Report of Anti-Tuberculosis Sunday, Made Today, and Shows Enthusiasm. GOSPEL OF HEALTH GIVEN BY FORTY THOUSAND AMERICAN MINISTERS ON THAT DAY AND IERMONS WERE HEARD BY 1,000,000 PEOPLE. (American News Service) "New York, June 11. Over 4,000,000 church goers, nearly 40,000 sermons and preachers, and more than 1,230,000 pieces of literature are some of the totals given .in a preliminary., report issued today by the national association for the study and prevention of tuberculosis, of the results of the first national tuberculosis Sunday ever held on April 20. The report states that fully oneeighth of the 33,000,000 listed communicants of the churches of the United States heard the gospel of health on tuberculosis Sunday, and that the number of people who were reached by notices and sermons printed In the newspapers will aggregate 25,000,000. Hardly a paper in the- country failed to announce the occasion. Newspapers Help Cause. From clipping returns received at the national association's headquarters, it Is estimated that fully 20,000 newspapers, magazines, religious : and technical journals gave publicity to this national event For this assistance on the part of the press, the national association desires to express its thanks. Although the movement for tuberculosis Sunday was handicapped by a lack of time and .funds, the national association feela that , the campaign has been worth while. Many foreign countries observed the day also. Plans are now under way for & wider observance of the day In 1011. The active co-operation of every religious denomination,, besides that of the governors, mayors and public officials, as well as thatf other agencies will be sought. The promoters of this movement announce that they do not wish to interfere with the church calendar of any denomination. It la not planned to have a special tuberculosis Sunday as a regular church day. The plan is to have the subject of health and particularly tuberculosis, brought Ut in the churches for any service or part of a service and as nearly simultaneously In all puis of the country as possible.

TO USE . OWN PULLMANS. San Antonio, Tex-, June 11. According to a persistent rumor, said to emanate from reliable quarters, the National railways of Mexico will in the near future acquire and operate their own sleepers. Whether the change proposed is due to difficulties with the Pullman company cannot be said. The policy of the National lines in the ownership and management of which the Mexican government is the chief factor Is thorough Mexicanization of every department and the operation of their own sleepers may be merely an outgrowth of this. On the Vera Cruz-Mexico system, sleepers owned by the railroad company have been in operation for some time. MAN AND THE RAT. The Long Battle Between Thee Two Conquering Forces. The dominion of mau over the beasts of the field does not yet include the rodents. Aurochs, cave bear and mammoth we put down with stone headed arrows. We have wiped out the buffalo.' The Hon and the elephant will soon be gone. But still the rabbit of Australia cost the colonies millions a year. Traps, ferrets and poison still fall to make headway against the rats, mice and gophers of the United States. While our animal enemies have become smaller In size, tbey have grown more numerous. It Is as if nature after trying vainly to chastise her Insurgent bob with a catapult bad gone after him with a shotgun. The fact Is that of all warm blooded creatures there are just two that are really dominant, successful. Increasing In numbers and range and able to maintain themselves anywhere In the world against all rivals. These two are man and the rats. The genus homo and genus mus go everywhere and eat everything. Tbey are the two creatures that dwell ' in houses and travel in ships. Each drives Its other rivals to the wall, but neither except locally and for brief periods has ever come near to exterminating the other. Civilized man has fought the common rat for 200 years, and the battle Is still drawn. McClure's Magazine. A KING'S DOWNFALL Louis Philippe'e Lack of Nerve When . '.the Crisis Came. Baroness Bonde wrote in her diary the following account of the abdication of Louis Philippe of France on the day of that remarkable occurrence: "An ald-de-camp of the minister of war who was in the king's cabinet when be abdicated gave me a detailed account of this most signal piece of cowardice. He had reviewed the troops In the carrousel on horseback, highly, rouged, when a cry was raised, 'Void les Faubourgs!' No one bad any orders; no one gave any. The mob rushed forward, shouting, 'Vive la garde nationales vlvent les troupes!' and shook hands with the outposts. The kjng retreated precipitately with bis sons, and (F sublieutenant of the national guard, rushed into the palace asking to see him. He was admitted and In the greatest agitation said. 'Your majesty must abdicate. 'Very well,' says the king. ln favor of my grandson.' 'No. unconditionally, says the young and self elected mouthpiece of public opinion. v "Would you believe it? Of all who were congregated round the royal person Piscatory alone said: 'Go down and head your troops. Fight for your crown and your dynasty.' He was overruled, and they all marched out of the palace except the Duchesse d'Orleans, her children and the Due de Nemours." Boxing the Compass. Boys who live in seaport towns are sometimes asked to "box the compass." If tbey can do It quickly and accurately tbey are fine sailors and may grow up to be the captain of a four master. If they miss a point or can only do It slowly tbey are landlubbers and will never see blue water. To box the compass means to name all the points in order Just as fast as you can speak.

