Cargill & Richardson say OF the cotton
market in their circular OF yesterday:
When our markets opened this morning
Liverpool was 1854 higher, but they
declined later closing about 1-64th lower
on the day. Spots were quoted 1882
up; sales 1000. The opening in New York
was about the same as yesterdays clos
ing. This proved to be the highest of the
day. however, prices easing gradually with
put slight reactions, closing III to Is lower
IN New York and d to 10 down in New
orleans. Spots u down In New York and
New Orleans, unchanged elsewhere. There
was hut little disposition shown to make
new engagements today, pending the hOli-
days, and trading for the most part wac
confined TO evening up with longs liquidat-
ing freely. The movement to the ports
was only moderate, as were also estimates
at Houston and New Orleans for tomor.
row. When the latter were posted some
covering by shorts was INDUCED In, giving
the market a little strength and activity,
but it did not last long. There is still
some fear of further manipulation in New
York. but as Al rule sentiment appears
to he bearlsh. The market looks fairly
healthy to us and any Improvement in
the spot demand should give us a steady
and probably higher market Weather
condi 0ns for preparation of the coming
crop as well as receipts will be the dom
mating factors In shaping values, and for
the present 1t looks like a scalping market.

WHAT Is MANUAL LABOR?
INTERESTING POINT INVOLVED
IN A FEDERAL COURT SUIT.
1t Is Contended that nm Engraver
Does Not Come Under the Alien
Labor LAVA Damage Suit.

The attorney for the Anchor Silver-plate
Company, of Muncie, has filed a demurrer,
I'm the United States Court. to the action
brought by the district attorney, in the
name of the United States, on account of
the alleged violation, by the Anchor Com
pany. of the alien labor law. The suit was
brought under an act which makes it un-
lawful for an individual or concern in the
United States to import, under contract,
labor from foreign countries. The demur-
rer declares that the complaint of the dis
trict attorney does not state facts sufh-
cient to constitute a cause of action.
With the demurrer the defendants attor-
ney filed a brief in which some interesting
points are discussed. The chief question in
volved seems to be whether one who fol-
lows the occupation of 'engraver" can be
said to be a laborer. The Anchor Silver
plate Company incurred the displeasure Of
the government by bringing Frank Hay
wood, an engraver, from Toronto, Canada,
to work in the Anchor plant at Muncie.
One OF the allegations set out in the de-
PENDANTS brief is that the complaint of the
plaintiff fails TO show that Frank Hay
wood was an alien. Another assertion OF
the brief Is to the effect that the COM
plant fails to allege that there was any
contract with Haywood by which he was
TO perform labor or service Of any kind
III lhiS tOunlIA- II II that lnC COhA-
plant must show that at the time the de-
PENDANT prepaid the transportation or 9TH
erwise assisted or encouraged the importa-
ton or migration of an alien, such alien
was under a valid. enforceable contract
to perform labor or service in the United
States. 1t is held, in the brief, that the In
tentiOn of Congress. when il passed the
alien or foreign labor act, was simply TO
stop the influx of cheap, unskilled labor.
The brief claims there is no allegation that
the work Haywood offered to do was man
ual labor. The brief defines the meaning
of the word 'engraver," and says that the
definition given does not mean the per-
Torrance of such labor or service as is re-
ferred to in the act in question. 1t is con-
tended that if the work OF a window
dresser does not fall within the prohibition
of the statutes, for the greater reason the
work of an engraver does not. The brief
quotes from a decision by the Court of APP
peals in support Of this contention. In it's
decision the court says that "a silk draper
or linen draper is not a common laborer.
He may do work with his hands as does a
minister. a lawyer or surgeon, but TO desig-
nate him as a common manual laborer
would be a misuse of the English lam
guage."

SANITARY SCIENCE.
Mortality Among Men and Horses Re-
duced Where 1t Is Applied.

"In those countries in which the people
have been sufficiently practical to apply
sanitary science the result has been to re-
duce mortality fully 25 per cent" said DR.
j. y. Hurry, secretary of the State Board
of Health, yesterday in answer TO a query
as to whether he could show that sanitary
science has been of actual. practical bene-
mt.
''Why, the individual longevity of man
has been increased three years" continued
DR.. Hurry. land of women three years and
a half. The mortality rate among British
troops is only two-fifths of what it was
at the time of the Crimean war. Among the
English soldiers that are in the East Indies
the rate is only one-third, and among those
in the West Indies one-tenth of what il
was at the period mentioned.
Horses have benefited by the applica-
ton OF rules of sanitary science, along with
their human protectors. The mortality
among the horses i'm the British army has
been reduced 80 per cent. in this way.
Yes, indeed. sanitation pays, and pays
big" declared the doctor. Deaths from
fevers nave been diminished 40 per cent. IN
places where the laws of sanitation have
been strictly observed. Deaths from typhus
fever nave been cut % per cent. from
typhoid fever. 60 per cent. from diphtheria,
81 per cent. and from consumption, % per
cent.
One of the best places To observe the
valuable results attained by the practice ol
sanitary and antiseptic rules is in the oper-
ating room of a hospital. The lessening of
the death rate in these places can be esti-
mated. but the amount of needless suffer
ing that has been obviated can never be
stated in figures. Deaths from surgical
operations have. through the teachings ann
practical work Of Lister ~(discoverer of lis
terine). been reduced - per cent. The sur
gecn no LONGER breads gangrene and blood
poisoning. and thousands of years OF use

and in the practical application OF the laws

ton of disease excellent progress is being
made. II is to be regretted that the bill

did not receive more than nine votes. Som
