COFFEE HEART

A great many people go on suffering
from annoying ailments for a long
time before they can get their own
consent to give up the indulgence
from which their trouble arises.

his experience. as follows:

ago that owed the palpitation of the
heart from which I suffered almost

coffee drinker for 80 years) but I

Underwood stared moodily at the
glowing logs in the open chimney
place. His face was pale and de-
termined. After coming in from the
restaurant he had changed his tux
edo for the more comfortable house
coat. Nothing called him away that
particular Sunday evening, and no
one was likely to disturb him. Ferris,
his man servant. had taken his usual
Sunday off and wOuid not return until
midnight. The apartment was still as
the grave. 1t was so high above the
street that not a sound reached up
from the noisy Broadway below. I'm

could think, and he was thinking hard.
On the fat desk at his elbow stood a
dainty demi-tasse of black coffee-un-
tasted. There were glasses and de-
canters of whisky and cordial, but
the stimulants did not tempt him.

STEEL MAGNATES MASTERS OF WORLD Delegates to International Conference Boast of
 Their Power

New York, July 9.-(Special)-A spe- cial cable to the World from Brussels says:
 "We are the masters Of the world now.'' said one delegate to the lnterna- tional steel conference here in chatting vesterdav with other delegates. Hence forth governments must take back seat. They cannot make war nor peace as long as we are united and control iron and steel. And in dealing with the association they can only buy at one price"
 An American delegate in the company added:
 "Every day improves our position. We rule everything If I owned mines ol iron ore and I would seal them up fol many years. certainly they would be worth billions in a few years if our as- sociation stood"
 Members of the new organization smile when asked if the combination is no' really criminal trust. They admit that Judge Gary's arguments were so allur- ing that the continental delegates unani- mously accepted the United States Stee corporations proposition for an interna- tional organization. The advantages which were offered are closely guarded as secret. but general satisfaction IS frankly accorded.

Stanley Robison, which con sists of the local National League Base ball club was resumed in probate court today. F. N. sAbercrombie, who was named administrator by Robison, and who resigned, is now seeking to be admins trator. E.. A. Steininger, who is the ad- minlstrator and Public Administrator Troll, who also seeks to control the es- tate, were represented by attorneys.

Britton, beneficiary of the estate, with duplicity in her treatment of his client He said she threw ner arms around Abercrombie and implored him as the pro- tector of the family to administer the estate. She detained him in Cleveland long enough, the attorney told the court, to enable her to send another to St. Louis to administer the estate. .
 Abercrombe testified that he was a resident of St. Louis and competent to administer the estate, which is valued at $4OO,OOO The afternoon session of court was taken up with the examination of Abercrombie.

REAL SEA SERPENT
 |NLAKE MICHIGAN
Col. Green Saw Awful Thing While Seeking Relief
 From Heat

Chiacgo, July 9,-(Special) )-Lake Michi- gan is the home of a new kind of sea serpent
 If you don't believe it ask Col Axel Green, well known fisherman.
 The colonel, although not a total ab- stainer, is not addicted to the use of alco- ho to any great extent The evening of July Colonel Green was one of the thousands to go on the lake in a boat to seek relief from the hot wave. He awoke at daylight. Within a mile of him he discerned large object which, when his eyesight became more accus- toned to the light, he made out to be a large moving fish of the sea serpent va riety.
 Colonel Green looked long at the mov- ing object, then pinched himself to see if he was asleep. He then awoke a num- Der of other sleepers and directed their attention to the serpent. They all vouch for the truthfulness of the colonels story.
 They can't fool me I tell you Lake Michigan has sea serpent and it is at least 100 feet long, he said.
 I've been sailor for years, been been shanghaied, worked on whalers and seen many sea serpents in my time. This one, however. was out of the ordinary. It had a bumped back and the body was as large and round as a barrel"

SENATOR NEWLANDS NOW A POSSIBILITY Nevada Statesman Mention ed as Democratic Can
 didate in 1912

