Cotton Goods Review.
New York, November 24.-The cot

and active during the week: jobbers,
ccnverterss and the manufacturing
trades being in need OF further sup
plies. and making steady calls on

ing OF contracts has been increased in
consequence Of the scarcity OF spot
stocks, and the doubts concerning any
possible accum uIation OF goods at the
mills In the next two TO three months.

ability to obtain operatives. and the

THE SECRETARY'S CORNER

The folks that talk about bootleg
gers under no-license, make no men
ton of the marked decrease in drunk
enness and crime, which invariably
follows the adoption of prohibition.
That is a remarkable showing made
by Winchester, Va, where for the
third successive time, the city has
voted dry by a constantly increasing
majority This is record that will
be repeated by ninety per cent of all
our cities and towns as soon as they
get their bearings. Hitherto local op-
ton elections have been regarded as
an experiment by a minimum of vot-
ers, enough to turn the tide either
way Now the average town has
struck a steady gait that will establish
the permanency of the prohibition
policy.
The League that does not provide
an up-to-date organization through
which to reach the mass of voters at
first hand, is a back number. Public
meetings and speeches are a necessary

extracted from the system completely in few

HE JUMPS HEAD FIRST
And Swedes said That Was No Way
for HORNE to Do 1t.

Boston, Aug. 6.-The mystery of the
apparent failure of George HORNE, the
California wonder. to sweep away all
records in the high jump at Stockholm,
is cleared up by explanations made by
his teammates here. 1t is explained
that the Swedes would not permit
HORNE to leap in the manner by which
he attained heights which dwarfed all
previous records.
The Swedes contended that Horine's
head was the first part of his body over
the bar and insisted that the proper
style was feet first. Their ruling pre-
vented the wonderful jumper from
demonstrating his ability to clear
heights only dreamed of by his COM
petitors. In America there has never
been the slightest objection to his style.

TWO CALLED OUT
O'TOOIe's Ruling Against Slid
ing to First Hurts KawS.
King and Walsh Called Out
Tying Score Lost.

Whatever chance the Kaws had 30
beat Sioux City went glimmering when
Walsh and King, trying hard to reach
first ahead of the ball, slid into the
bag. Both were called out by Umpire
O'Toole, probably for the reason that
Ii many leagues the umpires call the
runner out sliding into first. Just why
this should be done is not apparent
but it has been done here through
out the last two sets of games. AS a
result of the decisions on King and
walsh the score was not tied and the
visitors won to 5, although the locals
out hit them II to 9.
Seven men on the Kaw team hit the
ball and hit it hard. But they could
mt tie the score, much less win. when
the close ones went against them on
the no slide to first rule which O'Tooie
seems to have interposed.
Chapman and Mcdonald, the new
third sacker figured prominently in
the run getting, the latter driving in
two of the runs. The score:

New York. Aug e.-Rufus L. Perry.
a colored lawyer of Brooklyn, en-
braced the Jewish faith in the home

After paying all expenses the associa-

Tho chautauquas held in the Sixth

Walsh and King beat the ball Monday
by sliding into first and both were
called out. 1t happened several times
last week and in each case the runner
was called out. 1t doesn't look right
