A Lucky Poker Player.

"One of the most remarkable cases of luck I ever saw occurred in a big poker game the other day" said a man around the morning and two or three of the party were occasionally seen to nod They were playing table stakes and there was more than $2,00O on the board. A gentleman who had been playing in hard luck picked up his hand and saw he had an ace full pat. He opened the pot for S2O and smiled knowingly. An elderly man across the table who was nearly asleep aroused himseir enough to glance at his hand Without comment he raised the pot $50, thinking that he had only called In his half sleep he had forgotten the value of the chips and showed in his stack of reds instead of whites The ace full man raised him $50 and the sleepy man decided he would look at his hand.
 He had two pair, kings and jacks, but as his eyes were still dimmed he thought S50 This time the ace full man stood the bet and cards were drawn. The sleepy man discovered his awful mistake, but decided to make the best of 1t and drew three cards to his jacks. He caught the other two and really had what he had at first imagined. He won something like S60O on the hand That peculiar play and the successful draw broke up the game"

Cotton Crop Reports.

The government says the cotton acreage has been expanded to the ex- tent of 1,027,000 acres, while the Finan- ciai Chronicle says the increase is l. 6s5,415 acres. The latter says the Ala bama cotton fields contain 3,911,412 acres, as against 3,621,67S acres last year, and this is probably as good an estimate as can be made at this season of the year.
 The figures of condition put out by the department at Washington, I'll, need not alarm any one. It means very little. It means that the plant is now small and late, but it does not mean that, given normal weather con ditions, 1t will not produce well next fall The departments figures refer to the growth of the plant above the sur face taking no account of the famous tap root, which is the basis of it's growth and fruiting later on.
 
 The mills seem to be satisfied that the supply of cotton hereafter will not be over-abrndant, and that prices will not soon be low, and lhey are advanc- ing the prices of goods to correspond with the present prices of cotton. This will render the sale of cotton at fair prices next fall much more feasible, unless prices<Asr Carried so high that they limit consumption, which is not probable.
 The Egyptian crop will be gradually increased no doubt although the As souan district is well adapted to cane growing, as sugar Is as a rule more profitable product than cotton. In ln- dia no more than a normal crop is ex- pected. Its vast population must be fed, and when this is done there is not much soil or energy left to be given to cotton growing. The commercial crop will this year as heretofore be grown in lis country, and the better prob ability now is that the American crop will not be large enough to cut the price in october below nine cents.

Governor leIks Upon Georqla.

Governor Jelks covers the ground when he endorses, in the first place, every effort that the federal court is making to uncover peonage in this state. This work should have been done by the state courts, but the latter lack trained detective force, and 1t Is perhaps well that the work has fallen upon the federal authorities. Governor Jelks and the convict inspectors thor oughly understand the situation, and they would have taken hold of the evil if the federal authorities had not an ticipated them.
 The evil covers both Georgia and Mississippi as well, and the Vicksburg Herald urges the federal authorities in it's state to begin the work of investiga- tion there. It says that the treatment of negro county prisoners in It's state by unprincipled and cruel lessees and through subservient and. venal justices of the peace has shamed our white supremacy"
 Governor Jelks has heretofore asked the legislature to place county convicts under the supervision and practical control of the state board of convict inspectors and he also wants limita- tions imposed upon justices of the peace. While regretting that the peon- age trouble has not come up in the state courts, yet it Is plain he will be gratified if the present exposure lead to reforms in the state law that will prevent a combination including a jus tice of the peace from committing to a long term of hard labor and imprison- ment a negro who, for example, has stolen chicken or neglected to pay small debt. "The abuses under the present system," says Governor Jelks, should be rendered impossible. This involves a change in the fee bill, a change in .ne powers of justices of the peace, and a change In the manner of letting county convicts. All these changes are nee lful, and all should be made at the September session, for the state cannot afford to rest under peon- age charges four year longer.

AssaI!Ina DemooratIc leaders.

