Albough admitting that the sah- ltary condition Of the interior oi the Pine Bluff postoffice was not of the best. City Sanitafian Sahde- fnr currie declares that he will not report the matter to the GU! council as a n1is'ance.
 The sanitarian gives as his req sons that the fact that several meh- bers of the city council, some oi them memberss of the committee on sanitary affairs, daily visit the p1ace and eff they do not see lit to take the matter up, said MT. Currie, 'I don't see what l can do.
 .I know the place is well cared for by Postmaster Furth, said Currie. in discussing the matter s'He has the postoffice cleaned o"t several times each day, but 1t IS difficult matter to keep it abso- lutely clean with shundreds of per sons walking in and out all day long,"
 The interior of the postoftice IS far from being we'll kept. TO De- gin with the building is not well aired and the disagreeable odor Is most annoying. One of the lady employees of the postoffice resigned her position some weeks ago be- cause of the unhealthy condition of the interior of the building.
 Several ladies have visited the Graphic office in the past week mak- ing complaints against the filthy condition of the postoffice. They added that something ought to be done by the city council to relieve the situation.

The conferment of the Wilhelm order by it's sovereign upon Frau krupp draws attention to the rarity of such distinctions in the case of women. The feminine order most in request in the fatherland is the Luisen order which now consists of two classes and admission to it is con- trolled by a committee of four Teu- tonic danes, who form secret court of inquisition to look very carefully into the claims of all who are deemed worthy of the honor. The first class. which is limited to a hundred, cannot be reached directly, except in the case of imperial princesses or foreign roy alties and additions to the order are not often made. In this connection it may be noted that the only distinc- tion of similar kind conferred by 1 King Edward during the past season was the kaiSar-i-Hind medal in gold
 which he handed to Lady Ampthill
 just before the great investure with
 which the court season was recently 1 brought to close.

THE ESSENCE OF
 MODERN JUDAISM

(Continued from Page Nine.) that it's practise squares with it's claims, ,i,- e.. lt:'lnuss not, only be pos sible of realization. but actually real
 ized by it's average adherents. The cultured man cannot endure mere fine sentiments that are never given
 bodily form.
 Fifth. IL must recognize that rellS-
 ion, like all other human institutions, is subject to the law of evolution, that it is ever growing purer and loftier
 in motive form aud ideal. This rules ont all svstems of belief that claim that religion reached it's highest de- velopment at some definite point in the past and has never attained to that grade since: + also objects to the assumption that sAe final and au- thoritatiyyie;,, word.

He will hesitate before starting new re- ligions. To float" new religions is much more momentous and risky task than to float new business enterprises. History will warn him that no new faith can escape gathering some inn purtes about it. History will like wise make clear to him the necessity of some antiquity for any movement that seeks the profound attachment of men, He will choose from those re- ligious systems that are already in eX- istence. In his choice he must be guided both by his reason and his emotion. If his intellect finds that on rational grounds solely this religion is as good as the other, he will follow his emotional cravings and choose the faith of his fathers. If he is lay man, a learner, he will use all his endeavors to cleanse his denomina tion's beliefs and usages of all impur- ites and remain within the camp no matter what happens. If he is an au- teacher, minister of rellg ion, he must likewise use his utmost endeavors to cleanse and perfect the religious system under which he is enrolled But if his efforts fail and there remain fundamental differences between his viewpoint and the official attitude of his church let him do the only manly thing left-step out,

Cottcr X Co.'S Daily Cotton Letter.

Cottcr X Co.'S Daily Cotton Letter.
 New Orleans, Jan. 12.--Saturday dullness and liquidation caused a disappointment. Liverpool, with futures to ,. fell below expecta- tions. This was at once followed in New York this morning with an opening decline of 16 to Is points and our market was forced into line Although we are now 70 points over New York, there was good resistance here to further decline around 1030 for March, owing to the large discount under spot values There is no specific or good reason for this decline today. Spot business continues large every where. Yesterdays sales in Liver pool are increased to 20, 900 bales and the turn over today reached a total of 1000 bales. New York simply weakened again on her bad COHlItCl duu uOeS 50 OH every Op- portunity our market following on traditional sympathy, out of fear and for lack of independent spirit and means.
 The visible supply statement for the week was distinctly bullish showing weekly rate of mill talk ings on the basis of 4.5OO, ,OOO- bale consumption as long as we can see weekly spinners' takings con tinue at this rate. there is no ground for uneaSlneS. The visible supply may pile all right for while in harmony with rapid movement of the crop, but it con- sists mostly of sold cotton that passes to the mills as fast as pos sible.
 The spot market is quiet, the de- cline checking business. Factory holdings are not responding to fu- lures. but some hedged cotton uu- der selling free hold
 more. Further weakness in futures in New York was followed here, pople fearing the bad effect of this dcline on Liverpool Monday.
