dull and depressed, with little doing
in the sale of spots. There are yet
some six hundred bales of cotton held
in Americas warehouses, and if the
market ever goes to 161a cents again
somebody else is going to own it in
short order. Yesterday s offerings were
around 13S cents for the best grades,
though no sales were reported. The
cotton here is strongly held and only
reasonable price will move it.

AMERICAS MAKES

Solons Viii Not Chip in The $500
Suggested, Informal Discussion of
The Subject Brings About This
Conclusion Among ScIons.

Americas will not contribute that
| $500 towards the erection of state
building at the st. Louis fair, this be-
leg the amount assessed upon her by
Atlanta authorities who are getting up
the fund. The matter of making such
contribution was referred to council
by NJ lyor Hawkins, and while no for
nal meeting OF that body was held yes
terday it was the opinion of several
members that no action at all would be
taken. One of the councilmen express.
sed the belief that $500 spent in street
improvements here would be OF far
more benefit to Americas than any
thing derived through the st. Louis
fair. The county commissioners have
not discussed any proposition as yet
towards contributing to this house
building enterprise, but it is quite
likely that they will take about the
same view of the matter as do the city
fathers. Americas, therefore, may be
cut out of the list of $500 contributors
right Aow.

Lady Grey's DUH Evening.

Thomas Creevey, who lived in the
early part of the nineteenth century,
has presented some queer pictures of
English court life. During the reign
of King William ". Creeyey wrote:
THE Greys had just come from Wind
sor castle. Lady Grey, in her own dis
tressed manner, said she was really
more dead than alive. She said all the
boring she had ever endured before
was literally nothing compared with
her misery of the two preceding nights.
She hoped she never should see a ma
hogany table again, she was so tired
with the one that the queen and the
king, the Duchess Of Gloucester, Prin
cess Augusta, Nine. Lieven and herself
had sat around for hours, the queen
knitting or netting a purse, the king
sleeping and occasionally waking for
the purpose of saying, Exactly So,
ma'am,' and then sleeping again. The
queen was cold as ice to Lady Grey
till the moment she came away, when
she could afford to be a little civil at
getting quit of her"

needed, and will soon be placed on q
war footing" in fact.
Besides full outfit of jaunty new

IT RAlNED UPON THE PALACE
But Beauty And Talent Were Within
Its Walls.

The rainstorm last night. of two days
steady duration, prevented what other
wise would haYe been an ovation to
Miss Helen GRAVITY, the beautiful
young star, and her superb com
pany appearing in that splendid play
''Iu the Palace of the King" But de.
spite the downpour quite large and
very appreciative audience braved the
elements and witnessed the theatrical
event OF the season in Americas. To
say that it was magnificent would ex-
press the truth but poorly. Miss
GRAVITY understands fully just what
she can do ard she does this well.
There were times last night when she
mounted to high reaches of art. She
viyitied three scenes with wonderful
force and energy aui il love scenes
with Don Juan she was delightful.
The impression created was most fav-
orable and the judgment OF the per-
Torrance was altogether with the star

Tobacco Smoke and the Blood.


Two or three mouthfuls of tobacco
smoke from a cigarette were shaken up
with a few drops of blood diluted with
water in a bottle. Almost Immediately
the blood assumed the pink color char
acteristic of blood containing monoXide
gas, and further observations with the
spectroscope confirmed the presence in
the blood of carbon monoXide. Similar
ly a few mouthfuls of smoke from
pipe and cigar were tried, and the re-
suits were even more marked. In this
experiment we have some explanation
in particular Of the evil effects of ciga-
rette smoking, for it is chiefly cigarette
smoke that Is inhaled, an indulgence by
which the poisonous carbon monoXide
is introduced directly into the blood.
This effect of tobacco smoke upon the
blood appears to US to be of consider
able signifcance.-London Lancet.

The Poison In MaekereI.
There is no more wholesome food
among fish than a mackerel, yet close
along the backbone of that same edi-
BILE there lies a strip of flesh which may
bring you to deaths door even if it
fails to kill you. You may eat it
hundred times and it will be as whole
some as the rest of the fish, but the
hundred and first time or earlier it
may cause terrible trouble. This is be-
cause it occasionally, without any sign
or any known reason, distills a power
full irritant poison. There is no diff
ference in the appearance Of the fish
of the danger. The only remedy is to
leave the spine OF the fish alone and not
take the flesh that lies in the angle of
the backbone's edges. There is never
a year without a few deaths from this
cause, though you might eat mackerel
scores of times without taking harm.
Yet animals have some way of detect
ing the poison, and a cat will not eat
the flesh from the mackerePs spine if
it is dangerous 1t is not question
of staleness-a perfectly fresh fish may
be deadly and a stale one harmless
