Russell Sage's Money .

C Russell Sage has surprise in store For us. When asked the other day what disposition he intends to make of his estate, conservatively estimated at $50. GOO, GOO. he replied: Wait fill I'm dead; there will be more man one person surprised" We do not gather from this that more than one person is going to be surprised be- cause MT Sage is dead, but because he will make such noble contributions to humanity as to justify his frugal lnn- cheons and close supervision of his loose c-ange, thereby giving the lie to
 the nessinMstic conclusion that the good that men do is buried with their bones. Should Mir Sage's fortune be equally divided among us we would each receive little more than S2. but we have no reason to suppose that he intends to surprise us in precisely thai Svay. The old gentleman Is now IT his 9sth year, and we trust that ne will live many years to enjoy the blessings of this merry life. At the game time. it has occurred to us that if our estimable millionaires would De a little more benehcent while they are vet on earth, their taking off would not partake so freely of the elements of joyous surprise.-Chicago Evenlns Post

MRS. MAVERICK AT TRURO
Hidden in SisterkoOd.-Under Careful
 Watch..Idsntity Known.

Mrs Maybrfck is serving the last Few months of her sentence for the killing of her husband in the quiet country home of the Sisters of the EEpiphany, at Truro, Cornwall, under an assumed name, and with her iden- tity completely hidden. She occupies pleasant, simply furnished room in the home, and rises at o'clock each morning. Though free agent in many ys,ishe is obliged to conform to the strict discipline of the convent She takes her meals in Sile lce, and is not allowed to converse except upon religious topics during the day, and at tea time, when for an interval. the Sisters are permitted to talk of mum dane things, Mrs. MaybriclS retires to her own room. She must be in bed by 3 o'clock. No newspapers are allowed her, and only such books as are given her by the Sisters f ~..
 For part of the day Mrs Maybrick works in silence in the sewing room with the Sisters, who make all their own clothing. Sunday she attended ser vice in the Truro cathedral, and has been allowed to walk about the town, accompanied by one of the Sisters until she is released next July. Many members of the English aristocracy are inmates of the home. The Mother Superior of the sisterhood Is the Hon Miss nalrymple, while several other Sisters under only their Christian names conceal we'll known patrony- mics. a-s.--.
 The Sisterhood of the Epiphany con stantly receives within it's walls titled women, who wish to find a temporary rest from the world in religious re- treat, and hence Mrs Maybrick's ar rival caused no comment. She was driven from the Truro railway station fo the home in Miss Dalrymple's pri- wate carriage, and remained in strict ancognito for nearly fortnight, The acting Mother Superior Is one of the few who knew of the identity of the visitor, and who carefully guards her from all interviewers. This Sister ab- solutely refuses to convey a letter or 8 message to Mrs Maybrick from the representative of the Associated Press
 A rescue home for fallen girls and a laundry for their employment is car ried on in connection with the Fpiph- any convent. Until now the Sisters who knew of Mrs Maybrick's identity have evaded inquiries regarding hel by stating that she was not In the res cue home. which is correct, as Mrs Maybrick has nothing to do with thlE Nenartment of the convent.

Lighters, With Ammunition For Jfm-
 Ines, Shelled by Gunboat.
 MONTE CRISTI, Santo Domingo, Feb. 1O.-The Clyde line steamer New York, from New York, arrived here early in the morning. followed by the Dominican gunboat Presidente. Light CTS were sent alongside the New York to bring ashore some ammunition which formed part of her cargo. When the lighters had nearly reached the steamer, the gunboat fired on them and the revolutionists on shore replied with cannon and Mausers.
 The New York. being in danger, thersupon left Monte Cristi for Puerto Plata. The firing continued for half an hour, after which the gunboat sail ed for Puerto Plata. She was hit twice by round shot and apparently by hun dreds of bullets, for she stopped and lowered boats, evidently to plug the holes made in her hull.
 The failure to land the ammunition is serious blow to General Jiminez for whom it was intended, and may cause him to lose the ground he has already gained. An attack on Santi' ago de los Caballeros had been fixed for Sunday.
 The German steamer Altenburg call cd here, but the revolutonists did not permit her to discharge her cargo.

Cron Comm emf.


