 "The Wreck of the Vega" a great Selig picture for Monday. Get this part of the story:
 Five years ago the world was shick- ed to hear of the sinking of one of the finest and fastest ore boats on the Great Lakes During one of the worst storms in the memory of sailors this graet boat, the Vega, became suddenly lost and, almost without warning, was driven ashore on the dangerous reefs near the Fox Islands in northern Lake Michigan. There she lay in shoal wa. ter like wounded thing, helpless, un- til the maddened sea drove her to the bottom of the lake.
 The Vega was a new boat, carrying valuable cargo of steel Naturally she became a tempting prize for sal wage wreckers.
 The picturel shows in vivid story form the salvage process. We see the captain and his men hoist their der ricks, unload their machinery and get their diving apparatus ready Then we follow them as they cut great sheets of metal from the steamers decks by the aid of compressed air. We see the divers go down into her hold and watch the dangerous work of "clam- ing her cargo of ore. After this in teresting work is completed We see the huge boat blown to a million atoms by powerful explosives.
 Besides this reel. there will be two others, Helping John," a new Edi- son feature, and "A Matter of Pride" a Cinese production.

Stocks of American cotton goods in China are said to be relatively small. Many here contend that the crop has been oyerestimated and the consump. ton underestimated. It turns out that the last crop was 1G501 ,000 bales. oi which 16.13S GOO bales came to market. Testers figures on the consumption were surprise and have given no slight eneouragement to the believers in better prices, showing as they did that 1t was 14,515,000 bales. the largest on record. The bearish argu- ment is that this crop is going to be far beyond the requirements of the trade, if allowances are made for a large surplu carried over from last season and the fact that many Euro pean spinners have good stocks of raw material and in some cases bought last season at least a portion of their requirements for some years ahead.
 Also the Egyptian and West Indian crops this year are expected to be large, so that Europe may not take nearly so much American cotton this season as fl did during the season just ended. The big receipts at Texas points are regarded by bears as a plain hint that Texas has raised big crop Late in the deek cooler weather in the Atlantic states, selling by Wal dorf interests and good deal of sell ing also by large spot people gave prices something of a setback It is more Of a one-sided affair, however, than it was recently.

AT THE PRINCESS.

On Monday the Princess will show the greatest motion picture ever seen Ill Hot Springs or any other city, a two-reel hand colored feature which , critics the country over have conced. ed to be the best and most artistic picture ever produced. It is the Gau- mont company's greatest production. The Lions Revenge" beautifully pho tographed and exquisitely hand color ed throughout. it has proven the mo ton picture sensation of the age.
 Here is q brief synopsis of the won- derful story which brings into play the entire den of lions kept by the Goumont company.
 A man and wife, who both love na- ture and wild animals maintain a pri Vate zoo. Among the animals are a splendid lion, Sparticus, and three magnificent lionesses. An inhuman keeper is discharged for cruelty to the caged beasts and he vows revenge. lie returns to the home at a time when he knows master and mistress are absent, but nurses and children are asleep. He releases the four 'icho anu icdfcS lfle inmates or the house to their mercy. Frightened ser wants carry the news to the mother who hastens home to protect her lit. tie ones. She finds them unharmed and succeeds in driving the three ilonesses to their cage, but she can not find Sparticus. After a diligent search she comes across the gigantic beast, crunching and tearing the body of a human being. She succeeds aft CT great effort In driving him away and back to his cage, and on return ing finds that the lion has avenged himself for former i'll treatment by killing his former keeper.
 This is one of the most artistic and also one of the most sensational pie. lures ever produced The four mag nificent lions take prominent part in It's production, and being superbly hand-colored in natural cclors and tinfs the effect Is nothing short of re. markable.
 The Lions Revenge" is here but one day, afternoon and evening" Mon day Don't miss it. You will miss the greatest picture you ever had an op-. portunity to witness.
 One other splendid picture will con- plete this, the greatest program the Princess has ever offered it's patrons.

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW.

New York Sept. 7.-Cotton prices have been irregular, but Iatterly have shown considerable firmness owing to not dry weather in the Atlantic and eastern gulf sections, as we'll as In Texas. These reports have been ac. companied by many complaints of rust ana shedding, especially in Georgia, though also to some extent in South Carolina. Deterioration has also been reported in Texas At the same time the crop as whole is said to be two to three weeks. and even in some cases four weeks late. In such cir. cumstances the kind of weather that Is experienced in September is con s1dered favorable. 1t is conterded that the weather this month must be practically perfect, or else the crop is likely to be seriously injured. The next things on the carpet will be frost data. It will be noticed on Thursday that heavy frost occurred in the far west and northwest, and some veteran traders were apprehensive lest frost or at any rate very low,tempera- lures, might push down 2 into the southwestern cotton fields. Recently Texas has had temperatures of HOO to 103 degrees, though on Thursday the weather in that state had begun to cool down noticeably. The weekly weather report stated that recent temperatures in the belt generally had been anywhere from to de. grees above normal, while the rainfall had been noticeably below normal.
 At the same time, Manchester has reported a better demand for both clothes and yarns. The state of cot ton goods business on this side of the Atlantic is also generally favorable.

