places of rest. At first the prisoner

sheriff, and the deputy walked close
by. Later on they got off without

Origin of Dumdum Bullets

The French accuse the Germans of us
 ing dumdum bullets in Alsace. They have made a collection of these missiles, and promise to enter formal complaint about them before The Hague tribunal, or before the representatives of the pow CTS of all the world, says the New York Mail.
 Dumdum bullets have their name from little town in India, near Calcutta, where the ammunition factory for the British government in India Is situated. For the benefit of Afghans possible In dian mutineers. negroes and other bar barians, the British had a bullet manu- factured here which is half covered with steel but with sort leaden nose; when discharged from a modern rifle of high power, this soft nose expands, or ''mush- rooms" turning the bullet in the air into a horrible bulging object which tears through the flesh of a man, surely bleed ing him to death
 The purpose of this bullet is to kill the man every time. The purpose of the ordinary humane bullet of modern war fare, which is wholly incased in steel or nickel, is merely to put the man out of the fight. It makes a small, clean wound. If it does not strike a vital part the bullet may go entirely through the man without wounding him seri- ously But it shuts him out of the fight for the time being.
 Our British friends in India consid- cred that humane bullet like that would be of little use to fight savages with and therefore, at Dumdum they manu- factured the soft-nosed, expanding horror. But the international conference at The Hague in 1899 decided against the use of this bullet in war, and adopted rule forbidding 1t.

TRADING CAUSES CABLE ADVANCE Individual Investors Supply Bulk of Business-COm-
 mittees Active

New York. october 5.-Operations by the s100 900 gold pool today exercised considerable influence on the foreign ex- change market. Cables opened as low as 4.s5%; with demand bills a cent under that quotation, but the unusually large inquiry soon caused fractional ad- vance.
 Further subscriptions to the fund from interior banks were reported and it is believed that the pool will soon have In hand not less than 25 per cent of the en- tire amount pledged. A considerable part of the exchange sold was for the cotton bills recent heavy shipments of that staple being reflected in these documents.
 The several committees supervising pri- vate sales of securities were more ac- tive al a result of a broader demand Tor high class bonds and stocks. Individual investors supplied the bulk of the busi- ness, but interior corporations also were in the market.
 Unfavorable reports dealing with con ditions in the steel trade were again cur rent and these, together with the state of the copper industry, furnished the only disquieting news of the day It was said that numerous orders for finished steel had been cancelled and that new SDeclIlCdllODS Wtlc iOWCi iAeAh bSAcA S' One of the minor Michigan Iron ore companies announced a 10 per cent cut in wages.
 Except for renewals, the money mar ket was flat. At best, quotations for time loans were only nominal at 7dS per cent.
 That crops are being rushed to market is evidenced in the enormous grain re- ceipts at Chicago, which are far in ex- cess of last week, and more than 5,oo0O0o bushels greater than in the same week of last year.

Business on Morris avenue began yesterday with a brisk demand fin most lines. The fair weather prevailing had marked effect on trade. and activity among statesmen was stimulated. Fruits and produce were displayed to advant- age, and buyers paid frequent visits to the wholesale district. California grapes are in abundance. and are es- pecially large and luscious at this time. Celery is also coming in fine shape. If good weather continues heavy in : crease in supplies will be necessary to meet the needs of those attending the exhibitions at the fair, and the whole saiers will indirectly feel the extra de- mand for produce and meats.

SLIGHT ADVANCE : NOTED IN WHEAT Close Is Firm, Liberal Ex- port Sales Giving
 Strength

Chicago October 5.-The outcome today in wheat was firm close at ssq&c above Saturday nights level. Corn lost, ss@1sGl@ssc net oats finished l4c off and provisions irregular. varying from 27lke edcline to rise of 2lsc.
 Wheat bulls were prompt to take ad- vantage of reports that. owing to drought, the crop in New South Wales and in Vic toria had reduced s5,o0o,oo0 bushels, hall of the normal yield. Some spectators were affected by advices that seemed less hopeful of Italy and Turkey being kept out of the war. Liberal export sales reported made here and at Kansas City tended also to give the market strength.
 Heaviness developed in the corn mar ket, owing somewhat to assertions that even late fields were now virtually out of danger from frost Cash demand was slow.
 Oats suffered from profit taking sales by longs, but the market was steadied by cash transactions that reached as high as S00,O00 bushels.
 Disappointing figures regarding exports caused provisions to average lower.
 Future duortations were as follows:

