WHO IS THE SOUNDING SHAD?
HIS Is HabituaIiy Merry and Bright,
Affords Interest, Amusement
and Some Sport.

We note with a profound sense Of
qualification that the sounding sbad
has arrived. Who is the sounding
shad? some may ask. We answer
that he is a fine old sport whose
presence in this country causes a
fiutter in the breast of every suscep-
tible ichthyologist. Let there be no
misconception about the sounding
shad, says the London Globe. He is
not billiard-room guy that one may
casually challenge to a hundred up,
or a low comedian, OF new thing in
trombones.
No. The sounding shad is a regu-
lar and welcome visitor who arrives
when the song of the nightingale Is
heard in the Surrey lanes, and the
liquid notes of the American tourist
percolate through the atmosphere of
bloomsbury. He is a ish-just a
fish, but one of the right sort.
As the Birmingham Post tells us.
he comes "tumbling and gamboling
up certain Of our rivers, affording in
terest amusement excitement and
some sport. He Is not occasionally,
he Is habitually merry and bright. He
IS, say the naturalists, "anadromous, !"
but he does not let little thing like
that bother him. He tumbles and
gambols just the same, and livens the
cold monotony Of our rivers.
BY day and night" we are told,
the saltations of the sounding shad
suggest the gambolings of dolphins
or porpoises."
To this merry fellow we extend a
cordial welcome, though we know
there are churlish anglers who, hear.

LARGE COTTON CROP
IS NEEDED BY MILLS
Manufacturers Say Big Crop
Would Not Lower Price.
MILLS ARE FORCED TO CURTAII
A Good Supply Of Raw Cotton This Year
Would Go Far Toward Equalizing the
Cost Of Raw Material

New Orleans.--W While the high price
OF cotton this season, due to the ac-
tual scarcity of that staple, has been
boon to Southern producers, whose
yield was so materially curtailed by
the combination Of unfavorable wealth
er and insect damages during the last
growing season, it has been some
thing of blow to the cotton manufac-
turing industry While the price Of
cotton cloth has advanced materially,
it has hardly kept pace with the rise
in the raw material, and, even if it
had, the supply of raw material avail
able would not have permitted the op-
Grafton Of all the mills on full time
While curtailment has been notice
able all over the world, it has been
more marked among American mills
than elsewhere. Establishments, both
North and South, have been forced
to curtail production, some stopping
but few days a week, others run
ming alternate weeks, and still others
closing down altogether, leaving the
number of mills running full time re-
duced to comparatively moderate pro-
portions. Mills have remained run
ming at least on short time wherever
possible, owing to the loss that en-
tire stoppage entails, as fixed charges
go on whether the plant be run or
not, and when idle there is no source
of income wherewith to meet the
charges.
AS a result of short time and cur
tailment among American mills many
operatives have been thrown out of
employment. In the big manufacture
ing centers of New England this con-
dition of things is beginning to be
severely felt, and in many portions
of the South labor is also suffering.
The only prospect of relief lies in the
hope of a good cotton crop this sea-
son. good supply of raw cotton
would do a good deal toward equaliz-
ing the cost of the raw material and
the manufactured product and enable
the mills to resume full time.
A large crop, on the other hand,
holds out not the smallest prospect
of what might be called low prices, as
with the re-establishment of anything
like a reasonable parity between raw
cotton and manufactured cloths the
demand from the mills for cotton
would readily absorb the largest yield
that the South could possibly produce.
It would take a succession of big crops
OF bring prices down to anywhere
near basis that would be unprofta-
BILE to the producers, hence the lat
ter have nothing to fear but a crop
failure, which, while it might bring
big profits to few, would be disas-
trous to the great majority.

MAYOR CAYNOR RECEIVERS.
Hsw York City's Chief Executive is Now Con

New York William j. Gay

WORLDS FAIR BURNS.
Belgian Exposition is Destroyed. Loss WfI bs
$lOO, 900.


Brussels, Belgium The White City
Of the Worlds Fair, as the Belgians
have called their 1910 exposition, is a
mass of smouldering ruins.
A spark falling into infammable ma

by high wind, swept rapidly in all
directions. Soon the Belgian, English
and French sections were destroyed.
The fremen and detachments of sol
diers, called quickly to the scene.
found themselves baffied by the veri-
table gale, which carried the burning
embers to all parts 'of the grounds
At the time of the outbreak not less
than 100000 persons were circulating
in the grounds. Troops were ordered
out and came at double quick to aid
the police in clearing off the great
grounds. This was accomplished in
fair order, except within the limits of
the Kermesz, where the vast crowds
became entangled in an almost mex
tricable mass, fighting desperately to
find an escape from the flames which
swept viciously through the tinderlike
structures. Soon the enormous ia.
cade tumbled in ruins.
Considering the rapidity of the fla
grafton the small loss of life is mar
velous. So far is as known, up to a
late hour, only two are dead The in
jured, as officially announced, number
80, but probably many hundreds re-
ceived minor hurts.
AS the flames reached the menage-

but the heat drove back the soldiers,
and the animals we're left to their
fate,
Many jewel exhibitors were unin-
sured. In the French art section the
priceless Gobelins, paintings and
sculpture were ruined, as were the
rich treasures in the English, Belgian,

archives were burned, and it will,
therefore, be impossible to confer
