MORGAN TO RETIRE.
Flnancier, Ie Is Said, VIII Cult ausi
ness az an Early Date in

New York, Sept. 27,-On the first day
OF next January j. Pierpont Morgan
will retire from active business with a
fortune h a is variousiy estimated at
from s106, 600, 900 to $3.50, 600, 600. His vast
business interests viii be fntrusted to
his son., j. P~ierponG Morgan, 1r., who
has leased a New York house, fur
nished, for four months and is going
to spend the winter here, The elder
Morgan will remain nonlinalIy at the
head of the firm for some time. Today
Wal street heard these facts and was
not surprised tllereat, for Mr.. Morgan's
retirement has been expected for more
than a year.
The great finaneier has paid less and
less attention to his business and more
10 art and charity in the last two years,
and tt is said ne is now willing to shift
almost the entire responsibility on his
son and upon the other partners, Of
whom he has ten. The Morgan concern
is at present composed as follows, the
members taking heir seniority in the
order named:
j. Pierpont Morgan, George C. Thorn
as, Edward T. Stotesbury, James W.
Paa! il, ]. Pierpont Morgan, jr, Tenn
pie Bowdoin. Edward NJ. Robinson, Ed
ward E. Whitney, William Pierso7
Hamilton, Charles Steele and George
w. Perkins. OF these only ore, young
MIR. Morgan, is d member of the stock
exchange.
Has Been Well Trained.
Young Mr., Morgan has had a very
thorough training IN the banking bus
mess ever since he left college. He be-
gan his apprenticeship under his ia
theirs direction in the New York Of
fee, where he faniliarized himself with
every department. He Is a young man
of much natural ability and has re-
cetved a thorough education. He has
none of h bad habits or frtvolities
that so many sons of rich men de-
velop.
He was always very r~nethodical and
seems to be anxious to fit htrnseIf to
succeed his father. Among the clerks
he WAS always popular because of his
.affability ard his democratic ways. In
Wall street he is known as Jack
Morgan.
Jack" Morgan went three years aao
to London where he began the same
course of study in the bank Of ]. p
Morgan & Co. as he had pursued In
the New York office.
While j. P, Morgan inherited wealth.
ne may be called a self-made man. be-
cause the greater part of his fortune
was araassed by himself. His first
marked achievement was when he Gre
ated a market for New York Central
stock in London for william H. Van
derbtlt. It was because of this that
Mr.. Vanderbilt presented to hinl a sill
YER plate Worth &50,GGG.

of agricultural exhibits those from

WHY CHINESE DO WASHING
Find the Eo--s Easy and Can Gel
Along Without Learning
Much Englinh.

ut is certcirly very strange that nine
out Of eyiry ten Cinnamon who have
come to the United States have become
faunGr. mer," said It. G. Simmons, Of
Seattle, to G VI ashington Star man.
They 60 not engage in this business
In China, AS evbry one knows, the Chi
nese at here wear soft cotton and fan
smell garment, according to tie season
fand there Is rot a pound of starch in

frFelANttbrown and the men do not co
stie F%SshiEg as they do In this coun.
try. AS a matter of fact, there is not
xn-reeHlar laundry in China.
Another thing that is noticeable Is
the ingenuity of Mr.. Cainaman dis
Mayed in the signs and checks used in
the laundry business. Chinese is an
ldeographic language. 1t conveys the
ilQarIsof theyword. for a thing.
h'srfesChiIese have invented more
than 10000 marks for their writing. but
1t requires only about 5000 for genera
mercantile purposes. For instance.
there are no characters in the Chinese
for letters Of any such simple variations
IS Roman and Arabic numerals. 1t is
therefore impossible to translate or
transliterate into Chinese such common
marks as A / or Nv G. In place OF this
the Chinaman uses the ideographs for
the commoner facts of life, such as
moon house. dog bear table
chair and street In addition to this
he employs the numeral characters
from l up to 100.
"a customer goes into a laundry un-
able to speak Chinese and gives HE
| package to a man unable TO understand
| English. He receives in return a check
containing two characters. One repre-
| sents the day of the week or the month
and the second one of tn facts mem
! toned, such as moon or lion The
slip is torn through the middle upon the
principle of legal indenture. 1t is inn
possible to initiate the torn pieces SO
that they will fit the half retained by
F, the laundry.
Then upon the daybook of the laun-
dry the proprietor enters under the day
OF the week or month the telegraph
moon or lion assigned to the customer
and beneath this the articles left to be
Numbered. He then takes down from
q hook a lot of muslin tags. On which
are written in indelible ink moon or
/ sion,' L. g. 3. 40, etc. One Of these tags
is affixed to each article except the COLI
lars and cuffs. To these n tag is af-
fixed, which Is fastened by a strong
thread or cord tied through the button
hole In each article. IN addition to this
