PRICE ON The COTTON CONvEN-
TON.

with a large crop and out of his
speculations he has made untold
millions. He has been bold and
audacious in his me thods and
has not hesitated to take advan-
tage of every fact and circum
stance and condition which could |
be turned to account in depress-
ing the price of the staple. Thus |
we see him taking page or a |
half page in the daily papers of
the South presenting his views
and i'm presSiOns of the crop, or
flooding the mails with circulars
and pamphlets all having for
their end the destruction of the
movement to hold the present
surplus crop and force it on the
market so that the price would
go even lower.
Price poked a large amount of
fun at the New Orleans cOnven-
ton and on the day that it con-
vened he had half page open
letter to it's president setting
/ forth his views of the situation.
His latest effusion on the work
of the convention is summed up
in the below resolutions which
he says are about what the con-
ventiOn asks after being strip
ped Of the keep disappointment
which it's members felt over
superabundant crop. He char
acterizes the meeting as one of
the most remarkable "detiances
of economic laws" ever known
and says the following in effect
are the resolutions passed.
Resolved, That the laws of
gravitatiOn be, and are hereby,
suspended until cotton shall sell
for ten cents a pound.
Resolved, That the price of
cotton hereafter shall not be less
than ten cents a pound.
Resolved, That = and 2 make

proposition, and that in estimat-
ing the cotton crop they only
make p or at most 3.
Resolved, That we will hide our
heads in the sand and our cotton
IN out of the way places in the
hope that the world will for
get that we ever lost the first or
even had the second
Resolved, That progress in
agriculture is mistake, and that
instead of trying to see how we'll
and how cheap we can raise cot
ton, our chief endeavor shall be
to grow as little per acre, and at
as high a cost as possible To
this end we recommend that
planters use no fertilizers and
that they SOW weeds broadcast
with the cotton seed.
Resolved, That any farmer who
shall violate the provisions of
these resolutions shall he ostra-

Resolved, That any egr 0

Resolved, That ali the surplus
mules shall be sold to Russia and
Japan at any old price to get rid

Resolved. That the poor plant

the rich planter should not get
an exhorbitant price for his cot

Resolved. That it is better for
the farmer to borrow ) cents a

Although Private Smith was wounded

this handful of five men was under an

range that they could bring their pistols
into play. Thus they fought for their
own lives and defended their dying COM

little muddy water mixed with their own

Indians and wounded above a score.
Relief came that night but It was SO

were injured are in the hospitals, several
of whom win die.
There were nearly 200 men aboard
when the accident occurred, and many
were hurled or forced to jump into the
sea by the terrific explosion. which lifted
part of the deck and compelled the beach

The ship had received orders from the
navy department to sail for Port Hartford
to meet the monitor Wyoming and con-
vey her to Mare Island navy yard, San
Francisco.
steam was up and everything was in
readiness for the departure Of the Ben
nington when the starboard forward
boiler exploded with a deafening roar.
The explosion was terrific. People stand
ing on shore saw a huge cloud of steam
rise above the Bennington Columns Of
water were forced high into the air.
dozen or more men were blown over
board by the force of the blast. Capt
Wentworth, who vas looking at the BEN
nington when the disaster occurred. says
he say human bodies hurled over 100 feet
upward. The air was clouded with Vapor

cleared away only a few men could be
seen on the decks, while a number were

a charnel house.
Great damage was done in all parts OF
the vessel. The boiler which exploded,
it is said, was regarded as partially un-
| safe. Commander Young stated that dur
| ing n recent return from Honolulu the
steam pressure was kept reduced in that

| At the time Of the accident Commander
Lucien Young and Surgeon f. E. Peck

as they learned OF the disaster, hurried
| to the water front.
Commander Young as soon as he reach

magazines be flooded to avert further ex-
| plosions. He then beached the ship at

Darlington, teacher In the typewriter de-
partment of the Springfield Business
school. She Is under contract for ten
weeks to a New York firm at a salary of
500 a week and expenses. Miss Car
rington is the fastest operator in the
world and all the students Of the SPRING
field Business school enjoy the benefit OF
her experience in learning to write rapidly
on the typewriter. Miss Darlington has
given exhibitions in all the large cities
Of the country and is an exponent OF the
touch system OF typewriting which was
first taught at the Springfield Business
school, This school was formerly Childs
Business college but changed to the larger
name when Mr.. Griffin, former short
hand principal. took charge of the school.
Many students from this vicinity have
found benefit through a course at this
well known institution and several young
people from this vicinity have already
enrolled for the coming year. An elegant
catalog, containing views OF the school
rooms and complete information, will be

The Criterion Of a Play.

If play leaves its witness better, hap
pier, gentler and more alive to the tender,
higher things OF life, 1t has accomplished
its best possibilities. 1t is a fact that II
a play is heralded as excessively bad the
result will be packed houses. But II 1t Is
equally true that II a play is advertised
as extraordinarily good, the same result
will follow. think, too, that the response
In both cases comes from the same class
of people. II must be remembered that
the prime object of all dramatic art is to
entertain. To entertain and at the same
time to edify and elevate is the most per-
feet form Of success. That is the ideal
success of both player and dramatist.
