dinners Report,

The posting Of the ginners' report
from the Census Bureau at II
O'Clock this morning caused a slun
in cotton that even Mr.. Hyde's re-
port did not equal when it was made
on the Sd of December. The actual
figures of the report showed II, 848,
259 bales. Altogether there are S19
counties to hear from, therefore 50
counties are not included in the
present report.
The stampede about the ring was
scarcely less than it was when the
Sully failure let loose a bunch Of
bombs that blew many skyward.
The Stun of the Hyde report was
not so great on December Sd as was
the SUM caused by the ginners'
report today.
The farmers through their repre-
sentatives in Washington have al
ready set on foot plans to inyesti,
gate the reports made by Mr.. John
Hyde of the Agricultural Depart
ment. What they will do with Mr..
North, the director of the Census
Bureau, therefore ought to be
plenty.
But there is probably now not the
slightest doubt left of the fact that
the present crop will be the greatest
in all the history of cotton Instead
of there being a crop of -, 10000
bales, there are many among the
bulls even now ready to concede a
$4,000 600 bale crop or more
Within the past three months cotton
has declined in price $50 a bale,
yet those who first took their cotton
to market in many instances hauled
it back home because they could
not get 10 cents a pound, although
they were offered more than 9 cen $.
II there are to he better prices it
would seem now that the planters
have got to perfect their organization
for holding cotton in such a WAY
that they can literally throw it on
the market as a single bale, or else
submit to prices that are far below
the cost of pIoduction.-Ne Or
leans States.

EYE STRAIN AND ILL-HEALTH

From the New York World.
 Is .seye strain the chief physical foe of genius? ~
 In his new volume of "Biographic Clinics" Dr. Gould makes further in quiries into the maladies of men of genius He is more than ever convinced that Carlyle, Huxley, Darwin and other great men owed their ill-health solely to eye strain.
 To this he attributes "nigraine" and ''brain fag' and all the disordered diges- tlons and huge depressions and remorses of the special children of genius.
 Melancholy morbidity and despair are the confessed results of 'migraine.'" In fourteen patients-most of the great lit- erary figures of the nineteenth cenutry- he finds headache. insomnia, bilious ness. sick headache, nervousness, inde- scribable suffering, inability to do liter ary work without producing these symp- toms."
 Dr. Gould pleads for scientific spectacles as the only remedy for an over-strung civilization. "One of the greatest of Flu ropean men, with a splendid equipment, physical and ntellectual-Nietzsche," he says, was finally driven into insanity simply because he had not a scientific pair of spectacles.

Hack-woundlng calumny The whItest virtue strikes.
 Measure for Measure.
Brlnn Back the Wanderers.

Today four democratic conventions will be held--in Georgia, Nebraska, Michigan and Oklahoma. On Thurs day the convention of Wyoming will be held. The anti-Parker forces ex- pect to control the conventions of Nebraska, Oklahoma and Wyoming. The Parker men hope to control the Georgia convention. The Michigan convention may be friendly to Parker, but the indications are that the dele gation from that state will go to St. Louis uninstructed
 If any instructions are given to dele gates this week, it will be done in Georgia, where Parker propaganda has been at work several weeks. In Atlanta the zeal to get into the Par ker bandwagon has been so great that two rival and antagonistic Parker clubs, known respectively as No. and No. 2, became necessary.
 The convention should address It. self to one task yonly, namely, the selection of nominee who will recall to the fold every wandering dem- ocrat. Everything done in the con yention should be subordinated to this task The nominee should be his own platform, and a man Is wanted that will command as enthusiastic support m Nebraska as in New York. Such a man can be found, and the delegates will fall short of their high respon. sibility If they cast vote or say a word which will initiate against the selection of a man who can solidify the party.

IN HOTEL LoBBIES
WldIey Quoted Paper.

