SPECULATION Is
NOT 50 ACTIVE
Cotton Movement Frequent and
Extensive.
THE CABLES FROM LONDON
Afterwards Drop of from to IL Points
is Recorded, and Full Pledged
Bull Market Soon Supplants
the Initial Weakness

New York, October 3.-The pendulations
of prices on the cotton exchange today
were almost as frequent and extensive as
recorded yesterday, but speculation was
somewhat less active. At the start sentiT
ment favored a decline, inasmueh cable
news depicted pronounced weakness in the
English market. Our market responded at
the opening with a drop of to y points.
The decline uncovered numerous limited
buying orders and full fledged bull move
ment soon supplanted the initial weakness.
Prices jumped to a level of a point or so
above the close of last night, only to weak
en- again on sudden drop in the Liverpool
market. A wild scramble to unload sent
the market off with a rush some Is to 20
points. Subsequently there was a period
of reeuperation, but the market failed to
reach the high figures touched shortly after
the call. The slump dislodged large
amounts of pyramided cotton and induced
more reliant bears to go ahead and get
short
The news from the cotton belt was bull
ish, and there was no concerted efforts on
the part of bears to force the market.
Later in the day the investment bought
vigorously ON all weak intervals Europe
sold early but later became an active
buyer New Orleans traded on both sides
and American spinners bought the far
months At the close the market was
STEADY, with prices to 10 point net lower.

Two Interesting Paris Beggara


Two interesting beggars were arrest
ed yesterday in the streets of Paris.
One of them, Father Christmas" (Pere
NoeD is a we'll known character of the
Halles quarter Pere Noel is so years
of age, and owes his name to the pos
session of a flowing white beard reach
ing to his waist. He was much incens-
ed when accused of being a vagabond,
and in language more academic than
the cOmmissary OF police himself was
capa Bile of using he pointed out that
the policemen had committed an abuse
of authority" He produced tWOpence
halfpenny, and referred the magistrate
to a circular of NJ. Atthalin, laying
down that when a person possesses
sum of money for which he can obtain
shelter and food he is not a VagahOnd.
Father Christmas" secuted the idea
that he was beggar. He gave, he said,
lessons in history to Workmen in cheap
restaurants in exchange for his meals.
Father Christmas has a. curious his
tory himself. He was a justice Of the
peace in Paris, and he holds university
degrees for literature and science. He
was formerly very rich, but spent his
fortune IN leading a faSh1Ona Die and
fast life. After he was ruined he in
herited another fortune of 100000,
which lasted him just ten months.
Father ristmas''-Charles Bataille
by his proper name-haS been sent to
the old age retreat at Nanterre.
The second arrest was that of an old
woman found begging in the Rue de
Dunkerque. At the police station it
turned out that she was born on Feb
ruary %, 1893 Her first husband died
in 1897. her second was killed in 184s.

ROLLED ABARREL.
CFrom the New York sun.1

EFrom the New York Sun.1
There's something barbaric about
lynchlng, as most people will agree,
said the man with a broken nose, but
can easily name two worse things.
One is rolling a man around in a barrel
and the other is q coat Of tar and
feathers. In my foolish young days
/ arrived at a town in southern In
diana to find the people all excited over
several arrests for robbery. A family
named Black, consisting of man and
wife and grown-up son, had been
caught and made to confess to many
thefts. Instead Of putting them on trial,
the people had determined to apply tar
and feathers and walk 'em out of town.
1 had no objections so far as the men
were concerned, but when it came to
the woman constituted myself her
champion and declared that they must
walk over my dead body first. For
about five minutes I was a hero. Then
about a dozen men grabbed me and
hustled me into a room, and after the
Blacks had been disposed of according
to programme I was brought out for
punishment Plenty of tar and feathers
were left, but the crowd wanted a
change, and it was decided that I
should have the barrel exercise. They
got out and unheaded a big cider barrel,
dropped me into it and replaced the
head, and then all was ready.
4 was inclined to look upon the pro
ceedings with contempt. I had never
been rolled in a barrel, and so 1 had no
idea Of the sensations. They first
klckeQ II along the wide, unDaVed
street, and it had not rolled over more
than twenty times when I was sick of
my job.
After they had enjoyed themselves
for quarter of an hour I was praying
for death to hurry up. 1 dimly reme1n-
ber that after they got tired of the
football work in the street they rolled
the barrel up a long hill, and then let
it go kiting down. You talk of sea
sickness; but there is no comparison.
Aside from the feeling of nausea, / was
Jared, jolted and bruised from head to
heels, and in one of the bumps had my
nose broken. I was unconscious when
they finally took me out, and for
week was little better than a dead
man. It was weeks and weeks before
I got the revolving motion out of my
head and could walk straight, and to
this day I can't see a grindstone re-
would have been far more merciful to
hang me up by the neck"
But about the tar and feathers ?'
was asked.
''Weli, / met the old man Black
about two years later, and he still
smelled of the tar. He told me that it
took a. weeks work with soap and wa
spots were left which couldn't be got
off, even when rubbed with a brick. He
didn't feel the degradation so much, but
what hurt his feelings was that he had
been obliged to put in more work on
that tar than in all his life before. He
had tried the barrel racket once, and
he thought it shade worse than tar,
but he had no words of sympathy with
me. On the contrary, he said if I
hadn't mixed in thethree of them would
probably have got off with a ride on a
rail"

