DE PAUW'S FAST GAME.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, May H.-Purdue's
hopes of winning the State baseball cham
pionship were sent glimmering this after
noon when De PAW defeated the Boiler
Makers by a score of to 4. The game was
presented to the Methodists by Purdue's
inexcusable errors. Weakness at the bat
also contributed to the defeat of Captain
Cooks men. De Pauw played clean and
a fast game, but the fielders were not
called upon to perform any sensational
feats for the flies and grounders that came
to them were of the easiest kind to handle.

COTTON TREES IN PARAGUAY
Yield Is Greater Than That Of Any
Given Area Of Any Country
In the World.

" A very interesting exposition Of the
possibilities of cotton growing In Para
quay has been written by the vice presi-
dent of that republic, Manuel Doming-
uez, and received through the consulate
of that country in Washington, reports
the Star. Among the features which the
author sets forth, and which are at
variance with the habits Of the cotton
plant in the United States, are the term
of life of the plant there, which he claims
Is ten years, and its superior productive
quality. In the United States the plant
is an annual, except in portions of Texas
and a few other places, where it is a tri-
ennial. He also says that the cotton
plant in Paraguay is not a plant, but a
tree, and that it grows to that size in
Asuncion. Where the fiber of the plant
is extensively utilized, he contends that
there certainly should be some advan-
tage in such a condition.
Mr.. Dominguez then asserts that the
cotton yield of Paraguay is greater to a
given area than that of any other coun-
try in the world. 1t is well known that
cotton f1ourishes wherever the orange
grows, and it is said that the Paraguay
an orange is n of the finest in the
world. The fact that the cotton tree of
Paraguay grows spontaneously and lasts
for ten years, bearing with regularity, is
one of the striking bits of information
in the mass gathered by the author of
the statistics. He cites the w%ell-known
facts that the demand for cotton is con-
stantly on the increase, and that the
United States is ~endeavoring to supply
the world with the great staple, using
this for an argument that the future for
tunes of Paraguay may be founded on
this plant.
Referring to the tremendous growth
of the cotton raising and manufacturing
industry in the United States, he says:
The manufacture of cotton goods in
North America is developing, and when
that country shall manufacture all it's
raw products the demand for the latter
will increase. Until now North America
depended on Europe as Europe depended
on North America, the latter producing
the cotton which Europe consumed. But
If once North America onsum all the
cotton it produces Europe will be obliged
to close its factories and discharge its
workmen. It will be IN economic break
down"
Mr.. Dominguez closes by appealing to
his government to foster and encourage
he cultivation of the valuable plant and
to invite capital to take it up, believing,
he saws that Sin a chart fina Do 70 ora u,
could export cotton to the value Of $780,

Washington, April 25.-Presidenr
Roosevelt has selected Judge Beakman
Winthrop, of the court of first in
stance, Philippine islands, to succeed
William H. Hunt as governor of the
Island of Porto Rico. The appoint
ment has not been announced official

Judge Winthrop is a member of nj

He is a graduate of Harvard and a
personal friend of President Roose-
welt. He went to the Philippines as
the assistant executive secretary to the
Philippine commission. He made a
fine record for efficiency and during
the temporary absence Of Mr.. Fergu-
son acted for several months as sec
rotary of the commission. During a
brief s~ojourn in this country nearly
two years ago, he saw much of the
president and was entertained by him
at the white house. Later, he was APP
pointed by the president as judge of

Philippine commission has expressed
regret at the prospective loss of his
services to the Philippine islands.

salesladies.

The automobile business has opened
a new field for the impecunious woman
in high society in England, and many
are making much money acting as
agents for the various makes OF ma
chimes. A certain woman of title is
known to have sold, within six months.
five high-power cars and fourteen
smaller ones, and made in commissions
about $4,000. There was no trouble
in making the transaction. for ali she
had to do was to tell her wealthy
friends that her car was the best on
the market and give her card to the
intending purchaser, to be presented
to the maker. Some of the smart
women make additional profits by SELL
ing the cars placed at their disposal
on the spot for $500 more than the
price, and then paying for the ma
chimes so sold, at their leisure, at the
regular price, less the commission.

