Mirabeau and the King
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

TT was 124 years ago-June %.
17S9-that the great Mira
beau threw down his gaunt-
let at the feet Of the King and
challenged him to a duel for the
liberties of France. The King had
ordered "a royal sitting of all
the orders, before which he would
tell them a thing or two, in plain
French.
On the morning OF the 23d the
sitting awaited his majesty in the
Church of st. Louis. The King
entered. He was saluted only by
the nobility and portion OF the
clergy. The Third Estate sat in
gloomy silence. Anxiety was de-
picted on every countenance. Ii
was as clear as day to every dis
corning person present that pref
" soon there would be some

The King began reading The
Declaration Concerning the Pres

intention to maintain the sapa-
rate deliberations of the orders

come to his terms. Then, midst

New York, November 1.-THE cotton
market was lower today under liquidation

prominent Memphis spot firm would issue
a crop estimate of 15.O00,oO0 bales and talk
OF a slackening trade demand may have

the interior markets and there was prac-
tically nothing fresh in the way of crop

closed barely steady at net decline of So

ings increased around 1915 for January or

day under renewed liquidation. The close
was at practically the lowest point, with

New Orleans November 1.-THE cotton
market was steady at the decline today.
Selllng pressure was In evidence nearly
the whole session through. Only for a.
short while We're prices higher than yes-
terday's closing level and then the ad-
vance was insignificant. There seemed to
be no special reason for the selling, ex-
cept perhaps, the apathy of the bull side
and the report that low grade cotton
was pressing for sale in southern spot
markets.
The opening was steady at a decline of
to points. Once in the morning the
market stood l to 8 points over yester-
days close, but at noon the trading
months were 6 to 2 points under yester-
days last figures and in the afternoon the
decline was widened to II to 20 points.
