intends to study for the medical profess
sion, and his father has been consult
ing some famous French doctors about
the matter. The young man will prob
ably be given a private laboratory In
the Pasteur Institute, Paris.
-Ras Makennon, the Abyssinian
general, who has been visiting Paris,
surprised the French people by his
imperturbability. The magnificence of
military display at Longchamps did
not move him to enthusiasm, and he
almost yawned at the fireworks dis
play in his honor. He found the wealth
er depressing and, altogether, seemed
to vote the entire place a bore.
The Seventy-first Regiment of New
York militia is laying plans for an in
teresting celebration next May The
regiment was in Cuba during the war
with Spain and it is the intention that
next May some $50 officers and men
will visit the island again, making a
tour of various interesting places. If
possible the voyage will be made in
the steamer Vigilancia, the transport
which previously conveyed the Seven
ty-first to Cuba.
A carefully nursed real estate boom
has developed in the vicinity of Oyster
Bay, Long Island, where the Presi-
dent is living just now. A tract of
thirty-five acres just opposite Saga
more Hill, Mr.. Roosevelt's residence,
sold for $4,000 two years ago. Mrs.
Hetty Green heads a syndicate which
has just given $4,000 for it, and those
interested expect to realize handsome
ly on their investment.
1t has been noticed that no men
ton is made of King Edwards illness
in the Court Circular. This is a relic
from the public, for political reasons,
any reference to the Kings health.
The secrecy that surrounds the court
is a custom handed down from gen.
erations when the sovereign and the
royal family were not so secure in the
affections of the people as they are at
the present time.
Most people imagine that Lord
Wolseley, who completed his 69th year

LAUGHTER VS.. LIQUOR.

There is a list of proverbs probably
as long as ones arm illustrating the
moral and physical benefits of laugh
scorn, we laugh when we win, and we
laugh and grow fat. There is a jolly
lot of things to tickle our risibles, in
this quaint old world, and it is a wise
man who takes the best advantage of
them. Laughter is alleged to promote
digestion. At all events most hale men,
and all fat men, are good laughers.
The hearty ha! hal is pretty certain
to be the sign of good fellow 1t is
true that one may laugh and laugh,
and still be a villain; but the villain
Is the exception that proves the rule
While the beneficial, not to say the
rapeutic, value of the laugh has been
recognized for a very long time, it has
remained for Prof. w. N. Guthrie, of
the University of Chicago, to declare
mirth and laughter to be a specific for
and preventive of the liquor habit. If
men are not given comedy, at which
they may laugh and thus be diverted
from themselves and their worries, he
says, they will turn to a cheaper sub
stitute-alcohoI" Is it possible that
whisky is cheaper than laughter in
Chicago? That may account for the
very large floating population of the
city. 1t has been said that alcohol is
one of the most costly of all habits
If in the windy city by the lake. rum
is cheaper than mirth, they must take
their fun very seriously. Or it may
be that laughter in Chicago is so cost
ly because, in order to raise laugh
there, one has to smash something.
This is the way to fight the alcohol
evil" said the Professor, meaning by
means of laughter. "All work and no
play makes Jack not only dull boy,
but a bad one. l tell you this is a
great means of reform. When gaiety
leaves a community goodness goes"
The temperance lecture, therefore,
should consist mostly of vaudeville, in
stead of statistics and colored plates
of the 'innards" of the drunkard. If
the young man evinces a thirst for
beer he should be taken to the min
strel show. If his tastes run to liter
ature and wine, he should be given
copy of Joe Miller If he is seen maxi
ing for a saloon he should be headed
off with performing monkey or bear.
But if laughter is a preventive and
specific for the drink habit, how, real
ly, does it occur that there is so much
liquor consumed in Chicago? The ag-
gregation of queer professors in Mr..
Rockefeller's Standard Oil college
would seem to be sufficient to keep the
whole town in roar pretty much all
the time.

CUBA's COTTON TRADE.

