GENERAL REVIEW OF
COTTON SITUATION
Special to The Light.
New York OcL 14.—In their weekly
letter on the cotton situation Miller
& Co say:
“While admitting that weather con-
ditions during September have been-
unusually favorable we are not
among those who jump to the hasty
conclusion that a full yield is thereby
guaranteed. It must be remembered
that there is a great deal of late and
green cotton In the western half of the
-. which never would mature
should an early frost come. The pos-
sibility of an early frost will neces-
sarily make the market nervous and
erratic for some time until the danger
point is passed The season in the
past which bears the closest resem-
blance to the present year was that
of 1903. It is interesting to note
that the average of the condition re-
ported during the five months from
June to October is 74.6 this year
against 75.4 in 1903. It becomes ap-
parent. that the average condition this
year is 0.8 poorer while the acreage
Is 1900000 less; the official estimate
lor 1903 of land under cotton cultiva-
tion was 26.907000 acres against
26999000 this year. E- S. Peters late
vice president of the Southern Cotton
Growers’ association has advised the
farmers in Texas to sell their cotton
expressing the belief that the crop out-
look has Improved from 25 per cent to
35 per cent during September but It
remains to be seen whether this advice
will have any effect upon the market.”

POSTMASTER JOHNSON
RECEIVES INQUIRIES
MANY LETTERS FROM OUTSIDE
PER8O1M8 COME DAILY TO
POSTMASTER.
They Ask All Sorts of Impossible
Question*—Those In Regard to San
Antonio Relate to Boarding Houses
Lost Relatives and Health Proper-
ties—Th* Lst tor* Ar* Generally
Turned Over to Public Official*.
Not only are the postmaster* of the
smaller towns and villages throughout
the state frequently pressed into ser-
vice by outside people for the purpose
of giving news and furnishing data
but quit* frequently the postmasters
of the larger cities are also pressed
into a similar service. If there is a
crime committed associated press cor-
respondents are certain to ring up the
postmaster for details. If the town or
village la noted for Ita health re«tor-
Ing properties health seekers inva-
riably write the postmaster for cor-
rect information. There is no end In
fact to the number and variety of ques-
tions that are put to country postmast-
ers by people from outside communi-
ties.
In San Antonio Postmaster Johnson
comes in regularly for his dally quota
of thia kind of mail. According to one
of hie secretaries the mass of letters
of inquiry that sometimes comes in
U very voluminous. Every conceiv-
ab'.o letter of inquiry is sent here to
the worthy postmaster asking ques-
tions that are sometimes impossible
of being answered.
The principle questions that are put
to Postmaster Johnson relate largely
to boarding houses lost sons hus-
bands or wives and others bearing on
the matter of salubrious climate wa-
ter and general health. Most of these
letters are turned over to the United
States marshal the local chief of po-
lice or the city physician. Occasion-
ally he has an office clerk to make a
reply.
But the reception of these letters
and the consequent annoyance attend-
ing the answering of the same is a
matter of moment to all town village
and city postmasters and Postmaster
Johnson come* in for a very liberal
share.
AMERICA PAYS TRIBUTE
TO SIR HENRY IRVING
Associated Pres*.
New York OcL 14.—To the actors
managers and theater-going public of
New York the new* of the death of
Sir' Henry Irving came as an over-
whelming blow. Many declared last
night that the stage has lost its great-
est friend and the drama one of the
most marvelous its interpreters that
ever lived. Following are some of the
tributes paid to the memory of Sir
Henry;
Richard Mansfield: Irving was my
dear friend and it is Impossible at the
moment to say all that J feel. He and
I had one last supper together a sea-
son ago in the Plaza which Is now
no more. His farewell words to me
were: “One day we’ll have a little
cottage together somewhere." I can
onlv think now of those words of
Schiller: “What would we not give to
BEWARE OF BUBONIC PLAGUE.

John Drew; Iam Intensely shock-
ed to hear of the death of Sir Henry
Irving. My acquaintance with him
—made upon his first visit to this
country when I was a young man
in Daly's company—ripened into
friendship when I went to England to
play in “The Taming of the Shrew"
with that company a friendship I am
proud and happy to feel lasted to the
end. It would ill become me to speak
of him as an actor. I can only grieve
Avith the English-speaking world at
his unlooked for taking-off.
James K. Hackett: The death of
Sir Henry Irving came to me much
in the nature of a personal loss. I
doubt if any man of this generation
has done so much to bring about the
serious consideration of dramatic art
and its aims as he.
Daniel Frohman: Sir Henry Irv-
ing's death is most regrettable. He
simply worked himself to death. He
might have lived longer had he not
worked so hard. His success as an
actor was a triumph over certain phy-
sical limitations. His great intellec-
tual qualities established him as the
greatest Shakespearian Interpreter in
English.
Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Grey Fiske;
In common with all who love the stage
the news of Henry Irving's death is a
great shock. The loss to the people
of England and America who were
made equally proud as a commanding
international dramatic figure will be
keenly felt while to his profession it
will be Irreparable.
David Be la sco: In the death of Sir
Henry Irving our stage has lost its
greatest inspiration and there is no
one to take his place.
Mirs Viola Allen: He did more to
dignify and honor the actor's calling
than any other single man and no
greater artist or truer gentleman ever
essayed a role before the public.

PUTTING SCALPER
OUT OF BUSINESS
Every movement made by San An-
tonio railroad ticket scalpers to thwart
the work of railroad detection in this
city has met with failure and as a re-
sult every scalper ticket has peen lift-
ed and the person attempting to use
the second hand transportation has
been ejected from the train. The fight
has been waged so bitterly against the
scalper here that the broker is all but
down and out. Several more tickets
were lifted on the I. ft G. N. and Katy
last night and seevral more prospec-
tive passengers who expect a cheap
ride to St. Louis have been spotted
and when they present their tickets on
the train they will only have the
trouble for their pains. The railroads
and the business element now feel
confident that before the fair opens
here next month that the ticket
scalper will be a thing of the past.
