NEW ORLEANS. June 22.-Early Liver pool ad vices were disappointing consequently our market opened l point higher old crop months and 4 points upon the new. Subse- quently rains reported generally through out the belt. This occasionsd steadiness later in Liverpool and brought in buyers. super inducing an improvement of points from the bottom on August. 33 on September and l2G 8 points the other pngitICns In the afternoon Texas points reporting clearing and warmer weather. caused a decline of 79o from the top on the next crop options making the net gain points on July end August, 2y other months The most important feature in establishing good buying by insiders today were numerous reports from reliable parties in Texas. claiming that the boil weevils were doing serious damage to the crop in various portions of that State. Manchester cables say that the prominent feature of the cloth r~arket last week was inanimatlon offers being seldom acceptable. Eastern staples practically unstable at the rates required and the shirt ing trade was much depresJ VI. It is expected that the weekly weather report tomorrow will be favorable. owing to inc growing weather existing throughout the belt during the past seven days Nevertheless 1t is contended that the recen sharp decline Lased this factor. and that 1t is essential that the weather must be ideal for the balalse of the season the plant. As long, how.5er. as the near months are SO firmly held. there is justih- cation for selling the new crop months at these immense discounts. especially as large yield is required for the worlds needs next year. Therefore, still think well of purchasing new crop options all decided declines, with view of realiEing on spurts.

THE PLUMBER MAYOR
Denounces the Walking Delegate as
 an Injury.

an injury.
 Derby. (Conn. Dispatch to Dew York
 World.
 The walking delegate was denounced. condemned, and cognition of the union deprecated in an interview granted The World today by George P. Sullivan. the Plumber Mayor of Derby"
 Sullivan is one of the four trades union mayors of Connecticut, his admin istration being concurrent with those of Mayor Dennis Mulverhill of Bridgeport, Mayor stephen Charters of Ansonia, and Mayor Ignatius Sullivan of Hartford. He is the local laobr leader and. ex-President of the Derby Central Union. which last November startled the State with mu- nicipal campaign that overthrow the Re publican ring and elected Sullivan, a young gas filter to be chief executive of the city. Mayor Sullivan said:
 "The best thing labor unions can do is abolish the walking delegate. He is more or less of a 'grafter and by the plain workingman he Is not wanted. 1 believe his days are numbered. The unions have been in the hands of a few men who have run them more in the interest of themselves than that of the members. Power concentrated in the hands of the few excludes the many and such exclusion is un-American and contrary to the original trades union principles.
 Recent startling revelations have shown that the walking delegate Is a detriment, not a benefit. There are cases where he has received compensation from both sides, holding the one position where this can be done. These union agents are fast giving labor a black eye and the best thing trades unionism can do Is to banish the whole lot of them. The indi- vidual unions know best what they want, what Is fair for them to have and what their PmD1OVPFS ara able grant
 'I believe that all unions must be run on business principles. Let us rid our selves of the 'grafters. the walking del- egates and the hish-salaried officials"

NEW YORK. June 22-It looked very much as though Mir, Brown intended to get control of the present stocks of cotton in New York and New Orleans. At one time there were evidences that enough cotton had been sold to allow him to liqu late gradually and ter minate his interest July and August in both markets. At that t.me there a well defined impression in a great many circles that such would be the case. But recent de- velopments have rather 6EIiCved this idea. Instead of iiquidating the remainder. houses doing business for New OrleanE people buyers of July and August comparatively large scale considering prices. This huving extends into September three options in New Orleans are under control of long 'rter- ests there. It can be readily seen, granting, of course. the ability f these people to take cotton and get rid of it without any catas- trophe. that we are going to have a very desirable sort of market the rest of the Sum mer Under the clrcum S-llces we cannot but feel that the new crop months better purchases on breaks than the sale on bulges. A few more days of good weather and i'm provement in figures issued July 3rd and new crop ought to work back to 9h cent basis
 But the present time market does not appear substantial one fluctuations very extensive and cratic without making much progress in eiher direction. We would like to see further decline on good weather and favorable report on July 3rd and aster that market Is likely to improve.

Punishment of Tantalus.

 Put an ordinary chair front downward on the ground. now ask some one to kneel on the lower back bar and to re- cover with his mouth a piece of candy or small article placed on the back of the uppermost part of the chair
 It seems very simple at first, but If the person attempting the experiment is not very careful to crouch in such way that the center of gravity falls back of the chair seat the chair will give him an unpleasant tumble.
 When trying this experiment have some one to stand near to catch you in case you should fall.

