B. M. Scale & Co.'s Cotton Letter.


 NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 2.-There was an i'm provement in the tenor of cables today. the opinion being expressed that spinners were be- coming uneasy over their scant stocks or raw cotton and the limited quantity of fresh sup plies available. which the sale of 5000 bales in Liverpool at an advance of l-32 somewhat justified. This information created better tone here and a few points more were gained in the price. Predictions of colder weather tonight for Arkansas Oklahoma and Texas helped the steadiness, but trading was rather light owing to the reluctance of operators to take chances on the Bureau
 than yesterday.
 The movement of cotton continues compara- lively light and to all appearances the coun- try manifests no eagerness to sell at existing prices Under the circumstances, should it develop that spinners will be compelled to buy more freely in the near future. the efect will be to enhance values materially. as spec ulators are awaiting such encouragement to enter the market actively. especially in view of the present crop outlook. Meanwhile. the Bureau report to be published tomorrow is absorbing attention, and Il is uncertain us to what influence that feature will exert on prices for the time being.

New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 2.-Therc was a fair demand for spot cotton today. The advance in values and the frcer movement at Liverpool had the effect of causing factors to stiffcn their asking prices bit. but 1t did not keep the purchasing element out of the market; or ferings fairly large and the assortment good. Sales, 1000 bales including 1850 to arrive.
 There but little doing in the line of con tracts. The trade is seemingly awaiting the Governments report of crop conditions due tomorrow. before making another plunge The market opened 5a6 points higher and added 2m3 points later on, but fell away before the closing, leaving 0CIobers even, NoVemDers points up, while the other positions showed net gains of 4u5 points compared with yes terday's closing figures.

Now and then one reads of the man, who, starting as office boy, rises by ex- traordinary ability and op- portunity to a partnership in a great business, but the chances against you or me becoming a Carnegie or even a Charlie SchWab are about I6o,ooo to I.

Charles Daxson,s Awful Death.

Mr.. Charles Dawson, well-known
resident of Charlestown, was run over
by the cars early last Friday morning
in the East End transfer yard at
Brunswick, Nd, and his body so cut
to pieces that recognition could only
be made by letter in his pocket. He
had left home in the morning with a
friend by the name Of McCorkle, a
drummer, and had intended going to
Brunswick and Frederick, and thence
to Washington. 1t is said that they
got separated at Harper's Ferry,where
they changed cars, Dawson leaving at
8 Is a. m. and McCorkle at Z a. m.
1t is thought Dawson was carried to
Washington Junction, as his train
made no stop at Brunswick, and that
he was returning on foot up the rail-
road to Brunswick to meet his friend.
He was about 35 years of age and
lived with his mother and two sisters.
Major Lucien Dawson, his father, was
a retired officer of the regular army,
who removed from Philadelphia to
Charlestown about fifteen years ago
and purchased Claymont Court, the
Bushrod Washington homestead, few
miles from town, and spent some $4O,-
900 improving it, and where he lived
up to his death, few years ago. 1t
is now owned by Frank Stockton, the
author. Charles Dawson was one of
the most polished gentlemen Of the
county and quite prominent socially.
His body was taken to Charlestown
for burial

Temperance Meetings in the Town Hall.

According to previous announce
ment, two temperance meetings were
held in the town hall Tuesday after
noon and night. In the afternoon at
three o'clock a fair audience assem-
bled. Rev. DR.. Ghiselin presided and
the main address was delivered by Hon.
s. E. Nicholson, the general secretary
of the Anti-Saloon League Of Mary
land. He explained the purpose and
methsds of the League aud showed
from wonderful examples just what
may be accomplished by such united
action as the League contemplates.
1t is not the purpose of the League to
supersede any other organizations or
in any way interfere with their work.
The League is inter-denominational
and omni-partisan and simply propos-
es to organize into working body all
citizens who feel that the American
saloon must go. All persons are free
to unite with it and continue in their
present relations to party or church,
but they are asked to cooperate in
enforcing the present laws and in hav-
ing better ones enacted. He said the
League seeks right ends by right
means. 1t seeks to make the people
see and realize the enormity Of the
saloon evil it carries on campaign
of education it engenders enthusi-
asm and while the League is not
partisan it will favor no man Of any
party who is not opposed to the saloon.
At night there was large crowd
present. In the necessary absence of
DIR Ghiselin, Rev. H. Max Lentz was
asked to preside. Mr. Nicholson gave
mastery address and showed con-
clusively the right of American citi-
zens to oppose the saloon and utterly
set aside any claims the saloon might
have to protection. The right of
every free man has limitations that
must stop him short of injury to others.
A man has right to swing bis fists
but they must always stop short of
his neighbours nose. You may have
right in fee simple to the lot beside
your neighbor's house, but you have
no right to put slaughter house there.
A man is free to do as he pleases only
as long as he pleases to do right. 1t
is not right to do that for profit which
is very serious injury to the COM
munity at large.
The music was in charge Of Mrs. j..
D. Billmyer and Rev. W. |. Dice. At
night Miss Cummings sang a solo, and
with Prof. Arnett a duet, which were
expressive and well received. Messrs.
C. H. Shipman, G. NJ. Horn and S. D..
Engle, of Charlestown, were present
at both meetings and made short talks,
as did also some of the local clergy.
Another meeting was announced for
Friday of this week at $50. p. m. All
persons are cordially invited to attend
this latter meeting, which will also be
held in the town hall.
