R. M. Scale & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

IBS SpeClal Le1seu "He'J
 New Orleans, Oct. R-Liverpool was quite impassive to the bullish nature or yesterdays statistics, evidently intending to convey the impression that spinners have purchased sufficient cotton recently to permit a temporary withdrawal from the market but even if such is the case, the greatly depleted stocks there must be replenished, and this necessity IS re- fiected in good spot demand on this side at full quotations. Opening prices here were slightly lower, but there were fair buying orders at hand which estab- Iished a steady tone and an improving tendency was occasioned later, on report of bad weather in the central and west ern belt, and predictions of colder tenn peratures over Sunday. Closing quota tions are about six points higher than yesterday.
 The weather map is being subjected to very careful scrutiny. As regards the ultimate stze of the crop SC much IS thought to depend on the date of frost that many traders are waiting for the oc- currence of this feature to determine their course. ~
 Should to-day's cold weather predic- tions materialize to the extent of frost temperatures in the belt, speculation will doubtless be strongly influenced towaro the long side and it is possible also that the demand for spots from regular chan ! nels will become more urgent.

H. & B. BEERS COTTON LETTER

Special to The Advertiser
 New Orleans, Oct. 12.-Notwithstanding Liverpool was disappointing. our market opened l@2 higher, improved 4a5 s a,5 addi, ,n conseouence of predictions of colder weather throughout the belt over Sun day, which caused fears of possibility of killing frost materializing The steadi- ness of spot combined to moderate re- ceipts, were also instrumental in acceler- ating the advance. For several days spots have been in good demand and should this keep up it will have ten dency to maintain present values. espec-- iallv if unfavorable weather were to set in throughout the belt. Weather condi- tions, however. for four or five weeks past, have been favorable for the grow, ing crop, and picking has made rapid progress. Holdings in the interior have accumulated, owing to the restricted HS- mand, but the principal question at is. sue Is when will killing frost be realized? Speculation is not attracted to the arti- cle, therefore the market will continue to he ruled by the weather, receipts and the demand for spots.

The Professors wOoing.

The experience known as popping
the question is the bugbear of every
man, however confident of his charms
or fluent Of speech. Many original
ways of asking young women to marry
them have been resorted to by bashful
men, but perhaps the most brilliant
suggestion came to a learned German
professor, who. having remained a
bachelor till middle life at last tumbled
head over ears in love with a little
flaxen haired maiden many years his
Junior.
One day, after vainly endeavoring to
screw his courage to the sticking point,
the learned man came upon his Gretch-
en- as she sat alone, darning stocking,
with huge pile of the family hosiery
on the. table. The professor aimlessly
talked on general topics, wondering
how he could lead up to the subject
nearest his heart, when all at once a
happy thought came to him.
Leaning forward, he put his big hand
on the. little fist doubled up inside the
stocking and said hesitatingly:
"You darn, very beautifully, fraulein.
Would you like to darn my stockings
only" om
Fortunately the fraulein was not SO
simple as she appeared. She grasped
the significance Of the question imme-
diately and lost no time in answering.

Maddened by Solitude.

The Canadian northwest is a proba-
tionary haven for wealthy young Eng
glishmen of nomadic instincts. Num-
bers of them annually purchase hunt
ing and camping outfits from the Hud-
son Bay company and strike into the
barren lands to prospect for minerals
or take up land on the prairies. But
most often they return to the civiliza-
ton of the towns with nothing but
hard words for the Wilderness
The construction Of the Temiscaming
railroad induced the younger son Of
one wealthy English family to take a
trip into that outlandish district. He
returned to Ottawa a disappointed
man. TITS the most desolate country

why Girls Cannot Throw.