There Is abundant evidence that the origin of gunpowder and artillery goes far back in the dim ages of the past The Hindoo code, compiled long before the Christian era, prohibited the making of war with cannon and guns or any kind of firearms. Quintus Curtius Informs us that Alexander the Great met with fire weapons in Asia, and Pbilostratus says that Alexander's conquests were arrested by the use of gunpowder.

DEPOSED SULTAN MAU OF MYSTERY

Abdul, Hamid Has Changed no Characteristics Since Losing His Throne. JOURNALIST STUDIES HIM. A CLEVER SKETCH OF THE OUSTED MONARCH HAS BEEN WRITTEN BY FRANCIS M'CULLAGH, A CORRESPONDENT. ; (American News Serrlce) London, June 11. During his thirty years reign as the omnipotent master of 25,000,000 men 'Abdul Hamid, exsultan of Turkey, was a riddle, perplexing and impenetrable, to,,, the whole world. . Now? in the -days of his exile in Salonica, his attitude and character remain unaltered enigmatic as ever. At one moment he is raised to the heights of bliss, because the fear of assassination is no longer ever present; at the next he is cast into the depts of despair with the recollection that his autocracy and absolutism have vanished from him. Mr. Francis McCulIagh, the war correspondent who was present in Constantinople through the revolution, has written a clever analytical study of Abdul Hamid's overthrow, and the events that led up to it There is an arresting, though gloomy picture of the neurotic exile's life in his prisonpalace,' the Villa Allatini. He cannot accustom himself to the fact that he has ceased to reign, and from time to time give incoherent orders, asking for things which it is impossible to get for him. N Always the prey of the demon of melancholy, his. moodiness has Increased a hundred fold since he has lost the horde of musicians, jugglers and moosahibs, or amusement men whose duty it was at Yildiz kiosk to charm away terrifying delusions. Some times, after having sat for hours wrapped in gloomy meditation, he strikes the table with his fist, and cries "Malediction! Malediction!" Does Not Sleep Well. He does not know the meaning of refreshing slumber. Whenever he is obliged to close his eyes through sheer exhaustion, he is fully dressed, and his couch is a long chair. Suddenly he will start .up and rush, around and around in his chamber as if pursued by phantoms. Often he spends the livelong night before an open window gazing in the direction of Constantinople. Thirty members of his harem are sharing his exile with him. These he geets to tell his fortune by cards, but before the operation is finished he jumps to his feet and impatiently sweeps . the cards away, crying "Futility! Futility!" ' After Abdul Hamid's removal from Yildiz kiosk, some amazing discoveries were made in the palace. There were rooms full of clocks timepieces elaborately enamelled or inlaid with mother-of-pearl, side by side with one and eleven penny alarm clocks of German origin. In almost every room were patent medicines and cupboards were were filled withhair restorers, complexion restorers, and quack remedies guaranteed to rejuvenate the most senile. Gold and silver as well as gems of fabulous worth, were found in secret hiding places, or lying loosely in open drawers and upon sofas. Under a heap of rags was found the beautiful seael, set in brilliants, of the former sultan, Abdul Aziz; and alongside of it was another seal worth sixpence. 1 The Young Turk leaders who made these discoveries one day heard many voices proceeding from a locked apart ment and their astonishment was transformed into alarm when they dis tinguished the words, "Padishahim tchok! Yasha" ("Long live the Sultan") The cry came not" from reactionaries, but from hundreds of hungry caged parrots which had been taught this phrase. Abdul Hamid was excessively fond of parrots. That is all that can be said of him for good. Spiteful. Patience I hear you're engaged to be married. Patrice Where In the world did you hear that? . , "My mate told roe." "How did she hear ItT .

London Will Benefit From the Manufacturer of a Patent Medicine Will Show His Appreciation House for the People.

