Knocked Out in One Course.
A quaint story about q guest who
had been invited to sup with Mr.. C.
Il. Mccormick. the inventor Of the
reaper, is told In the book Cyprus
Hall Mccormick
A very dignified and self centered
military onicer was taking supper with
the Mccormick family. The first
course, as usual. was cornmeal mush
and milk. 1t was served in Scotch
fashion. with the hot mush In one
bowl and the cold milk in another
The practice was SO to coordinate the
eating OF them that both were finished
at the same time.
The Officer planned his spoonfuls
badly and was soon out of milk.
Have some more milk to finish your
mush. colonel" said Mccormick. Sew
eral minutes later the coloners mush
bowl was empty, at which Mccormick
said. "Have some more nush to finish
your milk" And SO 1t went, with milk
for the mush and mush for the milk.
until the unfortunate colonel was hope
lessly incapacitated for the four or
Eve courses that came afterward.

And weep that trust and that decetving

Better be cheated to the last
Than lose the blessed hope OF truth.

Of Southern spot markets and the probable figures
of the ginners report, to be issued tomorrow The
figures will compare with 900 bales reported
ginned up to November l and $3.50 900 bales ginned
tn November Is last year. Most opinions concur in
the belief that in excess Of II 800 go bales will be
the total arrived at by the Census Bureau in the
report. These figures will cause no surprise, and
have 10 a certain extent been discounted in the
price movement
Reports from the South indicate that the crop is

fields still white, and in some excl ptional
have not vet been touched by cotton pickers.
Calculations that more than 1900 900 bales will
have been ginned by December l are generally
accepted. although these figures depend on the
total announced tomorrow. One thing Is sure
and that is that crop estimates being increased
by expert observers travelling through the South.
and that Is 800 900 bales would not be a conserya-
tive estimate Of such opinion. The market opened
steady owing to Liverpool cables From a specula-

ALLEYS AS MENACE
TO CITY'S HEALTH
Monday Evening Club Takes
Up Serious Problem.

That conditions exist in some OF the
alleys of this city which almost defy de-
scription was the statement made by DIR.
Thomas Jesse Jones. who spoke on the
question of Housing our alley neigh
bor." at a meeting of the Monday Even
ing Club at the Y. NJ. c. A. Building last
night. He said that almost within a
stones throw Of the White House and
Capitol there are alleys which reek with
filth and disease.
The speaker said there are 25s blocks
in this city which have inhabited alleys;
that these alleys contain Bias dwelling
houses and approximately 1900 inhabi-
tants. Lantern slides were shown de-
picting the housing question in Goat al
ley, Willow Tree alley, Blagden alley,
Pierce court, and other places.
The healthy condition of alley inhabi-
tants, as compared with those residing
in streets, was shown to be much worse,
the death rate of alley children being
5000. while that OF children living in
houses in streets is only 1856.
DR.. Gustavus A. Weber spoke on the
theme of "A volunteer inspection Of
houses1 and proposed to establish a
clearing house for all kinds of complaints
arising from lHSdnltdFy COHQlIlOnS OF
streets, alleys, and houses. He distributed
printed cards and requested those present
to cooperate either with Miss Emma
Duke. 1922 n street; the Associated Char
tiles, or the housing committee to bring
about an amelioration of conditions.

their material for this winter at much
lower rates than usual, and the recent
decision of the new Court of Commerce
has encouraged the managers to expect
much better treatment at the hands of
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Gould stocks were heavy, Wabash in
particular continuing it's decline. The
decline in Wabash is easily accounted
for by its own reports of earning, and
its known shortable of equipment. The
company admits that II has no money
with which to buy equipments. While
the road has no direct interest in the loss
of contract of the Texas and Pacific with
the Frisco, Missouri Pacific will lose
more than half a million yearly by the
cancellation of the contract and Wabash
is sentimentally hurt. The street seems
to believe that Frisco affairs proves
that Missouri Pacific management is not
as good as had been hoped.
Disappointed by Steel Officials.
Board traders are disappointed at the
move of the United States Steel Corpora
tion in attempting to stop the Stanley
investigating committees work, which
was to have been resumed to-day. R. "
Lindabury, for the corporation, opposes
the hearing on the grounds that the
committee has no authority to investi-
gate any corporation against which the
government has brought suit. Should
this contention prevail, the bull cam
paiGners will have gained an important
point, because the governments suit
against the steel trust will be months
in coming to trial.
The Stanley resolution provides for in
vestigation of violations of the antitrust
act. which violations have not been
prosecuted, dealt with. or lawfully dis
posed of by the executive officers OF the
government" The language of the rcsO-
lutions seems TO make the governments
suit against the steel trust the end OF the
Stanley committee

last hour, with some material losses.
particularly in steel AS the day pro-
crossed the story of Mr. MOrgan's fall
became more and more startling. Just
before the market closed, 1t began to be
reported that he did not trip at all but
fell in a stroke of some kind. At his
office il was stated that he merely tripped
and had been attending to business all
Gay at his library. The street refused to
be treasured, and the decline in the
stock market was due to fear that all
was not we'll with the great financier.
While there is no reason for believing
that Mr.. Morgan's partners would deceive
the public regarding his health, the Incl

been suffering mortal agony, and told
