The Cotton Markets.
NEW YORK COTTON MARKET


New York, June 14.-SDeculative OPP
erations in cotton futures were con-
Quoted within conservative lines, trad
ers having to decide between bearish
crop accounts and bullish reports re-
Snrding the outlook for the manufac-
turcd article. The latter were generally
favorable. Private cables were parti-
cularly encouraging as to the outlook
for business with the Far East The
market opened with hesltating move
ment. resulting in an advance of l
point to a similar decline on the first
call. Subsequently the market took a
generally lower level, but on the weak
est interval showed a loss of only 3
points. There was no outside support
given to the market and the favorable
crop advces from the cotton belt gave
local bears the upper hand most of the
time. Spot cotton in the South was re-
ported in good demand at former prices
on foreign, as we'll as domestic account,
which added TO the prevailing precau-
ton of the bears. Trading dragged
particularly in the afternoon and the
market was finally steady at net l
point higher TO point lower.

Warm Time for While.

warm Time Tor a While.
The inability of the coFored public schools
to accommodate the large number of chill
dren who apply 10 them for admission is
generally wei known. AT the same time
there are some of the colored people who
do not seem to understand this condition
of affairs.
This inability on the part of some of the
would-be patrons of the schools to appre-
ciate the situation got Principal j. c. But
Ter of the West Broad street school in hot
water for while last week. The adms-
sion cards for the colored schools were
issued by the principals at the schools,
each principal issuing cards for his own
school There was big rush for admis-
sion cards at these schools with the re-
suit that all the vacant places were filled
before the end of the first day
Principal Butter issued about $50 cards
and then announced to the crowd still in
waiting that no more cards would be is
sued there was no more room in the
school. one woman who had arrived fate
was very persistent in her determination
TO secure card for her son, and grew an
cry when the principal informed her that
he would he unable TO comply with her re-
quest. The woman either could not or
would not understand.
Il know you is got cards" she ex-
claimed. Don't tell me you amt got no
cards. Don't | see UNI on your desk
Principal Butler tried to explain but the
woman would not have it, Dat black ras-
cal don't want TO let no more children in
de schools" she exclaimed.
The womans outcries excited the crowd.
which was inclined to take her part and
things were looking sQualy for the prin-
cipal A policeman had 10 be called to
dispense the crowd which had grown quite
threatening. Because the principal had a
surplus of unused cards they seemed to
think he was not acting squarely in giving

terday at both services, it being the first
Sunday since the pastors return from his

At the night service DR.. Jordan began
a series of sermons upon the epistle of
the Apostle Paul to the Romans, dwelling
especially upon the kind and affectionate
manner in which the apostle addressed
his fellow disciples and co-workers, and
the personal interest which he exhibited in
them as shown by the number to whom
he sent special salutations.
DR. Jordan was given a warm welcome
by the members of his congre cations who

W oman of the HaIf-WorId Courted
Death with Poison.

A woman known to the half world as
Lottie. but whose last name has been lost
in the variety Of the aliases she has as
sumed during the last year or two. at
tempted suicide last night by taking lau-
danum. Fortunately, OF unfortunately.
she was detected ia the act Of swallow
ing the poison. and the prompt exerions
of a physician served TO save and pre- Hong
her NE.
The woman lives ia the house at Price
street and York lane, of which she was
said 10 he the proDrietress. During the
day she had manifested more or less lack
Of serenity and good humor and was
moody. gloomy and respondent To those
who cared to listen 10 her tale, she ex-
planned that she had not recovered from
the effects Of lovers quarrel, and that
she was convinced she was no longer loved
for herself alone II was apparent to those
blessed with the gift Of fairly good eye
slht that this might well have been the
truth
Besides this, runs the story, she had
grown weary Of the life she has been
leading and determined 60 end it. Its sor-
did pleasures, its alternate periods of fore
ed gayety and maUdlin repentance, had at
last palled upon her, and she was tired
Of the whole business. Convinced that, at
least, nothing IN the hereaf er could be
worse than the i she was leading and its
ate ndant miseries IL occurred to her that
laudanum offered q safe and nvenieHt
mode Of ending IL an and that the poison
was almost al hand. All that was recess
sary was to send to the drug store and get
IA mo rrraua cha oh
though. was a little negro girl and the
druggist would not sci her the poison.
When she returned to her mistress with
this tale of disappO ntment the woman de-
terminsd to, and did, go herself She got
the laudanum without trouble and with
out having to answer disturbing and in
convenient gu, stions. She bought an
ounce vial fun, ard before she had re-
entered her house had swa lowed the whole
of it.
She did this when she thought she was
unseen and probably selected the place
outside The door because she feared she
would not have an opportunity 10 swallow
the poison after she had entered the house.
As matter OF fact, though, she was seen
and 10 this her life is due. The
persons by whom the attempt at self-de-
structiOn was witnessed notified those in
the house and the police barracks From
the latter place a telephone message was
sent to the office of Dr. Levi, relating the
circumstances and asking that he respond
in a hurry.
DR.. Levi responded and by the admins
tration of enletics and a little violent ex-
orcise soon brought the woman around to
the point where she could rest quietly.
After some time she apparently recovered
from the effects of the poison. and il is
thought that she viii get over it in good
shape. 1t is 10 a conjunction of favorlng
circumstances that the woman owes her
life The amount of the poison she took
would be almost sufficient TO XII an TX,
and had st not been that she was seen to
take it. help would soon have been render

WE'RE REAL TURTLE EGGS.
How Hubby Lost so Bet on His
Wffe's Cooking.

A story is going the rounds about how a
well-known citizen lost ten dollars by his
wife's good cooking. He had invited a
friend to his house to lunch. and the menu
had. among other good things, mock turtle
soup. 1t was excellent and the guest said
it Was the real and not the imitation. and
pointed to the eggs in it in proof of his
contention.
The host insisted that the yellow gobes
were the connection of his wife who knew
just how to make the whole OUTFIT The
guest persisted that they were the product
of the turtle and offered to wager ten dol
lars that they were, though the soup might
be mock.
The host said he didn't want to win his
money. but the guest insisting, Mrs. 5.
was called in to prove that her dear hubby
was right. Much TO his surprise, however,
she decided in favor of the guest. She had
bought some turtle eggs from a passing
street huckster and put them in the soup
so to make it look like the real article. She
said the eggs were turtle eggs, and Mr..
S. lost his bet
