MOVING PICTURES
On the Screen Fifty Seconds, Though
 It Seems Much Longer.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat
 "A queer thing about moving pie tures," said an expert operator in that line, lis the illusion they generally produce as to the time they occupy while on the screen. What is known as the standard exhibition film Is 50 feet long. It is used almost entirely for comic scenes, trick pictures and other effects that are gotten up in the studio of the experts who make them a speciality. Every theatre-goer has seen them, and I will venture the as- sertion that the average man will de- clare they take at least three or four minutes in passing before the eye. As a matter of fact, the picture is on the screen less than one minute. You can easily figure 1t for yourself. The ordi- nary 50-foot film of the kind to which
 I refer is put through the reproducing machine at the rate of sixteen pictures to the second. Each picture is three fourths of an inch broad, which makes the sixteen measure exactly one foot, edge to edge; in other words, the film travels a foot a second-50 feet, 50 seconds. What gives 1t the effect of taking up so much more time Is the immense lot of action that is usually crowded into the brief period it Is in view. Until the moving picture was invented, I don't think anybody had the least idea how much could be done in fifty seconds. It seemed hardly enough time to turn around in, yet when the experts began to study it's possibilities they found it was ample for hundreds of little pictorial come dies that have since delighted audi ences all over the world. It is entirely a matter of rehearsal. A subject Is selected generally calling for from three to four people, and every detail of the business or action Is carefully worked out in advance. Suppose, for illustration, that a comic burglary Is the topic; the business skeleton might run something like this: O4d gentle man dozing in parlor; enter burglar; old gentleman awakes; burglar hides; enter policeman, searches the room, collars old gent; they fight and roll on the floor while burglar suddenly emerges and leaps out of the window. That doesn't sound particularly side splitting, but in the hands of intelli- gent comedians 1t can be made really very funny. The all-essential thing is to crowd 1t into the 50 seconds, and to that end each bit of action Is care fully timed and made to fit into each other bit like so many well-geared cogwheels. The old gentleman's start led yawn, the burglars glance around the room, and every step, movement and gesture from beginning to end is calculated with the utmost nicety, and at last, after dozens of rehearsals, the sct Is attempted before the recording imacfine. If everybody is lucky, it goes through on schedule time, but the slightest hitch is fatal, and if one occurs the film is spoiled and they mast try ali over again. No wonder it seems impossible to future specta- tors that so much could transpire in 50 seconds"

MANCHESTER MARKET.
Chief Feature of the Week Was Per
 'sistent Decline in Cotton.

Manchester, March A-The chief feat ure of last weeks market was the per- sistent decline in cotton, which caused a suspension of operations. Buyers are hesitating until more settled conditions shall have restored confidence. Such trade as was done resulted from the accept ance of lines hitherto refused, rather than from fresh inquiries The strong ad- vance in cotton during Iie latter part of the week is generally attributed to the improved conditions in China stimulated business in yarns and cloth The latter showed increased inquiry in most direc- tions, with enormous offers at the pre- vious quotations.
 Tn yarns there was a fairly active de- mand for parties who did not care to run risks and a moderate business was secured.

are important ones and in every instance
are vast improvements on the present code
of laws. 1t is believed tlst Aioaldes' juris
dictlon for violation of municipal ordinan-

municipal magistrates. The law permitting
the People to compel an accused to testify
against himself will also be changed, and

person has also been changed. There ar'

Current News Notes,
Local And General.

After more than thirty minutes of tug
ging, pushing and heavy mass plays on the
Country Club Field yesterday afternoon
both the Pioneers and the Intrepids failed
to score. There was large attendance on
hand to witness the first football game ever
played in an American tropical possession,
and although the wearers of the red were in
a large major ity, the blues amply made up
for it in the lustiness OF their shouts and the
encouragement given their supporters. AS
early as three o'clocS the crowd began to as.
semble on the field, and many of the best
known rooters and public shouters were on
hand. Uncle Bill had his m;ustache re-.
moved 80 that the sound of his voics would
reach every corner OF the field, the man
with the megsphone was over on the red
L line giving the Umpire instructions, and
Little Boy Blus sat on his perch and viewed
the heavy ,scrimmsges with unconcealed
contempt. Tee game was grand success
from first to last and every spectator seemed
to enjoy the exhibition thoroughly.
In the first hall both teams went to work
with vigor and heavy scrimmages, piled one
on top of the other was the order of play.
Both teams played the same game, and the
in the same old way one after another. To.
wards the end Of the half and within about
two minutes of time call the reds had the
bail within yard of the blue goal, but by
a supreme effort, pretty run of about tan
yards by Stedman and the day was saved,
In the second half the old plays of the first
were repeated with heavy line work, and
repeated attempts to rush it by force Of
weight The blues clearly had the test o.
it IN the second half. Stedman, who was
the giant of the day, made repeated gains
through the red centre, and by degrees va:
slowly but surely working his way down tht
field. In connection with this it may b:
said that the Blue fullback was mserably
supported by his line, all his gains being
made alone and by the sheer weight of hi
own body and persistence. Had he beer
mole ably supported he would surely hav'
tae second half the bali was on the red fif
teen yard line.
The feature OF the geme Were Magiuniu
run of thirty yards, Grugan's splendid inter
ference, Geo. Towdt's tacking, Stedman wal
the whole game and the pretty all arount
play ing of Andy Crosus, who was never ou
of it alth ugh he suffered severe blow il
the ribs Ia the early part Of the game. Th'
game was heavy one, with fsw brillian
lplays, but it sCas plain to be seen tha
neither team was sure Of its position or plays
and that the next game will surely open NJ
some pretty plays with plenty Of end work
The Umpiring was anything but good, Mr.
Hugart seemed to be rather timid ON hI
decisions and Mr.. Orabbs' judgment OIL
plays and penalties was very doubtful.
Preparations are under way to play thu
game off on New Years Day.
