ExcIrEMFNr AND REposE.


 "Any one creating wild rumors.' ob- serves a viceroy Of China. calculated to alarm or produce doubt in the peo- Dle's mind will be beheadel." Thus do some potentates encourage the quiet life. and fight against that spirit of the age which was described by Words worth when he spoke of the increasing accumulation of men fin great cities, where the uniformity of their oecupa- ton produces a craving for extraordin- ary incident. which the rapid com ,munication of intelligence hourly grati- fies.' Wordsworth did not live to see the telephone, by which each of us is constantly chatting with all the world and the farmers are able to get a little Of the excitement which was once con- fined 10 cities. We are all very busy nowadays, even if we do nothing ex- cept look and listen. The press is the greatest aid to this intensity of life, for by it we live everywhere at once. Probably it makes for happiness, this distribution of the worlds doings to every corner of the earth, and if it brings it's disadvantages so does every other boon. The course of wisdom is not to give up the newspaper or the telephone but to strengthen the con- trasting sides of life; to keep alive our love of solitude and nature. of great books and quiet thought; to cultivate lrepose; to take the world but as the world with all it's strenuousness and lbustle-master of it's pleasures, not their slave. Spring is with us now, and happy are those who are able to seek woods or fields with the opening of the buds; for nature. with her large, mys- iterious genious, has not her equal as a preacher of simplicity. Among the books which go on and on, because there is an unfailing want of them, is little volume called Power Through Repose, treatise which is excellent in itself and which strikes at the centre one of the greatest needs of our Ameri- can nature.-Collier's Weekly.

During his address before the Con- gregationa1 Association of New Jersey in the Central Congregational Church, Eighteenth and Green Streets on We'd nesday night, the Rev. Dr. H. A Stin- son of New York told story of a negro who narrated his experience to a number of people gathered on a street corner in St. Louis.

NINETY DOLLARS OUT OF TEN.
 If there is any flaw in the logic of this story, for which the Kansas Ranch News is responsible it is not easy to find: MT. Brown, a Kansas gentleman, keeps a boarding house, it appears. Around his table at a recent occasion sat his wife, Mrs. Brown; the village milliner, Mrs. Andrews; MT. Black, the baker; MT. Jordan, a carpenter, and MT Hadley, flour feed, and lumber merchant. MT Brown took a $10 bill out of his pocketbook and handed it to Mrs. Brown, with the remark that there was S10 toward the $20 he had promised her. Mrs. Brown handed the bill to Mrs. Andrews, the milliner say ing: "That pays for my new bennett ? Mrs. Andrews, in turn, passed it on to MT. Jordan, remarSing that it would pay for the carpentering work he had done for her. MT. Jordan handed it to Mr. Hadley, requesting his receipted bill for flour, feed, and lumber. MT. Hadley gave the bill back to MT. Brown, saying, That pays $10 on my board" MT. Brown again passed it to Mrs. Brown, remarking that he had now paid her the $2O he had promised her. She in turn paid to MT. Black to settle her bread and pastry account; MT. Black handed it to Mr. Hadley, asking credit for the amount on his flour bill. MT. Hadley again turning it to Mir. Brown, with the remark that it settled for that months board; where upon Brown put it back into his pocket book, observing that he had not sup posed a greenback would go so far Harper's Weekly.

LESSONS FOR BIRMINGHAM.

From the Atlanta Constitution
 Tn these days of mob violence it is we'll to recall now the shooting by the militia leaves a wholesome lesson," said Henry B. Gray of Birmingham at the Piedmont lover in Birmingham the populace was given a lesson in the Dick Hawes case, which has lasted them 16 always deplorable, but when the militia officers, sworn to do their duty in pro- tecting a prisoner they sometimes have no other alternative than ordering the troops to fire. Dick Hawes was a rail road engineer. you remember, who had murdured his wife and daughter in a most brutal manner in order to marry another woman The little girls body was found in a lake near Birmingham where he had thrown it with weights attached to it.
 'When Hawes was arrested and the people knew all the atrocious details the public mind became so inflamed that regiment of soldiers was ordered out to guard the county jail at Birmingham. At last the mob began movinng on the jail and the troops were ordered to fire. They did so killing eight persons and wounding a number. Deplorable as was the shooting, it hau a splendid effect on the lawless element of the mining region. The mob did not get Dick Hawes and he was later on legally hanged. But we have never had another mob in Bir- mingham with all the lawess element. It was a terrible lesson, but 1t was good one, with lasting effect'

FATHER coYLE.