(Special Cable from the International K'ewi Service.) London, June 11. Thanks to the popularity and enormous sales of a certain kind of liver pill the people of London are to receive a musical education and this city is to possess the largest and finest opera house in the world, for Mr. Thomas Beecham, son of the famous pill manufacturer has decided to spend $2,500,000 of his father's money in building an opera house far superior in every way to the old Covent Garden. "Opera is not popular in London," said Mr. Beecham to me today, "it is su ported because it is a social function, and without that help would be as unprofitable as concert giving. I want to make the people realize that if they go to hear opera they will get something first class, something that will satisfy them, something that is worth the enormous expense attached to its presntation. "The short season I. promoted at Covent Garden last winter gave me a personal experience of what it costs to present grand opera. At His Majesty's we have an orAestra of 'sixtyfive instrumentalists, a chorus of sixty, and numerous first, class principals. The only way to conduct a season of opera is to do it well, but I do not anticipate being able to keep my losses on this summer season much under $50,000. and they might easily run double that amount. "All the same I think our public can be encouraged to support it, just as the public on the continent is. To that end I want, and am prepared to build an opera house in London. I am only waiting until I can find a site in a position at a fair valuation. "This is not merely a commercial scheme. The making of money is not the object. To do everything in the best possible manner for the encouragement of opera, to attract the great public to hear the works of the greatest masters will be its purpose, and if that can be done we are prepared to carry it on even if there should be some pecuiary losses attached to the working of it." Superstitious beliefs in charms to ward off diseases common enough in some rural districts are still to be met with, it seems around London. Dr. E. Lowrv. reporting on the medical in spection of children attending the ele mentary schools in Wimbleton, remarks that it is very common to find concealed a string of beads concealed around the neck, usually consisting of pale blue or coral. These are not removed day or night, and are sometimes stated to keep away Infection, colds, and especially "quinsey." One person attributed measles to a child having removed the beads. The custom appears to be a prehistoric one, and in some parts of England practically every baby brought to hospital is wearing such beads. The fact that older children do not wear them points to a spirit of modernism or scepticism developing in them with age. Many curious domestic remedies are also seen, adds Dr. Lowry, of which two may be mentioned. A child liable to colds is usually kept plastered over the chest with melted tallow, and many have to be examined in this condition at school. As a rule, only the front of the chest is so treated, owing to the popular idea that the lungs are all in front. Chronic ear disease is sometimes treated by the insertion in the affected ear of chewing tobacco in the form of a plug. George Glover Flowers had a terrifying experience while fishing from an anchored boat oft Brighton, being run down by a passengr steamer and carried along under the ship. - He was about a mile and a quarter off shore when he dropped anchor and got his line out. He was quietly filling his pipe when he saw the passenger steamer Glen Rosa steaming dead on to him at about 10 miles an hour. He shouted, but apparently they did not notice, for the next moment the stem of the steamer cut right into the small boat, smashing it to pieces. Mr. Flowers was drawn under the water and rolled right along the ves sels keep, the paint remaining on his See onr Oxford Traveling Bag witti drop lock; 14 to 17 iach, at . . . $5.00

clothes. He came up feet first under the paddle wheel which struck him on the right leg and knocked him under again. ' When he came up finally under the stern, a life buoy was thrown to him, and he was taken aboard by a small boat and eventually sent ashore. It has not hitherto transpired. I believe, that the late King Edward once savd the life of a Siberian exile. Count Jan Zamoysky, one of the foremost Polish nobles reveals the fact in a communication to the Polish paper, "Czas." His cousin. Count Stan i las Zamoysky, had been arrested in 1S03, the year of the last Polish Insurrection, for an attempt on the life of the Russian general. Count Berg, and had been deported to Siberia. Three years later the then Prince of Wales visited Russia on the occasion of the wedding of the heir to the throne subsequently Czar Alexander III) with

Report Made On the Cotton Crop Crop Last Year Smallest Since 1903, But Valued 19.2 Percent More Than Crop of the Previous Year.

