COURSE OF COTTON.

The price of cotton OH the Yorkvile
market today is rather better than on
Wednesday. The figures this morning
run from u to II. Following are the con-
ditions prevailing in New York on Thurs
day as described by Messrs. Riordon Il
Co:
The cotton market was active again to-
day and held its own well in the face OF
very heavy realizing sales. The early
Liverpool cables reported that market
2-4 higher, with large business in spots.
The report was regarded as rather non
committal, considering the strength OF
our market yesterday and the opening
here was but slightly high, August selling
on the first call at 7.49. Immediately af-
ter the opening rush of buying orders
carried prices upward, August touching
7.5O, but the general opinion was that
prices were high enough for the moment
and heavy liquidation ensued. August
declined to 7.45. The fluctuations during
the day were frequent between this figure
and 7.il. May contracts in which the in
terest has almost entirely been liquidated,
were very strong all day and the late
months as usual were sold freely and
were comparatively weak. The close
was quiet and steady with 7.4S bid for
August. A too rapid advance may check
the demand for spots and for the moment
we advise caution in buying except on
breaks.
Though the somewhat rapid fluctua-
tions at this time are attributed in many
quarters to the developments in Greece,
there are numerous other causes that are
rather more potent. The unsettled con-
dition of affairs in the Mississippi Valley
is also factor. Acreage has been in
creased elsewhere on account of the over
flow; but still there is possibility that
the valley people may be able to raise a
considerable crop, and if so, the effect
upon prices will be very bad.

the city and is calculated to restore
order to the country.
M. Ralli has announced that he
wants peace; but will only accept hon
orable peace which is to be attained
through more fighting. To this end
he is sending additional supplies and
re.inforcements to the Greek army at
Pharsala, and given it out as his inten-
ton to Immediately 60 to the front to
reorganize the staff. The sultan OF
Turkey is reported to have announced
that he will agree to peace upon the
withdrawal of the Greek forces from
Crete, the establishment of the
boundary line between Greece and
Turkey in accordance with the treaty
of 1881, the exclusion Of the Greeks
from the advantages Of capitulation
and full Identification for the expen-
ses incurred by Turkey as the result
of the war.
The Greeks who have been opera
ting so successfully in Epirus, are said
to be pouring into Arta in long un-
broken column; but the dispatches
give no information as to the meaning
Of this movement.
The last report from the front is to
the effect that on Thursday afternoon,
at o'clock General Smolenk's brigade
had become engaged with division
of the Turkish army and several reg
iments of soldiers, along with a battery
of artillery, had been sent from Phar'
sala as re-ipforcements. The Greeks
were represented as being in strong
position, and it was thought that the
expected battle of Pharsala had com
menced.

A Negro For Consul.


News and Courier: The consulate
at Stuttgart, Germany, has never be.
fore been asked for by colored man
The applicant for this position now is
Professor Buckley, of Clahin Univer'
sity of South Carolina. This univer.
sity is one of the leading institutions
in the south for the Negro race and is
largely endowed by northern people.
Professor Buckley is one of the best
educated men of his race. He grad
uated in French in Paris and in Ger
man at Heidelberg. He speaks both
languages huently. Among those who
ask for the appointment are business
men of Stuttgart and Heidelberg.
They speak in the highest terms OF
him. A colored man as consul to a
German city would be unprecedented,
but the facts are interesting. Pro-
fessor Buckley has had an interview
with the president and presented his
papers. These have been referred to
the state department and will be passed
upon by Secretary Sherman.

1t is not as easy thing as one might
suppose, nowadays, to secure admission
to the United States army. 1t used to be
that almost anybody could join for the
asking, and the authorities were glad to
get them. But now about nine applicants
out of every ten are turned down. The
reason of this is that the army is becom.
ing very much more respectable than for
merly and offers more opportunities fol
promotion, and the authorities are not
slow to choose the very best men they are
able to get.

Now, since the Associated Press no
longer has competition, we are of opinion
that we are able to note in its reports de-
cided disposition to comment upon and
color news in accordance with fixed
policy that has no doubt been agreed upon
by the management. This, if true, is a
deplorable circumstance, calculated to
produce results not pleasant to contem-
plate. In these days and times, editorial
opinions-that is mere opinions unbacked
by solid facts or sound reasoning-are not
calculated to have much weight with an
intelligent public. The public bases its
opinions principally upon known facts.
And here is where we apprchend danger
from the manipulation Of tho Associated
Press reports. Byan INSCRIPTIONS color

SATURDAY, MAY |, 1897.

Now the gold standard people are
talking of putting Cleveland up as a
third term candidate. 1t is to be hoped
that they will succeed. They will not
only fail to elect Cleveland; but they
will be unable to prevent Democratic
success again. The people know Cleve-

again in very short time, is consum-

TOOK AN AFFIDAVIT BY PHONE.
And Rosenbdum Got in ahead of
the Other Creditors,

Nineland, n. j.. Oct. l3.-What
was in all probability the first afii-
aavit by telephone in the State of
New Jersey was taken yesterday.
The clothing store of William Wal
man was closed by the Sheriff yes
terday, and there was a scramble of
creditors to file their claims. Wal
man wanted to confess Judgment to
NJ. Rosenbaum, of Philadelphia, but
the law requires an affidavit. At
torney Loughran hit upon the tele-
phone as means of securing this
affidavit, and it required little or no
time to arrange with Justice of the
Peace Bray.
After Rosenbaum's voice had
been identified by friend here, and
the contents of the affidavit read to
him, Justice Bray, speaking over
the telephone, asked: "Do you
solemly swear in the presence of
Almighty God that the contents OF
the affidavit just read is true ?"
From Rosenbaum, at the other end
of the wire, nearly 40 miles away,
came hack the answer 81 do" TIE
affidavit taken was then filed with
the Court, Judgment entered there
upon, the execution issued ahead of
the other claimants, and Rosen-
baum's money was saved,

Killed by a Horse

Jacob Wagner, aged 20 years,
son of Charles Wagner of West
Perry township, died on Monday
morning from the effect of being
killed by a horse. On Saturday
morning young Wagner was har-
Messing one of John Gordon's horses
l miles Southeast of Richfeld.
The horse did not stand over
promptly and Jacob hit the horse
with harness, and the horse kick
ed the boy squarely on the abdomen.
The victim went to the house and
got to bed himself. He did not
seem to be feeling much the worse
for his injuries until Sunday even
ing when it was discovered that he
was really worse than his friends
had thought. DR.. Rothrock of
Fremont was summoned. 1t was
too late. The work was done.
About 20 minutes before seven on
Monday morning he raised himself
up and said he felt better. He fell
back upon the pillow and by seven
o'clock, the vital spark fed. He
will be buried on Thursday. The
horse that did the dirty work has
always been known as a gentle
horse and has never been known to
kick or to harm any one.

MANY Think!

when the Creator said to woman,
"ln sorrow shalt thou bring forth
children" that a curse was pro-
nounced against the human race,
but the joy felt by every Mother
when she first presses to her heart
her babe, proves the contrary.
Danger and suffering lurk in
the pathway of the Expectant
Mother, and should be avoided,
that she may reach the hour when
the hope of her heart is to be real
lied, in full vigor and strength.
