With strange commingling of sen.
timents, l met her. She is no ordinary
woman, but one who awes, in the
knowledge of the sunshine not only in
her life, but the warm, grateful rays
of enlightenment and happiness with
which she has colored other lives. She
is a great artist, but inspires subtle
admiration which no artist has yet in
spired. l felt from the moment she
entered the room and clasped my
hand with the firm clasp of love
true, deep, understanding love, which
we have been told is our only redemp-

about her. l knew my place was at
her shrine, a humble listener, who
was eager to be taught. l think she
inspires this attitude in everyone.
Clothes? Well, one does not de-
scend to clothes in the presence of the
little preacher, but perhaps it were
better to draw word-picture of wo
man, who stands out today as one OF
our great souls, one who has reused
with her voice and pen three CONT
nents. She has visited every country
civilized and uncivilized, devoting hel
whole life and efforts to the better
ment of humanity.
She is very short, with black hail
streaked with grey, and did not note
exactly how it was dressed. 1t fel

lines, and was coiled carelessly low OF
her neck. She wore no jewelry, save
a signet ring on her left hand, which
no doubt associates with it some treas
ured memory. Her gown is black ant
clerical in outline; her face is that o
strong, good woman, one who fear
nothing, one whose soul is too fillet
with exalted things to waste mucl
time on the minor trivialities of thi
world, one who, above all else, love
people and believes in them.

LATE PRICES BETTER

New York, February 1.--The cotton market continued quiot today. but showed generally steady tone and closed steady at a net advance of to F points
 The opening was steady but irregular, first prices being xix points lower to six points higher, which was about in line with the showing of Liverpool. Ac- tive months sold about to points net higher during the first few minutes on foreign buying and scattered covering, but the absence of aggressive support and an unsettled stock market induced local professionals to take the short side for turn and old crop positions soon sold off to a net loss of about to : points.
 There was. however, a considerable de- mand fer October contracts, supposedly for the account of shorts rendered ur- easy by the character Of the news from the southwest regarding the dry state of the snb-soi, while trade interests were buyers of March, presumably to secure control of the local stock. This combined demand started a covering movement during the middle of the day and prices in the afternoon worked up to net gain of to 15 points.
 Business was not active on the advance, but early sellers found very little cot ton for sale. Realizing caused a slight reaction at the close, but there was no aggressive pressure against the mar<e, as buyers had the encouragement of bull ish southern spot news. increased ex- ports and light port receipts, the figures l indicating loss of about 5000 bales in | stocks at the ports for the day.
 SOufhern SDOt markets officially reDOit- | ed early were generally unchanged.

Hubbard Bros. & Go. Letter.e

New York February 1.--(Special) l. Quiet but continued buying Of the near by deliveries has again been the feature of an otherwise dull market, where the natural instinct Is to look for lower prices. This demand which at no time was aggressive appeared to come from the largest spot houses in the trade, who consider this the cheapest desirable cot ton that can he aecured. With the move mnt at the interior towns and ports on tn smalles scale in many years, the bear ish feeling of the local trade is B re- hection of depression, caused by the ex- tradorinary llauidatio of the bulls last month. We expect the European demand to increase ss we think the comparatively cheap cotton recently bought by them means that the spindles will not stop at present prices. Liverpool should advance points tomorrow
