VALUE OF THE COTTON CROP
Some Figures Showing the Enor-
nous Extent of the Industry.
Extracts From an Address by Presi-
dent Poole of the Cotton States
Commissioners.

Baton Rouge, La, Oct. 15.-President
R. H. Poole of the Association of Cot
ton States Commissioners of Agricul-
ture, in an address delivered before
that body, in session here, said in part:
"The value of the product which we
have come to talk about to-day and de-
wise ways and means to extend and
promote its planting and cultivation,
with a yield of ten million and a half
bales, reaches the enormous sum of
$412, 403 $50; besides the sea island
crop Of 7S,63S bales, representing So
So4, 707; the immense and astounding
total of s41S, 1858 1885,"
Mr.. Poole told of the demand for
cotton, saying the supply is not equal
to the demand. Continuing, he said:
"The planter is now independent at
last and he can make cotton the money
crop, and after raising all provision
crops for home consumption and to
| spare, he can make as much cotton as
he chooses and hold it for fair and
Just prices"
Speaking of the price of cotton this
year, President Poole said: "The
prices have been fair from the begin
ming, and the crop will be marketed
ut the present rate, ten cents, or over"
He said, despite the boil weevil in
Texas, where it was feared the produc-
ton of the staple would be well nigh
stopped or retarded to a ruinous ex-
tent, the yield will be larger than last
year.

GEAR BITTERLY DISAPPOINTED.
Spends Hours Studying the Reports
of the Battle.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 15.-The great
feeling of concern which exists in high
circles in the Russian capital by no
a equals the foreboding of COM
ing disaster pervading the general
public, which is indulging in the deep
est pessimism. In the absence of Of
fetal news the public is being fed on
the widest rumors of defeat suffered
by Gen. Kuropatkin. The fact that
nothing regarding the battle has been
officially given out only confirms the
popular fear. The explanation Of
fered that Friday was a holiday does
not suffice to allay the apprehension.
Gen. Kuropatkin's report of the re-
suit of the days operations has
reached Emperor Nicholas at Tzerkoe
Selo, but it had not been returned here
before the war commission, which sat
only until $50 o'clock, adjourned. The
emperor himself is represented as be-
ing bitterly disappointed, and spend
ing hours with his cabinet, studying
out, with the help of his military aides,
the reports of the battle. The gen.
eral staff, however, by no means de-
spairs, though admitting that the tide
the last two days has been against
Gen. Kuropatkin, the general staff says
the battle is not yet over, and that il
any event there is no question of q
rout.

EXCITEMENT IN COPENHAGEN
1t is Caused By the Expected Pas
sage of the Russian Baltic Fleet
Through Danish Waters.

New York, Oct. 15.-Great excite
ment has been caused by the expected
passage of the Russian Baltic fleet
through Danish waters, says a Times
dispatch from Copenhagen. The largest
ships can only go through the Great
Belt, between Zealand and Funen
Islands.
A number of Danish pilots left sew
eral days ago for Reval and Libau,
There are rumors that japanese
agents have chartered neutral vessels
and are cruising in Danish waters in
order to watch the Russian fleet. In
order to secure respect for Denmark's
neutrality, the Danish cruiser Heimdal
and some torpedo boats have been Or
dered to put to sea.

ON A TRIP TO THE MOON.
Some of the Odd Things One Might
Come Across During Such
a Voyage.

