phasized by his later life in Minnesota, were manifest in his school days, his associates avowing him the most popu- lar student in college. The August following his graduation he went to Minneapolis when he became connect ed with the Crosby milling company, his promotion there being quick and substantial. He had just entered upon six months trip as travelling salesman through Wisconsin, with the knowledge that at it's close he was to enjoy vacation at his Ox- ford home after a two years absence. After months work the first pre- monition of his affiiction came upon him, and although he walked into the Northwestern hospital in pleasant mood his symptoms developed into the paralysis the news of which so shocked his relatives and friends the morn ing of May g. From this he never rallied and to the last was unable to communicate with his parents, who hastened to his bedside, save by the pressure of his unaffected hand. The cause of death was hemOrrhage of the brain, so located that surgical opera tiOn for it's relief was dangerously inn practicable. Space here is inadequate, and indeed words can but feeblY de scribe the genuine esteem which the
 personality of Henry Miller melted in those with whom he came in contact In the walks of business and pleasure,
 as we'll as in his church and private life, kindly Christianity predomina
 ted, to the making of friends and the opening up of vista of successful future.

A TRIPLE ABSENT MINDED.

Deeply absorbed in thrilling novel, Jeweler Hill was seen slowly walking down South Main street, the other day, and so thorC ughly was he taken up with the plot that he forgot to stop at his own door but kept on down the end of the avenue, when a neighbor asked him where he was going. He tried to bribe his friend not to men, tion it to the boys. On the way back to the store that afternoon he was surprised to find his store locked, so taking out his keys, he worked away at the door for five minutes. "Beats all," muttered Merritt under his breath, "what ails this door," while passers-by looked at him curiously sweltering in the sun as he bent down to investigate the trouble. Suddenly the door opened with a bang, but by the time Merritt got himself together Frederick was escaping by the back door. 'There will be'some dead Hoyts around if that happens again." said Hill, and he tried to explain the mat ter to Occulist Peabody.

MJJRPHY MEETS WITH A LOSS.

MURPHY MEETS WITH A LOSS.
 The fame of Robert Murphy, an af- fable clerk at the First National bank, as pedestrian is known in the three counties, and when people see the handsome gentleman on one of his tours, they know he can cover 20 miles as easy as the ordinary man can walk about the Green. The other day he was walking about the bridges, and took off his $5 Derby and swung it in his hand as he marched along. In crossing the new bridge the hat struck one of the timbers and flew into the waters of the placid HOuSatOnic, far beyond his reach. On coming up the other side of the river he saw the hat floating down stream, but being poor swimmer he deemed it best to order a new hat.

Slump in Cotton.

The price of cotton took anoth-
er great tumble yesterday, SO that
in two days the holders of cotton
we're SIS per bale poorer than they
we're last week.
But that is not the worst Of it
all. Since the season opened cot
ton has declined about $17 per
bale, which means that the South
has lost at least $100, 200, 900 in
three months.
Last year a ten million bale
crop brought the South $780, 00,-
000-this year the chances are
that twelve million bale crop is
going to bring less than
$50O,O0O,O0O.
But the situation is not as bad
as it would appear on the surface.
The truth of the matter is that at
least half of the cotton crop has
been sold, it has passed from the
hands of the farmer and at prices
that averaged around 9 cents per
pound, which is SIS per bale more
than is 5 cents per pound, where
fore they like $50, 900, 900 Of hav-
ing lost 500, 000,0 900, and have
that much to their credit.
There are number of farmers
all over the South who are hold
ing their cotton, and doubtless
many of them will continue to do
SO, believing that the !. price. is
bound to react. Chances are that
they are light about it, and should
not be frightened into rushing
their crop on the market every
time it goes off dollar or two.
The loss to the individual farmer
is not great, but to the entire
South it is something enormous.
