longs. Two reports which differ
somewhat have been furnished the
paper. One is to the effect that J.
Dreyfus, the popular drummer, be-
coming envious of the ease with
which Ike lowell has held the High
Five championship of the High
Five Club, put up this fine hat as a
premium for the one who might
beat Mr.. lowell three games of
High Five The contest resulted in
Mr.. Dreyfus winning the first three
games, but Mr.. Towel won the
next four straight, and so still
claims to be the champion.
The other report, which was writ
ten for THE HERALD, is as follows:
AT meeting of the High Five
Club at the Miller Hotel last night,
a beautiful work of art, in the shape
OF hat, by local artist, was pre-
scented to Captain Ike lowell, the
erstwhile champion. The presenta-
ton was made by Mr.. J. Dreyfus,
one OF the members, who, after
making some complimentary re-
marks to the recipient, stated that
the object was to warn the cham
pion that, though he held the high
distinction of being a world-Leater
in his line, he must not be too con-
fident of holding permanently the
position he had attained; that his
lax methods of late had eliminated |
in meeting of the members in ex-
ecutive session, to devise means to
stir up in his soul desire to main
tain the honor and dignity confer
red upon him by his associates, it
being resolved that the hat should
be presented to him with the request
that it be worn at all future seances
of the club"
The poet laureate of the club also
contributed the following beautiful
and touching pome on the same oc-
casiOn:
The greatest honors are fleeing,
Tho lasting they seemingly be,
For such as conferred at last meeting
Have no foundation you see.
For only one week was the honor held,
By the lowell that wiped up the crowd,
When the Bells sonorous tolling was
knelled
The lamentations were long and loud
The mantle fell from his shoulder,
Like meteor dropped from the sky,
And. no more championship-holder,
The tears flowed down from each eye.
a new hero has come to the rescue
One not unknown to fame
Who throws his cap in the arena.
With promise to fight and die game
Another poetical contribution
which is from the clubs Junior
poet laureate" is as follows:

northern hordes;
Napoleon too wore his, won with blood |
and swords;
But unlike both our hero, with brave
and powerful hand.
And kindness and dexterity, wins both
hearts and laurels on the Rio

Cotton Crop Report for June.

The New Orleans Times Demo
crat of the 29th contained its re-
port of the progress of the cotton
crop for the month of June. The
data WAS obtained from reports
forwarded by 100 special cores
pondents, covering the entire cot
ton growing belt. from which the
Times Democrat tabulated the fol
lowing summary:
THE reports of the Times Dem
ocrat 9 correspondents indicate
that the condition of the cotton
crop has undergone no apprecia-
BILE change during the month of
June. Distinct improvement in
some sections has been contravail
ed by equally distinct deteriora-
ton IN others.
Some portion, if not all, of the
tritiing increase of acreage has
been lost, through the backward
ness of the season aud the conse-
quent difficulty of cultivation.

Chicago Minister Defends Mob

Special to New Orleans Times Democrat.
Chicago. June Is. II am no ad-
vocate of lynching or of mob law,
but would rather see community
wrought to the highest pitch over
crimes that would seem impossible
this side of hell than to remain
apathetic," was the startling dec
laration of Rev. DR.. w A. Bartlett
at the First Congregational church
today in prelude on "Lynching
From Northern Point of View. ;"
DIR. Bartlett among other things,
said:
Il have seen so many sermons,
editorials and resolutions denounc-
ing Iynching and mob law that one
gets the impression that the citi-
zens who hang or burn the de-
stroyer of life, home and all that
is held sacred by womanhood, are
the real offenders rather than the
monster whom they destroy.
I'VE seem to be absorbed with
the majesty of this vague term
Law that the notion appears TO
prevail that the real criminals are
those who do not wait for legal
processes, and the violator of wo-
manhood as the abused party. The
mere murder is little to be dreaded
in comparison with that invasion
which brings not only death, but
stain and dishonor The family
bears the scars for generations.
The community is soiled and
shocked A devouring wild beast
would be "a welcome friend com
pared to such a tiend in human
form.
I'VE shudder at the torture of
the criminal who is burned, but
apparently forget to shudder for
the innocent girl, whose mental
and spiritual agony is tenfold
greater than that of the fire. This
is not race problem except so far
as one race are the offenders.
The indignant uprising of a
community. and some of the best
men in it, to avenge wrong OF
such awful magnitude may be
technically lawless, but the spirit
which causes the uprising Is the
reflection of higher civilization.
These are crimes so dreadful that
the pure and the chivalrous and
the strong find it welInigh impos-
sible To endure the thought that
such a degenerate should pollute
the earth by his presence. 1t is
easy to theorize about the anarchy
OF mob law, but the same hand
which penned the calm editorial
might be the first to grasp the
torch if il was mother. wife or
daughter who was the victim.
Il say that when you look at a
lynching from another viewpoint
it is simply the bursting forth of
an Indignation and loathing that
will not be checked. In the Old
Testament days they made short
work of such an offender.
But sermons, editorials and res
olutions will not cure these evils.
One sure cure for lynching is for
these lustful beasts to stop their
crimes. Beneath all this is evil
IDENTIFY lack of confidence in the
l.w itself. 1t is anarchy of the
criminal class aided by lax legal
processes. There comes time
when men will not bear it, Lynch