The Cubans are large consumers of
cotton goods. The climate of the ISL
and makes the wearing of light fab
RIGS through most of the year compul-
sorry, and the durability and cheapness
of cotton cloths make them by long
odds the favorite. During the twelve
months ending on June 50, last, not
withstanding the island mad latr;y
been devastated by war and It's in
dustries were in a comatose condition.
Cuba purchased abroad $6,Gf4Uo0
worth of cotton manufactures. With
her industries in prosperous condition
Cuba would no doubt absorb NOT less
than $1O,OOo,OOO worth of co1tons per
year.
Now, of the S6O64,o0O of cotton goods
bought during the year mentioned
what amount was purchased in the
United States? Considering the prox-
unity of Cuba to this country 1t
would seem to be the natural thing
that pretty nearly all the cotton cloth
used by the Cubans should have been
supplied from the United States. Yet.
as a matter of fact, the total value of
manufactured cottons sold to Cuba
during the fiscal year ending June 80,
last, was only s464 00Ol The balance
S. 600. 600 worth-was purchased N Eu-
rope! That is to say, with this great
market at our very door, we sold in
it less than s per cent. of the cation
goods it needed. We sold Porto Rico,
and Australia, and British India, and
San Domingo, and even far away
Chill, more cotton goods than we sold
Cuba
We are reaching out for markets in
the Orient. When troubles come IN
China and the consumption of cotton
goods is interfered with, our Southern
cotton mills feel the effect and some
Of them have to curtail their produc-
ton. 1t is only recently that we have
seen this illustrated. And when the
troubles occurred in China there was
vigorous protest followed by strenu-
Gus efforts to reopen the doors of the
markets to American cotton manufac-
lures. Yet here is a rich market in
CUBA, the chief city of which is with
in a days sail of the American coast.
which we are practically neglecting.
Reciprocity with Cuba would open the
way for our cotton goods to make
their entrance into that island. Being
the closer to the markets, the South
ern mills would have fair chance of
supplying Cuban wants in the way of.
manufactured cottons. And yet recip-
rocity with the island is blocked in
Congress. The beet sugar interests
have proved strong enough to keep
American manufactured cottons out
of Cuba. BY permitting itself to be
dominated by the beet sugar people,
the Republican party has struck
blow at the cotton interests of the
country.

A Story of MacISnY.

State Senator John P. Moore of Snow
Hill, Worcester county, Maryland, who
was at the Stafford Hotel, Baltimore
last night, spoke of a meeting he once
had with John w. Mackay, says the
Baltimore Sun.
Last September I was in Paris with
Gen. Francis Waters and my son, -
said Senator Moore 1.-THE boy was
taken with typhoid fever, and I cabled
his mother to leave on the steamship
Etruria, which sailed from New York
on Saturday. At the time l sent for
Mrs. Moore my boy was desperately i'll.
On Saturday he had made some slight

If possible to get some word to her
of his improvement.
Il had but the shortest possible mar
gin to work on before the steamer sail
ed. So 1 called for the manager of
the cable company and explained to
him how anxious I was to get the mes
sage through. He shook his head and
said:
"T am afraid it cannot be gotten
through in time
while l was talking I noticed a man
sitting on box in the office He had
a cigar in his hand and seemed to be
waiting for me to end my interview
AS soon as the manager had finished
speaking the man got up and walked
to my side.
." I could not help hearing your con-
versatlon, he said. Write your mes
sage. If that mothers boy is i'll |
will get her the word that he is bet
ter. ! know what will make a moth
er's heart glad.
He turned to the manager and said:
Stop all business. clear the wire
and have that message at that steam
er.'
Before could collect myself he had
left the office. You can we'll imagine
my surprise when the manager said
that was Mr.. John w. Mackay.
Later In the day / received from
Mr.. MackaV a note telling me that
Mrs. Moore had gotten the message
and that the bill was paid many times

Accident Not EafnI.

John Lockwood. an old sailor whose
home is the Almshouse, got a furlough
and a couple of dollars yesterday and
went out to celebrate. says the Phil
adelphia Times. He celebrated in a
grogshcp, and when he got as far as
Thirty-fourth and Spruce streets he
stumbled and fell.
PasserSby were Mortified at the sight
they saw when they looked at him. His
left leg. below the knee, had dropped
off, trouser leg and all, and Lockwood
was making frantic efforts to get up.
One man ran all the way to the po-
lice station at Thirty seventh and
Spruce streets for a patrol wagon to
take the injured sailor to a hospital
Several other men, fearful to pick up
the severed leg, yet wanting to help
Lockwood, stood and offered him con-
ISOLATION. Then the wagon came.
"Shiver me timbers, you bloomin'
lubbers," shouted the old salt to the
patrolmen; cant you see it's nothin
but yardarm? Gimme it and I'll put
it on again"
They gave it to him, he put it on,
the crowd disappeared and the wagon
took Lockwood back to the Almshouse.

