New York Cotton.

New York, Feb 19.-Cotton opened
steady at an advance of one point on
September, but generally points
lower, in response to disappointing
cables. There were overnight buying
orders around the ring and prices
quickly worked up to a net advance
of from to 7 points.
A better view of the Mexican situa-
ton and favorable spot advices from
the South, combined with the fact that
the market had readily absorbed large
offerings during the previous day
probably accounted for the demand
At the advance, however, there was
renewed pressure from Wall street
and other local sources, and the mar
ket reacted to nearly the opening fig
ures before the erd of the first hour

COCKROACHES ACCUSED
OF CAUSING CANCER

Berlin, Feb. 1.-the results of ex-
periments to find the origin of cancer
have been published by Prof. Johannes
Fibiger. director of the Pathological
Institute at Copenhagen.
His researches show that cancerous
growths in the esophagus and stom-
achs of rodents were due to the pres
ence in the alimentary tract of minute
worms, an indeterminate number of
which are from the common kitchen
cockroach. Prof. Fibiger succeeded in
producing cancer by feeding eggs Vi
cockroaches to rats.
The experiments are considered of
great importance to seekers after Il
cure for cancer, as they form the first
experimental production of the disease.
Persons are warned in the publica-
ton to abstain from eating food over
which cockroaches have passed, as
such food is believed to be capable Of
injecting healthy person with the
germs of cancer.

courthouse park, and an old we'll AZ

water supply. Over where the present
courthouse stands was the French no.

Wooden stores lined the business
streets on either side, except on Jack

a pretentious hotel, of twenty rooms,
was located. A rambling old wooden
hotel building stood upon the presen,

BOND ISSUE

Mr.. Andrews continued, and am con-
WINGED that the bond issue will be cal.
ried successfully"
Like many others, Mr.. Andrews be.
lieves that the issuing of bonds will
serve to reduce the county tax rate,
rather than to increase it, and for that
reason, as well as to see the improve
ment of the roads continued, he nov
favors the bond issue. He is frank
to admit the mistake he once made in
opposing county bond issue.
One of the many good reasons adj
vanced favorable to tax reduction, IS
the fact that should the bond issue be
defeated, an increase in the present
rate of taxation will be necessary to
the end of meeting current expenses.
One half of such increase would go to
tie state the county deriving no benefit
from that part at all. With 100000
available for building bridges and cul-
verts the rate of taxation would be
less. Without this sum the rate will.

POINCARE ASSUMES
ROLE OF PRESIDENT
Transfer Of Office Quiet and
Simple

Paris, Feb 19-Raymond Poincare
yesterday took over the office Of
president of the French republic fro'l
Armand Fallieres, who retired after
serving his full term of seven years
Nothing more simple than the transfer
of power from one chief executive in
France to his successor can be mag
ined.
President Poincare listened while M.
Iaillieres said:
I transfer to you the powers of the
state"
Then in clear, solemn voice he re-
Piled
Il consecrate myself to the service
of the republic"
The ceremony took place in the
beautiful palace of the Elysee. No oath
of office was taken nor any grafton
made. Just a few courteous sentences
were uttered by NJ. Fallieres, and they
were answered by NJ Poincare.
AS President Poincare, accompanied
by his two predecessors. Armand Fa,-
Heres and Emile Loubet, left the pal
ance, many thousand bouquets were
thrown at them spontaneously by
working girls, who took off their nosa e.
gays and tossed them into the car
riage.
At the same time an aviator with his
aeroplane freighted with fresh bios
SONS, dropped them from great
height along the route to the city hall
and upon the building itself.
There luncheon had been prepar a
by the city councillors for the new
president. President Fallieres' aged
mother and his wife were present in
the city hall to witness the scene.
A beautiful and stirring effect was
caused in the city hall when an i'm
mense choir, composed of the full
choruses from the Opera Comique and
the Academy of Music sang the Mar
sellaise" and other patriotic hymns.
Premier BRAND formally rendered
the resignation of his cabinet to Presi-
dent Poincare today, but the president
asked that the ministry remain in Of
flee.
President Poincare has received mes
sage of felicitation from all the rulers
of the world.

Come again the fair June bride,
With her father by her side;
Gracefully she moves along,
Eyed by all the eager throng,
Half-concealed in richest gauze-
Hear the whispered "Oh'sr' ard

Queenliness is in her style
AS she travels down the aisle;
This is her eventful day;
Come what will or come what may,
This triumphant hour shall be
Glorious in her memory.
Conscious of their envy who
Turn to gaze from bench and pew,
She proceeds with splendid grace
Onward to the sacred place,
While her father, stout and gray,
Wishes he were far away.
See the bridesmaids, young and fair
Never was scene so rare!
And her mother-ah, how proud,
What splendid, stylish crowd!
Hear the organs rising tone
She is coming to her own.
Glorious the fair June bride,
With her father at her side,
With her bridesmaids ranged about
And her mother, proud and stout;
And the groom: = but who WILL care?
This is all the BRIDES affair.
