EPISCOPAL BAZAAR.

The ladies of the Episcopal church are to be congratulated on the success of the baZar, which showed rare taste on part of the workers, who secured an edu- cated goose for the entertainment of the children.
 The art department also de- serves mention, being something new and original. On being re- ceived in the art booth one natu- rally expected to find famous pictures and historic relics, but owing to the recent express strike it was impossible to have on exhibition some of the adyer- tised attrations, and in order that the public might not be disap- pointed, each missing member was appropriately represented. "A Heavenly Body was pro- duced in the shape of an old dip per. Two led pencils represented The Cedars of Lebanon.
 The public thoroughly appreci- ated the efforts of the ladies, which was shown by their liberal patronage.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst

goes through life bearing load OF misery
and wretchedness that is terrible 10 think

Headaches as rule, result from dis
ordered condition of the nervous system.
Mental excitement, loss Of sleep, bodily
fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting
causes. When the brain becomes tired and
debili,a,ed, the whole nervous system is weak

sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion
deraneed, headaches invariably follow. ic

coTToN'S new HIGH RECORD.
Sales on New York Exchange Fri
day 1900, 1000 Bales.

New York, Nov. 13.-There was a
wild wave of bullish excitement and
activity in the cotton market this
morning and prices scored new high
records for the season. The opening
was firm at an advance of l to. 10
points, and on the call the active
months showed up to level net 7al0
points higher on active bull support
and scare of shorts, which was influ-
enced by firm cables, smaller receipts
and prospects for more unsettled
weather in the Western belt. 1t was
reported that spinners were not follow
ing the advance and after the call
there was enough realizing to bring
about slight recessions. December sold
at IL. Is, January at 11.20. March at
I1.27 and May at 11.28. The market at
this level continued feverishiy active
with all sorts of rumors in circulation
regarding possible speculative devel-
opments, including talk Of corner in
December.
The market continued very active
during the entire session, and was
of the season. With hardly reaction
it sold up on heavy buying by brok-
ers with. New Orleans connections and
active covering by shorts. In the late
trading the market was at the best
point of the session, with December
selling at H. 80; January 11.33; March
1I..43; May 11.45, and July IL 45. The
market closed steady at net of to
"a points. Sales estimated at 1,500, 600
bases. fa total reached only twice be-
fore in the history Of the market.

dun Z cos WEEKLY REVIEW.
Rsadiustment of Wages and Abb
normally Warm Weather no
incentive to Better Trade
Conditions.

New York, Nov. 13.-R. G. Dun &
Co. IS Weekly Review of Trade tomor-
row will say: Rsadjustment of wages
and abnormally warm weather are
not calculated to stimulate dlstrlbu-
ton of merchandise, especially wear
ing apparel and fuel. Several other
stsple lines are quiet as is usual at
this season, yet the splendid profits Of
agricultural communities cannot fail
to put larger sums of money in circuta-
tion and provide market fog COM
modities. Prices of. all staples were
slightly higEer on Nov. than month
previous but in the last two weeks the
level has fallen somewhat. Settle
ments OF labor disputes in meat pack
ing. lithographing and several minor
industries are Offset By new struggles
in the building trades, street car lines
and coal mines, while the cut in wages
of iron workers and spinners may result
IN strikes. A helpful event vas, the
resumption Of work at Montana copper
1nines, coke ovens and western stock
yards. Railway earnings for the hrst
week Of November were q. s per cent.
larger tran last year. With raw cot
ton ssubbornly held at a higher posi-
ition and consumers reluctant to ad-
vance bids for finished products, it vas
inevitable that cost of production
must come down. Hence the cut in
wages at Fall River mills was not un-'
expected. Inquiries for cotton goods
are numerous, but buyers and sellers
cannot agree as to prices and little new
business is. closed.
Failures this week numbered 2S2
against 241 last year.

Dispensary VS.. Railroads.

Columbia, Nov. l2.-Some weeks
ago the internal revenue authorities
here seized carload of whiskey ship
ped from North Carolina to blind
tiger dealer here. The tax on the
whiskey had not been paid and it was
con6scated. The car, which belonged
to the Southern, was also seized by
the authorities because transporting
such liquor is contrary to law. After
some negotiations the Southern got its
car back, according to a railroad man
here. It is said that neither the
Southern nor any other railroad will
transport such liquor in future, and
they will be careful to see that no such
shipments are received. The road
evidently un5ntentionally violated the
law heretofore. Carrying out their in
tention not to haul such freight will
likely prove a serious Inconvenience
to those who have been dealing more
or less I'M 8 whosesale way in contra
