THE RED CROSS BENEFIT
 WAS A GREAT SUCCESS


 The benefit performance at the Popular Picture Palace last night in aid of the American branch of the Red Cross society must have struck a responsive chord in the breasts ot q large portion of the community of Skagway for by the time the openil was at hand the house was crowded to it's capacity and almost every available foot of standing room was occupied. .
 The motion picture part of the program was opened with q portray al of the almost idealistic peace and happiness that prevailed in the humble home of "Ostler Joe" un- til a passing stranger, attracted by the beauty and innocence of the young wife, set himself the task of winning her from her wifely allieg- ance, in which dastardLy work, he succeeded only too well. All through the time of his shame and misery and his sorrow at the death of Little Joe, the nobility of char acter of "Ostler Joe" sublimeiy stood forth, but never more so than when he read in a London pa Der of his wife lying sick, desti- ute and dying in one of the city 5 tenements and without hesitation Or remembrance of his grievous wrongs hastened to her bedside to soothe by his presence and admin ister to the needs Of the CT ring one.
 The quartette, consisting of Miss Miller, Mrs. II. G. Kirmse and Messrs. Cleon Ask and Hugh r. . Gallagher, rendered a beautiful sell ection, for which they were hearti- Iv encored and gave a response.
 The Grey sentinel" @ motion picture story of the American Re belIion. was an excellent and life like exhibition.
 A vocal solo by Mrs. +. c. kirm- SC is deserving of special mention' her beautiful and cultivated voice. filling the hall with melody, was 1 listened to with raDt attention. Mrs. Kirmse was also encored and very gracefully responded.
 Taking Care of the Baby" and "Mary's Goat" were two motion picture comedy features which were well received by the audience. The orchestral selections by lIessrs. Selmer, Ganty and Blanch- ard and the piano accompaniement to the vocal numbers by MT. vel don Warren, were all most excel ] lently rendered.

 He also reported that the new hose house erected by the city on the stub alley between 22d and 23d streets was ready for use and had cost $2O2.99, which amount in cluded a priming coat of paint that had been put on.

YOUEGMEN's DEMOCRAT:
&c LEAGUE TO MEET
!. THURSDAY NIGHT

The Young Mems Democratic League
which recently met and nominated Mr..
Lee G. Council for Mayor of the City of
Americas, is arranging for a monster
meeting on Thursday night. \
The meeting will be held at the ar
mory and will be called to order
promptly at 1880. Every person in the
iCty Of Americas who is interested in
the election of Mr. Council is invited
to be present and to participate in
the proceedings of the meeting.
The League thinks that in the can
didate it presents to the people Of
Americas it has selected a conserva-
tive, cautious, energetic business man,
who, having spent all of his life in
Americas, is thoroughly conversant
with the needs of the city.
A great many who are not identified
with the League have already pledged
their support to Mr. Council, believ-
ing that by his election the City Of
Americas will secure an ideal Mayor.
The League wishes to assure the
people of Americas that it's sole OBJ
ject is to insure good.government and
business-like administration of city
affairs, and to this end invites all of
the friends of Mr.. Council to be pres
ent>a this meeting.

COTTON SAGGIAG;
DEMAND SAGGING; !
PRICE DECLINING
FARMERS STILL HOLD on DETER.
MINEDLY.

10 - 49,
Six and quarter cents is about the
top level price for the best grades Of
cotton in the Americas market todar,
and even at this seemingly suicidal
price, there is little, if any demand.
The market has sagged at both ends
and in the middle as we'll this week,
and Americas warehouses are any
thing than scenes of wonted activity.
No one wants cotton, and the dope CIV
en- out by the local talent is inclined
to further recessions.
The basis for the expectation 81
still lower prices IS the idea that Of
ferings will later be much in excess
of the Demand it is known that a
large crop has been made; it is also
known that much of it is wanted; but
it is not known whether the supply
that will be available at prices offered
will be sufficient to satisfy the de-
mand.
There is still tendency to hold cot
ton, rather than sacrifice it, which
is what must produces think selling
at current prices amounts to. With a
realization of the Importance that the
price should not be allowed to fall too
low, extraordinary assistance and en-
couragement have been accorded to
the producer to enable him to hold his
cotton, rather than force it on an
overloaded market.
1t has been generally supposed that
it was necessary to hold only four or
five million bales off the market this
year, the remaining demand being re-
garded as sufficient to absorb the
rest. But Judging from available data
a very much greater proportion is
being held. So far, it appears that
considerably more than one-half Of
the crop is being held.
There is no question, but that cot
ton sold now is sacrificed, regardless

george STALLINGS ALONE
PICKED BOSTON BRAVES
TO WIN CHAMPIONSHIP
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.)

ASSOCIATED Press Dlspatch.)
ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 14.-Now that
the worlds series is over and the
Braves have beaten all records by cop
ping four in a row against the Ath-
letics, it is interesting to note that
only one Georgia baseball expert pick
ed the winner-and that was George
Stallings himself, manager of the
Miracle Club" who steadily expressed
faith in VICTORY.
Granthland Rice, the famous base
ball writer, was formerly an Atlanta
newspaper man, and married an
Americas girl. He picked the Athletics
to win. And in his American All-Star
team, chosen before the big games
were played, he left off most of the
men who distinguished themselves in
the great series. He picked Schang.
of the Athletics, for catcher. emitting
Gowdy, of the Braves, who proved the
bright star of the series. He pickec
for pitchers, Bender, James, Tesrau
and Alexander. Bender was hammered
out of the box, while Rudolph beat the
Athletics twice and Tyler once, and
neither was in Rices lineup.
Ty Cobb, the Georgia Peach, was
certain Philadelphia would win in his
published forecasts. Billy Smith, the
Atlanta manager, picked the Mackmen
for champions If there has been any
expert of note who backed the Braves
his forecast did not gain much pub
lefty
The honesty of baseball is we'll in
dictated in the fact that the Braves
took four straight games, thereby cost
ing the owners of the two clubs at
least $150,OO0. Under the rules, the
players share in only the first four
games, so their split is the same, any
way, but the club owners take the
lions share of the three last contests
when seven games are played-and
they lost every bit of it this season. If
baseball were as crooked as some folk
profess to believe, the manager of the
Braves might have whispered to STALL
ings to let Mack take couple of games
and thus permit the full seven to be
played. But it is clear that he didn't
or if he did, he was not obeyed.
One Atlanta newsboy won $25 on the
series on a quarter bet--taking up
10O-to-1 shot that neither team would
win four straight games.

of whether the price later goes still
lower or not. There is really no ne
cessity for this sacrifice, for no at
tempt will be made to market thu
entire crop The market acts as if
the whole crop had to be sold, Eleven
to fourteen millions bales will be want
ed, and the balance of the crop should
be entirely withdrawn.
Forcing such a market as the pres
ent is simply suicidal. If people would
stop competitive selling the price pro-
baby would be back to s cents, at least
in a week.