MARKET HAS GOOD TONE DESPITE LOSS Strong Element FavOrs an Early Opening of the
 Future Ring

New Orleans, October 5.-Spot cotton lost one-sixteenth of cent a pound in the local market today midding being lowered to 13-16c, and January contracts were traded in at 7.70c. This was a fall of about 30 points from the high levels reached by January last week. In spite of the losses the market had a good tone.
 A feature of the day was general dis cussion of the proposition to reopen the future ring at an early date. There is, apparently, strong and growing element in the local trade which favors an early opening
 The export movement caused consid- era ble comment of bullish nature. For eign clearances from all ports for the day amounted to 14,675 bales.
 New Orleans, October 5.-Spot cotton quiet; sales on the spot, 25; to arrive, 300: good ordinary, 6-16c nominal strict good ordinary, 13-16c nominal; low midding, 5-1Gc/ nominal; strict low middling, 9-16c; middling, 13-16c; strict middling. 1-16c; good middling. 7-16c; strict good middling, 8 13-16c nominal.

welIington's Correspondent

From the London Mall.
 No woman has ever loved me, Never. in my whole life. It was the Duke of Wellington who said that. He said 1t when he was a widower. But the con- fession appears to furnish an inadequate excuse for the sunragette attack upon his picture in the academy. Indeed. the duke merited kind thoughts from women. for 1t became known long after his death that tho busy warrior and statesman had maintained courteous but unnecessary correspondence for nearly 70 years with a female bore who desired his conver- sion. Chivalry could hardly have gone farther. Even the dukes forbearance, however. at last gave way under the strain of Miss Jo'ss pertinacity and as- sertiveness, and the long exchange of let ters ceased. Miss J. appears to have been an early Victorian church militant.

LITTLE CHANGE
 MADE IN COTTON Receipts Are Increasing But Still Are Far Below
 Normal

New York, October 5.-Iittle or no change was reported in the cotton situa- tion here today. There were rains in the eastern belt threatening to damage the grade of open cotton and to delay picking. but crop news attracted very little attention and local spot dealers said their offers from the south were about the same as at the end of last week.
 Receipts are increased somewhat, but still! are far below the normal and nearly all reports indicated that farmers are holding the bulk of their crops A re- port is expected from the committee on rules and bylaws here within the next day or two, and other committees are said to be working hard over measures necessary to a resumption of business, but no official announcements were made during the day.

 The King of Denmark rules over a corpulent nation. Professor Lyde, who holds the chair of economic geography at university college, declares that from one end of Denmark to the other you would not find a really thin man. The rap- i'd development of dairy farming in Dem mark tends to mako men lazy. The prf- vate houses adjoin the byres, which are kept at warm and equable temperature and the people are employed in warm buildings, living chiefly on milk and ce- reals; tho men get so lazy they will not take the trouble to cut up their food.

A Futurist Mistake

 There's a futurist story going the rounds of the studios-a story about Mrs. Blanc.
 The beautiful Mrs. Blanc had her DOT trait done by leading futurist painter. When the portrait was finished the painters valet delivered it and Mrs. Blanc gave a huge reception in it's honor
 Reception and portrait alike were great successes. A hundred guests were grouped all the evening before the strange, mystic, futurist work, and you heard continually such exclamations as "Divinev' "A per- feet likeness!' 'The eyes are superb,' and so forth.
 In the midst of all this the artist him. self with Mrs. Blanc on his arm, ad- vanced to admire his creation. He gave one look at 1t and roared
 Why, this isn't your portrait. ma am. My fool of a valet has brought you ye- suvius in Eruption instead.'