A great deal of fun is poked at girls
because they cannot throw a stone or
SNOWFALL and hit the person OF thing
they are aiming at. The general idea
as to why girls cannot throw as well as
boys is that they have not acquired the
knack by practice as their brothers
have. Another explanation is given by
medical man which tends to show
that girls could never learn the knack.
however much they tried. .s1. /: g /
When boy throws a stone, he
crooks his elbow and reaches back
with his forearm, and in the act of
throwing he works every joint from
shoulder to wrist. The girl throws
with her whole arm rigid, whereas the
boys arm is relaxed. 5545s X, j
The reason OF this difference Is one

Irish LaceznakfnE,

FIRST DROWNING THAT HAS OC-
CURED AT THE JAMESTOWN
PLEASURE RESORT.
jamestown, May 15.-A. C. Schnur
OF F1ngal. Barnes county, was drowned
ln spiritwood lake Monday. He ar
rived at the lake at about - O'Clock
and after having his team cared for
went to LaBrasche's boat house where
ne secured a row boat and started
along on the lake. He turned to the
west and rowed until something about
zoo yards from Winslow's dock.
II. c. Flint, L. B. Niemeyer and Red
Gleason were on hill about quarter
Or a mile away when they heard pitiful
cries for help. They rushed down to
their boat and rowed quickly to the
place from whence the cries came.
But they were too late. An over
turned boat told the sad story. The
body of Schnur was found in about y
feet of water. He was some distance
from the boat and had evidently made
a frantic effort to reach the shore.
Schnur's body was brought to the
shore where it was ascertained beyond
a doubt that life was extinct.
1T is the belief Of a number that
Schnur tipped the boat over in an at
tempt to anchor. The chill waters of
the lake, his clothing and the sudden
shock prevented him from swimming
and he was helpless. At this season
OF the year the lake is kept very cold
by springs and swimmer unhampered
by clothing would find some difficulty
IN going any great distance
Schnur was 81 years Of age and had
been resident of Fingal for number
OF years. He has of late been EN-.
ployed by Griggs Grocery company OF
St. Paul, firm that makes a business
OF selling direct to farmers. He leaves
wife in Fingal but no children.
After the inquest the body of Schnu1
was taken to Wimbledon and from
there shipped on the 500 to Fingal fo,
burial.
Notwithstanding the fact that Spir.
ltWood lake has been a popular resort
for people for years Schnur is the first
to meet dath in it's waters.

BISHOP EDSALL.
MINNESOTA RECTORs WANT HIM
FOR BISHOP COADJUTOR IN THE
STATE OF MINNESOTA.

FOR BISHOP COADJUTOR IN THE
STATE OF MINNESOTA.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press states
that DR.. Samuel Edsall, missionary
bishop of North Dakota, is developing
great strength as a candidate for the
post of bishop coadjutor of Minnesota
ir succession to the late Bishop Gill
bert. Not that Bishop Edsall is seek
ing the office, for he has not even de-
clared his willingness to accept it if
elected. But now that the time ap-
proaches for the assembling of the
diocesan council at Winona, June 5, to
choose bishop coadjutor, a sentiment
is growing in recognition of Bishop
Edsall's fitness.
In speaking of Bishop Edsall one of
the prominent rectors is quoted as
saying:
I'm the first place, Bishop Edsall has
uncommon executive ability. He had
diplomatic skill, the power of adapta-
ton, a manner that is most winning
while it never lacks the dignity that
would be essential to a bishop. In
North Dakota he has welded together
with eminent success many conflicting
elements. He is also a learned man.
He's not merely a scholar, a good theo-
logian but he knows the secular world
as we'll. He has not forgotten what
he gained while he was a lawyer in
Chicago. He became lay reader and
then rector. His church there, ST.
Peters, prospered nightly before he
was sent to Dakota as bishop two years
ago.
"And he is an admirable speaker in
the pulpit. He is forcible, finished
eloquent, and he exhibits that quality
of earnestness, of evident sincerity
that is the strength of all orators. In
this respect he resembles Bishop Gill
bert. The two men were alike at var
ious points.
HE is acquainted with the north
| west, its people and it's wants. He
has lived with us and he sympathizes
with us as no one could that comes
from another section. He's a fine
specimen of the western scholar and
gentleman. Even his tall figure, his
dignifed, attractive personality are
characteristics in favor Of any ma
called to be bishop"

Old Gooseberry For New Ships.


1t may be ungenerous to dispel a pop
ular delusion, but there is no one
among the thousands who witness
ship launch who does not believe that
the beautifully garlanded bottle Of
wine broken against the stem of a ship
is anything but the choicest brand of
champagne drawn from the admiraPs
cellar. Whenever ship is launched in
a dockyard, the admiralty generously
allow f4o as the cost of the jubilation.
and included in this sum Of E4o is the
item Of 3 shillings for wine. Hence it
follows that not only is the wine not
