New York Cotton.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2s.--The cotton market
opened steady with prices to points higher
on a furry of the general buying in which the
room shorts took the lead Europe and the spin
ming interests OF America were conspicuous as
buyers of the winter months. The selling was
chiefly for new orders and local bear leaders
accounts. The leading bull influences which
created the early buying movement were frost
reports from the eastern half OF the belt and
a rise of to points in Liverpool. Wall street
was a moderate buyer of the January option
following the call. As the demands OF the
smaller shorts were appeased the market settled
back point or so and the frost discussion took
the view that the damage resulting from the
cold wave would be small, as the crop was
nearly all gathered in that section and the top
crop prospects had been poor at best before the
cold snap. Liverpool reluctant to act and
New Orleans held relatively steadier than the
New York market. The official estimates for to-
rnorrow's Houston receipts were 5000 bales,
more than the same day last year, and this
gave the bears something to work on. How
ever, the commission houses came into pos
session OF orders the news spread over the
country that the heavy frosts had stopped the
rnaturenent Of late cotton over north Georgia,
north Alabama, north Mississippi and North
and South Carolina. Speculation was fairly &C
tive all the forenoon.
At noon the market was barely steady with
prices 2 to points higher.

NEW YORK. Oct. unsatisfactory cables, to-
gether with reports of very low temperature
with killing frost at one point in the mountain
district OF Georgia encouraged the bull ele-
ment when the market opened this morning.
Numerous points reported a temperature in the
thlrties and forties and shorts were nervous
and hastened TO cover. Ellison. Of Liverpool, es-
timated the crop at 11s2OO 900 bales, consumption
OF American at 10.S0O.O00. Shortly after the
opening prices were strengthened by additional
reports Of killing frost with temperature as low
rs 80 in Mississippi. Bears attempted to hammer
the market. and despite the low temperature.
OF which there doubt, since the reports
were official. there was no great eagerness TO
buy. Liverpool appeared as moderate seller
In this market and Ellisons figures were ac-
cepted as more bulllsh than bearish. While
the more conservative element were disposed to
await the effect Of frost before adopting decided
views as to damage, etc. On the whole, the
first days killing frost may be said to have
caused much less commotion than anticipated;
In fact the market dragged along without much
spirit and changes were slight. Port receipts
81 COO against So. 900 last year Cables were
steady at unchanged prices, except October
higher.

Dangers of Infection.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:


All the precautions taken In recent years
by the health authorities to inhibit the
spread of infectious diseases seem to have
covered the ground pretty thoroughly. Con-
sumptives have been restrained from ex-
pectorating Unfortunately In public places
and compelled to expectorate in covered
vessels containing a suitable disinfectant.
This measure. combined with the wide
spread dissemination of literature describ-
ing the danger In the inhalation of tuber-
cular sputum, which has dried up into dust,
has considerably lessened the mortality
produced by the white plague" There are
stin frightful number of deaths resulting
from consumption. and, 1t seems to me,
that there is yet considerable scope for the
introduction of hygienic measures tending
to decrease its death-dealing powers.
In the use Of the telephone lies a danger
the gravity of which Is appreciated by few.
At pay station in large city all kinds
and classes of humanity speak into the

CONCLUSION REACHED.
Decision in Case of Two Accused Men
Brought Here From London.

James Harkes and John Morgan, the
Englishmen who were arrested in Lon
don and brought here to answer
charge of larceny from the person, were be-
fore the Criminal Court yesterday afternoon
to answer the charge. Harkes entered
plea of guilty and was sentenced to the
Moundsville penitentiary to serve two years.
In the case of Morgan a nolle pros. was en-
tered and he was set at liberty.
Harkes and Morgan. it is stated, are the
first persons to be arrested in a foreign
country and brought to this city to answer
a criminal charge. They were here about
the time of President McKinieys second
Inauguration and were arrested, charged
with having picked the pocket Of Mrs.
Catherine Lee Of Atlantic City. Mrs. Lees
pccketbook, containing less than SIS, was
taken from her and the stolen property was
found on Harkes. The men were released
on bond for their appearance. Instead of
appearing they went across the pond as
Morgan expressed 1t.
Descriptive circulars were sent broadcast
asking for the arrest of the men. The fu-
gitives did not believe the authorities here
would send to London for them, but .one
day as Morgan was leaving a saloon in
London a Scotland Yard detective showed
him the circular and inquired:
rs this your picture?"
Il felt as if the earth had opened and
swallowed me-" Morgan afterward stated
while discussing the case.
Harkes was arrested a few days later and
Detectives Weldon and Hewlett were sent
to London to bring them here. They We're
returned at considerable expense. Recent
ly an attache of the British legation asked
to be informed why the case had not been
tried
Attorney Sillers. their counsel. arranged
with the prosecuting officers for Harkes to
enter a plea of guilty and take two years
and also for the release of Morgan.
Justice Barnard. before whom Harkes was
arraigned, told the prisoner that he would
give him only two years in consideration
Of his plea and the time he had served in
jail The justice said he hoped the prisoner
would be better man in the future.
Morgan called a police headquarters yes
terday afternoon and discussed his case
with the detectives. He was grateful for
the kind treatment of his partner and him
self on their way here from London. They
were not handcuffed, but were permitted
the freedom of the steamship. Such treat
ment, he said. would not have been accorded
them had they been in the hands of En-
giish detectives. Morgan expressed regret
that he was released too late to be on the
crowded streets of London during the coro-
nation. He left here this afternoon for
New York, where he expects friends will
furnish him transportation to England.

