SNAIL OWED TIN TOY, WHlSTLED IN BREATHING

New York, April 29.-A round tin whistle about inch in diameter, with which ten year old Sampson Sheffer, son of Joseph Saeffer. a mer- chant of Baldwin, L.. l., had been play ing on Wednesday afternoon, slipped from between his lips and lodged in his windpipe. The boy ran frightened to, his father and tried to tell him what had happened. But he could not talk. Instead, each gasp of breath produced a muffled hissing whistle.
 The whistling continued for more than an hour,s when at last the boy managed to make his plight known to a nearby doctor, who had been called and who advised that the boy be taken to New York, where the X-ray could be used. He was taken in an auto mobile across the Williamsburg Bridge to the Har Mopiah Hospital, at Second street and Avenue A

Children Cry
 FOR FLETCHER'S c A S TT c R LA PHYSICIAN QUITS CASE
 OF SCARLET FEVER

Stamford, April 29.-Dr. Henry P. Gieb, who was called Tuesday by B. P. Jordan, the father of Elsie Jordan, to diagnose her illness and who made another visit Wednesday,, withdrew yesterday from the ease because the child's parents refused to let him pre- scribe for her.
 when MT. Jordan asked me to wis., it the girl again. said pr. Gieb. 'tI told him would do so, provided I was allowed to prescribe and have sole charge of the case. This MT. Jordan was unwilling to- consent to. I could not, I informed him, allow myself to be used as a shield behind which. to carry on a Christian Science treat nnent."
 All that MT. Crane, the health off cer, can do under the law is to en- force a quarantine of the house and to see that disinfectants are used, and he is doing this.

South Norwalk, April 2s.-sAny oth- CT inmates of this house ?'' asked Will liam M. Fully, local census taker, of Miss Anne sComstock, a Cranbury spinster. E
 stock. whose conception Of Uncle Sam's census was meagre. "The consequence was that Tom Comstock'' went down in the book described as t'white, six teen years of age, single, &c.''

The spectator at a profession base hall game takes little thought of felding statistics in general, but only of those shown in the score of the bending game. In the May Ameri- can Magazine. Hugh S. Fullerton makes interesting statements as the result of some very complete com putations; a few of these are as fol- lows:
 To discover what proportion of balls are hit on the ground, I. classi- in the National and American Leagues being represented in the figures Really l scored 1o.o74 plays Of grounders, 344 were bunts, and 957 line drives. as distinguished from aies. Of the 1O,o74 balls batted.. HOST halls. 747 fell safe and only IS were nuned, which shows that the fielders catch almost everything. they get SaasolI Eround balls. 454 were scored ore hits. OF the 344 bunts, 15 55 went safe, and Of those 155 the fielders got their hands on 114. Of the 957 line drives, TAI resulted in safe hits.
 But to show the ground-covering ability of the infielders further cal cuIation is necessary In scoring, 1ieve too hard to handle, and a small over hits which are doubtful either through pad bounding Of the ball or other cause !. Of the 424 hits through the inf1eld, 162 were marked "-v and 49 were marked ssD.'' So the players reached the ball 211 times and failed to field it; and of the 213 times the ball went through untouch- ed 46 were plain hit and run plays in which delders were going the wrong way, in other words, blunder- ing or being outgeneraled by the batsmAn.
 Out of the 5.171 grounders the players actually reached all except 213. whereas on the natural chances of covering the ground they should have reached only about 800 per cent instead of 959 per cent. of batted 2 aIls. The figures seem to show that by team work they were enabled to get in touch with 159 per cent. mora hatfed balls than the geon1etrv of the dtalnond would indicate

The National City bank of New York classed as a Standard Oil in st5kusion, opposes the postal savings bank blu pending in Congress. It has Issued a circular, the substance of which is that the measure would axect unfavorably the securities held by the banks--that is, the U. s. 3 per cents on which bank circulation is based. The circular says:
 The provision relative to the in NestfKnent of deposits in Government bonds in time of war or great na- 4ional crises is particularly unfortu- nate In order to secure the passage pf the bill through the Senate com proaaiae was affected whereby postal depoaits invested in Government Bonds at such times, should be only in bonds bearing not less than 2A per cent per annum. This is con- strued as a deliberate discrimination against the $731, 100000 two per cents which the Government has al ready issued.

