PASSING OF LILLIAN NoRDIcA

Madame Lillian Nordica, the fam
Gus American prinla donna, died in
Batavia, on the island of Java, May
IL, and her remains will be sent to
her home in the United States on
May 18th, inclosed in Chinese cof-
fin. Nine. Nordica vas touring tine
south seas when the ship on which
she was travelling was wrecked in
Torres straits, and through exposure,
contracted pneumonia, from which
she died.
Lillian Nordica was born in Farm
ington, Maine, 1853, and after short
schooling, entered the employ of a
dry goods merchant in Boston, where
her natural ability was accidentally
discovered by lady of wealth, who
cultivated her voice. Her grandfath-
er was Camp meeting John Allen,
famous Maine character in olden
days, and her father, Edwin Norton,
was a farmer in the town of her
birth. At the age of sixteen size
sang in oratorioJ while studying
in the Boston Conservatoire under
Professor O'Neill.
In her eighteenth year she accom-
panied the Gilmore band to Europe,
where she scored success in the
Trocadero, Paris, which thoroughly
saturated her being with the desire
to achieve in opera. She studied in
Milan and in 1880 made her debut in
Traviata,' and later became leading
soprano of the grand opera, Paris,
where she won the hearts of the peo-
pie as Marguerite in Faust. In 1888
she was married to an American jour.
nalist, Frederic Cover, by name, who
two years later, Was killed in bal
loon accident on the English chan
mel.
In 1896 she married Zoltan Dieme "A
Hungarian tenor, hut obtained a div
orce eight years later
Marriage No. 3 occurred in 1909 to
George w. Young. wealthy New
York banker, which proved extremely
happy.
Nine. Nordica has received as high
as 100000 for single seasons
work. And now the golden cord is
broken and hushed in death.
No more may be heard the note of
joy or agonizing despair,
Nor any other emotion to which our
race is heir.
No more will her chaste cheek
mantle with the crimson of early
dawn, nor her eye sparkle with de-
light at the sound of some raptur-
GUS melody. And during the trans
minsion of her still white corse over
the rolling billows of the boundless
deep, may her spirit conduct her
requiem softly sung by the moaning
sea.

A.iaties uos Goat Skin churns.

Goat skin churns are the proper
thing in the Asiatic deserts. They
are the unique butter-making con-
trivances OF the world. These churns
resemble gigantic footballs, varying
In size according to the extent of the
family. They are constructed OF
goats skin sewed together in the
form Of a ball. with the hair side in.
Cream is run into these bags un-
til they are about half full, and the
balance OF the space Is filled with air
from the churner's lungs. Then these
churns are suspended from three
sticks and a rocking motion begun.
The air on the inside is calculated to
aid coaxing the butter from the
cream. After the churning the prod
uct is strained through cloth, for the
goats hair has tendency to shed
during the violent operations.

Mr.. Brown had been helping little

One day at dinner she asked Mr..
Brown what the United States paid

"A little over 100000" said he.
"All right said May as she con-

In the encyclopedia"
"Why did you ask me. then?" said
her father.

There was crowd of people in the

A man rushed in and not waiting for

The weather map shows very unset

weather over the belt during the week.
There was no change of consequence
in our market during the morning. The
undertone is good, feeling is bullish
but speculation is still conservative,
proba bly, on account of the movement
continuing so large However. q sharp
falling off in receipts or a quick de-
crease in stocks seems the inevitable
outcome of rapid marketing and large
consumption.
Bullish developments are indicated for
this week in the direction of large ex-
ports and a larger decrease in port and

The apple market is in good.

Much Better Tone in

Marshall Field & Company. in their
weekly review Of the dry goods trade,
says
Our road sales for the past week in

dress goods have made tremendous
strides during the past year in the pro.
duction Of novelties In crepes, voiles and

COTTON IS STEADY;
SPOT HOUSES BUY
Early Bulge Met With Free Sales.
Market in Rut-Sentiment
Equally Divided.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-with trading
restricted, the cotton market opened
steady to-day, with first prices ranging
from unchanged to 5 points higher than
Saturdays close Liverpool cables were
a shade better than due Buying of spot
cotton was about the only support the
market had. Sentiment is somewhat
mixed, but there was disposition to
sell on all soft spots in the face Of con-
tinued good spot demand. After most
active positions had advanced to 5
points from the opening range, general
selling movement prevailed, led by the
ring and large spot house. This class
OF selling sent January down to 1921,
March to 1858 and 1888, or to 5 points
below hte previous close. On the break
the market found good buying orders,
which caused a few points advance.
The market ruled very quiet and mar
row during the early afternoon, with
transactions confined to professionals.
The market seems to be in rut, with
sentiment about equally divided. How
eevr, the bull element Is predicting a
further upward reaction in values, based
on the generally improved conditions
throughout the country and the contin-
ued strong spot situation, while those
inclined to the bear side contend that
the present demand will soon be ex-
hausted-probably February land the
lack of outside participation in the
market will probably cause the list to
seek lower levels.
At the close the market was steady,
with prices / point off to points higher
than the final quotations of Saturday.

CRITICISMS
Marion Jackson Declares Thugs
Have Been EmboIdened by
Disparaging Remarks.

10 a fiery speech that upheld the
Atlanta police department against rs
critics and assailed the unlawful dis
persing of liquor in clubs as the
backbone of the vice contingent, -
Marion jackson stated In the Ponce
peLeon Baptist Church Sunday night
that he believed the shooting of Po-
N.eman William Mckinney Saturday
night was due in a large measure to
thu criticism of the police force.
These reckless criticisms have
.rafr effect on the people of the un-
6erworld," Mr.. Jackson declared. by
attacks on the police, the thugs and
potential criminals are emboldened
and encoura ged to commit crimes of
violence.
The negro who shot and wounded
Policeman Mckinney Saturday night
YER, likely was spurred to his action
br some perverted idea that an attack
on the police would be applauded in
certain sections"
Vice District Gone Forever"
With reference to the vice cam
ratgn. Mr.. Jackson asserted that 1t
was a local manifestation of world
movement.
lsnts Is gone forever" he said, land I
have the statistics to prove that its

immortality through the other sections
Of the city, There never has been a
time since Atlanta became a city Of
size and Importance that this evil was
moi more or less scattered-and there
never was a time when the evil was
less In evidence than 1t is now. The
dragons claws have been pulled"
with reference to the locker clubs,
Mr.. Jackson said the Men and Reli-
gor Forward Movement had elected
"a use publicity instead of injunctions.
we believe that the majority of
the members Of locker clubs are law
abiding" he stated, land we believe
that when the courts have declared
the meaning OF the law, that law
abiding majority will see that the law
is observed.
Aim to Stop Liquor Sales.
AS to the publicity campaign, that
vIl 90 on without hesitation. We are

Mr. jackson praised Chief Beavers
and the work of the police, and as
serted that all licensed and capital

that vice and immortality must now
proceed under cover and that when
Il showed its head 1t must come in
direct conflict with the police.

COTTON GOSSIP

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The opeping
was quiet and transactions were light.
McFadden brokers were the leading
buyers. while Schill was probably the
best seller Wall street brokers also
sold.
McFadden played both sides Of the
market during the morning session.
After he had put the list up several
points through active buying, he turned
a good seller. causing a general sellin &
movement and prices worked off a few
points from the previous close.
Nevertheless, John McFadden was on
the floor last week talking bullishly,
while his brokers were bidding the mar
ket up. He was credited with saying
that the mills will be sweeping their
