RECORD COTTON DEAL
PATTEN WILL MAKE PROFIT OF
$1,5oo,ooo BY THE SALE.
One-HaIf for Bremen, the Other for
Havre-Spinncrs Whose Stocks De.
pleted Get the Cotton.

New York.-James A. Patten, the
cotton king. is preparing TO fill the
largest individual order of co. ton ever
received. 1t is for the shipment of 50,-
900 bales-25, 900 for Havre and $4,000
for Bremen-and Patten will make a
profit of more than $1,5O0,009 on the
deal.
The cotton, which was accumulated
by Patten in his last sensational cor
ner OF the market, is distributed along
the Brooklyn water front, and it has
been impossible to obtain a sufficient
number of ships to transport the en-
tire $4,000 bales at once. So far, &C.
commodations have been obtained for
only 10000 bales.
The deal involves $3,500,000, and the
cotton is to be delivered on the basis
of Is cents pound. The transaction
has so far had no effect on the mar
ket, which has been quite active late
ly, but experienced operators say that
Patten, if he liked, could make the
price almost anything he chose.
The present price of cotton is 1910
cents a pound. In the trade it is be-
,ieyed that Patten paid from 8 to II
Cents for his holdings.

THE HEART OF YOUTH.

We have been told that as long as
we keep our hearts young we need
have no fear of the depressing loneli-
ness of advancing years, and many
writers more or less experienced in
such matters have suggested many
ways in which we can accomplish that
desired end. No two natures, however.
are alike, and it follows that no set OF
hard and fast rules can be made to ap-
ply to each distinct personality. The
man or woman who passes through life
alive to the blessings which abound on
every side rarely ceases to become an
active contributor to the lives of others,
and as long as a person actually par
ticipates in any work, large or small,
the influence of his personality is
bound to be felt and his counsel re-
garded. 1t is only when one has tired
of the game, or enters only half-heart-
eddy into affairs outside Of his OVID
special interests that he ceases to ex-
ercise any influence, and his individu-
ality is no longer recognized. Enthusi-
asm seems in some way to be an at
tribute of the youthful character; at
any rate, 1t is far easier to become In
terested in what is going on in our i'm
mediate circle when the pulse beats
high and the blood courses warmly
than in later years when SO many of
us are concerned only with our own af-
the doings of others.

SACRIFICING GIRL TO COMET
Sheriff Saves Her Life-Fanatic Had
Knife at Her Throat.

Aline, Okla.-Jane Warfield, a IT,
year-old girl, was Wednesday rescued
from band of religious fanatics TWEEN.
ty-five miles southwest of this place.
She was about to be offered up as a
sacrifice to make blood atonement
that the sins of the world might be
forgiven. The sheriff of Dewey county
had been informed that the band of
religious enthusiasts known as the Sc
lect Followers had given out that their
leader, HenryHeinman, had received a
revelation from God that the world
was to end and the heavens would be
rolled up like scroll following the
contact of the tail of the comet; that
the only thing that would avert the
disaster was a blood sacrifice, that in
order to save the world a sacrifice had
been planned, and the lot had fallen
TO Jane Warield.
With a posse of six men he reached
the dell in the Glass mountains, just
as the sacrifice was being prepared,
and only in time to rescue the young
woman, who was to be offered to save
the world.

LAST TRIBUTE TO KING BUYERS AID MiLLERS
WANT MORE COTTON MILLS IN
IN THE SOUTH.
Encourages Increase in Cutting Up"
Industry.

Charlotte, N. C.-The report of the
committee on sales note contract, stat
ing that only through the cooperation
of buyers were the mill men able to
accomplish any improvement in trade
conditions, was accepted by the Amer
lean Cotton Manufacturers Associa
ton.
An effort is being made to concen-
trate in the South the cutting-up in
dustry of cotton goods, as indicated in
paper presented to the convention
by r. H. Beane of Atlanta.
The report of the sales note contract
committee sets forth briefly the salient
points of the contract as follows:
1.-THE most important of these is that
the contract sets forth the liability OF
the manufacturer in the storage OF
goods, and states when that liability
ceases
1T provides a way to prevent the
cancellation of contracts on slight pre-
texts. This section of the contract
will be of much benefit. For instance,
buyer cannot cancel his contract just
because small part of the order was
not up to grade.
THE contract sets forth what is ex-
pected of the manufacturer in the
making of his goods for sale, what
weight, number counts, etc, so that
the buyer will know exactly what he
is going to get"

LAWLER SAYS BRANDEIS LIAR
Exciting Day in Ballineer-Pinchot In
vestiuation.


