Bullets as CIews.

A bullet is not Il specially valuable
clew in a criminal case, but that it is
better than nothing has been
abundantly proved upon several &C
caSions.
For instance. early in the spring of
1889 armed burglars broke into the
residence of q gentleman at Muswcll
Hill, and. being disturbed. shot him
through the body.
There was no clew but the bullet
Yet the police We're able, by It's aid, to
fix the crime upon one Lyster. a
notorious rutfian, who, with two COM
panions named Burdett and Clarke
was sentenced to penal Servitude for
life. Contrary to all expectation the
injured gentleman recovered from his
terrible wound, ana now wears the
bullet attached as charm to his
watch charm.
Even more remarkable was the case
of the burglar Orrock, who shot and
killed policeman named Cole at Dali
ston on the night of December 1, 1882
The fatal bullet was taken from the
ccnstable's skull, and was found to be
marked with a peculiar nick. 1t was,
of course. carefully preserved.
A year later its possession was
traced to the murderer He was
proved to have fired an identical bullet
from the same revolver, for practice
at tree on Tottenham marches. This
tree was cut down, and there, en-
bedded in it's heart was found the tell
tale piece of lead. 1t formed the last
connecting link in one of the most re-
markable chains of circumstantial
evidence ever forged against a
criminal, and Orrock was duly con-
victed and hanged.
Then, again, there was the famous
case OF the three Netherby Hall bur
glars. who were hanged together at
Carlisle in February. 1886, mainly on
bullet extracted from the body of a
constable whom they murdered. which
precisely correspondent with a num-
Der of ball cartridges found in the
possession of one of the gang.--Pear-

To "VaIorize" Cotton.

The president of the New Orleans
Cotton Exchange announces plan,
said to be supported by the Exchange
and the merchants and planters of
that section. for having the State of
Louisiana construct a hugh warehouse
For cotton on the river front in New
Orleans 1t is said that it would be
big enough to store the entire cotton
crop of the South" and would cost
several million dollars 'The prime
object of the movement" says the New
Orleans dispatch announcing the pro-
Ject, sis to control the cotton crop and
the price of the staple and it is said
to have the backing Of the Southern
Cotton Association, as well as the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange"
Pres w. 3. Thompson of that En-
change is reported as saying that the
warehouse should be a quasi pub
lie institution in which the city and
State will be Interested" and that it
would be under the direction of a pub
lie commission. He would have it UNI
derstood that it is not money making
enterprise" If a company We're to be
organized to build the structure it

would have to be a profit making
charge Tor handling cotton" AS a
public utility" he says, the charges
would De minimized. We would only
want to charge enough to pay interest
on bonds, the cost of maintenance and
a certain reserve fund to pay FOR wear
and tear"
Unless this Socialistic public utility
was more efficiently and economically
likely to tie the case, if the scheme
should be adopted, it would be found
that charges would be far from min
imiznd." The cost of operation and
maintenance and the reserve for wear
and tear would certainly not be less
than if the warehouse business was in
private hands. and interest on state
bonds issued fer such purpose would
be a fair return upon private capital
used for the same purpose But the
real objection t. such a scheme is the
introduction Of the State with it's au-
thcrity and its credit into a plan for
controlling and maintaining its price.
IN principle is on a par with the
Brazilian valoriZation of coffee and it
might lead to something very like it
in practice. If the State of Louisiana
should maintain warehouse for the
cotton of the South, where it could be
sent and stored at a certain charge
until some fixed price could be had for
it, and if it should prove in any sea-
son that it could not be marketed at
the price 1iNed it would not be long be-
fore dissatisfaction arose and it might
be demanded that Louisiana and other
cotton States pay for the cotton while
it was being held and reimburse them
selves by selling it when the price
could be obtained. Sac Paulo buys
coffee and has it stored in private
warehouses near the chief markets for

mic as the other and as sure to lead to

RED SUN.
Substitute Teacher Learns Something
From Pupils Drawings.

That the sun is always red south of
Tooth street has been learned by a
young woman who is acting as sub
stitute teacher in the Chicago public
schools. Never having been in the
vicinity of the steel mills and docks
at the mouth of the Calumet river be-
fore, she had had certain impressions
as to the appearance of Old SOL and
it. took roomful of pupils in one of
the primary grades to bring her to
realization of the fact that the sun -
not always golden"
A teacher in the first grade Of a
South Chicago school was i'll and the
young substitute took her place for a
day or two. One of the periods on
the schedule set by the principal was
to be devoted to the drawing of OBJ
jects in cOlored crayons. Rather
nervous on account of the strange
surroundings. the young woman lost
all her originality and instructed the
children to draw a picture OF the sun,
giving the center of the page of paper
to the solar orb and the remainder to
sky and clouds.
Enthusiastically the children went
to work with the slender sticks Of
color and within a few minutes they
settled back in their seats one by. one,
with eyes on the teachers desk When
all had finished the sheets We're col
lected and handed in. 1t was then
that the young woman received the
severe shock to her sense of the fit
! ness of things. In the geometrical
center of each sheet was a round

The mods of assent from the other
children prompted the young substi-
tute to walk to the window and take
a peep at the source OF light. still east
of the meridian. The sun hung

trayed in the color selected by many
