NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, La, Sept. 15.-Spot cotton
in good demand and firm. Sales $500, in
Guiding $500 to arrive. Quotations ad
vanced 1-16c. Futures opened steady with
prices to points higher than the close
of Yesterday. The advance was due to
the general expectation of bu.ish bureau
report, a sensational advance in the Liv.
erpool spot market, cool weather and ru-
mors that the boil weevl had again been
found in Louisiana this time near Alex
andria. Soon after the opening selling
movement was inaugurated and prices
were sent down to points. When the
government bureau report was read there
was some excitement, but prices showed
no inclination to advance. On the con
trary, they were weighed down by profit
taking. 1t was evident that the effect of
the bureau report had been entirely dis
counted in the trading of yesterday and
the early hours of today. In the trading
October opened at 994, sold up a point
and then down to 976.
December opened at $50, asked sold at
aS2, then down to 962; aJnuary opened at
9S5 and sold down to 967; March opened
at 9S9, sold up to 900 and then down to
972 The general trend of the prices was
downward and this condition continued
to the close when the list showed net
losses of 10 points on December and IL
each on all other positions.

New York Sept 15-The market shows
little variation with buyers operating in
the most conservative manner for spot
goods, while future business is of very
small proportions.
The question of a scarcity in many lines
is becoming more imortant factor every
day, but buyers do not seem to be
troubled about this condition.
NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, Sept. 15.-The cotton market
opened barely steady at an advance of II
points to decline of points, February
and March being the only options lower.
The advances were due to renewal of
bull support and covering following the
higher English spot market, where prices
were marked up another Is points and
the relative firmness of September in that
market, which advanced beyond local ex-
pectations, while the latter positions were
hardly as high as had been considered
due OH the New York closing of the pre-
vious day. September here came in for
the most aggressive support and sold as
high as 11.30 on the CALL while October
reached 1910 December 999 and January
977. Almost Immediately, however, sell
ing orders came pouring in as result OF
disappointment over the showing of the
weather map, which had been expected tc
reflect no little damage from the South
ern storm. This, however, appeared to
have spent its force in Florida and to
have developed into nothing more serious
than good soaking rains" by the time it
reached the central belt. These were
thought to be of more benefit to cotton
than HARM and brought about active sell
ing for both accounts under which prices
reached a level some 709 points below
yesterdays finals. The betterment was
short lived Notwithstanding the fact that
the regular weekly report of the weather
bureau proved even more bull;sh than had
been looked for and during the afternoon
the market ruled generally weak, reaching
the lowest point of the session under active
liquidation and selling for short account.
September sold as low as 1892, October
reached $50, while December touched 979.
Just before the close demand became
slightly better on the reaction theory and
September rallied few points, closing at
11O1. General speaking, however, prices
were finally at the low point with the
market steady at net loss of 16 to 20
points. Sales estimated 100000 bales.
NEW YORK, Sept. 15-Cotton spot closed

Views of an Indiana comrade.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: If there
is to be service pension bill passed, l
think all of the comrades should stand
solid together for the proposed $12 Der
month service pension to all. 1t seems to
me that service pension has no more
reference to or connection with q disa-
bility pension than our bounty had. If
it is to be wholly or in part q disability
pension, then it is not service pen
sion. A service pension should be in addi-
tion to any disability pension a cOmrade
may be in receipt of; otherwise it would
have the effect Of taking away his dis
ability pension, if he is receiving less than
$12 per month. Or else he would receive
was in receipt of disability pension of Sc
per month. And those who are drawing
$12 or over per month would receive no
more service pension than they would if
they had never been mustered into the
service of the U. S. at all. Neither is it
a "per diem" pension bill which we are
now working for, but a service pension
bill, and should apply to every honOrably
discharged soldier who was mustered into
the U. S. service during the war of
'61-'65. without regard to the length of
time he served, or whether he Is disabled
or not; or how young or how old he may
be. After such q bill becomes q law,
think per diem bill would have a much
better chance of becoming a law than it
now has. ] am also in favor Of placing
pension rolls at $12 per month, whether
their husbands "died from wounds or dis
ease contracted while in the line of duty"
or at later period.-T. s. SHEFFIELD,

Divorced People in the United States.
(ArgOnaut)