Washington, July 9.-(Special.)-For President, Francis Griffith Newlands of Nevada. That's the latest news from the democratic political field. It is claimed he is likely to be the dark horse if liar mon and Clark and Wilson tie up the democratic convention.
 Born in Natchez. Miss. in 1S4S he was barely too young to see service ip the Civil war. Reared in Mississippi, he was educated at Yale, entering the class of 1867. though he did not finish the course there. He took his law course in what is now George Washington uni versity, Washington, and immediately thereafter went to San Francisco to prac- tice. In 1888 he moved to Nevada and thence in a few years came to Con- gress, serving ten years in the House and being now in his second term in the Senate.
 To the claim of cosmopolita nism, which rests on his southern nativity, his New England education, his Pacific coast ca- reer. his long service for Nevada and the nation in Congress, he adds an in- innate participation in large business af- fairs both east and west.
 It is further said he is more likely than almost any other man to get the SUD- port of w. J. Bryan in case of dead lock.
 Senator Newlands will not discuss his prospective candidacy.

FINE PROSPECTS
 FOR COTTON CROP ' Crop Will Be Made With One More Good Gen.
 eral Rain

Montgomery. July s.-Reports to the Ad- vertiser from practically every county In
 Alabama indicate that prospects for
 great cotton crop this season were never so fattering. With one more good gen.
 eral rain the crop for the most part will be considered made, and unless serious blight should come-a thing altogether uh- expected-more cotton will be made this
 fall than ever before in the history of the state.
 There is uniformity In the reports with regard to the cultivation, freedom from in | sects and other pests, fine weather sea- l sons and cleanness of the fields from grass and weeds. The farmers are show 1 ing disposition to lay-by the crop, but are giving it continuous shallow cultiva- tion, in line with United States govern
 ment instruction, to keep the moisture to the surface. It Is doubtful if ever a crop was so closely and scientifically cultivated as this one has been.
 | As a rule rain is not badly needed. There are spots, like portions of Russell county
 and of the counties on the western border, tndl nave ndu no rdiii TUT WeehS, pue 'hio is the exception.
 The plant is healthy and strong and Is fruiting rapidly. Everywhere there seems to be a super-abundance of bolls and in few places has there been any shedding.
 Corn also bids fair to break the best
 previous record. The early crop was in-
 jured seriously by the drouth, but the later pantings have had good seasons of
 rain and have been cultivated necessarily.
 This crop is being rapidly laid-by, and by the time of another crop report there will be little of it that needs further eul- | tivation.

COTTON MARKETA
 WEATHER AFFAIR Bull Campaign of Month
 Gone By BIG SHORT INTEREST May Be Run in If Sudden Bullish Development Obtains-A Close. Watch Is Kept for Long
 Liquidation
BIG SHORT INTEREST

New Orleans, July 9.-This week the cot ton market professes to be little less than a weather affair. The bull campaign of the month seems to have gone by the board, and unless the trade starts to hedging it's requirements for the coming season by buying the fall months, nothing but weather developments will sway the market.
 On the close of last week the outlook was for showers over Sunday for the larger part of the cotton region. Should good rains fall in Texas and Okla homa over Sunday particularly in west Texas and central Oklahoma the market will undoubtedly open lower for the new week. Without these rains the short side will probably find it difficult to keep the decline going.
 Too much rain in the central portions of the belt, Louisiana, Mississippi and parts of Arkansas will have the tendency to increase boil weevil damage, and the market has given promises of being very susceptible to accounts of damage from this source It is not improbable that re ports of widespread damage by the weevil would wholly offset the influence Of plenty of moisture in the west
 = One thing that the bears will watch very sharply this week will be the picking of cotton in the earliest counties of Texas. It is said that picking is becoming gen eral and that gins are beginning to run on something approaching full time at a number of points. If this is borne out by receipts of new bales the market may be affected sentmentally in an unfavor- able way. August especially, will be quick to decline under the promise of a free early movement of new cotton.
 Many circulars from commission houses on the week-ehd called attention to the fact that the market holds an extensive scaping short interest that may easily be run in on any sudden and unexpected bullish development. There is no doubt that such an interest exists and that the bulls will endeavor to make use of it. A, the same time conservative traders point out that an immense speculative line of long cotton is hanging over the market and that prices are going against this line To many operators it is the weakest feature of the present situation, brokers is to watch closely for signs of long liquidation on any further decline in the price of the new crop.

