NEW YORK COTTON MANI;

New York Sept. 2I.-The upward ten

conducted on Ner4 heavy lines and in
cluded all classes OF tho trade Aided by
weak Liverpool cables. The bear contin-

chased yesterday, and in tumblins prices

brought to q sudden end and replaced by
decentralization within tile FIRST half hour
and from that time on with scarcely n,
halt. prices climbed steadily upward The
TOP notch DcinS ~ points over the close OF

The upward movement following the
call resulted directly from very heavy

Late cables from the English markc,
recorded full response to cur rally.
The position of local shorts was made
additionally precarious by reports that
the crop movement was rapidly falling
off. The crop news was. anything but
satisfactory, while weather conditions
were not favorable to an early maturing

IN THE FAR EAST.

The grave of an unmarried woman in Turkey is often indicated by a rose carved in stone.
 Japan had a colder spring than at any time in 80 years. In the middle of May there was snow at Nikko and near Tollio.
 In Japan a man can live like a gen tleman on 2 60 a year. This sum will pay the rent of a house. the wages of two servants, and supply plenty of food.
 A recent government census shows that in India there are 5,846,759 girls between the ages of five and nine years who are wives, and over 17O,000 who are widows.
 The Burmese have a curious idea re- garding coins. They prefer those which have female heads on them, be- lieving that male coins are unproduc tive and do not make money.

BEFORE THE CAMERA.

No photographer can keep Della FoX's eyes on the ground. She always gazes upward when her picture is be- ing taken.
 Edna Wallace Hopper when she is photographed will take q smile, thank you. She insists also upon a dash of mischief in her eyes.
 Annie Russell has not a line of vanity ill her makeup. Miss Russell is blessed with a strong, expressive face and Miss Russell is sensible and pleasant, the photo men say.
 Lillian Russell is one of-the best sub jccts the photographer ever had. She does not think she knows more about the camera than the artist at the ma chine and allows him to pose her.
 Maude Adams is natural. She has nothing to conceal. nothing to affect. Her pictures are Maude Adams, and anyone who saw her would remember her without the usual necessity of a key in the shape of q name.
 Olive Redpath. of ''The French Maid" company, always makes her appear ance, it will be noticed, with the same old smile. The reason is that Miss Red path has pretty. pretty dimple in her cheek. You can never see 1t unless Miss ,Redpath shows her teeth.

About this time Hawkins discovered that he needed a new paint shop, so he bought the complete bow section and stood it on end in his yard, with the sharp cutwater pointing to the sky. In the starboard side of the deck he cut a door, and the forward hatch served nicely as q window.
 Hawkins then had q building 20 feet high that afforded him a large, com modious, well-ventilated room with an absolute watertight roof. The short bowsprit he makes use of as flagstaff, and that is what nest puzzles the voy aging yachtman when from the dis tarce he espies the clean, bright bow of a big boat sticking up from among the trees with the union jack flying from her stem.
 The Telka proved to be a fine, fast craft and was sold by AIr. Whitlock to Commodore Mollenhauer, at present owner of the crack flyer Presto, de- signed by Mosher. Later she was dis posed of to a St. Louis yachtsman. and all that now remains in the east of the old Caprice is the forward section which has caused so much comment among yachtsmen. Mir. Whitlock is at present the owner of the bark-rigged auxiliary Hildegarde, which was built as fore-and-aft schooner for his royal highness the prince of Wales.
 As soon as Mir. Whitlock got posses sion of the Hildegarde he began mak- ing a series of alterations in her quite as radical and startling as his metamors phosis of the hull of the Caprice. In this case, however, the alterations were made in the rig of the craft. From her original fore-and7aft rig she was trans formed to topsaiI schooner by put ting yards on the foremast. This rig satisfied MT. Whitlock for one season, but early last spring the rejuyenated Hildegarde was placed in commission as full-rigged bark, the mizzenmast being made from the 65-foot boom of her fore-and-aft mainsail.

CURIOUS LANDMARK.
It Never Fails to Excite the Inter-
 est of Yachtsmen. ~ <a
The Upturned Bow Section of the Yacht Caprice Is Now Paint ShOp-Why It Was Reduced to
 So Base a Use.

One of the most curious landmarks along Long Island sound, and one that never fails to excite the interest of the yachtsman who sees it for the first time, stands on the short of Northport bay. From the distance it looks like large Indian tepee. On d nearer view it is seen to be the bow of finely modelled yacht, apparently sticking right up out of the earth. Approaching closer, the puzzled yachtsman discovers its really a house.
 This freak structure, says the New York Sun, stands in Hawkins shipyard, overlooking the bay. Its history in wolves the story of novel and in genious operation on the old' steam yacht Caprice, by which she was trans formed into another boat and a build ing. The Caprice was 66 feet long and was purchased in 1895 by Benjamin M. Whitlock. who admired her particularly fine lines. He decided to have larger boat, however, and wanted her to be a duplicate in model of the Caprice. To insure this he determined to have the Caprice extended fore and aft, keep ing as much of the original midship sec tion of the hull as possible. He accord ingly engaged H. J. Gielow, the designer of fast-going steam yachts, to make the plans, and the work was done in Hawk ins' yard at Port Jefferson.
 The Caprice, which had formerly been the Henry Douglas, built in 1885 for Charles Schoen, of Philadelphia, was carefully taken apart. When this was completed the old yacht stood in three sections. From the midship section, only 12 feet long, a new yacht s5 feet over all was built and named the Telka.

 There will be no preaching in town on Sunday. Some time ago the breth- ren prayed to the Lord for rain, and the rain came and washed the church away. They have since decided that they won't interfere in these matters any more-Atlanta Constitution.

 In other particulars of fire equip ment, also the Germans are ahead of us. In Berlin the firemen wear water jackets, with double skin, which they are able to fill with water from the hose. If the space between the layers becomes overfilled, the water escapes through a valve at the top of the hel- met and flows down over the fireman like a cascade. thus doubly protecting him. The sm oke helmets. also German invention, are largely used throughout Germany. and in Austria, Holland and Italy. and are now on trial in some of our fire departments. The smoke hel- nets enable the wearer to breathe and to see with some degree of comfort in a smoke-laden atmosphere; some of the newer patterns contain a means of telephone communication leading out of the building and into the street be- low.
