TURKEYS RESOURCES.
The Ottoman Empire One of the Riches
Countries in the World.

The Ottoman Empire One of the Riches
Countries in the World.
The Ottoman empire is, in potential
resources, probably the richest country
in the world next to the United States,
says Golfers Weekly. For years
American and Turkish statesmen have
been endeavoring with all their power
to foster what little trade their coun-
tries have, and to create new trade
channels to commercially connect the
republic and the empire. These en-
deavors have already borne good fruit.
and the future possibilities in that di-
rection are infinite. The mutual rela-
tions of commerce amount already to
millions, and it would be most unfor
tunate that an untoward event should
disturb in their growth these promis-
ing shoots of trade, and bring about
distrust which would cause the orig
mating of new branches of trade to be
made impossible for many years to
come. The feeling of fellowship among
nations is to large extent sentimen-
tai, especially when there is no possi-
rle point of hostile contact. The
Turks have been educated to know
that there is a great free nation far in
the west, foremost in all the endeavors
of commerce, industry and technical
invention-a nation to whom they
could without any fear entrust the
development of their magnificent re-
sources

Miss Grace Howard, daughter of Joe

business judgment and energy can
hold her own with the most eXpe-

finest in South Dakota. Miss Howard
is well known in official and social
circles in Washington and New York.
She went to Dakota in 1887 and estap-
lished an Indian mission school sew
cnteen miles north of Chamberlain, on
the Grow Creek and Winnebago Indian
reservation. After the first two years
this school. which had been named
Grace mission. was transformer INTO
a government contract school. In the
enlarging and expanding of the school
she always received every encourage
ment from the officials of the Indian
bureau in Washington. Her contract
with the government did not expire
until June, 1897. but early in that year,
at the solicitation of friends. she de-
inent of the school The bitter fight
waged in congress at that time against
contract schools had considerable in
fiuence in her decision. She informed
the Indian office that II the govern
ment was willing to buy her school
she was willing to sell. Special Agent
Slater of the Indian department was
sent to investigate. and as the result
of his report the government paid Miss
IIAyard satisfactory price for her
interest in the school,
Shortly after retiring from the
school Miss Howard purchased a cat
tie ranch on the White river. and has
since been engaged in cattle raising.
In addition to looking after her ranch.
Miss Howard has established a store

INVENTIONS OF ANINSANEM MAN
One Design OF L,natic Brought Him
a Hnndsome Fortune.

One Design OF L,tnatic Brought Him
n Handsome Fortune.
Until quite lately there lived luna
tic in Wellesley asylum, who turned
out round dozen of inventions dur
ing his ten years stay in the place, and
some of them were really good and
useful, says London paper. One was
a new style of ships anchor. which
holds twice as fast as the old kind, and
can be trusted never to foul its chain
or otherwise go wrong. The inventor
had been a tailor before losing his
balance, and knew nothing of ships
and anchors. But he drew the dia-
grams and made the models for this
fruit of his disordered brain, and one
day man who visited him and saw
the plans was greatly taken with them.
He obtained permission, patented and
put the anchor on the market. 1t was
favorably received and at the end of
two years the invention had brought
him $4,000. Half of this the capital
ist who had marketed the anchor gave
to the two daughters of the mailman,
who were alive and sane. During the
ID of the inventors life the anchor
br ght in enough to pay for his
maintenance and keep his two daugh-
ters in easy circumstances. He in
vented other useful things, including a
new kind of corkscrew and a folding

New York. June 6-The market still
continues dull in all departments. Buying
is confined to limited quantities for i'm
mediate needs in all descriptions OF cot
ton goods without change from previous
prices. Mems wear, woolens and worsteds
slow and prices irregular. Dress goods
are also dull and irregular.
COTTON.
New York. June 6.-The movement of
cotton prices today was frequent ana
violent with both sides receiving set
backs. The bear faction had the advan-
tage on the opening, inasmuch as English
cable news was very unsatisfactory anu
the weather news more encouraging, and
thew succeeded in forcing prices off to
, noints. On this break August touched
799 with scarcely any effort made by
holders to arrest the down turn. The
foreign contingent and the speculative
nublic sold on the slump with an unusual
degree of confidence. But toward midday
a feeling of distrust invaded the bear
camp, and prices were soon reacting rap
idly on purchases from all sides. early
in the afternoon the upward turn be-
came sensational in its rapidity with July
easily the leader. Shorts were temper
arily panic stricken by jump of % points
in July in New Orleans, which private
advices declared had resulted from a
wild scramble of shorts to cover on bad
reports from the Central belt In the
local market July advanced to $40 before
a breathing spell was taken. Later in
the day the market was nervous with
trading spasmodically active. Sentiment
was very much mixed, and both longs and
shorts endeavored to reduce commitments,
particularly as opinions concerning the
probable acreage estimate of the Chronl-
Gle tomorrow differed in the extreme.
Europe was heavy buyer on the after
noon rise and considerable cotton was
also purchased for Southern account.
The close was quiet and steady at a
net advance of one to five points. the
market having eased off under realizing.

New York, June 6.-About midway of
today's session Of the Stock Exchange
there was rise Of three points in New

an isolated feature of strength in the

respite from the mood OF depression which
prevailed all day. The most effective sin
gle factor was the warlike developments
in China This influence was reflected
in New York from foreign stock markets

sales in this market on that account
ran up to about $4,000 shares, but half
