BULL LEADER
HAS ALL GUESSING
MARKET IS MUCH EXCITED
Bids Market Price for 100000 Bales
and One-Eight Over Change
for All IN the City

New Orleans, May 17.-Frank b.
Hayne, the Gotten bull leader, startled
the local cotton world this morning by
bidding tie market price for 100000
bales each of May and July Gotten and
by bidding one-eighth over the cotton
exchange quotations for any or all Il e
spot cotton in the city.
Mr.. Hayne shouted out to the mem.
bers who had hurried to the future ring
that this last bid was opened all day.
Moreover, he announced his willing
ness to accept any grade from low or
dinary to fair.
The matket was thrown into much
excitement by Mr.. Haynes heavy bid
ding. Leaders on the bear side quickly
reached the ring but they showed no
eagerness to pick up the gauntlet
thrown down by the bull leader. One
house did give him 800 bales of May on
his bid for 10000 bales and Mr.. Hayne
accepted the cotton and yelled for
more. Since May is spot month and
over half gone at that, this way equi-
valent to spot transaction. The price
was 1855, or about % points over the
price of middling spots on the board.
Twenty-Five points means in money
$l.lO bale. Therefore Mr.. Hayne paid
that much more for spots than the cot
ton exchange quotations said spots
were worth.

PEOPLE ARE T|R|NG
OF POLITICAL STRIFE

Washington, ID. c., May 17.-"The
business interests of Tennessee are tir-
ing of political strife in the state" de-
clared Representative Sells to-day,
"and, for one, would like to see the
factions in the two parties get together.
The Republicans are, numerically, as
strong as the Democrates, and we
would have nothing to lose. Tennes-
see has had too much politics in the
past five years, and every business in
terest in the state is demanding that
the strife and warfare cease.'
While this is the personal view en-
tertained by Mr.. Sells, he has little
hope that the factions well get together.

the First District Congressman, 'but l
don't believe the two Democratic fac
tions in the legislature will ever get to-
gether. The Senator was indulging in

that he was going to the White House

DAUGHTER MARRIES
AS MOTHER DIES
Latter Had Insisted That the Wedding
Take Place Before She Passed
Away.

New York, Nov. 9.--The last wish OF
a mother, who desired that her death
might not delay the wedding Of her
daughter, was carried out an hour after
her death Wednesday night, when Miss
Cordelia Harrison OF Harrison, n. j., was
married to Walter p. Hayward OF North
Arlington, in room adjoining that in
which her mother, Mrs. William Harri-
son, had Just died.
Although Mrs. Harrison had been i'll
long, she believed she would recover
and was greatly interested in the plans
for her daughters wedding, which was
to have taken place in Christ Episcopal
church in Harrison next week.
On Tuesday her condition became seri-
Gus and Wednesday she was informed
that she had not long to live. She in
quired if she were likely to die before
her daughters wedding day, and she
was informed that her physicians could
hold out no promise for her She at once
declared that her daughters wedding
should take place Immediately. Wednes
day at noon she became unconscious.
At o'clock thai night, Mrs Harrison
recovered consciousness and at once in.
quired if the marriage had been per-
formed. She was told that it had not,
and, summoning her daughter, said she
wished the wedding TO 90 on at once.

married in a room next to that in which
Mrs. Harrison lay. with only the mem
bers OF their families present.

The work was accomplished without
incident from the time the hoists were
manned until the carved block of granite
weighing 10 tons was swung safely into
position on the ledge over the front
door.
1t was originally planned to start
work at ! o'clock, but as the men were
on the ground half hour earlier, the
contractor, after satisfying himself that
everything was secure, gave the orders
to man the hosting machinery, which
was done.
The hosting was done with shears
derrick as feet in height, so placed as
to allow of fitting in order to permit
the swinging of the block into position
when it had reached the proper alti-
tude.
There was immense power in the
blocks and tackle employed in the work,

given the Republicans in the last con-

than subdued, the old warriors in the

and in the hosting apparatus, so much
so that two men working on the cranks
were able to lift the mass of granite
with ease, although for greater rapidity
four men were employed after it had
been well started
The block from which the sculpture
was fashioned by Boston artists weighed
in its original form some 25 tons and
was taken from the quarry Of the Sven
son Granite company, in whose sheds
the work was done.
IN the center Of the sculpture is the
new seal of the Historical society, de-
signed by Daniel Chester French and
by him presented to the society. On
either side are winged figures, the right
of an old woman holding a skull and
studying an open book, representing am
cient history, and the left Of lusty
youth with the globe at his feet, repre-
senting the modern arts and sciences.
On the scroll Of oak leaves surmount-
ing the seal is an owl, typifying wis
dom.
Designed by Daniel Chester French,
the most eminent of American sculp-
tors, the sculpture has been executed
in exact accordance with his ideas, with
the result that the work is probably
the most notable of the present day,
and has been so pronounced by artists,

pose of studying it before it was placed
