Deserved B ter
The inter school contest in decla-
nation was held at Stafford, Ari.
zona, in Todd's hall, Friday night,
April 25th, 1902. Stafford was
represented by Beula Olney and
Elwood Worsham; Thatcher by
I izzie Young and Katie Claridge;
TaIkai by Cornie Garstaa and
Willie Guna, and Globe by Frank
Langan and Muriel Needham.
The judges in the contest were
Rev. McIntier, DR.. Butler, and
Messrs. Bunch, Kim ball and Solo
mon. Two gold medals were
! awarded for first and second hon
ors, respectively, and these were
presented in. few well chosen
words by Rev. McIntier on behalf
Of the judges.
The interest in the contest CEN
tered in three contestants, though
all were good and much above the
average The grading was on ar
ticuIation, enunciation, gesture,
memory, ease and grace, and gen.
eral effect and the grades were as
0llows:
Katie Claridge, 4S0 points;
BeuIa Olney, 445; Frank Langan,
444; Muriel Necdhan; 428; Elwood
Worsham, 4 6; Lizzie You <, 800;
Villa Guna, 36l and Cornie Gar
staa, 339. The first medal was
awarded to Katie Claridge, of
Thatcher, and the second to Beula
Olney, of Stafford. The judge di-
sected that honorable mention be
made of the work Of Frank
Langan, of Globe, who acquitted
himself with great credit. In this
connection it is only fair to state
that many peop in Stafford did
not hesitate to say that they
thought him entitled justly to the
second honor, if not to the first;
but for the low grade Of 63 given
him by DR.. Butler, If Stafford, he
would have taken the second
honor with several points to spare
All Of franks other grades were
over SO except one, which was
only 80, and this being the case,
one can hardly refrain from think
ing that these should be no such
disparity in gradin5 except for
the matter of prejudice.
However, all concur in saying
that Frank Langan and Muriel
:. Ncedham both acquitted them
S Ives VITA unusual credit, and
they both proved to be represen-
talives OF whom Globe may well
feel proud. Both were well treat
ed by the people Of Stafford in gen.
eral and no complaint is filed on
that score. Owing to the fact that
favorable excursion rates could
not be secured on the railroad no
one went from Globe except the two
contestants and Mrs. Ii. II. Need
ham and Rev. E. o. McIntier.-
John W. Wilkinson in Globe Bell
and ImeS
Mr.. Wilkinson made a grave
error in asserting that it was a
matter Of prejudice on the part OF
DR.. Butler in his grading. Al
tlough We have never met the
gent eman we are positive on this
point for DR. Butler was stranger
mere, having arrived direct from
New York the evening before the
contest. Aud us be had no ac
quainlances here ut all it was i'm
possible for him to be prejudiced

 NEW ORLEANS. Feb 5.-Llverpools course day were quoted unchanged while deliveries a very steady undertone similar to that exist, ket. the foundation of which Is the problem that traders are anxiously endeavoring to solYe. It is probable that lighter receipts are exercising some influence abroad. though the arrivals at Liverpool continue free and this fact alone would ordinarily prcsage an easier feeling. but there appears to be some reason for anxiety about the extent of the supply the remainder of the season.
 Moderate activity developed here. The di- unfinished movement attracted a better deman and the volume of transactions increased some what, though after the original advance es- abolished, fluctuations were confined within a range of points. This due to the acceptance of moderate profits by recent puf- chasers. Closing quotations are 395 points above yesterday.
 Much has been said ani written about the magnitde of the speculative long interest and its menace to the ma ket. yet the prot as e period of large receipts failed to cause any manifestation of weakness on that side and 1t would be a peculiar incident if the DO iti0n was surrendered al this time. when hopes fo 8 lighter m vement are being realized even though 1t be att buted la gely to bad weather Some improvement Is nNted in the spot situa tion, and if the demand in that dcpartm, mt proves sufficient to take of immediate deliveries, a growing stea !iness will d ubt e S be observed, which will be intensiged if clear weather deVel pc no fnater.al increase over the present movement.

KISSING GOES our OF FAVOR
Women No Longer Greet Each Other With osculatory Demonstration.

