New York, Sept. ga decided
change came over to-day's stock mar
ket. In place of the recent heavy liqui-
dations and further shrinkage of values
there was buying in large volumes ap-
parently by the leading financial inter
ests. though it was more than likely
that a goodly part of the days pur-
chases were really in the nature of sup

observe the changed conditions, and
covered very extensively, in fact, their
attitude help in no small degree to sus-
tain the LIST, which was at top prices
at the close.
Conditions at the outset were not en-
couraging. The cables reported a stu
alton bordering on decentralization in
London, where consols had fallen to
another low record, with heavy declines
in the leading Americans, notably the
steel stocks. Initial transactions in this
market reflected the tone of that in
London, but after the first few minutes
the market reversed it's course under
the lead of Pennsylvania, which was
the center of attraction all day.
That stock was openly bought by in
terests that represent the road finan-
cially and on sales of more than $4,000
shares made a net gain of 81 points.
The strength of this stock was the more
noteworthy in view of the previous
days fierce drive against it.
Other active and strong stocks includ-
ed Union Pacific, Atchison, st. Paul,
Erie, Reading and United States Steel
preferred, all of which gained points
or more. Some of the specialties made
greater advances, but the bulk of the
days operations was limited to the is
sues named.
A story went the rounds during the
day that the leading financial interests
had agreed to protect the market by
united action. The story was denied
in authoritative quarters.

WEEKLY CROP REPORT.
Corn and Tobacco in Good shape,
but Cotton Not So Good.

but Cotton Not So Good.
Washington, Sept. 29.-The Weather
Bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions says
The principal corn states have ex-
perienced weather conditions exception
ally favorable for maturing late corn,
and while frosts have been quite gem
eral in the central and eastern portions
of the corn belt, no material damage is
indicated.
With generally seasonable tempera-
lures and practically no rain over near
ly the entire cotton belt, cotton has
opened rapidly and picking has been
actively carried on, large part of the
crop having been gathered Good nights
and the general prevalence of drought
in the central and western districts
have been detrimental and rust and
shedding continue to be extensively re-
ported, although rust is somewhat less
prevalent in Georgia On the whole the
crop has suffered deterioration, espec-
tally in the central and western por
tions OF the belt Little or no top crop
is promised. In Texas the plant has
almost entirely ceased frutt1ng, and in
some central counties is dying. In
North Carolina the conditions have fav-
ored the maturity of late cotton. In
South Carolina premature opening has
been checked (the weather map of Sept.
29 shows that good showers fell over
a large part of the drought region of
Texas and in Oklahoma during the past
twenty-four hours.
Some tobacco remains to be cut in
Kentucky and Tennessee, where the
late planted has suffered much from
drought, but as a whole the crop is
practically housed.

Carried Hat for Long Time.
Macon (Mo.) Correspondence PhiIadel-
phia Press.

Macon (Mo.) Correspondence Philadel-
phia Press.
There is a man in this town who
hasn't worn a hat for twenty-five
years. He doesn't live out at the asy-
lum either William Pierson Beach
was born in Newark, N. j.. April 10.
1910. He made his way west in 1856
by selling books along the route, and
to-day he is one of the prominent law
yers OF the county, and is up to his
eyes" in business. But he won't wear
a hat.
To escape criticism for exaggerated
economy he always carries in his hand
wherever he goes the latest thing in
mems headwear; but it never under
any circumstances gets on his head.
Two men made a wager on Mr..
Beach's eccentricity one day. One bet
he could create a situation that would
cause Mr.. Beach to put his hat where
it belonged for a moment. The other
bet he couldn't. The challenger ap-
preached Mr.. Beach with both hands
extended, inviting double shake. Mr..
Beach dropped his hat on the sidewalk
and greeted the challenger in the same
manner that the welcome was proffer-
ed.
If it's raining or showing Mr.. Beach
defers enough to conventionality to
carry an umbrella. But no blizzard
has been severe enough to make him
cover his head.
His reason for not wearing hat
is that he thinks thereby he assures
the retention of his hair. At So his
hair is as strong and abundant as it
ever was.
"It may look odd to see a man
trampIng through crowds always with
out a hat" he said recently. but TIL
leave it to any person of common sense
whether it's as odd as a baldheaded
man."

THE ORIGIN OF COFFEE.
A DerVish Discovered Uses of the
Plant, and Berry Centuries Ago.