ENGLISH VISITORS FIGHT EXTRAD|T|0N Charged With Obstructing Course of Justice in
 Pennsylvania

New York, July s.-(Special) )-rAlfred George Curphey and Capt. Thomas w. Kirkbride, the Englishmen who volun- tarily came 1000 to testify in Pittsburg in the Mellon divorce case, and who were arrested at the Ritz-Caralton June 15 last on a Pennsylvania indictment charging them with having obstructed the courts of justice and who have since then been resisting extradition proceedings, lost one stage of their fight today when Cover nor Dix honored a Pennsylvania request to return the two to Pittsburg.
 But the Englishmen will not return yet awhile, for a writ of habeas cor pus to be issued out in the federal courts, has already been prepared by counsel for the defendants, and when the men appear at District Attorney Whitman's office Monday morning the writ will bs served upon the Pennsylvania officers. . Another legal battle, fiercer than that which has taken place already. will fol- low in the circuit court and should the decision go against them the matter will be carried to the United States supreme court, according to a statement made today by their counsel.

The Cotton Cure

From the Washington Post.
 In the glitterng summer weather a pretty girl in white paced the promenade deck of liner.
 'I perceive" said a pale Chicagoan. that you have cotton in your ears. May I ask why?'s
 She blushed and frowned.
 'Yes, you mak ask she said, ''if you don't mind being impolite. But, impolte or not, I'll answer you. l have cotton in my years to ward off seasiekness.' The Chicagoan gulped. You don say." he cried. hopefully
 "Yes, do say. Many years ago ship conveyed cargo of deaf mutes from Boston to Liverpool, and not one of the dea, mutes got seasick. This caused the ships doctor to put on his thinking cap He stuffed the ears of a seasick voycger with cotton, and the Voyager, thus deaf ened, got right up from his sick bed and ate a seven-eourse dinner Since that time if has been realized that the stomach nerves and the nerves of hearing are in sympathy and by dulling the hearing of the seasck their illness in many eases has been made to disappear"
 The vessel rolled upon glorious blue pillow, and the Chicagoan gulped again.

SEEK ID EXPURGATE MARRIAGE SERVICE COnvOcatiOn of Church of England at Work OBJECTIONS ARE MADE ArchdeacOn of Leicester Declares That Certain Expressions Used Are
 Offensive to Some
 Brides
 
OBJECTIONS ARE MADE

London, July Especial. )-Having undertaken to bridge the Ten Com mandments, the lower house of the con vocation of the Church of England Is trying it's hand at expurgating the mar riage service.
 The Archdeacon of Leicester declares that certain phrases and words in the exhortation of marriage service are of fensive- to brides. Other clerics said that when officiating at weddings they are often asked to cut out these par ticular words and phrases or to num- ble them so that they are scarcely audi ble. The exhortation was composed in the sixteenth century, a coarse epoch made, and the convocation comments all that ends in it to make 1t conso- nant with modern ideas.
 The members of the convocation, with few objections. then agreed to the following changes in the exhortation: It was agreed that the clause recit- ing that marriage 'ls not by any to be enterprised or taken in hand light ly," should be altered to read mar riage is not by any to Ae taken in hand unadvisedly, lightly, wantonly, but reverently discreetly, advisedly, sob erly, and in fear of God. duly con- sidering the chief causes for which matrimony is ordained"
 The members also agreed that the passage stating that marriage t'was ordained for the procreation of man kind" should run for the increase of mankind" It was then proposed to omit the passage in the 'exhortation which gives the second reason for which marriage is ordained, namely, flor remedy against sim This all teration was hotly resisted by several members. Canon Drummond said that those who objected to these words were precisely the persons by whom they were most needed Nevertheless this amendment was also agreed upon.

Agrees With Plato

From the New York Observer
 "The author of genius" said William Dean Howells, socialist and author, at a dinner in New York, expresses the thoughts of his time. He speaks out those things that his generation has all along been thinking-but thinking si- lently, and perhaps, little mistily..
 An author of stranscendentai genius speaks the thought of all time. For eX- ample, one summer at Sunapee l loaned a volume of Plato to a lean, shrewd farm CT. When the volume was returned said.
 f." Well how did you like Plato?'
 'Fust rate the farmer answered. I see he's got some of my ideas.
