Spring Suits
AT
WE place on sale today onr entire line of SPRING
SUITS at?
A REDUCTION OF 33 1-3
per cent. Our reason for this cut is simply to get the money
out of the Goods rather than carry them over until next
Spring. Then next Spring we want to show a brand new lot
of Goods. Don't want to show the last season patterns and
styles to our trade.
We know this is a big reduction, so when you read the
prices below, and note that the price is reduced away down,
don't be skeptical.,
The Suits are here. Some are sold down to a few Suits of
a kind?call them odd and onde if you wish. They are the
last few of some of our best sellers. Others are in a full line
of sizes almost?didn't sell as we thought they woul*' Nice
patterns, we thought, but for some reason didn't go.
$5.00 Spring Suits now $3.35.

hand. Leave one-third of what you wish to pay at home

THE HALL GIN
Is the Leader of them all in point of Speed,
Durability and Out-Tarn.
IT is, owing to the skillful construction of the breast, the best seed
cleaner on the market.
That part of the Gin covering the ends of the. brush is so formed that
lint cot ton cannot pack or clog at ends of brush. Many Gins catch fire from
friction at this point. The HALL does not.
"7e guarantee these Gins to give absolute satisfaction, and if you are in
doubt as to what Gin to buy ask any owner of a HALL or any one who has
ever seen one work, and they will tell you that it is the bent.
We have all sizes on hand ready for immediate delivery.

Effect of the Heat on the Cotton Crop.
The extreme hot weather which lias
prevailed, over the entire cotton bolt,
except central and southern Texas and
generally along the immediate Gulf
oast, was damaging to cotton, causing
premature opening and much shedding.
Howoverr with the exception of the
Atlantic States, where deterioration
seemed to have been general, there is
a slight improvement noted in the
crop, especially in Texas, where the
dry weather was quite favorable.
ricking has begun over tho entire
belt and the movement of tho now
crop will soon assumo large propor
tions, although as yet it is smaller than
lnstyear.
In North Carolina cotton is holding
out well only on stiff clay lands; all
other crops nave unquestionably de
teriorated very much; the rain of the
16th caused some improvement in
8laces; a largo number of correspon
ents state that cotton bolls are very
small and are opening prematurely,
and lint from snoh cotton cannot fail
to be short and inferior in quality:
fresh blossoms are not forming and
shedding continues. All reports agree
that the cotton crop, once the most
promising crop in the State, has been
materially cut short by the drought.
Picking has commenced, and the first
new bales have been marketed.
In South Carolina the weather con
ditions were, unfavorable to cotton,
causing continued shedding of leaves,
forms and even young bolls, and
checked all giowtb. Rust has de
creased. Premature opening is gen
feral, and picking has begun in all sec
tions. Sea island continues to blight,
is dwarfed, and is fruiting poorly. In
places late planted cotton continues to
look well, bnt the prospects for the
middle and top crops are poor.
In Georgia the outlook is gloomy tiu
less general, soakmgrainsreome imme
diately. Cotton indicates no improve
ment; it is opening rapidly and pre
maturely, rust a?A mhm?m** ecstbssc,
and th? prospecte are discouraging.
Picking has become general in quite a
number of counties.
In Florida cotton oh uplands opened
mo/o rapidly, and picking/becamo
fimto active. A numbor of "first
bales" were marketed. Complaints of
ruSt and shedding continue, and the
prospect is that the crop will be much
below the average.
In Alabama cotton is now fruiting
slowly, on account of the h o t, d ry weath
er, which is causing it,to open quite
rapidly (in some fields prematurely);
it is Shedding freely in m au y localities,
and there are Still a few reports of met;
picking i? progressing slowly, in south
ern and middle counties, and has not
yet started in the northern district.
In Mississippi cotton continues to im
Erove where rains have been suflicient,
ut over the larger portion of the
State it is shedding badly ami growth
lias been retardetl by dry weather. It
is beginning to open in the central aud
southern counties.
In Louisiana the general condition
of cotton has improved. The oldest is
beginning to open in many places and
some picking has been done, but the
crop is reported late; the stalk on high,
fresh land is very rank, but bears com
Iiarativcly little fruit; that ou low
and s is small, generally foul with
grass, weeds and . vines and does not
look promising; complaints of cotton
shedding, both leaves and squares, and
damage by boll worms and rust con
tinue.
In Tennessee cotton is generally re
ported in fair condition of develop
ment, but beginning to need moisture;
especially is it trne of upland crops,
which aro falling from the effects of
rust and are shedding fruit.
In Texas the weather has been very
favorable for cotton, except in locali
ties over the southern portion of the
State, where more dry weather is
i needed. The crop as a whole has im
proved slightly. It is about an aver
age or above in scattered localities,
but as a rule the crop is below an aver
age in most sections of the Stntc.
Shedding continues in some places and
! a few localities report that bolls aro
rotting from lack of dry weather. The
Mexican weavil and Doll worm con
tinue to do damage in places. Early
cotton is opening and some little pick
ing is reported from various parts of
the State. If dry and warm weather
continues picking will soon be general.
It appears that the crop is as well ad
vanced over north Texas as it is over
south Texas, which is duo to the fact
that cotton had to be planted over sev
eral times in the southern portion of
the State before stands .could be se
cured. Cotton is very Irregular and
ranges from poor to very good. Most
o| the crop is late, particularly over the
southern portion of thn ftt*ie.
In Arkansas cotton has suffered to a
great extent, the hot, dry weather
causing it to wilt and shed rapidly, t It
has commenced to open in some Iocali
In Oklahoma and Indian Territory
the crop .needs rain and has already
sustained serious damage from drought
and hot weather. Cotton is opening
rapidly and picking has begun. The
top crop will do light unless rains come
soon;?2he State, 87th inst,

