ing officer Governors island has had in
a long time who has made any social
stir in the city. His marriage two years
ago to a Miss Patten. of Philadelphia,
who. to considerable wealth unites high
social standing In that city, explains the
change.
Gen. Corbin Is man of mountainous
physique, huge and commanding in stat
ure. ready of wit and Astounding in bust
ness ability. His war record has not
greatly endeared him to the old soldiers
OF the fighting type about Washington.
and he came at times perilously near
snubbing in exclusive military circles in
the capital. But anyone who imagines
that without much of q military record
man can rise to be major general in the
army without ability makes great mis-
take. Corbin has made himself invalu-
able to successive commanders because
Of his executive ability. He is keen and
coldly intellectual, never shrinks from
making enemies when necessary, and
knows how to obey orders. The depart
ment Of which he is the head stretches
from Maine to Porto Rico and includes
many smaller posts.

The exploit of the New York japanese
in raising money for the cause of Nip
pom against Muscovy has rather aston
ished some old New Workers who haven't
kept pace with new developments. The
personal character of the Japanese here
has not a little to do with the great IA
vor in which their cause is held by most
New Workers. But / do not suppose
most of our people even yet appreciate
to how great an extent these Japanese
act as volunteer political agents of their
home land. There is no country which
is more devotedly served by its citizens
abroad with valuable information than
is Japan. 1t is the policy Of the govern
ment to encourage its people to scat
ter widely upon business bent, and its
students to seek education in different
lands. 1t is recalled. for instance. that

Many of the foreign female contin-
gent complain that our capital is dull
compared with the gay capitals of the
old world. especially oh Sundays!
Across the water, the fun starts imme-
diately after mass Sunday morning.
Theaters and concerts are in full blast
during. the AFTERNOONS and the cafes do
q big business. Thex have special sing
ers and 2 band of music. psalms and
hymns are not on theprogramme! It
was perhaps to pander to the tastes OF
our foreign distinguished population
that the congressiohalifhrary and Cor
coran gallery OF art throw open their
doors at noon Sunday!
Crowds throng both, buildings during
the entire afternoon of Sunday and
they are not all foreigners by any
means! In fact, it Is about the only
time the governments clerks have for
enjoying the advantages offered by
both institutions ahd they make the
most of it The librarian of congress
had to put an extra force Of clerks on
Sunday afternoon, and It Is sometimes
almost impossible to elbow your way
through the crowds In the main gal
leries of the Corcoran art gallery. The
theaters, too. are frequently opened
here on Sunday evenings for the rem
dition OF an oratorio lecture or sacred
concert. In a few years 1t looks as II

The situation in table Potatoes was I'M
changed, stocks being moderate and the de-
mand steady. particularly for good stock.
Nearly all holders were firm in their views and
several were predicting higher prices as a re-
suit of the extensive damage to the growing
crops in the flooded river districts. The recent
arrivals of Oregon Burbanks were well cleaned
out of first hands and the quotations had a
narrower range. New Pota toes arrived freely,
but tie market had previously been bare
the receipts were readily marketed at higher
rates. firmer feeling prevailed in Onions,
as cid and wet stock was gradually drying out
with the warmer weather. Choice lots of Or
esons were bringing small advance over the
quotations at the stores. but first hand prices
showed no Improvement.
