NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-tP5-The
cotton market opened steady at a
decline OF 8 points on old October
but generally 6 to 10 points higher
on buying stimulated by reports Of
rains in the eastern belt and the
tropical storm.
There was a good deal Of near
month liquidation incident TO cir
culatiOn OF notices estimated at
about IS. 900 bales.
After selling at 1920. New Qc-
tcber advanced t. 1897. and the
general market was steady with ac-
tive months showing net gains of
8 to III points at the end Of the
first hour.
The early advances were checked
by selling largely from the South,
and the market eased off to 1885
for December and 1888 for March,
or about 4 to 6 points net lower On
winter and spring positions. Dc
tober held relatively firm on cover
ing and trade buying against sales

midday prices back TO about yes

The premier remarked that a typical
collaboration of church and state is
shown in two particularly delicate fields,
that is, marriage and public instruc-
ton. Marriages celebrated in churches
now have the full juridical effect of
marriages celebrated by the civil rite
only.
1t might be said, he said, that sub

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

August 8, 1863.-The Baltimore g.
Ohio Railroad, which has probably suf-
fered more from Confederate raids than
any railroad in the country, Is once
more in working order, according to
information received here today. The
Confederates during their recent inva-
sion of Maryland and Pennsylvania
inflicted very serious damage on this
railroad, principally over a stretch 80
miles between Harpers Ferry and Cum
berland
They blew up IL bridges, tore down
or burned eight first-class water sta
tons and broke up or carried off most
of the valuable machinery and fixtures.
They took over 80 miles of the best
telegraph wire and cut down 1000 of
the supporting poles.
From its solid bed or stone ballast
they tore up, over seven miles of new
iron track, which had been in use only
five months, and $4,000 large oak cross
ties, on which the rails were laid. Every
tie was thrown into the fire. The ties
were utterly destroyed and the iron
was rendered unfit for use.
All the bridges have now been recon-
structed and the other damage has
been completely repaired with the best
material.
A copy of an important proclamation
issued by Maj. Gen. Meade at the head
quarters of the Army of the Potomac in
Virginia was received here today. 1t is
as follows:
"The numerous depredations COM
mitted by citizens, or Confederate SOL
dierS in disguise harbored or concealed
by citizens, along the Orange and
Alexandria Railroad and within our
lines, call for prompt and exemplary
punishment.
Under the instructions of the Gov
eminent, therefore, every citizen against
whom there Is sufficient evidence of his
having engagd in these practices, will
be arrested and confined for punish
ment or put beyond the lines.
THE people within 10 miles of the
railroad are notified that they will be
held responsible in their persons and
property for any injury done to the
trains, depotS or stations by citizens,
guerillaS or persons in disguise, and in
case Of such injury they will be i'm
pressed as laborers to repair all dam
ages.
IF these measures should not stop
such depredations, it will become the
unpleasant duty of the undersigned, in
the execution of his instructions, to di-
rect that the entire inhabitants of the
district or country along the railroad be
sent across the lines and their prop
erty taken for Government purposes"

Growth Through PLAY.

Try to have an understanding appre-
citation Of the need of play. Little chill
dren annoy their elders by their rough,
loud, seemingly meaningless antics.
What do you think you are doing?"
asks an irate adult of child who is
making trapeze of a fine chair I'm
playing" says the innocent youngster
and proceeds with his contortions.
II can't see any play in that. Can't
you go play with your toys? Where's
your bat and your ball? haven't seen
you use your new mechanic at all? The
trouble with you is you don't know how
to play. Run. Don't let me catch you
monkeying again."
Yet this monkeying is play; healthy
play; essential play. Before he gets to
the mechanic stage he has to go through
a more primal phase of growth. He
must use his arms and legs, his back
and his shoulders. He has inherited
instincts that are as old as the human
race and these must find expression in
tumbling, reaching, stretching, pulling,
pushing, and the rest of the violent
movements dear to childhood. He
must So give him a place where he
can follow the law Of his growth with
out damage to the household goods,
without damage to himself.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf. August o.
Willie Collier in Hollywood is talker
de luxe, but it was not always so. That
Is why the colony is chortling over the
revival of a tale anent his beginnings.
It seems that the then young Collier
was walk on in a show with George
Drew, George Drew and other notableS
"a likeable chan, with great ambition
and beloved by every one in the COM
pany.
There was a small part of butler for
which he yearned 1t carried only one
speech-"Professor Absalom." But that
had to be said with precise dignity and
ilnpressiveness. Young Collier got the
buffers role and was in haze OF de-
light.
Followed rehearsals-and difficulties.
Professor A-b-s-a-l-o-m" shouted
Collier, determined to make the most of
his brief opportunity.
"Rotten!" shouted back the stage d.
rector, making the most of his oppor-
tunity.
Dire distress on the part of the youth.
George Drew tried to help out;
You must speak the line" said he,
"not shout it. And you must make
them realize that it is a>professor who
Is entering the room"
Collier didn't tell Drew that George
Drew in the fullness of her heart had
already told him to stress the word
"Absalom," as the room would need to
know the name of the man entering.
Next rehearsal he squared himself and
said, "P-r-o-f-e-S-S-o-r AbSalom!"
"Soft-pedal that professor, will you?"
Woared the heartless S. D.
The opening night came. Collier,
Tacked with alternate chills and fever,
was pacing the back-stage, muttering
~Professor Absalom" in every infection