Among the topics to be discussed in the forthcoming magazine, to be called the Journal of the American Hnatitl1te of Criminal Law and Grim fnolcgy.s z is the obstruction to the ecurse of Justice by the conduct of Newspapers in making comments up- eI1 81e trial of accused persons-'a
 It is not the habit of reputable iaezYARapers to comment upon the eviz denca in such eases while ela trial. but the reporter who can prevent his hias. if any. from appearing. in some indirect way, is avery scarce article. he real preventive of such slight and indfrect bias from exercising infiu- ence upon 5uries, is not to place re- atfictzons upon newspapers. for that might bH considered an infringement oa the constitutionally guaranteed ffeeaom of the press. but to seclude the jurors perhaps the presiding Judges also. for their judgment might hksN1ae be uhconsciously influenced by neWspaper comments and bias.

LITTLE CHANGE IN
PRICES OF COTTON
Fluctuations Are Irregular But
Very Narrow
OFFERINGS ARE FREE
Prices Rally Early and Make Consid-
cradle Advance but the LACK of
Bull Support Causes
n Reaction

New York, November 1o.-The cot
ton market was quiet during the days
trading and fluctuations were irregular
with a comparatively narrow range
as a result of evening up for over the
census report which Is to be published
at the opening on Monday morning.
The close was barely steady. net un-
changed to 3 points lower.
The market opened steady at I'M
changed prices to decline of Z points
under scattering liquidation and in
sympathy with easier Liverpool cables.
There was not much cotton for sale,
however, suggesting that small long
accounts had been pretty we'll prepared
for the census report In the week and
during the middle of the morning prices
rallied to q net advance of to 8
points on covering. But there was no
important bull support and after the
short interest has been reduced some
what the market eased off again un-
der realizing with the active months
closing a point or two under the clos
ing figures of last night as a rule.
There appeared to be no change In
expectations as to the probable show

which are expected to be somewhere
between 100000 and 100000 bales.
Private cables from Liverpool report
ed quiet and featureless market at
that point and the showing OF the week
end figures had been foreshadowed be-
fore the close of yesterdays market

Reviews of the dry goods situation
were closely in line with reports re-
ceived during the week, sales at Fall
River being smaller with talk of re-
newed curtailment based on the un-
satisfactory range of prices. The lead
ing English authority estimates the
average weekly consumption of cotton
by British mills during October at
$4,000 bales against $1,000 last year
and by the continent los, 900. or the
same as last year.
Receipts at the ports today, $3.50
bales against 47,579 last week, and
26,621 last year. For the week, 875,-

New York Cotton Futures.
New orIean. Cotton Mar,tet

New Orleans, November 19-Cotton
futures opened quiet at a decline of
to 2 points. Cables were about as ex-
pected and did not influence trading
on the first call. The weather WAS I'M
favora BILE, but little attention was paid
to 1t. Immediately after the call the
active months stood 2 to points I'M
der yesterdays close. Shorts began to
cover over the Weekend and they
found little cotton offering. At the end
OF the first half hour of business tho
trading months were to 6 points up
from the lowest and 3 points over yes
terday's last quotations.
Around the middle OF the morning
the market was steady and the more
active months were put to points
over yesterdays close. Shorts did not
like the weather forecast, which pre-
dioted unsettled weather, with rain
and possibly snow for the eastern half
OF the cotton belt over Sunday. Their
demand for cover was the chief sup
port of the market. There was very
little trading on the bull side and com
mission houses said that the outside
long interest was we'll liquidated be-
cause OF the nearness of the census re-
port on ginning. Guesses on this report
ranged all the way from 100000 to
100000 bales. The market closed
steady, l point down to points up
compared with yesterdays close.

most people indigestion. That is be-
cause they don't know how to eat them,
however. Listen:
THE average person selects solid
banana, without a fieck on Its blond
flesh of the fruit, and for seven or
eight hours afterward he keeps tasting
banana--he has ndigestion--theT next day,
ten to one, he rises with headache
"But the native considers such blond,
solid bananas green. The native eats d
banana whose skin. is quite brown, and
whose flesh has turned to n brownish
pulp of the consistency of stewed fult
The native, in fact, must eat his banaoa
with a spoon; 1t is so far gone as that.

Yet we couldn't stand it-rit would seem
to us unappetizing. But we could stand
nearly ripe banana. I eat brown,
PUPPY fellows myself, and these, assure
you. always agree with the most delicate
stomachs."
