THE COTTON CORNER.

ONE OF the best things that has hap
" pened to the south in many years
is the corner in cotton that has been
successfully run by some New York
and New Orleans operators. The cor
ner covers a period Of several months,
during which time the price of cot
ton, with occasional slight relapses. has
gone almost steadily upward. So high
is the price now that we are told in
dispatches from the east that the man
ufacturers are being compelled to close
their mills.
They find it more profitable to sell
the stocks of cotton they have to the
/ spectators than to weave it into
| cloth. The price of cotton cloth is
practically permanent, varying only
with the different grades. 1t cannot
| be manipulated as the cotton market
has been manipulated. The closing of
| the mills becomes, therefore, inevitable
unless the corner should be broken. So
1 the good fortune of the south viii not
be shared by the mill operatives OF the
north. Indeed, it is not unlikely that
| thousands Of operatives in southern
mills viii be thrown out of employ
/ ment.
/ The present value of cotton, L is
| needless TO say, is a fictitious value. the
result of skiilful manipulation by
/ wealthy gamblers in the product
! Southern planters have benefited by it
to a considerable extent because they
have been enabled to unload their pro-
duct on the Spectators at a handsome
profit. Whether the spectators them
selves viii be able to close out their
/ long lines at a profit or not remains to
be seen. The history of all corners in
staple products points inevitably to
/ failure for this corner.
On paper the gains of the gamblers
run well up into millions. But paper
| profits are not negotiable. In the END

ings and when they begin to sell tho

the southern cotton crop this year
/ viii be a big one. When it has beer

spectators it is practically certain
that they will not be able to withstand
the strain.

of their own cotton. Storage charges

POSSIBLE LoCKJAw CURE.

A T LAST some progress is apparently
II being made toward the discovery
Of a cure for lockjaw. A wonderful
case is reported from Chicago. A boy
fell from his bicycle and sustained in
juries that caused the development of
a typical case Of locxjaw. After a con-
sultation Of physicians had decided
that he could not recover it was sug-
gested that DR.. S. A. Mathews, a pupil
Of Professor Jacques Loeb, who has
been conducting some original re-
searches in the line Of tetanus, be
called in.
When DR.. Mathews reached the pa
tent the Characteristic spasms had
set in. The lads jaws were firmly
locked and It seemed inevitable that his
agony must soon be ended by death.
Indeed, DR.. Mathews himself held out
no hope to the parents for he believed
that he had been called too late. New
ertheless, he made an intravenous in
lection Of a combination of salts. No
immediate Improvement was notice
able.
When Dr. Mathews called the next
ministered two more injections. Still
there was little or no immediate i'm
provement and Dr. Mathews went
away feeling sure the end could not be
far of. During the night, however, the
boys condition took a turn for the bet
ter and by morning his pulse had
dropped from IA to 1O4, while his teta-
nus paroxysms relaxed considerably.
Another injection was given that day
and none has since been necessary. The
patient is now said to bit practically
well.
The new cure-if it can be described
as cure-is a diuretic. The problem
worked out by DR.. Mathews was the
securing OF a combination OF salts cal
culated TO bring about the desired re-
suit He has made experiments on
animals with 1t, put the case of the
boy was the first opportunity he had
had to make a practical demonstration
OF the value OF his discovery. 1t is
claimed that the solution can be used
successfully in the treatment of snake
bites. blood poisoning and other dis
eases OF that character.
1t is not necessary to discuss at this
time the deadly character of lockjaw.
Physicians generally regard it as one
OF the most fatal diseases known in
their science In Chicago alone since
July d twenty persons nave died from
lockjaw' and the total death list of the
United States during the same period
Will reach not far from 200. If a cure
has really been found DR.. Mathews viii
be entitled to place with the fore
most medical scientists of this and
other generations.

since it was placed in the hands of
Capt. Gillette.
In 1900, after the work had been at a
standstill for three years, il was placed
in charge of Capt, Gillette, and the re-
markable results obtained since that
time are in the highest degree credita-
BILE to the energy and engineering abil-
ity of this officer. Under the old
fraudulent contracts. as noted above,
S. so per ton was paid for light Florida
limestone. The contractors under Capt.
Gillette. the firm of Christie, Low &
Heyworth, have placed in the jetties
30S, 300 tons of granite. which is brought
a distance of several hundred miles
and yet its Contract price in the work
is only S1.90 to $2.15 per ton, according
to the size used. Thus the work is be-
ing conducted with such economy that,
notwithstanding the half-million dollars
and more stolen out of the early appro-
priations by the Carter conspirators,
Capt. Gillette bids fair to finish the en-
tire work of improvement at Cumber-
land Sound with total outlay by the
government, including its losses by the
Carter frauds. less than the amount
originally estimated as the cost of the
work by board of engineers.

