The host literary address Senator
Bacon ever made was in 1881 or 1882.
nt the commencement of Emory Col
lege, Oxford. Ga. I remember that he
was highly congratulated on his ora
tion, and the press paid him many
compliments. At that time he was a
candidate for Governor, his opponent
being Alexander H. Stephens, the old
Commoner having been brought into
the race by certain of Mr. Bacon's po
litical opponents as the only man who
might ho able to defeat Mr. Bacon at
that time. It may be of some interest
to note that, as in the ca;
Bacon, the best literary address ever
delivered by Mr. Stephens was at the
commencement of Emory College, July
21. 1S52, before the Few and Phi
Gamma, societies, the same before
minated in 1871 in the organization in
New York of the flrst professional as
sociation known* in tho game’s history,
viz.. “The National Assoc'ation of Pro
fessional Baseball Players.” and then
it was that profess'inai baseball began
its permanent establishment. And, as
Editor Chadwick says, It will be seen,
therefore, that while Cincinnati was
the birthplace of professional baseball.
New York was its flrst home.
From 1871 to October. 1875. a corrupt
condition of things existed In the pro
fessional baseball business. It devel
oped that the professional players
could not play the game and at the
same time properly govern a national
association. Editor Chndwieh explains
■»»_ this by saying that the officials of some , , ,. - ... ,
of the clubs opened the doors to the ™ ents concerning the Savannah in

NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, April 4.—The cotton mar
ket was active and showed continued
steadiness, with the close steady at a
net advance of 5a8 points. Sales for tho
day were estimated at 16 000 bales.
The opening was steady at unchanged
prices to an advance of 2 points, the
gains being on the near positions, which
were influenced by rather higher cables
than expected and which were relatively
active, while the new crop months felt
the effects cf predictions for further rains
in the Southwest. Leading brokers were
buying on the call, particularly July,
and the market worked up several points
right after the opening, on the light esti
mates for tomorrow's receipts at Hous
ton and continued firm cables from the
English market, where Egypt and the
continent were said to be buying. After
showing a net gain of about 5aS points
there was enough realizing to cause a
slight recession, but tho market finned up
again in the early afternoon on the ex
ports and reports of a better spot demand.
Prices at one time were 9 to 12 points
net higher. The close was a little off
from the best under relaizing.
Business was a little more general than
recently, but it was thought that the
demand came chicflv from the bull in
terests and scattering shorts. South
ern spot markets were unohanged to
1-lGc. higher. Exports for the day were
about 5,000 bales in excess of the port
receipts.
Receipts of cotton at the ports today
were 16,384 bales against 21.9Q3 bales last
week, and 15.912 bales last year. For the
week (estimated) 125,000 bales against
147 231 bales last week and 113,935 bales
last year.
Today’s recelots at New Orleans were
2.652 bales against 4.416 bales last year,
and at Houston 4,080 bales against 3.483
bales last year.

NEW YORK. April 4.—Spot cotton

quotations:
ment but there can be no doubt that
tho changed face of the money prospect
lay at the root of the more cheerful sen
timent expressed by the rise in prices.
Undoubtedly tho relief measures
adopted by the Treasury were deciding
factors in averting the expected April
1 crisis. Wednesday’s Imperial Bank
of Germany statement and today's Bank
ef France statement are sufficient evi
dence of the strrrs of the situation. The
Paris market expres ed its belief today
that the back rate of discount had not
been raised to 4 per cent. The collapse
in money rates clears up one of the dark
est clouds on the financial horizon and
is of vast sentimental influence in dis
persing th" deep impression recently
hanging over tho securities market.
Large importance was attached in the
day’s improvement to the reports from
Chicago that a settlement had been
reached of the wage dispute of Western
railroads. Southern Pacific's very strong
showing of net earnings for February
helped that stock and Union Pacific ns
well, and there wn3 sympathetic effect
on tho whole market.
The iate market showed the usual effig;/

been practiced against them, were no
more than tramps and bums who want

a means of getting their railroad fare

employed at the store of the Danner,-

For some time tilings havo bean
missing from the store and in spite
of all the watchfulness on the part
of the clerks the cause could not lie

On Wednesday a pile of trousers
had diminished in such a way as to

then that sufficient proof was found
against the two negroes.
Hardin was arrested and yesterday
morning was bound over on the charge
of larceny. After the adjournment of
court Davis was found and will fat o
the recorder this morning.
The police say that both men tell
on each other and in this way the
proof becomes easy.
