Cotton 'Advanced on a Bunch, of Bullish
■Reports.
(Prices on cotton 'were advanced during
the short session today upon a (bunch of
reports on the bullish side. First came
. Liverpool] with an advance of 4 points
and an ■estimate iby iNeill of 7,800,000 hales
for 'the '.American' crop. Cables also
stated that a large stoppage of mills was
not anticipated.
The advance in Liverpool 'Started the
American markets on ‘the up grade, which
continued upon predictions of cooler
weather iSunday night and .Monday in
the Carolinas, Kentucky, Georgia and
Alabama; decidedly cooler weather with
frost in west Tennessee', north Texas
and Arkansas, light frost in Mississippi
land .Louisiana and heavy 'frost in Okla-
homa and Iindian territory.
■New York futures opened quiet but
firm and 7 points- 'higher than yesterday’s
. close, were 20 points up at one time, and
finished very steady at an advnaoe of 17
points. 'New Orleans futures opened 8
ipoints higher than yesterday’s close,
gained 14 points imore and closed steady
'with a net gain of 20 points.
Af ter the close in New York the follow-
ing 'was received:
“A special 'bulletin says a decided fall
■of 20 to 22 degrees in past 24 hours in
upper Mississippi valley and at Duluth,
giving lowest temperature ever reported
tin this decade for the season. Killing

;This morning the report of the grand
trustees was read, that is, the reading of
the report was- concluded. Then .the con-
vention went into a hearing of the report
■of the committee on beneficiary. A large
number of claims are up for discussion,
but the discussion comes under the head
of executive business, and is not made
public.
This afternoon will be consumed in
further discussion of the reports of the
committee on beneficiary.
Yesterday afternoon the firemen and
the^tedies "who accompanied them to Gal-
veston went out to the jetties and inspected
that great work. They were duly 'im-
pressed and had a delightful time.
The question as to whe.-e the next bi-
ennial convention Will be held is warming
up. This morning a large number of little
red and white badges appeared on the
coats of the delegates reading “St.
Louis for Convention of 1898.” St. Louis
bobbed up as a dark horse, but already
has many friends. Omaha. Toronto,
Peoria, Nashville, Denver, San Antonio
and. Richmond were in the field, "with the
chances in favor of Peoria. What effect
the candidacy of St. Louis will have re-
mains to be seen.
This afternoon Delegate' J. M. Cline
of Cleveland, O., was busy handing out
copies -of United Temperance Tales, pub-
lished by 4V. W. Waters of Pittsburg,
Pa., and “My Paper,” published by tin?
Christian at Work publishing company of
New York. This literature was donated
by Mrs. Maier of Pennsylvania, president
of the railway department of the 'Wom-
an’s Christian temperance union of that
state. Mrs. Maier devotes' her time to the
interests of Pennsylvania railroad men,
especially the locomotive firemen, and is
much beloved for her good work by the
members of the Brotherhood of locomo-
tive firemen throughout the United
States.

THE iFlREMEN TODAY.
Mr. Delbs Did Not Appear .Before Them.
Reports of lOfficers.
Mr. Debs did not appear befcrc the con-
vention of th?' Brotherhood of locomotive
firemen today. If he is to. do so; if he is
to 'tender any defense of the charges, or
alleged charges which have been made
against him in that order, those who
would naturally know something about
it profess the most profound ignorance of
the matter. In fact Mr. De'bs is not loved
by the big guns among the firemen.. He
was once grand secretary and treasurer
of that ond'er. But that is another story
now.

An Unfinished Portrait.
The most important painting executed
by Velasquez, the celebrated Spanish paint-
er, toward the end of his career, and by
some considered his masterpiece, was the
large group at Madrid known as “The
Maids of Honor. ” Into this painting Ve-
lasquez introduced a portrait of himself
working at an easel.
King Philip was mightily interested in
the progress of this picture and visited the
painter daily during its production. At
length in the course of one of these visits
Velasquez laid down palette and brushes
and declared the painting finished.
“Notquite,” said the king. “One detail
is lacking, ’ ’ and taking up a brush he began
to work on the portrait of the painter.
With a few touches he sketched on his
breast the cross of the Order of Knighthood
of Santiago, one of the highest honors it
was in his power to bestow.—London

Won His Set,
A bewildered looking farmer stood in
the center of Haymarket square looking at
the trolley wire.
The electric car came along and slowed
up. They rang the bell and shouted at
him and ordered him to move. He still
kept looking at the wire and making in-
articulate sounds v ith his lips.
“Get off the earth, you Jersey calf!”
shouted the motorman.
The old man was fairly bumped by the
slow moving car before he moved.
Then he jumped and said: “I did it, by
thunder! Where’s my money?”
He looked around cautiously, and then
he said: “You seen a red faced feller with
a white mustache waxed? I want him. He
bet me §5 I couldn’t look at that ere wire
three minutes and count 200. I’ve done
it.”
“Did you put up the money?”
“Sure,” was the reply.
“Dingdoug!” went the bell.—Lewiston

