The death in New York of Prof An
gelo Heilprin deprives the world of a
noted scientist. Prof. Heilprin, who
was a native of Hungary, came to the
United States when an infant and re-
ceived his education here, rising to
special eminence as geologist,
though his versatility was shown by
his achievements in other fields. His
explorations in various directions add
ed greatly to the sum of human
knowledge. and the results were en-
bodied In numerous instructive vol
umes. One of his most notable
achievements was the ascent of Mont
Pelee Immediately after the great and
destructive eruption of that Mar
Unique volcano in 1902 He risked his
life in scientific investigation and
calmly took notes Of the phenomena
on the very edge of the blazing era

The Cotton Market.

On Saturday cotton prices went up
in anticipation Of a bullish ginners'
report. Upon its receipt, however, on
Monday prices went down immediate
ly, although the figures, S,3SS, coo, were
indicative of a crop Of about II, 900, 3
eco bales,
Prices were fairly steady, though
declining Monday afternoon and Tues
day morning. When at II noon the
government estimate of 11,67S, GOO
bales was given cut, the market went
down from thirty to sixty points. The
fact that the government has hitherto
failed to come within million bales of
the actual crop raised operated to run
prices down. Had it been believed that
the figures given out would actually
comprise the amount Of cotton grown in
1907, prices would have gone to u cents.
The realization on Thursday that the
government figures were more correct
than usual had the effect of bringing
up prices from thirty to forty points,
or from a quarter to half a cent 9
pound.
Today the market is steady at about
the prices that prevailed before the
government estimates came out.

Now that the farmers Of the South
are preparing TO take steps to store
thor cotton and use it as a basis for
borrowing money. brings torecolection
the fact that this will not be the first
time cotton was ever used for that pur-
pose. In fact cotton has always been
the equivalent of gold, and it never
fails to bring it when put on the mar
ket. Back in the sixties. when the bal
ance Of America was using either Con
federate money or greenbacks, the Con
fedcratc government could occasionally
slip a cargo of cotton through the
blockades, and when she did, as soon
as it reached the markets of Europe it
could draw without the least difficulty
for money, good, hard yellow gold,
while everybody else bod to put up with
scrip or promise to pay.
There is nothing with a sounder basis
value than cotton. 1t can always be
traded, and its equivalent is gold 1t
is the cotton crop Of this country that
is bringing gold to the United States
now, when it is so badly needed. But
for the cotton crop the money market
would be too light to prize open with a
crowbar. But cotton never fails to act
as a lever with which to prize open the
money vaults of the country tits the
best security that can be given. 1t is
even better than land, because it can
always be disposed Of, and that for gold.
1t is better than almost any other kind
of security that can be offered, because
it always has a value. 1t may fuctuate
at times, but when the Zimmerman gets
in a condition to place his price on the
staple, instead of letting someone else
do that for him, it viii come mighty
near calling for just what it is worth.
When the farmers of the South get
in candition to use their cotton as ba-
sis for credit they will be on safe
grounds Cotton certificates will be just
as good as clearing house as good as
money Of the government, because il
can always be exchanged for it. The
idea is not a new one, it has been done
before, and canbe done just as success

Mere Sensations in The ThaW
Trial.

New York, San. .31.-Sensations were
frequent in the Thaw murder trial to-
day, and before the two sessions of court
had ended three sworn jurors had been
released from further service in the case,
making five in all summarily excused
from the trial panel puring the last three
days. In the case of two ofthe released
jurors no explanation was made in
court. The third was allowed to go
upon physicians certificate that his
life would be imperiled by the close
confinement Of jury service. Three
satisfactory talesmen were found to re-
place the excused jurors, SO that when
the rapidly shifting situation underwent
a survey at the close Of the day there
were again eleven men in the jury box;
the same number that had been seated
at the close of yesterdays session.
Rumors We're current tonight that the
end of the jury changes is not yet in
sight and that further chapters may be
added to what has already become an
unprecedented record in criminal
procedure in New York city.

FUN FOR DEMOCRATS.
A Citizen Of Color Booked fef Sur
YeyOr OF Customs at Cincinnati,
and the Fire Alarm Sen
dtOf Caught Where
He Can't
SQuedI.

Washington. D. c., Jan. 3l.-The de-
termination of President Roosevelt to
appoint negro surveyor of customs at
Cincinnati to succeed Amor Smith, Jr.,
former mayor of the city, has aroused
amused interest among Southern Dem
ocrats in Congress.
It IS understood that the President
will nominate Ralph Tyler, of Colum-
bus, for the place. IN this way he will
work revenge on Senator Foraker, who
has so faithfully espoused the cause of
the blacks during the discussion of the
Brownsville affair in the Senate. The
Ohio senator has been looking for
candidate tor this job for some weeks,
put he had not the slightest idea of
recommending a negro, despite the
fact that the normal so, 900 Republican
majority in Ohio represent the total of
the colored vote cast in that State.
It is interesting to hear the COM
ments of Northern Republicans with
respect to this appointment. They de-
clare that the President is trying to
force carpet-bag negro on the people
of Ohio. They talk under their breath,
for they know it will never do to defeat
the confirmation of negro appointed
to a 5000 job on the recommendation
. of Booker Washington.
Southern Senators, in discussing the
matter today said that if the Browns
Vile agitation resulted in nothing
more, it will accomplish good if it in
duces the President te extend the ap-
pointment OF negro office holders to the
North.
Senator Tillman expressed his vigor-
Gus approval of the appointment. ST
wish the President would name a dozen
in as many cities of the North, and give
these Iong-distance negro sympathlzers
chance to accord the negro the fair
play that they prescribe so literally
for Southern people,
Some one asked Senator Foraker to-
day if he would vote for the confirma-
ton of Tyler 'Why do you ask me or
Senator Dick?'' replied the sarcastic
Ohioan. ''Since we, the Senators from
Ohio, were not consulted as to Tyler's
selection, you had better goand ask the
Senator for Ohio
'sWho is the Senator for Ohio?'
ssWhy, Booker T. Washington, of
course was the reply.