erappling For a Lost Gable.

(From the Philadelphia Record.)
To find the broken ends of a North At
Iantic cable is by no means an easy mat
ter, according to the reports brought to
this city by the British steamship Man
haitian. from London, and the Red Star
steamship Switzerland, from Antwerp
Both vessels recently spoke the cable snip
broken ends. The Nina has been unable
to locate the break, although its approx
mate position was known before she start
ed on her cruise.
June "a in latitude 42.l1, longitude 51.4S.
and the Manhattan on May Is in latitude
IS. 04, longitude $780,
The electricians on the Nina reported
to the Manhattan that the break was over
49, 600 feet, or about three miles, below the
surface of the sea, and that they had not
yet been able to pick up the broken ends
The point at which the cable parted was
in midocean and at one of the deepest
spots in Atlantic The officers of the
R1inia claimed that it was the greatest
depth at which the dTags had ever been
put overheard from any vessel to Crap
pie the ends of a lost cable.
The break in the cable. which crosses
Cured last winter and it has been Of no
use since that time. It was a first thought
that the wreck of a sunken vessel had

during the street car strike, and if
these passions are not appeased they
will grow by that on which they feed.
1t is a bad omen, too, that the last
appeal to military force is made only
to suppress and punish the outrages
committed by laborers and the en-
ployed. If they do not desist, they are
to be shot.
OF course it is wrong to wreck cars
with dynamite, to beat and MAIN scabs,
to cut trolley lines, destroy corporate
property and subject the public to in
convenience. Such acts are crimes that
deserve punishment, and if committed
by combinations too powerful for the
courts, should be summarily dealt with
by the soldiers of the Republic.
But did it ever occur to Governor
Bushnell to call out the militia to sup
press the trusts that have for so many
years insolently defied the laws of Ohio,
successfully resisted the mandates of
its courts and inflicted irreparable in
juries upon multitudes of its citizens2
If a poor devil of a striking labOrer
resists the laws, call out the militia, by
all means and kill him. But if a swol-
len corporation bribes courts, laughs at
justice, oppresses the weak and robs
the helpless, let us put g plank against
trusts in the next platform and ask
for a contribution!
We applaud Governor Mount for
having his troops ready to shoot the
rioters at the coal mines, but what
about the window glass trust that took
sand innocent victims and doubled the
price of sunlight in the laborer's cabin,
that it might pay dividends upon thirty
millions of fictitious capitai2
And what does Governor Mount pro-
pose to do with the trust that has rails
ed the price of nails that held together
the boards of the laborer's pine coffin
from SIPS to $2.70; or with the rail-
roads that have raised freight rates
this week from 25 to 40 per cent be-
tween Chicago and the seaboard, in or
der to increase the profits Of the farm
ers of Indiana?
How would it do to call out the mill
tia to enforce the laws in the case of
Captain Oberlin NJ. Carter. a thief con-
victed by court martial of stealing ST.
700 600, and sentenced to dismissal, to
a fine of $5,0 600 and a. term in the peni-
tentiary? He has resisted the presi-
dent, Secretary Alger, the attorney gen
eraI ard the court martial till his
bondsmen and the contractors are safe,
and still draws his pay and dimes at his
club.
But perhaps the new secretary of war
will want to give the case another hear
ing before making any recommends
ton.