The kiss is going out of favor. It Is. perhaps as popular as ever between the sexes, but not between members of the same sex. A few years ago when two women on terms of friendship met they Invariably saluted each other with a kiss. Now they simply shake hands, as men do. and are apparently just as we'll sat-
 At a country church not far from Chicago, where everybody seemed to be related to everybody else, before the morning service on Sundays regular osculatory meeting was held in the ves- tibule, even the rector being sometimes Involved; though. of course, without scandal. for nothing less than second cousins were expected to salute him. After service adieus were said in the same warm fashion. and then the flower of the countryside drove away we'll pleased with itself.
 Sometimes small boys and self-con- scious youths writhed out of the grasp of those who would caress them and managed to elude their pursuers, but generally everyone submitted with the best grace he could muster to a cere- mony that was plainly perfunctory, but done in the best interest of the commu- nity.
 A little later than this the cheek began to be offered for the salute instead of the mouth.
 parent, was an expedient intended to let ones friends and relatives down easy before ceasing to kiss them altogether, for it was shortly after this that the masculine grasp of the hand came into such vogue. Said grasp seems now more than popular. One rarely sees a warmer greeting between two feminines in pub lie. but 1t seems sufloient to express a rare degree of cordiality. The bachelor girl would scorn anything more enthusi- astic. of course. and her mother almost as rarely forgets herself
 Occasionally some white-haired old lady tndulRes in some show of tenderness when people are about. but she quickly checks 1t as she remembers that she may have an audience
 After all, why nay not a warm clasp of the hand express as much affection and sincerity as a kiss? Perhaps 1t may. Perhaps 1t expresses more. At all events, femininity seems to think 1t the most fitting greeting at this period of the worlds history.

American Policy in Philippines.

Tt Is Increasingly evident" says The Boston Globe, that the American pco- pie can neither be banboozled nor driv- en into supporting blindly a policy in the Philinpines merely because 1t Is styled at the White House our American policy.
 They wish to know. and they mean to know. too, if such a thing is possible. the plain facts regarding the establish ment of Weyler rec )ncentrauon' methods in the Philippines. as well as the pre- texts advanced therefor. They wish to know. and they mean to know. how far and under what excuses the continuance of slavery under the Moros is tolerated in the Sulus.
 The policy of silence and consent as to the Philippines has had its day and opportunity. Already 1t has gone too fast and too far in the Philippine Islands

"as 1t ap- pears to be assumed that they will un. der the new treaty now being negotiated with Denmark. they will come without any previo-Is discussion of the desira- bility of their acquisition before the American people.
 "They will come also with the remem- brance that the subject of our buying them was before an American Senate some thirty years ago, a body of at least fully equal intelligence to that now sit- ting, and that after a full consideration of the merits and demerits of the prop osit4on for the purchase it was rejected with emphasis by large majority to which men of all parties contributed
 "In the arguments then made on the question it will be found also that not a man of the Senate on either side ever suggested the possibility of such a con- struetion of the status of the territory of the islands toward this country as the eccentric decision of the Supreme Court of the United States has since fixed upon it,"

 NEW YORK, Feb 5.-The feature of the early market advance of points in March and i@2 for other months. Cables were satisfactory and much more so than looked for. but the great point after all was the small receipts and despite the conflicting views as to the cause the fact that they are still showing small, compared with last year. helps prices and makes bears reluctant to make any effort to keep the market down. [ In fact there is greater disposition generally to take the bull side, inasmuch there is now greater probability than was thought possible until recently of making a crop considerably under the extremely high estimates. March was up points before noon foreign buying Cables rose ] point and the receipts at all ports were 22. GOO against 25.ooo last year.
 Just how the trade stands the market is not known. All sorts of reports circu- lated on this point. The so-callrd bull clique is causing good deal of discussion. Immense Wall Street concerns said to have com bined under the lead and advice Of a small crop champion with the determination of hold ing on for a long pull, even if 1t extends into the Summer An advance of no less than 2 cents is the plan according to those who pretend to know what is going behind the curtain. One report has it that two firms holding majority of the March contracts will take them up, having bought March when it was 10 points below May. The statement is made that they will sell May with the in- tention of delivering the cotton they took in March.
