New York, July 3O.-There has been no
material change in the market for staple
cottons on home trade account and ex-
port demand has been Indifferent. Prices
are unchanged for both staple lines and
fances. The Fall River market is dull
but narrow, print cloths in fair request
under Fall River prices. Hosiery and I'M
derwear for spring is in fair demand.
COTTON.
New York, July 30-The cotton market
started off quiet with prices one to three
points lower and was predisposed to weak
ness during the forenoon under room
selling and almost total absence of out
side buying orders. Investment huying
was checked by further liquidation of
the August interest and disappointing
late Liverpool cables At the 10 vest point
of the morning prices were lown five to
eight points from the closing of last
night.
Receipts at the ports were again very
light. the weather forecast Indicated clear
hot conditions for Texas, Oklahoma, aDd
Indian Territory tonight and tomorrow
and dry goods and cloth market accounts
were rather better than the average at
this season of the year, while demard
for medium grades spot cotton continued
brisk at all points. Toward midlay the
market displayed a steadier tone on pit
covering prompted by fears that the
weekly Government crop weather state
ment would be unfavorable. Noon found
the market steady with prices st about
the opening basis.
Then came the Government report:
This showed the crop to have improved
quite generally east of the Mississippi
River but to be shedding, suffering from
drought, blooming at the top and to be
small west of that line. The statement
as whole was bullishly interpreted and
caused a furry of buying on which prices
quickly worked up to last nights bids.
There was some reaction later under
nervous profit taking by smaller holders.
In the last half hour the market worked
of to almost the lowest point of the day
under further realizing. The close was
quiet, four to seven points net lower.

Of Bowdoin, was a
Tor '' masterpiece of its

Young men about to enter active life
rom college. but TO other young men,
and indeed with the change of few
words to men of all ages everywhere.
Dr.. Hyde took as his text Matthew
xii. 30: "He that is not with me is
against me-; and Luke tx, 80: HE
that is not against us is for us DR..
Hyde said in part:
81. Give your best. Do not look
for a place ready made to fit you, but
fit yourself for a place.
~. Take nothing you do not pay
for at its full price. One-half of the
great world you now enter are
women. The best thing in the world
is fond woman's love. You can pay
for it with nothing less prescious
than the entire respect and devotion
of your own heart.
-. BE brotherly. You remember
how disagreeable it was to have
Young fellows coming here with their
heads full of their own family or
wealth or school accomplishments or
personal Importance. When YOU 90
out into the world do not make the
mistake that those swelled head fell
lows made when they came here.
-. BE self-sacriicing. The great
social claims and the clamor of our
petty appetites and passing passions
never coincide, but are in perpetual
warfare
Every man who follows those pre-
cents is bound to be a useful citizen,
a respected friend and neighbor, ana
one of those who make the world a
better place to live in.

A TIMELY SERMON ADDRESSED
ESPECIALLY TO YOUNG PEOPLE

The Herald has received a copy of
sermon preached by the Rev.
George T. Purves in the Fifth Avenue
Presbyterian church. New York. pub
lished by the Young Peoples associ-
alton of the church. The title OF the
sermon as Drifting" and the fig
ure of n boat in safe harbor being
gradually loosened from its mornings
and carried out to the sea by the cur
rents. is powerfully used to illustrate
the prevailing drift of the human mind
away from faith.
Doctor Purves speaks of the drift OF
agnosticism, of comE1ercialism, and of
science. recognizing in each its truth
and power for greater truth, but also
seeing in each that partial knowledge
or interest which tends to loosen a
mans anchorage in faith and the
Christian hope.
The sermon is eXcellently broad
TO be swept by the waves of these
things but to stand as their critic and
master. He turns scornful eyes on the
weak intellect of men who forsake the
old, tried, established truths of the
spirit for the half truths OF the knOwl-
edge of material things.
The semon is eXcellently broad
minded. there is not particle of de-
sire to scorn the things and knowledge
of the earth. only an account against
the man who neglects the things of
the spiri. and the life after death. Not
less but more, is the argument; not
less knowledge but an increase.

may be obtained through Inc Herald

A BEAR LOOSE
He Fights Viciously, and Before He is
Killed He Causes a Good Deal of
Disturbance on San Antonio Street.

One of the most exciting fights that
has occurred in e. Paso for many years
was pulled off at N. A. Neisius's zoe
on San Antonio street last night at
7:3O o'clock.
Three young bears that have been
kept in a cage there got into a fight
and a female grizzly broke out of the
cage. The wOrkmen, about five in
number. attempted to catch the animal
with lassos but she fought SO fiercely
that the ropes would not stay on her.
ent animals and birds which made the
task of conquering her more difficult.
Mr. Neisius used long Indian spear
on the animal at first but the spear
broke and he was left with no weapons
except sticks.
All the force were brought into SER
vice and the more they worked the
more fierce became the animal. Hav-
ing been wounded with the spear she
fought like a demon and it was a good
task for the men to stay out OF her
reach Several times the beast attempt
ed to get out of the house but this was
prevented by the men throwing box
es in her way.
Finally Mr.. Neisius went for his pis-
toll. a 3S-calibre. but unfortunately he
had only five cartridges. He fired all
of them into the body of the bear but
they had no effect. BY this time the
neighbors in that vicinity had gathered
land the excitement was akin to panic
All the other animals, including a
tiger. wild cat. monkey. and numer-
GUS small animals and myriads OF birds
set I'D a roar of screams and bowls. Sc
terrific was the noise and roar OF the
excited animals and the growls of the
enraged bear that no one could hear
the voices of the other.
Finally a messenger was sent for a
rifle and a small 22-caliber gun was
secured at Dunn's music store. With
this the bear was killed after several
shots.
Mr. Neisius thinks that every shot
fired took effect in the bears body but
failed to kill her. The fight lasted for
over a half hour but no one was hurt
more than a few slight bruises. Box
es of paint and other material were
overturned and the zoo damaged to
the amount of about $50.
The bears were the property of Lord
Beresford. who now lives in Mexico.
He bought them some time ago and
was keeping them here until the
weather would permit shipping, when
he intended sending them to zoo IN
England.

THE ROCK ISLAND-MEXICAN CEN
TRIAL DEAL.
No confirmation of the rumored Rock
Central deal has yet
been received but all the stock reports
indicate that some change has made
Mexican Central more healthy.
Mexican Central stocks have advanc-
ed from IA a few days ago to 151a and
today that stock opened at 15A and
closed at Is. This is taken to mean
that the Rock Island has at least
formed some joint arrangement with
the Central or assumed control Of 1t.
Local spectators are inclined to think
that nothing but a traffic arrangement
has been made.
