New orleana Cotton Market.

New Orleans, September 16.--In the spot cotton market today the feeling dis- played by both buyers and sellers Is defi- nitey stronger. The sharp upward turn In prices for contracts at all points, fol- lowed by a perceptible shrinkaSe In of ferings at interior points has inspired factors with renewed confidence In the situation; and as a rule, they are now inclined to shade their asking prices above board figures. On the other hand. thus far today, buyers are disposed to view the improvement in the market as but a temporary condition and are hold ing back with hopes of reaction in their favor. Sales, a50 bales. including 1450 to arrive. Quotations unchanged.
 The market for contracts was very steady at the opening today with prices locally ranging from seventeen to twen- ty points above Fridays level. This sharp bulge was in response to the early improvement at Liverpool. A further ad vance In prices was kept down after the opening by free realizing sales and re- newed investments by the bearish con- tingent. Fluctuations were frequent but narrow, covering a range of but three to four points during the day leaving the market at the close thirteen points high CT for September, twenty higher for Oc- tober and twenty-one points higher on the other months.

Lonely Daya.

Among the hardest days we ever live
through are those which follow on
great bereavement. We are stunned If
we had prolonged care for an invalid. or
an anxious time for weeks in sick
chamber, where fever or some other
malaiy has run its course. at the amount
of time left on our hands. We are con-
scious Of our loss at the table, in the
library. after supper. when the postman
rings the bell. when fTienrls call. AT
times the sense Of loss is almost inSup-
portable, and the time dragS Oh slow
footed, that was once so light Of paca.
But there are riffs i'll the FL ON. If
our loved ones have gone to heaven,
they are not, for God has taken them. If
we believe in Christ's assurances OF the
future life, we shall find our loved ones
where there are no more partingS. If We
believe in service there. as i'll service
here, it will soon be great comfort that
they who were about the Masters busi-
ness when abiding with us. are absent
from US, but not absent from him, and
that they arc engaged SIS much and AZ
actively as ever in errands of duty
livinely ordered. Bit by bit to the most
sorr0wful. time and faith bring tender
healing. and we learn to take up the
maimel life and to gather up the frag-
mcnts and to go on in the strength OF the
Lord our God.-Aunt Marjorie, in Chris
tian Intelligenccr.

The shoreless Sea OF Go rs Love.

Better gifts than we can imagine are
held i'm reserve for us. The blessings re-
fine with our refinement and gr@aten
with our greatness. Who can fully ex-
plore the recesSes of light. the reaches
Of divine beauty, the spreading avenues
Of virtue the endless depths Of truth,
the shoreless sea of Gods love? 1t will
require an eternity to reach and realize
the rising degrees Of life and JOY before
the soul once awakened to its true and
highest mission. On the contrary. stay
our upward faith, which gives charac-
ter a drift in the better directions. arrest
our communions with the superior in
fluences, cngroSs us in the world, cast
us into the darkness of eclipse that
atheism draws over the hidden ami
higher universe, or fetter us in the coils
of hcartless creed. and you as surely
repress life from its unfolding as you
would stop the growth of the tree by
denying it the sun and air. There is
no regeneration for us from less to
more of righteousness and peace, save in
the better contacts that Christian faith
and works will secure to us howeVer
perfect we may be) from year to year
and from age to age.

Leading in Prayer.

It is because we believe in the priest
hood Of all believers that we are justl-
fed in the request which we often make
to lrvout members Of the church to
lead in prayer" 1t is q sacred office.
md no one ought to respond to the call
unless he realizes just what it means.
The leader must somehow suddenly for
get himself to such an extent that he
can enter into the moods of many and
voice needs which are not his own. The
Joys and the griefS. the struggles and
the attainmentS. the petitions and the
thanksgivings of his fellows must be so
really his that he can lead the souls OF
others to the throne Of God in the hush
Of those solemn moments. 1t Is bur-
den. 1t is a privilege. There are men
and women who are priests of mighty
power in the worship of the churches.
They can lead in prayer because they
have learned the way Of approach III
secret as they have dwelt with God.
No man can lead who does not know
the way: and no man can lead who does
not know what the responsibility OF
leadership means. Let us make our
souls ready for the high privilege OF
leading in prayer.

committed to his care. He kissed them
and badr the sailors carry his aftec-

him how faithfully he had fulfilled his

SHOT HIS MUSIC TEACHER
Then the Love-Maddened Young
Man Killed Himself.
Sbe Had Rejected Him and He Wayla'o
Her Going Home Letter
Drove Him to Desperation.