American News Service) Washington, June 11. Although the cotton crop of the United States in 1900 was the smallest produced since 11XX5, its value was 19.2 per cent more than that of 1908 and measured by its yarn producing quality and by the financial results to the growers, it was the most valuable ever produced. This statement is taken from the proof sheets of the United States census bureau's bulletin 107 on the production of cotton in 1909, prepared by William ML Stuart, chief statistician for manufactures, assisted by special Agent Daniel C. Roper. The bulletin will isuue from the government printing office in a short time. The estimated value of the 1909 crop is given by the bulletin as $812,089,833, as compared with $1,081, 230,956 for 1908; $700,950,011 for 1907; $721,647,237 for 1900; and $632,298,332 for 1903. The amount of difference between the 1909 and 190S values is therefore $130,858,877," an increase of 19.2 per cent as stated. -The figures aS finally compiled for the crop of 1909, including linters and counting round as half bales, show 10,386,209 running bales, amounted to 10,315,3S2 bales, which is 3.271,924 bales, or 24.1 per cent less than the total for 1908. It is interesting to note the bulletin states that the value of the cotton crop of last year was about one-half

Princess Dagmar the present Dowager Empress), and was at tne station in St. Petersburg by the Czar, Alexander II, himself. While proceeding. While proceeding to the winter palace the czar expressed his great regret at the loss of the horses which he had intended to present to his guest. "I wish, he added, "to do something for you by way of compensation." Thereupon, without hesitation, the Prince of Wales said: "I ask you to pardon Count Zamoysky." Immediate ly on arrival at the palace the czar tel egraphed to the governor of Eastern Siberia to send the deportee to War saw. The latter arrived in his native city on Christmas day, and only then was informed that he was free. Count Jan Zamoysky adds that he heard this story .from the Hps of the Princess Christian, and that the king who was present, added (in French "When I got your cousin back from Siberia. I told them all in Pt. Petersburg that they had no sense." that of the corn crop in the country in 1909, as estimated by the department of agriculture; was nearly $1.000,uoo,. OOO more than that of the wheat crop; and was twice the value of the oat crop. The bulletin refers to a leading engineering and mining journal's statement that the world's production of gold in 1909, amounting in value to about $4SO.X,000, was the greatest ever recorded; and it points out that the 'sum stated is but slightly more than one-half the value of the American cotton crop last year. The average annual production of cotton in the United States for the last five years was 11,935,041 bales, or 1,620,259 bales more than the crop of 1909. The value of the crops of the five-year period ending with 1909 was $3,548,822,309, while the value for the five years period ending with 1899 was $1,529,502 ,325. The cotton growers were in a wretched state financially, the report asserts, when the crop of 1898 was sold at an average price of 4.9 cents per pound. Their independence really began with the price of 12.2 cents per pound in 1903. , During the last five years the price of lint cotton averaged about 11 cents per pound, or about $55 a bale, and the value of the cotton seed increased from $13.76 per ton in 1900 to $27.73 per ton in 19O0. The value of a 50O pound bale ot cotton including the value of the seed fwVfi Cold ,(Q)CD

was $84.31 in 190O, compared with 37 in 1904, and $30l22 in 1S98. ' To the producer of a crop of 20 balsa this means that, whereas he realized $004 in 1898, he received $1,686 la 1908, which increase, notwithstanding; a greater cost of production at: the present time measures the difference between a mere existence and independent living. The bulletin notes that according to the bureau of statistics of the depart meat of agriculture, the area planted : to cotton in li09 was 32,292,000 acres, of which 1,334.000 acres, or 4.2 per cent were abandoned, leaving 30,938,000 acres as the area from which the crop was harvest etd. There was a reduction of 4.6 per cent in the area harvested and of 24.1 per cent in the production in 1909, The average production per acre In 1909 was 154.6 pounds compared witih 195.3 pounds in 190S. Attention is called to the fact that the acreage harvested between 1S79 and 1 Increased 113.7 per cent and , the production 97.8 per cent. However

the crop of 19t8, amounting to about 13,432.131 running bales , represents more nearly the , normal production, and it shows an increase of 100.6 per cent over the crop of 1879. i The states sustaining the greatest loss in production in 1909, compared with the results of 1908, in the order of their relative loss, are: Louisiana, 45.6 per cent; Mississippi, 34.3 per cent Texas, 33.4 per cent: Arkansas. StMT per cent; Tennessee, 27.8 per cent; Alabama, 23.6 per cent; and Oklahoma, 19.9 per cent. i The result In Louisiana Is said to be little short of disastrous as during the last few years this state has sustained great loss, reporting in 1908. 70.1 per cent of the quantity returned in 1907, while its production in 1900 wai only about One-fourth that of 1906.
