NO FIELD AGENT YET
ELECTION OF SUCCESSOR TO J. B
 GRAHAM DEFERRED.
Edgar Gardner Murphy Says the { Southern Education Board Will
 Take No ImmediaAe Action. Tribute to Graham.

Advices recently received in this city from Mir. Edgar Gardner Murphy, Ex- ecutive Secretary of the Southern Educa- tion Board, indicate that the Board is not likely to elect another Field Agent for Alabama in the immediate future.
 It is barely possible that a successor to MT. Graham may be chosen about January 1st, but an election even then is not probable The sutamer meeting of the Board will take place early in August at the country home of Mir. George Foster Peabody at Lake George, N. Y. Mir. Murphy will be present It Is likely that there may be inaugurated in the near fu- ture cooperative Board in Alabama, representing a considerable number of the leading men of the State who are in- terested in educational mattrs.
 The Board has felt keenly the tragic death of MT. Graham. Mir. Murphy writes with the deepest appreciation of MT. Gra- hams noble and effective service in the cause of education. Says he: "The death of MT. Graham has removed one of the noblest and one of the strongest forces in our section of our country. As the Chairman of the Committee on Educa- ton in the recent Constitutional Conven- tion. he gave signal evidence of wise and courageous leadership, combined with nt- ter loyalty to Alabama and intense de- votion to every interest of the South. Uur people trusted him and loved him. All who heard his report from Alabama at the recent great conference at Richmond were proud of him. A year or two more would have brought to him a national reputation. for he had those qualities which command the confidence and en- thusiasm of all men everywhere. But mourn him not merely as a representa- tive of our Board, but as friend whom loved and honored."

 Regarding Moukden and Ta-Tung- -Kao Mir. Barrett says that their accessibility under the head of open ports will mean much more in a few years than now, and in conclusion he said:
 T have only to add that in my opin- ion the development of American trade with Asia, and especially North China and Manchuria, is only in it's, infancy. That may not be regarded as too opti- misitc or over-enthusiastic, I take pleas- ure in calling attention to the fact that all the prophecies as to the growth of our commerce on the Pacific which I made seven or eight years ago, have been more than realized. Since especially was se- ,verely criticized by many papers through out the United States for my, earnest ap- peals to American manufacturers and ox- porters to improve their trade opportuni- ties in the Orient, and was classed as inn practical and a dreamer, hope I may now be entitled to some credit as a judge of perhaps, the greatest field we have for material exploitation

JEwsHARP DOWNS MosQU1Tos.
So Declares MT. Flaherty, But the
 Tune Played Must Be "The Ar kansaw Traveller"
New York Times.

New York Times.
 Robert Flaherty. a real estate dealer, with offices at 17 Battery Park, is an en- thusiast on the subject of the extermina- tion of mosquitoes. and declares that if his advice is followed the culex is to become extinct to the inspiring tune of "The Ar kansaw Traveller" played on the jews harp.
 MT. Flaherty recently has been intro ducing his friends to the charms of the jewsharp. and instructing them how to play the celebrated air. He says that those who have learned have reported to him that there Is no doubt about the ef- ficacy of the combination. When seen yes- terday at his office. Mir. Flaherty said: T am not scientific man and not much of a musician. but it is appropriate to the discussion going on in the news papers about the fatal effect of music on mosquitoes to assert that. though an alto horn played by an amateur or the rapid vibrations of tubing forks may do some good, the best instrument is the jews harp, especially when it is used to play The Arkansaw Traveller This is no new thing. and it is surprising that it Is not more generally known. I suppose that this is due to the fact that the harp Is almost obsolete. and the old air has been forgotten in the rag-time of a later generation.
 Tn 1866 I was serving as a first ser geant in the Twentieth United States h. fantry We were in camp for while at Cado Lake, near Jefferson Texas where we suffered terribly with the mosquitoes It was almost impossible to sleep because of their numbers and their fierce biting

The Bravery of a Woman.

 How brave is a woman?

How brave is a woman? That depends on circumstances It is
 woman's nature to be afraid of little

 when she Is alone at night. Almost every
 woman will say, I'm a terrible coward '' That is only true to a very limited ex-
 tent. When the time for bravery comes the grandness of woman's unselfish courage is apparent. And when love

 ''One night after taps. while I was fighting for my life with horde of mos- quitoes, heard music coming from the tent of Skates It was my duty to stor this. went to his tent and found him playing on a jewsharp. He told me he was doing it to drive away the mosqui- tos. I thought they had driven him mad and let him alone, with a warning.
 "He kept up his tune of The Arkan- saw Traveller and had to go back to force him to stop. He showed me that there was not a mosquito in his tent, ex- cept few dead ones. I invited him into my tent to play and there was the same result. He did the same thing for other men in the camp. The officers raised a row. but when they found what was up they had Skates play for them.
 With the first pay day every man bought a jewsharp and Skates became instructor to the officers as we'll as the men. After taps, and occasionally later on, there would be wild choruses in the tents. against all discipline, but necessary for the health of the officers and men.
 After being mustered out l saw noth- ing of Skates for a great many years. One day I found him in Fulton Market, where he had gained the title of Skates, the champion Jewsharp player of Amer ica.'

TRADE IN TH6 FAR EAAI
HARRIET TALKS OF OPENING OF
 1rANCHURIAN PORTS.
Country Opened to Trade Through the NEorts.c Secretary Hay Offers the Best Market for
 Exports.

