 New Orleans, January 26-A disa appointing Liverpool cable came as wet blanket, that market showing no disposition, though re- ported bullish, to the better tone of Ameri- can markets
 Liverpool showed no change in either spots or deliveries at the close. At the opening call here a decline of to 3 points was registered and throughout the day a dull market with small fqetuations charac- terized the entire session. Egyptian crop movement for the week was again small. 90, 900 canters against 21OOOO la st year, a falling off to date of about 1,5OO OOO canters, or the equivalent of some 3OO American bales. , Yet in the face of this loss the total worlds visible of all kinds remains in ex- cess of last year. We think the visible henceforth will slowly increase as compared to last year.
 The principal addition will be the East India growth. The weak feature at present remains the ndisposition of spinners any, where to stock up freely; 91zc cotton seems to forbid change of this policy. break of 12c we believe would encourage free buy ing again and give better promise of bull campaign later on.

AT THE THEATER.

Dan Packard and his opera company
gave two performances of prince Pro
Tenn" before fairly good houses yester-
day.
Prince Pro Tenn" Is not an opera. 1t
is rather a musical melange, which serves
as a vehicle for introducing numerous
specialities and skits. This does not mean,
of course that the piece is devoid of mu-
sic. There are numerous vocal num-
bers, some of which are very good.
Dan Packard is the prince Pro Tenn"
the principal character, which he does
nicely. His songs Tommy Tompkins"
and That's All seemed to take. Others
in the company are Gus Daily, John Saun-
ders, frankie Clarke, Margaret Hall, Min
ME DeLeon and Helen Gould. The chorus
was not large, but its work was good.

When told that he could not make the
arrest he said that he made no further
effort to do that which he thought he
had a right to do.
Mr.. oliver said that he wished to set
his firm right and explained how the
sheriff knew of Patterson's presence in
this city. Mr.. oliver said that he had
requested that the arrest be delayed I'M
til Patterson had finished his testimony.
The attorney read letters from the clerk
81 Lexington court and the sheriff, ex-
pressing a desire to arrest Patterson at
that time In one of these letters broth
err of the prosecutrx stated that the
immediate arrest of Patterson would re-
lieve the defense of what might prove
troublesome witness.
The solicitor general insisted that more
damage had been done by arresting Pat
terson after he had testified. He was still
witness and was to be put back on
the stand. In that event he believed the
nrst question Judge Twiggs would have
put was: Are you under arrest now for
robbery in South Carolina?"
Judge Falligant said that Sheriff
Caughman's actions were an illegal IN
reference of justice and he instructed
Sheriff Schwarz to take charge of the
visiting officer until he could determine
what would be the proper thing to do.
Caughman dined with Sheriff Schwarz
and was taken back to the court house
in the afternoon. At o'clock when II
was learned that Patterson was missing,
Judge Falligant ordered the sheriff re-
leased. Judge Twiggs announced that af-
fairs had taken the turn he expected,
and that nothing more would be seen Of
Patterson he blamed the solicitor gen
eral for the mans escape and said that
II Caughman had been let alone in the
morning Patterson would not have left
the court house so easily.
Judge Twiggs was anxious to let the
jury know that Witness Patterson had
flown and for that reason put Peterson
on the stand before the adjournment.
This witness was to identify Patterson
as the man wanted IN South Carolina
Judge Twiggs called for Patterson so
that he could be identified with a view
10 Impeachment. and Sheriff Schwarz
made the official announcement to the
court that the witness had disappeared.
The court ordered the officers to make
a careful search for the missing witness.
Patterson had not been located up to an
early hour this morning.

