The Curse of Eve.

.'The Curse of Eve" which is the text of an article in the July number Of The North American Review. by Margaret Bisland, tells the ruin that, Miss Bisland says, falls upon woman and the race when woman puts forth her hand and pflcks the fruit of the tree of knowledge. Miss Bisland asks whether the tree of Knowledge docs not still bear a cursed fruit for the daughters of Eve, and she asks this question because she regards it as pertinent to the present discussion concerning the decline in the birth-rate among native Americans. This decline, Miss Bisland attributes to the overeduca- ton and the abnormal public activities encouraged among our women. The story of the fall Miss Bisland regards as being founded upon tremendous race tragedy, which once imperiled the existence of the human family-the serpent being the evil whisper of false ambition. calling wo- man away from her appointed and pri- n nordial task. to aid in the struggle for the attainment of intellectual and mate rial aggrandizement The history of Rome indicates that when woman adhered to her natural interests and occupations the re- public was great and powerful; but the moment woman assumed equality with man in connection with public affairs,
 
 of Rome motherhood was invested with a holy dignity through the preaching of Christs advent. and thus woman was re- established in her sphere of natural pow CT, and through the conservation of her women. Europe has achieved her true des- tiny. As nation. the United States stands most in need of a re-elevation and rejuvenescence of the motherhood ideal. without which a permanent and powerful race never can be produced on our com mon soil. Referring to the women of the Roman republic, Miss Bisland says
 "In the great deays of the republic. the Roman woman stood. to her men and her country, in exactly the same relationship as our pioneer women of the seventeenth. eighteenth and nineteenth centuries stood to the men who were engaged in found ing this Republic of the West Her crown of distinction was her pure wife hood and motherhood. Lucretia. Virginia, Cornelia and Veturia were no less in- valuably ennoblinK in the ideals they per- sonided. no less indicative of the majes- ty and character Of Rome, than were Horatius and Regulus. Cincinnatus and Brutus. The vigor and value of the Ro- man matron were made evident in her sons. To mother great men was her high est distinction. Hannibal was overcome, and Rome became the dictator of the world, by virtue of the fact that the Ro- man woman of the Republic was the fin- est flower of femininity produced by any civilization preceding the Christian era"

c. E. Pierce 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

By Private Wire From c. W. Lee Col
 NEW YORK. June 3o.-It looked at one time today as though the bottom would drop out of the market. There were no indications at three Summer months lost anywhere from 30 to 60 points at the opening this morning and January cotton sold again at o.7o, after be- ing up at 10 cents last week. There was very little cotton thrown on the market to account for any such decline and the smash support. Later on in the day the weekly bu- reau report appeared and not received with favor. That is. while conditions were expressly stated as being very generally im- proved. there were so many buts added as qualifying phazes that few more of the ag
 market up very easily. They were helped in this by the fact that The Journal of Commerce does net raise its figures over those pre- viously reported. This authority states that the showing Is apparently inconsistent with the trend of advices in the large majority of instances conditions are said to be better than. those existing a month ago. and goes on to say that 1t would be difficult to dispel the impression that correspondents have al- lowed the lateness of the season and the small
 nes of the plant to enter as too ssrong a fac tor in their figures. This Is the situation In a nutshell. We believe we voice the opinion of cotton growers when we say that as far as the condition Of the plant is concerned and it's promise as compared With last year there really is no comparison, In fact. last years s crop was deemed from the st of July. We now have hard Rnd vigorous plant with abundant moisture m the soil and with any thing like good weather in July and August of this condition that we are not in favor of investment purchases above e% cents pound. We wouii like to see the market break the bureau report of the week to 91z-cent basis

CHICAGO. June ao.-Favorable weather caused weakness in the wheat pit today. Sep tember closing 7sc lower. September corn was lsc lower, oats off h and provisions from l2h los to 37iac lower.
 Wheat ruled active with large amount of liquidation going on throughout the entire session. Opening prices were weak de- cidedly bearish news. reports from the North west being to the effect that rains had fallen over large section of the Spring wheat belt thus dispelling all fears of drought. A spe- cial Kansas crop report estimated this year 8 yield at about 100 900, 900. bushels. the larg- est on record-and under these influence Sep tember was down %9A to %9ic at the start at 77A677h.

 Corn was surprisingly strong in the face of the weakness in wheat. the higher cables and the good cash demand being largely respon- sible for the better feeling. There was con- siderable liquidation as a result of the fa- vorable weather conditions. but the offerings were readily absorbed by commission houses. The weakness in wheat was late factor and much of the gain was lost, September clos ing Mc lower at sos after selling between 5oh and 5I%. Receipts 5e Fears, v con- tract.
 There was only a moderate trade in oats. but prices were firm the greater part of the day, due to a good commission house demand The break in wheat toward noon resulted in a reaction in prices and the close was about steady with September Mc lower at 34. after 1t had sold between 33% and 34h. Receipts, SIS cars.
 Liquidation by local longs caused weakneSs in provisions and much of yesterdays ad- vance was lost. Late buying by brokers caused a steadier tone, but prices showed little recovery. September pork closed 37h lower at sl662h September lard l5c off at Ss 30 and ribs i21k0l5c lower at S5.65V

Bank Case
Being Prepared.

Attorney T. d. Colby of the firm of
city. He will assist J: S. Carnahan
in the case of the depositors of the
defunct Colorado State bank aginst
the stockholders. and is here gather
ing data and familiarizing himself
with the details of the situation. The
case will come up during the next
term of the district court. ssThe firm
which Mr.. Cobbey represents has
been retained by the depositors of
every state bank that has failed in
Colorado since 1898. They have
maintained and gained in the su-
preme court of this state point which
is very generally disputed 1t is in
reference TO the extent of liability OF
the stock holders of bank that has
failed. The law provides that they
shall be liable for double the amount
of their stock This has been con
strued to mean that in the event of a
failure the creditors of the bank can
demand from them only sum equal
to that which they paid for their
stock; but Mr.. Cobbey'; firm has held
that they must forfeit sum equal to
twice that amount and that what they
paid for their stock originally is not
to be regarded as half of this double
the amount. " Mr.. Cobbey expresses
himself as very hopeful for the de
positors. He will leave this city to-
morrow.
