Notwithstanding the fact OF the
enormous popularity Of the picture
postcard q recent order Of the Post
Ofice department. is likely to mako
these little mail souvenirs even more
sought after than ever. This order
will mako lawful a postcard upon
which there Is space upon the ad-
dress side for written messages. This
will enable the sender to keep the
picture unmarried and yet write q
message upon the left hand side OF
tne card, the whole Of which side has
been in the past reserved for the ad.
dress only. This agreement was
reached at the session Of the univef-
sal postal congress during the past
summer. This style Of post card has
been In use for some time In foreign
countries. The admission OF IL to,
American mails promises to increase
the number now handled by several
millions. A peculiar feature OF the
post. card Is, that although it is sent
for one cent, their use has increased
the revenues Of the department..

Prof. Noc Cost.

Mr.. Sterrett Tate, replying to a
quotation from the New York Herald
TO the effect that as cotton can be
gown at five cent per pound, it is
unreasonable for the producer to ex.
pect more than ten cents for 1t. Mr..
Tate successfully ridicules the prop
csit1on that cotton can be grown at
five cents q pound and shows that
ten cents Ia too Low for the producer
to make the reasonable margin Of pro.
fit to which he Is entitled.
Is is a very simple matter for q
newspaper thousand miles away
from the fields to tell the cotton pro.
ducer what it costs per pound to raise
cotton, but when reduced to it's last
analysis advice from the nejghbor-
hood Of Wall street is OF nc more
value to the average cotton farmer
than would be the opinion Of the
average cotton producer to New
York spe,ulator who might be seek
ing evidence as to the latest move
ments of che Parisien bourse.
Egery item entering into the pro.
duction OF cotton has vastly increased
during the past few years. It costs
more to buy land, fertilizers, stock,
utensils, to pay for labor and to meet
the expenses Of living than ever be.
fore. The cost entering into the pro-
duction of bale Of cotton today is
almost double the coat Ct the making
of a bale ten years ago. While it is
true that ten cents will ps-laps meet
actusl expenses and give the producer
and bis family living, it Is no. just
for the world to expect the cotton
grover to be satisfied with only &C.
Gual living expenses.
The cotton grower Is just as much
entitled to q reasonable return on his
effort, his energy, his time and his
Investment as the Wall street broker
is entitled to his profit. What would
Wall street think il the cotton pro-
ducec should take toe position thst
Its brokers and business men should
be entitled to no more than actual
living expenses out Of their business
and yet that is the position assum-
ed towards the cotton growers By
great many people the world over.
Whist Wall street doesn't know about
the cost of making cotton would I'LL
a great many books.
In the meantime The constitution
again urges the cotton producers OF
the south to let Wall street alone,
and to make Its arrargem snts inde-
pendent OF advice received from that
direction. The secretary OF the,
Mississippi division OF the Southern
Cotton Associa t!oa was Tight when
be wsrned the prodnce1s OF the south
against the bear movement enanst-
ing from Wall street, and it Is notice
abla that 1t comes this year from
some OF those who only year sgo
gere coddling the farmers OF the
south with the view, evidently, OF
working into their confidence to bag
Gig game this year. Notwt1hsrand-
ng this cotton has gone above elsV-
70 cents, and every pound now on the
narket is worth that much at least,
sud Il marketed slowly will bring 1t.

NO STAY FOR PATRICK.
Governor Intimates That He MAY Esx-
tend Executive CIemency.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 4.-Governor
Higgins today announced that he
would deny the application for a re-
prieve for Albert T. Patrick, the law
yer who is confined in Sing Sing
prison under sentence to die January
%, for the murder of the aged New
York millionaire, William Marsh Rice
The application was made on Tues
day by ex-senator William Lindsay, of
Kentucky, who is practieing law in
New York, who appeared in Patrick's
behalf owing to the illness of David
B. Hill. They asked Governor Hig-
gins to grant a respite in Patrick s
case to enable them to examine the
s, 900 pages of testimony taken of the
trial in order to perfect an appeal to
the United States supreme court.
The governor said today that the de-
nial of the reprieve must not be inter
preted as in any way foreshadowing
what his action would be upon an ap-
plicatiOn for executive clemency. He
has written Patrick's attorneys stating
that in view of the long period which
has elapsed since Patrick's conviction
he is not satisfied that a further de-
lay for the sole purpose of taking an
appeal on technical grounds was in
the interests of justice.

TO SEE HIM
Woman Calls at White House to
Talk to Roosevelt.
Refused to Take No for an
Answer and Made a Row.

Washington. Jan. A distressing
scene was enacted at the White House
executive Offices today in which a wo-
man was carried screaming from the
building, because she refused to leave
without resort to force.
About 1 o'clock a handsomely attired
woman, apparently about so years of
age, entered the executive Offices and
inquired for Secretary Loeb Through
a messenger she sent her card to the
secretary. On the card was engraved
the name Mrs. Minor Morris and writ
ten beneath it in ink was the address
1.-The New Willard
To Assistant Secretary Barnes she
said that she wanted to see the presi-
dent. She told Mr.. Barnes that her hus-
band had been discharged from the gov
ernment service and she wanted to de-
mand from the president his reinstate-
ment or at least to discuss the matter
with him.
Mr.. Barnes explained to her that the
president had nothing to do with such
subjects and that she would better take
up the matter with the head of the de-
partment from which her husband had
been discharged.
Mrs. Morris declared in a loud tone
that she had come to the white house
to see the president and proposed to
see him even if sh had to camp out
there for a month
AS Mrs Morris is a large woman,
three officers had difficulty in handling
her but eventually they picked her up
bodily and with the assistance of one of
the white house servants carried her
screaming to the police call box on
the east side of the white house. She
was forced to get into a patrol wagon
and was taken to the house of deten-
ton. There she was placed under the
care of the matron who succeeded in
calming her.
Thus far no charge has been fled
against Mrs. Morris. She has been a guest
weeks, registering from the District OF
Columbia. She is not known at the
White House and the name Minor Morris
does not appear in the latest city direc-
tory
