New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, December 15.-Spot cot ton dull, 1-16c lower. Middling 8 11-1ec sales on the spot TOO bales; to arrive, 450. Sbt
 Futures opened quiet and unchanged. Cables were favorable and immediate ly after the first call prices rose 1Q3 points. This was the highest level of the day, the price sagging under dull ness owing to the approaching census bureau report on ginning and also under the effect of an easier feeling in the spot market which was inten- sified until near the close of the ses- sion when they stood at net loss of 5@7 points. Profit taking by shorts late in the day steadied the market somewhat The close was barely steady with prices showing a net decline of 4@7 points.

Plan to Prevent Tong War.

San Francisco, December 15.-A novel plan for preventing the Tong war, which has been brewing for some time in the local Chinese quarter, has been devised by the Chinese consul general, Gnu Ping Chun, who has is- sued a proclamation threatening the relatives of the troublemakers living in China with punishment if there is any further outbreak here. The con sul general has warned the Highbind- CTS of the two neighboring tongs that another affray will cause him to send their names to the Chinese minister at Washington and that the latter will transmit them to the viceroy, who will cause their relatives to be punished.

What d President Says

One Of the best posted men in the
work Of making Lyceum course
power and n success is Frank 4. Weld.
president OF the State Normal school
at Moorhead, Minn. He organized
tile Lyccum Association at Saltwater
Mimi, which is now Incorporated and
part owner of the fine new opera
house, while he was superintendent OF
schools in that city. President Weld
has had the management OF n Lyceum
course for twelve years and now, at
MOorhead, conducts one of the best in
the state. His opinion as to its value
has weight:
"a course. of Lyceum attractions
affords instructive and wholesome en-
tertainment at moderate cost. Such
course or entertainments has a dis
tinctivc mission, and IT. reaches Il
large class Of individuals. An effective
lecturer exerts stimulating and very
direct influence upon the minds of his
hearers, and, indirectly, he touches
the lives of many other people. The
value OF good lectures to the moral
and intellectual life of community
cannot be estimated. The town
which supports Il Lyceum course is
trying to keep abreast of the times.
and many community, believed to
be dead to things intellectual, has
been aroused to enthusiastic support
OF all good things under the guiding
influence OF a Lyceum course. There
are very few towns in which Lyceum
course may not be made success, A
little work, careful advertising, and a
i judicious selection of lecturers and
other attractions will insure good re.
suits, always. Strong attractions
always bring the best returns from
every point of view. a Lyceum course
is success, If the enterprise breaks
even. The best returns to com.
munity are not in money values. II
is an encouraging sign to note the
active interest which small commun.
tiles are taking in the Lyceum course.
and the prediction may be safely
made that the Lyceum Bureau will
continue to exert an increasing influ.
ence in the shaping Of public opinion.
