Tobacco Company on this market for
the past season, has beer ordered to
Darlington. S. c. He will be succeeded
here by Mr.. Robert Hairston, of OAR

so bright as now. All the warehouses
will be in operation this fall with in
creased clerical force and with a strong
corps of buyers on the scene.

ly overhauled and worked and looked
like a new machine.

Speaks-Adresses by DIR. SadIer,
of England, and by Archbishp
John Ireland, of St. Paul.

Minneapolis, Mimi. July eOver 20 900
tional educational association onven
ton. Each of the fifteen meetings to-
day was we'll attended. Nearly every
department of the association has held
education. DR.. Alexander Graham
Bell, the inventor of the telephone and
president of the department, made an
address explaining the wonderful work
which the educators of detectives
throughout h country was doing. DIR.
Bell said:
"One Of the greatest defects of the
present methods OF the education of de-
fectlves is sending them to special
schools and taking them away ron
home. This, in a large measure, can
be one away with by the establish
ment Of day schools for special in
struction, as a part of I'll regular pub
lie school system Children partially
defective are at the present time drift
ing along without adequate instruc-
ton and the condition as it now exists
should be remedied at once
At the evening session of the entire
convention which was held in the eX-
position building there were about TO-
600 people. Hon. Michael Ernest Sad
Ter, IL D., of London, Eng, spoke of
educational work in England and
showed the close relationships between
and effectiveness of the work and the
workers in the two countries.
Archbishop John Ireland, Of st. Paul,
spoke on THE Influence and Respon-
sibility of the Teacher"

MONKEY DIMES IN SOCIETY.
Honorcd Guest of Henry Lehr in
Newport-Mrs. Fish His
Sponsor.

Newport, July "a few days ago the
steam yacht Taurus made d trip TO
New York to meet Mrs. Fish. and she
was brought to this city IS the guest
Of Joseph Letter, owner of the yacht.
Mr.. Letter has among his pets aboard
n yacht a very playful and we'll train
ed monkey. When dinner was served
the monkey vas given a seat at the
table and waited upon as were the rest
of the guests. Mrs. Fish was greatly
amused at the monkeys deCorum, and
upon her arrival in Newport told Har-
~ s. Lehr of the animal.
Mr.. Lehr at once conceived the idea
Of giving a dinner in the monkeys hon.
or, and so informed Mr.. Letter. Mr..
Lehr at once sent out invitations to
twenty guests to meet at Arleigh a dis
tinguished visitor from Siam. When
the guests were seated at the table, ex-
pecting TO be presented to no less a
parsonage tina a prince, Mr.. Lehr led
in the simian rugged out in evening
clothes.
"Jocko" conducted himself as a we'll
behaved monkey should do until some
one conceived the idea of drinking
toasts to the guest of the evening.
Jocko seemed no stranger at this part
of n programme, Quaffing his bump
ers with gusto, not missing a single
round.
AS the evening wore On he became
tipsy and hilarious. Leaping from his
place. he ran with joyous screeches up
and down the board, knocking over
everything in his way. Then he began
pelting the guests with wine glasses,
driving the ladies away in fright. He
was finally taken in chare by Mr. Lei
ter, who placed him in an easy chair,
where he soon fell asleep from the eff
fects of his Observation-Disclosures Press.

COTTON

New York, July 9.-The cotton mar
ket opened barely steady with prices
two points lower to one point higher,
these prices being about bottom for the
day. The bear clement were quick to
put out additional short lines on the
start following weakness in the Liver
pool market and reports of more or
less general rainS in the belt last night.
Again, the forecast pointed to showers
and thunder storms generally in the
south which led to belief that the
drouth was effectually broken in all
districts.
Nevertheless, as the session progress
ed, private kilograms came to the front
and told of critical conditions in parts
of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana,
through continued absence of soaking
rains. The Liverpool market rallied
quite sharply before the close and New
Orleans gave symptoms of underlying
strength. The summer months shorts
turned for cover as a matter of precau-
ton and shorts in the distant positions
became rather uneasy. From S.2S Au-
gust advanced steadily to $50, while
the rise from lowest on September was
a matter of 10 points. Yet speculation
was dull all day with the market fin
ally quiet and steady with prices net
? to 6 points higher. Receipts were
light n the regulations phases of the
situation were without notable change.
Total sales were estimated at about
sc, 300 bales.
The New orleans Marker
New Orleans, July 9.-Spot cotton quiz
ct; quotations unchanged.
In futures the opening of today was
2 points higher for January deliveries
and 1 to 3 points lower for the nearer
positions but after the first call the
market became gradually stronger un-
der the influence of an active Liverpool
and an upward tendency of prices at
New York n the several months were
bid up in a desultory manner. The
market at the close showed net gains
of 6 to z points on all positions except
July which was l point higher at S.97.

HAVANA II
viii Not Make Offer on Loan De-
sired by Government.

HAVANA, July 9.-Regarding the re-
Ifusal of the bankers of Havana to make
an offer on the loan of 81, 100000 desired
by the government to assist the sugar
cane cultivators of the islands. the
Diario De La Marina says today that
the meaning of the second clause of the
Platt law is vague and that such mean
ing was undoubtedly clouded by the
United States with intention. The ap-
parent meaning of the clause, says the
paper, is that Cuba can only devote
her surplus evenue to the payment Of
interest and principal of loans. The
Diario says the economic future Of the
island is very uncertain. The action of
the bankers in refusing this Dan is
credited in some quarters to spite.

THE COAL STRIKE.
Claimed to be Virtually Ended-Oth-
err Unions May Take Hold.

Roanoke, Va, July 9.-Those interest
ed in the coal fields claim that the
strike is virtually a thing of the past.
Five hundred and forty cars were load
ed yesterday. Several car loa of min
|ers from Virginia and North Carolina
went to work. The labor leaders assert
on the other hand that the critical stage
has not arrived yet. 1t has been stated
that if the demands of the strikers are
not acceded to by the 18th instant that
other labor unions will very likely take
hold of the matter.
