COTTON
New York, Oct. 26.-The opening
cables from Liverpool were slightly
above the close of yesterday, and
seemed inclined to resist any fur
ther advance in the markets on this
side. The sales wete but 1000 less
than yes erday, and during the early
hours of the session there was con-
siderable buying and further coy
ering by the large short interests
that has been the ruling feature of
the market for some time. The
weather throughout the cotton belt
being somewhat inclement added
some strength to the cause of higher
prices and a continued better feeling
was noticeable In the trade, there
was some buying by commission
houses.
The advices from many of the
large districts are to the effect that
the drop 10 fast being moved to mar
ket and that there is every indica
tion that picking is rapidly coming
to close.
There was a continuation of, the
buying of yesterday by the south,
the only sellers being tire local
crowd. and that for only a short
turn. The trading was confined to a
narrower range for the first two
hours. The January option reached
nine cents fat at one time, but ow-
ing to the numerous stop orders,
was soon forced back to near the
opening.
Cotton in sight this week 473, ,954
bales as against 519, 1856 in 1898 and
524 1872 in 1897.
Port receipts today nearly 4s, 900 as
against 35,046 same day last year
The total port receipts for the week
are 32s. .795 as against 241 1861 same
week last year.
The close of the market was tri-
ie lower than the opening, due to
some liquidation and some little
profit taking at the last hour. The
tone at the close, however, was an
exhibition of some strength as COM
pared with the past two weeks.

A. DoRnKht I'm Church.

. The Westminster Budget says that II
was once usual for highland shepherds
to take their dogs to church and leave
them outside the pews. Two shep-
herds at enmity sat on opposite sides
Of the aisle one Sunday. Soon after
the sermon began the dogs, one a collie
and the other not, seemed to enter into
their masters quarrel. One tender Of
the dock and then the other egged ON
his animal, and each faithful dog obey
ed his master. The people at last cram
ed their necks over the pews, and when
the dogs actually fought not few Of
the congregation were standing up.
The minister's patience was ultimate
ly exhausted, and SO he called to his
hearers" and said. "Ah, weel, my
britherin. see ye are more interested
I'm the dogfght than in my sermon, and

In all large cities there is a way OF
getting rid of undesirable persons by
means of giving them a ''pauper's
pass" to some city to which they want
to 60.
1t seems that lawyer who Is quite
well known about town and who, like
many other persons, is not averse to
travelling on a free ticket had made
several requests to a certain official for
a pass to New York. He had been re-
fused a number of times, but with
persistence worthy of better cause he
continued to bore his official friend.
Finally he was supplied with the mag
ic pasteboard. and without looking at
1t he went TO the railroad station and
paid for his seat In the parIor car.
When the conductor came along, the
lawyer. who, by the way, Is a man of
rather Imposing appearance, was read
Ing a paper and with the nonchalance
supposed to be second nature to those
who never pay their carfare held out
his pass. never even glancing az the
conductor. That official took the pass,
read 1t carefully. looked at the holder
OF lt and then examined the pass again
with considerable care. The lawyer,
noticing that the conductor seemed to
be giving the pass more than ordinary
attention. stared mt the official with a
manner that indicated that he might at
least be director and asked with con-
siderable warmth. Anything the mat
ter with that pass2"
The conductor looked at his question
er In Quizzlcal way and then said,
mo: the pass is all right. but you are
certainly the best dressed pauper /

Ardmore would probably be a

Igerms of contagious and mertal
maladies were known to be more
lpreva prevalent over this fall than
for some time, and that here in
Ardmore sanitary conditions are
extremely favorable 10 the devel-
opment and spreading of these dis

: Not only is the business portion
of Ardmore filthy, but the unsani-
tary conditions prevail to the very

noxious odors borne on every

precautions which render it secure

If our city officials will! be active

A BUSINESS POINTER.

