AUGUST COTTON
JUMPS UPWARD
MOST SENSATIONAL ADVANCE
RECORDED SINCE CLOSE OF
THE CIVIL WAR.
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS MADE AND LOST
William p. Brown, Who Led Agsres-
sive Movement for Bulls, Is Said
to Have Cleaned UP Between
100000 and S3,ooo,ooo.

New York City.-The most SEN
sational advance in cotton that has
been recorded since the close of the
Civil war occurred August 20 on the
local exchange Millions of dollars
were made and lost in as many Sec
onds. The gambling in cotton, II 1t
may so be called, was devoted to what
is known as August deliveries. Will
liam P. Brown, who led the aggressive
movement on the part of the bulls, is
said to have cleaned up somewhere
between 100000 and $S,OOO,0OO on
the days transactions.
More August cotton had been con-
tracted for than could by any possi-
BILE chance be delivered. When the
market opened in the morning both
the bears and the bulls admitted the
accuracy of this statement and forth
with came a battle royal. 1t is esti-
mated that on every 100 bales of
August cotton purchased at, the price
prevailing on August q there was a
net profit of S2,0OOOOO. The bears,
driven to their wits ends to make
good their contracts, were forced to
bid what few weeks ago would have
been regarded as fabulous prices for
the southern staple.
The bulls, represented by William
P. Brown, Frank B. Hayne, Eugene G..
Scales and one or two others who
maintain minor position in the bull
clique, were confident of their posi-
ton. Coming down to the last analy-
sis Messrs. Hayne, Brown, Scales ct
al, had a score to settle with the
bears and they paid part of it off.
They are going to pay the balance in
September and October and the Amer
ican consumer of print cloths is going
to be the sufferer. They have got the
cotton and they can demand the price.

Good Record Made by Women.

Through the activity of women, in
the anti-tuberculosis campaign, sana'
toria and hospitals for the treatment
of tuberculosis have been erected;
travelling libraries have been circu-
lated, posters, circulars and other
kinds of literature have been distrib-
uted to the number of millions of
pieces, thousands of lectures have
been given, large sums of money have
been secured, hundreds of needy cases
have been helped; tuberculosis work
has been started in many communi-
ties where no movement had existed:
and millions of women have learned
the dangers and methods of preven-
tion of tuberculosis. The work of the
women extends from the drawing room
of the rich to the homes of the poor.
and embraces all classes, including the
factory girl and millionaire. During
the coming year a special campaign Of
lectures to women will be carried on
in all parts of the United States.

ENGINEER PROVES HERO
STICKS TO HIS POST AND SAVES
MANY LIVES.
Upper Part of Railroad Mans Body
Parboiled and Leg Broken In
Several Places.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Through the hero.
ism of Engineer Israel Brandt of
train No. 8 of the Pittsburg, Fort
Wayne C Chicago railroad the lives of
many sleeping passengers were saved.
Brandt is at the Allegheny General
hospital, the upper part Of his body
parboiled and his leg broken in sew
eral places. 1t is thought he will die.
The train had reached the North Side
depot when Brandt, trying to stop his
locomotive, broke small cap on the
engine, allowing the steam to escape
into the cab. Fireman Thomas Van
Arsdale jumped through window and
sustained broken leg, but the engi-
neer remained at his post until the
trouble was repaired. He later said
he was certain that the train could
not be stopped unless the break was
fixed and that the speed would be-
come greater and greater and perhaps
throw the whole train into the river
at sharp turn below.
Blinded by the hot steam the engi-
neer finally succeeded in getting the
flow of steam checked and he then
tried to save himself by tumbling
from the window to the tracks below.
His left leg was broken in several
places and he broke several ribs.

JAPAN TAKES OVER KOREA
Grabs Ancient Empire as a Gift That
"Needed Reforms" May be
Brought About.

Washington, D. C.-The divine right
of kings was never more pictur-
esquely and dramatically eXemplified
than in the news just received at the
state department His divine right
majesty, the emperor of Korea, makes
a present of a whole empire and
many millions of people to the en-
peror of Japan. The interest of the
United States consists in seeing that
Uncle Sans trade will not be affected
by the deal. Japan's justification for
the deal, as given out by the state de-
partment, is substantially that Korea
could not govern itself and protect
foreigners, that reforms were abso-
lutely essential in Korea and that
therefore Japan shall undertake the
entire government and the administra-
tion of Korea"

Blames Congressman for Forest Fires
in Northwest-Loss of Life and

Washington, d. C.-Gifford Pinchot
of the National Conservation as
sociation and former head of the gov
ernment forest service, in a statement
issued here, holds that the loss of
property and life in the recent and
present forest fires was unnecessary.
The disastrous results, he says, are
traceable to the unpreparedness to
deal with the fire situation. He scores
members of congress who have op-
posed appropriations for the proper
equipment of forest rangers, and in
that connection names Senator Hey
burn of Idaho, whose :iome town, Wal
lace, Ida., suffered serious loss; SEN
ator Carter of Montana and Represen-

MOVEMENT OF WHEAT HEAVY
House Trade Continues to Expand at
Leading Markets-.Food Crop
Advices More Favorable.

New York City.-Bradstreets says:
House trade continues to expand
at leading markets, food crop ad-
vices are more favorable, iron and
steel trade reports display better
undertone and the movement of wheat
is heavy. However, the general situa-
ton is rather irregular, in that current
trade reports the country over are not
uniformly favorable. Thus those from
the west and southwest tell of activ-
ity in fall buying; returns from the
south indicate only slight improve
ment, while those from the northwest
are characterized as satisfactory and
eastern advices suggest that conserva-
tism is still prevalent.

The raisin growers of Fresno coun-
ty, California, are trying TO promote
the consumption of raisins by estab-
fishing "raisin day." on which all
patriots who believe in patronizing
home enterprise and consuming home
productions are expected to indulge in
raisin cakes and puddings, raisin
bread, etc. The boys and girls will
fall in line for this, and as they are
the best consumers of things sweet, it
would seem to be good policy to
awaken the enthusiasm of young eat
ers. Parents are now busy striving
to get enough Of things more staple
than raisins, which would be adopted
generally If they could be made to
take the place Of meat, eggs and other
products. Moreover, 1t is suspected
that if all were to do as the raisin
growers desire there would be boom
in the price as a result Of the boom in
the demand.

THE DANGEROUS HOUSE FLY.

The city department OF public health
gives timely and needed warning to
those leaving the city for their vaca-
tions to avoid places where there are
many flies. Those who follow this ad-
vice will avoid places which are un-
cleanly. which allow food and garbage
to be 80 exposed as to attract and feed
The flies, says the philadelphia Press.
They will avoid places where stables
and dwellings are in near vicinity, as
the exposed manure Is the choice
breeding place of thousands and even
millions of flies. In other words, to
avoid disease-conveying flies avoid
places where they permit flies to
breed and feed. Formerly the condi-
tions which multiply flies and the
1lies themselves were considered OBJ
jectionable but endurable. Now the
patient toleration of flies Is known to
be needless trifling with the health
and life of human beings. Disease
germs are for the most part innocuous
to man, until through some convenient
medium they are conveyed to his sys.
tenn. This purveyor of disease is the
fly. His guilt has been proved to a
demonstration. His capacity for car
rying on his feet from foul and putres-
cent sources the bacteria of disease
has been recorded by gelatin plates on
which he has been made to alight and
have proven his guilt.
