T am awfuIly fired, and. win confess, half asleep. as I write, I must mention very enjoyable visit to Nudes circulating li- brary-that enormous place that we have all read about with so much interest and concern. An original man was Mudie-the father of all our circulating libraries wandered at my own sweet will through the establishment, and picked up famil- far volume, and often a loved friend, here and there, and with them were always as- sociated sweet thoughts of home in the far-away land. But l was always running into some little book store down on the Strand, away up in Cheapside, or down In Paternoster Row, where so many are con gregated together, just to nod to volumes from home, who, like myself, were stran- gers in strange land; or just to say "Howdy dol" to some English friends of mine One little volume of poems l chanced to find, entitled Weeds and Flowers" by a young poet, Mir. ". Luther Longstaff, is having a ready sale in London, and is, I notice, favorably reviewed by the leading daiIles. One little poem caught my fancy, and I give you a few of the verses.
 A KISS.
 The thing that infants play with, Repay with--are gay with,
 And charm their grief away with
 A kiss, an aTtless klssl
 The thing that childhood toys With, Cloys with, annoys with;
 The thing It tells it's joy with
 A kiss, laughing kiss.
 The thing that girlhood chooses with, Confuses with, amuses with;
 The thing affection oozes with
 A kiss, laughing kiss.
 The thing death speaks to some with, Makes numb with, strikes dumb with; The thing God calleth "Come" with
 kiss, a silent kiss.
 The young poet seems to possess origi- nality of thought and expression, and alto gether his book of poems deserves success.

 In Mill Near Tuscaloosa

Tuscaloosa, August 2S.-(Special) )-Friday afternoon, in the Searcy rope and yarn mills, on Binion creek, fifteen miles north of Tuscaloosa Mamie Skelton. the 14-year- old daughter of B. F. Skelton, was struck by lightning and instantly killed.
 It was about o'clock in the afternoon when from the meeting of three angry clouds storm burst and a stroke of light ming struck the smoke stack It ran along the heating pipe and went over every piece of machinery in two stairs of the mill. The young girl was leaning against the heating pipe with her left leg touching it and her hand on the machine.
 This created circuit, and when light ming hit the pipe she fell. She was dead when her companions reached her, with teeth elenched and left foot raised from the floor and rigid as If frozen. Her flesh turned purple in a short while. Others in the building were shocked.
 Superintendent J. P. Tilley, who was at one of the machines, was knocked about ten feet He recovered speedily from the shock and by prompt action extinguished fire in both stairs of the mill.

tober at 5.es. The expecting of a bearish circular from Neill, it seems. has had moro effect than all the appalling reports con- corning the growing crop which have been placed before the public by the govern ment, the southern press and by private advices. The influence that a word from this old man has on the cotton trade is certainly remarkable. and it's for this req son that we are holding him up to his ad- miring friends and followers so that they may have a good look at the idol of their hearts who will yet lead them astray by his fairy tales. The statement which he is about to issue will, we think. place great stress on the present visible supply, and the possible wants of the spinner. thereby having little to say on the positive size of the crop now being marketed, as there i5 no possible way of his retreating from his grand stand play of August 12

 New York, September 12--rhe fact that very few Texas correspondents are claim ing any benefit from rain in that state is regarded by some people as significant to people familiar with the plant in that state that the recuperative period has past and are confident that the crop will not be over .000 and possibly prove much smaller. Sellers have shown much less dis position to operate of late Buying op all breaks and selling on all bulges is consid- cred advisable just now. There are many more believers in a very short crop than Tn a crop around Il 900 900 bales. The course of the market this morning was & decided disappointment. Cables failed to respond to our improvement the bureau figures yesterday and sellers have more sufficiently numerous to break prices at the opening 6 to points. Every section of the south reports fair weather, with temperature Go to IS. The weekly government report re- ferred to premature opening, damage by lccal rains and drouth and prospects of poor top crop in Texas. Georgia and South Carolina. Still tine trade held aloof and failed to give support. Two firms were cons spicuous for selling and buying today and prices halted most of the afternoon. Fair weather was indicated all over the south. Our spot prices were 1-16c lower. Port re- ceipts were 32 900 against 16.O00 last week and IA 000 last year. Closed to 10 lower on general liquidation.

Gov ernment report of 70.9 as regards total crop indicates about 490, ,0e0 900 bushels. Report is considered quite builish and was sur prise to the trade. The movement in the northwest is on large scale, and large proportion of the receipts are from the old crop ClearanceS were about JO0,0o0. Forty-five loads reported for export; con- firm ten Bradstreet's shows an increase of 4935. .0O0 which was unexpected. There was some buying by foreigners. New York and the southwest on the way up; local shorts covered freely. The buying was due to bullish government report. but at the close the advance was practically all lost the market closing weak. It would seem that as long as farmers will part with their holdings which are adding to the large stocks already accumulated the trade will continue to show apathy.

Murphy & Company.s Stock Letter

Birmingham, Ala. September 12.-In view of the rather unsettled condition of yesterdays stock market it was to have been expected that the announcement of the sudden death of MT. Vanderbilt would have exerted some further disturbing ef- feet upon speculative sentiment However, while the stock market opened active and weak the declines in the early dealings were little more extensive than those that appeared in the same period of the trading yesterday New York Central. the stock which naturally would have been the most seriously affected by Mir. Vanderbilt's death, was very steady, it being generally recognized that the deceased capitalist had long since withdrawn from active business and from the management of the proper
 ties with which his name was identified. and his death soon ceased to exercise more than sentimental effect. The trading in the main was dominated as was the case yesterday by general apprehension fin the monetary situation and such liquidation as appeared in the market was plainly att tributable to that circumstance. The de- cline In the grangers and other standa I'd issues extended to one point and over with dealings exceedingly active. St. Paul con- tinued to play affected by the misgivings as to whether an ex-dividend would be de- clared The rally in the last hour was made by traders oH; evidence that iiquida- ton has Seen checked for the time being. Reports of combina tions by bull interests were rumored but not supported Traders thought the rally might go little Further but that market would be down again to- morrow.
