COTTON BALE 81 YEARS OLD.
Owner SwOre He Would Wait for
Decent COttOn-Expects to Get it.

IO-Cent COttOn-EXpecNS TO Uet He
From the New York Sun.
New Orleans, June 27.-The Brown
cotton corner is bringing great deal
of queer cotton to New Orleans. Cotton
has become so valuable that the own
ers of gins are scraping the floors and
have made us several bales of waste
cotton. Perhaps the most extraordi-
nary bale, however, is one that arrived
here to-day from Georgia. 1t is of
the crop of 1872, and is consequently
81 years old. Its owner held out for
Is cents that year, but when the mar
ket broke and cotton went down. he
swore he would never sell it for less
than 1e cents.
When cotton went up to IA cents in
New Orleans he shipped it here, to be
ready for the 16 cents he pledged him.
self to, with orders to his agent to
sell whenever that f1gurs was reached.
The cotton has been stored in room
for thirty-one years and is thoroughly
dried out, having lost fifty pounds in
the process of drying. Experts de-
clare the staple to be as good as ever.

From the Marine Journal.


The marine engineers as well as
other union labor organizations strikes
at the present time remind us that
millions on millions of dollars are lost
to wages, production, markets and
wealth every week nowadays by
strikes which are to get more money,
but which, even when they are won,
seldom net enough to make up Tor the
money lost in the strike period. Some
day, we suppose, the world will have
learned enough reason for both sides
to a controversy to sit down and dis
cuss what it is possible to do with
situation to the best possible advantage
of both and with the least possible
loss to any one. Then we shall not
have such absurd and impossible propO-
sitions as demands on employers which
would wipe out their entire earnings;
and we should not have capital and
labor mortal enemies with their hands
at each others throats when they
should be working for the greatest los
sible benefit to each: but we seem
long way yet from this era of right
and reason.

ABOUT COLONEL BELKNAP.

Something of the life, and charac-
teristics of Colonel Morris B. Belknap,
Republican nominee for governor, is
given BY the Louisville Post. and
shows that he is a gentleman Of feel
ing and resources, clever business
man, and one who has always favored
progress in all things The criticisms
of some of his opponents are effective
ly answered by this Post in the follow
ing:
"The Republican convention has Sc
lected as its candidate for governor
Colonel Morris BelknAp. In dong SO
it has named merchant of character
and capacity, and a public spirited
Citizen, who has been active in all
public enterprises that tax a mans
time and energy without bringing any
personsl rewards. Mr.. Belknap has
been prominently identified with the
board of trade. He was for years con-
nected with the Louisville Legion, and
when it enlisted in the army he en-
tered the army with the Legion. He
has been a most useful member OF the
board Of park commissioners and gives
his careful attention to any work he
undertakes.
"In philsnthropic work the city
owes much to Mr.. Belknap and to his
family, who have co-operated in oil
good works. The organized charities,
the kindergsrtens, and other public
enterprises, occasional and permanent,
h--, had the hearty and intelligent
assistan.- III the Belknaps. They have
given largely to the Young Men,

ed drinking fountains on our streets
they have been chiefly instrumental in
IN maintaining the wayfarers' Rest,and
! the chief ornament Of Cherokee park
il the new bridge. the gift OF Mr.. Nor
yis Belknap.
1--WE mention these matters merely
incidentally because they are matters
about which Mr.. Belknap is silent
always. and the city is not usually
muck TO recognize such services. .
In the selection Of Mr.. Belknap
the Republicans have Q leader whose

whose purposes are high. and whose

DEAFNESS NOT ALWAYS CAD.
Edison Does No, Lock Upon u az an
Afiiction

That Thomas A. Edison Is deaf Is n
fact well known TO the public. Only
his Intimate friends. however. are
aware that In his case deafness Is
more a psychological phenomenon
than a physical condition. That which
interests him he can usually hear very
well. but TO that which does not inter
est him he can be as deaf as the pro-
verbal adder
Not long ago a specialist In diseases
OF the ear called upon Mr.. Edison and
unfolded a plan Of treatment which
he was sure would restore his hearing.
The inventor listened TO his story with
patience. as II was Informative on sew
eral points. To the proposition that
he submit TO treatment. however. Mr..
Edison opposed an emphatic negative.
What I'm afraid Of" said he. is
that you would be successful. Just
think what a lot OF stun Id have to
listen TO that | don't want TO hear, To
be a little deaf and be the only one
who knows just how deaf you are has
its advantages, and on the whole !
think prefer to let well enough
alone"

No wonder Paducah is so far behind
other cities in the improvement Of her
streets and sidewalks, when the legis-
lative boards waste:week after week
in senseless and inefficient wrangling
and inactivity. Many months have
passed since the city decided TO pave
several blocks of streets in the bust
ness part of town, but practically moth
ing has ever been accomplished to-
wards doing it, The improvement is
virtually today where it was year
ago. II the members Of the boards
can't make up their minds what ought
to be done and then do it, they should
resign and let somebody else try. They
wouldn't waste time this way in the
TRANSACTION of their own business.

EQUAL TO THE OCCASION.
Young Woman Could Write Fair
Business Letter Herself.

A Baltimore woman. the belle OF her
set. was much surprised not long ago
to receive an invitation of which the
following is the substance.
MIR. Blank presents his compli-
ments to Miss Dash, and requests the
pleasure OF her company at the theat
er Thursday evening next
Awaiting and hoping for an early
and favorable reply, We are, yours
very truly, Blank q Co"
The writer OF this remarkable ef
fusion is a young business man who
is a partner In a large furniture con
Germ. He attends to a large proper
lion OF the correspondence OF the nrm,
and. OF course. signs the firms name
thereto. SO absorbed was he In bust
ness that he concluded his invitation
with the stereotyped sentence above.
and, to cap the climax, signed the
firms name to It, The fair recipient,
however appreciated the situation,
and the young man was thunderstruck
to receive a letter addressed to him
personally. but containing the follow
ing reply TO his invitation:
"Messrs. Blank & Co.: Your favor
Of recent date TO hand and contents
noted. In reply will say we accept
the proposition therein made and hold
the goods ordered subject to yr. fur
Their instructions. Very respectfully.
Miss Dash e. Co."
Explanations and apologies followed
says the New York Times, and the
invitation was duly accepted, but the
matter was too good to be kept a
secret. and for some time after life
was made q burden to that young
man. Even the meaningless query,
"How's business?" suficed to drive
him frantic.