From the Philadelphia Record.
AS to the history Of coffee, says Sue
cess, the legend runs that it was first
found growing wild in Arabia. Hadji
Omar, a dervish, discovered it in 1885,
617 years ago. He was dying of hum
ger in the wilderness, when, finding
some small, round berries, he tried to
eat them, but they were bitter. He
tried roasting them, and these he fin
ally stepped in some water held in the
hollow of his hand, and found the de-
cCction as refreshing as if he had par
taken of solid food. He hurried back
to Mocha, from which he had been
banished, and. inviting the wise men
to oartake in his discovery, thev were
so we'll pleased with 1t that they made
him a saint.
The story Is told that coffee was in
troduced into the West Indies in 1923
by Chirac. a French physician. who
gave Norman gentleman by the
name of De ClieuX, a captain of in
fantry, on his way to Martinique,
single plant. The sea voyage was a
stormy one, the vessel was driven out
of her course and drinking water be-
came so scarce that 1t was distributed
in rations. De Clieux, with an affection
of his coffee plant, divided his portion
of water with it and succeeded in
bringing it to Martinique, although
weak, not in a hopeless condition.
There he planted 1t in his garden,
protected it with a fence of thorns and
watched it daily until the end of the
year, when he gathered two pounds of
coffee, which he distributed among the
inhabitants of the island to be planted
by them. From Martinique coffee trees
in turn were sent to Santo Domingo,
Guadalupe and other neighboring is
lands.
The coffee tree is an evergreen
shrub, growing in its natural state to
a hight of IA to Is feet. 1t is usually
kept trimmed however, for conven-
fence in picking the berries, which
grow along the branches close to the
leaves and resemble in shape and col
or ordinary cherries. The tree cannot
be grown above the frost line, neither
can it be successfully grown in the
tropics The most successful climate
for production is that found at an al
titude of about 1000 feet Anything
much above this is in danger Of frost,
which is fatal to the tree, and when
coffee is grown much below this 1t re-
ouires artificial shade, which material
ly increases the cost of pl oduction and
does not produce as marketable berries.
It is owing to this particular require
ment that coffee has never been sue
cessfully produced in the United
States.

HIS WEIGHT IN GOLD.
What an Indian Maharajah Gives
Away Every Year, Accord
ing to Custom.

The maharajah of Travancore Is an
East Indian prince, who dresses in silks
and muslins and covers himself with
ropes OF pearls and ornaments Of dia-
monds. He has lakes of rupees and stores
of precious stones, as we'll as elephants
and palaces and numerous wives. And
once a year the maharajah becomes
generous. He is not generous in an i'm
pulsive manner, after the style of the
tional way, following custom which has
been handed down to Inn by his ances-
tore from time immemorial, says Lon
don exchange.
The maharajah has just celebrated
hs annual charity with unusual splen-
government bought great quantities Of
pure gold, the greater part of which was
converted into coin. On the suspicious
day the prince weat in great state to the
principal temple, and there, with solemn
Hindoo rites, presented an elephant to
the priests of Brahma In the temple
a great pair of balances had been set up,
anu uCO one VI Tie SCdISS luc 11dudI
stepped. His sword and shield were
then handed him, and into the other
scale was shoveled the newly minted
coin prepared for the occasion. The first
and second princes shoveled in the gold
and the priests standing about chanted
Vedic hymns. AS the weight of gold
overbalanced the weight of the mahara-
jah and he rose gradually from the floor
the artillery stationed outside fired a
salute, proclaiming to the principally
that the measure Of his highness' philan-
thropy was full. Then, with elaborate
ceremony. the maharajah was escorted
back to his palace and the gold was dis
tributed among $4,000 Brahmins previ-
ously selected.
Philanthropy will now take another
IL months sleep in Travancore.

WHEN TROOPS FIRE ON CROWD.
Startling Tran $ for m atiOn That Greets
the Eye When the Smoke
Clears Away.

II haven't seen in print, as far as the
crowd is concerned, just what happened
after the troops fired on it, in Evansville,
but" said reminiscent man, according
to the New York Sun, that incident
brings to my mind the most remarkable
transformation scene ever saw, after
the firing of troops on a crowd on an
other occasion.
"A marching civilian body was pro-
ceeding along the center Of city street,
with, for its protection, line of soldiers
marching on each side of it, while the
sidewalks were packed whit accompany
ing, antagonistic crowds of people A
pistol shot or two were fired, somebody
on housetop threw something that hit
one of the soldiers, the com bined march
Ing column in the street halted, and the
troops on the left of this combined COL
umn fronted and fired volley into the
walk on that side
"a moment later, when the smoke had
lifted SO that you could see, there wasn't
any crowd on the walk at all; there
wasn't anybody there; there was moth
ing there, except that here and there in
the otherwise empty expanse lay the
body of dead man or of a man wounded,
lying prone upon the sidewalk, at one
angle or another to the line of the curb.
The crowd which moment before had
filled the sidewalk had disappeared as
completely as though it had never been
there.
81 suppose that is what must have hap
pened at Evansville. I guess that Is
what always happens when troops fire
into a crowd"

population of North Schleswig are very
quiet and peaceable. AS an official Prus-

there is in the whole German empire no
single province In which so many SEN
fences are passed by the Y criminal
Judges as in north Schleswig. There
were only half the Prussian average OF
these cases and cases of robbery with
murder and murderous assault. These
favorable crime statistics are due princi
pally to the good bringing up and inteln-

RebukinE a Host,

While in Canada lord and lady Lans-
downe pleased the Canadian people by
their friendly and unassuming man
ners, which were in marked contrast
to those of former governors-genera
and their wives. 1t is related that at
a garrison ball at Halifax the colonel
of the regiment that was giving the
dance came up to Lady Lansdowne
and said: Lady Lansdowne, won't
you give me a dance, please? I'm
tired Of dancing with these silly little
colonial girls. They have no style.
believe I'm engaged to one of them
for the next dance, but you might be
kind enough to rescue me-" Lady
Lansdowne replied, in tones loud
enough for everybody to hear, that the
colonel was unfit to associate with any
decent people, colonial or otherwise,
and concluded: eff this is the way you
treat your guests, will relieve you of
the presence of one of them at once"
Then she ordered her carriage andpleft
the ball.
