LITERARY NOTES.

"HERE was told the other day in
conversation with woman just
back from Paris an incident show
ing how small the world and how large
the heart of sympathetic woman. The in
cident relates to Miss Katharine de For
est, who for seven years has contributed
to "Harper's Bazaar" the most delightful
letters from Paris. During these years
Miss de Forest has had many letters from
her American readers. Some have writ
ten to thank her for the pleasure she has
given them. Others, about to go abroad,
have asked advice and received 1t. Ameri
can women visiting Paris have called on
her, and found American hospitality in
her apartment In the Rue Freycinet- Last
month, however, she had an experience of
unusual interest and pathos.
Early one morning Miss de Forest re-
ceived a cable from an American woman
in the far West-a stranger to her. 1t
stated that friend of the sender, also
an American, was lying dangerously i'll in
Paris hospital. Would Miss de Forest
go to her? Miss de Forest went at once
TO the hospital mentioned, and found the
patient-a sweet woman-utterly alone
and very i'll. She had not friend in the
city. She was a tourist there for a few
days only when stricken down. She could
speak no French. and the hospital at
tendants no English. Her special claim
on Miss de Forest, aside from the broad
ones of race and humanity. lay in the fact
that she was and had been for many
years subscriber to the Bazaar as was
the friend who had cabled in her behalf.
and thus she knew Miss de Forest through
her letters.
Miss de Forest took her place as friend,
adviser, and interpreter to the sick wom-
an. The hospital authorities did all they
could. but pneumonia ran Its dread
course. Within week there was nothing
to do for the stranger in strange land
except to notify her family and friends
in America that she had passed away.
But during the hard battle that was
waged for life in the little hospital room
Miss de Forest supplied the friendship.
the sympathy. and the practical helpful
ness that are needed then as at no other
time. Her own duties were put aside;
her own interests perhaps suffered; but
the dying woman. loved by many but far
from them all, found infinite comfort in
her presence

eDatOT aCLalFin Speaks
On the Exclusion Bill.
Fears Measure Now Uuder Dis
cu>sion Will Kill Our Trade
With Chinese People.


Washington, April a. The
Chinese exclusion bill occupied
the attention of the senate through
out the day, Senator Foraker and
McLaurin of South Carolina max
ing extended speeches in opposi-
ton.
Mr.. McLaurin in his remarks
said it was incOnceivable that any
honorable nation, least of all the
United States, should surrenderlts
integrity by deliberately adopting
policies and enacting laws in viola
tion of it's own sworn compact
and treaty with any other'power,
and that too, during a period of
profound peace by provoking
cause from the other nation. The
pending senate bill, he declared,
was calculated by its restrictive
action and inimicable spirit to kill
eur trade with China. This was
= considerable item of vital ina
pertance to South Carolina, with
its vast cotton production and the
growing shipment of cettor goods
to China.
"ls 1t fair to the people of the
South, :" asked Senator McLaurin,
'Justas they are beginning to
prosper in manufacturing and
commercial enterprises, after long
years of trouble and privatien to
tear down and crush their new
enterprises on the assumption
that such a ruinous policy is ne
cessary in order to keep out the
Chinese when, in point OF fact it
Is not at oil necessary and the
chinese are being kept out by the
existing law That is the plain
business proposition at the basis
of the whole question.
Mr.. McLaurin said the effect
of q shutdown in China trade
and the consequent collapse OF
southern cotton manufacturing
would be most severe on the south.
1t would glut The home market
and close the mills. The mill own
ers and the operatives would suffer

eratives would be idle while the
