GOVERNMENT CROP
 REPORT TUESDAY

New Orleans, September 1.-The week in the cotton market on this side of the water will not begin until Tuesday morn ing. At Il o'clock. New Orleans time, the government will issue its report on the condition of the crop on August 20. The course of prices during fhe remainder ot the week will depend much on the rercentage of condition returned unless strong weather developments, one way CT another, come to light.
 As opinion stood on the ciose of last week the trade loks for falling OIL tn cndition of firm two to three points for the months, that Is, from the percentage given by the government on July 25, which was 76.5. Probably the consensus ,f opin- ion is "A The more conservative element in the market probably would place the figure at 73, and there are some bulls who lcok for nothing higher than II or F, just as there are many bears who think the condition will be 76. or even higPer.
 If the percentage of condition is put above that of last year, as t would be with loss of two or three points. it will be followed by a crop of large estimates of the local yield.
 A year ago the condition was l3.2 and two years ago 1t was 72.1. The argu- ment will be, if figures no lower than "A are issued, that the crop is actually bet Ter tndn IL was year dSo, Nitcil icSoiu VI breaking yield was coming to maturity. Such a happening has not been expected by those who have tried to apply logic to the situation and have taken into accoun. the many reports of damage to have come in firm various parts of the belt as well as the drouth in portions of Texas ana Oklahoma.
 One argument that will, without doubt, be advanced by the bulls Is that the crop {- tr, xpa tbig eoft the belt over, and that therefore the usual August deterioration has not yet set in but Will be experienced in Ser- tember and will be all the more severe for having been delayed.
 condition report above n will cause a decline, while a report under that figure will help the bulls

 When General Booth began his lifes work he found that many were so steeped in sin that they cared nothing for the church," said MT. Dunne. "fhey would not go to church so General Booth de- cided to take the church to them. He went into the streets to reach the people and did his preaching from q box, a wagon or any other thing that was avail able He practiced and taught others to practice that charity that was practiced by the lowly Gallean. He left his peo- pie heritage greater than that of a Rocke- feller or a Carnegie, a heritage of duty done and charity displayed"

PATHETIC SCENE AT SOUTHLAND
 WHEN YOUTHS ARE SENTENCED

while the victim of their knife was a first cousin. The mother of. the dead man and the mother of the two defend- ants were sisters and enough alike to have been twins. One sat at the table of the prosecution, while the other sat hy her two sons that were being tried for their lives.
 When the jury brought in -xerdict of manslaughter In the first degree against Hubert Morgan, who was tried first, his old mother fell shriel<ing to the floor and was only carried from the courthouse with much difficulty. Her son was sentenced to the penitentiary for 10 years. The other boy. lad of 1T years and small for his age. plead guilty to manslaughter in the first de- gree and was sentenced to the reform SC hool for a term of three years. It was pitiable to hear the agonizng cries of distress from his mother when he was sentenced. Over and over again, she moaned they are all l have and they are now gone" There was not a dry eye in the courtroom.

The new bill at the Majestic theatre opening today matinee promises to be one of exceptional interest, especial ly for the children. and hundreds of little ones are expected to attend.

 Stonington, Oct. 1.-The last of the mimic warfare took place Friday be- tween the Road church, Stonington, and Groton. The companies broke camp at the Browning farm about ' a. m. The Reds took up a position east of Old Mystic on Copps hill, near the Middleton farm. where a small force were outflanked by the Whites and retreated across the Mystic, los ing company, which was captured by the Whites.
 Both forces stopped beyond Mystic river for luncheon. After luncheon the fighting again commenced, and the Reds retreated to the ridge 1-2 miles east of Center Groton, took up posi- tions in the woods from which they could not be driven within the time at the disposal of the Whites. There was a sharp engagement 1 1-2 miles east of Center Groton, the Reds rear guard falling back after spirited ac- tion. There were a few skirmishes between the scouts west of this posi- tion.
 The chief umpire sounded a recall at o'clock. just as the Whites were starting to march around the position of the Reds. The commanding officers of the two forces assembled their commands and all marched to Groton, where the steamers Gen. J. M. Bran nan, Gen. Nathaniel Greene and Gen. R. T. Frank were waiting to trans port them to Fort Wright, Fishers is- land, and Fort Terry, Plum island.
 Col. R. P. Davis was chief umpire Maj. c. H. McNeal and Maj. w. R. Beggison were assistant umpires. Maj G. A. Nugent was in command of the Whites and Maj. B. M. Keeler was in command of the Reds. A large crowd from Mystic, Stonington and Westerly assembled at Old Mystic bridge to watch the battle.

