COTTON.

New York, Sept. 16.-There
was better outlook in the market
this morning, an advance of 4 to 5
points was recorded the first hour,
after which the usual reaction of ,
to 8 points followed. The chief
factor in the city market was the
strength at Liverpool. While
there was no eagernesS to buy, at
the same tim6 there was no rush
to sell, and the pause there was
considered advantageous to the To-
cal bull element, who are always
disposed to go on more promptly
in the absence of discouraging ca
bles. Possibly the trade later on
will attach more Importance to
these than heretofore. Cables
were irregular 1-2 to l point de-
cline. Spots unchanged at 3 732,
sales 10000. Yarns at Manches-
ter in buyers favor. In cloths
there was some business at low
prices. A better feeling was dis
played all day and some parties
with good sources of information
are by no means assured of croI
of 10, 500, 900 which they consider
not excessive. Spots unchanged
at New York. The market CLOSED
l to 3 points advance from yester
days close.

assistants look up the subject-matter
in advance, thus greatly facilitating
the preparation Of club papers. The
board has also set apart an alcove to
be known as club corner for the spe-

and women. 1t Is filled with cases OF
books most called for by clubs-his-

work has been carried out In Cam

my club, a society Of about seventy
hve young men, who meet once fort
night to discuss economic and political
questions. The club issues prospec-
tus at the beginning of each of its
two terms, giving the subject to be
considered at each meeting, the sub
ject OF one or more essays and the
resolution upon which there will be a
debate. The librarian and his assiH..-

weeks preceding each meeting keep a
selected list Of books and back num-

the information needed on the subject

heard a hollow voice call to her. At
the same moment the lamp in her hand
went out. They thought at first the
girl was playing a bad Joke. They
hunted everywhere and discovered no
one. But the voice soon made itself
heard everywhere throughout the
house. It insulted and threatened.
Neither the mayor, the magistrates OF

escaped its invectives.

out Nine. Lebegue one day.

One day the little servant girl, Marie
Zobel. came running to her with the
news that the table in the sitting room
had been upset. At other times win
dows were broken. At another time a
lot of copper pennies fell into the sit
ting room, apparently from the ceiling.
The house at Valence-en-Brie became
celebrated.
Occultists like NJ Schnebelin and M.
Papus went there to combat the
"larve" by the struggle Of fluids" the
Influence Of magnetic points" and the
magic sword" All was worse than
useless until one day the Able Schne-
belin conceived the idea of intimidat-
ing the voice with gun. He shot at
the walls, the furniture, the moor, the
ceiling, the trees in the yard. the barn
and everything there was to shoot at,
until one evening he winged little
Marie Zobel by mistake, penetrated
her arm and shoulder with bird shot,
an accident that sent her to the local
hospital. Immediately the voice" was
hushed.
The Able Schnebelin and M. Papus,
as we'll as M and Nine. Lebegue and
the neighbors, protest vehemently
against the idea of a common fraud
perpetrated by the young girl. 1t Is
hard to believe that she could have
produced by any natural use Of her
voice the sepulchral tones. Accused

she was well frightened at the thought
OF death. she consistently denied all
knowledge Of the cause Of the strange
happenings. They happsUed. simply.
That was all she knew.
The house at Agsn was occupied by
o M. Felix, q widower, and his grown
up son. Here the mysterious spirit"
manifested itself In q room on the first
floor, where slept two little girls. one
the daughter and the other the or
phan niece Of M. Felix. At the begin
ming there was nothing heard but
scratchings on the woodwork, as II
done by hngernails. This continued
several nights. Then the spirit" in
tervened. In weak voice, more like
that Of a woman than a man, 1t de-
clared itself to be the father OF the
orphan, and called to her. It called
only at night. It had little to say, but
was strong In repetition. my little
juliet" Juliet" my poor child"
Often when the little girls were
watched there would only come low
means from the spirit" Then there
would be knocks and poundings. Ev-
cry one afiirms that these sounds did
not come from the direction of the
girls, but came from across the room
or from the ceiling. Here at Agen the
trouble lasted only twenty days; for
M. Felix tired Of 1t and moved out Of
the house. The noises ceased. The
little girls were placed in convent
boarding school. No sounds pursue
them now.
