COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, June THE cotton market
opcned steady with prices unchanged to 3
points lower. though one sale OF July was made
at SIT, and August repeatedly sold at SAG.
This showing was in keeping with the Liver

points the June option alone being single
point higher. The crop reports were nearly

Of the Chronicle for climatic conditions in the
belt was beorish and receipts at all points were
small as expected The bears were quick to
discover, however, that commission houses had
very few buying orders and that ring traders, as

REDM EMS BALL
A Pleasant Event at the Opera House
 Last Niqht

Last Night The grand march of the Redmen's ball led by John F. Metcalf and Miss Kate Hanlon opened the prettiest ball given in Bisbee this season. There were over a hundred tickets sold and an excellent crowd turned out. The music was good. the floor of the Bisbee opera house was in splendid condition and the room was cool and well ventilated. The colors of the Redmen's order were arranged in various conspicuous places of the hall and the glitter of electric lights produced a splendid effect every where
 One of the most noticeable features of the occasion was the full dress uni form of the Redmen The old colo nial costumes of knee pants. slippers and long frock coats of white. draped in blue black. having brass buttons and other trimmings is set of to a splendid advantage. The most of the boys have fine form that gives a de- cided military bearing.
 The ladies were all neatly gowned and certainly gave a picture of true enjoyment throughout the evening.
 The company gave a drill before he beginning of the dance which was greatly enjoyed by all present.
 The success of the ball was due to the excellent management of all the officers of the organization of which John F. Metcalf is captain: Harry Jennings is first lieutenant; John Mullen second lieutenant; commis- stoned officers are Sid Brown, first sergeant; D. A. Markey. second ser geant; Burt Warner, third sergeant, and Herman Hemsath, fourth ser geant.
 There are forty-six men in Com pany A of Queen League of Cochise tribe, No. ', l. O. R. M
 The occasion is one to long be re- membered by all present and especi- ally by the order as one of the most successful and pleasant occasions that have taken place during this sea son. It is to be hoped that the boys will give another dance in the near future.

Why, eleven of my children were born under the flag of the army post-the first thirty-nine years ago at Governors Island; and yet this country can't give me my rights. I told Adjutant General Corbin that and he said, 'Madam,yo deserve well of your country but his saying it didn't do me any good"
 Mrs. White is good looking wo- man, considerably past middle age, and apparently of education, and her story is an interesting one
 It seems that twenty-four years ago General Chaffee. then a major, was in command at Camp Mcdowell, a post near the San Carlos reservation in Arizona, long since abandoned.
 Mrs. Whites husband, a quarter master sergeant in the Eighth infan- try, was discharged by Chaffee and ordered of the military reservation. Chaffee accused White of drunken ness and general unfitness. White took his family of seven Mrs White says, and moved of the reservation, taking up some land that was not government property near the camp. This seemingly did not satisfy Chaf- fee, for one day while White was away he burned the house and drove of the cattle that White had purch- ased out of his savings.
 White seeing that Chaffe would not let him live in that neighborhood. got out and again enlisted in the army but under an assumed name. White did not live long after reenter- ing the service. but on his death bed made Mrs. White pledge herself to prefer charges against General Chaf- fee. This she did. but they have never been brought before congress, being 'pigeonholed through some in fiuence.
 Mrs. White again married and now lives with her sons at Verde Her second husband was also an army man and it was he who was stationed 7f :. Bliss. Her visits to Washing ton have been with the object of having her charges and claims brought before congress.
 This she has never been able to do, and now she says that patience has ceased to be virtue and she pro- poses to take the law into her own hands.