COMPLAINT OF BAD WEATHER
CHIEF DRAWBACK TO BUSINESS
IMPROVEMENT.
Distribution of Merchandise Affected,
and Collections Are Made
More Difficult.

New York, April 25.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade says:
Unreasonable weather is still the chief
drawback to improvement in business,
complaints being received from every
section OF the country and slower collec-
tons are also attributed to this factor.
Not only is current distribution of mer-
chandise, particularly dry goods, affect
ed by the thermometer, but future com
mltments are undertaken most conserv-
atively on account of the possible in
jury to crops. There is much confidence
regarding the future despite the fact
that at many points supplies of mer-
are burdensome. With the ex-
cept1on OF wearing apparel, manufac-
turing plants are increasingly active,
n structural work is gradually resum-
ing normal proportions for the season.
May l is usually the date fixed for many
laDor controversies, but this year there
is little prospect of serious disturbance.
While no further improvement can be
dlscerned in the iron and steel Industry,
1T is gratifying to find nc distinct evil
dence of a setback.
FAILURES this week numbered 241 in
the United States, against 166 last year,
and II in Canada, compared with Is a
year ago."
Bradstreet's says: "U~nseasonably
cold weather all over the country inter
feres with plant preparations and
growth and interrupts outdoor actiyi-
ties in many lines, notably building.
Dlstflbutlve trade, both wholesale and
retail, has practically marked time
during the week. The effects Of this and
OF past u~nfavorable weather are reflected
IN reports OF slow business in shoe manu-
featuring and building, while in cotton
manufacturing high prices of raw and
manufacturer goods continue a bar to
ACTIVITY. At the south, cold weather is
complained of as interfering with farm
Ing preparations and with plant growth.
Ihose causes have combined to give an
air or unwonted quiet to spring bust
ness and have unquestionably retarded
corrections. Back of weather and price
conditions, too. there looms up the DO
lltlcal outlook, which in most presiden-
tlal years has induced a%tendency toward
conservatism While fall trade has
opened up'measurably well in some sec
tons, there is a natural tendency to
await future developments affecting
crop and other conditions. The poor
trade in flour was a depressing feature
THIS week, the mills refusing much bust
ness at the lower rates. Some export
business wa reported done atthe declines
IN wheat and corn. Hog products de-
cllned again, though receipts are smaller
and prices OF animals higher"

Where Rain Is Always Failing.

There is group of islands to the south
of New Zealand called the Sisters, or
Seven Sisters, which are reputed to be
subject to a practically constant rain
fall. The same may be said of the is
lands and mainland Of TERRA del Fuego,
ave for the difference that the rain
often takes the form of sleet and snow.
On a line running round the world from
four to eight OF nine degrees, there are
patches ove which rain seldom ceases
tc fall. This is called the zone Of con-
9stant precipitation" but at the same
time there are several localities along
with it very little rainfall.

THE NEW CATHEDRAL.

The finest building on Fort street,
after the Hackfeld structure, VIII
doubtless be the new Roman Catholic
cathedral which August Dreier expects
to erect as a memorial to his daugh-
ter, the late Juanita Dreier. Public
interest in it as an Improvement 10
property will extend to people of all re-
ligious views or of none at all: for
nothing could do more for the neigh
borhood of Beretania and Fort than
the expenditure of s15O,000 to 100000
on a cathedral or, for that matter, on
any fine public building.
Such an edifice would employ many
men for long time in its construction,
which is not the least of the obliga-
tons under which Mr.. Dreier will put
his fellow citizens and his church.
Fortunate will this city be If, at the
same time, the needed improvements
on the Episcopal cathedral and the
building of a Federal postoffice can be
carried out. This city needs the i'm
