The cotton market continues in too
unsettled a state for the trade to be
able to predict future developments,
or for that matter, to do much bust
ness at all. The feeling among fac
tors now is that the remainder of the
crop should bring in the neighbour
hood of SC a pound, basis good mid
ding. and some of them believe that
this price can be maintained If the
interior holders refrain from rushing
their holdings on the market at this
critical time. The country is in posi-
zion TO hold cotton, it is said, and if
it will do so until the January notices
are out can get a fair idea of whether
it Will be possible to maintain prices
or not.
The local spot market, which closed
Saturday, demoralized and not quot
able, opened yesterday weak and nomi-
nal, at a decline of sc from the close
of Friday. This tone and price it
maintained at the o'clock call, but
at the close the tone had gone to
nominal and prices had declined Nc.
The tone, prices and sales for the day

That Business Interferes with

What we need is society men" de-

tagged by their attention to business
that they are next to worthless. They
regard the average social function as
an awful bore, and leave everything
pertaining to entertaining and to going
about to their wives. In case the poor
wife succumbs to the strain they hunt
around for a spinster or widowed sis

shoulders this social side of the mat

an entire season, and from his knowl-

sists in an occasional rabid, blustery
remark about the nincompoop fortune
hunters who hover about the daughter
of the house. AS for sane, thoughtful
counsel, he gives not a bit of it. So
ciety is game he got into without in
tention or effort, and he utterly re-
fuses to take any trouble about his fell
low players. Even his own daughters
have to go it blind! AS I said before,

of the school Miss Keller has had no

In Miss Keller's book ssThe Story Of

One day Joseph Jefferson, playing

HELEN KELLER B. A.
WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENT OF
THIS WONDERFUL GIRL.
How She Attained College Degree
The Only Person So Handicapped
to Accomplish Such q
Result.

We have become used to the wonder.
full progress made by blind, deaf-and-
dumb Helen Keller, and yet to the
thoughtful each new advance must
continue to be an heroic achievement.
The last victory won by this wonder
full girl is the attainment of the de-
gree of bachelor Of arts from Rad
cliffe college, and the distinction of
''cum laude,'' witness that the handf-
capped girl has not only finished the
full college course. but has finished
with honors.
1t means something every time a
young woman gets as far as a diploma,
means at least certain amount of
hard work. But think what was in
volved in the earning of B. A. by
Helen Keller! OF a truth, as one writer
says, this young woman's achievement
is without parallel in the history of
intellectual feats, for never before has
a human being, handicapped as Miss
Keller is, secured an academic degree .
No wonder a Helen Keller day" has
been set aside at the fair; that to the
day appointed for the congress Of prin-
cipals of schools for the blind, her
name has been given.
It was IN 1899 Miss Keller passed the
difficult preliminary examination for
entrance to Harvard. the papers being
read to her in the sign manual; and
In 1900 successfully stood the final ex-
animation. In college, Miss Keller has
not excelled in mathematics, has had
hard struggle to accomplish the re-
CURED work In these. 1t was for Eng
fish she won the "cum laude," being
especially skilled In all branches OF
English. She is most responsive to
what Is good in literature, and her ap-
probation or what she reads is itself
a most interesting addition to litera-
ture. A great help to her in the col
1ege work has been the typewriter,
her use of this making her quite inde-
pendent In composition writing. She
writes rather slowly on the machine,
but her work is accurate.
OF rare interest is her judgment Of
college examining, and doubtless any
college graduate could bear witness to
the truth of her words: There are

CLIMB MOUNT WASHINGTON.

Record For Auto Uphill Racing
Smashed Five Times.
MOUNT WASHINGTON, N. H, July
12.-Five times the record has been
smashed in the hill climbing automobile
competition. The contest was one of
the series arranged by the White
Mountain Good Roads Improvement
association and was over a measured
course of eight miles with grade
varying from to 20 degrees. The
record for the distance, 45 minutes
SO seconds, was made by Otto West
man three weeks ago. This time it
was cut down repeatedly, but f. q.
Stanley Of Newton, Mass, with six
horsepower gasoline machine made
the best run Of the day, his time be-
ing 81 minutes As seconds.
Els nearest competitor was James
L. Dreese Of New York, who covered
thes eight miles in forty horsepower
car in "a minutes 8 do seconds. Alex
ander Winton Of Cleveland had bad
luck. He stalled his motor between
the fifth and sixth mile posts, but after
a long delay finished the race. Webb
Jay, also Of Cleveland, punctured a
tire and was allowed to try again.

MUNROB A POOR Wrestler.

Buffalo, N. Y, July 12.-Unless Jack
Munroe does considerably better with
Jim Jeffries than he did against ryan
kee'' Rogers, wrestler, here last night,
it will surely be case of punch and

with championship aspirations. Mum
roe was forced to accept defeat in the
most decisive manner In two straight
falls with Rogers In their catch-as.
catch-can match. Rogers put a nam
mer lock on Munroe after mauling the
pugilist for eleven minutes, and then
won a fall Munroe didn't have look
in. Then came the winning fall. This
time Munroe had just one lone peek.
He managed to stay IS minutes and 30
seconds. Despite his lack OF science,
however, as wrestler, Munroe showed
splendid form.

aid In the shape OF wireless telegraphy.
The fact that wireless telegraphy exists
and can be utilized by the expenditure
Of money is simple enough; but the in
stallation of the system is laborous
and delicate matter, even when all the
material is at hand and conditions are
favorable When the most trif1ing item
required has to be- obtained from dis
tance,y the fixing of a wireless station be-
comes a serious undertaking. This, at
any rate, has been the experience at
Weihaiwei.
1t was quite simple to leave Japan for
Weihaiwei with Geographic instructions,
to build q mast $50 feet high within 30
feet of the seashore, to be ready against
the arrival OF plant and operators by the
next boat. But it was quite another,
matter to make the mast 1T to with
stand the gales and typhoons that pc
riodically thrash the waters of the Gulf
Of Pechili. In Weihatwei there was not.
soul to undertake the erection of pole,
But for the good nature Of the British
navy and army, who nobly came to the;
rescue OF the distressed correspondents,
mast could never have been raised.
Spars for the lofty stick were OBJ;
tanned by the payment of lavish prices
to Chinese junk captains, who reluct-,
Rntly parted with their masts. Wire
rope by the mile was cabled for to
Shanghai, and arrived after weeks of de-,
lay. Treble wages were paid to work
men, who during the period of the China
new, year, which lasts for three solid
weeks, abhor labor.
At the foot the diameter of the mast!
is "a inches, and it tapers away to three,
inches at the summit. The length Of the,
stays employed totals over 1000 feet;
and the weight of the structure is about
ten tons. The lower stays are made.

diameter, and the top ones are telephone

they intended to get after Jim O'Rourke

years since Donovan played, here. He
was with Brooklyn two years and this
is his second season with Detroit. He
said he expected to play in Detroit next
year. He had a little hard luck early
in the season, but has been doing bet

Bill used to fan out the side when the
bases were full He is much stouter
than when he played here, as he does
not have to pitch every other day.

this morning. Mr. Donovan is very
charitable young man and he declined
to make any comments on the playing
