LIFE Is WRONG

Why Mark Twain Won't Attend
the Missouri Day CeIe-
bration.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, August Mark
souri, day celebration in Kansas City
on August TO- to commemorate the
States admission to the Union, but he
wrote a letter in regard to it that was
read to his fellow Missourians on that
day. The letter was received August l
by E. L. Dimmit, Secretary of the Mis-
souri, Jubilee Association. Mark Twain
was born at Florida, in Monroe county,
and he was one of the first to be asked
to take part in the celebration of the
States Eightieth birthday. Mr. Glenn
ems letter was as follows:
Among the Adirondack Lakes.
July 10. 1901.
Dear Sir: By an error in the plans
things go wrong end first in this world;
and so. much precious time is lost and
matters of urgent Importance are ia
tally retarded. Invitations which a
brisk young fellow should get, and
which would transport him with joy,
are delayed and impeded and INSTRUCTED
until they are fifty years overdue when
they reach him. 1t has happened again
in this case. When ] was boy In
Missouri | was always on the lookout
for invitations. but they always mis-
carried and went wandering through
the aisles of time, and now they are
arriving when I am old and rheumatic
and can't travel and must lose my
chance. I have lost a world of delight
through this matter of delaying invi-
tations. Fifty years ago l would have
gone eagerly across the world to help
celebrate anything that might turn 1t
would have made no difference to me
what it was so that l was there and al
lowed chance to make noise
1.-The whole science of things is turned
wrong-end-to. Life should begin with
age and it's privileges and accumula-
tions, and end with youth and its ca
pacity to splendidly enjoy such advan-
tages. AS things are now, when in
youth a dollar would bring you a hum
dred pleasures. you can't get it: when
you are old you get it, and there's
nc thing worth buying with it then. It's
an epitome of life. The first half of it
consists of the capacity to enjoy with
out the chance; the last half consists, of
the chance without the capacity
II am admonished in many ways that
time is pushing me inexorably along. l
am approaching the threshold of age;
in 1877 7 shall be 142. This is not time
to be fitting about the earth I must
cease from the activities proper to youth
and begin to take on the dignities and
GRANTEES and inertia proper to that
season of honorable senility which is on
it's way and imminent-as indicated
above.
Yours is a great and memorable oc-
casion, and as son of Missouri I
should hold it a high privilege to be
there and share your just pride in the
States achievements. but I must deny
myself the Indulgence while thanking
you earnestly for the priced honor you
have done me in asking me to be pres
ent. Very truly yours.

The Princess of Pless is considered
by all who have seen her to be the most
beautiful woman in the United King
dom, and probably in the Old World.
Just now the princess is of special inter-
est because of the furore which her
beauty has raised in London, where
she has been visiting. She is the
daughter of Mrs. CORVALLIS West, and
the sister of the Duchess of Westmin-
ster. a recent bride.
The Princess also numbers among
her relatives the former Lady Ram

lady whom the Duke of Cornwall and

There was no outside support, in fact but little outside trade. The selling was by the safe interests which have been on that side for the past week. mostly hold CTS of spot cotton in different parts of the country or against purchases made from day to day, and foreigners were also sell CTS again. The Liverpool market has been extremely weak for the past three days. It is noticeable however that the sales of spot cotton there continues liberal, of course at declining prices, but it will re- lieve the pressure over there somewhat, and will be so much the better when the turning point comes. What outside busi ness there was today was in the future distant months, the new crop futures, which showed relatively greater strength. The news from southern milling centers and from the Fall River district contin- ues unfavorable.
 Port receipts were again liberal and look quite so when compared with year ago. Today 25,755 25,7 ,755 bales vs. 15,92O same day a year ago. Estimates for New Orleans tomorrow rather light, but there may be some special cause for this. Only $500 to $500 are expected there vs. 62S2 and Il, POS a week and a year ago. The esti- mates, however for Houston are large enough to more than offset this Nine to ten thousand bales are expected there to- morrow vs 3596 and 1920 As long as the movement in that section is so large it will be impossible to bring about an advance that will hold for any length of time.

NET DECLINE AT THE CLOSE

New York, March 12-Cotton had an irregular movement today, and operations by the room element were indicitive of unrest as to the future. Liverpool more than responded to last nights weakness and continued to decline after our open ing. This fact with foreign selling or ders gave the forenoon market weak appearance On the call the market was easy, with prices to ' points lower on present crop options and 3 points lower to 1 point higher on next crop months. From that level values went off steadily up to the noon hour.
 May reached S.Hc soon after midday under general selling, brought out by es- inmates for large receipts tomorrow and reports that southern spot markets were casing off under pressure from the in terior. But before 2 p. m. a steady un- dertone was obtained and somewhat has, ty local shorts turned for profits. This buying resulted in a sharp rise in May to S.3S, with other months proportion ately higher. Trading in a spasmodic way was active.

New Orleans, March 12.-The sample tables of cotton factors were fairly well cleared by yesterdays heavy movement and factors were busy this morning bringing forward new lines. After hours last evening one list of 1700 bales changed hands to be counted in todays record of sales. Prices remain unchanged and there was a good demand at current fig ures. The sales were IT, ,750 bales, includ- ing 1700 bales after yesterdays closing hour, and 2000 bales to arrive. The mar ket for contracts was moderately active during the early hours today, but with the short element mainly working both ends of the ring. The bulls have gener- ally dropped out of sight, disgusted and discouraged by the persistent decline in values, leaving the bears perfect masters of the situation; so that the selling move ment Is now principally indicative of new investment, while the buying, in nine cases out of ten, means simply the cov- ering in of profits by the shorts. Liver pool displayed decided weakness today working down another 1-16d on spots and 3-64@5-64d on contracts; while on this, side New York opened two to seven points and New Orleans seven to nine points below yesterdays figures. After the first call the market seemed to gain strength without apparent cause and finally closed but one to two points be- low yesterdays closing prices.
