MEN LIVE IN THEIR DEEDS.
lBY Edward EYerett.l

To be cold and breathless, to fee
not and speak not-this is not the
end of existence to the men who have
breathed their spirits into the insti'
tutions of their country, who have
stamped their characters on the pill
lars of the age, who have poured
their hearts blood into the channels
of the public prosperity.
Tell me, ye who tread the sodss OF
!yon sacred height, is Warren dead?
Can you not still see him-not pale
and PROSTATE, the blood Of this gal
liant heart pouring out Of his ghastly
wound, but moving .resplendent over
the field of honor, with the rose of
heaven upon his cheek and the fire
of liberty in his eye?
Tell me, ye who make your pious
pilgrimage to the shades of Vernon,
is Washington indeed shut up in that
cold and narrow house? That which
made these men like these cannot die.
The hand that traced the charter
of Independence is, indeed, motion
less; the eloquent lips that sustained
it are hushed; but the lofty spirits
that conceived, resolved and main
tanned it, and which alone, to such
men, make it life to live-these can
not expire.

COTTON JUMPS
TO17.O3 ON u. S.
REPORT OF CROP
Advance in New York
Market Most Sensa-
tional in History.

New York, Oct. 2.--One of the
most sensational advances in the his
tory of the cotton market attended
the publication Of the two govern
ment reports here today. Since the
beginning of this season there have
been many periods Of activity and
excitement, but none Of them have
approached today's movement either
with reference to the extent Of fluc-
tuations or in volume Of trading.
The demand was stimulated by the
condition figures of 56.3. or the low
est on record, indicating crop Of
only II, ,637,00 bales. Within few
minutes after these figures were is
sued January contracts sold at 1903
or $3.50 bale above the closing
price of last week. %u
The census report showing 4,062,-
991 bales ginned prior to September
Is, established a new high record,
but the trade had been looking for
even larger figures. ~

Futures made new high levels for the
season and all months reached the
highest quotations ever recorded in
the contract market at this time Of
year.

nounced but the. big buying followed
the condition figures Of 56.3 per cent
Iof the normal, the lowest percentage
ever given the crop on September rs.
After traders had digested this re-
port and the forecast of total yield
of 11,6S7,000 bales, the ring was
Eswamped with buying orders and

cotton brought as high price in
Atlanta at this season Of the year as
it brought here Monday. The market
closed at 1916 cents which was an
advance Of so points since the clos
ing of Saturday when the price was

The big advance in the Atlanta
market was due to the sensational
advance in the New York and New
Orleans future markets which result
ed from the bulfish ginners' report
and the extreme low crop condition
report, both of which were issued
Monday morning by the government.
The crop condition report Of 56.3
was the lowest on record for this
time Of the year.
