we
cannot tell what additional facilities
the development of III system may re-
quire. We hav peculiar conditions in
China. unlike. in some respects, those
found anywhere else, n having but
one or two railroads, means of locomo-
ton are more difficult than in many
countries. We shall, Of course, con-
slider the matter of entering the union
in all of its aspects, while at Washing
ton, and If it seems best to bring China
into adhesion at this time. though it
may be done now or it may be deferred
until later. The Chinese like to write
letters and the postoffice department in
China promises to be we'll patronized.
The question of entering the union,
however. has not been decided as yet.
and, of course cannot be until we reach

Especial to The MeSSenSer.)
New York, May 1.-The campaign in
cotton this week has been exceeding and
decidedly in favor of the bulls. The
professional traders here have been dis
appointed in their hopes that the improve
ment in the planting reports would be
more potent in affecting values, than the
amazingly strong statistical position and
the eager absorption Of cotton by the
spinners Of the world. Today there was n
pause in both the activity of the market
and the march towards a higher level of
prices. Liverpool was better this morn
ing, but the advice there was regarded
as hardly adequate. Nevertheless, there
were large puylng orders here for the
near months and they opened higher. The
Chronicle reported the outlook in the
south was construed as favorable and the
They opened lower. Liverpool sold early
and bought in the last hour. August
opened at 1855, declined to 7.4S, advanced
to 7.52, again gave way and closed at
$50, with the tenor of the market steady.
The general alarm was over the danger
CT a.great shortage in supply of cotton
before the new crop begins to pour in Is
certainly well founded, and the specula-
tors have begun to recognize the fact,
AS a result, the investment buying this
week has been notable, and much cotton
mas passed from weak TO strong nannS.
Only the boldest dare sell the summer
months. Spectators and those who be
lieve in low prices are combining their at
tentiOn to the new crop. Although the
advices from the south have become more
favorable, they are by no means glowing
yet. and it seems to US poor policy to ado
to the already enormous short interest In
the fall and winter months by selling
them. Speculation in cotton has become
more general, but the advice this week
has been due not to this, but to the posi-
ton and merits of the staple. Such an ad
vance is more apt to be permanent thar
rapid, and we rather expect to see some
thing Of a setback neXt week. A de.
cline in prices will not add to the supply
of cotton in the world, and If it comes We
think it will present an advantageou:
opportunity to invest. The continued sue
cess of the Turks in the war with the
Greeks has led to n feeling of security
in considering the effect of the war upor

New York, May 1.-The close OF the
weeks trading was marked by the same
condition of apathy and almost OF stag
nation which has characterized the mar
ket all through the week. This was ac-
c~entuated by the fact that today was a
holiday on the London exchange and by
the definite announcement from Boston
that the shipment of gold to Europe or
Tuesday neX by a house there would be
increased to s.. 900, 90. The market was
left freely in the hands Of professional
traders. and was without feature of gen.
eral interest. The prevailing dullness was
accompanied by the heaviness Of inertia,
and prices sagged even Oh the limited Of
ferings of shares. A few individual
properties were subject to special unfa-
vorable influences and the general market
showed itself sensitive to the sympathetic
effect of these, thong the fluctuations
were within narrow compass. The aver
age decline for the day was something
