LIVERPOOL NEWS WAS BEAR FACTOR Operations in Cotton We're Not in Way of New Ventures NET LOSS OF 3 TO 19 POINTS Was the Days Record-Values Suffered Severely in the Forenoon from

NET LOSS OF 3 TO 19 POINTS

New York, July 11.-Operatons in cot ton today were hardly in the way Of new ventures, though at times short selling was attempted on a small scale. Values suffered severely in the forenoon from a semi-stam- pede of local holders and from predomi- nance of adverse influence. The opening was easy, with prices down to 16 points, and before the liquidating movement had run its course drop of Il to 24 points was recorded. Then came partial reaction on realizing by the timid shorts.
 The most important bear factor was easily the Liverpool news. This indicated a general selling movement of enormous proportions in that market. The govern ment report of yesterday afternoon for the week just ended and expectation of heavy imports from America during August and September were the causes aimed at by private cables as responsible for the slump. Tenders of spot cotton were urgent and large lines of long stuff were thrown over board on stop orders in the future market. Bear sentiment fiourished here on fine crop reports, exceptionally favorable weather ad- vices from the entire belt and confirma- ton of recent reports to the effect that cloth markets were heavy and inactive. Throughout the afternoon speculation was inclined to drag and prices showed insigni- ficant changes much of the time. The mar- ket was finally steady at a net loss of to 9 ooints.

A GOOD INVESTMENT.

A FEW years ago there were numerous persons
who strongly objected to any measure that had a
tendency of curtaiing the punishment of prisoners
as administered by the court Many of them un-
questionaby believed that such radical departure
from the time honored custom of treating criminals,
was not only foolhardy venture, but attempt to
further their interest and Indirectly license crime
This prejudice is rapidly diminishing, and those
who before opposed the enactment of such laws, are
now it's warmest supporters and speak of them in
glowing terms of praise and admiration. We have
just received the annual report from the Indiana
institutions which contains the following statistics
anent the parole law in that state
1.-THE total number of men paroled from April
l, 1897 to October 81, 1899, was 4O2. Of this
number 1872 have received final discharge, Ia have
ceased to report because their time has expired and
four have died; 81 are delinquent, "a have been re-
turned to the institution for violation of parole and
five have been sentenced for another ofense The
total number of that have proven unsatisfactory
is 80, or l4s per cent OF the number paroed There
were POP men still reporting on the last date above
mentioned.
''The following figures showing the earnings of
these who have been out upon parole, present
another aspect of the case which is equally impress
sve: They have received total Of wages earned in
the period above mentioned of $48, 80. One
hundred and ninety-six men received board for
total of 1852 weeks, valued at $l6656 The total of
wages earned and board received therefore, is 1884,
82OSO In addition, these men would have cost the
State $1l793 per annum each for their maintenance
if they had remained in the institution that u.s. they
would not only have failed to have earned the
amount above indicated had they remained in the
Reformatory, but would have cost the State $27,-

WORLDLY KNOWLEDGE.

WITH some people the belief is rooted that
worldly knowledge should be viewed with Indifference,
and those conversant with it avoided with especial
care But. in it's right sense the knowledge gained
from buffetng with the ups and downs of life is the
most valuable of all knowledge and withal the most
desirable. It is the knowledge of experience which
teaches facts When they are shorn of their en-
bellishments and theory they represent the
world it is and not it should be.
Education occupied as it is with the duty of
training the mental faculties, fails to supply the
essential need for successful career Tact discre-
tion the ability to maintain self-poise in an emer-
gency and that alertness of judgment which grasps
the situation when occasion calls for an unusual
display of ill-power, acquired from the world
and not from books or tutors. The nicetes of Ell
quette and the subtletes of expression have so
many shades of meaning that their mastery is the
study Of life time, and the school is man himself
Nothing is more common than the sight of
persons overwhelmed with confusion when sudden
call is made upon their powers. Having no orgi-
nality reserve force to draw FROM they always
unequal to the occasion and stand trembling before
difficulties. There is no lpless creatures on
earth than the surfeited with bookish knowledge
and yet ignorant of the practical affairs of life.
To be unacquanted with human nature and un-
practiced in the accomplishments of worldly
knowledge, is ignorance of the rankest growth Such
people one-ideaed in thought They lack the
latent energy of conscious ability and are without
variety Of character to recommend them to prefer
position They in trouble everywhere,
have no confidence in themselves or reliance in
others, but view everyone and everything with
picion-the suspicion of ignorance which
ceive of nothing superior to it's own conceit
To be worldly in knowledge is not to be worldly
in morals. The world should be studied it's ways
and rules of conduct mastered and it's tricks and de-
captions recognized when seen for what is wrong
is not known, that which is right not be followed
Many young man whose early training kept him
in complete ignorance of the temptations which
would surround his manhood, has been led astray
simply because he knew nothing of the danger
fronting him when entering upon the active duties
of life. No knowledge is hurtful unless wrongly
used and thorough understanding of what must
be expected in the struggle for existence, is the
best weapon against failure
