COTTON BREAKS RECORD.

who would "adulterate" silver dollar
by putting lot of gold into it, Not in
fifty years has the price CT cotton been
SO high as today. Experts have estima-
ly wallow in prosperity for long tine
to come. With cotton at from II to IA
cents a pound the south can well at
ford to smile.
1t is different though, with the hun-
dreds of thousands of employees in the
cotton mills of the country. Many ma
nufacturers have found it more pro-
fitable to send their cotton to the
markets than to weave it into cloth.
Thousands of workers have been fore
ed out of employment and thousands
of others are facing a wage reduction.
The consumer must also be considered.
A very large proportion of the people
who use cotton goods is made up Of
AUge-workers and those whose income

NEW YORK. July 1.-Oyster Bay
Is planning a rousing welcome to
President Roosevelt when he arrives
tomorrow to spend the summer with
his family. The republicans, with the
Oldest inhabitants foremost, will
gather at the depot to cheer him,
grasp his hand and cheer him when
he alights from the train. At Amity
street he will be met by the high
school pupils, boys and girls drawn
up In line. waving flags and singing
patriotic songs. The last ovation will
be from the public school close by
Sycamore hill. All of the pupils, in
their Sunday best, will stand in front
of the schoolhouse, and again the
president will be greeted with pa
triotic songs.
Though no formal arrangements
have been completed, 1t is expected
that the president will consent to
take part in the Fourth of July cele-
bration that the people Of Oyster Bay
are planning. They hope to make it
the most glorious Fourth in the his
tory of the village. Another big time
is anticipated the last of the month
when the republican leaders of the
entire country will come to Oyster
Bay to formally notify the president
of his denomination.

CONVICT LABOR
in ILLINOIS

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, July 1.-The
law abolishing convict labor passed
by the last session of the state legis-
lature became effective today. The
measure, which was passed largely
because Of the efforts made by the
various labor organizations, is re-
garded as the. most advanced legisla-
tion Of the kind ever adopted any
where in the country. Under its pro-
visions contract labor Is abolished en-
tirely. Hereafter the convicts will
be employed only in the manufacture
of articles used by the state. The
measure further provides that the
convicts shall not be employed more
than eight hours a day.

DENVER, Colo, July l.-Maude
Fealey, who shares with Maxine Elliott
the distinction of being the most beau

has been engaged to play leading parts
with the London company of Sir
Henry Irving. Miss Fealy was born
and raised in Denver and like Maudc
Adams and many other actresses bred
in the Rocky mountain region, she has
taken eastern critics by storm.
Miss Fealy's talent was developed
when she first began to play juvenile
parts. She appeared on the stage so
young that she carried a doll in her
arms while before the footlights and
spent her time dressing her childish
plaything while behind the scenes wait
ing for her cues. She was afterward
given ingenue parts and finally took
high rank playing leads. She appeared

One of the mos; remarkable OF
these freak Wills was that scrawled
on the door Of a miners shanty In
British Columbia The accompanying
illustration gives the entire Will
which, with the signature, comprised
only fourteen words. Tim Merrick
who willed his estate in this highly
original manner, was n miner living
near the town of Golden. Since his
coming to the district, in 1868 he had
worked steadily. and, ii was supposed
with great success.
One day, in 1886 he was found by
one of the mounted police lying dead
in his little cabin. The place was
searched for papers but none of any
special value were found. Merrick's
will was discovered, however, written
with chalk on the inside of the door OF
the cottage. 1t read: THE State may
have all they find I've got no heirs"
The authorities made hasty inves-
tigation of the premises, but without
discovering anything, and the search,
as far as they were concerned, was
abandoned.-New York Herald.

