NO STRENGTH IN THE MARKET
Cotton Continues to Decline and End
Not Yet.

There was no change yesterday in
the condition of the cotton market,
except that it improved q few points
just before the close. The continued
warm and fair weather throughout the
cotton region is maturing great top
crop and estimates are being greatly
increased. A crop of 11,500,000 bales
would not be surprising, from the out
look at present. Even in the vicinity
of Americas, on many plantations,
picking is still in active progress. Re-
ceipts here at the warehouses continue
good for the season, the total aggre-
eating "a, 900 bales to date. Buyers
are paying top-levsl prices, which is
about Y cents for the better grades.

The six-Einrered Children.

Unique in the history of freaks is
the six-fngered family Of Dresbach,
MINI. The family now consists Of
Mrs. Gaskill and ten children. The
popularity belongs to the mothers
side.
Mrs. Caskill's maiden name was
Olive Cooper. She doesn't know where
she was born, but the family was prob.
ably of New York origin. She remem-
bers only that she was a wanderer
with the Cooper family at an early
age, and that the Cooper family were
basketmnkers and venders; they led
gypsy lives and crossed the continent
from New York to San Francisco sew
eral times.
In the Cooper family there were ten
children. Five Of them had six fingers
and five ofSthem had not. The great
est popularity is that every alternate
child in point Of age has the extra fin
ger, and those who are not six-fingered
are blessed with an extra toe, and
those who have six toes have webs
between their toes, The extra toes
and fingers have well developed nails.
Exactly the same conditions are found
IL the Gaskill family. Mrs. Gashill
was married to Zacheus Gaskill thir-
ty-two years ago, and has resided in
Dresden since then.-St. Paul Dis

The Passion For Things Good lie Planted

Apropos to the recent discussion OF
the biography Of Stevenson is this ex.
tract from an editorial article in the
Century:
"There is hunger of the soul fol

of average length, is apt sooner or later

very well that hunger is a difficult

Of courtesy, of love without reproach.
1t may be that 1 am not very wise

me like one who has lost his way and
made a great error in life. You are

have totally forgotten the great and

Our country has taken the lead in
giving, as in many other things; and
sSms Of such vast proportions have
been bestowed upon the public that
We stand amazed before the magni-
tude of these benefactions. This is
the age Of giving On a scale never be-
bore realized, and at present the abso-
Lutte competency and value Of such
gigantic largess cannot be fully esti-
mated. In many cases the sense Of
public responsibility has grown in pro-
portion to the size and rapidity Of the
accumulation. In the rapid huctda-

Thames Watermep.

Considering the deterioration of the
Thames as a highway, it is surprising
that the professional waterman should
flourish as he does. This is in great
part owing to the prize which Thomas
Doggett, comedian, established to COM
memorate the accession Of the House
Of Brunswick. For 179 years now, on
August 1 every year. six young water
men, just out Of their apprenticeship,
have rowed for the fame-colored coat
and silver badge for which Doggett in
his will provided in perpetuity. The
Fishmongers' Company, of which Dog
gett was a member, provides other
prizes, and the contest still excites
more than a local interest.-London

One Of the effects expected of the
long-distance developments in wireless
telegraphy is not the destruction of
the usefulness of submarine telegraph
cables, but the stimulation of the
spirit Of invention for the discovery
Of new methods of rapid transmission
Of messages over them, which will in
crease their utility and cheaper opera
tion. Electricians predict that means
will be devised for multiplying the
capacity Of cables now in use, just as
the capacity Of single land wires has
been multiplied by the use of duplex

Again receipts gave promise of falling

encouraging. The official estimates
for to-morrow's New Orleans and
Houston receipts capped the climax,
indicating a sharp reduction in the
movement generally. But with all this
array of bullish conditions, the mar
ket showed little desire to work high

respond created a feeling of distrust

made haste to unload as a matter of
precaution. Persistent Wall street

New York, March ia slight gain

done was insignificant. Good cables
helped to steady the market, as did the

ly at Galveston, where receipts dwln-
died to below 1000. The great trouble
appears to be thai new buyers are diff
f1cult to secure at the present time, but
the long interest is extended quite
slowly, while the shorts are apparent

in the hope of some developments in
the financial or commercial world,