The Montgomery Advertiser, in its mad haste to hand over to Grover Cleveland the Alabama delegation, un- necessarily goes out of it's way to slan- der the present leader of the demo- crats in the senate, Arthur Pue Cor man. It exploits the report that he manipulated the sugar schedule of the Wilson tariff in order to speculate in that article. and it copies from the re- publican Baltimore Herald charges that he was elected senator by frauds and the free use o1 money. If the Cleve- land campaign in Alabama demands the blackening of the trusted leaders of the party, then the less we have of 1t the better
 The Advertiser of course knows all about it. It says MT. German did not 1trive in 1894 to amend the Wilson bill so that |. would not create a deficiency. The present chairman of the demo- cratic national committee, who was in the senate at the time, says he did so strive, and that he did so although he knew his motives would be miscon- strued The editor or the Advertiser was not a member of the seante in 1894, and we have requested it to pro- cure Senator Morgan's evidence as to this matter, ut il snubs him alto gether, chasing him among artistic floppers. MT. Bankhead is also put down as an artistic Hopper. Would it not be better in the Advertiser to hear them before dlsmlssing them alto gether. They may know thing or two about congress and what took place in it in 1894. Let the esteemed Advertiser slacken its Cleveland cam paign at least to the extent that re- quires it to blacken with charges a senator whom all other democrats trust, implicitly, and to repudiate home leaders that all have confidence in.
 True, it is kind ana considerate in the Advertiser to say that 1t does not now insist that 'Mr. Cleveland must be nominated next year" It does say he can get more votes than any one else, although he is third-termer, ana is ha .od by all union labor, and l-e bolted the d ,mocratic party to all intents anu purposes in 1896 and 190O The last-named fact naturally endears him, howevegs,to the Advertiser, but t should not let it's high regard for the nigh boltes of Princetcl lead it into the habit of defaming the trusted and actual leaders of the party both at home and in Washington.

THE LOVE OF A DOG.

From the Kansas City World.
 When every other friend deserted John Foley of New York his dog stayed
 Foley was a dry goods expert with salary of $150OO year, but whisky got the better of him and sent him on the downward way He got so low that his friends would no longer recognize him.
 A single heart under a shaggy coat beat true for Foley. That was his dog Boko.
 Foley lay In the gutter the other day and the little dog sat on his chest. He parked valiantly when anyone came near and when they came too near he snap ped at them viciously When the police came with the patrol wagon they had to fight the dog off. Then he ran behind the wagon all the way to the police sta tion.
 When Foley was carried into cell Boko literally cried to be allowed to go with him. The pitiful cry went to the heart of the sergeant and the dog was permitted to spend the night In the cell with his master.
 Next morning with grave dignity he stood before the magistrate ready to take his share the punishment.
 "Go home" said the judge to Foley, "and learn lesson of patience, courage and love from your friend"
 Patience courage and love.
 When God wanted to Illustrate those virtues He made the dog.
 He intended no doubt that man should embody all these traits, but man has ut terly failed There must be some ex- pression of them. So the dog was an afterthought.
 Raise your hand and strike a human being who loves you and love will dis appear Beat your dog and he will still adore you. Kill him and he will die lick ing your hand.
 No one is friendless who has oog for his friend,

Canal Prospects.

The Colombian congress Is to meet on June 20, or Saturday of next week, and we will soon know what it pro poses to do in relation to the canal treaty. There are many conflicting re- ports over it's coming action, and no one can judge what will be done in such a congress until it meets. There is no closer corporation than the Co- lCmbian government, and no news is permitted to leaK out that Is not fully censored.
 It is said the plan of the Colombians Is to keep the treaty hung up until a the French company will expire, and Colombia will then come into poses sion of the ditch at Panama and all that has been accomplished there She will then demand S40,0U0,O00 for her rights, instead of s10,0o0,OO0 chiefly on the ground that she needs that much money in her present bankrupt condi- ton
 If the administration lives up to the spirit of the canal legislation of the last congress, it will notify Colombia that she is expected within a reason able time--a month say-to ratify or reject the treaty. To keep 1t hung up until the fall of 1904 would be a clear violation of the will of congress, which directed the President to enter into a bargain with Costa Rica and Nicaragua il he found Colombia unwilling to act. To be held up by such a government az that of Colombia is more than this be given thirty days from July 20 to act in, and if she does not accept the treaty in that time, then this country should at once enter into negotiations elsewhere. Both Costa Rica and Mic Aragua are ready and willing, and we can secure concessions from them on reasonable terms under which we can build a waterway on the basis of abso- lute control. instead of the mixed con trol which was woven into the Hay Herran treaty. The nation that ex- pends two hundred millions on water way should not be asked to accept any

Summer opera is Wanted

.'I think summer opera company would prove quite successful at the Bijou thea tre," said good patron of theatres last night. Personally. I would like to go down there two or three times a week and witness a good comic opera company. also know number of other people who would like to spend the evenings there.
 "The company should have about twen- ty girls with good voices, and half a dozen or more principals who can act as well as sing. Several of the people whose names have been mentioned are well known here and would draw good crowds
 q understand that several changes will be made in the house if company is put in. Besides the twenty electric fans in the lower part of the house, there will probably be a large suction fan in the house making several thousand revolu- tions a minute"