are various. Some speak into the trans
mitter from distance, while others, either
from a lack of familiarity, or through a
the transmitter the better he can be heard.
press their lips to the receiver while speak
ing into it.
Many consumptive persons, while thus
speaking into the transmitter, are seized by
an attack of coughing while giving or TAX
ing message at the phone, and, no mat
ter how careful they may be, cxpectorate
small particles of tubercular sputum into
the tranSmitter.
The practice of inc1osing the telephone
in booth, for the sake of privacy, renders
the little room a splendid focii for infec-
tion as the sputum, drying up in the cup
like transmitter, floats around the booth,
ready to be inhaled by some unfortunate
who may have occasion to use the phone at
some other time.
Out of every thousand inhabitants there
are certain percentage afflicted with tu-
berculosis. The knowledge that tubercu-
losis of the lungs is an infectious disease
has long ago been demonstrated beyond
question.
Why cannot this menace to our health be
controlled and rendered harmless?
A small, Cup-like receptacle, containing
disinfectant solution and clean sponge,
could be attached to the telephone The
disinfectant used. bichloride Of mercury
would destroy tubercular and all other
germs If made up in IL 900 strength. The
user Of the phone could wipe out the trans
mitter with the sponge, containing small
amount of the solution, both before and af-
ter using it. 1t would take but the twink
ling of an eye to do this and a great dam
ger could thus be ameliorated at an mSg-
nifcant cost to the telephone companies.

The Grocers and Sunday Closing.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The Commissioners Of the District of
Columbia, by majority, having reported
against Sunday closing. which report in
cludes grocers, virtually claiming such
opening on their part to be necessity,
the grocer proposes to prove there Is no JUS
tice in such claim.
The fact that fresh meats are sold in such
stores and that many persons of limited
means are not able to provide refrigerators
and ice to protect the same for Sunday
consumption, is to say the least very
poor argument. 1t Is known to all that
fresh meats are more expensive than smok-
ed or Salted meats and it would be con-
ducive TO the pecuniary condition of such
people if for no other reason, that they
live within their means, one day of the
week. at least: 1t might eventuate in their
being able in the near future to provide
such means of keeping fresh (save the
word Chicago meats for Sunday dinner.
The writer has had forty-five years ex-
perience in killing and selling fresh meats
and makes the assertion that any fresh
meat will keep sweet from Saturday until
Sunday without Ice and disintegration will
be more complete, thereby rendering it
tenderer. Cold retards the disintegration
Spacious arguments can be advanced in
almost any case, but stubborn facts end
them. The undersigned has not sold a
pound of meat for more than three years
and yet he cannot close Sunday. The
why and wherefore is stubborn fact. Meat
has nothing to do with 1t, neither has re-
frigerator or ice. The bare truth is near
by tricky competition" Stress is put upon
the fact that the influential daily news
papers have not urged the passage of such
q law; well, take it as a whole. 1t is per-
tinent to ask! Is there an individual in
the District Of Columbia who approves 1t
in toto? II you find one p T. Barnum will
return. 1t is also pertinent to ask that the
daily newspapers of. the District of Column
bia give expressions to their views In re-
spect to the claim Of the grocers, 15OO In
number. that law should be passed pro-
hibting them from selling. exchanging or
delivering on Sunday. Was the power of
the state invoked to compel the unwilling
seventh-day BARRIERS to close on Sunday?
They are not allowed to keep open until a. m.
II viewed in the light of labor, compare
them welding a razor with the grocers
grinding coffee, saving bones, loading
wagons, etc. Whether the barber law was
passed in the interest of the majority or
otherwise 1t matters not in the execution
of It; there are no loopholes and that is
the desire of the grocers. Let 1t be close
or open, one way or the other.
least four-afths of the grocers want
this law passed. What have the influential
daily press to say about It? Convince the
grocers of one valid reason for opening and
they will forever after hold their peace
