so carefully piled that 1t would remain

The inner walls OF the vault are backed
with boxes not much larger than that
used by bootblack when he shines your

There are two rows of these boxes ris-

running clear around the inside of the
vault. Each box contains two bags of
silver dollars, just like the thousands of
bags which lie within. The money is all
stored In bags of white canvas Each
bag Will hold about peck and it con-
tains just 3ne Thousand silver dollars.
The bags are about as large as those with
which boys go chestnutting, and as they
lie there in. the vault they look for all
the world like so -nany little bags or
wheat. Each bag has seal upon it, and
it would be impossible to get, at the

NEW YORK COTTON

New York, Sept 29,-The cotton market today was less active with prices easing off under realizing or scattered selling. The forecast for clearing weather in the western belt, and private predictions that more favorable conditions also might follow the rains indicated for tonight or tomorrow east of the river ap- pearad to encourage selling. Offer ings did not become general or az gressive and probably were restricted by renewed predictions of a bullish October bureau report next Thurs day.
 The Washington news was cOnsid- cred much more encouraging, as it indicated that the Underwood sub Stitute for the Clarke cotton tax amendment was much less drastic than shown by current reports.
 It is rumored that some of the re- cent largest buyers have been heavy sellers around the If cent level and trade buying seemed to be less in evidence today.
 Two private crop reports issued during the morning indicated a de- terioration of 45 to 6.2 per cent for the month, one placing the condi- tion at GIT and the other at 65.1.

AT THE PRINCESS.

1 The new bill at the Princess, which
 opened yesterday, is d. remarkably
 entertaining vaudeville offering, a | bill with plenty of variety, music, | dancing. comedy and acrobatics. As arranged it is one of the best bills of
 the present season, and pleased three | big houses yesterday.
 Mons Valle, the man who pos | sesses the distinction of having civ | ilized the accordeon, proved one of | the big attractions on this bill The
 average accordeon act would not ap- peal very strongly to the amusement | loving public, but this one is differ | ent. Mons. Valle gets more entranc- | ing music out of an accordeon than is usually evolved from dozen instru- ments in the hands of artists. His playing is of a character that sur prises and delights, his repertoire running from the classics to popular
 and ragtime selections, and he is ire quently recalled.
 LaF'rance and McNabb two black face artists, have an act that is far above the average minstrel offering This team of comedy artists bring
 new and novel feature in the black face line and they are sure free win ners at every appearance. Harry Harvard and company in
 their comedy vaudeville playlet, The Firefly,' present a rapid fire comedy sltit that is d corker. The company composed of Hayward and two charming young women stage their offering at the station of a jerkwater
 railway line and the comedy and wit goes over like a battery of rapid fire guns.
 One of the big acts of the bill is James Toney and Annette Morgan. Toney enjoys the distinction of being he tallest and skinniest man i'll vaudeville. He is a comedy artis., too, and he makes his spare and un- gailny form the basis for a splendid fifteen minutes of fun, ably assisted by Miss Annette Morgan
 Wartenburg Brothers in their up-
 side down juggling act, are a neat surprise. They are musicians, too, and they render some charming se- lections while juggling all manner of
 articles with their feet. Their act
 is at once novel and attractive anG they close a very clever bill in an acceptable manner

All those who want to be cured of the "glooms" for at least one evening should not by any chance miss Our Wives a rollicking two part Vita graph comedy which will be shown today at the New Central.
 While of course being as fond of their husbands as most wives are, nevertheless Mrs. Chandler and Mrs. Blair somewhat distrust their hus- bands excuses for their trip to the shore and they insist upon going with them. Chandler and Blair take them to see the new opera The Fleur De Lis The opera proves a failure and Blair and Chandler seeing. all their wealth going up in smoke, go the next morning to visit Hilda and tell her that they have determined to commit suicide. Suddenly their wives appear on the scene and in the confusion Chandler and Blair hide themselves in two of Hilda S trunks, leaving their final messages in the shape of notes behind them. These notes are found and the wives believe that both of them are dead. This belief grows stronger day by day and they have no hope of the recovery of their dear husbands. un- til they go to Hilda's apartments i'll New York, where MT DeyeauXs de- tective tells them of what has hap pened
