NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans, Aug. 5.-The spot cotton
market remains quiet but steady. Quo
tations unchanged.
The future market was steady at the
opening with prices 2 to points above
yesterdays closing; thereafter the list i'm
proved few points The higher prices
at the opening were caused by a better
Liverpool than was expected and
ports were also favorable. These features
gave the whole market a quiet tone and
also shaved off the advance of the open
ing and sent prices below the closing of
yesterday. The downward trend continued
to the close. when the list showed net
losses of points on August, % on Sep
TENDER. and Is points each on the other
positions.

Prescription for Nodding in Church.

Especial to News and Observer)
Goldsboro, N. c., August 5-Dr. w. B.
Crawford of the Walter section of this
county, who enjoys some distinction as "a
pill roller, has written prescription for
nodding in church, which will entitle him
to still further distinction and demon
strate his literary ability. Here it is:
1.-The best antidote for nodding in church
is to see another fellow nodding, and es-
pecially, when his head goes backward for
this invariably causes his mouth to fly
open and produces a snort, and then ne
will brush at fly or try to arrange his
hair and drop off to sleep and his hand
falls and in passing flops his lip He then
blares his eyes and like a dying calf looks
around to see if any one sees him. He
soon repeats the performance. Did you
ever see a pretty girl nod? They don't
nod often, but as you watch them while
the dropping eyelids close over the win
dows of the soul they sweetly launch i'll
the arms Of old Morpheus-well, you watch
in admiration and can't help from envying
old Morpheus.

NEW UNIVERSAL PROBLEMS.
How the Advance of Science has Made
New lnvestie alton Possible.

We all know that the nineteenth
century was marked by a separation
of the sciences into a vast number of
specialties, to the subdivisions of which
one could see no end. But the great
work of the twentieth century will be
to combine many of these specialties.
The physical philosopher of the pres
ent time is directing his thought to
the demonstration of the unity of crea-
ton. Astronomical and physical re-
searches are now being united in a
way which is bringing the infinitely
great and the infinitely small into one
field of knowledge. Ten years ago the
atoms of matter, of which it takes mil
lions of millions to make n drop of
water, were the minute objects with
which science could imagine itself to
be concerned. Now a body of expert
mentalists, prominent among whom

AN ARIZONA AERONAUT
Stewart Forbes Describes His Sensa-
tons Above the Earth.

Stewart Forbes of Bisbee was in the
city yesterday. Mr.. Forbes has become
interested in aerial navigation and will
be member of a party for trip
across the continent. Mr.. Forbes lik-
ing for ballooning was formed last
summer when Professor baldwin, the
aeronaut. was giving a series of ex-
hibitions at Bisbee and Douglas. Mr.
Forbes, like all other men, felt some
apprehension about leaving the earth
but the apprehension was overcome by
curiosity to see how the earth looked
from above.
One day the aeronaut gave him the
use of the outfit and he made an ascent
of three thousand feet and descended
in a parachute. Speaking of that trip
he said that after the first feeling of
nervousness was over he felt at home
and at peace. He lost the sense of the
danger Of falling. The balloon seemed
to be stationary but the earth was
slowly receding and he was not sorry to
see it 20. He knew though that it
would come back again. 1t didn't look
TO him at a distance like he thought it
would. When he started up he believed
that when he got high enough it would
look like the round ball shown in the
biographies. On the contrary it seemed
an immense saucer, the bottom immedi-
ately under him. The horizon forming
the rim was apparently on a level with
him. When at the height of more than
half n mile the time came for him to
cut himself loose in the parachute it
seemed the most natural thing in the
world for him to do. The idea of re
maininS in the balloon until the air
should slowly cool and the machine
should descend was hardly suggested
to him.
He says that that voyage gave him
An entirely new idea of the world, all
of the aeronauts that ever went UP

is comfortable at night only with two
good, heavy blankets over him. There
is no rainy season here as in Luzon,
although hardly a night passes that it
does not rain some. The dreaded di-
seases of other islands are not known
here.
There appears to be great deal of
mineral in the island and 1 should not
be surprised if some wonderful discov-
cries, similar to the copper discoveries
of America, are made in the future
The country is highly and richly min
eralized. AS to game, there is all kinds
of it-deer and wild hog keep us in
fresh meats all the time. There is no
difficulty in getting a good mess of
wild duck, sEipe, wild turkey and the
like any time we want it. 1t is a long
time getting mail in and out of the

month, it is taken by pack trains. Mail
day is a ration day. That is the day
that our rations are brought to us on
packs. This is every thirty days.

IN THE PHILIPPINES
An Observing Denver Boy Writes In
terestinly of Mundane.

Lieutenant Harry J. Collins, a Den
yer boy serving with the Twenty
eighth infantry, U. S. A, in Mindanao,
Philippine islands, writes to his father,
James Collins, of Denver, that in many
of the interior towns of the provinces
there had never been seen white man
until the advent there of the American
soldiers. He describes the country and
the people in an interesting way.
There is little of the northern part
of Mindanao 1 have not visited" he
writes, "but a few Moros who have not
seen Uncle Sans soldiers in these
parts Some of the towns visited have
never before been entered by a white
man. We were welcomed in the inter-
Tor as curiosities. This is certainly a
wonderful country and nature has, in
deed, provided the Moro with his share
of fine scenery and delightful climate
THE people are in great many re-
spects like the Filipino of Luzon and
Samar. However, they are a great
deal more savage and entirely void of
fear. They are an aggressive people
and have shown that they will fight,
and in their fanaticism know but one
thing and that is to kill any who op-
punishment for crime-death; so they
have no need for a judiciary. Their
peculiarities are many and it will re-
quire some time fur us to understand
them as a people. For instance, they
have no organization, as the people of
LuZon have. Each sultan has his own
people about him and he is the only
ruler they Know

and in gaining information. All one has
to do is to find out to what sultan a
man who has committed a crime be-
longs and then locate a man who is a
neighbor to the tribe containing the
criminal. 1t is no time then until the
criminal is located and gotten. Stealing
from one another among this people is
one of the worst crimes in their cal
endar 1t is punishable by death. But
to steal anything and to safely get
away with it from anyone else is con-
sidered an honor among them, and a
man who is so fortunate as to kill an
American and get the latter's gun is
Immediately made a datto, which is
something like a grandee in distinction
He is looked upon by the sultan then
as a right handy man.
There are some very wealthy people

and chattels Money seems to be very
scarce. And when they get hold of any
of it they Immediately gamble it away

gamblers. / have no doubt that an

Their occupation is about the same
