Green Cos. s report on cotton futures sa vs:
“There was not much animation, but, consider
ing the short session, business was fair, and the
hull element still managing to retain the ad
vantage. Early m the day it seemed a little
difficult fo sustain matters, but subsequently
two or three operators came in with sharp
trading and put August some 12 points above
last evening, with the clo.-e: showing pretty
steady ou old crop. Very little ut-vv investment
from the local line of operators wits attracted,
and no essential change on the new crop po
sition.”

A YOUNG FRENCH SWELL.
Maurice Bernhardt, the Son of the
Great French Actress.
New York, Juno 25. —A young man has
just sailed for Europe who occupies a rather
strange position in the world. It is Maurice
Jiernhardt, son of Mile. Bernhardt, the
FroncU actress. It was rathor curious to
notice the deportment of this young follow,
not at all abashed by the misfortune of hav
ing been born out of wisllook. Ho is 21 or
22 years of age. about 6 feet in height, well
built, dark oomploxioued, with deep set
black eyes and typical French features; ho
combed his hair down over the temples, was
perpetually iu full evening dress, the broad
shirt front adorned or rather disfigured with
large turtle shell studs. He spends most of
his time in Paris, but was in New York for
some time during the theatrical son
sou. He was a nightly attendant at the
theatres, particularly favoring comic
opera, mid usually had a box from which
he would stare and leer at the ballet girls so
offensively that on several occasions tbo
managers seriously discussed the advisability
of throwing him out of the window, and
only refrained for his mother's sake. Ha
would not only ogle the ballet, girls, hut he
would talk so loudly as to disturb the
audience, and there is a growing impatience
with the well-dressed boors, male and
female, who chatter in private boxes or
elsewhere and disturb those who go to the
opera or theatre to see and hear and not to
make a vulgar display of themselves by
loud and senseless talk. M. Bernhardt
would fit well in a French novel. When not
at the theatre or at the Hoffman House,
leaning against one of the gilded pillars
pufflug cigarettes with the air of a blase
man of the world and talking
small gossip with the cronies of
the same ilk, he was at the
Home Club, on Tenty-fourth ssreet. When
he slept was a mystery. The Home Club is
a French organization, composed of some of
the masculine loaders of French society in
New Y'ork. It is supposed to be what, is
commonly known as "high-toned." Here
the young man dined and also passed the
later hours of the evening and the early
hours of the morning in playing baccarat,
at which ho is said to have been badly
svorsted. Ho was surrounded by sparks of
his own nationality, who know he had
plenty of money and who regarded him
simply ns a young goose to be plucked,
Members of the Consolidated Exchange
showed him especial attention and.brokers
from the other boards seemed to be seen
with him. It was curious to mark the bear
ing of this unfortunate offspring of law
morality. His manners were arrogant,
overbearing, insolent. “I am the son of
Sarah Bernhardt” was declaimed in the loud
manners of a born cad. Yet, surprising as
it may seem, cultured girls or wealthy
families, well known in society, were silly
enough to covertly encourage ids notice.
Stage struck maidens of Murray Hill seek
ing the notice of a cynical French coxcomb.
Faugh. His birth Is something for which
ho is not to blame, but retiring and gentle
manly manners would be peculiar! y appro-,
priate in such a ease. Now Y'ork is full of
such odorous specimens of fast life, and they
seem popular with a certain class of girls
who are fascinated by the fumes from a
lower world. New Y'ork seems to become
more I'arisian every year. Contrast the
young person I have mentioned with an
other similarly unfortunate, but now dead,
who once served Maine ns a Congressman
and United Btates Senator, and was for a
time Secretary of the Treasury in Mr.
Lincoln’s Cabinet. William Pitt Fessenden
was a lofty spirit, a rare enffiodiment of
courage, sensibility and intelligence, pure as
a dove, an unspotted statesman of the high
est order, beloved universally, and almost
canonized in death.

