CARDINAL RAPS
CLINGING SKIRTS
“Even Ordinary Men in Street
Are Disgusted With Wom
en’s Dress,” He Says.
VIENNA., Aug. 10.—Considerable in
dignation has been caused among wom
en in Vienna by the utterances of th<
patriarch cardinal. Cavallarl.
After making a long quotation from
the words of St. Peter on feminine
vanities, the cardinal, In a recent ser
mon. said:
"The extravagance of women’s dress
has reached such a point today that
even men— l don’t speak of Christians
but the ordinary men in the street—
feel disgusted.
"Allow me to tell you what indecent
clothing is. I consider that dresses
which permit the arms and a great
part of the neck to be seen, or in which
they are only slightly covered with lace
or transparent materials, are Indecent
Further, skirts which <ling to the form
may be regarded as indecent and as
likely to destroy all feelings of natural
modesty.
“How can respectable women appear
in public thus arrayed' 1 declare for
■my part that I will not permit women
bo bedecked to attend confirmation,
•Ither as spectators or as godparents
to the children I possess the right tn
exclude every person who thus shows
her want of respect for the Holy Sac
rament."

FORMER TYPIST
Widow of Jacob Baur, Million
aire. Educated Herself for
Position by Night Study.
CHICAGO, ILL., Aug. 10.—The task
of administering a fortune of nearly
$2,000,000 hast fallen upon the shoul
ders of a Chicago woman, who twelve
years ago was uneducated and had just
commenced a struggle as a bread-win
ner.
The will of Jacob Baur, president of
the Liquid Carbonic Company, was
filed for probate, leaving an estate of
$1,845,000 to .Mrs. Bertha Duppler Baur,
his widow.
Ten years ago, after two years hard
work in a store and by studying at
night, Mih. Baur, then pretty Bertha
Duppler, became a stenographer. The
job was too purely mechanical for a
woman of her genius. She enlarged
upon her work. She became secretary
to Postmaster Coyne and earned the
largest salary ever paid to a woman in
the United States postal service.
When Coyne was succeeded by Post
master Busse the hitter could find no
one competent to succeed Miss Duppler
ns secretary. She was secretary under
Busse and again under Postmaster
Campbell.
She studied law at night and was
admitted to practice. Site took up art
and has painted several notable pic
tures. Less than two years ago she
married Baur. She then wrote two
volumes of verse, whirn have received
much favorable comment.
She recently won a prize for prepar
ing the best meal.

Market Rallies in Early Trade,
But Recedes on Weak
Cable Reports .
NEW YORK, Aug. 10. —Weak cables
and favorable weather conditions result cd
in the cotton market opening 3 to 8 points
lower today. During the first few min
utes <>f trading a buying wave prevailed
and prices in the most active positions
rallied 4 to 6 points from the early range.
During the late trading of the short
session the market developed a quiet tone
with less active business. The buying
wave that prevailed during the early trad
ing seemed to check on the weather map
indications for favorable weather over
Sunday for the larger part of the belt,
and prices had a tendency to sag. At the
close the market was steady with prices
showing a not loss of 7 to 11 points from
the final quotations of Friday.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 10, — Liverpool
showed surprising weakness toward the'
.close with futures about 5 points lower |
than due; spots 8 points lower; several
cables said the decline was caused by the
rumor of an important failure in our mar
ket No one here knows of any failure
or even suspicion of one. The rumor is, j
therefore, unfounded. The weather map
shows fair in Oklahoma, in western Ar
kansas and the Atlantic coast districts.
Generally cloudy elsewhere; good rains
In the northern half of Texas; also in the
western portion; no rain in the southern
half of Texas; general rains in the cen
tral ad eastern states; very heavy in north
Louisiana and heavy al many stations in
north Alabama, Georgia and South Caro
lina. indications are for cloudy, unset
tled showery weather, except in the
northwestern quarter of Florida, which
may have fair weather. Precipitation in
the central and eastern states, except
possibly in East Tennessee and North
Carolina, should not be as heavy as dur
ing the pasl two days. Our market
opened a little easier on the poor Liver
pool. hut selling was well taken.
The demand came from shorts to cover
over Sunday and on the belief that rainy
weather in central states will bring dam
age reports, and also in anticipation of a
bullish crop report by The Times-Demo
erat Monday. Further rainy weather it
is thought might make the crop so late
that the filling of August and early Sep
tember spot commitments many hold or
advance spot prices which are already
considerably above future prices.
In reply to an inquiry, a well-posted
party in south Texas answers that rain
is needed from Taylor south, but no harm
yet New York did not encourage the
reaction idea, but became weak in the
last hour, which led to a loss of all the
gain here, ('('tuber selling back to 11.92.
McFadden interests were reported as
leading sellers. 'Pile weather over Sun
day will probably affect trading mate
rially early next week. Further heavy
and genital rains would strengthen the
belief in damage and late crop, while
clearing weather would encourage selling
on anticipation of improving crop news
and an increase in early receipts.

