HALLOWEEN.

If you are racking your brain for
some clever and original idea for
your Halloween party you will do
we'll to read the following. You will
find them just full of helpful sug-
gestions:
A jolly stunt is trying to kiss the
Halloween Blarney stone. For this
a large, white stone is placed on a
table, and the guests told that the
fairies had placed a spell upon II
and any one who succeeded in kiss
ing it while blindfolded would be
ever after jolly and amiable.
Another thing is to arrange three
bowls-one water, one OF coffee and
one of tea. The water signifies
that the blindfolded person dipping
finger into 1t is to be married
within a year. coffee means being
widowed, and tea an old maid or
bachelor.
A new game for Halloween u
seeking for fortune. Hide a wedding
ring, a purse and button in different
parts of the room. The one who
finds the ring will be happily mar
ried, the one who finds the purse
will be immensely rich. and the
one who finds the button will be
doomed to Single blessedness for
life."
Another game is to arrange a
looking glass and hang near a
draped doorway. A man wearing a
mask should be concealed behind
the drapery. Lower all the lights
in the room, take a candle and go
before the glass, gaze into Il, eating
an apple. Tradition, says that your
future husband will peer into the
glass over your shoulder. The
masked man should glide from be-
hind the door and peer over the
shoulder of the lady just at the
right moment. This will occasion
much merriment and result In a
great surprise for the lady.

1.-THE CONFESSION"

1.-THE Confession, by James
Halleek Reid, which enjoyed a sue
.cessful run at the Broadway Bijou
Theater, New York City, for six
months. and playing two successful
seasons en- tour, will be seen at the
Gayety Theater next week, under the
auspices OF the Ancient Order Of Hi
bernians. All friends of the order
are urged to secure their tickets from
members or from Thomas keenan,,
Kaufman & Straus, Doherty & Nc
Elliott, Seiberz drug store at Sixth
and Oak, and Gathof's grocery at
Twenty-fourth and Broadway. 1.-THE
Confession" dares to tell the truth
and in its telling unfurls dramati3
story of power, strength and literary
merit. 1t uses for it's theme vital
subject. A priests duty to his
church versus. his duty to the State;
in fact, II is story that runs the
gamut of every human emotion, and
yet there is not line that would
offend the most sensitive. No more
absorbing tragedy has ever been con-
ceived, no greater stage picture and
lesson ever presented. This epoch
OF Christianity provides material for
play of unusual interest, unlike
anything else ever produced. "The
Confession" will live for its theme
and purpose. It is too great TO die;
truth can not die. right must coz
Quer might. Mr.. Reid is firm in his
belief that a much-abused public will
welcome a play with real life inter-
est, not depending on the lewd, the
sensational OF vulgar for its success,
but rather upon truth, which from
time began has always been stronger
than might Matinees will be given

WEATHER CONDITIONS
IMPORTANT TO COTTON
Developments of July Position
May be Strong

New Orleans, La, May 19-Weather
conditions will continue to be the
main influence in the cotton market
this week, although developments IN
the July position may be strong enough
to attract some attention, and, per-
haps, affect the whole list in the flu
ture market. Of late, however, it has
been evident that the trading public is
less inclined to trade in the old crop
positions than is usually the case at
this time of the year, and consequent
ly the July option has lost much of its
Importance. Reports from the cotton
region at the end of last week indi-
Gated that rain is still needed in many
important sections of the eastern belt,
but that elsewhere ample moisture for
the time being has fallen.
Nearly everywhere in the belt warm
er weather will be welcome
The great question of the near future
is in regard to getting the crop up to a
stand. Planting was early enough,
but much seed has failed to terminate,
either because of low temperatures or
Of lack of moisture in the soil, or be-
cause of both reasons. Warm weather
with very little rain in the western and
central belts and warm weather with
good rains in the eastern belt are the
conditions most desired this week. If
they materialize the market may have
a tendency to work lower, especially
rs it is claimed by many brokers anj
traders that good part of the short
interest has covered, leaving the mar
ket weaker, technically, than it has
been for some time past.

next barbecue at Cold Springs.
In most happy response the gov.
ernor-elect thanked the superintendent;
and the students, assuring them than
the carving knife would have due use
at the next barbecue, which he inyit-
ed every one present to attend. Ap,

rectly to the hearts of the people.
