Cotton Growers Convention.

The action Of tho cotton growers con
vention of tho State in resolving to hold
cotton Tor n price OF ten cents is, in our
Judgment, rot unreasonable or unjust.
We hope tho farmers of tho South will
hold their cotton for the figures ma amcd,
and if they will hold on to it thoy can
get it. We do not regard ten cents as
too high prco for cotton under present
conditions. We are glad, though that
the convention did not follow tho lead of
tho gasful IIarvio Jordan, of Goorgia,
and talk about twolvc-ccnt cotton.
Twelve cents is too high this ycar--the
cotton is not actually worth it--and aii
talk of that kind does harm rather than
good, in that it stirs up a spirit of antag-
onism whon co operation and support
arc needed. Hard, common sonso is q
mighty fino thing, in farmers conven-
tions a s well as in everything else. An

TURN TAKEN
IN CHADWICK CASE
Bankruptcy Proceedings Brought By
a New York Merchant.
NO STATEMENT FORTHCOMING
story In Circulation That h Con
templates Leaving For Europe,
But This Is vigorously Denie
By Her Counsel.

New York, Dec. 3.-The interest In
the affairs of Mrs. Cassie L. Chad
wick, of Cleveland, took a new turn
late Friday, when a dispatch from
Cleveland announced that bankruptcy
proceedings had been brought against
her by Thomas Krakauer, a new York
merchant, with an establishment on
Fifth
Mr.. Krakauer, in an interview Fri
day night, said that Mrs. Chadwick
had been a customer in his establish
ment for some time, but he had not
instructed his Cleveland attorney to
take action against her.. He said:
Il simply followed my usual busi-
Tess custom of having my Cleveland
attorneys look after my interests"
Mrs. Chadwick's movements were
also q subject of much interest, and
when she left the Holland house,
where she has been living, and went
to the Central Trust Co. building in
Wall street, her appearance attracted
CTOWuS Ol pcOple.
The result of her visit in Wall street
was not announced, but it is known
she called on a firm of lawyers there.
There was a story in circulation that
Mrs. Chadwick contemplated leaving
for Europe Saturday. Relative to this,
Philip Carpenter, one of her counsel
said that his ceilnt would not leave
for Europe, and added:
"In fact, she will not leave this
country until every dollar of her in
d%ebtedness has been paid"
Mr.. Carpenter also made the state
ment that Mrs. Chadwick is a very
wealthy woman" and amply able tc
care for all the claims against her"
Mrs. Chadwick was in consultation
Friday afternoon with the firm of But
Ter, hoffman, Joline & Mynderse, law
yers of Wall street. 1t was stated or
good authority that this firm has beer
Mrs. Chadwick's counsel in this city fol
a number of years, and n Of her law
yers said that the fact that the firm
had done business for a promineni
millionaire, whose name has appeared
in connection with notes in this case
was simply a coincidence.
1t was also stated that no money OF
securities had been passed in the New
ton suit, but that Mr.. Newton haG
been given assurances as to a settle
ment, and that the money woul(
probably be passed within a few days
There were stories current to the eff,
feet that there had been a hitch in the
settlement of the Newton suit, but
these stories could not be confirmed.

SERMON WAS A WINNER.
Such a Good One the Parson Was Re-

the Loan of It.

At a dinner to the archbishop of Can

Enquirer, Bishop Chauncey Breyster, of
Connecticut, decried self-praise.
is there anything tanner" he said,
than to hear a man praise himself-than
to hear a judge praise a decision he has
Just made, or a surgeon praise an appen-
dix operation he has performed, or a cler-
gyman praise a sermon he has preached?
Let me tell you about a certain self
praising clergyman.
AT a dinner similar to this one he be-
gan to talk of his own e~loquence. He
talked of it a long time. Finally he de-
scribed a sermon wherewith he had
raised enough money to build a %lnagnifi-
cent new church.
He said that this sermon had thrown
the congregation into a transport of liber-
ality. From all sides of the auditorium
there had resounded announcements of
subscriptions of 81 900, of $1,000, even of
S 5000. Women had advanced to the altar
and thrown in their watches, their rings,
and their bracelets. One young woman
had even
But here a distinguished bishop inter
rupted. He bent forward and tapped the
speaker on the shoulder.
Gould you lend me that sermon?' he

Little Band of Thespians Weep Over
Bier of Dead. Actress.
Contrast to the Many Stirring
Events of Her Past Life.

New York, Dec. "a little band OF
actors gathered in the chape lof an
undertaker's establishment, Friday, to
take part in the funeral service over
the body Of Madam Francesca Ro-
mana Januschek, once a noted actress,
who died last Wednesday in a home
on Long Island. The very simple GER
emony was in marked contrast to the
many stirring events of her long life.
1t consisted of the reading of brief
service of the Roman Catholic church,
and an eulogy by Milton Mobiles, a
member of the executive committee
Of the Actors fund, which cared fer
Nine. Januschek's comfort in her dy-
ing years.
In the course of his address Mr..
Mobiles said:
IF another object lesson were need
ed to impress upon US the ephemereal
quality of that substanceless some
thing which We call fame, here it lies.

ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE
For New York Central & Hudson River
Railroad Company.
The New York CentraPs New High
Speed OF Ton Electric Locomotive


The most powerful electric locomotive
ths New York Central & Hudson River
Railroad in the shops Of the General Elec-
trio Company and the American Locomo-
tive Works at Schenectady, N. Y.
This locomotive is one of between thirty
and fifty which will be used by the Rail
road Company for hauling the through
passenger trains within its Electrical, Zone
from Grand Central Station through the
Park Avenue tunnel to Croton on the
Main Line, a distance Of "a miles, ana TO
White Plains on the Harlem dlvlslon, q
distance of "a miles.
This will be the heaviest steam railway
passenger service which has ever been
handled by electric locomotives. With
one of these locomotives trains OF ten or
more cars will be hauled at expires speed
of 60 to 70 miles per hour, and the de-
sign and method of control are such that
two or more locomotives can be coupled
together and operated by a single en-
gineer from the leading cab, so that the
size of the train that may be under the
control of one engineer is practically I'M
limited so far as the question of motive
power.
In general design the locomotive is dou'
BILE ended and symmetrical In construc.
ton, so that it can be run in either direc.
ton with equal facility.
Mounted on the main frame of the To-
connective is the steel cab in three divisions,
in which are located the various devices
for operating the locomotive. The loco,
motive is equipped for both straight and
automatic air braking, signaling devices,
bell, whistle, headlights, a~lr-sending de-
vice, electric air compressor, etc, being as
complete in every way with respect to OPP
Grating devices as a steam locomotive.