Baltimore, July A.--fSpecial.) )-The Man. ufactmers' Record publishes this week an interview, in regard to the sisnificance of the opening of the new Manchurian ports, with John Barrett, comnnfssfoner general of Asia of the Louisiana Purchase Ex- posltion. Mr. Barrett. who has recently been apppointed United States Minister to Argentine, was formerly United States Minister to Siam, and while in Asia made q careful study of the poliucal and com mercial conditions of China. He was in Manchuria in 1894, again in 1898, and last year made another visit there as the rep fesentative of the St. Louis Worlds Fair. Tn his statement which he made at St Louis at the special request of the Man. ufacturers' Record, MT. Barrett said:
 "The importance of the enlarged com mercial opening of Manchuria, through the recent negotiations of Secretary Hay. cannot be overestimated. especially in its bearing upon the market for the manu- Ractured cotton goods of the South. While, however, the business interests of the Southern States might first seem to reap the chief beneflt, Manchuria is sure Co provide rapidly developing market for all kinds of American manufactured pro- ducts, principally those made in the Eastern and Central Western States. It ls my belief, after visiting carefully near ly every section of China several differ- ent times during the last ten years that Northern China and Manchuria will al- ways offer the best general market for American export. It is the land of the future. It is the one portion of China where material progress and the increase of population will be more noteworthy than in any other portion of the Elm pire."
 Mir. Barrett gave a sketch of climatic and soil conditions of Manchurfa and of It's valuable possibilities. and said:
 ''The present population of Manchuria eonservativeiy estimated is approximately B,o0o, 900. It is not thickly settled like most of the provinces of China proper Wher- ever the traveller goes through Manchuria he is impressed with the opportunities for the growth of cities and towns. the improvement of the land and a general in- crease of population. The remarkable pro- gress that this section has experienced during the last five years gives some idea of what will come in the future. There are cities of 2s,o0O population now where fin 1883 there were small villages. There is no contradicting the fact that the con-

Dun's Trade Review.

New York, July AR. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review tomorrow will say:
 The tenor of despatches from nearly every section of the country indicates that there is less than the customary mid summer dullness in business and collec- tions are more promptly met thaln usual. large proportion of the unions have signed a working agreement with the em- ployers in the building trades of this city and fully one-half the members have re- turned to work. Earnings of railroads reported for July exceed last years by 12.9 per cent and those of 1901 by PAP per cent Farm work still retards rail dis tribution of merchandise in Western sec tions. Foreign trade at this port for the past week shows a gain of g, 2,569 ,20a in value of imports as compared with the same week last year while exports de- creased $5O2,O22 Good news as to the progress being made toward a settlement of labor disputes was neutraliZed by the decline in securities insofar as the iron and steel industry is concerned. There were many indications that the interrup- tions from strikes would be less frequent in the immediate future and there was a general disposition to fully sustain prices. But the heavy liauidation and new low record prices for steel issues had much influence on conditions in the, actual busi ness. Nearly half million tons of steel rails have been ordered for next years delivery and other heavy steel shares are attracting close attention. The trade will benefit by the greater stability of prices, secured through the revival of the billet pool. Bessemer has steadied, bringing out new orders, but there are still evil dences of weakness in other classes of pig iron. General resumption of structural work in New York is the most important element in the stee. industry at present.
 Footwear factories have much work in sight and shipments continue to eclipse all earlier records. Quotations are fully sustained.
 Thus far there Is no reflection of this activity in the leather market.
 Buyers of woolens are still able to delay placing any large amount of business with the cotton mills and there are daily additions to tho number of idle spindes as the supply of raw material gives out. Domestic mills are steadily curtailing pro- duction of cotton goods and inflated prices are only made possible by speculative selling.
 Failures this week numbered l91 in the Cnited States against POS year ago and 19 in Canada compared with r last year.

BoRELLI COMET
May Be Seen in the Immediate Vicin-
 ity of the Great Dipper. Ithaca IN VI Special to New York

ity of the Great Dipper.
 Ithaca, (N. Y) Special to New York
 The movements of the Borelli comet are being nightly watched with considerable interest in this city by Garrett P. Ser Viss, a noted writer on astronomical sub jects MT. Serviss said tonight that the comet is brightening every night as 1t travels nearer the sun, although the ef- feet of this brightening is offset partly by its increased distance from the earth. It will continue as at present, however, and will gradually grow more interesting until it reaches its perihelion. the point of nearest approach to the sun, on August 21. Mir. Serviss further said:
 ''The comet may be seen with the un- aided eye and may be readily located be- being hazy and indefinite in outline or be- cause 1t does not twinkle.
 Tt may be better seen, however. by the aid of an opera glass or a strong field glass. With either of these a small portion of the tail is visible. A small conical shaped mass extends from the head and tapers off for distance of some three degrees. I am of the opinion that the tail is not forked.
 "The principal difficulty in pointing out It's position in the sky arises from its rapid motion. On Thursday night, how ever between the hours of and 10 o'clock. it may be seen in the immediate vicinity of the Great Dipper, toward which it is now travelling.
 whether the comet will go between the earth and the sun is not yet certain, in contact with the earth. It Is compara- lively small. the head being about five thousand miles in diameter and the tail perhaps 100000 miles long.
