Changeless Manhattan

From the New York Sun.
 At luncheon the other afternoon a number of real estate men fell to ,.is- cussing the radical changes that t.ke place in New York every decade It was opined that except for the more noteworthy public buildings there was not a part of the city that remained unchanged for 30 years, or genera tion Discussion grew warmer over this radical assertion and finally led to a wager.
 Specifically put. one real estate man bet $10 that aside from public build- ings, churches and the like there was not a part of the borough of Manhat- tan, with the exception of Spuyten Duyvil, that was the same in topo- graphy or thoroughfare as 1t was in the year 1885. The bet was taken hy a quiet hammered man, who had said least in the discussion. When the money was up, this quiet man added to the interest of the incident by saying.
 Now, if you care to. I'll bet $50 that there's a part of Manhattan that has not changed for 50 years and ex- cept churches and public buildings from the wager offer, of course.'
 There were half a dozen of the real estate men willing to cover the money. Finally all clipped In pro rata and the stakes were formally placed In the hands of a disinterested man.
 "Confe now-come now--where Is this place in Manhattan that has re- mained unchanged?" the bettors cho- rused.
 Easy money-let me have it." said the quiet man, reaching a hand toward the referee. This place unchanged in Manhattan in 50 years is Central park. Its paths and roads are the same as when I played in them as boy and that's half century ago" Some of the bettors demurred on technicalities, but the quiet man got the money.

COTTON MARKET
 RECOVERS.LOSS
Larger Spot Business Re- ported In New York
 Market

New York, June 10-The cotton market just about recovered yesterdays losses during today's trading. and closed firm at a net advance of l2 to F points
 Liverpool cables met the local decline of Wednesday. but a large spot business was reported in the market there, which made the showing steady one on the whole, and the local opening was un- changed to points higher. In addi- tion to scattered covering there appeared to be some buying for Liverpool and New Orleans account, and prices gradually worked upward during the day, reaching the best level in the late trading when October sold at sS5 or about II points net higher The strong tone of the stock market helped the advance in cotton and also tended to create rather a more fla vorable sentiment as to political oondi- tions and it looked if local traders who had sold cotton short on yesterdays Washington news were inclined to cover before the text of the note to Germany became public property tomorrow. Aside from the forecast for unsettled weather in Oklahoma and cloudiness In Arkansas the weather news was favorable and the only precipitation indicated by the daily details was at three stations in the Hous- ton district This suggestion of improv- ing crop conditions caused more or less bearish talk around the ring but offer ings were very limited after yesterday s selling movement, while bulish sentiment was encouraged by rumors that New England mills were buying little more freely, the steadier tone of New Or leans and the continued absence of any important hedge selling. Private cables reported a small market in Liverpool with prices influenced by good spot demand and little continental buying Port receipts for today were 9265 bales
 United States port stocks, 954,o55 No ex- ports were reported for the day so far this season 7.a52,197.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, June 10-(Special)-In the absence of any further pressure to sell in anticipation of further decline the market slowly rallied on the covering demand from local sources, closing firm some 13 points higher.
 There was little hedging by Liverpool account, but outside of these orders the offerings were light. Sentiment remains hearish on good weather and the ad- vance today came as a surprise to many. While the demand for cotton in the south is limited there are a number of con tracts for goods or various descriptions being made without securing cotton to market them. The large visible supply and the bearish sentiment induces man. ufacturers to wait for the decline they have predicted.

Parents of Americans

fOnl tne S0TlStldn I1eTdfu
 A careful estimate has been made re- gently of the proportion of citizens of foreign birth and descent throughout the United States which proves of es- pecial interest at the present time. Ac- cording to Prof. Albert B. Faust of Cor nell university, who has made special study of the subject, the country con tained in 1910 32.243.382 people of for eign birth, or 35 per cent of the entire white population. Of this number 13.- S45.545 were foreign born. 12,916.S11 had been born in America of foreign born parents and 5,s91,526 had one such parent. According to the statistics a large proportion of those of foreign birth are of German origin. There are e0o4oao 0eSmans and some 4,504,360 of Irish descent and 3.231,952 classified as English, Scotch and Welsh. Canada contributed 2,754,615 to the so-callcd foreign population; Austria Hungary 2,701,SS6; Russia, 2,541,649 Italy, 2,09S,- 360, and the Scandinavian group. IT, ciuding Sweden, Norway and Denmark 1,743.37s. All the other countries total some 1.177,0S3.

Non-Competition of Foreign Buyers Reason Assigned

Chicago, June 10.-Wheat prices tumhled today 10 the lowest level yet for the 1915 crop.

A Literary Triumph

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 T understand you are stuck on my new book?'
 Yes bought one
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1915-09-02

this summer the receipts have been
showing decrease but no decrease of
twenty-five per cent over the low re-
ceipts of last year were thought pos
sible. 1t is just possible that the bust
ness will be better later.
Just now men who work in the post
office are exceedingly interested IN see
ing an increase rather than falling
off in business. With the coming of a
new postmaster the department always
looks over the conditions of an Office
and the reports of the inspectors at
that time are usually followed pretty
closely in making up budgets for the
Office for the new year. Kenosha needs
more clerks and carriers to handle the
business right now and with a falling
off in receipts it is just possible that
the government inspectors will be q
little slow to recommend. However,
with some six thousand dollar months
it is going to be pretty hard to keep
the receipts of the Kenosha Office up
to the one hundred thousand dollar
mark this year.
The Kenosha office, even with the big
reduction in receipts still remains de
cidedly profitable Office for the depart
ment and it is probable that the in
spectors will see the justice of recon-
mending to the postmaster general In
creases in both the clerk and the car.
rier service of the office.

TELLS OF BIG WORK.
Former Kenosha Minister Shows Work
Being Done for Health in New York.

TO save $4,000 lives IN the next
five years is the task which the New
York state department of health has
SCI for itself, = said Dr. Harry Dee
Brown, former pastor Of the First Bap-
fist church here, who returned east on
Monday after a month IS vacation with
his family in Milwaukee. DR.. Brown,
formerly instructor in rural sociology
at the Milwaukee County Agricultural
school, and for several years a field
worker and lecturer with the Wisconsin
Anti tuberculosis association, is now
connected with the tuberculosis division
of the New York State Charities Aid
Society. He will have charge of work
connected with referendum campaigns
to be conducted in six counties for the
erection of county tuberculosis sana-
toria.
"Public health work is big thing
in New York and the state, following
the example of New York City, has OUT
lined and is enforcing an elaborate
program in its organized effort to re-
duce the death rate,' explained DR..
Brown.
Some idea of the magnitude Of the
work which is being done may be gain
ed from the fact that the city of New
York alone spent $3,O0O,000 for public
health work last year. That was over
sixty cents per capita. In the last ten
years the death rate in the largest city
in the United States has been cut, by
the enforcement of sanitary regula-
tions, from 20 per 1000 to a fraction
over IS.
The State charities Aid is a separ-
ate organization, partly supported by
the state and partly philanthropic. The
