 VERY IRREGULAR Opened at Decline Under Llqul- dation by Longs NET ADVANCE AT CLOSE Sales Were 5oo,ooo Bales, the Largest for Any Saturday on Record-There
 Wac Heav. Covering lmme-
 diateIy After the Call.

New York, November 7.-Infiuenced by fine weather, heavy receipts and lower cables, the cotton market opened weak at a decline of to fl points under liqui- < ation by longs, who were also appre-
 ensive that the report of the census { ureau due slightly after the opening, s 'ould either prove less bullish than ex- l, ected or fail to affect the market which las recently advanced nearly cent and a half on short crop talk. Immediately after the call, however, there was heavy covering and prices before the issuance of the report had regained or of their initial loss. On receipt of the report the market dropped to 1093 for December, 1893; for January, 1O91, and 10sS for May, but was almost at once eased off under heavy realizing. The trade here seemed to place a bullish significance on the re- port.
 After sagging back about 4 points, the market was rallied again by active cov- ering and showing of bull support, though it was evident tremendous amount of long cotton was for sale. Not withstanding this. prices reached the highest of the season.
 The market closed slightly below the best, but strong at a net advance of 12 to 20 points. The sales were 5Oo,00o bales, the largest for any Saturday on record.
 Estimated receipts of cotton at the ports today were 60,000 bales against 74.63O last wek and 52,13S last year. For the week 100000 bales against 412,2i7 last week. and 546,5S3 last year.

 The youthful couple who had just moved into the suburban town stood ir- resolutely at the door of the church.
 His Imperial Majesty, gracefully con- cealing his cloven foot behind flower bed. smiled pleasantly at them from the rustic seat near the entrance.
 Pardon me-" he said pleasantly, but I wouldn't go fin there.'
 "Why not?" chorused the man and his wife.
 You'll find it somewhat of a bore. u"-addressing the man-"will be put on committees, and have to pass the plate. If you go to the theater too much, or are seen on the links on Sunday morn- ing. you'll have 1t rubbed into you. And you'-addressing the woman-"will have to belong to sewing circles that you don't care for, and foreign mission societies which you don't believe in
 T never thought of that" said the man.
 Nor l." said the woman.
 There's a good deal of humbug about it." said His Majesty. And besides. it's expensive. They are begging all the time. It's pew rent. and the church debt. and the choir. and incidentals-theres no end of 1t. Better stay out"
 We will" exclaimed the man and the woman simultaneously, and prepared to withdraw. But at this moment the pas tor who had overheard the conversation, appeared on the scene with outstretched arms.
 My dear friends" he observed, with the utmost confidence, please allow me to observe that my church Is the church of the place. And 1t is only through my church that you can expect to get into society"
 And they hurried in precipitately.

NEW ENGLAND NOW.
Even at This Late Day She Has Her
 Armed Patrol.

From the Boston Journal
 New and-Massachusetts which IS ultra New England-is the scene of strange conditions in the year of our Lord 1903. Out in the wild and woollv west one looks for strange conditions. They belong to the district They are part and parcel of it's atmosphere. En- terprlsing dramatists show them on the stage and they are labeled apostles Of realism. But New England! We nave been comfortably long settled. We are peaceful, law abiding. We live a humdrum existence.
 Nevertheless, no farther away from Boston than Attleboro an armed pa- trol Is pacing the country roads every night, and farmers, just as they did 200 years ago, have banded them selves together for mutual protection against enemies who turk in the dark and strike behind the back. In the olden times it was Indians. Today 1t is the poisoner of cattle and the bur ner of houses. Which one is the worst 1t is hard to say.
 These poisonings have now been so long continued as to prove them the outcome of most deliberate and das- tardly maliciousness. Stock, dogs, and poultry have suffered. The next logi- cal step is human life. No wonder the farmers are waxing vigilant. Revenge is said to be the motive for this griev- ous mischief. Whatever it's motive, it's results are all too plain. Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea for the state police to pull off chasing Revere rum- sellers, who only poison, by degrees, and get away with these Anleboro chaps who poison for keeps.

 Those who enjoy refinement in the drama and purity in comedy should not fail to see Harry Beresford In Ihe Professors Love Story" It's author J. M. Barrie needs no introduction to the intelligent theater goer. "The Little Minister, and Quality Street. are char acter studies never to be forgotten, and in comparison there is no doubt that "The Professors Love Story excels either of the above plays in point Of originality and interest. It IS literary composition so unstudiedly and faultless- ly arranged that its success is not de- pendent upon dramatic situation nor on the medium of method and stage device. It is the simple story of the science-lured scholar, a man prematurely aged, enam- ored only of his muse, who suddenly conceiyes a sense of human affection. He loves unconsciously and the woman ia his secretary, a character. the ideality yet sweet humanity of which Is worthy of Tennnyson.

 Kelly Cole the eminent young tenor who makes his first concert tour in Am erica, Is said to make a speciality of rare ly heard and beautiful songs, modern and classical His voice, which has been trained under George Ferguson in Ber- 1ln Is according to the European critics of exceptional quality which combines the warmth and richness of the baritone with the sweetness and the purity of the tenor. He has made notable successes In England with Edward Egar's King Iaf' and "Caractaeus" as well as the tenor part in the Dream of Gerontius."
 MT. Loudon c. Charlton announces for her first tour this coming season, in this couniry Mime. Harmon Force, who re- turns rom abroad fully equipped for en- agreements in concert oratorio and re- cital. The distinguished young dramatic soprano has studied under the best masters here and abroad. In 1896 after some serious work in New York with William Courtney, she went to Paris and took an extended and thorough course with Sbrigla. and since then she has coached at different times with both Randegger and George Henschel in Lon don. Her repertoire embraces all the standard oratorios cantatas, operatic arias, and German, French and English songs of wide range and variety.
 It is curious how the geography Of fiction will cling to an actor. This Is again illustrated in Tim Murphy's new comedy, "The Man From Missouri" Ii will reveal him as a politician In Wash ington. This comedian has tried to break away from the capitol but fate and the dramatist seem to return him there about every alternate dramatic election. He served long term at the capitol as the Hon. Maverick Brander in "A Texas Steer. and came back again as Joel Gay in "A Capitol Comedy" This season he returns. after a brief ab- sence as ''The Man From Missouri" Mir. Murphy. by the way, considers him. self a resident of Washington, though he was born in Massachusetts and spends most of his summers on Long Island.
