Murphy e Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, November 3.-Mail reports this morning indicated better crop out look in Alabama since 1t was asserted that the crop failed to suffer to the ex- tent expected by last weeks frost. while in some instances the freezing weather was beneficial. A feeling of depression prevails in cotton circles and the pros pect is that values must give way before the market is again in attractive shape for spectators to take hold with confi- dence Liverpool looks on calmly and local spinners apparently cannot be budged. In other words, the speculative element are in no mood for taking hold regardless of the question of the size of the crop, no matter whether it may prove big or small, but should the market go off as 1t is expected it will, the dormant interest will be induced to come in. Ab- sence of business except in a trff1ing way was the early feature today. Cables were spiritless, and there was killing frost in northwest Texas and quite low tempera- ture, but all this failed to arouse the confident bull interest or influence the bear clique. The market rallied shortly after the opening on better cables at the moment Final cables showed a slight

Three-fourths of the cost of the paint
ing was paid by contributor who re-
fused to make his name known, while
the museum paid the remainder of the
cost.
The painting is on a wooden panel
and represents the dead Christ, the
Blessed Virgin, ST. John and Mary
Magdalene. At the bottom on the frame
is signed "Opus Carlo Crivelli, 1886"
At the top of the picture is wreath
of fruit.
The background of the painting is in

''If the people of England knew how

a Londoner to an interviewer in Wash

York, l did not expect to find much of
interest to me. That city was series
of surprises. Its modern buildings, with
perfect elevator service and every con-
venience, made a great impression on
me. l did not expect to find any build
ings in this country which would COM
pare with those of the old world in
architecture, but a ride through the
streets of Washington was enough to
convince me that my ideas of America
were very erroneous. The capitol Con-
gressional library and other govern
ment buildings are as beautiful as any
buildings In the world, and their inte-
riors surprise all Europeans. 1t takes
the Yankee to equip building with ev-

New England Dialect.

The professor of Latin in a New

months claimed that stories of New

gagged for general housework.
The professors study is a good sized
room, and, as he is fond of plenty of
air, he finds three windows and a door
no more than sufficient to provide a
current. When the new handmaiden
had been in the family a week, she
passed through the hall one cool morn

professor, reused by dry cough from

DR.. Alexander f. Chamberlain says
in the Popular Science Monthly: TT
has been argued that two hours phys
zeal labor per diem would suffice were
the product economically distributed
to keep the whole world well supplied,
SO great has been the advance in labor
saving machinery. methods of trans
portation, etc. Is it altogether unrea-
sonable to suppose that two hours in
tellectual work, under right conditions
and with economic distribution of the
product, would suffice to keep the
whole world supplied here also? Two
hours of every ones best would be
something worth achieving, physically
and intellectually. An end something
like this is the ideal to which things
are bound to tend. Some poet of the

the American people, .nonpathological
in reality, is perhaps the groundwork
for this achievement"

A CoNsECRATED PICTURE.
How 1t Affected n Model, the Artist
and NobIeman.

A poor Bohemian gypsy girl of re-
markable beauty was employed by a
German artist to sit for one of his

unfinished painting of the crucifixion
and asked him who that wicked man.
was and what he had done to deserve
such a terrible punishment.
The artist smiled at her ignorance
and told her that the man nailed to the
cross was not wicked, but good above
all good men in the world.
From that time her interest in the
story of the cross never ceased. She
was utterly untaught, and it was by
her questions-rather grudgingly an
swered by the painter, who had no
real Christian sympathy-that she got
her first knowledge of the Saviour OF
mankind. Noting her employers lack
of feeling, she said to him one day:
II should think you would love him
if he died for you"
The remark fastened itself in the
artists mind. The death of Christ had
appealed to him as a pictorial tragedy.
The divine life of Jesus had never
touched him. The ignorant Bohemian
girl had presented the subject to hi
in another way, and it would not let
him rest till he sought religious coun-
sci and ultimately became servant
and worshiper of the Crucified.
Under the inspiration of a new love
he finished the picture, and it was
hung in the Dusseldorf gallery, with
this inscriptions: 81 did this for thee
What hast thou done for me"
Some time afterward he met his
former model there, weeping in front
of the painting This time he could
speak to her as a Christian.

the poor Bohemians tool"
"Yes."
ciple more.
A few months later, dying in a gypsy
camp not far from the city, the girl
sent for the artist and thanked him.
II am going to him now" she said.
Il love him and know he loves me-"
Years afterward a frivolous young
nobleman looked on the same picture,
and the study of it and the rebuking
pathos of its inscription so moved and
influenced him that he consecrated
himself to the service of God. The
young man was Count Zinzendorf, the
