APPLES FOR COMPLEXION.
The More Fruit We Add to Dietary the Clearer Brains and Clearer
 Skin We Have.

Nothing in all our varied and fas. einating range of fruits holds quite the quality of the apple. A ripe raw apple at it's best is digested in s5 minutes, and the malie acid which gives it it's distinctive character stimulates the liver, assists digestion and neutralizes much noxious matter which, if not eliminated, produces eruptions of the skin. a
 Apples do not satisfy like pota- toes,T complain people to whom they have been recommended as food.
 As a matter of fact the starch of the potato added to the surplus of starch we are always eating makes that vege- table thoroughly undesirable stand by.
 The more fruit we add to our diet sry. the clearer brains and skin we are likely to have.
 "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" So runs the old adage. and certainly a plentiful use of them will save many a dose of naussous medi- cine.
 An apple eaten before breakfas. Is said to have a beneficial effect on the complexion. and for those subject to blliousness it is worth 8 trial.
 Tn a roasted state apples are re- markably wholesome. and 1t Is -sid strengthening 70 a weak stomach. Tn malignant fersrs. when used with the juice Of lemons and currants. they are considered highly ef5eacious.
 We are told that apples are to be very plentiful this season, so ve had beser be prepared with plenty of good recipes for using them There are for tunately many ways of using this val uab1e appstizinE and health-giTing food.

For the baby born with a gold spoon in its mouth and which is to grow up to dine on gold dinner services, there is a christening cup of gold floating around New York just now, states the Times of recent date. The cup, being valuable, is not made in the form of handled mug, useful only for infancy, but like a regular tea or coffee cup, with a saucer and spoon to match. The set was made in Paris upon the order Of a grandee of Spain, and was intended as gift at the christening of the infant son of one of Spain's high est officers. It is in Empire design, the cup in graceful lines with a stand ard and handle raised above the level of the cup at the top This handle is in the design of lion, supposedly the lion of Spain. The saucer and spoon agree with the style of the cup. For some reason the grandee, the high officer. or circumstances, fell out, and the presentation was never made. Now the cup has drifted to New York, in the hands of private people, and is waiting to be purchased for one of New York's millionaire babies for S400 "a great bargain.

One of the principal objects of the national board for the promotion of rife practice is to secure sufficient in- door and outdoor ranges to admit of civilian rife and revolver practice, Of course, under restrictions laid down by the war department. It is generally admitted that this feature of the work is of greatest importance to the metro pOlitan police departments of the yari- ous cities. In this country every pO- liceman carries a revolver, but it is a well known fact that by far the great majority of them are anything but expert marksmen. In any street bat tie between criminals and officers there is always considerable chance that innocent citizens will be injured. The beads of the police departments in various cities are doing all they can to impress upon their men the necessity of learning to shoot straight and the advantages to an officer of knowing how to properly handle his revolver. The efforts of the national board tO secure appropriations which will per- init of such ranges being used in all large cities, indoor and with outdoor ranges in the various cities especially for rife practice. has been recognized and heartily endorsed. In Washing ton the police are permitted to practice in the indoor target range belonging 10 the district militia, and 10 this Major Richard Sylvester. superintendent Of the Washington police. ascribes the improvement of the marksmanship of his men.

 A coroner's jury is considering the case where eighteen persons were killed at Uniontown, Pa, by an explo sion of 10000 kegs of powder ill the Rand Power Co.'S plant.

To prove it the company took the jury to place where they set, of 2.000 kegs of pow der, worth S10,000. Damage was done to houses two miles away, but no sign of hole appeared. .s.