ing city election. AS usual, the dem- ocrats will have the minority repre- sentation on the board of selectmen.
 Perhaps the most hotly contested office in the election will be between Alfred H. Pollock, republican, and Thomas R. Murray, democrat, for the office of assessor. MT. Murray has been the defeated candidate for that office for the past two years against Wallace Johnson, republican, and poll ed a much greater vote than his party, coming very close to election. At the recent republican caucus, MT. John son was defeated in the contest for nomination to make room for MT. Pol lock, former selectman, and who used to be something of vote getter. He trained with the Armstrong forces and temporarily retired from active poll tics. He is a foreman in the Arm strong Silk mill and deservedly popu- lar. However, MT. Johnson has some friends who would perhaps prefer Murray to Pollock ,and there are oth- CTS who may extend their political dislike of former Mayor Armstrong to his faithful employe. By the way, it is a pity that MT. Armstrong does not come from his retirement and re- enter the political game in which he was for a time an easy winner. He is the gentleman who gave New Lon- don the business administration that he promised and who, with his many friends, are proud of the business ad- ministration.

NEW BOOKS

Retrospeetion. By Hubert Howe Ban
 croft. Cloth. 562 pages, with in-
 dex. The Bancroft Company, New
 York. Price g.
 This book is a review of the cen tury, with much attention given to the Panama canal and the development of California.
 In all of MT. Bancroft's writings fearlessness is prominent character istic, and nowhere is this quality moro manifest than in. Retrospection. He does not stop to consider the effect of a statement upon an individual, or up- on a coterie; the questions are sim ply, is the matter worthy of consid- eration, and is it true?
 In turning from business to enter the field of letters he thought little of fame or reward other than the satis- faction of doing well certain work which he thought well worth doing, and which no one else seemed dis posed to undertake.

Everybody here and hsrsabouts sup posed that Ex-Alderman Thomas w. Casey was republican of the stand pat stripe, a thorough Taftite, but 1t seems he has gone over to the Bull Moose herd hook and line and sink CT. In fact he is 8 leader of the party for he has accepted nomina- ton as candidate of the party for the senatorship of the Eighteenth district which comprises the towns of New London and Groton, and which has been so ably represented by Sen ator Bryan F. Mahan. During the ad ministration of Mayor Armstrong, MT. Casey was a member of the court of common council, alderman from the republican Fifth ward, and ably as- sisted the then mayor in his business administration of city affairs. He was chairman of the street committee and as such gave satisfactory public service. In return he probably ex- poets, and should receive the political support of those whom he supported at political loss to himself. MT. Casey is a successful business man and has long taken interest in public affairs. He has conducted the granite business in Groton as well as in New London and therefore has personal acquaint- ance with nearly all of his consti- tuency.
 His opponent on the regular repub- lican ticket will probably be Lucius B. Whiton, a leading manufacturer of New London, and who has had con- siderable legislative experience as a member of the lower house, in which he was an acknowledged leader. MT. Whiton is the logical party candi- date and will probably receive the nomination without opposition, and with chances favorable to election. For the democratic nomination, AL derman Alton T. Miner, chairman of the finance and other committees and one of the most valuable members of the court of common council, is be- ing groomed for the nomination. He, too. is a successful business man and decidedly upright citizen and good democrat.
 Fortunately, in any of this trio of gentlemen the district has assurance of competent and conscientious rep resentation. From this distance 1t looks as if Senator Mahan would be succeeded by republican, as the dis trict is strongly republican under or- dinary conditions, and under the ap- portionment of several years ago was never represented by any democratic candidate, except Senator Mahan.

Willie's mother steadily grew paler and more nervous, and even when Willie began to recover she did not regain her courage The horrible feeling that something dreadful was going to happen to him clutched her firmly and would not be shaken off.
 At last Willie was able to get out into the yard and walk about a bit, Then the netghbors paused to pat him on the head and feed him chocolate drops and tell him how they had sat up nights worrying about him.