IT a person were to ask you offhand if you had ever seen a copy of the Harda- man Free Press you would probably an- swer without hesitation that you never had. and yet this little Tennesse paper Is widely quoted and 1t is hard to pick up a journal published in the south that does not contain a paragraph now and then credited to the Hardaman Free Press said a gentleman last night. 'rhe papers of Tennessee. Kentucky. the Caro- linas, Virginia. Arkansas. Mississippi and Louisiana quote the Free Press fre- quently and all because the editor of that paper is a humorist whose fun is infect uous and is phrased so originally that 1t never fails to create a laugh
 The HardamanN Free Press Is not great paper and there is some doubt as to whether Hardaman is on the map but It's eforts to make life brighter by drolI comment or satirical remarks couched in language that is anything but elegant Is appreciated. Nc doubt the funy man of the Hardaman Free Press could dis tlnguish himself on some of the larger papers of the country but he probably ap- preciates the glorious freedom of the country editor too much to make change"

Improvements at Depot.

T notice that a much needed improve ment has peer made at the Union passen- ger station" said a travelling man last night. Ticket windows have been opened facing the mems waiting room and the women's waiting room, so that 1t will now be possible to purchase tickets without participating in a frantic scramble to get within reach of the ticket agent. These windows are spacious and make an inn provement that will be greatly appre- ciatel by the travelling public Heretofore people who wanted tickets were forced to buy them at the front window in the vestibule between the two waiting rooms and the main entrance of the statlon The space is small and was nearly all ways crowded. When travel was un- usually heavy 1t was almost impossloie for A woman without escort to push her way up to the window.
 while the new ticket windows come to fill a long felt want, what the town really needs is larger passenger sta ton. However, I suppose that will come in course of time and we will have to be satisfied with the present arrangement a while longer until our flock of sky scrapers is augmented"

column, and back of him are thou sand men led by General Macdonald. who has the advantage of machine guns and magazine rifles. Several bat ties have been fought, the Tibetans coming out each time the loser.
 The Tibetans are so hostile that the British government has determined to maintain communication with the ad- vance force. Colonel Reid has been ordered to keep open line of retreat, and to that end he is to have all the men he may need, and also all the artillery he can use, and plenty of boatmen for service on the Sangpe river. Doubtless this means that the Dalai Lama is to be compelled to treat with Great Britain, to permit a Brit ish resident to live in L'Hassa. and to give over all leaning towards Rus sia. Tibet may in other words, be- come buffer state, but 1t will not be permitted to drift into the condition Of Russian dependency.
 This movement at the western end of China is scarcely less important than the Japanes effort to drive the Russians out of Manehuria. The fate of war seems to favor China. Russia was preparing to detach from China both Tibet and Manchuria, and if the war efforts of England in Tibet and of the Japanese in Manchuria are crowned with success China may be safeguarded through the present cen tury, when she will probably be able to defend herself Instead of dismem- berment the chances now favor the integrity of China, and the new China will recognize the open door. All of Americas interests lie in the maintenance of China without a frac- ture of any sort.

TAKES SHOT AT BELMONT. (
Some One Writes Murphy That Rail
 road Lobby Aided Parker in Ala.

Special to the New York World.
 Atlantic City, N J.-Charles F. Mur- phy followed up his tactics of making Au- gust Belmont the target in his fight on Judge Parker by giving out tonight let ter charging Belmont with using the pow erful lobby of the Louisville X Nashville railroad to coerce the Tennessee and Ala bama conventions into instructlng for Judge Parker on Wednesday.
 The letter was one written to Murphy by some one, said to be man of prom- hence in New York. but whose name he could not divulge. Murphy made it pub lie after a hurried clandestine trip to New York Refusing to discuss Mir. Bel monts reply to him, printed in the World today he gave to the orlds cores pondent the letter in question with the remark:
 Here's something that may be inter- estng in Alabama and Tennessee"
 The letter from which the superscrip- tion and signature had been cut off dealt with the democratic convention in Ala bama and Tennessee which instructed for Parker Wednesday and was as follows:
 'It was accomplished through Belmont who gave orders from here to every off, cial of the Louisville & Nashville railroad to bring every influence to bear. This railroad runs through nearly every section of Alabama and has very powerful lob by. I am told that the same situation contributed to the result in Tennessee. I have read with great deal of pleasure your remarks on the subject of the Bel mont brand of democracy within the last day or so. With very kind regards, etc.
 Not a word" said Mir Murphy when asked to make some comment on this letter. q have said all that I have to say about MT. Belmont now No more on that
 His manner plainly indicated however, that he would have considerable to say later. It is his plan to make Belmont his principle target.