Washington.-A day filled with in
teresting episodes reached an exciting
climax in the Ballinger-P inchot inves
tigation late Tuesday, when Assistant
Attorney General Oscar Lawler, au-
thor of the now famous Lawler men,
orandum, rose wrathfully from the
witness seat and accused Attorney
Brandeis of uttering a deliberate I'M
truth. Then, after he had been re-
buked by several members of the COM
mittee, Mr.. Lawler Withdrew his re-
mark and apologized to the committee.
Mr.. Lawler was called to the stand
by the defense" to explain the cir
cumstances under which he had pre-
pared for the president a memoran-
dunn containing his opinion on the
charges that had been filed by Special
Agent CLAWS against Secretary Bal
linger
Directly contradicting Secretary
Ballinger's testimony, Kerby said his
former superior knew about the prep
aration Of the memorandum, and that
he participated in a conference on the
subject. Furthermore, he said Lawler
had told Private Secretary Carr in his
presence that he had left copy of the
memorandum with Mr.. Ballinger.

In the good old days they used to
have signboards at the crossroads in
the country region to point the pilgrim
on his way. 1t was always CHEEKY
sign. 1t spoke welcome to the stran-
ger. 1t indicated disposition to be
helpful. But these signboards are
nearly all gone. Only now and then
you see one, and then it seems like the
relic of bygone friendship. 1t seems
to say to the stranger: I'VE once took
an interest in you, but we do SO no
longer; If you don't know the way,
what do we carer" That is the stu
alton today; forlorn one, indeed; a
cherries one. No little sign thrown
out, saying: I'VE are thinking of you,
we care for you. we want you to go
right" Now, this ought not to be.
There should be little signboards to
greet him, and to tell him the way he
ought to go. This thought is getting
some Roadway in Massachusetts,
where there is an effort to restore the
signboards, and to give to the stranger
the help of knowing where he is.

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS WIT
NESS THE FUNERAL CORTEGE.
Nine Kings in rocession-Roosevelt
Had to Ride Behind Princes of Pet
tiest European States.

London.-Sovereigns and represent
atives of the powers of all the world

great monarch, Edward VII, whose
body now rests in St. Georges chapel
at Windsor Castle, where the bones of
Edward w, the sixth and eighth Hen
rvs, Charles |, the third and fourth
Georges and William " are entombed.
London's millions filed the streets
and open places as they have never
been filled, either at funeral or fes-
tival. All the pageantry that marked
the burial of Victoria was as naught
when compared with the magnificence
of Fridays spectacle, which, though
it passed through a multitude of hush
ed people, reverently bent, was splen-
did in its accompaniment of gilded
coaches, brilliant uniforms and decor
atoms.
Far surprising the ceremony attend
ing the removal of the kings body
from Buckingham Palace to Westmins-
ster Hall, the procession included nine
sovereigns, the former president of
the United States, Theodore Roosevelt,
who alone was unarrayed in uniform;
the heirs to several thrones, the men,
bers Of the royal families, the OFFICERS
of the households, the officials of tHe
government, field marshals, generals
and admirals, whose names are synon-
ymous with Britains achievements in
war. deteachments of troops of all the
British arms and representatives of
foreign armies and navies in varie-
gated uniforms, making a solid pha-
lanx of glittering colors.
The representatives of the two
great republics, the United States and
France. were given position at the
rear of the royalties, and the prince
of the pettiest of European states.
Their carriages followed those carry
ing the royal ladies', and they were
last in the line of representatives of
foreign governments.

hotel in southern New Hampshire told
the following story: He said that
when he was boy he had occasion
to go into the garnet of his house one
morning and that the family cat fol-

windows was open, and when they en-
tered the garnet frightened mouse
jumped out of the window, and the
cat, jumping after it, caught it in mid
air and, whirling round, jumped back
again into the same window.

New York.-A voluntary wage in

BILE increase to workmen, who in the

to 10 per cent.
The order is retroactive and became
effective May 1. 1t is estimated that

to $10,000,000 to it's annual pay roll
expense.
The new scale affects employees en-

London-Simple ceremonies marked
the removal Tuesday of the body OF
King Edward VII from Buckingham
palace to Westminster hall, but more
impressive than the presence OF kings
and the gorgeous uniforms of state
offic 'als and officers of the army and
navy was the silent grief displayed by
the British people, who, massed be-
hind doubles lines of soldiers, watched
with strained eyes and bowed heads
the passing of the gun carriage that
bore the coffin of the monarch.
At o'clock in the afternoon the
doors of the hall were thrown open to
the public. Already $4,000 people
were in line waiting for admission,
composed mostly of the middle and
working classes, men, women and chill
dren, and the great majority of them
were dressed in black, carrying flow
ers. A steady stream began passing
through the hall at the rate of 5000
an hour, and at 10 O'Clock, when the
hall was closed, there was a line ex-
tending through the streets for nearly
two miles.
