Mr.. SULLYSREPRESENTATIvE
Says Cotton Is Certain 10 Regain Its Former
High Level In Price.

The local representative OF Mr. d. ].
sully, made some interesting statements
yesterday about how the Providence
New York fnancier regards the big
slump I'm the cotton market.
This gentleman said that thu big de-
cline was not to be accepted as evidence
OF a weakening on the part Of the bull
faction, but that IL was quite natural
for a reaction to come, after the bulls
had extracted their profits from the
deals, for they could later buy back at
a large percentage OF profit.
Continuing. .he said "I wish | was as
sure OF salvation as am OF the markets
ability to regain it's former high level.
He claimed that the bulls would have no
trouble in buying back at a low price,
and the recent daring manipulations OF
the market would be repeated. and the
bulls would once more be the ruling fac
tion.
However this may be, Mr., Sully and
his associates were certainly hard hit
on the decline OF cotton. but other
brokers practically verify the statement
made by the local representative of
Sully.

Game Is Postponed,


The game between the Raritan
Copper Works first team and the
Deltas, which was to have been play
ed on Saturday afternoon on the
Copper Works diamond, has been
postponed because,as Manager Young,

team which is to play the Marions on
Saturday, afternoon and as it will be
impossible to get enough of our boys
to play the Deltas, we have put the

A great many South Amboy men
work in the Copper Works and some
of these play on the Copper Works
first team. AS they also belong tc
the South Amboy nine which will
cross bats with the Marions, the
Copper Works are cut out for Satur'
day but those who do not play with
South Amboy will be on hand to see

Queer Church Tribute.

Smoke-farthings were offerings paid
in olden days in Whitsuntide to the
priest, according to the number of chin
neys in his parish. Sometimes these dues
were demanded by the bishop of the do
cese, as an old manuscript records: "The
bishop of Ellie hath out of evrie parish in
Cambridgeshire a certain tribute called
smoke-farthings, which the church.
wardens to levie according to the num-
Der of cl "uneys that be in a parish"
Peters pence or spOke-money was still
paid at the end of the sixteenth century
in many English parishes. Similar to
this was a chimney-tax levied from time
to time to raise funds. This was most
obnoxious to the people, and Pepys in
his diary notes: Much clamor against
chimney-money; and the people say
they will not pay it without force" 1t

BOTH WRESTLERS ARR
CONFIDENT OF VICTORY
PardeIIO and Hansen will Appear
on the Mat for Best Two Out

Tonight H. P. Hansen, the local
wrestler will appear on the mat with
Leo Pardello the Italian champion.
AS this is the first match to- o4me off
here in some time, it is expected a
large crowo will be present. Moth
wrestlers have written to the Even
ing News stating that they are in the
pink of condition and both are con-
fident of victory.
Pardello declares that he has been
endeavoring for a long time to get a
chance at the Dane but has been kept
off. He says now that the oppor-
tunity has at last arrived, he will put
the local man down and out in such
great shape that Hansen will hardly
know what has happened.
On the other hand, Hansen has
been training lightly. to keep himself
in condition and says he will show the
Italian all about the game. The
match will be an interesting one.
Best two out of three falls Graeco-

FOR CATS.
Little Decorating Bombs Made Espe-

mo, We have an all-the-year-round
business" said a Park Place fireworks
dealer, when the remark was made that
he was probably folding his hands in
idleness now that the Fourth of July
was over, reports the New York Times.
Just sold 5000 worth of Roman
candles, rockets and rec fire to a district
leader who is to have an outing on Sat-
urday. Then there are fireworks and
colored fire for lawn parties. 1t would
surprise you how much these things are
used both at private and public affairs in
the suburbs. The frequent feasts of the
foreign colonies of Roman Catholics
give us quite a business, too. Then there
is a steady trade in cat torpedos."
Cat torpedoes?"
Eyes; little decorating bombs made
especially to interrupt the duets of
Thomas and Maria. You live in the city!
Well, have you never heard cats per-
forming on the back fence, followed by
a sharp explosion? You have probably
thought some fellow-sufferer had dis
charged his revolver. Well, he merely
tossed a cat torpedo at his feline tor
mentors.
These torpedos are made to explode
very easily. They will go off, with a
sharp report, ven if they hit a clothes
line or land on a grass plot. You are
way behind the times if you throw your
bootjack at the cats. They don't mind
those old-fashioned missiles, but if you
drop a torpedo out of your window you
will be rid of the vocalizing Of the
~felines, for they will scamper a block at
the explosion and you and your neigh
bors will rest in peace"

MIssOURpS SHIFTING FARMS.
Thousands of Acres Transferred
from One County to Another
by the River.

The Missouri river plays sad tricks
with land owners all along its way, but
non has lost more and none has gained
more by it's constant changes of course
than certain farmers in Coone and Cole
counties, Mo, says the Country Gentle
nan The Columbia Herald estimates
that Boone county has been robbed OIL
5000 acres of valuable land since 1865,
all of which has been added to Cole
county. Ten Boone county farmers
have, within recent years. lost from 20
to 120 acres, and one of them lost 120
out of 100 acres. People on the Cole
county side have profited proportions
ately-H. T. Wright. to whom has ac-
crued 400 acres; Ewing Johnson, 600
acres; Pressly Edwards, 100 acres, and
B. NJ. Anderson, $50 acres. What is
worse. Boone county is in great danger
of losing 5000 acres by a threatened
change in the rivers course. Fifty years
ago the little town of Wilton was two
miles inland. Now it is within a stones
throw of the river, and it is considered
itants will have to o. back or be
swept away. The people of Boone coun-
ty are becoming much concerned about
the situation, and are raising a fund
with which to wage battle with the ag-
gressive big Muddy" which seems dis
posed to turn all of their property over
to their Cole county neighbors.
