The War on Vice
in New York.

The reform wave which: is sweeping over
New York seems TO mean something this
time. There have been many of these spas
modic attempts to eradicate vice in the
great American Metropolis, but outside of
having an occasional "BGc Sunday or
''cloSing up the town" fOrta few days, these
reform eruptions have Not accomplished
much.
This time, ho10ever, serious effort ap-
pears to be made to get at the root OF the
evil and 10 vigorously enforce the lac.
1t was found IN the beginning of the
movement that little reliance could be
placed upon the police and that their Co
operation was not to be counted npon.
The celebrated Committee of Flfteep."
ComrOsed Of some Of the hest known men
in New \ 0rk, would procure positive evid
ence against gamblers and other violatorS
of the law, and upon obtaining warrants
give them TO. the police to serve In some
mysterious way, hopeyer. the guilty parties
alaayS received timely warning, and upon
the arrival of the police nothing could be
found.
These occurrences became SO frequent as
to make the issuing o. warrants mere farce,
those for whom they were intended always
receiving 'Hp' 10 time TO ,scape service.
Justice jerome finally came to the conclu
sion that something must be done to remedy
such disgracelul state OF affairs, and went
personally VITA members Of the Committee
of Fifteen to serve his warrants. The police
were ignored and in fact kept in complete
ignorance OF pr0iec.el raids. AS result
tue gambling house proprlet0rS were canght
entirely unpcepsred and wholesale arrests
lCere made and thousands OF dollars worth
OF gambling paraphernalia seized and des
troyed. Tue gamblers have become panic
stricken and are hiding their stuff and flee
ing from the city.
Other classes Of law breakers are being
similarly treated and it really seems as If at
last there was good prospect of the laws
belng enforced in tue rlng-ridden city OF
New York.
In the meantime excitement runs high,
but it is believed that the present SpaSm OF
virtue viii last-at least until after the next
election.

A young Canadian Giant
Said to be the Biggest Mau in
the World.

A young French, Canadian giant at pre-
sent in Ottawa is believed by his admi.
rers to be the biggest man IL the aoorld.
His name is Edward Beaupre, says Que
bee despatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer"
He is feet s inches tall. His weight
is 3G2 pounds, and his feet are 174 inches
long. Around the arm close to the armpit,
his measurement is 81 inches.
Beaupre is only 20. He is a native of
the Northwest Territory of Canada. His
father was French Canadian and his mother
halibreed.
Up to the age of three the young giant
was no bigger than an ordinary baby of
that age. From that time he grew enor-
mously, until at the age of ten he was
six feet tall.

The Mark Hanna Presidential Boom.
The Senator Laughs, But Ma
tional Commitee Takes it
Seriously.
Perry Heathi's Idea Spreading.

The boom for Senator Hanna for PreSi-
dent in 1904 is at present confined to mem
bers Ofthe national committee, like the mem
bers Of other national committee WHO have
been associated with the senator through
two national campaign. Perry s. Heath
ana Senator Scott of West Virginia, 'cho
have put forward the suggestion publicly,
are not alone among members OF the COM
nittee in beleuing that Hanna is pOsibi-
lity for 1901 The idea was much discu.
ssed about headquarters during the cam
pagn in New Yo. k and Chicago, and evil
IDENTIFY at that time 1t vas a subject of Sc
rious consideration.
There is great deal more in it than the
mere thought Of paying personal compli.
ment to Senator Hanna. The members of
the present nOtiona committees preceding
them, have become so accustomed to the
idea of party management that they seri-
ously believe in their ability to control the
succession to an administration which they
have been instrumental in electing, and Sc
natOr Hanna is naturally the first name to
occur to their minds.
There is no reason to believe that Senator
Hanna himself is a party to the scheme.
Whenever the subject has been brought up
in his preeeuSe lie has laughed at it, and
has given every evidence OF annoyance that
his friends should bring his name forward in
way which might make him ridiculous.
"You had better interview YOURSELF he
remarked Yesterday to a newspaper man
who asked him about the Heath statement.
81 can't lie held responsible for all tue foo
liSb things that are said about me-"

Cotton Letter.

c. w. Lees Cotton Letter to H. D. Coth-
 ran & Co.
 New York, August 29.--After the reac- ton the market started this morning as though on the way to new high level. A number of shorts that had not covered on the break were forced into the mar ket on the advance at Liverpool and later a number of buying orders appeared. Be- fore the day was over prices worked back to about the high level of Monday and there was a general feeling that a number of shorts would not stay over the holiday. The situation in Liverpool Is much as it was last year as far as the near positions are concerned, and every one is looking for an excited holiday market there tomorrow. With shorts nervous and practically little cotton be- ing offered for sale, bad crop has most stimulating effect upon the market. Now that the reaction has taken place there are few who fall to feel the strength of the present market any buying by those who took profits early in the week was liberal.
 New Orleans buying was again a fea- ture with crop news from Texas, stimu- lating sentiment In the South. While the buying was perhaps not as aggres- sive as before the break the demand was liberal from the opening and news was of a nature to encourage such buy ing. As we have stated before We do not look for any thing but a steady mar ket until after the bureau on Tuesday.
 We cannot see anything upon which to short cotton as yet, as the market may work higher very easily as long as crop reports are reduced from day to day.