How would you like to take a trip to
the moon? 1t would be a long journey,
taking more than six mouths if you
went with the speed of an express train;
or if you travelled with the swiftness of
ball from a modern cannon, it would
take about as long as a trip across the
Atlantic in a fast steamer, says the au-
thor of Mature and Science" in st.
Nicholas. Under average atmospheric
conditions, a large telescope gives up
q view of the moon as it would be with
out the telescope at a distance of 800
miles from us. :
The necessary outfit for the journey
must be much extensive than for
any trip on the earth, even the trip to
the north pole. There will be no chance
ito live off the country" In addition to
warm clothing and food you must carry
with you all you need to drink, and the
problem of keeping it from freezing or
thawing out if frozen will not be an easy
n to solve, There is practically no air
on the moon, and you must take along a
supply for breathing. If you expect to
make a fire and cook your dinner you
must take, in addition to fuel, an addi-
tional supply of air to keep your fire go
ing.
But suppose that in some way you are
landed on the moon with a supply OF
things necessary for sustaining life. If
you are on a part of the moon on which
the sun is shining, you will marvel, per-
haps, first Of all, at the dazzling brill
lance of the sunlight and the intense
blackness of the shadows. Everything
in the shade will be in almost total dark
ness. as there is no air filled with little
dust particles to scatter the sunlight so
that it may illuminate the places out of
the direct path of it's rays.
And what a sense of desolation will
present itself to your view! The Desert
of Sahara would look like a luxuriant
park in comparison with the lunar land
scape. Not a blade Of grass, not a tree,
or brook, or lake-nothing but a vast,
stony, silent desert. There are plains,
not quite as level as our western prairies
and great numbers of mountains, most
of them much sleeper than those on'the
earth; they are not grouped in long
ranges, as our terrestrial mountains gen.
orally are. but are scattered all over the
surface, singly and in irregular groups.
Most Of them are shaped more or less
like u terrestrial volcanoes, and they
probably were volcanoes ages ago, be-
fore the moon cooled off.
II you happen to land on a part of the
moon where it is early morning you
will have plenty of time for explorations
before night comes on. The sun rises
and sets as it does on earth, but the time
between sunrise and sunset is nearly Is
of III days. Then during the long
lunar night u earth will act like the
moon, and will light up that part of the
moons surface which is turned toward
it. Only there will be this curious diff
ference: it will not rise and set, but will
remain nearly stationary in the same
region of the sky. From the side of the
moon which is always turned away from
us the earth, of course, can never be
seen at all.

A SPITEFUL
Ship on Maine Coast That Was Sawed
in Two and Left by Own
ers to Rot.

The old spite boat" on the beach at
Grand Manan, Me-, is a striking illus
tration of how far the stubbornness Of
some people is carried. Rather. than
come to an agreement as to her value.
her joint owners decided to allow the
craft to rot on the beach, says the New
York Press.
The boat was the property of two
Canadian fishermen, who made a living
by catching pollock and cod in the
Bay of Fundy until a disagreement
arose. Then each wanted to buy the
interest Of the other in the little
schooner. This was a simple enough
proposition, it seemed, but the owners
could not agree upon the valuation for
the craft, and finally one Of them, Joe
Britt, proposed to take his half of the
boat and thus end the dispute.
How this vas to be done puzzled the
other partner and also the natives, but
it was made perfectly clear one day
when Britt appeared on the beach
armed with a big crosscut saw. The
other owner had agreed to 60
"halves," and Britt proceeded at once
to saw the boat in two, exactly amid
ships. 1t was slow work, but the saw
finally did the job, and the schooner lay
there, neatly severed in halves.
1t was supposed that each owner
would build another half upon his sec
ton, thus making for each a whole boat,
but they never have done SO, and to this
day the schooner lies in two halves, rot
ting away on the Grand Manan beach,
an object Of curiosity and a monument
to stubbornness.

POISON IN ALL THE SAMPLES
Wood Alcohol Found to Be Used rs

week, the coroner will take immediate
action.

Daniel Webster's Boots.

A retired Bath resident who was a
clerk in a Boston shoe store when a
lad tells the following story of Daniel
Webster. .
One morning the Bath boy, who had
to report early and sweep out the store
before the proprietor arrived, received
a call from Mr.. Webster. The noted
statesman was fitted with a new pair
Of shoes without any trouble by the
clerk, who considered it in honor to fit
a boot to Mr.. Webster. The old pair
was left in the store, and Mr.. Web
ster said he would call around later
and pay the proprietor. The clerk knew
that his chief was acquainted with
Mr.. Webster, and when the proprietor
arrived informed him of the sale with
q great deal Of pride.
The proprietor complimented the
Bath boy upon the sale, but closed with
the remark: 81 probably will never re-
ceive pay for the boots" and the sale
was charged up to the profit and loss

