EXCITEMENT IN COTTON.
Market Becomes Most Active of Recent
Times

NEW YORK, November 5.-After opening
very steady at a decline of five points to
an advance of seven points the cotton mar
ket this morning developed into one of the
most sensationally exciting and active ones
of recent times.
Prices were forced up at a record rate
and trading continued very active at the
advance. December. which had sold up to
025 last Monday, and had opened at 1860,
was soon forced up to 10.92. January had
advanced to 1852. March to 1880 and May
to 1921.
This represented gains since the close of
last night of twenty-five to thirty points,
The gains were largely due to very bull
ish crop estimate issued by a conservative
local house placing the production at TO-
600 bales, in connection with further
aggressive bull support. a less favorable
buying by spinners.
At noon the market was steady. though
well down from top under heavy realizing.
Prices were net IA to IS points higher.
Spot cotton. firmer; middling upland,
1890; middling gulf, 11.15. Estimated re-
cepts of cotton at the ports: Today. $1,000
bales, against 81 ,413 last week and J0,563
last year. For the week, $4,000 bales,
against 40l ,912 last week and 331 .146 last
year. Today's receipts at New Orleans were

Excitement at New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, November 5.-The mar
ket for cotton futures opened wild and ex-
cited. Within a few minutes the market
advanced with a general buying craze from
all quarters until prices were from twenty
five to twenty-six points higher than the
close of yesterday. Bullish sentiment and
the belief in short crop and ultimately
15c. cotton were the causes of the advance.

His Early Training.
From the New York Times.

When Frank H. Clergue, promoter of
the Lake Superior Consolidated Company.
was little boy in Maine. playing about
the lumber wharves in Bangor, he gave
promise of his ability at fnanciering,
his old neighbors says, and that without
investing any of his own capital. A cir
Gus was coming to town. and the embryo
promoter was hard put for the price of a
ticket. Then he had an inspiration.
All the water which came to the circus
grounds was brought through wooden
tunnel from far up the hill. It's source
was an old spring, seldom visited and
hard of access. Frank waited until the
morning parade was over and the circus
help were hungry for their midday meal.
Then he mounted the hillside and insert
ed a wooden plug in the tunnel By the
time he had reached the grounds he
found everything ripe for strike. The
water had ceased to run.
Say. mister. gimme a ticket an I'll
fix 1t for you," he offered.
Fix 1t, and you can have half q
Dozen" cried the manager.
Inside of ten minutes the plug was re-
moved. and the horses were drinking
their fill. And the boy Frank took Ave
bosom friends to the show.

How to Go Nutting.

FROM Outlng.
Not few are the devices Of skilled nut
ting. How often shall we see the novice
crushing the green burr with a stone-and
the chestnut by the same blow-or with
many pains from the sharp spines trying
to open the burr by hand. The nutter who
Is better versed has the trick not mastered
until some practice, of a peculiar quick
tap of the heel-something between a blow
and a cut-which at one deft side stroke
lays open the nuts for the hand The old
device of Earring by a heavy stone the tree
bole-especially the slim secondary trees of
the deeper woods-may be trite, but not its
refinement of taking a somewhat smaller
stone and by series Of quick taps on the
trunk Swapping the upper branches. Less
known and more effective is another plan.
Its elements are good arm, a ball of
strong cord, and. attached, a half-pound
stone, more or less, according to the weight
of the string. The theory involves the cast
ing of a weight over a bough of the nut
tree and shaking it briskly when looped
by the cord; the practice is that many a
youngster who deems himself a crack
thrower on the ball field will and some les

upper bough as to loop the Dough below,
and, with acquired dexterity, strip half
dozen branches after single cast.

Education and Athletics.
he Editor Of The Evening Star:

10 tne Eultor Oh Iue Evening Star.
From the statements in the papers, in
Guiding several in the local press recently,
one would be led to suppose that the result,
If not the object, of our colleges is to teach
or cultivate rowdyism No one can reason
ably object to manly sports and athletic
exercises II conducted with reason, but
there certainly is neither sense nor reason
in the brutal contests between the freshmen
and other classes of which we hear so
frequently. 1t certainly is very strange
idea of manliness that induces the cane
ruShes and similar contests, in which
clothes are torn, heads, legs and arms are
broken and property destroyed, as was the
case at the MontrOse cafe here only recent
ly. Young men old enough to go to college
certainly ought to know how to behave like
gentlemen instead of rowdies. and if they
will not, then they should be expelled at
once.
The colleges themselves are largely to
blame, for since they have made athletic
main objects they not only permit the stu
dents to leave their studies to go roaming
about the country to practice these games.
but they even employ others to teach them.
I was told this summer that the base or
foot ball team of the University of Penn
sylvania made $4,000 by it's trips. A gen.
tlemen who had sent five of his sons to
Cornell told me that he could see plainly
now how those of them who had devoted
so much of their time to base ball were far
more deficient than the others In their ac-
quirements At the same time he showed
me letter written to one of his sons by
one of the professors then in Europe, which
letter was devoted entirely to discussion
and encouragement of base ball, and not a
word or suggestion did it contain as to his
studies or future profession or outlook in
life.
Surely 1t would seem that there is urgent
need for improvement in our colleges in
these respects, and this need is greatly en-
nlaSiZed by the r6c6ntIy published state
ment of a professor in one of the principal
colleges showing that but very few of the
college athletes ever achieve success. There
was a heap of truth in the statement I
heard an old lawyer, himself college
graduate make to a young friend who was
bemoaning the fact that he did not have a
college education. Said the lawyer: IF a
man has good. sound sense a college edu-
cation will be a great help to him, but if
he hasn't 1t Is pretty sure to make a fool of
him. And, judging from the way they
act, 1t would seem that large portion Of
the students belong to this latter class.

CHICKAMAUGA PARK.
Report on the Preservation Of Noted
Battlefield.

The Chickamauga and Chattanooga Ma
tional Military Park commission, through
it's chairman, Gen. H. V. Boynton, has
submitted it's annual report to the Secre-
tary of War.
Under the authority of the annual APP
preparation to purchase land within the
legal limits of the park tract of 793
acres has been acquired at cost of S32,-
574, the average price per acre being
S41OS AS land is now being held In the
vicinity of the park, this was deemed
reasonable.
The commission says that the tract
Immediately became of great practical
value to the government, as large por-
ton of this tract was chosen for perma-
nent use as cavalry post. The arrange
ment Of the post is such as not to inter
fere with the historical marking OF the
added tract.
1t is also a matter of satisfaction to the
commission. that for another year the
practical use Of the park by the govern
ment has continued by maintaining the
field camp Of the 7th Cavalry within its
limits. In view of the wild reports of the
unhealthfulness of the park which gained
currency during the war with Spain. the
commission says 1t is proper to report
that the health of the soldiers camped
there and of the park force and it's Ia
borers has continued exceptionally good.
The water throughout the. park has
proved excellent, and an abundant sup
ply has been secured for the encamp-
ments and the new post from flowing
wells.
The use of the park for permanent
camps has entafled some additional road
work for their better accommodation.
The states of New York, Maryland, Ohio
and Iowa are preparing to erect state

have been made by the states named.
