How Many Bites to an Egg :?

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, JAM Spot cotton firm
and higher caused by a firm Liverpool
market and a firm market in New York.
Sales 7,775 bales, including $50 to arrive.
Quotations Ac higher.
The bull element was in control of the
future market today; nothing apparently
influences the course of cotton now, as
much as statistics. War rumors were
plentiful but had no, effect. Offerings
were not equal to the demand. Longs
took profits freely, but these offerings
were easily absorbed. The volume of trade
was heavy and the ring was excited owing
to the short Saturday business. At the
opening prices were from 33 to AZ points
higher than Thursdays finals. The lead
ing bulls bought freely and the market
closed firm at about the highest level of
the day. The net gains over Thursday s
closing were so to 81 points.

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, Jan. 9.-The cotton market
opened today with moderate activity at
an advance of 1902 points. The volume
of business was small but the market was
strong, at one time showing a net adj

being the lowest of the session. The prin-

was the assumption at home and abroad
that the Russo-Japanese situation would
end peacefully.

AN ATHLETIC CENTRAL HIGH
FRESHMAN COLLARS HIM.
Kenneth Smith, Son of AL j. Smith,
Shows How Football Training May
Be Helpful in the Everyday Walks
OF Life-Prisoner Not Locked Up.

to-day, Kenneth Smith surrendered
the prisoner without thinking to in
quire how old Ann really was.
Kenneth is the son of Alderman j.

first year men, Ken" has been faith
full .aspirant for the team. He plays
hockey when the gridiron is frozen
and who has built up pretty husky,
muscular system. e.., -s.'
''Annies brother" had appeared
about noon at Chandler Wyman's
house, 1912 Dupont avenue S. Was
that the place where Annie used to
work? he asked. Mrs. Wyman could
not deny she had employed girl
of that name, and readily gave up 81
in response to the confidence mans
glib story of Armies present need. Be-
fore he was out of sight other mem
bers Of the household, who had read
learned of his visit and ran out, call
ing on somebody to stop him.
For once in his life 'ken," who
happened to be passing with Carl
Jones, threw football training to the
the man By the collar and shook him
up and then some. This process
soon brought about a refund Of
the dollar and the prisoner was then
marched to the Sexton livery stable,
nearby where a council of war was
held. Before decision was reached,
word was received that his recent vic
tim did not care to prosecute, and
sOTthe captive was allowed to go.

The foregoing is not declaration
Of any anti-kissing society premedi-
tating a crusade against OSCILLATION,
but a paragraph from the annual re-
port of Medical Inspector F. e.
Haynes of the city health department,
prescribing methods of preventing
the spread Of diphtheria. He con-
siders kissing one Of the dangerous
methods Of spreading contagious dis
eases of all kinds, especially diph-
iberia, and warns the public against
it.
DR.. Haynes says that there were
936 cases Of diphtheria in the city
last year, 81 of which terminated
fatally This was slight decrease
over 1902, when there were $50
cases and y deaths. This decrease,
he says, might have been greater had
attending physicians warned parents
of the danger of infection in any
kinds of sore throat and had they
been stricter in their rules of isola-
ton. . -.. --
An instance which illustrates the
carelessness with. which some cases
of sore throat are treated is cited in
the report. A certain school was
thought to be infected and smears
were taken from lao threats, with the
result that twenty children were
quarantined. The parents declared
that infection did not exist, but two
deaths resulted directly from these
cases.

nine GRADUATES
AT SOUTH HIGH
FIRST WINTER COMMENCEMENT
BRINGS OUT BIG CROWD.
Glass Numbers Seven Girls and Two
Boys-Henry Edward Brenchley
Delivers Stirring Address Upon
the Subject, Captains of Industry"

