MANY AGAIN SAW PROF. BOONE.
Man of Mind and Mystery More
Puzzling Than Ever.

Prof. Boone and the Boone Yaki Co.
again amused and mystifed great
audience last night at Glover's Opera
house. On the first night of his ap.
pearance here every seat in the house
was taken, dozens of people having to
stand, and the audience last night was
wellnight as large. Prof. Boone is
conceded to be the most wonderful
hypnotist and mind reader that ever
visited Americas, and the lnnumerable
feats presented last night made him
more than ever a man of mystery. For
the free entertainment of hundreds he
performed yesterday the incompre-
hensible feat of filling at drugstore,
while perfectly bllndfolded. lengthy

PoCKETED SIX HUNDRED LOSS.
Refused Ten Cents For Cotton And
Took Much Less.

Not few town and county farmers
in and about Americas have charged
to their experience account the loss
sustained IN holding cotton which
they might have sold for II cents some
time ago. One of these, in relating
his experience Yesterday, said he had
just closed out small lot of his hold.
ings at clear loss of 5000. The cot.
ton was marketed in October and the
owner very promptly and emphatically
refused II cents for it as he firmly be.
lieVed it would be worth Is cents in
the spring. But it went the Other
way, and 8 cents is now the top figure
and 1t may go even lower. But thous.
ands of people throughout the South
did the same thing, and are still hold
ing their cotton.

AMERICUs MIGHT BE ADVANCED
IF Suggestion Herein Made Was Only
Needed.

In an editorial on ''The Building OF
Cities, the Albany Herald says
Towns and cities have been started
and built by cotton mills. Lowell and
Fall River and scores of other places
are examples at the north. Augusta,
Charlotte, Columbus, GreenviIle and
Spartanburg are examples in the south.
There are thousands of other big places
that might be mentioned. The live

IS REFUSED COUNSEL
in SCHLEY INQUIRY COURT

Washington, Sept. 2S.-In the Schley
court of inquiry yesterday, letter
was presented from Rear Admiral
Sampson asking to be allowed to be
represented in the court by counsel,
but the court refused to grant the re-
quest on the ground that the court
does not ut this time regard you as n
party to the case"
The principal witnesses of the day
We're Lieutenant John Hood, who
commanded the dispatch boat The
Hawk during the Spanish War, and
Captain Bowman ii. McCalla, who
was in command of the Marblehead
The testimony of both these officers
from Admiral Sampson to Commodore
Schley, and both related to conversa-
tions with the latter.
Captain McCalla gave in detail his
part in arranging code of signals
with the Cuban insurgents and his
communications with them near Glen
fuegos May "a, 1898, when it was
learned definitely that Cervera's fleet
was not in the hnrbor there. He said
that Captain Chadwick, who was Ad
miral SIMPSONS chief of staff, was the
only person Mt Key West to whom he
had communicated the signal code.
Captain McCalla expressed the opin-
ion that coaling was feasible of San
tiago at the time Schley began his re
trograde movement. He said no effort
was made to prevent the erection of
earthworks at Clenfuegos by Span
iards, as had been ordered and Schley
did not obey the order to use all haste
in getting to Santiago, which accom-
panied the official notification that
Cervera was there.

Otis, in command of the Department

slaughter of members of Company @

mean that there is anything like wide
spread revolt in that province. Con-
cerning the disaster, General Otis
said:
''Samar is in the department of Viz

Hughes has command. This depart
ment includes all the central islands
of the Philippine archipelago During
the last month our soldiers have been
active in an attempt to subdue rebel
lion. which is confined to the bonn-