TO CONTROL THE COTTON CRoPs

A great deal OF speculation has
of the cotton congresses in New Or
leans, or at least to get control of
them. It was mentioned in our dis
patches day or twp ago that syn
dictate of Eastern capitalists was
seeking the control of the congresses
of that city, but that no definite in
formation of the syndicate's purpose
could be obtained, or would be obtain
able before the middle of the present
week.
There are twenty of these presses in
New Orleans, and all of them are large
ones. 1t will require a very large
amount of money to get absolute con-
troll of them. 1t is understood, how
ever, that all the money necessary to
carry through the transaction will be
forthcoming when needed.
What is the purpose of the syndi-
cate? Is it to make an investment
which is believed will be profitable?
That is one view of the matter. 1t is
probable that most of the presses are
not very profitable now, but by COM
bining them under one management
they might perhaps be made so, pro-
vided the square bale does not speedily
give place to the round bale.
But may not the buying up of the
congresses of the greatest of
the cotton ports be move
ment in the interest of the
round bale? That view is being
discussed. The owners of the round
bale patent have been striving for a
long time to introduce their machines
into every part of the cotton section.
They have not met with as great sue
cess as they hoped to, and it is now
said that the patent has passed into
the hands of stronger and ADLER men,
who intend to spend millions in push
ing the round bale machine into gen.
eral use. In that case the object in
buying the New Orleans presses may
be to close them.
There was a report some time ago
that the round bale machine could
now be bought. Until a recent period,
however, 1t was operated by the COM
pany owning the patent, so much per
bale being charged for baling cotton.
If the machine is being sold to any one
wants to buy 1t there is no danger that
syndicate of capitalists will get con-
troll of the cotton crop and the round
bale will speedily come into general
use. The railroads prefer it and it is
better for handling, and protects the
cotton better. But if the machine cam
not be purchased it will be long while
before it will come into general use. 1t
will be known in a few days perhaps
what the syndicate that is seeking con-
troll of the New Orleans presses is aim
ing to aceomplish-whether it is seek
ing an investment, believing that the
square bale will remain the popular
bale for long time, or whether it is
composed of the owners of the round
bale machine and is trying to bring
the round bale into general USE and by
means of it get control practically of
the cotton erop

Her sincerity Questioned.

Congressman Bingham is telling
about the very handsome and popular
wife of a senator who has been well
to the fore in Washington affairs since
last December, says the Philadelphia
Times. Mrs. Senator was recently ac-
costed at a very fashionable reception
by an over-dressed, affected woman,
the wife of a Western lobbyist, and
asked:
Have we met before? Your face
seems very, very familiar to me-"
Il do not think we've met" replied
Mrs. Senator, graciously. Perhaps,
you've seen my pictures. There have
been many of them in the magazines

DOMESTIC TRAINING

Much is being written and said about
the desirability of manual and tech
biological training for young men. That
there is need for the training of hands
as we'll as heads is coming to be bet
ter recognized every day. The de-
mands of the times are for workers
who are skilled. But is sufficient at
tention being given to the training of
those who In the very nature of things
must assist the men in making their
successes? In short, are the girls OF
the period, who must be the wives
and mothers of the future being given
the kind of education that will best
mt them for the duties and responsible
ties of their more mature years?
1t is the ambition of every healthy
minded young man to place his help
meet beyond the necessity of manual
labor. But not every man can be
rich. Even those who are rich have
no assurance that they will always
remain so. What for convenience may
be called the middle class" will ever
remain the most numerous. In this
class the woman of the household
should do her part towards making
the home comfortable and happy In
deed, this applies to all classes, but
less to the rich than the others, since
the rich can afford to pay for an elab-
crate system of comforts and convent
ences which are beyond the reach of
the middle class" 1t devolves upon
the women of this class, even to a
greater extent than upon the men, to
make the home cheerful attractive
and comfortable And, if the woman
is able to do this, she is all the bet

band up into the class above

responsible for large percentage of
the cases of estrangement between hus-

the wife. Many young women assume