MARKET NEWS
NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, Sept. 7.-The dullness and irregularity in today's stock mar ket was in keeping with the preceding ness being a natural outcome of the diminished attendance of members of the exchange and the absence of de- mand from outside source. In effect, the two-hour session represented lit tie more than the usual week end set clement of contracts entered into by the professional element in which a faction of formidable proportions seems to have arrayed itself on the bear, or selling side.

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York. Sept. 7.--After making new high ground for the movement this morning. the cotton market eased off from the best under realizing but closed steady with last prices from g to IA points above the final figures of yesterday.
 The opening was steady at a decline of 10 points in keeping with lower Liverpool cables. while scattered sell ing may also have been inspired to some extent by reports of rain in parts of the eastern belt. The offerings were by no means heavy or aggressive however, and shortly after the call the market became firmer on covering by recent sellets and fresh buying for long account.
 There were numerous reports of rapid crop deterioration in South Texas, while there were also advfces or Q more active spot demand in thas section of the belt and these bullish features seemed to be creating more general demand around the local ring At any rate. prices sold up sharply with December contracts advancing .o ll.f5c, or IS points above the closing figures of yesterday and practically $4.5O per bale above the recent low reco. d.
 The continued presence of a low barometer in the east gulf probably accounted for part of the demand as it led to some comment regarding .he possibility of storm developments over sunday, but realizing became more active in the late trading and closing prices were 6 or ponts off from the best in consequence.

Bandages long and stained We're re-

"Oh, this war! This awful. awful
war!" he sobbed.
Down the deep lined burrows of the
homely, kindly face hot tears burned
their way. Slowly, tenderly. the
President leaned over the pillow.
Now the tears of which he was not
ashamed cut heavy burrows in 1t and
splotched the white sheets on which
they fell. While nurses and surgeons
and men watched there in the little
hospital Abraham Lincoln took the
pallid face of Houghton between his
hands and kissed it. just below the
damp. tangled hair.

AROUND. THE
CAMP0 IN
KISS BROUGHT BACK A LIFE
Incident Showing Tenderness Of
Heart of Martyred President
Scene Worthy of Artist.

No story of Abraham Lincoln so
well illustrates the great tenderness
Of his heart as that which tells of the
kiss he gave a wounded soldier-hero.
In narrow cot in the military hos
pital at City Point Maj. Charles II.
Houghton was dying. He had been in
command of Fort Haskell, a strategic
point in the rear OF Grants lines.
against which all the fury of Lees
attack was being directed in an effort
to break the Union lines. Against
Maj. Houghton, mere boy of 20 years
old, were pitted the science and STRAIT
egic knowledge of Gen. John B. Cor
don, of Georgia.
Shortly after, at 8 o'clock one morn
ing, the door at the end Of the ward
was opened and DR.. Macdonald, chief
surgeon, called:
Attention! The President of the
United States"
Those on the cots who had the
strength sat erect; nurses propped
others against pillows. Hands went
to pallid foreheads in the military sa-
lutte and weakened hearts beat fast
the form of the man who stood for
all that thousands Of other men had
fought for, died for and would live
for.
There outside the door, the sunlight
streaming into the room over square,
gaunt shoulders, stood Abraham Lin.

word of cheer.

Macdonald.
With a large. uncouth hand the

head. Houghton did not know; he

it would clatter and hurt the sufferer,
Lincoln softly placed his "stovepipe"
hat of exaggerated fashion on the
floor. Gently as a woman he took
the wasted, coiorless hand in his own
sinewy one of iron strength. Just the
suspicion of pressure was there,
but Houghton opened his eyes. Slow
ly, DULY he realized who it was be-
side him.
A smile which had forgotten suffer
ing answered the great Presidents
smile of pain. In tones soft almost
musical, it seemed, the President
spoke to the boy on the cot, told him
how he had heard Of his great deeds,
how he was proud Of his fellow coun-
tryman, how he had saved an army.
A few feeble words Houghton spoke
in reply. At the poor, toneless voice
the President WINGED. The doctor
had told him that Houghton would
die. Then happened strange thing.
The President asked to see the wound
which was taking so noble life.
Surgeons and nurses tried to dis.
suade him. but Lincoln insisted. The
horrors of war were for him to bear

evidence that his work in the picture book line
