TOSSED COIN FOR DEATH.
Chance Determines Instant Suicide
for a French Army Captain.

Chance Determines Instant Suicide
for French Army Captain.
The toss of a coin determined the
death by suicide of an artillery cap
tain, CASTOR Halphen, belonging to a
good family at Fontainebleau, where
he was stationed, says Paris dis
patch.
Halphen went to his room, donned
a dinner coat, wrote several farewell
letters, and then, taking a sou from
his pocket, tossed it in the air to de-
termine whether to die that day or
later. The coin decided for instant
action, and thereupon Halphen I'M
buttoned his coat and deliberately
shot himself through the heart.
Death was instantaneous.
The officer was SO years old. The
letters which he left show he had
quarreled with his fellow officers,
though the cause of the dispute is
unknown. He was wealthy and was
connected by marriage with a mem
Der of the Institute of France.

BRITISH COTTON RAISING
SUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS AT THE
GROWTH WITHIN EMPIRE.
The Financial Results of the Opera
tions Have Not Been Encourage
ing to the Growers.


The British Cotton Growing Asso-
citation has been at work for ten
years paving the way for considera-
BILE extension of cotton growing with
in the empire. The weak spot in the
British cotton trade is the extent to
which the industry is dependent up
on foreign sources of supply for raw
material.
There are in round figures $780,
100000 cotton spindles at work in
the different countries of the world !;
of these more than one-third belong
to Great Britain The United States
ranks second with spindles represent
ing one-ffth of the total, and it is
upon America, her nearest rival in
cotton spinning, that England chiefly
depends for raw cotton. The con-
sumption of American cotton has
steadily increased latterly; for the
1912 season the American crop
reached about 100000 bales, but
it is becoming increasingly evident
that even with a continuance of rec
ord" crops Of American cotton the
supply will prove inadequate to meet
the needs of the industry
Hitherto the association has been
experimenting in cotton growing over
wide area, India and Ceylon, the
West Indies, the Gold coast, Lagos

A North Dakota Victory.

After a trial of prohibition the
mayor of Grand Forks, the second
town of North Dakota, said he spent
five months and $500 to defeat pro-
hibition, but if the question should
come up again he would spend five
years and $1,000 to keep the law.
North Dakota's verdict is that it is
better to raise children away from
all that degrades; better to buy pi-
amos, books, carpets and automobiles
than to buy whiskey; better to send
young people to school and to col
lege than to workshops to support
drunken parents.

DOsED WITH 500 WORTH SERUM
Wife of Joe Yesbic, the Fruit Dealer,
Has Lock Jaw.

In an effort to save the life of Mrs.
Joe Yesbic, wife of a we'll known
wholesale fruit dealer of Albany,
who makes frequent trips to Dawson,
more than 500 worth of anti-tetanic
serum has been administered to her
at the Phoebe Putney Memorial hos
pital. Frequent doses are still being
given the patient, with the result
that the paroxysms, which are such
a distressing symptom of lock jaw,
are now beginning to subside. The
patient is not yet out of danger, how
ever, though her physician has hopes
of her recovery.

southern and northern Nigeria, Rho
desia, British East Africa, the Anglo
Egyptian Soudan and other areas
having all been tested.
In India and Ceylon the outlook is
not encouraging, although it was to
India that the industry has looked
for the most speedy relief from short
supplies. In the West Indies, which
produced the Sea Island cotton suita-
BILE for spinning fine counts, steps are
being taken to increase the supply
by cooperation between the assoc1a-
ton and the larger users.
In Northern Nigeria the outlook is
quite encouraging, and it has been
already necessary to take steps to
enlarge the ginnery at Zaria. Pro-
gress is also being made with cotton
growing in Rhodesia and in Nyasa-
land, where, although the crop OF
1912 was subjected to unfavorable
climatic conditions, much better re-
suits are looked for in the present
season.
The greatest hopes at the moment
are, however, based on the Anglo
Egyptian Sudan. Egypt-grown cot
ton is largely used in Great Britain
by the fine spinners. More than half
| the total consumption of 700, 900
! bales is spun in Lancashire mills,
and the attempts to extend the area
of cultivation to the Anglo-Egyptian
Sudan have met with the most en-
couraging results.
!, The financial results of the opera
lions of the association as profit
earning enterprise have not been en-
couraging.

A SURVEY OF THE FIELD.


The church cannot thrive while
the saloon thrives, and there is cont
ing conflict, the impact of which
will test the church as it has not yet
been tested, and which will shake our
republic to its depths No student
of the liquor problem can avoid this
conclusion. Either the church must
run away or it must stand and meet
the tide of a tremendous moral bat
tile that is inevitable. Evil has been
the aggressor already too long, and
the attacks of the church have been
too largely general and desultory.

in the same manner unless Mr.. Rus
