ONE WAY TO FOOL FOOTPADs.
But In This Instance There Was No
FoOtpad to BE Fooled.

From the Philadelphia Record.
This is the confession of a timid young
man. He was calling in a remote section
of West Philadelphia one night last week,
out near Forty-ninth street station, and it
was very late when he started for home.
He had $50 in crisp gTeenbacl1s in his pock-
cts. West Philadelphia after midnight in
that locality Is rather a Lonesome place,
and it is not to be wondered at that the
timid young man quickened his pace when
he discovered that another man with his
coat collar turned up about his ears had
presistently followed in his footsteps TO
three blocks But the story can be best
told in the words of the timid young
man. whenever / walked fast he would
quicken his pace, and when I slowed up

his experience. my nerves are none 100

thoroughly convinced that my pursuer

stopped and looked back. The other man
stopped and seemed studying the archi-
tectural beauties of the neighborhood. I

one he was too drunk to remember. Later
ne confessed having stolen the wheel.

It was reported yesterday that a dozen

The residents of Isle of Hope have found
It impossible to keep oysters on the beds

beds have been almost completely ex-
hausted The negroes OF the island, aided
perhaps by a few worthless white men,
have committed these thefts, at a time
during the year when the absence of the
proprietors of the beds in the city made
the detection of the thieves a matter of
little apprehension to them and of great
difficulty to the officers of the law.
A gentleman who visited his summer
home al Isle of Hope yesterday said that
he found the place deserted, the usual

Talbott & parmer's Cotton Letter

By Private Wire from Fairchild X Hobson
 New Orleans, August 1.-The position of cotton seems to be we'll situated as indi- cated by the steadiness exhibited by the foreign market, the undercurrent of which appears to foreshadow a better market in the near future. Advies from Louisiana snow good crop results i'm the state. At any rate. 1t does seem that there is a bull under the chip, as the September and Oc- lober months are not being so readily of tered, as the lesson learned in the 1896 summer has not been forgotten, and with the demand for cotton for spinners and the good prices being obtained for cotton print goods there is no telling the exact outcome We are all watching for the government crop report and MT. Neill 5 estimate is also being impatiently waited Ter. The weather over the entire cotton belt Is clear and warm.
 Liverpool, despite light crop account, ar rival of new bales, etc., opened up one half sixtyfourth on futures, while spots remaining at fair demand at unchanged prices sales, 10,0G0 balos
 New Orleans started at 5.43 fer October. at which local prices ruled throughout the day. Spots closed quiet.
