SMITH REFORMS
IN COTTON WIN
EASY VICTORY
New York Exchange Frightened
Into Voluntarily Adopting
Threatened Changes.

NEW YORK, Oct. Enlightened
by the recent Congressional agitation
against trading in cotton futures, the
New York Cotton Exchange has
bowed to the inevitable and now plans
to make voluntary reforms which will
the bill which Senator Hoke Smith,
Of Georgia, and Representative Oscar
Underwood, of Alabama, came near
making law
Congress, at the last moment before
passing the tariff BILL dropped the
amendment regulating the cotton ex-
changes, but it was evident such a
measure would pass almost without
opposition at the next session. Now
the New York Exchange will do it's
own housekeeping, hoping, of course,
that such action will prevent any fur
Their lawmaldng.
Leopold Bache, of J. S. Bache & Co,
one of the board of governors, states
frankly that the exchange hopes to
disarm all criticism by reforming the
methods of handling business, the
grades recognized by New York con-
tracts, and the method of settling
grade differentials.
He says the exchange can not adopt
the Government grades, because they
are based on Gulf cotton, and make
no recognition of the upland types
grown in Georgia and other South
eastern States. He believes, how
ever, that grades can be adopted
which will please all concerned.
Seven members of the exchange
have been appointed a committee to
so into the entire question and re-
port not later than October 20, to a
special meeting of the board of gov
ernOrS.
Years of protest from all the cotton
growing States, the English and New
England spinners and all consumers
of actual cotton against the unfair
New York contract awaited nothing
Then Senator Clarke, Of Arkansas,
introduced a bill in Congress which
would have wiped out all the cotton
exchanges. This was defeated when
Senator Hoke Smith presented his
substitute. which would have hit only

some changes made by Oscar Under
wood, this amendment is acceptable

trade except New York
Before all this pressure the ex-
change had to give way.

She readily said, A diamond. I then put my hand in my right pocket, and asked her what had in my right hand She said Purse, which was correct. took a coin in my right hand while it was still in my pocket and said 'Beulah, what have l in my right hand now?'

 FOR THEIR BRIDES

Some few years ago a deputy mar shal was assigne dto duty at Nusha- gak. Upon arrival there he very quick ly let it be known that everybody would have to get married" or by the power invested in him, he would gather them in to his bastile. Of course, the minion of the law, in is- suing his edict, meant that white men who had taken native women into their homes-the law calls it a harsher name-would have to go through the formality of a marriage, for the pro. lection of the women as well as the offspring.
 Now there were a lot of young native bucks roaming around the Nush- agak country who were not ready to enter the ranks of the Benedicts, but they took the marshars edict literally, and though it meant that they too, must seek a helpmate. Hence, there was wild scramble. exceeding the effort of Seward bachelors, to get dusky maidens to become their wives. Many weddings, under the cir cumstances, took place, according to one who was on the ground.-Seward Gateway.

 Dr. Hopkins also took his watch from his pocket, and, holding it con- cealed asked her the time, Her reply was accurate.
 She named cards as they were ta- ken from a pack, told just where in the pack each card was, and in every way met the tests made by Dr. Hop kins.
 Mrs. Mary Rash of Brooklyn then eudeavored to elicit from the girl wrong answers as to variety of ques- tions, but in vain