Murder Brought to Light in Extraor-

Some peasants, while recently work
ing near Dyakonoff, a village in Rus
STA, noticed a wolf running at little
distance and carrying in his mouth
something that looked like a portion
of human body. Naturally they were
much disturbed and straightway be.
gan to search for the animals lair.
After crossing a broad field they found
it, and in the ditch near it they speed
lily unearthed the head and clothes of
a farmer named Agarkof, who had
disappeared a few weeks previously in
mysterious manner.
The authorities were notified, and
the investigation which they held soon
showed that a terrible crime had been
committed Agarkoff's wife, it seems,
was infatuated with a disreputable
fellow named Tchernich, and as her
husband was in the way she deter
mined to get rid of him.
Consequently she made him drunk
one evening and induced Tehernich to
cut eff his head witr a hatchet, after
which she mutilate5 the corpse and
buried it. Fortunately and thanks to

The report printed In yesterdays
newspapers that Miss Ada Hanna of
Rochester, N. Y, is suing telegraph
company for the reason that a dis
patch ar%uncing the death of her
mother, asd addressed Miss Ada II.
Anna" instead of Miss Ada Hanna"
was not delivered to her, suggests a
similar. though less tragic, story that
was current in newspaper circles a
few years ago. The editor of South
ern newspaper received dispatch
late one night stating that young
gentleman and young lady, 'repre-
sentaGves OF fine old Southern fami-
lies" had "eloped" from a town in
Mississippi and been married in
neighboring town of Alabama. The
story concluded with the somewhat
startling statement that the young
couple had been married "by the Rev.
Mr.. So-and-So, fine colored gentle
man."
Inasmuch as rule Of this South
ern newspaper forbade the use of the
word "colored" in the sense indicated
In the dispatch, the telegraph editor
promptly "blue-penciled" it and sub
stituted the word NEGRO" When the
newspaper appeared the next morning
the feelings of the relatives and
friends of the runaway couple" may
readily be imagined. A runaway
match was bad enough but to permit
"a negro" to perform the ceremony"
that was ine&pressibly humiliating.
It later developed, however that the
words used in the original dispatch
were "a fine old cultured gentleman"
and not "a fine old colored gentle
man" The discovery alleviated the
modification of the young peoples
relatives and friends, but did not sat
isfy the clergyman. He promptly sued
for damages. The courts sustained
him; tie responsibility for the error
was fixed precisely where it belonged,

OUT AMONG THE HICk'RYS.
Golden Autumn Days When the Nuts
Were EaIlinu Down.

When the autumn skies are grazing and
the earth is turning brown,
And the leaves In golden showers from
the trees are falling down,
Memory on its silent pinions wings away
toward the days
When the sun of youth was shedding on
our head its golden rays.
We can see the shocks of fodder standing
just as when we left,
See the chipmunks holding acorns in their
claws so sharp and deft,
Hear the hick'ry nuts come falling from
the grand old shellhark trees
When, their limbs were softly shaken by
the fingers of the breeze.
We can hear the turkeys gobbllng in the
barnyard cross the lane,
Hear the humfnlng of the threshers
pounding out the golden grain,
See the yellow old COW pu'nkins lying
thick upon the ground
With the stubble of the cornstalks sharp
ly hedging them around.
But the very sweetest music that came
to our boyish ears
Music that has chung unto US through
the intervening years
Was the music that was started by the
antics of the breeze
Hickry nuts a rafting downward from
the shaggy shellhark trees.
How us wild. shockheaded youngsters,
hardy products of the farms,
fastened to the nearby woodland, pillow
slips hung on our arms,
Lading echoes with our laughter, an
sWerlng the bob-whtte's call,
When the frost was on the fences and
the nuts began to foil.
Busy were our little fingers as we filed
the muslin slips,
Rude, at times, the eXclama lions that
would ripple from our lips
As we'd guy the bold intruders, saucy,
well dressed boys from town.
Out among the shellbark hick'rys when
the nuts were falling down.
Looking back DER life so riddled with its
pleasures and it's pains,
With its seasons glad with sunshine and
Its days of chilling rains,
Like an ever-sparkling jewel In the
mem'ry crown ablaze
Comes the joyous recollection of those
careless boyhood days;
Comes picture of the farmhouse, of the
crooked old rail fence,
of the saucy squirrels barking in the
wood so deep and dense.
of the leaves so softly rustling when
disturbed by passing breeze
And the hickry nuts a falling from the
grand old shellhark trees.
