Don't Sell Now Says W. p.
Brown.

New Orleans, Dec 5.--W. z.
Brown, the great Cotton klrg, has
issued an address over his sigma
ture to the planters, merchants
and bankers of the South, in
which he urges that those having
cotton refuse to sell at prices at
present, maintaining that the re-
cent decline in price Is unwarrent-
ed. He contends that the balance
OF this years cop should bllng
not less than 10 cents at the ports
and says that the only way to
bring this price is for the farmers
to hold, the merchants not to
force what they have on the mar
kets, and for the banks to stand
by the merchants and not force
them to sell.
He admits for the sake Of ar
gument that the crop Is 12,O0O,-
600. yet he does not believe the
crop will be that large, and argues
that consumption will be at least
II, 500, 600, leaving a small guam
ity to 60 into the mill reserves.
he urges all who arc interested
In the South and the South pros
perity to stand pat and refuse to
give away cotton at prices now
prevailing.

Ropes had been stretched from the

THIS MAN CAN'T SMOKE

Physicians in the Harlem hospital do
not like to think what would happen
to one of their patients if he should, in
a moment of thoughtlessness, attempt
to light a cigar. He has been cautioned
against such rash act, as he has an
artificial nose of celluloid, and the sur
geons are of the opinion that such a
proceeding would be attended with un-
| pleasant consequences.
Up to the present time they have
been unable to figure out freproof
device to protect the patient from harm
| in the event Of flames coming near
him. How the man came to lose his
nose is a secret he guards well.
In vain have the doctors endeavored
to solve the mystery that surrounds the
! identity of the patient. known only
as John Doe" he has been under
treatment at the institution for an
afflfctfon of the remaining section of
his proboscis. Pretending to be hard
of hearing, he has successfully parried
all of the surgeons questions concern
ing himself, and he has become known
in the hospital as ''the man of mys-
terry"
In the matter Of dress the man differs
from the usual patient who is treated
in the dispensary. His clothing is Of
good quality and he seems in prosper
Gus circumstances. At various times
he has shaken of the reticence that Is
one of his characteristics and he has
told the surgeons enough TO convince
them that he comes Of wealthy fam
lily. From what he has told them they
are led to believe that his home is in
Yonkers. de intinated that the reason
he selected the hospital for treatment
was because his friends were not likely
to discover him there, as the institution
is situated in an out Of the way quar-
ter. He visits the hospital at regular
intervals for treatment.
"The man is a puzzle to US ALL" said
one Of the surgeons yesterday. he
keeps his secret vel and none Of Us
has been able 70 learn anything about
him. 7 garner from the bits Of infor-
nation that he has told that he was
once an inveterate smoker. I believe +
he lost his nose as the result Of & dogs
bite. He has admitted that the cellu-
loid nose deprives him Of the enjoy
rnent Of q smoke, q fact which he
keenIy deplores. Il the man should At
tempt TO light 3 cigar with that arti-
fetal contrivance On his face II would
be disastrous. We have cautioned him
against such an act Of folly."-Ne"
