New York, March 81. - Cotton
trading today was slow and feature
less, although there was more dispo-
sition to buy than to sell. The Cuban
question on one hand and uncertain
ty as to contemplated acreage and
probable weather conditions after
planting the new crop combine to
produce an apathetic condition. A
renewal of good buying at Liverpool
would meet with prompt response
on this side. Manchester yarns in
buyers favor; cloths slow. The
market shows 1rmness despite the
small trading, and the feeling at the
close was rather more cheerful. The
last sales at about Saturdays final
figures. Port receipts 10, ,26o against
1880 last year.

1t is absolutely true that the senti-

the country is infinitely better off
than under the free trade and free

FLAIED BY BARBARIANS.
An Indiana Boys Adventure in New
Mexican Wilds.

Kokomo, Ind, April 16.-Glen Hunt, son
of Councilman E. S. Hunt of this city,
who is now travelling in the far west for
his health, had a thrilling experience a
few days ago, the particulars of which he
wrote to his parents.
While touring through a wild and. remote
region of New Mexico with a companion
he ran into a semi-barbarous tribe of peo-
pie known as ''Penitantes," whose custom
is to do penance for sin committed and
ward off evil spirits by scourging them
selves with cactus whips, decorating their
bare backs with broken glass, carrying
heavy crosses and other severe fortunes.

After my hands were tied behind my

an expression that reminds one more than
ever of her versatile father.

left here fifteen years ago." said Miss
Field. 'Of course 1 cannot remember
much about the city, but 1 have always

ROBBERY OF THE DEAD
Must Have Been Going on in
Kansas Charitable InStitu-
tiOns For Years.

Treasurer P. H. Dolan of the state
board of charities has deposited in the
state treasury $3.50. which will be disposed
OF as the legislature may direct. The
money has been accommodating at the state
charitable institutions and belonged to in
mates who have died, and whose heirs
the authorities have been unable to find.
This sum has accumula ted during the
past year. 1t is in safety deposit
box, enclosed in envelopes bearing the
names of the dead persons to whom the
money at one time belonged. 1t is curl
coins which are undoubtedly valuable ow-
ing to their great age. Another contains
a small sum of mutilated currency and
coin.
This action on the part of Mr.. Dolan
Was ar surprise: 1t was astonishing when

to the credit of previous boards. 1t is
The question now is. What has become
Of the money which has accumulated at
the various institutions under the control
of the board of charities during the past
% years? It was suggested by the state
treasurer that some of the former officers
and assistant officers at the asylums and
schools of correction should rise and ex-
plain where the money has gone.
If money accumulated during the past
year, then it has accumulated in previ

II suppose the other fellows got away
with it, said Treasurer Hef1ebower.
Upon being asked for his opinion of the
matter, Governor Leedy said:
am not surprised that there ShOuld
be a question raised in reference to this
matter. The fact is that many of our
predecessors in office are now doing bust
ness as manipulators and self-styled man
ayers, and they do not confine their loot

matter for them to show to the claimants
that the deceased lunatic had no money

be secured showing the contrary.

EMMA GOLDMAN'S WORK.
Famous Female Socialistic Agitator
in Denver.

Denver, April 16.-Miss Emma Goldman,
the New York socialistic agitator, famous
the world over for her conspicuous fig
uring in the Haymarket riots in Chicago
in 1884, when anarchists reused the coun-
try to high pitch of excitement, arrived
in Denver this morning. She comes to
deliver a series of lectures on socialistic
subjects, and to continue the agitation of
the radical social views that only the last
few years have seen so rife.
The great female agitator is by no means
the individual one at first pictures her in
the mind by reason of her views and as
sOciates in the last fifteen years. Her
matronly physique was attired this morn
ing in neat fitting bicycle suit of gray
ish brown goods, with jauntily creased
brown Fedora for a headpiece. A thin
veil shaded two large round gray eyes
that shone through pair of noSe-glaSSes
with marked brilliancy.
Miss Goldman would say but a few
words about herself and declined to dis
cuss topics now absorbing many nations
She said she had come to Denver to tell
a few things the people did not know and
to agitate her greatest hobby, that of So
cialiStic equality.

WHERE Is SCARLETT?
He is an Odd Fellow and They Are
Looking for Him.

G. G. Scarlet, an assessor of Belvi-
dere, Kiowa county, Kansas, it is
thought, is insane. He disappeared
from Belvidere this week and but little
trace can be found of him. 1t is
thought that he started toward Topeka.
The last heard of him was at Harrington
where he left his assessment books.
D. w. Kent, of Topeka, grand secretary
of the 1. o. 0. F. today received the fol-
lowing letter from L. H. PARCELS, sec
rotary of Belvidere Lodge No. 478, 1. o.
o. F., in regard to it: "One of our
brothers, c. G.. Scarlet by name, is sup
posed to be insane and he has disap-
peared. We are going to try to find
him, and ask your aid. His description
is as follows: Medium height and build,
dark hair, blue eyes and light mustache.
He wore blue clothes, tan overcoat and
light brown crush hat. He has been
very sick with grippe and he started
out to assess before he had gotten en-
tfrely well. It is supposed he left Gull
Hson, Kansas, over the Rock Island,
for his assessment books were found at
Harrington and no further trace Of him
can be found
