Brinckerhoh The1tre for oratoricll contests
rather than for plays, but the drinking scene
at the beginning OF tho third act was torn
on with such vigor and with such buoyant
nonohalance that many Of the mammas held

When the curtain rose on the scene a set

states Of sobriety, or lack OF it. There was a
sound Of many voices, as when a roomful Of
people are having a heated discussion, and
the air was thick with smoke, which the
coach had created by madly smoking one
cigar after another between the acts. Every

The moving was begun at $3.50 o'clock

large van owned by the United States
Express Company carried all the yalu-
ables. Husky porters sweate under
the weight of the wealth. Bonds were
poured into the a by the bushel.
Stacks of large bills were compressed
into as small a pac as possible, loaded
on large trays and dumped into the
van.
Three Uniformed policemen. three
plainclothesmen and a small army of

treasure while it was taken slowly

concerned. it is doubtful if a dozen per-
sons realized that a fortune was being
carted down Broadway.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-The cotton
market opened steady at a ecline Of Q
points to an advance of Z points, and
during the first few minutes sold I to
IL points net higher on the active
months as a result of aggressive bull
support and scattered buying for both
accounts. Offerings increased on the
advance. which carried prices to within
a point of the high level for the move
ment, and later fluctuations became
somewhat irregular, with the market
easing a point or two from the top UNI

The market was less active late in the
forenoon, with fluctuations irregular
and prices at one time showing a nev
loss of 10 points on August. while the