Several Washington merchants are
afraid to invite the trade of suburban
people for fear 1t might Offend some
i their city customers who don't con-
,ider it "the proper thing" 70 I've seen
u store with country people. They
want the cash of country people when
the same can be secured without any
outward sign Of a desire to reach out
Tor it. One of the largest hardware
firms in the city recently refused to
advertise in the columns OF the C1TI-
ZEN and gave the following reason;
Were not out after suburban busi-
less for the reason that we consider
the trade of the people of Virginia and
Maryland not particularly desirable" I"

"a good many years ago. when
was a cub" said the old operator who
was in a reminiscent mood, II was
sent out to relieve an operator in lit
tie country town. On my way there
l noticed at a town about ten miles
from where was going that the Office
was in charge of a girl operator.
was a gay spark in those days and
Immediately made up my mind to get
acquainted at once. AS soon as l ar
rived at the Office l was to take charge
of l lost no time in calling her up,
and was soon getting on famOusly.
Inside of a week / sent her a box of
candy and was thanked so sweetly for
it over the wire that / Immediately
bought another box of more expensive
candy and sent that to her. Luckily
for me there was nothing to do but
to report a train now and then, so l
managed to get along without being
called down by the train dispatcher,
for l spent most Of my time sending
sweet words over the wire to my
charmer.
zone Sunday l made up my mind
to give her a call, and | asked the dis
patcher for permission TO so down
there. but got a point blank refusal.
Nothing daunted, l figured out that /
could slip down there between trains
and no one would be the wiser. Secur-
ing a hand car from the section boss,
proceeded to pump it down to where
my charmer lived. 1t was down
grade, so it was not q difficult matter,
and / soon arrived at my destination.
What / saw when l entered the office
with wildly beating heart caused my
hair to curl. Instead Of my golden
haired beauty, there sat a red-headed,
cross-eyed cub smoking cigarette and
eating candy out of box that l had
sent on the day before. By cautious
inquiry, and not revealing my own
identity, / learned that the girl had
been transferred to another office two
days after l had seen her, and that
had been pouring my sweet things
into the ear Of that red-headed cub,
whose appetite for candy was some
thing enormous. pumped that hand
car back up grade for ten miles, and
had plenty of time to think it over.
II met the girl afterward and she

"Yes, but we can force It Open.'
"No need to do that; make some
noise that will scare him away To-
morrow night he win return to finish
his work. We will have some officers
here and catch him in the act.'
The two men hurried quietly up
the steps at the rear of the cellar, and
going into the front office made a lot
of noise with their feet on the floor,
rs il they had but just arrived The
Kissing sound was soon shut or.
T III ruse had worked the desired re-
suit.
The following night found Mr.
blackstone, Mr. Hampton and an Of
fcer secreted in the room behind a
pile of cylinders. About eleven o'clock
a small portion of the floor was raised
from its place. A moment later Ian
tern was hauled up through the open
ing then the head and shoulders of
man appeared. Slowly he drew him
self up through. Puttipi the lantern
on his arm, he took n small wrench
from his pocket and commenced to
loosen the cap of one of the cylinders.
Then he produced key and opened
the valve. Instantly the air was filed
with a kissing sound.
At signal from Mr. Hampton, the
hidden men sprang from cover. Jack
was so scared 81 the sight of them
that he couldn't move an inch.
On the promise of not being prose-
cuted he confessed all, and gave his
word that he would be at the trial
to give evidence against his employers
in case they refused to pay the dam
ages that would be asked Of them.
A tunnel had been made from the
cellar of one building to that Of the
other. In this way Jack would enter
the cellar of Oscar Hampton, and al
low the gas to escape from his cylin.
ders OF course it was mean scheme.
and 1t would have been the cause of
quite a loss to Mr. Hampton had it
not been discovered.

The palatial new home of the Star
was thrown open to public inspection
last Saturday, and the thousands of
people who availed themselves of the
invitation to inspect the new building
went away with more comprehensive
ideas of the magnitude of the paper
and the colossal influence for good it
exerts in this community. It's new
home is by long odds the most splendid
structure ever erected in Washington
by private enterprise.