Bailei A Montgonieri : "We look for
I enough buying on further decided weak

Thompson. Towle * Co.: "With talk of

NEWS AND GOSSIP (
Os the Fleecy Staple
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 10— Hayward &
Clark: The weather map shows fair in
Oklahoma and on the Atlantic coast:
partij - cloud) to cloudy elsew’here; good
rains in northern half of Texas.; also in
wjest portion No rain in south Texas.
Very heavy rain in north Louisiana. Gen
eral rains In central and eastern states;
heavy in Georgia, South Carolina and
north Alabama.
The idea prevails that The Times-
Democrat Monday may be bullish, and,
combined with government forecast for
more rains in central and eastern states,
leads to buying.
Following from man at Shreveport;
| "Light rain continues falling, becoming
quite serious. Bottom bolls will rot and
I worms will have full sway."
The following letter received late yes
terday from our reporter, J. A. Kennedy;
"I am now winding up my west Texas
| trip and will be in north Texas next
: week. I now estimate that 25 per cent of
; the entire west and northwest has been
I covered by local showers during the past
ten days, while all the lowland of that
[ section is as dry as powder and the crop
I already cut short. I find all the coun
try along the Texas and Pacific railroad
beginning at Weatherford and running
200 miles west Is very dry and the crop
is a partial failure, much of the section
covered requiring from 5 to 20 acres to
produce a bale.
"Central and north Texas has received
a good rain this week, beginning as low
as Corsicana and Temple on the south,
and running into Oklahoma. This rain
was badly needed and will be of grear
benefit to the crop over that section of the
state. Southwest Texas is still suffer
ing from a prolonged drouth, and I have
very reliable information that shedding is
about as bad in that section as in 1909.
"I warn you not to accept exaggerated
rain reports with too much credence, as
the tendency of many ‘real estate boom
ers’ is to give too much free information
of an optimistic character. Some of the
interior exporters are guiltv of the same
fault.”
The New Orleans Times-Democrat says:
Whether scalpers buying In America and
selling In Liverpool at the wide differ
ence stopped the decline, or whether short
sellers paused long enough to review the I
crop condition effect of recent weather re
mains to be seen. It is a fact, how
ever, that new crop deliveries, after a
further dip. which carried New Orleans
December to 11.86, regained some 17
points by the close, and bulls accepted
the reaction as proof that bearish en
thusiasm had run its course, and sup
ported the belief with telegrams saying
Texas is no showing anything like the
improvement the trade had been led to
expect by the multitude of bearish ad
vices sent out on the heels of recent
rains in the west. On the other hand, low
price men frankly admlted that reactions
were logical after a decline of 150 points
from the season’s high level, hut per
sisted In their belief that the trend of
the market will continue downward, and
supported that belief with the fact that
Houston sold 7,450 bales of f. o. b. cot
ton, which, they claimed, clearly indi
cated the commencement of the new crop
movement in real earnest.

BEARISH REPORT
Weather Also Tends to Lower
Prices —Corn Advances.
Oats Irregular.
CHICAGO, Aug. 10.—Wheat opened firm
tn tone today with prices ranging from
%®lc lower. The August government
report was the main bearish factor.
Profit-taking by shorts and buying on
resting orders caused a slight reaction.
Com was off %®%, at the start, but
%® %c of the loss was regained on profit
taking. The weather is more favorable
and the crop is progressing.
Oats were %®lc lower, mostly in Sym
pathy with the other grains.
Provisions were mainly lower despite
the fact that hogs were higher at the
yard. Lard was the only exception and
that commodity ruled steady.
Wheat was lower today’ and final prices
showed net declines ranging from %c
and %c to %c. To the influence of a
bearish government report was added fa
vorable weather reports in both spring
and winter wheat territory and the ab
sence of export business.
Corn advanced %c to %c and showed
considerable strength, holding the best
prices fairly well.
Oats were irregular, final prices rang
ing from %c to %c lower to %c higher,
with September the strong spot.
Provisions showed but little change.
There was an improved cash demand re
ported for both meats and lard