growing so rapidly among the negroes

Joke Caus?e a Young Mother's Death
Mr?. Lillian Kby, No. U02 Sixty-ninth
street, died, the victim oi" a practical
joke.
The death was erroneously reported
among those duo to heat. It develops,
however, that a large' doll, recumbent,
with its mechanical eyes closed, and
its wnten cheeks, the counterfeit of
death, was handed to Mrs. Eby in place i
of her own baby. When she caught j
sight of its closed eyes she fell in a j
swoon, and the next day died as a
direct result of the fright.
In this way three families have been
thrown into mourning as the outcome
of what had been intended for a little
fun at the young wife's expense.
Mrs. Eby was but twenty-two years
old, and it was her lirst child. She and
her husband, John A. Eby, have been
living for three years in Englewood*
Three months ago a daughter was born
to them.
Mr. Eby's sister, Mrs. Ralph Perry,
lives at Thirty-ninth street and Indi
ana avenue, and Mrs. Eby took t he
baby there one afternoon early last !
week for a visit.
She was accompanied by her mother
I in-law and her sister, Mrs. Martin Eby.
Mrs. Perry lives on the second floor
below.
Tho women were together, hovering
over the baby in the parlor. Suddenly,
in a spirit of fnn, and being anxious to
show tho baby to her relative below,
Mrs. Perry took the child from the lap
of its mother and went down stairs.
Thero she found a little girl playing
with a large doll.
"I ?lies? we'll trade yeur dolly for ?
real little baby," said the child's moth
cr cellier *
Then it was suggested, "Just to see
what Mrs. Eby would say," that they
take the doll back to her in place of
the baby. A handkerchief was thrown
over its face and Mrs. Perry carried it
back up-sfairs. Mrs. Eby had grown
impatient at being separated from her
baby so long and ran across tho room
to take it in her arms. The, first view
she caught as she drew back the cloth
was of tho doll's closed eyes. She sank
to the floor with a moan.
"My, how yon frightened me," she
said, realizing it waa a joke. But she
was seized with convulsions' which
lasted half an hour.
. Dr. Thomas J. Jackson was called
and Mrs. Eby was sent to her home in
au ambulance.
Daring tho night. Mrs. Kby hail fro
queue convulsionsand her husband am
Toother sat up with her constantly
They called in another physician, Dr
Norton, but he was not alarmed abou
the cose. Thenextilay atnoon Mrs. Kb?
wos seized with a more violent convul
sion aud.died. In the various attack;
she had complained that she, was beiui
pursued through the various'plncei
with which sho was familiar by a dol
with closed eyes.
Mrs. Perry was distracted when sin
found the result of the joke had beei
so serious. She has continued to up
braid herself until at one time it wai
feared she might lose her reason.
The case has attracted attcntioi
from the physicians, who say it is at
extremely singular one. Dr. Nortoi
pronounced death duo to neuralgia o:
the heart. Mrs. Eby bad had fainting
spells at times before this, and it is be
1 loved there was some trouble with bei
