Season.
Nsw York. May 13.?Today's cotton
market was rather less active than
eaterday's and somewhat Irregular.
Jut the tone was firm In the main and
moat positions made new high records
'or the season. The close was fever?
ish at a net advance of I to 11 points.
The market opened steady at an ad?
vance of 1 to 4 points In spite of dis?
appointing Liverpool futures and af?
ter some little hesitation advanced
sharply on a renewed demand from
>utslde sources, aggressive bull sup?
port aad covering by recent sellers for
* turn. Large spot sales reported In
the English market, continued com?
plaints of dry weather from the South
weet and reports of a better spot de?
mand In the South, seemed to be en?
couraging the expression of bullish
eentlmsnt. and while there wm very
heavy realising on a scale up. the
market soon showed a net advance of
? to 16 points on active months. At
this level offerings became still hoav
ior. Prices eased oft 10 or It points
from the top, but It was noted that
grading became quiet around the clos?
ing figures of last night and the mar?
ket soon steadied, owing to the replac?
ing of long lines which had been sold
out on the earlier bulge, a renewal of
support from some of *.he leading
bulls, and covering by scalping shorts.
Under the Impulse of this buying and
la response to further reports of an
Increased spot demand from various
points In the South, the market sold a
?hade over the high point of the
morning on some months, ruling at
one time about ? to 13 points net
higher. The close was only a saade
off from the top under realising.

One day last week while Mr. J. D.
Oalloway was making his rounds with
the rural mall, and while near Mr. A.
E Woodham's home, with a ditch on
one side of the road and a five foot
embankment on the other, he saw an
automobile coming from Darlington,
and having a horse that had never
gotten accustomed to the motor car*,
but will run away every time, he sign?
ed to the auto man to watt till he could
pass the perilous part of the road and
turn off. However, the driver of the
car paid no attention whatever to his
signal and came along without slack?
ing his speed one bit. The horse be?
gan jo get busy, and when the "ma?
chine" was about to pass him bolted
up the 3 foot embankment, throwing
Mr. Otlloway out. and then runnlg
a ahort distance In the field where he
st 'fM?ei). Mr. Galloway sustained a
\?tv bndh ?pralned ankle and ha*
been limping and suffering consider?
ably ev< r since, but Is glad that he did
s)Ot me?t a more serious and possibly
a fatal accident. The driver of the car
went rli ht on without enquiring what
Injuries Mr. Galloway or his horse and
buggy had received, but we hear that
the number of his machine Is known
and the case will be prosecuted to the

Andersonville. May 12.?The monu?
ment erected by the Georgia division
of the United Daughters of the Con?
federacy to the memory of Capt. Hen?
ry Wirt, in charge of the Federal
prisoners confined at Andersonville in
1864-16, was unveiled here today with
appropriate exercises. The town was
thronged with visitors, many of whom
arrived in special trains.
Scattered among the 3.000 or more
Southerners was a sprinkling of men
and women of the North, some of
whom have relatives at rest in the
national cemetery nearby, numbered
among the 13,000 warriors of the blue
who died in the Andersonville prison.
Those from beyond Mason and Dix
on's line looked on in silence while
t he tribute was paid to the memory
of the prison commander.
The stars of the Confederacy were
everywhere In evidence, and there
was an abundance of flowers, literal?
ly covering the base of the granite
rhaft which sends Its slender apex to
s height of sixty-five feet. As the
silken cords were drawn by Mrs. Per

The singing of "Maryland, My

of a salute by a military company of
Americus, Qa? and sounding of
"Taps," brought the exercises to a
close.

No elaborate wedding marks this
latest union of American dollars and
a foreign title. On the contrary, It
has seemed to be the desire of the
parties most concerned to avoid all
pebllclty in regard to the marriage
and the details of the wedding. This
extreme reticence Is said to be due, In
part at least, to the early opposition
or. the part of C. Oliver Iselin to his
(laughter's choice of a husband. The
well-known hanker, and yachtsman Is
understood to entertain a strong dis?
like for international matrimonial al?
liances, particularly where a member
of his own family is concerned. But
the determination of his wife and
daughter won the day, and after a
per.son.il interview with his prospec?
tive Bon-in-la\v in which the latter
made a most favorahle lmpressi ?n.
Mr. Iselin gave his consent for the
marriage to take place.
Miss Iselin and Count Colloredo
Manntftld met for the first time last
pear, when Mr. Iselin and his family
weie in Rome. They became engaged
to be married before Miss Iselin re
turnd to New York, ami the mar?
riage would have occurred earlier had
not Mr. Iselin been opposed to his
haughter's marriage to a foreigner.
Hy marrying Miss Iselin the count
allies himself with one of the first
families of New York. For many

Mobile's Plea for a Commission Form
of city Government.
Mobile is very anxious for a chang*
in her form of government, and is
printing some very Interesting matter
with regard to government by com?
mission, with the purpose of arousing
sentiment there in that method in the
stead of her present plan of gov?
ernment.
Among other things the Mobile
Register prints the story of Leaven
worth, Kans., and a most interesting
story it Is.
V seems that Leavenworth got in a
bad way. Its situation was not fa?
vorable to good government, having a
Soldiers' Home at one end of the
town and the army barracks at the
other. The town was typically West?
ern and breezy. Taxes went as high
as 6 per centum, and yet there was
not enough money left to pay for
street lighting or employ an adequate
force of police and firemen. Proper?
ty value decreased so greatly that the
revenues were much reduced; and
there was extravagance in govern?
ment in addition. Industry languish-1
ed, and trade was full. Citizens be?
gan selling out and moving away, not
being able to make a living there.
Affairs were at the lowest ebb when
the commercial association took up
the subject of commission form of
government, and went to work and
obtained that form; the club nomi?
nated five good men as commission?
ers, and the five were elected. "Im?
mediately," says Mr. Howard Wilson,
of Mobile, who was of old a resident
of Leavenworth, "confidence returned,
all that had been lost under the coun?
cil and aldermanlc system of gov?
ernment was regained in police and
fire department reorganizations, and
In other ways. During the first year
of the change considerable work was
done on the streets."
The commissioners have recently
been re-elected except the mayor, who
did not care to serve another term.
Business has revived, and the people
are full of hope for the future. Mr.
Wilson recites that a wealthy con?
tractor, who promised to invest $30,
000 in Leavenworth. if commission
government were installed, has made
good his promise. So, Instead of cap?
ital moving away, it has begun to
come back to Leavenworth.
The Register concludes:
Mr. Wilson expresses fear that Mo?
bile, if it should adopt the commts
?on form of government, would not
obtain the services of the right sort
of men; but, we ask, why this lack
of confidence? Mobile surely can d<
as well as Leavenworth in the choice
of public servants. It is the system
we have and not the men we select
that causes present dissatisfaction
Moreover, under the primary and
election-at-large, with every man fre<
to run who can get the endorsement
of 25 electors, political domination will
l>e set at naught, and the best men
will win. At any rate, we would be
willing to risk the danger, if any ex?
ists, for the sake of getting a system
that promises an Improvement in
government.

?"If-ever I need a cough medicine

Mrs. A. L. Alley of Beate, Me., "for,

The law forbids the sale of any
compound or mixture which will pro?

nearly every general store sells es?

larger percentage of alcohol Mian or?
dinary whiskey. The drug stores with
few exceptions are selling quantltes of
Jamaica ginger which contains about
"5 per cent, alcohol; when dlulted with
water makes a good substitute that

mother's face. A country merchant
U Id the writer a few days ago that it

the sale of these compounds legal, he
is thinking of going into the manufac?