Linguistic Atrocities.
The foreigner is so apt to incessantly
and mercilessly criticise America and
Americans that little heed is now usually
given to his opinions. However, not all
that he says is born of insularity or preju-
dice, and we might with profit lend an at-
tentive ear to some of his carpings. For
example, after having struggled with the
intricacies and absurdities of the English
grammar and mastered the singulars and
plurals of a few verbs, the foreigner, in
the hope of improving his English, listens
attentively to the conversation of the aver-
age American, to find even id polite cir-
cles that presumably educated people are
prone to say “he don’t,” “the man who
don’t,” “I ses,” and other like verbal in-
elegancies. When he asks for some ex-
planation of an American who is not
guilty of such linguistic atrocities, pray
what can the American say for his coun-
tryman? In some households where chil-
dren are carefully trained they are never
permitted to contract do not and does not
into don’t and doesn’t, and if this rule ob-
tained in all homes and schools the aver
age American would get along more har
moniously with his verbs, for, although
he may now say “he don’t,” it is incon-
ceivable that he would say ‘ ‘ he do not. ’ ’
If, also, school children in the lower
walks of life were forbidden to include
“ses” in their vocabulary they would bt
compelled to rearrange reports of dialogues
between themselves and others so as tv
wholly eliminate that now much over
worked phrase ‘ ■ ses I. ” If the foregoing
appears to be an w exaggerated view o.
American verbal shortcomings, a few days
of observation will convince any skeptic
that grammatical violation is one of tne
most common forms of inelegance among
us.—Vogue.

LOUIS MARX,
?"’ol3 Agent, Galveston, Tex.
Along the dark avenue of our palage in
Marakesh appears a chamberlain and his
attendants, and we know that we have
been sent for to attend the great dinner
party the grand vizier of Marocco has been
so busy for the last few days in preparing
for the entertainment of her majesty’s
minister. Our horses and mules are ready
saddled and the bodyguard of soldiers
drawn up in line to salute and follow,
while the native servants in all the glory
of their most gaudy clothes stand, lantern
in hand, .ready to escort us; then oil
through the dark streets, between the high
buttressed Avails that crop up on all sides
in the southern capital of Marocco; here
across a wide open space, deserted but for
the dogs or some late wayfarer, lantern in
hand, and here again through a labyrinth
of tortuous alley ways, from which the high
white houses, windowless and ghostlike,
rise on either hand.
At the doorway of the vizier’s house we
dismount, and passing through empty
hulls and wide passages, severe and austere
in their grim whiteness, we are ushered
into one of those small and beautiful gar-
dens which the Moors love so much and
know so well how to render attractive.
Between the dark cypress trees and the
trellis work that line the paths the fitful
light of moon and many lanterns falls,
while the shadowy figures of the members
of the sultan’s court pass and repass. A
dark man, with a small beard and mus-
tache, swathed in the finest of white wool
and silk garments, greets us. It is the
grand vizier.
A minute later and we are ensconced in
the reception room, leading from the gar-
den by an arcade of horseshoe arches, an
apartment rich in delicate inlaid tilework,
in arabesques and inscriptions in lacelike
plaster, and with a ceiling of gorgeous
painted wood, rising in arches and domes
of intricate carving and -delicate color.
Here a puzzling geometric design of gilded
beams, and there falling in stalactites
to end in drops of gold or disappear into
the projecting designs of tile or arabesque.
Now, at last, one cannot help thinking,
the land of the “Arabian Nights” is reach-
ed. In a domed recess ‘in the garden, lit
with fantastic lanterns, |are the musicians,
their voices and music at this distance ris-
ing and falling in weird, harmonious ca-
dences.
Dinner is announced’, and, led by the
vizier, we pass down theTdbgth of the gar-
den, among courtiers, soldiers and slaves,
and find ' ourselves ,enuring a second and
even more gorgeous, apartment than that
we had just left. Under the arcade of
arches that gives entruwo, to this room
stood our dinner—92 huge covered dishes
of earthenware filled wi^h*all the delicacies
that native cooks know so well how to pre-
pare. Within stands -the dining table, load-
ed with fruit and flewers and sweetmeats,
with candelabra and dessert dishes and set
in European fashion as strange an anomaly
in so oriental a scene as the furniture which
lies scattered about the room. At either
extremity of the large apartment stand
four posted bedsteads of French empire de-
sign, in ebony and walnut respectively,
and mirrors of every shape, form and de-
sign, from handsome construction in
“buhl” to the most flashy of modern gilt
hideosities. Clocks of many shapes and
designs tick against the walls, while the
floors of marble and tiles are strewn with
antique carpets of the country and modern
brussels of suicidal hues; the candelabra
on the table of inferior pewter, the forks
and spoons of handsome silver gilt—every-
where the same strange mixture of orien-
talism and civilization, of wealth and shod-
diness. Nor was the company less diverse,
for next to her majesty’s minister, in even-
ing dress and decorations, sat a tall figure
swathed in white wool and silk, while be-
hind a young officer in the mess kit of the
grenadiers stood a group of Moorish serv-
ants in scarlet and gold, black slaves and
soldiers in their crimson fezes.
The perplexity of the English butler
who was shown close upon . a hundred
dishes and told to serve dinner was a fea-
tiu’e in the entertainment, but fortunately
there is no routine in Moorish feasts, and
one eats promiscuously of spiced meats,
young pigeons richly stuffed, fowls roasted
with lemon peel, and “ kooskoosoo, ” the
national dish, to mention but a very few
of the many delicacies prepared. No wines
are ever given at these entertainments,
and one falls back upon one’s own supplies
brought for the purpose, for the Moors are
by religion, and generally by practice,
stanch teetotalers. Nor would those who
do imbibe in secret venture to do so at a
public feast in the presence alike of Euro-
pean s and their own compatriots.
We did not do justice, it must be con-
fessed, to even a small proportion of the
repast prepared, excellent though the
dishes were. Nor is one expected to do so,
for the number of cooked dishes is a sign
of honor and hospitality, and one tastes
rarely of those which one’s servants think
most according to their master’s gout, the
rest being carried away to the different
apartments in which the vizier is enter-
taining his fellow members of the minis-
try and the court in general, for only the
chancellor of the exchequer and two of the
undersecretaries of state dined with us at
table. A lull in the music iu the garden
without tells us that the musicians have
not been forgotten, but are feasting apace.
Then back once more to the reception
room, to seat ourselves upon a semicircle
of chairs arranged at equal distances, one
from the other, where we are sprinkled
with rose and orange' water from long
necked silver sprinklers and refreshed
with the heavy scent of incense. Trays of
green tea in minute cupsand tumblers
such as we would use for liqueur follow,
tray after tray, until th| toree cups apiece
prescribed by Moorish etiquette are drunk.
Then the musicians approach and seat
themselves under the arcade without, a
long row of men with inlaid guitars and
violins and strange instruments that have
no name in English. But the proximity
is too great, and Avhat w;as music at a dis-
tance becomes noise at close quarters. Be-
yond them is the garden, seen through the
arches, half lost in Shajly gloom, half ap-
parent in the bright moonlight and bright-
er flash of numbers of lanterns. Again
the white robed figures comb and go, pass-
ing and repassing each other, like ghosts
among the trees, and the members of the
court and their attendant soldiers and
slaves wander at will along the tiled paths.
A move is made, and, bidding our adieus
to our host, we mount once more, and sur-
rounded by soldiejs and servants bearing
lanterns seek mjbhome in the Maimounieh
jialace. —St. James Gazette.