The local election had little effect upon the stock market. says Banker Clews. h any event its influence must
 have been confined to the municipal
 service corporations or those which
 might possibly be brought within sight of municipal ownership. and their i'm portance is limited. So far as New
 York is concerned there is no fmme,ii- ate prospect of this contingency. The
 municipal ownership movement has undoubtedly been tremendously stimu-
 lated by corporation abuses and short eomings. but the results of the eIec- ton in no wise confirm the idea that this city Is ready for so radical and
 momentous a change Bad as may have been fhe treatment which the citizens of New York have received at the hands of its transportation and lighting corporations. there is no as- surance that it wouh te served any better under the present political con tIitions in New York. What is possible In Glasgow. Leeds. London. Berlin and other European cities. where political conditions are much better. would rot he possible in New YorE Even abroad. where the experiment. has been conducted under the most favorable auspices. the results have been any thing but uniformly satisfactory.

as development was slow, depreciation great and profit diminishing factor, not few instances being recorded of actual losses, which had to be made good by the poor taxpayer. Municipal ownership has yet to prove it's superi- ority over private enterprise. The real significance Of the election is that the public are dissatisfied with the yari- ous forms of abuse and graft which have crept into our political and busi- ness system. That their dissatisfac- tion should be thus expressed, not merely ill New York but in Philadel- phia and other political centers, is an occasion for rejoicing and the one really bright spot in the election.

COTTON MARKET
HELD EARLY GAIN
Cables Were Much Higher
Than Expected
WALL STREET BEAR FAC TOR
Weather in South Is Favorable, Spot
Markets Are Higher and
Receipts Seem
Little Smaller.
WALL STREET BEAR FAC TOR

New York, May 1.-After a very active
and excited early session. the cotton mar
ket sold down. but held a good part of its
early gain The opening was strong at
an advance of to Is points on much
higher cables than expected, active Gov
ering and further bull support by the
Wall street operator who has recently
turned from the bear to the bull side of
the market, and is said to be predicting
still higher prices.
Soon after the opening, the market in
creased its gains, May selling at 7:62;
July, 756 and October 7.73, but this level
being over half a cent up from the low
point of last week, attracted heavy Of
ferings for long account, as well as d
little selling on the reaction theory, and
quotations worked off again to about the
opening figures Around 794 for July,
support again became evident, and in the
late trading covering by early sellers
caused a slight rally and the market at
the close was steady at a net advance of
7 to 10 points. with July quoted at 7.55.
Sales were estimated at 100000.
The weather in the south was favorable
ON averages, but southern spot markets
were reported higher, and receipts SEEM
ed to be running a little smaller
Receipts at the ports today. 17,101 bales,
against 24,401 last week. and 6OO4 last
year. For the week, estimated, $4,000
bales, against 1884 last week, and "a
$40 last year. Today's receipts at New
Orleans, 2773 bales. against 1115 last year,
and at Houston, 1886 bales, against 2123
last year.

The cotton market was very much ex-
cited at the opening this morning and
prices much higher. LIVERPOOL cables
showed an advance of s to points. which
was better than expected The close there
was at an advance OF 10 points over Sat
urday's close Spots were points higher
with sales of 5000 bales. The local mar
ket opened higher. July was 7 points M
at 7.4s. advanced to 7.55 Around this
price there was considerable liouidation
by last weeks buyers and values Stunned
off about 10 points. We have now had an
advance of over nc during the past week
and with the prevailing bad weather con-
ditions the market should advance still
further. The movement continues very
heavy but thew have but little weight

vance today and one that carried prices
about l2c from the low level Of last week.
Both July and October sold SO points
from the bottom with May 80 points up.
The market held well considering the
violence of the advance and the sudden
turn from weakness to strength Ii IS
unusually the case that when market
advances so rapidly 1t has setback
about as suddenly.
But prices are 50 low that this can
hardly be predicted with any degree OF
confidence at the present time. Weather
IN the cotton belt is not what might be
called good and there are heavy shorts
probably still left in the market
Should holders take It into their heads
to give the market another whirl it could
easily be accomplished. All that can be
said is that bears have less confidence
and buyers have more and viii take cot
ton on every break. until we have better
weather. Cotton below Tic in New York
can hardly be called high and chances
favor buyers rather than sellers below
that figure.
On so violent a rise we would go eau
tiously on the buying side. but as we be-
lieve the south will reduce the acreage
we are bulls on cotton on the big con-
sumption, and the moderate prices The
bear market of the year terminated in
the break to about 6. Go for May cotton in
January.
