Washington, Aug. 2S.-The Navy De- pertinent has received cablegram from Rear Admiral Cotton saying. that the Brooklyn and San Francisco will sail for Beirut Sunday from Genoa.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-08-30

Cotton is rolling in at fair rate and farmers are rushing to take advantage of the price that is now prevailing. Near lv all the small towns in this section have received their first bale and many more than that number. Louisville received it's first bale yesterday and paid 1S cents for it. It is expected that the receipts here this week will run close to fifty bales.
 The fall business is opening up nicely and comparative statements for this month will show a very heavy gain over last season. The cotton crop as whole is the best in several years, and the ad- vanced price Is very gratifying to the farmers all of whom will come out on top if 1t prevails during the season.

ISERIES OF MISHAPS.
strange Accidents That Followed an
Unlucky Miscue.
Billiard Ball Smashed n Rare old
Vase, Caused IN Old Lady's Death
and Broke a Promising
> Engagement.

A single miscue of billiard ball
has started u train of mishaps that
contribute to make two young per-
sons exceedingly unhappy, have
caused the death of highly re-
.spected and wealthy aunt of one OF
the two young persons and partly
destroyed an expensive residence.
The miscue was made by NJ. Reich
ard, young Partisan of wealth, who
is exceedingly fond of billiards. He
is in the habit of playing quiet
game at his home whenever the idea
appeals to him, and on the occasion
of the miscue was indulging in his
favorite pastime. The balls were left
in position that appealed to his bill
lard instinct as particularly suited
to finely devised carom. He shot
with considerable force, but with an
utter lack of his usual skill. The
ball went bounding from the table
and, striking the tiled floor of the
billiard room, bounded along the floor
and out of the window. There was
a sound of smashing glass and the
ball was given up for lost.
In the house Immediately adjoining
the house of NJ. Reichard lived an in
valid woman of some wealth, anG
possessed, above all, of a most at
tractive young niece. They were close
friends of the young man who made
the miscue, and, in fact, he had fol
some time been engaged to marry
the pretty niece.
1t appears, however, that the bill
lizard ball, after its leap out of the
window, was not content to stop al
a bit of broken glass. 1t wen,

An An International Peace Council

An International Peace Council.
1t is quite consistent that out of the
modern Athens there should come q
plan for universal peace much like
that which was aimed to abolish war
in ancient Greece.
The American Peace society, with
headquarters in Boston, has petitioned
the great and general court of Massa-
chusetts to request the congress of the
United States to authorize the presi-
dent to invite the governments of the
world to join in establishing a regular
international congressional is, con-
vention which shall resemble in GER
tain respects The Hague conference
of three years ago, but which shall
convene at certain specified times, say
once in five or seven years, and at
some definite place of meeting.
What is proposed is practically an
amplifcation and moderniZation of
the amphictyonic councils of ancient
Greece, whose essential purpose was
to maintain amity between the various
states Of the Hellenic league. 1t will
be recalled that the representatives in
the Delphic amphictyony agreed under
oath If war must occur-and the Greeks
seemed to consider that in certain diff
ferences no other settlement was pOssi-
ble-the amphictyons would not destroy
tn 4,,p, jfc
running waters either in time Of war
or in time of peace and would not sell
as slaves the inhabitants of conquer
ed city.
The underlying idea Of the Peace So
ciety's proposition is that the time has
come in the history of the world when
1T is possible for the great governments
to act together with more certainty
and regularity than have up to this
time been thought possible. AT rela-
lively short intervals public opinion
in different countries calls for the con-
vening of conferences to adjust mat
ters of difference between the various
nations or to provide improved sys-
TENS of international intercourse. In
stead of trusting these forward move
ments in civilization to such sporadic
efforts as an occasional peace congress
like that of The Hague, it is urged that
there should be established some per-
manent system in which all tendencies
making toward the peace of the world
and the general improvement of its
people can center themselves in an in
ternational conference having a pre-
scribed place of meeting and known
time Of convening. Such permanent
international council is the proper and
logical outcome of the permanent court
of arbitration created by The Hague
conference and would amplify and
strengthen rather than restrict or con-
fict with the powers and prerogatives
of that tribunal. While we may hard
ly look for universal peace in our day
and generation, it seems that the sug-
gestion of the American Peace society
embodies an exceedingly important ad-
vance in civilization.

Then the young people undertook
the task of consoling each other. 1t
was entirely to the liking of NJ.
Reichard, who did his best to relieve
the mind of his charming young
fancee. In the progress of his court
ship he sought in every way to be
diverting and entertaining. He told
the young woman many stories of his
daily affairs, and finally recalled the
incident of the billiard ball and his
funny miscue,
Then there began a comparing OF
days and dates, and it was found
that the day of the billiard miscue
and the day of the fire in the house
of the rich maiden aunt conceded
The inference followed that the bill
lard ball had frightened the pet An
CORA cat, who had in turn upset the
lamp, which set fire to the house and
caused the firemen to invade the
place and so shock the maiden aunt
that her death was the outcome of it
all.
1t was an unbroken chain of cir
cumstantial evidence. The miscue
was the provoking cause of it all.
The miscue was committed by M,
Reichard, and logically it followed
that NJ. Reichard was responsible for
the death of the beloved aunt.
The charming niece broke off the
engagement out of hand in spite OF
the protestations of NJ. Reichard
who is not even left the consolation
of playing billiards, as he VOWS he
will not again touch cue unless the
young woman forgives him for his
bad play.

rare vase beneath. This it smashed
to thousand fragments.
In the room where the ball made
its first appearance was the favor
lite Angora cat of the wealthy aunt.
This cat, to her way of thinking, was
a thing to be priced above all things.
The cat was not accustomed to sur
prises such as that furnished by the
combined efforts of the billiard ball
and the vase. So the cat took n
panic and bolted. In it's wild fight
to the protecting care of it's mis-
tress it took short cut, and in so
doing upset a lighted lamp with
grave results. A curtain was ig-
nited, and then the woodwork of the
room followed. In moment the en-
tire house was Al peril. An alarm
was sent out for that spectacular or
ganization known as the Paris fire
department. What damage the fire
omitted they looked after. and when
they had finished the condition Oh
the rich maiden aunt was more than
serious-it was critical.
M. Reichard, whose intentions were
known to the aunt, was sent for, and
blessing was asked upon the match
that was expected to follow. In the
course of q few days the srich aunt
passed away, the shock of the fire
and the consequent excitement hay
dng been too much for her enfeebleC
condition.
