Higginson on the Results
(By the Associated Press.)

tBy the Associated PreSS.)
Block Island, r. l., Sept! 6.-The mimic
war being order, the North Atlantic
squadron which mobolize1 here today
after the manoeuvers of the week, sepa-
rated to go to various stations. The
flagship Kearsarge and battleships
Massachusetts and Alabama proceeded
to New London to pass in review before
the forts.
Before the Kearsarge left today Rear
Admiral Francis J. Higginson made the
following statement to a representative
of The Associated Press:
Il regard the manoeuvers Of the week
as being most beneficial to TIE navy.
We have been taught to know what to
do under conditions of war. and our ex-
pcrience has been of almost incaIculable
value In my opinion these manoeuvres
should be held every summer. The
presence of the naval militia added much
TO the interest of the occasion and the
services of these men have been very
satisfactory"
The admiral refused to give an opin-
ion whether the army or the navy had
won in the war game, but he manifested
great satisfaction with the manner in
which the schips in his command had
been conducted.

WORK OF ICE MISSION.
Noble Work Done by Noble Band of Young
aides.

One of the noblest charities instituted
in this city of recent years is what is
known as the Ice Mission Band The
young ladies who compose this organiza-
ton have done great work during the
past summer. Ice has been distributed
TO about 260 families. and in all 1850
pounds have been given away, during the
month of August through the pastors and
physicians of the city.
The band has been untiring in its
efforts to secure funds for this object,
and it is gratifying to know that their
efforts have been richly rewarded.
They have now in the treasury some
thing like $40 in cash which will be
used in distributing ice to those INDECENT
persons who will need it during the
winter.
There is no way of telling in figures
and statistics how much good this So
ciety has done. Numbers of poor people
unable to purchase ice when prescribed
by physicians for sickness have been
furnished it free of charge by the Band. -
Miss Elsie Phelps is president; Miss Ger
trude Lands, vice-president; Miss Emily
Higgs, secretary, and Miss Nornie Rog-
ers, treasurer.

H. 6 B. BEERS MARKET LETTER.

Especial to News and Observer
New Orleans, La, Sept. 6.-LiverI DOL
advices were more unfavcrabIe than ex-
pected, consequently our market opened
. to points lower, subsequently reacted
to points on fresh buying, out the
additional good rains in Texas today. the
heavy receipts and restricted spot de-
mand caused realizing. which was ac-
clerated by stop orders being reached
occasioning a break Of 10 10 Is points
from the top. Shorts covering ana :n-
vestment buying about this time super
induced a rally of TO points from the
bottom, making the net loss to 10
points on the day. Since the bureau was
issued values have declined nearly half
a cent, owing to the heavy liquidation
of long cotton. Prices are really 10
points lower than they were Immediately
previous to the issuance of the report.
and the trade then generally anticipated
a condition of 20 per cent Therefore as
the government made the conditions to
6 points less than looked for. and these
figures point to a crop, according to that
authority, of only $3.50 900, providing he
same ratio of condition prevails during
September Then the question arises.
Is not cotton worth more now OH the UNI
favorable outlook than it was before the
bureau was issued? 1t is argued that
the good rains in Texas and the balance
of the States since the returns to the
bureau were compiled, have been of vast
benefit. Admitting that this is SO, it
must not be forgotten that the condition
previous to the rains was 81 per cent
against ia last year, or 10 per cent.
under last year. For the sake of argu-
ment we will say that these rains Will
place the condition the same as it was
last year on October l. The outtuTn,
dictate crop of about 10000 900. the same
divate crop of about 10000, 600, the samt
as last year, providing the bureau coz
dition figures on October Sd will be the
same as last year. Even if these con-
tentions are admitted from the data fur
nished the government, the final outturn
of the crop looks as if it will pe way
under consumptive requirements OF
American this year, which it is estimated
will average II 900, 900 to II, 500, 900. Re
viewing the situations above we think
purchases on decided breaks will even
tually prove profitable.

JUDGED against Andrews before he was
selected to serve as a Juror. A motion
for new trial for Andrews will be
heard Monday and McCarron's presence
is desired.
Yesterday the latter was arrested at
Detroit on charge of deserving from
the United States navy, it is said, and
Detective Brooks left for Norfolk, Va,
with McCarron. The Andrews people
claimed that the proceeding is simply
to get McCarron out of the way and
habeas corpus proceedings were begun
here. Brooks was at the depot when the
deputy sheriff arrived, but eluded him and
boarded a train with McCarron for Nor
folk. The latter seemed perfectly will
ing to go.

rational prosperity menaced."

Made With Salt Water.

1t has been accepted as fact that
salt water is death to the rice plant,
but w. F. Perkins, who owns a large
rice farm on Black bayou, which has
sea water, says that if it is the fact, it
is not fixed fact. He says that when
he found he could get nothing but salt
water for his rice, he began to pump
it on his fields, but did not allow it to
stand on any field but few hours at
a time, drawing it from one field to
another. Mr.. Perkins states that his
rice has headed out with full, finty
grain, and his crop will be made from
salt water.-American.

nishing better flow and it is conf

men that the shortage in this section
will be considerably less than was at
first anticipated. Many fields are be-
ginning to head and those it is claim
ed will be ready for harvesting by the

One of the pumps on the Jennings
Haywood oil syndicate we'll was used
to force water and the other to force
chemicals. Each pump had one hun
dred pounds pressure. A man was sta
toned at each pump to keep the pres
sure up. The four inch pipe to carry
the chemicals was run in from the
north and had two two-inch connect
ions, with fifty feet of hose attached to
each connection.
When the big crowd that had as
sembled to witness the experiment saw
tn at the flames were checked it went
wild with enthusiasm. The work OF
eXtinguishing the flames was accom-
pllShed in an instant after everything
was in readiness. After the fire was
out stream of cold water was turned
on the pipe to cool it and thus pre-
clude the possibility of re-ignition
The gate valve was then removed
and the well allowed to gush for few
minutes. The flow of Oil appeared to
be stronger than ever and spouted to a
height variouSlY estimated at from $50
to 300 feet.
The well burned just six days during
which time many persons from all
over the south viewed the spectacle.
The expense of putting out the fire
has been very heavy but the amount
of free advertising occasioned thereby
will more than meet the expense thus
incurred. A new valve has been put
in and the Jennings syndi-
cate rs again marketing oil from the
Jennings No. 2.

FER tnat Uno lowest felOn IN his district
4 may have no cause to claim discrimi-
nation. One hundred dollars is an
awful wad to drop-in Louisiana and
the natives over there would rather
have thier souls torn out by the roots
with hot tongs rather than lose that
much This appeal to the pocketbook
has made the tough element in that
locality hard to catch. While the med
icine is almost too severe yet it must
be admitted that it is remarkably
effective it having the rough element in
Judge Miller's parish as wild as bun
cheS of quail that have been shot into
a few times.
The infexible Judge Miller on the
| bench, and the good fellow Edmond
Miller off the bench are two different
people. The one is grim and cuts out
justice with a blade that knows no
weakening-the other is a hail fellow
well met, who smoks a good cigar
He has cut his way to the bench as one
would cut a trail through the Jungle.
Between the range of that barefooted
French boy who fought mosquitoes on
the Mermentau twenty-five years ago
and Louisiana ermine there is sullen
gulf that must be bridged by the man
who passes over it. Unaided and
alone this man toiled slowly upward
in the night while others slept built
his own bridge. He is the man who
has raised the rate on the gun tOter
and has put up the price until packing
a pistol in his district is counting in
