| the Truth Shall Make You Free, -
! delivered here today in Philander
| Smith College chapel, by Principal
Isaac Fisher, Of the Pine Bluff
| Branch Normal College, under the
auspices of the Lincoln Emancipa-
| ION Club, the speaker discussed
! eeveral phases of soul slavery from
which, he said, the Great Emanci-
pator was not able to free the negro.
After showing that the knowledge
Of truth is freeing the race from
ignorance, poverty and vice, Prof
Fisher said:
,'Mr. President. truth endureJh
forever; and its power to make
mems minds and bodies free does
not weaken with the years. And,
so, while we do honor TO him VIII
gave us the first real liberty We
ever knew, it is fitting that we hold
sweet converse relative to the bonds
of slavery in which our souls yc.

We tan, the truths which shah set

slavement to the curse OF envy In

his good fortune and to wish and
plot his downfall. To the envious

There is no more important dut2

These members are called on to leg
~ lslate for the people of the entire

No ban who is not above the charge

either the House or Senate. A Rep

is also essential that our legislators
be intelligent, broad gagged and

The Lion and the Mouse.

There Is nothing in the local bookings for the current season that will attract the interest Of playgo- CTS to a greater extent than"The Lion and the Mouse," which Henry B. Harris will present here in the very near future, and which comes with an endorsement that has not hith- erto been vouchsafed any produc- tion of recent years. Charles Klein wrote the play and when Henry B. Harris gave New Workers the op- portunity of viewing it they liked it so well that it ran for two years at the Lyceum theater in that city
 The Boston judgment was expressed in crowded houses for eight months, and for the twenty-five weeks it ran n Chicago the attendace exceeded anything in the history of Chicago l theatricals. t'The Lion and the Mouse" is booked here for one night oily, Friday, February 21.--

SPOT MARKET
 IS VERY DULL
Liverpool Drops to Sales of Only 6,OoC Today-Spots Also Quiet in Amer ica-Curtailment of Indian Mills Said to Be the Cause Of the Slump.

New Orleans, Feb. 19.--Liverpooi disappointed expectations relative to spot demand. Spot sales there drop ped back to total of 5000 bales The advance in cotton during the past two days was based on spot strength in connection with the i'm proved business in China conse- nuently any indication of let-up in this is of importance. In the absence of broad speculation continued sup port by spots in one form or another is required to sustain the markets. We hear from New York that the same parties who tried to force bull movement before the recent break have again accumulated long lines and talk of forcing shorts to cover. This is probably the explanation ot the advance today which followed the lower opening. The markets are so narrow that manipulative moves are easy to execute, but present trade re- ports offer a strange contrast with such attempts. It is hardly possible to read more pessimistic account of the situation in all branches Of manufacturing than that contained in the leading New York commercial paper of Monday. It says, in s-N2rt:
 "Burlap mills in India are reduc- ing output; linen spinners in Ireland agree to curtail further; hosiery mills in Germany find the curse of overproduction; looms are being shut down steadily in Lancashire: in our own country silk mills, hosiery and underwear factories, weaving plants, woolen and worsted mills, cotton cloth mills and yarn mills are either closing entirely Or shutting down part of their machinery"
 Today's dry goods report says that at the great auction sale of dress goods prices averaged over 10 per cent under the list. Cotton yarns are easier and the volume of business light.
 These are the facts of the situation hard to overcome by sentiment.
 The spot market is very quiet to- day, but about 1900 bales were sold yesterday after hours, which will go into today's discount. Buyers say it is easy to buy at quotations. The reason why the lower grades here are not as large discount under middling as in the Eastern spot market, is that our low grades are of better character.
 A message from Savannah says there is much weather-beaten and rain-stained cotton among the low grade offerings of that market.
 Futures are quiet, but steady around last nights closing figures, owing to several wires from New York indicating a concerted action to push it up to run in shorts.
