SAG HARBOR.

James A. Herne was a typical pas
toral writer. His beautiful tales are
simple but forceful His characters
truthful and natural, such as we meet
when We leave the big city The last
work of this great author is Sag Har-
Dor, which may aptly be termed a
symphony of the sea shore. The story
is of two brothers, who fall in love with
the sac maiden. The struggle between
love and duty is equally borne by each
of the three involved, and it is not until
the end of the play that the audience are
satisfied of a happy arrangement. The
clumsy writer would probably have kill
ed one of the brothers in the last act,
but Mr.. Herne permitted no tragedies to
enter into his works; of Dathos and hui
NOR he gave plenty, but horrors, never.
Pretty Sag Harbor" will be seen at the
Academy of Music next Thursday, Janu-
ary End. and Miss Chrvstal Herne will
play Martha Reese. Reserve seats go
on sale Tuesday. Prices $1.5O to 25 cents.

H. AND B. BEERS MARKET LETTER.
Especial to News and Observer


New Orleans, La, Dec. 2S.-Liverpool
advices were very disappointing and our
market in sympathy opened at to 5
points lower, but later improved 5 to
points, notwithstanding the heavy re-
ceipts, easing off subsequently, closing
unchanged to one point higher. Port re-
ceipts today were $4,000 in excess of last
Saturday and $4,000 over the same day
last year. The four principal interior
towns, received $4,000 today against 21,-
600 last year, consequently it will be
seen that the movement, both at the port
and interior towns is heavy. However,
these who are in favor of the article are
ignoring these facts temporarily in an
ticipation of marked falling off in re-
ceipts next week, as it is thought the
inclemency of the weather may be in
strumental in retarding the same.
Bombay receipts for the week were
71,00O, against $4,000 last year, aggre-
eating 100000 from September 1st to date,
against 2S3,000 last year or an increase
of $4,000. The Egyptian receipts during
the week were 275,000 cantars, against
125,000 last year, and the total received
from September 1st to date has been
1000, against 302,60O last year, an ex-
cess of $4,000. For the moment i'm
portant statistics are not considered, but
the above figures confirm the claims
made by European correspondents that
India and Egypt have made large cot
ton crops, which naturally has a bear
ing on consumption requirements as was
evidenced last year when European
spinners curtailed American consumption
by taking largely of India cotton.
The trade takings of American to date,
owing to the unsatisfactory textile con-
ditions in Europe are practically the
same as last year, and Mr.. Ellison in
his circular recognized this, and is be-
ginning to trim on his estimate of 1600,-
600 American, saying the chances are
that it will be less. The probability is
that he will reduce considerably, in the
near future unless there is decided in
crease in spinners takings. From the
light before us we suggest the taking
of the profits, as We think it wise con-
sidering the heavy long interest existing.
Sentient throughout remains bullish, and
any favorable feature will eagerly be
grasped TO occasion a further enhance
ment in values. H. & B. BEER

vieted.
In regard to the use of the name OF

the gold brick men" there has been a
mistake. Mr. Gilmore, their counsel
wired Mr.. Pou at Greensboro, asking him
to appear in the case, but as Mr.. Pou

Impairment of hearing robs one of many
of the joys OF life, exposes to danger, in
terferes with capacity for usefulness,
limits ability to transact business and
earn a living. Many annually abandon
their plans, ambitions and hopes on ac-
count of loss of hearing.
in nearly every case of partial or COM
plete deafness there is another feature
that to many is more troublesome than
the difficulty of hearing-the distracting
head noises. These make such an inn
preston on some as to almost drive them
insane. The everlasting buzzing, snap
ping, rumble to roar. distracts them by
day and prevents dest at night.
Nine cases out of ten of mead noises
and progressive hardness of hearing are
due to catarrh of the middle ear or Of
the tube leading from it to the throat.
1t should be understood and constantly
borne in mind that to restore the hearing
and silence the distracting noises treat
ment is required that will allay inham-
nation in the eustachian tubes, reduce
the congestion and swelling and stop the
secretion of mucus so that the tubes will
be and keep open for the free passage
OF air into the middle ear. No locally
applied medicine will effectually DO this,
only searching constitutional alterna-
tive and resolvent will cure catarrh in
the deep reeesses of the head.
Two acquaintances of the writer were
run down and killed by the cars in one
year. Both had catarrh of the head,
which had extended up the eustachian
tubes, leading from the throat to the
middle ear, and were quite hard of hear
ing. In both cases the coroner's jury
decided that they came to their death
because of inability to hear and heed
signals that were intended for them.

The Hot Wave and the Baimy
South Wind.

The extreme temperatures which have
afflicted many Northern States and cities
in the past week or ten days have pro
duced an extraordinary number Of
prostrations and deaths from heat,
While the Southern States have not
escaped their visitation, it is notable
fact that the extreme heat and its most
fatal effects have been experienced IN
what, from a sectional standpoint, is
called the North that is the terri
tory north of the Potomac and Ohio
rivers. At several localities in that
section the temperature, as observed
and recorded by the Weather Bureau,
has reached and passed the 100 mark on
the Fahrenheit thermometer Among
the many localities where such extreme
heats were noted were Washington,
Baltimore, Philadelphia, st, Louis and
Kansas City, all of which report, at
some time or other in the past ten days,
a Idegree of warmth of 100 and over,
while at many other points the mercury
ranged high in the nineties'
The Gulf of Mexico, a sea 1000 miles
long and 600 miles wide, extending into
the tropic zone and bathing the south
ern coast of the vast Mississippi valley,
exerts an enormous effect in temperine
the climate of the states upon its shores
1t is the south wind which blows almost
through the entire warm season from
this southern sea which makes thu
climate of the Gulf coast States so de
Iightful, and it is only in the pauses o
this balmy and delicious breeze that thu
Gulf coast cities experience intervals o
unusual heat. 1t is the sweet soutl
wind that saves the coast cities on tn
Gulf of Mexico from the extreme heat
of the Atlantic States, and makes thes

The Cotton Crop.

The Times Democrat published this

condition of the cotton crops as CLEANED
bv its correspondents throughout the
cotton belt.
From the information the following
summary is made:
l. tThe original acreage has suffered
an al pyeciable dimunition from various
causes The net increase, as compared
with last year, is probably about 1-@
per cent.
2, 1.-THE crop is very spotted. In the
Carollnas the outlook is gloomy; in Ala
bama and Georgia the accounts vary
from very good to very bad; in Mississ-
iupi,the prospect is, on the whole, dis
tinctly good; Arkansas and Louisiana
are very fair; from. Texas and the In
dian Territory the reports are almost
uniformly optimistic, the drouth 8 I'M
favorable effect on the plant being offse
by the consequent restriction OF the Dol
weevil' activity.
B. The crop is late one, sdesplt
the forcing June weather and the dat
of frost will, therefore, possess SD
preme importance.
Labor is said to be scarce II
some sections, but the complaints o.
this score do not seem to be serious.