Machen is one of the makers of the new
South He has changed the map of Cen
trail Georgia. Fiourishing towns have
sprung up along the railroad lines he
has developed.
Hon. Clark Howell, in an editorial in
the Atlanta Constitution, said of him; ITO
the people of Georgia, Machen is known
principally by the roads he has built
in the South. He has brought adj Geor-
gia within hand-reach of Atlanta. He
is a public benefactor."
While at work on the Covington and
Macon Railroad Machen's health failed.
After much useless expenditure of time
and money he was induced by a friend
who had been cured of nervous prostra-
ton to try Paine's celery compound.
That the remedy was a revelation to him
no one can doubt who reads Machen s
letter:

Gentlemen: I spent many thousands of
dollars, including eight months abroad.

Paines celery compound the remedy 1
ought to nave taken at nrst. Doctors
periodically tinkered at and patched me
up so that my nerves would hold together
for a short while, seemingly just long
enough for my bank account to get a
respite. However, your medicine has side
tracked the doctors. My nerves don't
seem to require any rest, and 1 am in
such good spirits these days 1t doesn't
matter much whether L have any bank
account or not. 1 have determined on
Paine's celery compound as my family
remedy from now on. E. c. Machen.

personally see to the obtaining and ship
ment of the SOIL His plan will be to
visit various sections and meet the lead
ing farmers from whom he will secure
histories of the land from which the sam
pies are taken. To secure samples of the
soil, hole will be sunk down to the sub
soil. The earth will be taken from the
hole, and then the sides will be carefully
shaved down with spade. The earth
so loosened will be taken up, together
with little of the subsoil and will con-
stitute the sample. 1t will represent the
constituency of the soil from the surface
to, and including, the subsoil, and from
it's analysis the government chemist will
be able to divine the elements present
that serve to give cane its sugar-yielding
qualities.
In the same way, samples of cane viii
be secured from the various sections. A
single joint will suffice as a sample. The
joints will be taken when perfectly fresh,
carefully sealed in wax paper to prevent
them from deteriorating, and shipped
to Washington, where they will be treat
ed by the chemist soon enough after they
are taken from the fields to insure their
showing their full percentage of sucrose.
Some months ago Capt. Purse secured
samples of cane that he sent to Prof.
Stubs. The analysis, despite the fact
that the samples were by no means
fresh, showed results that were aston
ishing, proving, as they did, that there
is more sucrose in the average Georgia
and Florida cane than there is in that
raised in Louisiana. The samples that
were secured from Bibb county, Georgia,
at that time, showed richest in sucrose.
Capt. Purse relies confidently, too, upon
the production of sugar from corn stalks.
Prof. F. l.. Stewart of Murryville, Pa,
hos fn Cant Tin,
discoveries that he has made in the
method of securing sugar from corn
stalks, and Capt. Purse declares that
corn, with sugar-cane to follow, when
used for the production of sugar could,
with the establishment of mills make
this section the great sugar belt of the
world.

AS the pioneer of a new system of rail-
road building in the South, Machen knows
what 1t is to live under intense nervous
strain. His JOY at finding in Paine's eel
cry compound a reliable means of restor-
ing his nervous energy is shown in every
line of his letter to the proprietors of this
great remedy.
When thousands of men and women in
every walk of life, from the humblest
to the most famous and honored, volun-
tarily go out of their way to tell others
the great good Paines celery compound
has done them; when the ablest physi-
clans and the best informed pharmacists
not only prescribe and recommend, but
themselves use and find health in Paine's
celery compound. the present great de-
mand for the spring remedy is not to be
wondered at.
Paine's celery compound is the one real
spring remedy known to-day that never
fails to benefit. 1t cures diseases due
to nervous weakness or a bad state of
the blood. The most wide-awake, intelli-
gent part OF every community in this
country are among its most enthusiastic
vouchers and indorsers.
The agreement of opinion among the
best Informed, most observant class of
people, in the well-to-do homes of our
largest cities, as well as in the more
frugal town communities, places Paine's
celery compound far in advance of any
spring remedy.
1t is, in fact. the only spring remedy
ever heard of in the homes of practicine
physicians.

AN EASY WAY

largely an indoor one, but i early dis

eight years l have made It daily prac-