From the Mobile Register.
 The Rev. James E. Coyle, curate of the McGil institute in this city, Las been se- lected by Bishop Allen of this Catholic diocese to fill the place as pastor of St. Paurs parish Birmingham. made vacant by the death of the much revered Patrick O'Reilly. The fervent zeal for his faith and for the uplifting of humanity dis played by the dead pastor, his broad minded charity, his earnest ci-'ic patriot ism and his virile manliness gained for Father OReilly the universal esteem and admiration of his fellow townsmen, ire spective of religious utilization. To ade- quately fill vacancy in an office that had been so adorned by Father OReiily seemed especially difficult, but, fortunate ly, the right man for the place was at hand in the person of Father Coyle. This young man Is one of the brightest and most intelligent of the priests in this diocese. Carefully and thoroughly edu- cated for his life work, possessed of earn est piety. he has also the gift of geniaity. His knack of making friends is manifested in the sincere admiration which he has in splred in his pupils at McGlrs during his rectorship of nearly six years. While strict in enforcing discipline. his gentleness and helpfulness have been recognized and ap- preciated by all the boys of his charge. In the terse language of the day, Father Coyle has made good" with those exact ing critics, the boys. He has done so also with the elders, who nave carefully ob- served his work. While he has not had a. pastorate before. he is excellently fitted for the leadership of an intelligent and congregation, and we feel sure that his career in Birmingham will be as successful as his career here has heen

Rise in Wheat Prices.

The spring wheat corp is not yet harvested along the Canadian border, and over in Manitoba much of it IS uncut It is afflicted with black rust, which destroys the kernels of wheat in a single night. It is difficult to say what tEe crop will be, but the agricul- tural department seems to think 1t will De close to five hundred million bush els, or a minimum crop, as against 63S million bushels harvested last year.
 The consumption of this country Is fully five hundred million bushels when wheat is selling below a dollar. By consumption at home we mean what is needed for bread and seed, and the chief question now relates to the home supply. The crop may be none tco large to meet home requirements.
 The European shortage is, unmistalz- able, The European crop is probably from ten to twelve per cent below that of last year, and the excited demand for wheat which carried the price of May wheat in Chicago up to $1.16 is due ir part to the European shortage. Europe and America are both bidders for crop that is very close to home consumption. Where Europe is to get wheat to supply her deficiencies does not appear.
 There is . possibility that the Amer ican crop will exceed home require ments by fifty to seventy-five million bushels. If so, the situation will be- come less strained, and prices will re- cede, but dolie, wheat seems destined |, stay with us un+il another crop is grown.

go each year into coal bags. Cotton is the baL-5 of all enameled cloths, of asbestos jackets, and of rubber belt ing. Cotton blankets are fast sup planting he woolen article, and cot ton bags are in favor in the sugar, salt, flour ant cement trades. Cotton is largely used in shoes, and it has taken the place O. flax duck in tar paulins. It lies at the bottom of the sea as a wrapping of cables, and fifty million yards are annually consumed by the manufacturers of airbrakes, fire hose, garden hose and automobile tires.
 New uses for cotton are discovered every year, and it is therefore no won der that consumption is exceeding production. The consumption of cot ton bids fair to press hard upon pro- duction in the years to come, and low priced cotton will perhaps never again be known. Ten cents seems to be the worlds minimum hereafter. {

NATIONAL POLITICS.
ParkePs TeIeoram.

From the Nashville Banner
 One of the campaign efforts to reflect upon Judge Parker is the pretense of a belief that the famous gold telegram was not sent by the judge to the St. Louis convention but was made up at St. Louis. An asseveration to this effect Is attrib uted to Governor Jennings of Florida, who Is a cousin of MT. Bryan. This statement is seriously taken by the Chicago Chron- icle as the basis of an attack upon Judge Parker. The Chronicle says:
 The story coineides with all we know of the political character of Judge Parker. Everything goes to show that his vaunted independence Is a myth. and that he is really a political dummy, not only willing to be or to say anything that would help him, but willing to put him self into the hands of any interruptions political hack who would undertake to manage for him and say things for him. If Judge Parker ever wrote the telegram the probability is that he wrote 1t before the convention met and committed it to Hill or Sheehan with perm1ss1on to use 1t if necessary.
 This absurd story, intended simply as a stab at the democratic candidate, is re- futed by the history of the St. Louis con- vention and It's falsity might easily be established by the records of the telegraph office. The opponents of Judge Parker who are seeking to discredit his charae- ter are forced to resort to unfair means to make false impression III on the pub Ifr

More Uses for Cotton.

Cotton is fast displacing wool and linen, and it is today the worlds chief textile. Twice as much cotton is con stunned every year than of wool and linen combined, and the former is gaining ground rapidly. Mercerized cotton goods are even encroaching upon the uses of silk The better the machinery and the more skilled the labor, the greater become the uses of cotton.
 The linen shirt is almost an un- known quantity, and 'fhousehold lin ems" chiefly consist at present of cot ton.
 The armies of tho world now wear cotton. Formerly woolen uniforms were considered indispensable, but e4ght-ounce khaki cloth is now consid- cred superior especially in extended campaigns. Both of the armies of the di iSuot Ncoi hldhl OO uO l0c navies of the world, and in the mer- chant service as much cotton duck is used as when tho sails of clipper ships were made of cotton.
 Tobacco .ands are, now covered in some places by cotton cloth, and one tobacco concern uses four million yards of cotton cloth in the manufac- ture .f bags for holding smoking to- bacco. One company that makes threshers consumes three million yards of cotton duck, and the govern ment buys three million yards of cot ton duck year for the making of coin bags. Overcoats of cotton duck with blanket lining are coming into favor in the colder sections of all coun- tries. Fifteen million yards of duck
