Substance of Statement by DR.. Ben.
ner Of the University of
Pittsburgh.

DETROIT, February 2s.-Dr. Raymond
c. Benner Of the University Of Pittsburgh
gave lecture before the Twentieth Cen
fury Club on the effects Of smoke and
SCOT on human life and on business ana
the high cost of living.
His talk was illustrated with stereoptfcon
views. one of the most impressive of
which was pair of bottles, one holding
a half pint Of SCOT and the other nearly
as much The half pint of SCOT caused
the death of a Pittsburgh peddler ana
was taken from his lungs. The smaller
bottle represented the amount OF SCOT
that generally might be found In the
lungs Of a Pittsburgher, perhaps quar-
ter of a pint.
The toll which the smoke nuisance col
lects in cash is $5O0.0OO.O 900 a year ac-
cording to the estimate Of Prof. Benner:
or SIT for every man, woman ana chiao 10
in the United States: Between 30 ana ~

:.
NEW YORK, February 2S-The cotton
market opened firm at an advance of to

This caused some liquidation of March
and the market eased off or points
from the best right from the call, but
spot interests were buyers Of the near
month, and 1t was reported that the no.
tees were being promptly stopped. March
soon firmed up in consequence, with
shorts finding comparatively few sellers
after the first few minutes, and the
market during the middle of the morning
was steady to firm, with the near months

SMALL CHANGES FOR LEADERS

NEW YORK, February 2s-Variable
movements within a fractional range
marked the early session. Bear traders
made little Roadway In depressing prices,
outside of a few mercurial specialties
At the same time buying was repressed
by the recent scaling down OF the snort
interest. There was also an absence OF
the late inquiry from Investment sources
and business was on comparatively
small scale. Further favorable reports
for January strengthened the position or
the railroads although Baltimore and
Ohio was depressed by the appearance OF
new obstacles In the way of its proposed
bond issue. Bonds were steady.
Selling of Can stocks following the dec.
laration after the close yesterday or "a

preferred issues sharply.

Monitor Puritan No Longer Chased
as Naval Vessel.

The big double urreted monitor Puri-

Battalion as a practice ship, has been
stricken from the naval list, after thirty
years Of service. She was launched at
the Norfolk navy yard in December 1892
and was badly damaged in Hampton
roads about a year ago. during an expert
mental test of high explosives.
Although not settled, 1t is probable she
will be put up for sale to the highest

Of 6,OO0 tons. and an armament of six
