Frenchmen and Dominican Soldiers
 Use Flag to Reach san Domingo i In Safety.

Washington, February 26.-In report to Rhe navy department concerning his re- cent visit to the insrugent generals out side the limits of Santo Domingo City, Ensign H. T. Brinser relates an inter- view which he had with General Arios who was at the head of the revolutionary forces of that section in which the lat ter made the serious charge that French men and Dominican soldiers were using the American flag to reach San Domingo in safety. In his report MT. Brinser says:
 .Then Gen. Arios complained about boats coming In here flying the American flag, for instance, the French boats com ling in with Dominican soldiers flying the American flag, and during that time the government forces were firing upon the reve.utionlsts, and they could not fire back. General Arios said that our boats could get in at any time and that he would not fire on them.

COTTON MARKET WAS SPECTACULAR Hayne Bids for 50,000 Bales
 of March COUNTRY IS HOLDING ON General Feeling Is That They Don't Want to Let Their Cotton
 Go at the Present
 Prices.
COUNTRY IS HOLDING ON

New Orleans, February 26.-The cot ton market had a spectacular effect to- day although there was nothing artificial about the trading. Part ot the time val ues lifted themselves on the sheer strength of the statictical position and part of the time they were advanced by heavy buying on the part of the lead ing bulls who bid March up to 1416 or 16 points above today's quotations for mid ding spot cotton. March is now a spot month and therefore 1t Is argued, spots are worth more than they are quoted at.
 The market opened steady and from 22 to g points up on the near months. The trading that characterized the mar ket lately held good again today. At no time were prices anywhere near the closing prices of yesterday. At the close they showed net gain of 60 to 6S points in March, May and July.
 Bulls Are Kept Busy.
 The bulls were kept busy keeping close watch on the movements of their opponents At one time Hayne bid for 900 bales of March This was in the face of the fact that sellers of March may deliver the actual stuff on contracts within five days time under the rules of the cotton exchange.
 The week insight figures were extreme ly bullish and the movement to ports for the day was light. This attracted many buying orders. In the earlier hours the market looked over-sold but this was relieved to some extent by covering by shorts
 Although the advances for the day were wide, the close was quiet and steady and the rise in prices was re- garded as wholly legitimate when the statistical position and the growing de- mand from spinners were taken into con- sideration.
 Spot Market a Surprise.
 The spot market was something of surprise. Many expected an advance of three-eighths of cent, but quotations were marked up one-half. Sales were 4,550 bales. Of this amount 4.250 bales were from factors tables. Not bale of fob. cotton being sold. This was taken as an indication that the country Is not disposed to sell at present prices. It was also stated by factors. that sales would have been doubled had they been will ing to part with their holdings at the ad- vance of the day. As 1t was, they were looking for higher prices

NOTES HERE AND THERE.

Mrs Thomas Hitchcock, Jr., one Of the first American horsewomen to ride astrlde' would not think of again using the side saddle. It is her experience that the cross seat affords a more perfect balance and poise, is safer and more comfortable for both horse and rider, and she believes that it is only fear of cutting ridicu- lous figure that keeps the true horse woman from assuming the cross seat writes the Sportswoman in the Illustrated News. Many women are in favor of the change, but have not sufficient courage to appear in public in this as yet unor- thodox manner; still they feel it to be merely a question of time when It will be the only way. As young girl Mrs. Hitch cock was noted for her devotion to the various forms of sport participated in by her brothers, and the spirit of emulation thus fostered has placed her well to the fore as a representative sportswoman. When in the saddle she has all the ap- pearance of a graceful youth of sixteen, her dark hair being coiled beneath her broad sombreno. A bit of red at the throat finishes off her costume, which consists of a loose belted blouse and either knickerbockers of divided skirt. Little did Anne of Bohemia, consort of Richard H., realize in 1341 for how much she would be responsible. Naturally the prej- udces of five and half centuries are not easily dispelled. although ,:ntil that period no woman had ridden otherwise than astride. It was not choice but necessity arising from a physical infirmity which impelled that royal lady to assume position in the saddle which, at first adopted by her entourage as a novelty, was followed by the women throughout Europe as the proper mode of riding.
 Courtland. Kan, possesses the unique distinction of having the only basketball team in this country composed exclusive ly of married women. It Is interesting to watch the evolution of sports among women, especially in this instance, where the life of the team was originally in- tended not to exceed two days, 1t having been organized solely as a novelty for the annual jubilee. Mrs c. A. Kimball, Mrs. O. H. Kinman, Mrs. w. w. Pinker- ton, Mrs. w. w. Stewart, Mrs. E. A. Workman, Mrs. J. N Marty and Mrs. l.. Shelton who make up the team. were so pleased by the benefit they had de- rived from the comparatively short pe- riod of practice, they voted for a perma- nent continuation of the organization. Although many games have been played. this team has yet to experience its first defeat. The game was found so iNterest- ing. and the little ailments to which many of the team were victims so ap- preciably lessened that the community has had an object lesson in the advan- tages women may derive from the pur- suit of a sport in which energy and men tai effort are combined.

Golf Increases Price of Gutta Percha,


Until about ten years ago the suhmsr,n.
cable companies used practically the wbole
worlds supply of gutta percha, for the
reason that. unlike rubber II is not affected
by salt water. But when the game of golf
became the fad in Europe, England and tbe
United States it was found that gutta per-
cha is the only satisfactory material out
of which to make the balls, and the demand
for 1t increased to so great an extent that
the production nearly doubled

Applied Truth.
There is story told of George Ill who
when his late colonists had appointed
day of public thanksgiving for their de-
liverance from the British yoke, not to be
outdone by them in piety, designated a
similar day to be observed throughout his
own kingdom. Some one asked him what
there was to be thankful for rs 1t be-
cause you have lost thirteen jewels from
your CROWN No" rs 1t because mil
lions of money and the lives of thousands
Of men have been wasted?" NO" What
is it them" ut is because 1t is no worse"
The Christians who bear this spirit may
always rejoice that tribulations are no
worse.