FOrty-seven Tons of Dresses and

Our party had brought between us
forty-seven tons of dresses and uni

was no time to look at Bombay while
boxes so valuable had to be collected

bound for Delhi. AS it was, we left
the station nearly two hours late. For
two days and night we rushed in
the heat and dust and cold past cities
With curious names, and scenes from
old picture books, and groups of lean
Hindoos, decently naked. We saw vult-
ures waiting for the dead, and peli-
cans, wild green parrots and monkeys:

goats; sweetmeat, flower and fruit sell.

possibly, by good luck, to the camp at
Delhi. The tracts of country between
the halting-places suggested only the
desert and despair; sandy roads and
fiat interminable plains which, in spite
of their desolation, seemed invisibly
inhabited. perhaps by unhappy ghosts,
perhaps by some of the despised baser
sort of native with meek furnishing
eyes and brittle limbs. There is a
force in these plains as cruel and as
forbidding, as deep and as hungry as
the sea; there is, one feels, world
of worlds engulfed in the barren soil;
it has fearful vitality-the ruined city
of Fatehpur-Sikri is dead, imperial
ancient Rome is dead, Versailles is
dead, but the plains breathe as the
ocean breathes; they hold terror
which strikes, captivates, appals the
lima gination.

JUSTICES QUEER EXPERIENCE.
Lay in state of Coma for Several
Hours and Thought He Was Dead.

.eAN w AS
From the Baltimore Sun.
L have risen from the dead" These
were the words with which Justice
William H. Rever of Highlandtown
greeted a reporter for The Sun Tues
day afternoon, and his story of his ex-
periences in the past few days almost
seems to bear out the statement
Mr.. Rever turned to his Office Tues
day for the first time since he left it
last Friday night. On Saturday morn
ing he was sitting at his breakfast
table. when he suddenly fell over in a
faint. He was carried to his room and
put to bed and remained alarmingly i'll
all that day and the succeeding night,
On Sunday morning, Mr. Rever says,
he fell into a state of coma, which
continued for twelve hours and held
him prisoner to silence and iminobil-
ity during the whole of that time. His
wife and children thought him to be
dying and he heard them crying about
the room in which he lay, but could
not move d finger or speak u word. AS
this condition continued hour after
hour he says that he became convinced
that he was really dead and began to
wonder that the change had come so
painlessly and easily. He felt that
while he knew he was dead his spirit
had not yet entirely taken leave OF his
body, and he had an overpowering de-
sire to revive himself sufficiently to
tell his dear ones, who were weeping
about his bed, how easy it was to die
and how little he needed their tears.
When he found himself unable to do
this he thought how sad it was that
he should be denied the opportunity of
telling them how easy it was. He had
no misery nor pain, no fear of being
covered up; only a great sadness at
being unable to return and tell them
how restful and well he felt and how
pleasant death really was.
AS the time wore on, Mr.. Rever says,
he thought he heard the doctor pro-
nounce him dead and then that the
undertaken came and was preparing
him for burial Still there was no fear
in his mind of these preparations. He
only thought of the grief of his fam
lily, the vagueness of not knowing just
where he was, and a curiosity as TO
what would be next and where he was
drifting.
Then he must have fallen asleep. for
he knew no more until he awoke sun
day night, twelve hours after the Pc
culiar trance-like state had fallen over
him. Upon awaking he had a great
desire for some apple toddy, as he felt
strangely weak and "washed-out." His
wife prepared the drink, and. after TAX
ing it, he felt better He slept well
that night, and after staying about
the house on Monday and further re-
covering his strength returned TO his
duties Tuesday. Even then he looked
very pale and weak and had peculiar
stare In his eyes. as "A man who is puz-
zled at something. His complexion is
usually rudy. and his eyes quick and
discerning.

TO INFLATE PRICES.
How "A 81 Corset Becomes One at 81
Boldly Revealed With Applause.

From the New York Herald.
"Dressmakers are not in the business
for their health. but for money"
Thus spoke Miss Elizabeth White at
the star chamber session of the Dress
makers Convention, which met yester-
day at No 1872 West Twenty-third
street. The subject selected for dis
cussion was How. When and Where
to Initiate Prices' The conference
room was filled with modistes from all
parts of the land
''What are you working for?" Miss
White asked with emphasis. Your
health?"
Cries of mo! MOI" ''Well, 1 should
say not. If we want health We'll go
to Palm Beach or Lakewood, but as to
dressmaking, we are in it for money,
all we can make our customers pay"
Here every modiste applauded the
speaker to the echoe and Miss White
continued with hints for the imposition
of this advance upon customers.
"Of course, if you cannot produce the
| right goods she said, you have no
right to initiate your prices, but results
show that the union has made it pos
sible to more than double the wages
we formerly received"
Yes, indeed; just let me say a word
on that subject" cried a little woman.

where you can tuck on so per cent.

with the secret. II buy two dollars