Knight Companion,
How an Angry Passenger Was Bluffed by
a Cable Conductor.
“Have you seen the gypsies in Broad-
way?”
“Gypsies? Nonsense! Where could they
camp out?”
“In the cable slot.”
“What are you giving me?”
“The same bluff that I tackled.”
A couple of down town men who are in
the friendly relations that permit one to
talk unreservedly to another in public had
boarded an up bound cable car at the hall
and the tackler of the bluff introduced tb
subject while holding to a strap. Every
body within ten feet of him could hear
him when he continued:
“I happened to be at the corner of Pearl
and Whitehall streets a day or two ago,
waiting for a cable car bound up town, and
as I was in a bit of a hurry I motioned to
the gripman of the first car that cam©
along to slow down. To be sure of getting
aboard I stepped closo to the car and
about a foot north of the crossing, because,
you know, some of these fellows run past
the corner. The gripman didn’t slow down
a bit, but I had the impulse to jump
aboard, and I grabbed the side rail and
swung myself on to the step. I ought not
to have done that, because I wrenched my
right shoulder that way once and didn’t
get rid of the pain for nearly a year. When
I thought of that, I was hopping mad,
and I went for that conductor right away.
Of course it wasn’t the conductor’s fault,
but one feels somehow that the conductor
is the boss of the car and can haul the
gripman over the coals. When I took th©
number of the car and threatened to re-
port the gripman, the conductor said:
“ ‘He couldn’t stop there.’
“ ‘Why not?’ said I. ‘I was on the right
side of the street. ’
“ ‘I know that,’ said ha ‘Do. you know
what a gypsy is?’
“Of course I know what a gypsy is, but
it struck me that he meant something in
connection with the car or the cable, so I
answered, ‘No.’
“ ‘Well, a gypsy is a place where the
gripman changes cables,’ he explained,
‘and he has orders not to stop there.’
“What could I say? I realized that the
man couldn’t slow down while changing
cables, and I cooled down. The next timo
I was in that neighborhood I took pains to
notice where the cars change cables after
rounding the curve from State street to
Whitehall street, and I saw that it was a
block away from where I stood. Then it
struck me that the conductor had worked
a bluff.”
“According to that,” the other man re-
marked, “there’s a gypsy at almost every
corner. ”—New York Times.
