HARLAN MAY YET
 RECEIVE PARDON

Washington, July 16.-(Specia1.)-W. s. Harlan, who was convicted of peonage in the Florida district court and sen- fenced to IS months Imprisonment and a fine of s5oOO. is in Washington. The case has created much interest all over the count-J, owing to Harlan's prominence and the efforts which have been made to secure for him pardon. Practically tho entire congressional representation of the south and west, from which section Harlan originally came, is being exerted upon the President, and men prominent in the business world are asking for the Presidents leniency. The case Is in the bands of the Attorney General, who upon the recommendation of the assistant attorney general, MT. Russell, made a preliminary report adverse to Harlan. The matter is being reconsidered and there are developments which are favorable 10 Harlan and may cause pardon from the President.

 ->---@---~--->>---~--~>-- ~-~7>---- of the speedy enforcement of said law and other laws"
 Something new Is the idea to tax such liquors as the state may allow to be sold. The If drunk to excess provision makes 1t hard to say what these will be, but it is thought that the leading idea Is to have license for such beverages as near-beer, white top and hop-jack. It is not doubted that such a regulation would bring in considerable money. At present the state is getting nothing from this class of business, though the cities are laying heavy tax on them
 In spite of the ruling of the supreme court, call is made to prevent club lock- CTS, this to be reached by revision of the laws by which they are incorporated. Inhibition against storage is also sought, but just how Is not made plain.
 To Revise Many Laws.
 It is proposed in the call to amend or revise" chapter 24S of the criminal code, dealing with the making and the sale of liquors, forms of indictment for such of lenses, selling to minors and incorporate people, giving or selling to people of un- sound minds. having liquors near places of worship, evasion of the laws, duty of officers, revenue license as evidence and printing lists of holders of such licenses, tdklIlS OTueTS TOT OtlleT IeTTllOTy, when physicians may sell, penalties for selling and dozens of other heads.
 Just how to get liquors held in prohibit tion territory declared contraband and subject to destruction is not pointed out, but a law to that effect Is included. An other way is also sought by new laws to prevent out-of-the-state interests estab- fishing sales agencies and shipping in. This is to be reached by refusal to license any foreign corporation to do any busi- ness in the state illegal for a domestic corporation.
 Railroad laws are confined to re-enact- ment of any that have failed and pro- vision for allowing cities to enforce build ing viaducts and bridges. This last is sup posed to be in the interest of Birming- ham, that it may get It's rail lines off the main streets.
 Commission Government. Commission form of government is rec ognized, this being in the interest of Mo- bile, Birmingham and Montgomery all having shown a desire for a change from the old city council plans.

PRICES OF COTTON CUT DOWN SHARPLY Break Occurs Principally on
 Boil Weevil Report HUNTER VERY POSITIVE
Government Expert Says That Boil Weevils Have Been Killed by Hot Sun and That Damage Will
 Not Be Great.

New York, July 16.-One of the most remarkable breaks in the history of the cotton market occurred today as a result of a special report on the boil weevil by the government entomologist, pr. Hunter. At the end of the decline new deliveries were selling a t $2 less than the close Thursday
 The break was marked by panicky liquidation and excitement seldom equalled except in times of complete demoralization. Within half an hour prices declined fully 35 points. and while the market recovered a few points, the close was barely steady. The decline today was the continuation of a gradually increasing lack of con fdence in the stability of prices, which nearly reached the 13 cents level earlier in the week, when the low July condi- tion report was received showing a continuation of hot, dry weather in Texas, where the crop was supposed to be rapidly deteriorating. Bullish in- terests were disappointed that crop dis aster predictions did not create enor- nous demand for contracts to insure future supplies. The selling movement which started around 12S7 cents for December early in the week continued in increasing volume until at the open ing today December contracts were selling at 12.15 cents.
 Upon the publication of the boil weevil statement indicating that the pest was less threatening this year than last liquidation was of a record break ing character and was not checked un- til December had reached 11.95 cents, 47 points down from the previous close and about s7 points decline from the season's high record.
 Rumors of rains in Texas were de- nied tonight and bulls pointed out that the conditions which have restricted the ravages of the boil weevil have also been very unfavorable to the plant. But it is believed a strong bear clique has been formed under the leadership of Theodore s. Price, that this exerted a strong influence on the market and probably will remain factor in the immediate situation.

A Hcrse's Toe Nails,

Few pcrsons realize that horses hoof Is really the same thing as the toe nails of human beings or of ami mals ha, ing toes. The horn of a hoot grows just as toe nail does. The hoof grows more rapidly in unshod horses than in those wearing shoes, and 1t grows faster in horses which are well groomed and well fed. But on an average the horn grows about | third of an inch a month. Hind hoofs grow faster than fore hoofs. The tos of the hoof being ths longest part, 1t takes longer for tho horn to grow down there than at the heel. For in. stance. the toe will grow entirely down in from eleven to thirteen months. while the heel will grow down in from three to i've months. As the new horn grows out any cracks or defects in the old gradually work down to where they can be cut of. just as with human finger nails you can watch the progress of bruise from the root to the tip.- London Answers.

Pretty Absentminded.

A book about George Canning and his friends contains among It's anec- dotes two which deal with HookhalL H. Frere and the absentmindedness for which he was noted. Frere married Lady Errol, and while they were en- gagged he took her into supper at a ball. While they were talking he drank up the glass of wine he had poured out for her and then took her back supperless to the ballroom. After the wedding he went straight from the church to MT. Murray. the pub ner. to which he very nearly agreed. remembering only just in time that Lady Errol was waiting to start on the honeymoon"

Ancient Skates.

The English chronicler has recorded that the youth of London in the twelfth century understood the art of flying over the ice like birds in the air, but the origin of skating is far more an cient. An Icelandic saga relates how the Norwegian hero Frithjof not only traced verses upon the polished mirror but also cut the dear name of Inge bord Skates have been discovered near Spandau, in Germany, which those competent to express an opinion at tribute to a period of 5000 years ago. These skates were made from bones of horses, figured and perforated to at tach to the sandal. Similar skates have been found at Moorfelds, in Fins bury, and like discoveries have been made in Berlin in the bed of the Spree These and similar discoveries, we learn. enable the authorities to con- clude that tue European ice area in prehistoric times extended from Great Britain 10 Finland and from Norway to Hungary London Globe.
