the rounds of all the pleasure resorts
one is required to part with compara-
lively little money, and that, for the
amount of outlay; more that is really
entertaining or instructive, or both,

to find at any other place under the
protecting folds of the Stars and

PhiIadelphia, Nov. 2.-Thn Interna.
tional Commercial Congress, whose
sessions are held In connection with
the National Export exposition, at
fords an interesting study Though the
assemblage is comparatively small, the
subjects under discussion are as varied
and of such world wide Importance
that the listener is at once impressed
with the Importance of the occasion
and the almost solemnity of the scene.
There is an air of dignity In the ses-
sions--that Is. there is vein OF i'm
portance running through the delibera-
tions, though at times the sessions may
| be stormy, of an excitable nature or
| even humorous.
| No iron clad rule was established as
| to the language to be used by this fam
Gus gathering, but it was generally un-
derstood that English would be pre-
| ferred. This is contrary to the usage
| followed at most international gather
ings. French being the language OF
diplomacy and courtesy. But, as q
British delegate remarked, English IS
the language of business.
And so 1t Is that the sessions OF TINS

of course, to the prepared speeches and
papers prepared days and weeks, OF
maybe months, in advance of the open

The fun came--to those who were

when some questions came up for dls

Philadelphia, Nov. 2. Chinese who
come TO Ilns country are not SLOW TO
learn American habits. said Mr.. WI
Ting Fang in the International Com
meFcial Congress at the National Ex-
port exposition. Mr.. Fang is the Chi
nese minister to the United States. In
bis address to the commercial congress
he took strong ground against the
statement OF previous speaker that
"China has 00,000,000 inhabitants, and
if the exclusion law is repealed these
will come to America"
WI Ting Fang said: "The Chinese
that come here come only from two or
three districts in the Canton province,
| You never see a Chinaman here from
| the. north or central part of China.
| No men from Shanghai, for instance,
! except in the diplomatic corps. These
! two provinces have only population
of about one million, so that even
should all come, which is manifestly
| absurd, it would not be very serious
The total number of Cinnamon in
America now is about 100000. Chinese

1.-THE CIRCLE OF A CENTURY" BY
Mrs. Burton Harrison. l2mo, g25 pages,
Si,25. New York The Century Co.
This is sequence OF love stories in
New York. The scene of the first is
laid in the Bowling Green neighEor-
hood when the festivities were in pro-
gress that marked the, Inauguration OF
President Washington and the cstaE-
lishment of constitutional government.
The hero is soldier and the scion Of
ali cid and honored colonial family
while the heroine is the daughter of an
immigrant Scotch Irish mechanic. The
poitunities for use of tho materials
afforded by that picturesque period are
skilfully employed. The second par'
deals with tho present age of plutoc
racy, its hero being the rich and cult
yated descendant of the heroine of tn
earlier tale. The two stories abound il
local color and dramatic situations.