AMERICAN BOOKMAKERS.
Why They Give Such Short Odds- Sub
urban Day at Sheepahead Bay.
Nkw Y'ork, June 25. —There was a great
howl over the Suburban this year. The
biggest crowd that ever gathered on an
American race course was on band to see
the famous contest, and as the day was
perfect and the course one of the most
beautiful in the country, the outlook at
2 o’clock was great. Everybody was there.
Millionaires, stock brokers, merchants, husi.
ness men,lawyers, isiliticians, bunco stecrers
poliscemen, gamblers, sports,clergymen and
clubmen were represented amply. Of women
there were several thousand present; they
rouged from perfectly uttirea and super
cilious society women, who leaned back
negligently in their boxes and surveyed the
crowd through their glasses with supreme
disdain, all the way down to overdressed
and noisy negresses, who wore red wigs and
powdered their cheeks. To give a list of the
prominent men and women present would
be simply to reproduce the surface element
of New York life. The day began with
hilarity, oliaff and enthusisiasm, hut it
elided dismally and without cheer. Race
after race was won by horses nobody had
selected as winners, and when the Huburban
began half the crowd was in the dumps.
There were twenty-throe starters for the
great race, but owing to the American
system qf bookmaking and the greediness of
the gamblers, there was no chance to win.
According to the English system the odds
on the winner, Bums, would have been fifty
to one; possibly more. On the Sheepsboad
Bay track the odds wore twelve to one.
Such horses ns Rupert, Hidalgo, Quito. Ben
Ali, and so on were sold at t hreo and fourto
one. In fact, the odds were so small that it
would have taken a man of genius to win
on the day even if he had had the liest ti)w
in the world. When the great race was at
leugth started and the two fa verities were
left at the post, while a dark horse wo mu
with ease, the excitement in the crowd waP
something extraordinary. It was hard to
convince men who had backed Ben Ali and
Quito that they could have lieeii left at the
post, with such iockeys as Mol-aughlin and
Garrison up unices some crooked work was
afoot, and the howls could be heard from
one end of the field to the other.
“I would rather play faro 1,000 times,"one
well-k.iown horse owner said to a group of
friends on the grand stand. "There are sixty
bookmakers under the shed here, and it
costs them SIBO a piece for actuul expenses
at the least estimate. They begin the day,
therefore, with an output of $1.5.000; their
extra expenses for fares, mnipherualia and
assistant* would proHW '*Tx's*t the whole
sum up to 125.000. This money has got to
come out of the pockets of the betters abso
lutely before any risks are taken or profits
made. By the time the $2.5,000 is assured
the bookmakers are not inclined to take
heavy risks. The percentage is so great
that the outside investor ha* ali the odds
against him."
But the outsider keeps right at it. In
fart, lie finds it difficult to get enough.
Betting is now legal and racing is enjoying
a boom that has never been duplicated here.

What u Tremendous Piece of Luck.
From the St. Raul Fioneer Press.
In area 1 estate office the other day I heard a
genlleinun relating the experience of an East
ern friend of his, who. many yearn ago, for a
Ihll debt of $20,1K) was compelled to accept
Western land of the estimated value of $1*5.001).
He paid constantly increasing taxes upnti
the land for a number of years without going
to see it. One day his agent telegraphed him
usklngwhat hr would take for the land, which
had Anally come to be far within the limits
of Chicago. The owner figured than taxes
and interest, the land hod cjost him $30,000,
and more iu a joke titan anything else, not
dreaming that the offer would Ist accepted,
wrote a telegram saylryf he would take $50,000
(ash for the prof.-rty. He sent the message by
the office Icy to the telegraph office, where the
clerk Insisted that the sum lie sp iled out in the
m usage. Th ‘ offiee h.iy rewrote It, and, by a
mistake, wrote $500,000 Instead of $50,000. In
an hour back came the reply, “Offer of half a
million dollars accepted, .dace heed and come
on and get certified etytek." The man mode tho
office boy a handsome present tor hi* clerical
error, and gave his old time debtor $25,000 with
which to re-establish himself In business.

MILLINERY.
NEWloi Jil> ISRYAT
KROUSKOFF'S
Mammoth Millinery House.
We are now offering immense lines of New Straw Hats,
Ribbons, Feathers, etc., whieh are now being shipped daily
by our New York buyer, and our Mr. Krouskoff, who is now
North to assist in the selection of the Choicest Novelties in
the Millinery Line. It is astonishing but a fact, that we sell
fine Millinery cheaper than any retail store in New York. How
can we do it? Cannot tell. This is our secret and our suc
cess. Perhaps on account of large clearing out purchases or
perhaps from direct shipments from London or Paris —but no
matter so long as the ladies have all the advantages in stock
and prices.
We are now ready, for business, and our previous large
stock will be increased, and we are now offering full lines of
fine Milans in White and Colors, for Ladies, Misses and
Children in an endless variety of shapes.
RIBBONS, RIBBONS, new novelties added and our regu
lar full line entirely filled out.
We knock bottom out in the price of Straw Goods.
We continue the sale of our Ribbons at same prices as
heretofore, although the prices have much advanced.
We also continue to retail on our first floor at wholesale
prices.
