DOVE OF PEACE TOOK FLIGHT

Time Not Ripe for Even Declaration
OF a Truce.
The late Judge Hill of Sandwich,
n. H.. used to tell the following story:
There were two old men living In
Carroll county who had been bitter
enemies for many years. AS the years
rolled by, time had a softening effect
on one of them, and he took occasion
10 do generous thing for his enemy.
Filled with the consciousness Of hav-
ing done a kindness to his foe, he
called on him and related the circum-
stances, and added: After all, Mr..
Blank, am not the worst man in the
world. am II"
Mr.. Blank sat in gloomy silence dur
ing the narrative. and then. looking
surlily at him. replied: you may not
be the worst man ever was, but you
are the worst that ever saw"
The white wings OF peace were not
there that time.

Senator Finds Work Hard.

Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, in
conversation with frieri the other
day, laughingly observed that If he
had any idea as to the amount of
work he would have = perform he
never would have takel- the job as a
member Of the United States senate.
There seems to be absolutely no end
to It," be said, "My secretary tells me
that | answer on an erage 1875 letters
a day" The correspondence OF sen.
ator, although the dreariest drudgery,
Is not so laborious as the hard work
Of committees which he allied upon
TO perform, nor does It consume as
much of his time rs the endless rou-
tine of social engagements.

interviewing Sarah Bernhard.

Sarah Bernhard nearly always Is
s~ady to talk with newspaper men on
subjects which interest her, but equal
regularity refuses to discuss topics
which she dislikes. In the latter case
she makes puzzling replies, forcing
the interviewer to choose another %
ject. On one occasion report was
sent to find out what colors, food and
wine she preferred, what hours she
slept and so on. The tragedienne talk
ed freely until she was asked as to
food. This ,.- a subject too gross
for madame, who said: II sometimes
eat more than do at other times, but
never lesI."

Using a Match.
The folly OF hunting for leak in a
gas pipe with lighted match is not
so much because of the danger of an
explosion as of other damage, as Is
shown by the experience of West
Philadelphia householder last week.
One or two small leaks were detected

smell of gas ceased, but was replaced
a few hours later by the smell OF
burning wood. Another visit to the
cellar showed charred floor joist a
little distance above gas pipe. There
was no apparent cause for this until
very close examination discovered
that tiny jet of gas was Issuing
from the pipe beneath the beam. II

COTTON MARKET
CLOSES SHADE LOWER
Opening Was Steady at an Ad-
vance of 3 to II Points
FREE SOUTHERN OFFERINGS
In the Afternoon the Market Ruled
Quite Easy Under Liquidation,
But Closes Near the
Lowest Point.
FREE SOUTHERN OFFERINGS

New York September 14.-After higher
opening the cotton market eased off under
realizing and closed at a net decline of
to 10 points. Sales for the day were esti-
mated at 225, 900 bales. The opening was
steady at an advance of to IL points in
response to higher cables than expected.
This advance carried the market about SIS
to 40 points above the recent low level
and there was heavy realizing, which was
promoted by reports Of a less pressing
spot demand and freer southern offering.
A few stop loss orders were caught on
scale down to around last nights prices,
and in the afternoon the market ruled
quite easy under liquidation. There was
a slight rally toward o'clock. owing to
a firmer turn in the New Orleans market,
but the lowest prices were made in tho
late trading, and while the closing tone
was steady on covering. the market was
only point or two up from the lowest.
Receipts at the ports today were 25OS
bales. against 1881 last week. and $3.50
last year. For the week $4,000 bales,
against 72,746 last week and 2ls,53O last
year. Todays receipts at New Orleans
were 1888 bales. against 1894 last year. and
at Houston II. S65 bales, against 1927 last
year.

Ware g. LeIand,s Market Letter.

The course of prices was a disappoint-
ment to the bulls this morning. Logically,
December cotton should have sold nearer
$40 than $50 on the very bullish cables
from Liverpool, but logic plays very little
part in the cotton market nowadays.
The bears late In the morning met with
about the same measure OF disappointment
as did the bulls for they made hard
effort to put prices down only to find
their heavy offerings eagerly snapped up.
One lot of 5000 December presumably
offered on an order from New York. was
sold at one price and Immediately after
the market advanced a point or two
1t seemed just as hard to put the price
below $40 for December as 1t was to pE
1t above $50 for the same position. Pr-
vate cables explained the rather wide adj
vance in the Liverpool market, which
was not due on the fluctuations in the
New York market yesterday, at least by
saying that shorts were covering and
the local. continental and Egyptian oper-
ators were buying.

ingness of the Bank of France to re-
lease gold for shipment to New York. A
fall in sterling exchange at Paris today
lessened the prospect of gold moving
from that center to London which has
been canvassed as an indirect method of
renewing supplies available to the New
York demand.
The late furry in money was attributed
to the preparation for some large diyi-
dend payments due tomorrow, the prin-
cipal of which Is the 100000 payable to
Standard Oil stockholders. This proved a
restraint on any sympathetic response to
the buoyant upshoot in Reading, and
made an irregular closing.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par
value 81, O66OO0. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.
