 Is Reported Light.
STRENGTH QUICKLY CAME

New York, December 24.-The cotton market opened steady to 7points lower, under fairly active selling for both ac- counts, started by weakness in the Liver pool market and heavy receipts at the ports. January sold down to S14; March to SPA and May to s.29. Foreign selling orders were something of a feature on the decline the South furnished little business to It's representatives here.
 Just when shorts appeared to have everything their own way active Wall Street buying set in and soon forced the active options a point or so over last nights bid with the market showing pronounced strength. Liverpool respond ed to our rally with reluctance. The South turned buyer on the advance pick ing up late months as a general thing as against sales of spot cotton to export CTS. For the rest of the session the mar ket had an irregular session and while far from weak repeated edly gave way before liquidating sales through com mission brokers.
 All private news from the crop country told of a light yield and of steadily ad- vancing prices in spot markets The in- formation from spinning centers here and abroad proved to be of the best and aside from the big port movement for the day there was nothing to really disturb the market On all weak spots Wall Street and leading room bulls bought May and July options.
 The market closed steady with prices net to points lower.

WHAT GOES UP
Must Come Down.

Nothing is more certain than that the use of so-called tonics. stimulants and medicines which depend upon alcohol for their effect, is injurious to health in the long ruE.
 What goes up must come down and the elevation of spirits. the temporary ex- hilaration resulting from dose of medi- cine containing alcohol, will certainly be followed in few hours by correspond ing depression to relieve which another dose must be taken.
 In other words, many liquid patent medicines derive their effect entirely from the alcohol they contain.
 Alcohol and medicines containing It. are temporary stimulants and not in any sense a true tonic.- In fact it is doubtful if any medicine or drug is real tonic.
 A true tonic Is something which will re- nervous system and wasted tissues of the body. something that will enrich the blood and endow 1t with the proper pro- portions of rcd and white corpuscles, which prevent or destroy disease germs. This is what a real tonic should do and no drug or alcoholic stlmulant will do it.
 The only true tonic in nature is whole some food. thoroughly digested. Every particle of nervous energy, every. minute muscle. fibre and drop of blood is created daily from the food We digest.
 The mere eating of food has little to do with the repair of waste tissue but the perfect digestion of the food eaten has everything to do with it.
 The reason SO few people have perfect digestion is because from wrong habits of living the stomach has gradually lost the power to secrete the gastric juice, peptones and acids in sufficient qnantity.
 TO cure indigestion and stomach trou- bIes if is necessary to take after meals some harmless preparation which will supply the natural peptone and diastase which every weak stomach lacks, and probabIy the best preparation of this character is Stuart's Dysp pria Tablets which may be found in every drug store and which contain in pl asant palatable form the wholesome peptone and diastase which nature requires for prompt diges- tion. taken after meals will prevent souring, Fermentation and acidity and insure com plete digestion and assimilation.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are equally yaluabl4. for little children as for adults, as they contain nothing harmful or stim- uIating but only the natural digestives. . One of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 800 grains of meat, eggs or other wholesome food. and they are in every sense 4 genuine tonic because they bring about in the only natural way restora- five of nerve power. building up of lost tissue and appetite in the only way it can he done by the digestion and assimi- lation of wholesome food. wed-fr-sun.

GERMANY's UNEMPLOYED. Investigation Shows Bad Condition
 of Affairs.

Berlin, Dec. 3.-Oficial Investigations made by the municipal council as to the number of unemployed in the various in- dustries of Germany. reveal a rather worse condition of affairs than had already been intimated by the German press.
 These investigations have resulted in showing that only 20,600 men are em- ployed in the metal trades today, as against 73,100 employed in these same trades Tn the month of October, 1900 The working hours have been reduced in half of the factories. The unemployed in the larger towns amount to from to 10 per cent of their populations, and the aggre- gate of unemployed in Germany reaches 50O.O00 men or per cent of the total number of artisans in the country.

TO PICK REGISTRARS STATE BOARD MET TO CON-
 SLIDER NAMES. The Meeting Was Preliminary to Ap- pointment of the County Re- gistrars Who are to Be Chosen
 from 1000 Applicants.

The State Board of Registrars. con- sisting of the Governor, the State Audi tor and the Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries. held its first meeting at 5:3o o'clock yesterday afternoon in the private office of Governor Jelks
 Under the new Constitution it is made the duty of the State Board of Regis trars to appoint three registrars for each county in the State and it was this work which engaged the attention of the Board at It's first meeting yesterday
 More than 1000 applications have been received by the Board for these places. The names of the applicants have been arranged in alphabetical order and these lists were taken up by the Board yes- terday. Perfect streams of delegations called at the Capitol yesterday to see the three State officials with reference to the appointments of the County Reg istrars and the members of the Board gave each of the delegations patient hearing.
 After the meeting yesterday evening it was given out by the Board that the me eting was called merely to discuss the preIiminaries to the appointments. It was said that while some of the appoint i ments had been agreed upon no am ncuncements would be made until all Of ] the County Registrars have been se- | lccted This means that it will probably be several days before the appointments of County Registrars are made public.

 The next nunbr was one of the most difficult arrangements of the airs from Faust by the great violinist Sarasati. It was brilliantly performed by MT. Grifin who has already won distinction in the great cities ofJthe North.
 Mrs. Griffin next sang a grand Aria from Tannhaeuser. "Elizabeth's Greeting to the Hall of Song" by Wagner. In this number Mrs. Griffin showed great dramatic power and proved that the op- cratic stage should be her sphere. She was invited to sing the leading roles in German opera in New Orleans last sea- son. but chose to remain in the concert and recital field.

artist. She played this same group Of Chopin In Leipzig before the Duchess of Mechlenburg and the Princess Of Alten- burg three years ago: Wagner ever wrote for violin and piano. He Interpreted 1t beautifully. He was at his best In is.
 Mrs. Grifiin sang group of new songs which were verftable gems and Wnicn were made more beautiful by her perfect enunciation and distinctive style or ih- depreciation. They were:
 My Lovely Child" Liza Lehmann; Among the Roses" Maude V. White; If were but Little Flower" Schneck- CT.
 The next number on tho program was Devotion" by Robert Ellenberg, for vio. lin. and Mozart's ninuet both played by MT. Griffin.
 One of the features of the program was the Theme and Variations for two ert Eienberg and played by him and Mrs. Eilenberg from the manuscript. This composition was thoroughly at home on a program containing such names as in itself a glory to Montgomery and to American musicians. MT. and Mrs. Ell enberg have been invited to play this-- his unpublished work-for the critics and composers of Boston. Those who know predict for him fame that will come of this masterpiece.
 The program concluded with the Bach Gounod Ave Maria. for the voice, violin, piano and organ, and in 1t all four art fists were brought before the audience.
 Mrs. Griffin who has lately come among us is an artist recognized from the Att lantic to the Pacific as we'll as in many of the leading cities of Europe. Her in- terrretations from the grand operatic Arias to the simplest ballads are a reve- lation to those appreciating the highest and best in musical literature. Mont gonlery is indeed to, be congratulated that she has such superb vocalist in her midst.
 As the large audience left the theatre with the charm of the delightful event upon them, the unanimous sentiment ex- pressed by all was pitched along the line of qualification at Montgomerys awak- ening to her musical greatness
