This attraction will be given a
production at the opera house Sat
urday night. December .. An adj
vance notice says:
The entire press of New York city
was unanimous in its praise of Fred
erick Schwartz's new comedy drama,
which made a run in the fall in New
York city The drama tells of the
story of an adventurer who enters
the home of a worthy deacon, resid-
ing near Lewisburg, Pa. He sows
seeds of diseord between father and
son, and finally robs and murders the
deacon under conditions that fix the
blame of the crime upon his own son
The hypnotic and metal mental tele-
pathie powers of the fiancee of the
hero forced the murderer TO finally
confess his crime before a group of
Mortified witnesses, summoned be-
fore the coroner.

NEW RECORD MADE.
Another Big Advance i'm Cotton
When Government Report
Came In.

A new high record was made in
the price of cotton when the govern
ment's estimate of the crop for 1905
was made public this afternoon
Prices in New Orleans jumped up
more than 100 points New York
was not SO stiff, but the advance
was from As to "A points. A reac-
ton soon set in and the prices be-
gan descending the scale.
The government estimate places
the crop to be gathered this year at
10, l67 600 bales. The New Orleans
1imes-D Democrat this morning esti-
mated the crop at 10, 155, 900 bales
and the National Ginners' estimate
was 100000 bales.
Considerable interest was display
ed in the receipt of the government s
report here, and the cotton exchange
was crowded when the telegraph in
strument licked off the estimate.

ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN,
Russell Sage has always been ready
TO ADVISE young men, and his advice IS
always good. Like Hetty Green, he be-
llcves In Providence, and he thinks that
Providence has favored him IN giving
him a fortune lie believes also that
Providence helps those who help them
selves, and that He is always looking
out for the young man who thinks,
plans, works and economies. Mr.. sage
has no sympathy with the idea that
rich man Is necessarily a dishonest
man, and says that the great fnanciers
OF the world have become so by honest
work and hard work, He told me once
that his first thousand dollars was made
by small savings, and that he thought
II better for boy TO be born poor than
rich. lie believes that penny savings
banks should be connected with the
schools and that thrift should form a
part of every boys education, He
breaches the value of money and adj
Vises every young man to live within
his income to spend less than he makes
and invest what he saves. He thinks
che should save % cents out of every
dollar, and more 10 possible,
Another bit of his advice to young
men is to join the church and take part
In the Christian movement He believes
in charity, and says every young man
should give as much "a he consistently

Mr.. Sage was about the only one who
