 New York opened with May at S05 or to 3 points better than last nights close; improved an additional point or two when May touched 807, iron which point it sold off, selling as low IS 798. July opened at S09, sold as high as S10, and as low as SOP dur ing tie session. The market was dull and blt little business done. News was starce and of no consequence. Spots suffered loss of 1-16. Dull sales of only 20 bales for eonsump- tion; mddling 5-16 cents.
 New Orleans cotton market opened with May on first call, selling at 79S. sold as low as 793 and up again to 798, the range of fluctuations being within these two points. Weather conditions throughout the South gen erally were favorable today Re ceipts at the ports were about up to expectations, they figuring some 10.- 900 bales, as against 5,200 for the same day of last year Estimates for New Orleans and Houston for tomor- row figure, combined, 5,40O to 6.40O, as against combined of 3.015 for the corresponding day of last year. The Weekly Insight which came out to- day showed an insight this week of S2,S66, against 66,430 for the same week of last year, 67,060 in 1899, and 64,135 in 1898. Total insight to date. 9,3O3,394. Spots were unchanged with sales of $500 bales; middling. SIS cents The market rallied just before the close from the low point of the day and sold up to 4 points, on profit taking by the shorts.

THURSDAY, DEC. S, 1901.

THE Secretary of the Navy, in his
annual report, recommends large IN
crease in the navy, not only in the
number of vessels of war, but in the
number of men and officers. Speak
ing of the necessity for additional
ships and men, the report says:
HThe navy today is a far greater
factor in our relations with the world
than it was before the recent national
expansion, which includes Porto Rico,
the Hawaiian islands, the vast area of
land and sea in the Philippines, and
our obligations to Cuba. If we are to
have a navy at all, it must be COM
mensurate with these great extensions
greater in international even than IN
territorial importance. This necessa-
ri1Y involves the construction of more
naval vessels, their manning, exercise
and maintenance"
There are not enough men and 9TH
GERS now IN the naval service to prop
er1y man the ships at present under
construction. The report therefore
recommends an increase of so per cent
in the number of naval cadets now al
lowed by law, and an addition of seven
hundred and fifty marines and three
thousand sailors to the enlisted forces
of the navy in order that they may be
drilled in preparation for the COM
p1etion of the ships.
Congress could make no better dis
posa1 of the surplus which has accu-
mulated in the treasury than to apply
part of it to supplying the needs of the
navy. Any expenditures made neces-
sary by the obligations imposed upon
this nation by the far-reaching and
unforeseen results of the Spanish war
will be approved by the people.
The unfortunate controversy which
has ragged between the higher officers
of the navy since the battle of Santi-
ago has served one good purpose in
directing the attention of the people at
large to the navy and they have bet
ter knowledge of the needs and person
mel of that branch of the government
service than ever before. In examin,
ing the record of the navy, they have
found little to condemn and much tc
be proud of. In the words of Adm1ral
Schley, "there is glory enough for alp
in the record of past achievements
and the navy should have everything
necessary 10 maintain the present
high standard of efficiency.

The Merchants Club, of San Fran
cisco, has instituted practical reform
by agreeing to withdraw all support
and advertising from the yellow pa
pers of the coast. The Merchants
Club is composed of the business men
of San Francisco, and if they adhere
strictly to this agreement it will be
more effectual in correcting the exist
ing evils than any law that could be
enacted. No paper can become a pay
ing investment without advertising
and without it the yellow journals
would soon have to suspend publica'
ton. The men responsible for the
yellow papers are without heart OF
conscience, and the appeals to their
moral natures have been worse than
useless, but the Merchants Club
seems to have found the one vu1ner-
able spot in their armor. If the mer-
chants of the other large cities of the
country follow the good example set
by the San Francisco merchants and
withdraw their advertising from the
offensive sheets, great change for
the better in the methods and conduct
of the yellow journals will follow at
once

The fact that most Of the immigrants
coming to this country last year settled
in the populous states Of the east in
stead of going to the newer sections Of
the west, which most need immigrants,
is a feature Of the immigration prob

connection the commissioner Of immi-
grafton suggests that congress make
laws ''for the purpose Of distributing
the alien population with some refer
ence to the Industrial law Of supply

ever, how congress can prevent the
newcomers from going wherever they
choose after they have once been adj
mitted.

DRESSING THE CHILD.

Comfort.

Have Regard For It's Feelings and
Comfort.
The recent death Of Kate GreeuaWay
brings to my mind the subject Of chill
dren's dress. No one but those who
lived in her day can appreciate the
benefit she conferred on tiny suffering
humanity. With her clever sketches OF
small men and women in artistic and
suitable costumes she entirely revolu-
tionized children's dress. Before that
time little boys and girls Of four and
five were rugged out in ridiculous and
painfully uncomfortable limitations Of
their elders. The little boys wore long
trousers and top heavy hats. The little
girls actually had their gowns made In
two pieces with tight bOdiceS p1nched
In at the waist and heavy gathered
skirts. 1t was thanks to Kate Green
away that one piece frocks and
guimpes came into fashion and that all
the weight Of child's loosely cut gar
ment was suspended from it's shout
ders, as it was proper that 1t should be.
No one but a foolish and unprogres-
sive mother will dress her children un-
comfortably nowadays. The woman
who makes her little son ridiculous by
tricktng him out in curls, buckled
shoes and generally picturesque"
costume Is way behind the times.
Neither does she succeed in her foolish
desire TO make him Look like an embryo
nobbeman or a small multimllllonaire.
The children of the rich are the very
ones who are most simply dressed.
The doctrine of health, of strong limbs
and Of a bright, happy disposition

heirs and heiresses to fortunes run

a hale and hearty but hoary headed man Of
eighty-two. and Lou Wilson. a plump and
pretty lass. left their homes in Halifax
County. Va, two days ago and went to
Henderson, n. c., where they were made
one. They We're accompanied by Giles Ford
and Henry Wise. two young %nelshbors, who
We're aiding them in their arrangements.
While enroute from Henderson to Spring.
nope, where the couple intended to locate,
a storm came up and the welded pair de-
ctded to stop at a neighboring house, while
Ford and Wise went to S%prinshope. One
of the young men returned with the buggy
the next morning and took away the win
some bride, telling her somewhat dilapidat-
ed better half that a vehicle would be along
shortly for him.
The bridegroom grew uneasy, not only
on account OF his bride. but because of the
fact that his trunk which had gone on be-
fore, contained $1,000 In currency. He sent
a telephone message to ~Springhope, causing
the arrest of Ford and Wise. He then hast
ened to the place and found both wife and
money safe. The young men were both set
free.
MIR. and Mrs. se!l;xon then left tow in
a buggy, but the following morning the
young bride returned alone. having left her
aged partner some eighteen miles out in
the country. Since then the young lady has
disappeared and it is not known where she