Nount Vernon. N. Y.-Because his
,rattr music teacher, Dorothy Treulib.
had refused to marry him. James
Campbell. a young man of this place
waylaid her near her home and after
shooting her through the head COM
mitted suicide by firing another bullet

Miss Treulib is nineteen years old.
She is the eldest daughter OF Albert
Treulib. q merchant of Mount Vernon,
and was related by marriage to the
voung man who attempted her life.
Miss Treulib was returning home
about 8 O'Clock p. M. when Campbell,
who was hidden behind tree with
q revolver in his hand, sprang out and
shot her. The girls father said to

shots in quick succession. went to
the door. and as l opened it heard
Dorothy crying for her mother. She
was living on the sidewalk in a pool
Of blood. Campbell was lying q few
feet away. When L reacned my
daughter she said. oh, papa. he has
shot me and then killed himself With
the assistance Of neighbors l carried
her into the house and then ran for 4

that Campbell was in love with Doro-
thy. He visited, my house for the last
time on Sunday night. He appeared
to he in good spirits and he and Doro-
thy sang and played together all even
ing. When my daughter visited her
aunt, Campbell's sister. Campbell al
ways brought her lNme. We looked
unon him as relative and thought
that Ills attachment for Dorothy was
merely family friendship"
1t was learned that although Miss
Treulib did not regard him seriously
Campbell was desperately in love with
her. Miss Treulib is a blonde and
very attractive young woman. She
has been giving Campbell violin les
sons for some time. Campbell has
been employed as an electrician at the
plant of the Westchester Lighting
Company. in Mount Vernon. He
boarded with his sister, Mrs. Anna
TreuIib. who is Miss Treulib's aunt.
ard whose house the young woman
frequently visited. His sister said that
he had frequently spoken of his love
for Dorothy. but that she had dis
couraged him By telling him that Doro-
thy did not care for him except as a
friend. She thinks that the Boston
letter which Campbell in note left
by him. complained Of as having pre-
cipitated the tragedy, is one which was
written to Miss Treulib few days
ago by an aunt in that city. In this
letter the aunt asked Dorothy to send
her her picture as there was young
man in Boston who would send por-
trait of himself rs soon as it was
received. Mrs. Treulib believes that
this letter drove Campbell to despera-
ton. Camphell's relatives in Yonker's

CITIZEN ARMY FOR AUSTRALIA.
New Federation Taking Step; to Provide
For the Ma: oaal Defense.


Melbourne. Australia.-The idea of q
citizen army for the Australia Com
monwealth is taking very strong
hold Of a large section Of the people.
The scheme which seems most likely
to he adopted is that formulated by
Brigadier-General Gordon. command
ant of the South Australian forces. un-
der which every man who is physically
fit and between the ages of eighteen
and twcnty-one will be taught to shoot,
will undergo an army training for Il
certain number of weeks every year.
and will undertake to join the ranks of
the Federal volunteer army whenever
necessity arises.
The Federal Government would. un-
der this scheme. provide instruction.
arms, accountrementS, ammunition and
uniform. and would pay each man who
made himself efficient bonus of $50
to $50 4 year for non-comS. and regu-
lar army pay for officers.
Each State would raise sufficient
men TO guarantee immunity against at
tack by a foreign foe. and would sup
ply the needs of the empire in the
event of any such emergency as that
which in South Africa has found so
loyal and enthusiastic response. Un-
der this scheme it is calculated that it
would not be difficult to raise within
five years a capable and efficient citi-
zen army of 100000 men.

A CAkNlBAL IN TIE NAVY
Commander Tilley's Story OF the
Savage He Rescued in Samoa
A Fugitive in the Tutuila Woods and In
Fear Of His Life-One OF tho
Absrenda's Crew.

Washington. D. C.-Commander TIL
ley. the Naval Governor of Tutuila. re-
ports to the Navy Department that. as
an act of humanity. he had added
cannibal to the crew of the United
States ship Abarenda. He gives an
interesting narrative Of how be ccme
to give succor and shelter to the
stranger.
II have the honor" says Command
er Tilley. ''to report that 1 have on
board the Abarenda for protection a
Solomon Island native who was found
in the woods of Tutuila. where he had
been fugitive for more than Twelve
years. The man is a savage, is very
black. and deos not speak any IAN
guage which any person on Doard the
Abarenda can understand.
Through an interpreter at Apia
learned from him that he was brought
from the Solomon Islands to work on
German plantation in Cpolu long
time ago; that he was badly treated.
and that he and two companions ran
away and got over to Tutuila on raft.
There they fed to the woods and re-
mained as outcaStS. The two COM
panions are dead. The statement of
the manager of the plantation is that
these men ran away over twelve years
ago, and that he does not want this
man returned.
THE Samoan natives assert that this
man has killed some Of their people,
but hardly believe this, although he
NAV have done so when he was hard
pushed by them. At any rate, the
Samoans were trying to kill him. aud
took him on board ship to save his
life. His people are cannibals. and he
does not wish to return home for fear
that after his long absence he has
been forgotten and will be. Eilled and
eaten.
"He is very industrious and useful
IN board ship, doing willingly all kinds
Of menial work. I have issued q ra-
tion to him. and recommend that he
be allowed to remain on board some
vessel of the navy until he can take
care of himself. At present he is
perfect savage and unable to take care
If himself on shore anywhere. He is
about forty-6ve years of age. and is
:attoed over all his face. He is per-
:ectly tractable and good natured now,
and is liked by the crew. who have
given him his clothes"
