WILDCAT STOPPED
GAME OF TENNIS
Jumped Over Net on Court OF West
chester County N. w. cOua-
try Club.

A tennis game which attracted about
100 members and guests TO the lawns
of the Country club Of westchestei
county. N. Y, closed with wildcat
hunt which started from the net OF
the court and ended a mile away.
The game had among It's witnesses
Miss Beatrice Hoyt, ex-golf champion
and was between Miss Emily Scott
and G. 4. Weston. Jr.. on one side and
Miss SCOTS sister and Charles Jack
son, Ir., on the other
Suddenly one of the players saw q
wildcat coming over the net in his di
rection. He took slap at ii with bis
racket and missed IT, The animal
landed la the court near the players
and began clawing, scratching and
splitting. When the players and spec
tators realized the nature Of their Wis
itor there was wild scramble. Po
llceman William Riley secured a shot
gun and fired at the beast. He missed
1t, and the eat scampered from the
court. Riley took after him, some Of
the members and guests OF the club
joining In the chase.
The wildcat turned toward Pelham
bay, Along the edge OF the bay II sour
ried for mile and then climbed a
tree. 1t was not used TO outdoor exer-
else evidently. and 1t is believed TO
have escaped from the Bronx zoo. In
the tree the creatures body made an
easy mark for the policeman, who
brought it to the ground with one shot
The body Of the cat, according to the
police, was three feet long. II was
taken back to the club, and its hide
will be stuffed.

THE GRADE CROSSING.

The introduction Of the automobile
into general use means step in an
indirect way toward the abolishing of
railroad grade crossings. The Spring
field, Mass, Republican say that more
automobile accidents than carriage now
occur at grade crossings. The Repub.
lican says: "The depIorable accident
yesterday at East Brookfeld, when the
automobile Of Irving II. Page Of Chico
pee. president Of the j. Stevens arms
and tool company, was struck by a
train at grade crossing, emphasizes the
fact that there are now many more
such accidents to automobiles than to
ordinary carriages A careful reading Of
the general news for a few days will
confirm this. II happens that here in
Springfield few days since carriage
was struck by an express train, a young
woman killed and man terribly in
iured. But this local case does not alter
the fact that the grade crossing acct
dents in which automobiles figure are
much the more numerous. The prime
trouble is of course the grade crossing
which must eventually be eliminated
and second to it is carelessness or reck-
lessness on the part Of the automobile
drivers. But in safeguarding such grade
crossings as exist it is apparent that
due account has not yet been taken Of
the fact that there is new class Of
self propelled vehicles to be reckoned
with, which both travel faster and make
more noise-thus handicapping their oc-

COTTON. WHEAT AND IRON.

h Manufacturers Record of last
week published a statement compar-
ing the value of the south's cotton
crop for the last five years with the
worlds output of the precious metals.
The New York Tribune took the mat
ter up and tried to show that the
south's cotton crop was Of not SO
much Importance to the country as
The Manufacturers Record state
ment showed. The Tribune said:
If The Manufacturers Record had
compared American cotton with Amer
lean wheat, Dixie's pre-eminence
would have been less distinguished. II
1904 the United States raised S95,000,-
600 bushels of wi>eat. AT prices now
prevailing, say so cents. this would
have yielded fully $500, 000, 900: but
as the war betWeen Russia and apa
forced them up considerably beyond
81, the actual velue of that pa"ticu-
ar crop could have been little less
han $1,000, 900, 600. Or had the worries
production of either coal or pig-iron
been substituted for that Of the pre-
cious metals. ii would still have been
necessary for the cotton of the United
States to Sit somewhere or the second
row or UefcneS-
In reply The Manufacturers Re
cord calls The Tribune down on it's
figures as to the wheat crop of 1904.
it says that instead of the crop of
that year being 800, 100000 bushels it
was only 552,399,517 or just about
342, 100000 bushels less than stated by
The Tribune. The largest wheat crop
ever raised in this country was 49,
460.21S bushels i'll 1900, which was
nearly 150,00O,0C0 bushels less than
the amount claimed by The Tribune
for the crop Of 1904. The Manufac-
turers' Record says that in order to
put Alright those who have been mis-
led by The Tribune's statements, it
publishes the following tables show
ing the amount and value of wheat
and cotton produced i'll this country
for the last five years. The first table
IS of wheat and the second of cotton
for the five years from 1900 to 1904.
1t will be seen that the value Of the
cotton crop for each one of these
years was much greater than that
of the wheat and that the total
for the five years shows an excess
of over six hundred million dollars in
favor of the cotton crop. 1t will also
he seen that the more valuable cot
ton crop was raised on Il much small
Ter area than was necessary to pro-
duce the wheat crop. The tables at
to the two crops show:

Our readers will remember that the
supreme court of the United States de-
cided against a Georgia member OF
a city chain gang who maintained that
his sentence by a city judge for a
misdemeanOr was UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Now the supreme court of that state
has held the reverse in a similar case.
1t holds that the recorder of the city
court of Macon violated the state and
federal constitutions when he SEN
fenced a man to the chain-gang for
violating a city ordinance. Though
our supreme court has sustained the
constitutionality of recorders courts
in this stale. we do not think it has
e:e passed upon this question. Ne
would like to see the point raised and
sett'ed in North Carolina. F..

THE ALGECyRAs CONFERENCE.

We suppose the country will know
IN a few days what position Mr. Roose-
welt has decided this government shall
take in regard TO the dispute between
France and Germany regarding af-
fairs in Morocco. We cannot believe
that he has instructed the American
representatives at the Algeciras con
ference &c take part in any dispute
between the European nations repre-
scented there over the settlement Of
the political affairs of Morocco. Such
action would be SO foreign TO the pur-
poses Of our government and so incon-
sistent with its past course of action
in regard TO the quarrels of other ma
tions, TO say nothing of its violation
of hat unwritten law of the nation
which has come to be considered
as binding as AM clause Of the fell
eral constitution, that we do not be-
lieve the president would pursue such
a course His right to appoint dele
gates 10 MS conference without Inc
advice and consent OF the senate is
an entirely different question. and one
which has been denied and asserted
on the floor of the senate. We do not
suppose that those senators who sus-
tain the presidents action in the man
ner of making the appointments would
for a moment maintain that he should
empower them to take part in the dis
cussion CT the political phase of the
dispute between France and Germany,
or to declare their preference o he
one power or the other when it comes
to deciding the merits Of the conten-
tons of the two countries. 1t is to
be hoped that Mr.. Roosevelt has in
structed his representatives to confne
themselves to looking after and pro-
tecting Americas commercial interests
in Morocco during the process of SCI
Ting the affairs of the state by the
powers represented at the conference.

The Manufacturers Record says
that for the last five years the value
of our exports of raw cotton has ex-
ceeded by $2O6, 100000, the value of
the worlds output of gold. 1t says
that the figures as to the production
of coal and pig iron for the same
period are not available, but pig iron
is a manufactured production and has
gone beyond raw cotton; also, that in
1900 the value of the primary form of
manufactured cotton goods exceeded
by S300,00O,0 900 the value of the pri-
mary form of the worlds iron and
steel output, but, it says, it would not
be proper to compar the value of raw
product of pig iron. In such a case
the comparison should be made with
iron ore, and the sOuth's cotton crop
in its raw state is many times more
valuable than the worlds output of
iron ore. The facts and figures give
some idea of the immense value to
the country of the cotton crop of the
soutfEof the raw products. When
we come to put the entire crop into
manufactured goods and export
them instead of a large proportion of
the raw material the value to the
country Of this crop will be greatly
Increased.