Virgin 6 Faunce's Cotton Letter.

NEW YORK. June 22.--There was rather uncertain market for cotton futures Monday. The opening was steady with first prices un- changed to an advance of points. This ruling was better than ct'l and due primarily to better cables from the English market. The crop news was less bearish and served to offset any unfavurable expression that might have been felt re;Sarding the foreign situa- tion. The weather mtD was rather unfavor- able noting sS If rainfall in some sections of the belt. Shorts were the best buyers The bears were uneasy and took ad- vantage of every little oip on which to reduce their obligations. Investment buying was also noted to q certain mt, though as the day wore on the room crowd became in possession of the list and scalolng business was the result The late fucuIlti)ns reflected nervous ness though for the most part. conservative interests were disposed hold of for further and fresh developments. The Liverpool mar ket appeared to be disposed to follow rath- CT buliish trend and such action served to stimulate confidence. There was some fresh talk with regard to the manipulative element. but the coings of the latter element con ttnued of unce' tain type. "fe movement "t cotton continued fair and the promise was for weekly port receipts of about 5000 bales The crop etvIees f private natAtc from tho Southwest were conflicting and but few interests cared to go on record saying just what the outcome would be.

HILL AIMS TO
HAVE MONOPOLY
MORE LIGHT ON THE MAGNATE'S
PLANS in CONNECTION WITH
THE ORIENTAL TRAFFIC..

CHICAGO, April 22-Additional facts
came to light today regarding the plan
by which James j. Hill expects to Sc
cure and control absolutely the Oriental
trade through the port of Seattle. A
short time ago at a meeting of the
traffic men interested freight rates to
China, Japan, Australia, the Philip
pine Islands and India were reduced to
be on par with those from New York
TO the same places via the Suez. The
advantage to the Hill line of equal
rates from New York is appreciated
when it is known that insurance is
cheaper by way of Seattle. This differ
ence will make it possible for Hill to
secure traffic for his Oriental steam
ship line which he would not otherwise
enjoy.
The purpose of building boats which
are more than twice as large as the
freight boats now afioat is to make
competition by other steamship Tines
difficult. The majority of competing
craft would rest comfortably in the
hold of Hils new boats. 1t is there
fore expected that every steamship
plying between Seattle and the Orient
will have to give way to the Hill
steamers, which will be able to secure
a monopoly of the traffic.
Regarding return loads from the
Orient, Hill is not so particular One
purpose of constructing the new boats
was to create tonnage from the East
over the Burlington and northern lines
to Seattle for export. The object Of this
is to provide loads for Hill's freight
cars, which have TO be hauled 1000 and
5000 miles to get the varied products of
the Northwest and transport them to
the markets of the East. II equal ton
mage was created by the new boats
eastward Hill would be in no better
position regarding hauling 'empties"
to the Northwest than he is now.

SENATOR HANNA ADMITS ADMIR-

IN TALK TO STUDENTS.

COLUMBUS co., April Ex-senator
Hanna, in his address to me students of
the Ohio University this morning, made
the statement that he would hire girl
stenographers every time in preference
to men, and, If it were not for his wife,
would fill his office with them, because,
he said: They are more industrious
more efficient end a good deal safer
Besides, ] admire them
This statement was received with
cheers by the students. On the platform
with Senator Hanna were Governor
Nash and Congressman Grosvenor, and
they too Joined in the burst Of en-
thusiasm which followed the frank
statement. The Senator addressed the
students in the chapel of the college at
the convocation and his talk was in
formal, dealing with the advantages of
young men and women created by high
er education. Speaking of the element
of success the Senator said:
ut is an encouraging sign in our de-
velopment that young women find voca-
lions suitable to them. Why, If my
wife would allow me, 1 would have
young women filling every position of
stenographer in my office. 1 plead
guilty; / admire them"

1T is DIFFERENT NOW.

Once upon u time students Of
medicine hold the notion that
there were as many diiIereu.
diseases as the body has organs
and parts; every one Of these
ailments requiring different
treatment, SO stupid a mistake
could lead only to miserable fail
ures. For the fact is, the body
is single machine; and what
concerns one part of it concerns,
more or less closely, all the
rest. Thus we see how it hap
pens that one remedy, or mode
of treatment, may relieve and
cure a variety of complaints,-or
what may appear like . variety,
but are really various forms or
outcomings of the same cause.
Take, for example, Anemia, Scro-.
fula, Poverty of Blood, General
Debility, Influenza, Throat and
Lung Diseases, etc.-a, formidable
array indeed they look to be: yet
