CLASS CONDUCTED
 BY-YOUNG ROCKEFELLER

From the New York Mail and Express.
 It is natural enough that the Bible class of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., should arouse a good deal of curiosity. Human ly speaking. 1t is a curious thing that a man of 27, who is the heir to the largest private fortune ever amassed in the his- tory of the world, should care to make his appearance every Sunday morning at 9:45 on the lower rostrum of a little Baptist church and there instruct a class of young men in the Bible, and that he should add to this a good deal of work every week in stimulating, in a friendly and familiar way, house club formed by these young men, It is no wonder that newspapers should send their reporters to MT. Rockefeller's class and. after their wont. make the most piquant news arti- cles they can out of his talk.
 MT. Rockefeller's class itself is a sur prise to one who was brought up in the old-fashioned Bible classes, where a couple of pews full of young people and grown-ups in the corner of a church or lecture room otherwise devoted to a Sun day school of children. listened to one mans verse-to-verse exposition of the scripture and discussed or argued the meaning of each passage with him as they went along. These old-fashioned Bible classes were easy going, sociable kind of affairs.
 Young MT. Rockefeller's Bible instruc- ton is different. It Is practically a ser mon, delivered to a congregation of men. Not all young men, either. You are shown by an usher to a seat in the main audience room of the church--the same room that the regular preaching services will be held in an hour later. In front of the pulpit in this Fifth Avenue Baptist church there is platform raised some six inches higher than the main floor. On this platform ia baize-covered table. with Bible upon 1t, and a high-backed ecclesiastical looking chair.
 In front of the choir's perch at the left sits an orchestra composed of several in struments-piano, violin. cello, flute and perhaps one or two more. The exercises

 Dr. Vim II Morse. the eminent practi- tioner and world-renowned therapeutist, says: "Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is the only absolute cure for the grip; it builds up the system and enables 1t to throw off the grip germs. and prevents bad after effects, because 1t Is chemically pure and contains great medicinal properties. RUN DoWN--GAiNED 25 POUNDS.

 dress. It was half an hour long and dealt with Paurs summing up of his life and religious services in his parting talk with the elders of Ephesus.
 You wonder a little when you hear Mir Rockefeller talk about the nobility and the desirability of manual labor as a means of Livelihood
 However, there was no questioning the speakers sincerity, even when he exalted manual labor. He spoke like one who had tried that kind of labor himself and liked it. I understand that this Is actually the dAse with young MT. Rockefeller He has taken his turn at setting posts on his fa- ther's farm, and even at breaking stones. He has come and gone to more than one days work in overalls.
 However, there is & difference between this kind of manual labor, undertaken oc- casionally by rich man as an avoca- ton. as an essay in experience, and the kind you have to do through months and years-the kind that, though the iron of 1t may enter your very soul, you must sigh for when you don't have 1t, as the only thing that keeps the wolf of starva- ton from your babies vitals.
 If there Is any insincerity In MT. Rock efeller in his work in the Baptist church it is evidently so far inside him that he himself Is entirely unconscious of 1t. When he meets the class Informally In the lecture room, after the proceedings are over, he is evidently In state of hearty enjoyment. He talks about class and club affairs with special reference to each one's part in them, He seems to be getting as much out of them as they are getting out of him.

 whole so that each one passed might be finally disposed of instead of being acted on both in committee and In the house. With the reading of the first MT. Adams of Pennsylvania complained that he had filed batch of pension bills with the committee, none of which had been re- ported. He said he had been asked to
 send his bills to the committee but he could not hnd single one of them on the ! calendar. and gave notice that unless his district received fair treatment he would put all disbursements on the same basis. He, however, withheld objections today. MT. Siayden said he had not been re- quested by the invalid pensions committee to send in any bills and wanted to know under what rule such requests came,

VOLUME OF TRADE WAS VERY LARGE
Wide Advances for Saturday
 Were Established
STATISTICS ARE BULLISH
Visible Supply Statement Showed Much Greater Decrease Under Last Year Than Was Ex-
 pected By the Bulls.

New orleans. February T,-Todays cotton market was not the typical Satur- day affair that was expected. The volume of trade was large and was conspicuous by the weekend figures. While some liquidation on the part of profit-talSing long was seen 1t was soon spent and all offerings were eagerly absorbed.
 Wide advances for Saturday were established, nervious shorts sending prices up on themselves by their hurried run ming to cover on extremely bullish weekly statistics while heavy buying by profess sional and outside longs gave the market a strong undertone.
 At the opening the tone was called steady and prices showed an advance of to 10 points. While Liverpool cables were disappointing to sell. they were taken as being fairly favorable by con servative longs. Liquidation shaved the initial advance down soon after the open ing. and shorts attempted to cover at the decline. They were disappointed and there were more buying than selling or ders in the market.
 Prices Quickly Rose.
 Prices quickly rose until they were from 25 to 27 points higher than the close of yesterday in March. May and July. At the close prices were 21 to B points high CT than yesterdays close. Statistics were surprisingly and uniformly builish. The visible supply showed a much great CT decrease under last year than was expected by the most enthusiastic bulls. and private cables from England were bullsh in their tone and created more and more of a desire to buy on the part of strong interests that have been hold ing of on account of the violent fiuctua- tions.
 Because of this, the market had less of a scalping appearance today. After the strong advance at the middle of the morning, the market according to it's course of late should have made wide recession under oft-taking by scalpers. As it was, there was but a slight de- cline. the closing being within few points of the highest of the day.
 Private cables were received telling of several Lancashire spinners who had de- cided to run full time.
