EGYPT HAS ONLY ONE
COTTON MILL RUNNING
Industry on Decline in
Country.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 22.
(Special)—Special Agent W. A.
Graham Clark, in a recent report, de
scribes the present unprogressive
state of Egyptian cotton milling. He
says:
Cotton manufacturing is not a very
promising industry in Egypt. There
is only one cotton mill in the coun
try, which in this respect is behind
all other cotton raising countries,
where the tendency is for the cotton
mills to go to the cotton fields. The
sole representative in Egypt of the
world’s greatest industry is the An
glo-Egyptian Spinning and Weaving
company (limited) which has 20,000
spindles and 500 looms, and is locat
ed at Alexandria.
Until the first of this year there
were two cotton mills in Egypt, but
the other one, the Egyptian Cotton
Mills (limited) of Cairo, has ceased
operations, and the machinery has
been sold and will be shipped to
Mersine, in Asia Minor, where it will
be run on course counts, using local
cotton.
One adverse factor is that the Eng
lish government, while very friendly
to cotton raising in her possessions
and countries where her influence is
paramount, is unfriendly to cotton
manufacturing in those lands.
The insufficiency of efficient help
available, however, has probably had
the largest effect in retarding tlie in
dustry, together with the fact that
the first cost of the machinery and
supplies are much higher than in
England.

AUTOMOBILE SHOW
ON FOR TWO WEEKS
NEW YORK, October 24.—(Special)
—Several months of hard work on the
part of automobile dealers and manu
facturers in all parts of the United
States has resulted in the gathering
of a great show which during the next
six days will undergo the test of the
public’s critical gaze in the Grand
Central Palace.
It is the eighth annual exhibition
of the Automobile Club of America
and the first of the big automobile
shows of 1907. At 2 o’clock Thurs
day afternoon the coverings are to be
pulled aside, lights will be flashed
on, and the doors thrown open to the
members of the club for a private in
spection. At night the exhibitions
will be opened to the general public
and will remain open until next
Thursday night. Two days after its
close the big show will open in Madi
son Square Garden, thus giving New-
Yorkers practically a two weeks ex
hibition.
Out of Sight.
“Out of sight, out of mind,” is an
old saying which applies with spec
ial force to a sore, burn or wound
that's been treated with Bucklen’s
Arnica Salve. It's out of sight, out of
mind and out of existence. Piles too
and chilblains disappear under its
healing influences. Guaranteed by

