FIFTY YEARS IN ONE CHOIR.
Three Men Who Gan Sing Well at 70
 Have Given Up Their Places.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 After having sung for fifty years in the same church choir continuousuly, missing very few services, Daniel Schaaber, Pacob Schaalber and James Hill, of Reading, Pa. sent in their resignations because their voices were possibly not good as the large congregation had reasonable right to expect. These singers are now nearly 70 years old but are still young and active in mind and body and they still can sing in a manner that is wonderful to those who hear them The brothers Schaaber say that the vocal orgas of the throat hold out well, possibly better, than the eyes, ears, arms or limbs of the human bory if they are properly exercised and taken care of They experience no difficulty in singing right along with the younger folks in the choir. but they now desire to quite because they . imagine the congregation may want to hear new voices. - sfI
 They have sung to five generations in the church and have kept it up regularly that thousands of people have been more than surprised. The Shaabers sang tenor and MT. Hill bass. esides singing in The choir for half a century of years they also sang at church festivals and private gath erings of the congregation, always without charge, as the church had no paid choir, and the singers ofiiciated as a labor of love. Being comfortably situated in life, they desire no reward from the church.
 The church officers held a meeting, re- fused to accept their resignations and con- sented to relieve them of active service in the choir, but reserving their places long as they live so that whenever they wish to occupy seats in the choir gallery their cha IFS will be there and their services will be gladly received. The semi-centennial of their connection with the choir will be eel ebrated on December 2S next, and the occa- sion promises to be notable. The brothers Shaaber in reality joined the choir fifty four years ago. Daniel Shaaber was leader of the choir for thirty years.

Cotton Letter

By leased wire to T. G. Hewlett Agent.
 Birmingham, January 5.-Inactivity was tho cotton exchange today. Liverpool showed considerable strength, closing near ly point up with sales of 12,000 bales, and pert receipts were also favorable to the bulls, being 1000 less than last year, but for the moment the speculative crowd in all street has it's attention diverted to the stock market and as we have formerly ad- vised, while we think cotton is purchase on all declines, we look for no immediate activity until stocks become quiet. The closing was unchanged to 1 point better than last sales yesterday.

The market continued on such broad scale that the fear of the bursting of some of the manipulated bubbles seems to be ignored and gerat stress is still laid upon the coming large disbursements which must seek investment in stocks. The clos ing prices, especially for trust stock was about the best for the day and indications are that they will all open higher tomor row.

New York Cotton Marke eh.


 New York, January 5.-After opening steady at an advance of 304 points, which proved to be the highest level of the ses- sion, the cotton market became quiet and remained so, while maintaining a generally firm undertone. The trading was for the most part local. Shorts covered early, fol- lowing cables which were as good as gen. erally expected, and the continued activity in spot at Liverpool, today's sales reach ing 12,0OO bales, including 10000 bales American, while the future list at Liver pool netted 1-64d advance. At the same time exports were seen to be running to heavy figures compared with receipts. There was some investment demand, but not enough of it to prevent prices from easing off 1G2 points under a strong move ment for the most part in the nature of realizing on long contracts At no time, however, could the market be called weak. The market was finally steady at net advance of points.
