The Cotton Market.

The price of cotton goes down almost daily,
and those Of our fellow-citizens who have
been holding for an advance In price may
suffer considerable loss, but we have no ad-

us do not understand, and 1t Nigh, be pre-

This newspaper simply doesntknow whether
the price will go lower or rise higher than
the figures at which they stand to-day. Last

A SEAMLESS TUBE.
There Are Three Operations ~
Which 1t May BE Made.

There Are Three Operations ~
Which 1T May Be Made.
Henry Souther said at recent meeting
of the National Association OF Mechanical
Engineers that the scientific and technical
designation Of tube, whether scanned or
seamless, depended solely upon the tube
itself and not upon the process followed
In it's manufacture. Referring to the do
tionary you will find that the word "seam.
less" means without seam, which conveys
no light upon the subject. Turning to the
word seam" it Is found that 1t Is defined
as Joint, suture, or line Of union, and hers
in the last term we find the key. A tube
jointed in any way cannot be seamless. u
in the primary stages Of its manufacture
IL be lap, butt or lock jointed, it cannot
bS any subsequent operation be deprived
Of ythe seam and therefore cannot be con-
sidered when completed as being seamless.
A\strictly seamless tube may be made
by any one of three operations-frst,
billet\m t\may be by successive steps punched
into the form Of q tube with extremely
thick sides, and these may then by the or
dinary drawing processes be reduced to
tube with thin walls; next, the billet may
be bored Or the blank may be cast with
hole in it and in either case then drawn
to the required dimensions; thirdly, the
tube may be made by the cupping process
which consists in taking disk Of the
metal, forming it into cup shape, grad
ually elongating the cup and reducing IL
in diameter and finally by this means pro-
ducing tube.
Each and all Of these processes yield a
tube which Is absolutely seamless and
about which there is and can be no dis
pute. In all tubes formed with seam
the edges have first been separated, then
united, either by lap or butt weld or by
some lock joint system, and In these the
Joint cannot be eliminated by any after
processes. The, custom houses OF the
United States Recognize the difference BE-
tween a seam and seamless tube. A
seamless tube is one in which the walls
have never been separated from the time
the metal was in molten condition to the
time of the completion Of the tube.-lron

sHE FOiLED A PLOT.
How Bme. Albonf FrustPate0
Scheme to Hiss Her.

Scneme I'D E1isb ISEs
"Once upon time, when Nine. A1bon
was at Trieste" writes Henry G. Lahse in
Famous Singers of Today. "she waa
informed Of the existence Of plot to hiss
her off the stage. Having ascertained the
names of her detractors and where they
were to be found, she donned male attire,
TO which her short hair and robust figure
helped to complete her disguise, and went
to the cafe at which the conspirators met.
Here she found them In full consultation,
and taking seat at table she listened
to their conversation for time. AFTER
awhile she addressed the leader, saying:
"I hear that you intend to play trick
upon some one. am very fond OF q Lib
tie practical joke myself and should be
glad If you would allow me to join you
on this occasion"
"'With pleasure was the reply. we
intend to hiss an opera singer of the stage
this evening" ~,
"'Indeed! And Of what is she guiltyS'
ooh, nothing, except that, being an
Italian, she has sung in Munich and VI
emma to German audiences, and we think
she ought to receive some castigation fof
her unpatriotic conduct 81,
"I agree with you, and now please ten
me what I am to do
/" Take this whistle said the leader.
At signal to be given at the conclusion
Of the air sung by Rosina the noise WILL
begin, and you will have to join In
al shall be very glad to do So said
the singer and put the whistle In her
pocket.
"In the evening the house wos packed
every seat was occupied-and the au'
dience warmly applauded the opening
numbers Of the opera. In due course
Nine. Alboni appeared, and at the point
at which she was about to address hen
tutor few of the conspirators began to
make q disturbance, not waiting for the
signal.
"Without showing any concern, Nine.
Alboni walked down to the footlights,
and, holding up the whistle, which waa
hung to her neck by ribbon, she e1'
claimed: Gentlemen, are you not little
before your time? I thought we were not
to commence whistling until I had sung
the air.
"For moment q deathly stiffness pre-
vailed; then suddenly the house broke IN.
to thunders of applause, which was led BY
the conspirators themselves"

The Next Race,

In the next political contest Senator Mo
Lauriu will represent the views, and receive
the votes, Of the business men of the State.
The manufacturers, and other business men
will support him, while the strongest efforts
will be made to induce the farming element
to line up against him, but as the farmer Is
benefited by better transportation facilities
we do nos see how the ia rmer will vote
against hie interest.

The Reason.