Baseball Fever High.

"Just now baseball fever in Birming- ham is higher than have ever seen 1t before," said a fan yesterday. Ihe good showing made by the Barons on their trip away from home together with the predictions freely made in several Of the league cities that Birmingham and New Orleans stand the best chance of winning the pennant, has set the fanatics wild with joy. The baseball matinee Is proving a Mecca for enthusiasts to go to hear the game in detail and others who are not enthusiastic enough to part with a quarter content themselves with mak- ing life miserable for newspaper men by their questions
 "If Birmingham succeeds in finishing in third place I believe that the people will be satisfied, although 1t Is interesting to speculate how many different kinds of heart disease would result should the Coal Barons end the race in first place.

Oregon Speaks Next Week.

On Monday next, June 6, the first test of public sentiment will take place. for at that time Oregon will elect some minor state officers, a leg. islature and two congressman. At present the far-away state has a democratic governor, but its two con gressmen are republicans, and the state has gone as a rule republican since 1872, the exceptions have been few and far between.
 Senator Fulton and other republican leaders in Oregon are anticipating a republican plurality next Monday of twenty thousand, and no effort will be spared to boom on that occasion the administration and the candidacy of Theodore Roosevelt. The importance of a vindication just before the meet ing of the national convention is fully appreciated by MT. Roosevelts sup porters, and no stone will be left un- turned to secure It. The republican convention meets only two weeks and a day later. Oregon Is to be worked both as a vindicatlon and a Popular Demand.
 Oregon has of late been disturbed by series of land frauds which the government has not followed up and unearthed How far those frauds by government officials will go in the election of next week remains to be seen. The state Is at times cratic politically, and despite the superior activity and resources of the republi- cans, interesting news may come next week from the shores of the Pacific.
 Governor Chamberlain's plurality in 1902 was but 276, while McKinley's in 1900 was 13,141. The democrats have not carried the state in presidential year in a generation, but as rule the republican pluralities have not been heavy The vote of the state next Monday will be closely studied and analysed. The pluralities of th5 present congressman were about 16, 900, and any plurality below that total is a democratic gain.

SHE DRESSED TO TALK.
Little Orphan Would Not Use Phone Till She Put on Sunday Clothes.

From the Selma Times.
 An amusing little incident occurred a day or so ago, when the telephone to the Summerfeld Orphans home was finished Mrs. Sims called up the home and after talking to different children called the name of a certain little tot and asked that she. be brought to the phone so she could converse with her.
 When the little one was told that Mrs Sims wanted to talk to her she was greatly delighted and said she wauld go and dress herself before she talked to Mrs. s.. as she did not want to appear before her in everday apparel. They tried to explain to her that Mrs. Sims was In Selma and wanted to talk over the phone. but arguments were of no avail, and off to her room she went and dressed in 'her best bib and tucker" even putting on a pair of little slippers that some one had given her, and after washing her face and combing her hair and tieing it with piece of ribbon, she came back and said she was now ready to talk to Mrs. Sims.
 It took the child about half an hour to get her Sunday clothes on, and the other children, who understood what 1t was to talk over phone, were greatly amused she came tipping to the phone all dress ed up.
 It was a pretty little ipcident, all the same. if the other children did have ht- tie fun at her expense.
