In Sets of Nine Boxes.

In Sets of Nine Boxes.
The standard grade samples are put up
in sets of nine boxes by the department,
representing nine grades of white Ameri-
can cotton. But while this serves as a
sufficient grading standard the trade
recognizes grade between each of the
nine established by the government and
three grades above and three below the
government scale. The cotton buyer, on
getting his box of standard grade sam
pies, uses it to match the cotton that is
brought to him for sale.
A standard box is sold by the depart
ment for $50, and with good care will last
year or more before it begins to de-
teriorate.
What the department considers its
greatest triumph is in fixing the original
standard samples SO that they would not
deteriorate or change color. There has
never been permanent cotton standard
sample in the history of the world, the
reason being that it has never been posi-
bile to keep the standards from deterio-
rating.
In the present instance, after the
standard grades had been selected with
the greatest care by the committee of
experts, they were put in big glass
tubes. the air exhausted and the tubes
sealed just like an incandescent light
globe. In fact the actual work was
done at one of the big electric globe
plants.
Adopted by Exchange.

COURT CEASES
until may 81

District court came to close this
morning in SO far as Judge G. w. Yer
milian's presiding over the March
term is concerned and nothing further
viii be doing in court until May 81. At
8 o'clock a. m. on that date, Judge M.
A Roberts will take the reins and g
vacation term or properly speaking a
continuation Of the March term will be
held. The morning was busy one in
court and numerous attorneys were on
hand to close up cases that have been
hanging five during the term. Probate
matters, DEGREES. motions and the be-
ginning of liquor injunction case
was made. The court finished up by
10 o'clock and adjourned the session
until May 81.
Among the matters to receive atten-
ton by the court was an information
and affidavit filed last evening with
the clerk in which Charles Kirkland,
plaintiff and r. A. Mills relator allege
a violation Of the Moon law against w.
V. Silvers. The counsel for Mr.. Silvers
made a motion to have the case con-
tinued until next term of court. His
reasons were that in filing the case
with the clerk no copy Of the instru-
ment was filed and accompanied his
claim with affidavits by the clerk
and deputy. The opposing counsel
showed that the filing was not petit
ton and thereby did not require that
a copy be filed with the original. The
matter finally adjusted itself to the
satisfaction Of all concerned by the at
torneys agreeing to submit their sides
Of the case by brief to Judge Vermilion
during vacation.
In the Parks Bracey damage case
won by the plaintiff recently the
question Of taxing the costs was dis
cussed in court and the expense Of

hersed this morning and the counsel

ILLINOIS MINERS
TO STAY ON STRIKE
MEN AND OPERATORS UNABLE
TO REACH AGREEMENT AT
JOINT MEETING.

Peoria, May 2O.-All negotiations
between representatives of the United
Mine Workers of Illinois and the coal
mine operators of the state were de-
clared off last night. This means that
the strike of the $4,000 union coal
miners in the state, who have been
out pending the result of the confer
ence will be declared an indefinite
struggle.
The joint committee on wage scales
met yesterday and it was apparent
from the start that the members
would be unable to agree, but the con-
ference was not called off until de-
termined effort had been made to
get together on the disputed points.
The committee is composed of nine
men each from the miners and the
operators and almost as soon as the
meeting was called the three main
points of difference were referred to a
smaller committee Of eight members,
four from each side of the dispute.
These three questions were tonnage
mining rates, the closed shop, and the
regulations governing shot f1rers.
Just when the permanent strike or
der will be made has not been an
nounced, but it is certain the men will
not return to work pending further
adjustment of their difficulties.
President John H. Walker of the
state miners organization is here in
charge of the situation and it is likely
some of the officers Of the national
organization will come to the support
in the crisis.