Many reasons have been assigned for the
defeat of the government appropriation OF
s25OOOO to the Charleston Exposition. One
GOOD citizen said: I'VE didn't deserve It,.
How can State expect government aid as
long as it tolerates slavery. as is done IN the
Anderson ockades. and allows such political
intolerance as was exhibited in Mccormick
in the shooting OF a man while at WORK on
his own prenlses?" 1t might be said that
the News and Courier, as evidenced IN It's
spiteful headlines and ill.humored editorials,
did nothing to help Charleston.

THE CHARM OF THE ORCHARD.

Orchards are even more personal in
their charms than gardens, as they are
more nearly human creations. Orna-
ments of the homestead, they Subordi-
date other features of it, and such is
their sway over the landscape that
house and owner appear accidents with
out them. So men delight to build in
an ancient orchard, when so fortunate
as to possess one, that the may live in
the beauty of its surroundings. Or
chards are among the most coveted
possessions: trees of ancient standing
and vines being held firm friends and
royal neighbors forever. The profits,
too, are as wonderful as their longevity.
And if antiquity can add any worth to
a thing, what possession has a man
more noble than these? So unlike most
others, which are best at first and grow
worse, till worth nothing; while fruit
trees and vines increase in worth and
goodness for ages. An orchard in
bloom is one of the most pleasing
sights the eye beholds: as if the firma-
ment had stopped to the tree-tops and
touched every twig with spangles, and
man has mingled his essense with the
seasons, in its flushing tokens. And
how rich the spectacle of the autumnal
harvest.
Behold the bending boughs, with store of
fruit they tear,
And what they have brought forth, for
weight they scarce can bear.
Apples are general favorites. Every
eye covets, every hand reaches for
them. 1t is noble fruit; the friend of
Immortality, its virtues blush to be
tasted. Every Muse delights in it, as
its mythology shows, from the gardens
of the Hesperides to the orchard of
Plato. A basket Of pearmains, golden
russets, or any of the choice kinds,
standing in sight, shall perfume the
scholars composition as it refreshes his
genius. He may snatch wildness from
the woods, get shrewdness from cities,
learning from libraries and UNIVERSE
ties, compliments from courts. But for
subtlety of thought, for sovereign sense,
for color, the graces of diction and be-
havior, he best betakes himself
Where on all sides the apples scattered lie,
Each under his own tree.

Millard and Willard.
Two Jolly Sea Dogs Who Can Hardl,
Tell Themselves Apart.

Two Jolly Sea Dogs Who Can Hardly
Tell Themselves Apart. -.
Nine out of ten persons having bust
ness with the four-masted schooner
Thomas S. Dennison can not tell
whether they have been talking to
Capt. Willard Wade or Capt. Willard
Wade. The masters are twin brothers
sailing from Maine and both are
masters of big coast schooners.
They are about 35 years old and there
are only two men in the shipping COM
munity who are able to say that they
know one from the other Persons who
have known the men for 10 years state
that they cannot distinguish them.
They not only look like two peas out of
the same pod, but their first names are
as nearly the same as possible.
The shipping interests distinguish
them as Capt. Wade Of the Thomas S.
Dennison and Capt. Wade of the NADIA
line Cooney. Their Christian names
are generally omitted, and the names
of the vessels they command are used
to signify who's who. When both are
in port at the same time, as happened
recently, confusion follows. They
come from Waldoboro, Me-, and are
typical down East shippers, dressing
exactly alike and having the same
mannerisms and same Maine dialect.
After years of observation two ship
brokers, who handle the captains YES
sells, are able to tell one from the other
by a slight variation in their voices.
Otherwise they are exactly alike.
When they walk the street together
those having business with the masters
stand off and wait until they separate,
fearing to approach the wrong skipper
and waiting for clue to the identity
of one or the other.
When both were in Baltimore recent
ly the captains had different ship chand-
lers. The mixup was continuous and
the ship chambers frequently fell into
one another's arms in despair to find
out who was Captain Millard Wade and
who was Capt. Willard Wade. One
brother has often had to listen to the
business transactions of the other
brother.
Some time ago the twins sailed in
the same vessel, one as master and the

mate of assulting him and swore out a
warrant for his arrest. The twins heard
of the movements. At sea the captain
wears shore clothing while the mate is
dressed in working clothes. When the
policeman and the seaman came aboad
to make the arrest both captain and
mate were dressed in their Sunday best.
The seaman stood dumfounded, as he
could not tell one from the other; and
no arrest was made. Not long since
the brothers were together at their
home in Maine. 1t happened that each
had bought new suit of clothes in
different Southern ports. They had
never been worn, and by strange coin
cidence both men put on the new suits
on the same day. When they faced
each other the twins were startled to
see suits of the same style, color and
cut. When they walked together
through the streets of Waldoboro the
natives stood astonished. They could
not tell Millard from Willard.-Wor-
cester Paper.
