vouring hunger's ban,
And no reeking, filthy garnet shall be
called the home of man;
Then all men shall count as riches
naught but perfect love of thee,
And the homes shall be in number as
the sands of yonder sea.
Chorus
Is that perfect dream translated; read
the symbol from on high;
Yes, all yes, that sign was written-see
it flash from yOnder sky;
See it spread like wings of morning as
it dissipates the gloom;
There is room for Gods own people
hallelujah! there is ROOM

TaIbott X Palmer's Cotton Letter

(By Private Wire to Talbott & Palmer
 New York, October 10.-The early market displayed irregularity and sensitiveness. It started fairly active at 5 to points higher, but the gain was short lived and was lost in quick order on an apparently combined effort of various clements, including big exporters in the lead, to sell literally and at low figures. Uncertainty as to the bu- reau figures at noon was a hindrance to very active trading. Germans were sellefs at times, and a reported bearish circulaF by Nell scared off buyers. Spot sales at Liverpool, 10000 bales. The bureau showed 62.4 condition, compared with 6S.5 last month and 75.4 last year. The figures faiT- ed to inspire the market. Liquidation kept up on very free scale most of the dag. Bulls regarded the bureau as very encour- aging, inasmuch as Texas reported 5G com dition, which is 1 less than in 1896. The mixed feeling in the trade was reflected II, the southern spot markets, some of which were higher and others lower. Interior re- ceipts for the half week at leading towns were 131, 900 bales, against 161, 900 last year. On the whole there was more disposition than usual to get out. Spots here were 1-16 lower Futures closed to lower.

LITTLE VARIANCE
  IN COTTON MARKET But Few Changes Followed the Midday Announcement. OUTSIDE BUYING ORDERS Slump on the English Change Sent Prices to Below Mondays Clos ing Figures-Bullish News
OUTSIDE BUYING ORDERS

New York, October 10.-The statement of
 the department of agriculture came to
 hand today but failed to disturb the pre-
 conceived ideas of the bulls or the bears.
 In fact, the market did not vary as much
 as 1 point following the announcement at
 midday, this being a most unusual occur
 renee There was a goodly number of out
 side buying orders in evidence at the open
 ing and these, in connection with the LiV-
 e.pool advices, sent prices up to points
 on the call, but after few moments of
 firmness prices went off rapidly to below
 last nights figures, under heavy liquidation
 and bad slump in the English market
 From then until midday both sides gave attention almost solely to the strengthening
 up of struggling accounts, preparatory to
 unlocked for features in the bureau re-
 port.
 The announcement that the condition of the crop October 1 was 62.4 per cent. as against 6S.5 on September 1 and 75.4 October 1, 1898, was received in a most matter-of- fact way almost with indifference, all though the trade had been keyed up to a high pitch of excitement under the impress sion that something was in store. In the afternoon the market was irregular and spasmodicaly active. Prices, however, kept within narrow limits. The close was barely steady with prices net 1 point higher to points lower. The crop, statistical and other news from the belt was generally bullish but exerted little influence, having been discounted and overshadowed by ideas on the bureau question.

 By Private Wire from the New York Sun.
 New York, October IDA general and pronounced rise in prices in the stock mar ket followed the announcement from Wash ington that the secretary of the treasury would anticipate the payment of the inter est on the government debt due November l. The secretary has followed practically the only course open to him to relieve the situation, as purchases of government bonds in the open market would tend to disturb not only national bank circulation, but also government deposits with the banks. Nat nrally, todays money market was unaf- fected by the circumstance noted, and money on call ruled weh above the legal rate throughout the day. The London mar ket also showed a good rise in all its di- visions. Foreign houses bought a small amount of stocks here and the evidence, of the bettering situation in South Africa were effective in the strong opening of the local market. It was not, however, until tine treasurer's announcement that the mar- ket developed material strength and even then it's course marked by some ir- regularity. The advances that followed averaged we'll over 1 per cent. throughout the list, and more pronounced recoveries were scored in some of the more mercurial issues. line imduatrials advanced on large dealings, and noteworthy strength was shown by the Am r-ican Smelling stocks and the So-called S eel industrals Brook lyn Rapid Transit and the other local trac- ton issues were also firm. While the more rapid advances in the market appeared to reflect the covering of shorts, the antici- pated relief in the money market through the treasury's action was followed by an increase in the commission business.

tingushed the CenoZoic age In the
seas were reptiles, fishes, and turtles OF
gigantic proportions, armed for Of

oysterlike bivalves, with enormous
shells. 3 or feet in diameter, the meat
of which would have fed many people.

His subj aet was Washington, and
the following extract from his addle ss
will be recognized as not only a bean
tifnl tribute to but also Just analysis
of the character of the father OF his
country:
Washington was possessed of III ,
genius of common sense. He had not
the fancy nor imagination of the poet
or the orator: his practical dgment
took the place of that talent which
often dazzles and bewilders but il inca
pable Of admin, eiing to the sub stan
tial interests of large communities.
He was as jIst ss Cato, without
his austerity: as brave az Caesar,
without his sinister ambition. OF the
social amenities he was the master.
Hospitality was the rule and daily hab-
it of his home and life. He WIS a
only of the rights but of the sens bill
ties of others; he was opposed to
slavery and his intercourse with these
whom the law had made his bonds
men was chars cterized with thong htful
kindness. He served his country
without pay, shared the hardships of

cold and hungry sentinel, surrendered
to him his scanty meal and
stood guard in his ste ad while he ate.
With his great physical strength he
had the delicacy of woman; he di-
rected that his correspondence with
his wife be destroyed. thus signify ing
his UNIV Ilingne ss that the ingenious
words of love intended for the eyes of
me alone should be the subject of the
die curiosity or rude Jest of others.
He was a gentleman. not the first /;
there were Greeks before Epaminon-
das nor the last. We have them wi b
US yet; they do not crowd any walk iu
life, but are found in all its honorable
vocations, but Lo man ever bore the