There are now 51,53S divorced people
in the United States, Of whom 32,2O5 are
women and 1884 are men. The reason
for such an excess of women is explained
on the theory that divorced men are more
apt to remarry than divorced women.
There are very few cities in which the
number of divorced men is greater than,
or even equal to, the number of women
st. Joseph is the most conspicuous, for
among its inhabitants are 352 men and
327 women who have been separated from
their conjugal mates by the courts. Omaha
is second, with 249 divorced men and 236
women. Chicago is the champion divorce
city. 1t has had that reputation for a
long time, and, although rhe 4,341 divorced
people who reside there may not have
been separated by the local courts, they
have nevertheless chosen it us n place
Of residence. and they number more than
twice as ma2y as are found in New York
Certain other cities have q similar dis
tinction, although they are not so con-
spicuous as Chicago. The Chicago
Record Herald has prepared this list of
the 20 cities with the largest number Of
divorced people among their inhabitants:
Chicago, 4,341; New York, 2,146; Phila-
delphia, 1,772; San Francisco, 1,76O; st.

tack from either side of the road.
The First Brigade, commanded by Col
Opdycke, formed in line of battle across
the road and threw out skirmishers to the
rear and marched forward, ready to about
face and engage the enemy.
This delicate and important movement
was thus successfully carried out as plan

Wagner withdrew from Spring Hill Gen.
Cox entered Franklin with his Division.
The command moved off in good order.
The enemy began skirmishing with the
rear of Col. Opdycke's column early in the
morning. but no serious attack was made.
This great night movement was made
without the loss of n man.

on the morning of Nov. 80. He found no

the fords in bad condition. He caused

had bridge built for the use of both men
and teams.
Gen. Schofeld desired to avoid fight

retreat and come up with him again.

continued intact for centuries had not the

A broad brick paved gallery completely
surrounded the house, and pair of wind
ing marble steps at each front end went
to the gallery above Nantes and frescoes
from Spain were throughout the house.
For many years all strangers In the city
would visit this historical old place, which
was beautifully situated within a grand
wooded park.

with gold and topaz gems, with attendants

Later on the old mansion was given the

the famous men Of America and other
countries.
1t was here that Aaron Burr at one time

be married: Jefferson Davis too, visited
the place. He also was married to his
second wife at ''The Brars." in Natchez.

is the most touching incident in the life of
this heroic man.
sit was Memorial Day IS years ago to-
morrow, in the city of New York, the last
ing the members of the G. A. r., the vet
Grams in that vicinity, arose earlier than
was their wont. They seemed to spend
more time that morning in unfurling the
old battle-flags, in Furnishing the medals
OF honor which decorate their breasts, for
on that day they had determined to march
by the house of their dying commander,
to give him last marching salute. In
the streets the columns were forming; in
side the house on that bed from which he
was never to rise again, lay the stricken
chief. The hand which had seized the
surrendered sword of countless thousands
could scarcely return the pressure of the
friendly grasp. The voice which had
cheered on to triumphant victory the le-
gions of Americas manhood could no
longer call for the cooling draft which
slaked the thirst of fevered tongue; and
PROSTATE on that bed of anguish lay the
form which m the New World had ridden
at the head of the conQuering column,
which in the Old World had been deemed
worthy to stand with head covered and
feet sandled in the presence of princes,
kings, and emperors. Now his ear caught
the sound of martial music. Bands were
playing the same strains which had min
gled with the echoes of his guns at Vicks-
burg, the same quickstep to which his
men had sped in hot haste in pursuit of
Lee through Virginia. And then came the
heavy, measured steps of moving columns,
a step which can be acquired only by
years of service in the field He recog-
niZed il all now 1t was the tread of his
old veterans. With his little remaining
strength he arose and dragged himself to
the window. AS lie gazed upon those
battle-fags dipping to him in salute. those
precious standards bullet-riddled, battle
stained, but remnants Of their former
selves, with scarcely enough of them on
which to print the names of the battles
they had seen, his eyes once more kindled
with the flames which had lighted them at
Shiloh, on the nights of Chattanooga, and
amid the glories of Appomattox
AS those war-scarred veterans looked
with uncovered heads and upturned faces
for the last time upon the pallid features
of their old Chief, cheeks which had been
bronzed by Southern suns and begrimed
with powder, were bathed in tears of
manly grief. Soon they saw rising the
hand which had SO often pointed out ia
them the path of victory. He raised il
slowly and painfully to his head in recog.
milton Of their salutations. The column
had passed, the hand fell heavily by his
side. 1t was his last military salute"
