"Detroit Free Press. Tbe Sngliab Hnnlclpal Service. Compared with other professions in England, the municipal service is on the whole fairly well paid. Salaries of town clerks range from 800 in towns of a population of 80,000 to 1, 750 paid by Manchester, which has a population of 600,000, while municipal engineers are paid all the way up from 200 in towns of 20,000 to 1,000 a year paid by each of the municipalities of Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle. For these salaries the councils usually demand all thei time of their servants. A lawyer or an engineer may do better as a private practitioner, but in the municipal service he is sure of his posi tion and his pay,j and it will be his own fault if he bas not eo organized his office Olid trained assistants that he can hold on to his position well on into an old age. Advancing years may tell against a man for appointment to a-municipal office, but old age is seldom made the excuse for getting rid of a town clerk fir a municipal engineer. Most of them Tie in harness, drawing full pay. . The subordinate clerkships under the municipalities are not much better paid than clerkships j in law and mercantile offices. . The reason why these positions are prized is that in, such a position a man regards - himself as placed for life and is consequently in the enjoyment of that feeling of settlement and that ab sence of worry ;as to the future which are so dear to middle class Englishmen. Excellent men of their class hold these positions." Their , abilities and their re spectability would bring them the same salaries elsewhere, minus only the fixity of tenure which attaches to all grades Pof the municipal service. These subor dinates, like their superiors in the paid municipal service, vote at all elections like other citizens. They never attempt to conceal how they vote, but the recur ring elections give rise to no pleasurable expectations or disturbing apprehensions of any kind on their part They are nev er active in the municipal campaigns - and would as soon expect to encounter a highwayman in the town as a collect or seeking contributions to a campaign fund.

AN INCIDENT OF AN .'.'JCTION OF OLD , CHINA AND Br.;A-SRAC. What Happened When Two Women Xaeh Determined to Have s Cup and Sn- k cerHard to TcU Which Felt Worse Ij WlwB It Was All Over. . , i. It was the third ,!day of an auction ale cf (he chiua, bic-a-brao and furni ture of the last representative of an old New York family, and the auction room was crowded" to the doors with dealers in antiques, connoisseurs, speculators and people who had j just dropped in to fish up a bargain in glass or china if an opportunity offered. There were a large uuuiuw vi women present, ana tne were principally bargain seekers. Xhe auctioneer seemed used-to such erowds and continued to caflt out the bids monotonously despite" the amusing, situation that J arbse' every time he reached an article which one of tbe women had marked if buy for herself. Things had been quiet for a time when the auctioneer reached No. 706 r on the catalogue, which : was a cup and sanl- cer of Sevres china. It was a verv pret ty bit of Sevres, cleverly decorated and frail enough to Buit the most artistic fancy. It was such a piece as might bje purchased at any fine china or glass store-for $5, and it certainly would not have been reasonable, to expect more than f 4 for it at auction sale. The auc tioneer didn't expect more," and under ordinary circumstances he wouldn't have got so much.lbut these were hot ordinary circumstances. It happened that two bargain seeking women; had marked that cup and Baucer for them selves. ' They were only separated by a dozen seats, and an aisle through the maze of camp stools, and of course, neither had any notion that she would have veryj much competition for such a trifle. They were Well dressed women, and one was quite young. jThey sat in their seats without a word, while a cloisonne ! jardiniere worth;, $100 was knocked down to a dealer for $20, and they never -ventured a bid on bits of Worcester Dresden, Coalport and other kinds of china, which were sold for ri diculously low prices. But when the auc tioneer wearily remarked in his profes sional tone: " What 'ml offered for this cup and saucer? Guarantee goes with every piece.