WAR ON PERSONAL
INJURY LAKIRS
Whole families as Profes
sional Invalids.
CHICAGO. ILL., Oct. 22.—(Special)
—Professional personal injury fakirs,
colonies of whom have taken more
than $1,000„000 fraudulently from
the city in four years, are to be driv
en from Chicago, and, if possible, to
the penitentiary, by a triple alliance
in which the city administration is
the principal factor.
Chicago practically has completed
an arrangement with the traction
companies and the steam railroads
entering the city to carry on an of
fensive and defensive campaign
against these people.
This action was decided on yester
day after it was discovered that
there were whole families which, us
ing various names, were suing the
fcity on fake charges. Besides this it
was learned that the professional
“invalids,” assisted by lawyers of a
like stripe, are living in colonies,
where they assist each other in rob
bing the city in a systematic man
ner.
Investigation of some of these
cases disclosed the fact that a disin
terested witness could not be found
by the city because in an entire
neighborhood not a single adult could
be found who did not have a suit
against the city.
JUDGE PARKER GOT
FULL INFORMATION
At the recent meeting of the Bar
Association at Portland, Maine, Judge
Alton B. Parker was talking on the
way to the clambake to a lawyer who
hailed from Alexandria, Va., says the
N. Y. Sun.
“What will be the effect,” inquired
Judge Parker, in a humorous way,
“if they pass a law in the South elim
inating titles from your average pro
minent citizens. I have heard
that such a possibility is contempla
ted in some of the Southern states.”
“Such a thing would be a calamity”
replied the Alexandrian. “I know that
people in the North have had a good
deal of fun with our part of the coun
try for its liberality in conferring ti
tles.
“But the custom has it advantage.
Not all public men have the remarka
ble faculty possessed by the late Jas.
G. Blaine of being able to recall very
quickly the names of every one whom
he had previously met maybe only
once.
“But in the South the politician
anxious to leave the impression that
he has not forgotten has only to say
when he suddenly meets a constitu
net, “How are you, Colonel? That
breaks the ice and the constituent
glows all over.”
“But if the constituent should be
a general or a judge?” said Judge
Parker.
“That would make no difference,”
interrupted the Alexandrian. “The
constitutent would at once reflect that
he had been a colonel before he be
came a general, and as there were
so many promotions in the South he
would be charitable to the politician
by thinking that the latter could not
have possibly have remembered all.
Besides, it is always safe to address
a Southern man as colonel.”
Suppose,” said Judge Parker In
his characteristic way, “the constitu
had been only on the bench.”
“In that case,” replied the Alexan
drian, in his gracious Virginia way,
“it would be the duty of the constitu
ent to correct the error. That is one
of the prerogatives of a judge.”
“Suppose,” continued Judge Par
ker, trying to corner his brother,
“that the constituent had retired from
the bench?”
“We never retire a judge,” was the
quick response of the Virginian, “not
even to make him a Presidential can
didate.”
Fortunately for Judge Parker, the
steamer at that moment touched the
clambake reservation, and the late
Democratic Presidential candidate
who had retired himself to lead a
forlorn hope said the clams were
on him.
THE VOICES
By Charles Hanson Towne, in the
November Metropolitan Magazine.
I heard the voice of the city
Calling again and again;
Ami into her arms there hastened
Millions and millions of men.
And I heard the voice of old gardens,
Os quiet woodland ways;
But few hearts there were who would
heed them
In the rush of the busy days.
The cities grow old and vanish,
And their people faint and die;
But the grasses are green forever,
Forever blue is the sky.
MARRIAGE CERTIFICATES
TURN OUT NOTES
Scheme Employed to Get
Earners' Signatures.
PITTSBURG, PA., Oct. .22.—(Spec
ial) —Men wearing ministerial garb
had better keep away from the far
mers of Indiana county. About twen
ty wealthy residents have been swin
dled on a game which is original—
here, at least.
A man wearing ministerial clothes,
and who says grace at the table and
invites the family to join in evening
prayer, has been going about among
the farmers, being overtaken at night,
and has usually been invited to re
main. He has always selected the
men who are known to have money.
Next morning as the alleged
preacher is ready to depart, a young
man and woman ride up in a buggy
and hurriedly ask where they can
find a minister, as they are anxious
to get married. The young man us
ually displays a roll of bills, and the
visiting parson, trying to earn an
honest dollar, offers to marry the
pair.
After the ceremony the visiting
minister asks the farmer if he will
witness the marriage certificate,
which the farmers have been doing.
Later they are told that a promissory
note is in the neighboring bank, and
they are called to pay up.
GREAT POSSIBILITIES
MARCONI WIRELESS
ORANGE, N. J., October 22.-(Spec
ial) —In greeting the American Elec
trochemical Society, Thomas A.
Edison said:
"Give Marconi ten years and he
will be sending over the Atlantic
1,000 words a minute by wireless and
will be receiving at the same rate of
speed. The only limit to speed in
sending now is caused by the absorp
tion of the electric waves by the
wire or cable. There is no such ab
sorption in wireless telegraphy.
“New York and London will be
in free communication by wireless
telegraphy before long.
“Next summer I will build within
twelve hours a three-story house on
a lot, 25 by 45 feet. It will cost only
SI,OOO, and will be built on the basis
of its ownership by the $1.50 a day
labor who works on it. I have a mo
del of the first house that is to be
built. It will* be built during the span
of twelve hours and will include the
plumbing, heating apparatus, and
everything that means for comfort to
day and beauty in architecture.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caus
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars free. F. J. CHENEY & CO.,

WANT FOUR CITIES
CF TENNESSEE DRY
CHATTANOOGA, TENN., October
22.—(Special)—With the avowed in
tention of driving saloons from the
larger cities of Tennessee, as they
have already been driven from the
smaller cities and towns and rural
districts, the temperance hosts of the
state are gathering here today for the
convention of'the Anti-Saloon league,
to be held during the next three
days. Temperance speakers of nat
ional' fame will address the conven
tion and plans will be made for in
augurating a campaign that will make
Tennessee as “dry” as Georgia is
soon to become.
National Superintendent Barker,
of the Anti-Saloon League, will be
among the speakers at the conven
tion. There are now only four cities
in Tennessee w'here liquor can be
lawfully sold.
