Etiquette in Japanese Railway Cars.

Etiquette in Japanese Railway Cars.
Chicago Tribune.
When a native lady enters a Japa-
nese railway carriage she slips her feet
from her tiny shoes. stands upon the
seat. and then sits demurely with her
feet doubled beneath her. A moment
later she lights a cigarette. or her lit
tie pipe, which holds just tobacco
enough to produce two goods whiffs of
smoke. All Japanese people sit with
their feet upon the seat of the car. and
not as Europeans do. When the ticket
collector-attired in a blue uniform
enters the carriage he removes his cap
and twice bows to each passenger to
collect the tickets.

ness among traders today! The foreign ad-
vices were a disappointment, in that where
as decline Of only / to 4 points was ex-
pected, there was an opening loss of to
points and a closing net loss Of to II
points. The private advices were less bull
ish than heretofore from abroad, but it was
evident that q desire on the part of foreign
ers to take profits over the Sunday inter
pool weakness. The weather conditions
connection were supplemented by advices
regarding better crop outlook The pri-
vate advices from the belt were usually
quite favorable and the South was a moder-
ate seller of cotton. The statistics were
considered quite bullish. The worlds Wis
fble supply for the week showed a decrease
OF S9,532 and the total is now 12s,3T6 under
that of last year ut this time. The insight
for the week of 41.672 compared with So :
o47 last year. The port stocks are now
$4,000, against 100000 last year. The ex-
ports of cotton for the season thus far are
100000. against 6.603 900 last year. There
was some manipulation in the market dur
ing the short session and a number of the
room interests were inclined to scalp the
market The indications point to a rather
feverish and nervous market for next week.
although In this connection a great deal de-
ponds upon the weather and crop conditions
Sight must not be lost OF the fact that
the crop is now in the critical period of the
season so far as the weather is concerned
The estimated port receipts for the day
were figured at LOO, against l,417 for

Mr.. Whitney's Advice.

When the late William C. Whitney was
Secretary OF the Navy In Mr.. Cleveland's
cabinet he gained the good will of all of
the employees of the department because
of the candor and kindness with which he
treated them One morning he sent for the
head of certain bureau and told him to
make the appointment of a man from New
York city. Later in the day the chief of
the bureau returned and said
Mr.. whitney I want to ask you a ques-
ton. II you will be kind enough to reply
10 it"
Certainly" said the Secretary in his
most afable manner; what is it?''
IT want TO know II I am not supreme
in my bureau"
You are" said the Secretary. with Just
the suspicion of a smile lurking in the
corners OF his mouth.
Then have control Of the appointments
in my division; that is to say. do not have
to make an appointment unless feel so dis
posed"
That is the situation precisely" said
the Secretary, the smile now becoming
quite pronounced.
"WWal. Mr.. Secretary" said the sub
ordinate. coming to the point at last "I
don't think to make that appoint
ment."
Just as you say" said Mr.. Whitney the
smile now becoming a genuine laugh BY

President has the power to remove YOU
and to appoint your successor. You know
that"
"oh. yes" the confident reply, "1
know that"
"Al right, then" said Mr. Whitney. "Ill
let the President know that you don't see
your way clear to make this appointment. -
"Oh, does the President want it?" came
the startled query.
Yes"
"Ah-hem-nlight ask you-as-a-
friend what you would advise me to do
under the circumstances?
We'll" said the Secretary. who enjoyed
the humor OF the situation immensely.

significant feature 10 the absence Of COM

not affect the distant deliveries which are
governed by radically different Influences

Mr.. Taylor introduced a resolu-

and use all efforts to secure the
nomination of farmer as our
candidate for governor. The
Chief in speaking of the resolu-
tion stated that it was "cha m
pioned by w. ]. Taylor and
strongly opposed by number of
delegates and that the resolution
was defeated by an overwhelming
majority" What Mr.. Taylor
objects to is that the Chief did
not give the names of those who
so strongly opposed the resolu-
ton and proceeds to name "R. E.
Brega, Fred Cummings, II. j..
Shinn, E. h. Purcell, w. p.
Higgins and ]. G.. Painter, three
lawyers, one editor, one banker
and one true populist as the ones
who so strongly opposed the
resolution" Mr.. Taylor further
states, "that the resolution was
not defeated more than two to
one, and that a time of day when
many of the farmer delegates
had left"
