According to the woman's story she
was secretly married in St. Patrick's

riage to Mr.. Whitney is verified by her
mother, Mrs. Bradley, who afirms in
every particular the details as related

SAVED By A SPEECH,
Cotton Market Panic Stopped by a
Broker.

~~>sS'' ''s0' MI 0ItN 0IVRRSO Wy q
Broker.
:, New Orleans, Feb. Cotton was
thrown on the market yesterday in
such quantities that prices were de-
moralized. Brokers offered cotton. at
startling reductions. and men fought
to sell at any price. At the lowest
levels of the day prices were from 152
to 100 points lower than the highest
levels and about 3 cents lower than
what cotton was selling for at the first
of the week. At the height of the
turmoil when it looked as if the mar
ket must go to pieces, w. P. Brown
pleaded with the brokers to stop offer
ing their cotton Is and 20 points un-
der the market Brown followed his
plea by heavy bidding and buying. In
a few minutes other longs followed
his lead. In a short time comparative
quiet reigned and prices showed a
material recovery, although the mar
ket had weak tone up to the close.

COLD BATHS AND TAKING COLD
Don't Begin In the Cold Plunge Habit
at This Season.

at This Season.
The reason most persons who try
to take cold baths in the winter take
cold" said a man who takes, his bath
straight from the Croton reservoir. via
the tap, every morning, sis that they
don't know how to go about it. They
don't begin early enough. 1t is no use
for a man who feels the invigorating
eject of cold plunge when he goes to
Turkish bath about this time to
make up his mind that cold water is
good enough for him the rest of the
winter. He should have begun to
think of that in October, taking a cold
plunge, shower or sitz every morning
that he was able to get out of bed.
IF a man has given up cold baths
for week or two it is little use for
him to take it up again this winter.
Better start in next spring and per-
sist. Then by next winter he will
probably not take cold, no matter how
much exposed. He is the man you will
find riding on the outside platforms of
the elevated cars in the coolest wealth
er, and who always rides near the door
in the trolley cars New York Press.
