COTTON MARKET
 OPENED STEADY With Decline of 1 to 3 Points on Account of English AdviceS. IMPROVEMENT WAS RAPID Stimulated by Demand for Shorts Fol lowing Washington Forecast for
 Rain Over Eastern Section
 of Cotton Belt.
IMPROVEMENT WAS RAPID

New York, February 21.-The cotton mar ket opened steady at a decline of 1Q3 points, as the English advices were unsat- isfactory, particularly as to the volume of spot sales at Liverpool, only 1000 bales, while receipts, at the ports overrun es- inmates, and there was also considerable selling for southern accounts to depress the market.
 Later, however, the feeling was decidedly stronger, on anticipation of tomorrow's holiday. Good investment buying devel- oped on a local disposition to believe that the crop movement will hereafter gradu- ally decrease. this view being the reserve of the view taken by foreigners and spin- ners, who, according to private cables, are holding off in anticipation of an increased movement to follow the generally clear and warm weather at the south and also re- lying on Neill's reiterated Il, ,75o,0 900 crop es- inmates. Last year 176,0OO bales came in week, now estimated at about 0y000 bales, which would make the deficit about 100000 bales, contrasted with last season, with some predictions pointing to a much larger deficit before the season ends.
 Yet the foreign contingent showed re- lenting attitude and remained decidedly bearish. The market improved rapidly in the afternoon, being stimulated by a de- mand for shorts, following Washlngton5 forecast for rain during the next "A hours over the eastern section of the cotton belt.

The baggage room will be moved
into the quarters which are now
used as mail room, and lunch
counter, with short order attach
ment, will be fitted up in the bag
gage room. The Santa Fe has
evidently changed its mind about
making whistling station of this
burg, as reported by the Denver
papers.
A dispatch from Topeka to the
Denver Times says: "Charles
Dyer, superintendent of the western
division of the Santa Fe, will short
ly sever his connection with that
road to take much better position
with one of the Colorado lines.
This fact, coupled with his desire
to remain in Colorado, is RESPONSE
BILE for Mr.. Dyer's refusal OF the
position of general superintendent
of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa
Fe to succeed NJ. Ressig Mr.
Dyer has been offered the position
and refused it. Mr.. Dyer's posi-
ton will probably be general
managership."
1t is given out from unquestioned
authority that the Santa Fe shops at
La Junta will be greatly enlarged
during the next six months, and
the force employed will be more
than doubled. The railroad con
templates concentrating its repair
shops along the line at Fort Madi-
son, Topeka, La unta, and Albu-
querque, and it said that the shops
at Ration will be moved to this
place before many months. New
buildings will be erected and the
facilities increased SO that every
department of railroad construction
and repair work can be carried on.
1t is said that the site for the new
buildings will be at the east end OF
the yards where extensive improve
ments are under way at present.

Reading in Bed.

Reading in bed used to be objected to in the old days on the score of danger, and one of the first injunctions of hostess to her guest was in refer ence to that prevalent but disQuieting practice. But in these days, when electric light has removed the risk of fire the question is one solely of it's benefit or harm to the prospective sleeper. The Medical Press and Cir cular is of the opinion that a short course of some standard author may act as composing sedative, but works which contain extremes of wit, melo- drama, comedy, tragedy or philosophy should be avoided. Like a good sup per, the reading should be neither too heavy nor too stimulating. On the other hand, most physicians are of the opinion that bed should be kept as much as possible for sleep. A habit of reading before putting out the light and closing ones eyes is apt to grow and become astyranny. and, like drugs the more you indulge in it the longer has the reading to be to have the de- sired effect It must be admitted, however, that the habit. to all but those fortunate beings who are asleep the moment their head touches the pillow, is very seductive, and that 3 good many peoples most serious read ing is done at that time.-London Tele- graph.

The third of series of four re- markable lectures was delivered at the hall yesterday afternoon at the usual hour for gospel meetings, 3 o'clock, by Rev. ]. l.. Cald well to q large and appreciative audience. The subject, "Intemperence and the Sins of the Flesh" was presented in it's br0adest sense and fOrcibly sent home to ail It was shown and proved c9nclusively that the indul- gence uf "intemperanee and sins of the flesh" was sin CD against the body as a physical body; @ sin against reason and conscience of man, causing him to become a sui eide to that extent of dethroning these two distinA uished faculties, thereby rendering him unable to glorify his Creator; (3) in that the religious life would he destroyed; (4) that the social life would be ire parably injured. The last lecture will be given on next Sunday. All men are invited.

One of queen vlotOria'u Mistakes.

Queen Victoria, some years ago. when she visited certain sister hood, desired the superior to show her the place just as an ordinary visitor, and not to treat her as a queen. The superior agreed and proceeded to con- duct her majesty all over the building. The queen was very much interested, but observed that wherever they went the sisters courtesied. At last she re- marked to her guide q thought l made you understand that I wished to be treated as an ordinary visitor? Why, then, is every one courtesying? 2 Pardon me, madam, replied the mother; you have been obeyed. The reverence shown by the sisters was not intended for their queen but for me, their superior"

They had one of those revolving check perforators with numbers on 1t from 0 to g. One man was spinning and acting as bank CT. while the others were laying bets on the numbers. They were operat- ing on the old wheei-of- fortune sys- tenn. got so deeply interested that I forgot all about the paper I had to serve until there was a sudden scat- tering of the group and disappear ance of the perforator and the cash on the board.

 Kehrer was stationed with a corps of forty men on the Machina wharf Up to June II he was in the best of health.

 Kehrer's death was the first among the marines and the second yellow fever death among American soldiers. The other was Patrick Twohig of the Second Engineers, who died in Mari anaQ ;n January.
