Aspects of the Cotton Boom.

"Let Prof. Langley make his
ship of cotton" suggests the
Boston Transcript, elf he really
wants it to go up" The spec.
tacular rise of cotton to IL 1-2
cents a pound, with the predic.
ton by experts that it will con-
tinue to hold a high, perhaps a
higher, figure, has produced a
situation that is fixing the at,
tention of the commercial world.
In the cotton states the high
price is bringing an era of pros
perity in the mill districts it is
bringing time of want. "It
is estimated that the planters of
the south will receive 5000, ,000,-
600 more for their cotton crop
this year than last year." says
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. "There
is no other part OF the country
which is so prosperous, or in
which the business outlook rests
upon a more substantial foun-
dation," declares the New York
Sun; and the New Orleans
Times-Democrat rejoices that,
as a result, Glands will appre
ciate, school terms will be long
er, the population will be better
housed and fed, economic prob
lens will be less battling, the
churches will lean on stronger
arms" From the mill districts,
however, comes a different story.
cit means a terrible calamity
for Lancashire" says a British
dispatch. "I believe the con-
dition confronting us today is
the worst in % years, :" says one
manufacturer; and Mr.. Sully,
the bull leader, predicts that
"there will be a shortage this
season sufficient to keep closed
considerable percentage of the
mills of the world" " Says the
BostonTranscript, which is pub,
lished in the center of the New
England cotton mill region:
"Dlstress to IA greater or less
extent in the mill centers seems
unavoidable. The TRANSCRIPTS
recent news reports on this sub
ject have shown the impossibility
of cotton mills running at a profit,
owing to the disparity between
the current prices of raw mate
rial and finished product. The
recent quite general reduction in
wages failed to put them on a
level basis even with IL cent
cotton. With cotton at a higher
price, which seems assured, the
situation is aggravated. North
ern mills generally have much
less than seasons supply of
cotton in stock. Many are sup
piled for only six to eight weeks
or less. Exporters have been the
principal buyers of cotton since
the season opened, and the bulk
of the cotton so far marketed has
gone abroad. The failure of
their statistical prophets last sea
son and the months of wretched-
ness in the Lancashire district
which followed the subsequent
shutdown OF the mills taught the
English spinner a lesson, and he
has stocked up so far as possible
with raw material at below IL
cents pound. He ought to /,
in much better shape at presen
than his American compeer, who
must continue his recent hand to
mouth policy. ."-Literary Digest

cartridges was 2 terrible lesson to England, and taught her so we'll the danger of running counter to native prejudice that until the new rupee came out the other day it was thought the lesson was not forgotten. That the imperial crown is on the rupee does not alter the case in the minds of h. dia's millions. It is stationed on the reverse of the coin, and that does not count. The crown should be on King Edwards head, to save him from in- decenc-.
 Again, million of Hindus shave their heads, and the badness of the king will be taken in the bazars-in fact is taken as an evidence that the king is shaved head who goes about without his turban. This complicates and makes him, appear more indecent. It is not of course, probable that the new coin will cause a popular outbreak but in that strange land of India no one knows what such a little thing may lead to.
 In a land where fakirs throw rope into the circumambient air and then climb up the rope and disappear; where the mahatmas roam about unbridled, where even Madam Blavatsky was able to materialize teacup at an afternoon picnic. and where one of the bloodiest wars in history was caused by the use of greased cartridges, who can tell what will happen? From Calcutta to Pes hawer. and from Madras to Bombay all India is disturbed by the bald and un- crowned king on the rupee. The native is simple child of nature who will stand many things, but bald and bareheaded emperor is a little to much.
 The Dunks walla will stand fiogging, but he rebels at the new rupee. You can tan the hide of Dunga Din with im- munity, but don't ask him to obey a king who appears uncovered in public or he is apt to draw his knife-New York Press.

KING EDWARDS BALD HEAD.
New Coin in India and Trouble It is
 Causing.

New Coin in India and Trouble It Is
 Causing.
 King Edwards bald head is seriously threatening the stability of British rule in India. It seems that on the new rupee, just issued by the Indian mint. the profile burst of the king appears bald and uncrowned. Therefore native feeling is stirred to it's profoundest depths, and the effigy of royalty has been brought into ridicule and con- tempt. Also it is taken by the millions of the Indian empire as a. direct insult to them that the kaiser-i-hind should be put on Indian coins in condition which appears to them improper and even immodest.
 In India every respectable person would no more think of uncovering his head in public than than he would Of well, there is nothing that he might do which would be more immodest. A poor Indian may have wardrobe made up only of a breechclous and still be good form, but let him remove his head covering in public and he commits serious breach of decency. Only in the seclusion of his own home, when no stranger are by, does custom permit him to be uncovered.
 On the rupes of the reign of victoria the queen appeared crowned, and all was we'll; but the Indian mint, with singular disregard of native feeling on the subject, has placed on the new rupees the head of her son, not only u1l- crowned, but bald. It is as if some Indian rajah had built a statue of the king in Hyde park and represented the monarch in suit of pajamas.
 England governs many millions of people in India, and has about 100000 white people there to do it. That she is able to accomplish this remarkable feat in the governmental way is owing to the fact that she has been studiously careful, since the Indian mutiny, to study the racial prejudices and customs of the inhabitants. It is by close att tention to little things that she perpetu- ates her rule.
 It was little thing that precipitated the great Sepoy rebellion. The Sepoys were Mahometans, and therefore, for bidden to taste of the flesh of the swine, but the cartridges served out to these soldiers where greased with the grease of the unclean animal. In those days the soldier had to tear the cartridge with his teeth before he rammed it into his gun, and thus was obliged to violate the law of him who sleeps in Medina" by polluting his lips with the fat hog.

The picture is presented of flowing garments and pigtail But as a matter of fact the Chinese, while unprogres- sive in many ways, have taken quite kindly to the bicycle It is perhaps ten years since the first attache of the Chi nese legation was seen on bicycle in the streets of Washington. Later on Minister Wu himself was aften met on country roads speeding as rapidly as any scorcker.
 But in China itself the use of bicy- cles is increasing notably. according to the report of Henry B. Miller, United States consul at Newchwang. He says that the possibilities of the market there are limited only by the abilities of the Chinese to purchase. He re- comments a special study of the char acter of wheels suited to China. and expresses the opinion that in North China, where the Chinese travel exten- sively, the wheel would be used much more if it was brought within their means. The roads are rough and a substantial wheel is needed. while, be- cause of their dress, wheel designed for women is in greater favor than the frame used by American men. MT. Miller argues that strength, durability and cheapness are more important to the Chinese than lightness and com fort. He suggests a special type for use in China. where pneumatic tires puncture easily and are hard to repair, and where low pedals strike obstacles. He advises the nanhfactllre of bicy- cles for the Chinese trade of this type: Chainless. pedals clearing the ground at least six inches, cushion frame, with

London, May 7.-The rush for pros pectuses for the Transvaal loan was un- precedented. At the hour of issue thou sands of people stood in the opuring rain, four deep, in the streets leading to the Bank of England. The scene in the Hobbies of the bank during the first issuing of the prospectuses resembled a football scrimmage, in which the weakest went to the wall. Later street hawkers sold copies of the prospectuses as fast as they could get the cash. Crowds continued to enter the bank long after the usual closing hour. It was understood late this afternoon that the Transvaal loan had already been sub- scribed for twenty times.

 The parlors of the First Methodist church were thronged to overflowing last evening, when one of the pleasant est and most successful social and mu- sical events of the, season was held. The evenings programme had been ar- ranged with special care and attention, and the results were most gratifying to the committee in charge.