The weather during the past week
has been mostly fair, although Thurs
day and yesterday were rainy. A
heavy rain fell late Thursday night,
and yesterday afternoon the precipita-
ton was greater in proportionate
length of time than for many months.
The harvesting of the rice and cotton
crops is progressing fagorably, and
sugar cane continues - improve its
already excellent condition.
At the Lemann Company's Peytayin
gin IS bales had been handled up to

few days. The gin was started again
Wednesday
Out il the eastern portion of the
parish the cotton is being gathered as
fast as possible with the labor at hand.
There are caterpillars in the vicinity
of Gonzales, but not enough to damage
old cotton. The Lena B. gin OF Con
zales Bros. has ginned about 800
bales, while Picard & Geismar' Rescue
gin has gotten away with about $50.
There has been no rain to amount to
ANYTHING in that section for a couple
of weeks.
Louis Dehon's Donaldsonville gin
las turned out about So bales up to
date.
On the sugar plantations every
thing is fine and the planters are con-
templating with satisfaction the pros
poets for a big and juicy crop. Many
improvements are being made and all
the houses will be in tip-top shape by
the time the season opens.

Business in New Orleans.

| The following excerpts from Dun S
Review of Sept. II, showing general
| and market conditions at New Orleans,
| will prove of interest:
General Conditions-Jobbers in all
| lines report good volume of trade.
| The movement of merchandise is large
| and the volume Of business is quite
satisfactory and fully up to what it
was a year ago. With some houses
and in some lines sales are running
considerably in excess of year ago.
| Collections are slow and very little
money is expected until cotton begins
to move freely. Retail trade has been
| only fair.
| Money-The money market is ste ady;
rates are frmer and the demand good.
| Banks still hold ample funds for pres
| ent requirements.
Cotton-Reeeipts ofcotton since Sept.
| 1, 1904, are 305, 1873 bales, against
| SO, $40 bales for the corresponding
| period last year. Local stocks are
81, S02 bales. Stocks at all ports are
| 20, 1856 bales, against 35, 096 bales last
year. Early in the week cotton ad-
vanced owing to unfavorable crop re-
ports, but the market has reacted and
closes rather weak, with quotations
| about on a level with what they were
a week ago. The movement of cotton
| for export has been good, there has
| been a good demand for spot cotton,
but prices have not been maintained.
The decline in spot cotton is SIG
cents.
Rice-Receipts OF rough rice for this
season were 2T2, 322 sacks, against
23l, 0l6 for the same time last year. Re
| ceipts OF clean rice were SO. 210 pockets,
against 4,1lO last year. Offerings of
the better grades Of rough rice met
with ready sale, but the greater por-
ton of the offerings were of a COM
paratively poorer quality, ana prices
continue low. Clean rice was in fairly
good demand, with the better grades
scarce. Low and medium grades con-
tinue easy and sales moderate. Dan
Talmage's Sons report the Louisiana
movement thus far as follows: Re
ceipts 331, $50 sacks rough, against
234 10 sacks last year, and sales OF
132, 665 pockets cleaned, compared with
lOl, TO pockets In 1908.

Two to One ON Roosevelt.

A special New FORK despatch to the
New Orleans Picayune, dated Sept.
20, says that ION the Broad street
curb today w. J. Gallagher bet J. ].
Judge Sl00 to $40 that Roosevelt will
be elected These are the greatest
odds yet given in Wall street on
Roosevelt since the campaign began.
In big bets the odds continue to rule
at Two to one on Roosevelt. -
The gentle democratic reader will
please bear in mind that this is the
quotation of a special report to a
newspaper Of unquestioned democratic
orthodoxy and status, hence there can
be no claim made that the information
contains any republican bias.
It should be further remembered
that these keen and cold-blooded Wall
street bettors base their investments
on their judgment, not their sympathy,
and that they rarely fail to s'call the
turn.'' We doubt if there is an in
stance on record where the result of a
national election has discredited the
foresight of the spectators who set
the race for wagering big odds in the
principal betting centres Of the country
on one Or the other of the contending
tickets.
No stronger or more reliable in
dication of the prospective triumph
Of the republicans at the approaching
election can be cited than the fact
that the prevalent odds in the Wall
street betting are two to one on Roose-
Welt