The nine graduates of the South
high school We're given an enthusi-
astlc reception this morning as they
marched to the stage to give their
final program before the school. The
class numbers seven girls and two
boys, and there was preponderance
of fluffy white frocks and clusters OF
red and white roses. The South high
school orchestra played a march, di-
rected by Charles Rauch, and Rev. A.
D. Stone delivered the invocation.
In his essay on Captains of Indus
try" Henry Edward Brenchley spoke
of the changed conditions which pro-
duced such leaders. and as a repre-
sentative of the successful modern
business man, captain Of industry,
spoke of the late Frank H. Peavey.
President Northrop Of the university
and President Angel Of Michigan
university were also cited as exam
pies Of men who should be at the
head of such an industrial factory as
a college.
Miss Shirley Edna Goodrich re-
cited Van Dykes beautiful story of
''The Other Wise Man. and Klara
Kristine Hendricks in her essay on
commencements as out of the ordinary
conditions and therefore of extraor-
binary interest. The South high
school chorus under the direction
Of Miss Marion Gale made a very
creditable first appearance with the
Cavalry Song. George Thomas
Lawton sang 1.-The Highwayman' s
Song and was obliged to respond to
an encore.
DR.. Jordan, in presenting the diplo-
mas, referred to Mr.. Brenchley's men
ton of Mr.. Peavey, and said that the
latter's life was one that all boys
would do well to copy. DR.. Jordan
also referred to the benefits of the
high school education, and told sew
eral anecdotes which proved his
words. The diplomas, tied with black
and yellow ribbons, were presented,
the high school orchestra played a
march and the first midwinter COM
mencement exercise ever held in the
South high school was over.

DENOUNCEs FERRET PLAN
Single Tax Apostle Shows a Danger and
Points Moral.

Single Tax Apostle Shows Danger and
Points a Moral.
j.. z. White, lecturer Of the Henry
George association, Of Chicago, addressed
the members Of the Commercial club at
noon to-day.
MY notion is that the business people
of this locality recognize, more or less,
that this tax ferret scheme, If carried out
would be more or less injurious to bust
ness enterprises said he Either the law
that the ferret is appointed to carry out
! ought to be made effective or it ought to
be repealed. This incident serves to bring
to notice the fact that personal property
taxation Is an entirely mistaken system.
1T is a system under which taxes cannot
be equitably levied. The stocks of whole
sale drug and dry goods houses, for in
stance, cannot be estimated except by ex-
l'perts. When We add to the physical fea-
lures the errors Of humanity, we have a
condition which inevitably leads to eva
. sion of these public charges.
Further, if the law of any state rela-
tive to personal taxation were enforced
the merchants Of that state would not be
able to compete with those in the same
line of business in other states. This does
not justify evading the law. but it justi-
fies merchants in demanding change Of
the law" "''>

ANOTHER BULL
In MAY WHEAT
KENIPER OF KANSAS CITY GETS
INTO THE DEAL.
At First Thought to Be Buying for
Armour, He Is Now Discovered to
Be Running Little Bull Campaign
Quite Independently - Now the
Largest Kansas City Holder.

Kansas City, Jan. 32.-W. T. Kemper,
police commissioner, candidate for the
democratic nomination for mayor, depart
ment store owner, capitalist and grain
dealer, has started on a bull campaign in
the Kansas City wheat market, following
the Armour tactics in Chicago.
Mr.. Kemper has been a large buyer of
May wheat for several days past and he
has found it an easy matter to put prices
up. No one outside of his office knows
how much wheat he has bought. but he is
by far the largest holder of May wheat, in
this market.
When he started buying large lots of
wheat last week the traders on change
jumped at the conclusion that his pur-
chases were for Armour & Co. George
Marcy, head OF the Armour cash grain
business, has been in Kansas City for a
week or So and the presumption seemed
natural that he was here to buy wheat
But Mr.. Marcy denies that he has any
interest in the Kansas City market, and
it appears plain that Mr.. Kemper has
started a bull campaign on his own ac-
count.
AS he now stands Kemper is the larg-
est holder OF May in this city, unless it be
Armour. esfs

Mayor o. P. Sutherland, Columbia,
Isle of Pines, y. S. A.
This is the address which the many
friends Of the absent former alder
man Of the thirteenth ward can now
make use of in communicating to the
distinguished city official who has
been so much sought after.
AS might have been expected, any
one as fond Of politics as DR.. Suther-
land was here cannot keep out of the
game. That he has not only made
the Isle of Pines his haven of rest,
but has also decided that it shall be
the permanent scene of his activities,
was evidenced this morning by the
receipt of a letter from the lately in
dicted dentist in which the informa-
ton is given that he has been elected
mayor of Columbia, Isle Of Pines.
Columbia is the little city founded
and mostly built by American cap
italists, who went into the island dur
ing and Immediately after the Span
ish-American war. Among these in
VestOrs from the states was the genial
DR.. Sutherland, then senior alderman
from the thirteenth ward.
After giving his testimony anent
grating in the city council, Alderman
Sutherland went to Spokane, where
preparations were made to arrest him.
He evaded the authorities there, how
ever, and went at once to his ranch
on the Isle of Pines.
AS the question of the ownership Of
the island Is now decided in Cuba's
favor, the sheriff's office finds it i'm
possible to effect the return of the
now popular mayor Of an infant city.
