CAST-IR0N AGREEMENT.
Big Holdings Bought In and the
Plans of the Boomers Helped
by Large Exports-Pool Bro
kers Busy in the Market.

Daniel J. suily and Col. William P.
Brown have cornered tho cotton market
absolutely according to the best of au-
thorfty.
They have such q grip upon the mar
tet that II they wished to they could
hoost prices to 20 cents before the week
u over.
They have let the general public and
the traders believe that they were at
war. while for ten days they have been
working with one end in view, a cor
ner. They have accomplished that end
and can now move prices as they see
at.
On Saturday and Tuesday Mr.. Sully,
according TO good Judges upon the floor
of the Cotton Exchange, bought at least
100000 bales. The New Orleans crowd
n the Liverpool end of the combina-
ton have also been heavy buyers. and
as a result Liverpool prices advanced
sharply after the opening this morning.
The bulls rave been helped by the
large exports Of the crop. The exports
yesterday had reached 4.s73,4 $50 bales, or
almost one-hslf of the total crop. That
leaves but half a crop, and Of this half
at least half has been used In manu-
sactures, DO that there is little of the
old crop left comparatively. and with
the two big bull cliques heavy buyers
II is probable that they own a couple OF
million bales from which the shorts
must buy in order to make their de-
Iveries.
Twenty-Cent Cotton.
Mr.. sully some weeks ago preached
Decent cotton. and It looked as II 20
cents would be reached. for futures ad-
vanced to IS cents and then came the
disagreement between the leaders n
Dir. Sully' sold out as quickly as posy
aible.
Then the market was forced up again
and Col. Brown sold and there was a
break. A house divided against itself
can not keep prices up, 50 the friends
who had become enemies got together
and mad an iron-clad agreement
which Is now in working order and
ready to do with prices as they please.
May and July are the months that they
are devoting their attention to.
Mr.. Sully had intended to make n fly
sng trip to Chicago on Monday. but
matters so shaped themselves that he
decided to remain here to manage his
new campaign. There Is a general belief
among cotton brokers to-day that the
cot on market will soon be even more
excited and in a more demoralized state
than 1t has been at any time since Mr..
Sully and Col. Brown became the kings
OF the cotton pit.

His Homo Folks AstonIshed

1t takes a man from Missouri to
realize the decadence of the national
democracy. When the party Of JEFF
ferson, Jackson and Tilden has to
fall back on "Chump" CLARK of Mis-
souri,, to preside over the national
convention and act as speech maker
in chief in notifying its candidate
for president, the stark significance
of it, to such as know "Chump," is
enlivened only by his terrific threat
at a Chautauqua meeting, to cut the
throat of a person who interfered
with his continuity of thought.
This circumstance has caused
needlessly, mild sensation, though
what should have strrtled the Amer
ican people went unappreciated, ex-
cept in Missouri, where "Chump's''
pretention to ability to cut full
grown mans throat is known to be
quite as absurd as his supposed
qualifications to act as a national
democratic leader.
Down in Missouri, where CLARK
has always been known familiarly as
"Chump," it is we'll known that il
the man, whose throat he offered to
cut, had accepted the mortal chal-
lenge, the orator would have escsp-
ed the dire extremity, if be had been
obliged to lose all his clothes in get
ting way.
He does have a large flow OF
words, so large, indeed, that his
home folks are obliged to send him
to congress, to avoid disastrous verb
al floods, but they never had any
idea that no would become figure

HON. for Aged Master M..on..

The Masons of Pennsylvania will
erect and maintain a home for Master
Nasons. their widows. and children.
It will be placed near the central part
of the state-perhaps at Cresson. the
once famous mountain resort. To the
support OF this home will come the
full aid Of the Grand Lodge of the
state. This support was pledged at
the quarterly communication Of the
Grand Lodge in the Masonic Temple.
The plan to have a central Masonic
Home originated with the present
Grand Master. Edgar A Tennis. 1t
IL believed that the managers of the
Aasonic Home of Pennsylvania, who
now control the home on North
Broad street. and who have charge Of

port the proposition to have a central

Tho Big Revival.

As an evidence of what the big tent

letter from Rev. Conrad Bluhn. the
Presbyterian pastor at La Junta, will
be read with interest. The meetings
are to commence In Lamar, Sept. 4th.

Lv JUNrA, AUG. 1901.
DEAR PURCELL:
congratulate Lamar on the prospect
OF the great revival. Here in La Juuta
We began operations with no small
skepticism. We thought the farmers
too busy, too many workers away on va
cation, of the heat of summer aud the
general indifference Of the churches.
ing tor La Junta that the present gener-
alton will not soon forget.
About l50 decisions cards were signed
to which should be added at least fifty
more of persons who decided for Christ
and the church but who did not choose
to take their stand publicly at that time.
They will come this autumn.
We feared the expense item, but when
the meetings began the money poured
in easily and abbundantly. The cam
paign of nearly a month cost us about
5000, but much of that was extraordin-
ary. While it was a season Of grace it
was also period of unusual storm.
Tent repair, extra labor, prodigal use of
printers ink to post the people, theee
aud other items ran up our figures We
found that money was no obstacle. Had
Smiley remained one more week We
could easily have doubled the revenue
had it been necessary. \ pleasing fact
also is that most of this money remained
In town and found its way into the pock-
cts of our dealers and toIlers. The
movement. then, that intensified and ex-
panded our religious life also increased
and expanded ocr religious also increas-
business.
The audiences here were increasingly
large. The total attendance was just
10000 people. People came from far,
and huge wagon loads came down from
Rocky Ford some OF whom returned
converted. The largest crowd was on a
Saturday night when 800 people came
to hear lecture on dancing Be sure
to request Smiley to talk on cards and
the dance when with you. Both the
pros and cons here are still applsudinS