-' Gimme a bid, please," he was amazed at two shrill voices which called out simultaneously "One dollar." . The two women peered across at one another. i! . Then the ' younger said in emphatio tone: r-1 1 i . - j ' "A dollar and a half." I The auctioneer took; in the situation. What more could an auctioneer want? Two women pitted, against each other. Sleepy a moment before, he was all life now. - I-. .V 'I '. :. i .; ,"A half morel" he exclaimed scorn fully. "Really this is ridiculous. lean not take less than dollar bids." T 'Two dollars, '' said the older worn- an. "Three," said the other woman. The women sized each other np again while the auctioneer exhorted. "I'll fix her now," said the' older woman to a friend. "Five dollars. " , "Six,"" said the younger one. "Why, the spiteful thingl I don't believe she wants that cup at all. Well, she justsba'n't have it Seven dollars. " This time the younger woman hesi tated. Every eye was on her, for the whole crowd was interested. She pressed her lips together, and, assuming an in different expression, made! the bid $8, while the auctioneer nearly fell off his .chair. Every head-in the room turned with the bid to the older woman. .? ' "Don't you bid" another cent, " said hef friend. . ' : ! I "I'll just make this one bid. She doesn't want that cup., It's just spite, but I'll do her up now. Ten dollars, ' ' she exclaimed, and with a triumphant smile she glanced across the rcom. That smile was too much for the other woman, it made ner more determined. "Ob, she needn't think I'm afraid of a couple of dollars,!" she remarked in a husky whisper to the pale faced man who had - come with her to the auction and had been trying to get low enough in his seat to be out of sight of the eyes focused on his companion at every oth er bid.1-, ; ,"y ; -j . " . "Let her have it,'? said the man. "It isn't worth the money.-n' :. . . "Let her have it?l WellvI guess not Do you think I'll lot her beat me like that? Eleven dollars, in a shaky voice, but with a sweet smile. "Fine piece. Very fine Sevres. Worth big money, !Ijchan ted the auctioneer. " WeUI nevei exclaimed the older woman, j "Of airthe impudence I ever heard of I Oh, I'll fix her now!" ' "Let her have it," urged herfriend, "Cora Stone, do iyou mean to tell me you mean that? Would'jyou have me Rive in i to that doll faced child? I'll show you howrrll give upi to her. Fif teen dollars." .' m ;- .H : ) . This was a staggerer, l The young 'Woman looked troubled. She raised the bid a half, and the) auctioneer took it, because ; he sawrtbe end was near. A point had been reached whenbids -were cheered, and the side remarks caused roars of laughter; The price reached $17, and the bid was the older woman's. The pale man urged his companion not to bid, but those cheers rang in her ears, and every eye was upon her. V'And.a half," she said. "Then take it, you spiteful thing," suddenly yelled the older woman, right at her competitor.; Then she rose to her feet "Come, Coral I shan't stay in such a place another moment. ' ' And she flounced out, followed by Cora. The younger woman 1 looked badly rattled. She handed out $17.50 to the clerk and took the cup and Saucer. Then .she went out, looking very much embarrassed over the affair and wonder ing, probably, what had ever made her pay such a price for such a thing.

COTTON MARKETS. .Niw York. August 18 The cotton market showed up in better shape to day than for some lime. There have been intervals of old time activity and excitement and plenty of talk: of return ing speculation was heard The. market opened easy at an advance of two to four, points, unexpected favorable cables Retting the : better of bearish crop ac counts in circulation before business commenced. Liter xa&les were less satisfactory snd tbe early advance wa's mostly lost. Later, however, the mar ket turned a sharp corner on the ap pearance of active support, notabiv by one house that absorbed all the October-contracts offered and seemed to have unlimited buying orders all along tbe line. Shorts became active buyers and prices advanced eight to thirteen points from tbe lowest level. At noon tbe market showed a net gain of eight to eleven points In the afternoon the market showed well sustained activity and decided strength on general buying, following reports of a cold wave in the Northwest and excessive rains in the Mississippi valley.. New Orleans thorts were active buyers and private advices from New Orleans indicate more posi tive strength for that market than has been shown for some time! At the strongest interval our market showed a net advance of six to fourteen points aed was finally steady at a net advance of six to thirteen points. j Nlw'YORK. Aug, 18 Evening.