A CHANCE FOR INDIAN GIRLS.
A Proposition to Give Those Cana.
BILE n Chance to Acquire a
Higher Education.

st. Louis. Oct. 16.-SuperinteENent
S. M. MCGOWAN of the Indian scnool
at The Worlds fair, has received a
communication from G. A. Madison,
superintendent of the Rescue Mission
of Poughkeepsie, N. Y, in, which he
offers to grant a 50-room building for
use as q school for Indian girls of all
the United States Indian schools. His
plan is to offer those who have reached
advanced grades, or who have shown
talent in special lines, such as music,
art or %elocution, an opportunity to de-
velop these talents. He also offers
to give them scholarships in Vassar
college. Mr.. Madison stated that be-
fore his visit to the Indian school he
knew nothing of the Indians, and
looked upon them as human Texas
steers" incapable of eve becoming
educated, but since he has become an
Indian enthusiast, and would DO all
In his power to assist in opening the
door of opportunity to Indian girls.

RUSSIAN II e COMMENT.
Novosti Frankly Characterizes the
Battle as a Defeat.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 15.-There is
scanty comment in the morning pa
pers here upon the military situation.
The Novosti frankly ~characterizes it
as a defeat, basing its estimate on re-
ports from the front up to october II.
The paper says, however, that the de-
feat is by no means decisive, and
hopes for better news, and a further
advance before the battle ends.
The Russ says that while the retire
ment and loss of guns constitute an
unpleasant episode, it is only an cpl
sode. Gen. Kuropatkin's plan of bat
tie, the article adds, is too extensive
to be judged by a minor reverse to one
part of the line, and better news is
expected from the eastern flank, from
whence reports are yet meager, but
where most important operations are
proceeding.

THE KING IS DEAD
LONG LIVE THE king
King George Of Saxony Died al
Pillnitz Saturday Morning.
FREDERICK AUGUSTUS RElGNS
The Period of h Royal Mourning
Has Been Fixed to Cover Twen-
ty-FOur Weeks--Preparing
For the Funeral.

Dresden, Saxony, Oct. licking
George of Saxony died at Pillnitz early
Saturday morning, shortly after he had
designated Crown Prince Frederick
Augustus, husband of the clipping
Crown Princess Louise, to take up
the duties as king because of his seri-
Gus illness.
Prince John George and the Princess
Mathilde were at the bedside of King
George when he expired.
The new king. Frederick Augustus,
eldest son of the deceased monarch, re-
ceived the ministers and officers of the
royal household and fixed the period of
mourning at "a weeks. The king was
also occupied with many details of TAX
ing over the government and consult
ing in relation to the funeral and
mourning arrangements.
The shutters are up at all the shop
windows, flags are at half-mast and
the bells are tolling.
King George was born August 1882,
and succeeded his childless brother AL
bert two years ago, thus dispossessing
Queen Caroline. The state religion OF
Saxony is Catholic, but Queen Caro-
line was a Protestant princess, and the
birth of an heir to the throne might
have changed the religion of the state.
The family of King George is devoted
to the church of Rome, his eldest son,
Prince Macmillan being bishop of
Kuhn and being in addition a profess
sor in the University of Freyburg.
Frederick Augustus, crown prince OF
Saxony, who succeeds to the throne,
married the Archduchess Louisie OF
Austria, daughter of the grand duke of
Tuscany. The new king has the repu-
tation of being rather dull and heavy
witted. Like most of his family, he Is
q soldier pure and simple. He has
lived a life of one of his rank without
any serious scandal or without having
done anything particularly brilliant.
His greatest claim to fame, outside of
the fact that he was crown prince of
Saxony, has been that he was the hus-
band Of the clipping Princess Louise.
He has three children.
The new king was sincerely attached
to his wife, and it is regarded as not
at all impossible that some sort of a
reconciliation may be patched up be-
tween the two. 1t has more than once
been limited that only the irreconcila-
BILE opposition of the dead king has
prevented a reconciliation before this.
