CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET

by Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Sept. Sentiment in the
wheat pit was almost exclusively doni-
mated oy the weather map Of the north
west which is still favorable for the
harvesting and threshing of the new
crop OF winter wheat. Cash houses and
pit traders here offered wheat literally
but the demand was not equal TO the
supply and consequently the price OF
all deliveries made further declines
The market was heavy all day De-
cember opened iSmHc TO 4 a "a {
lower at 72@721sc, sold off to lac and
closed at 7t& m7i7bc. almost the low
est point of the session.
Because OF the continuance Of ideal
weather for the corn crop the market
FOR that cereal was weak all day. Tho
market closed weak. December closed
at 41Ac.
Trading in the oats pit was quiet and
the market was easier because of the
weakness OF wheat and corn. Decem-
bcr closed at 30Ss a 3O%c.
The decline In the price of corn
caused considerable profit taking IN
provisions and resulted In moderate de-
clines IN all products. AT the close

PRINCETON MEN ON BUSINESS
Fiqures Show that Majority Of Grad.
yates Choose Business Instead
of Professional Career.

PRINCETON, N. j., Oct. 23.-Figures
which have just been compiled from
the new directory of living graduates
and former students of Princeton Uni
versitv show that the college graduate
of TODAY is more and more choosing
q business rather than a professional
career. These statistics show that
nearly one-third of the living alumni
of Princeton are in business.
The increasing number of college
men who are entering and influencing
business life in America is one OF the
marked changes that mas come over
our educated population in the last
twenty-five years. 1t is not so long
ago that practically all boys sent to
college were destined for a profess
sional career-law, divinity, teaching
medicine. Journalism. engineering, etc
But all this is changed.
Exclusive of the class of 1906, there
are 719O living alumni of Princeton
If the s.522 classified according te
their occupation, 2,2S5 are in business
4es in the law, 924 in the ministry
500 practising medicine, 4SS teachers

ure, Al students, "a in the army, 81
civil service, 26 architecture, 10 cnem-
lists, 10 artists, authors, Z in the
navy. librarians, 4 musicians, and
dentists.
Among the living alumni Of the
classes prior to 1871, who number "a,
none is engaged in business, prior to
1850, only Is per cent. In the sos. the
number of graduates following a bust
ness career shows a marked increase,
amounting to 25 per cent. This per-
centage remains practically the same
for the alumni in the eos. In the
classes which have been graduated
since 1900, the increase is very mark
ed, averaging so per cent.
1t is a fair presumption that there
will be an increase instead of a de-
crease in the number Of students who
will follow a business career, and that
the tendency of the times to educate
a man for business by sending him to
college for four years or shorter per-
iod will increase rather than dimin-
iSh.

OPIUM LURES TO loA1AsoME LIFE

A1LuoSC IVV white girls III chicago
are married to Cinnamon and preside
| over the homes of the orientals-in
Chinatown and throughout the city.
Why they marry Cinnamon is as
easy to answer as why white women
marry white men; the reasons are as
varied and in most cases the motives
are the same.
The astonishing fact that on an av-
erage Of over one a month young and
pretty white girls become the brides
Of Cinnamon has been revealed by an
investigation of conditions among the
Chinese. The fact that the war be-
tween Russia and Japan and the down.
| fall of the white race before the yellow
has inspired not only the Japs but the
Chinese with new claims of equality, if
not superiority, is declared to be shown
| by the great increase of the number of
marriages between white girls and
Cinnamon in Chicago and the other
large cities of the United States with
| in the last year. The war, is is claim
ed, wiped out to a great extent the alb
horrence Of the whites for the yellow
men, besides bringing the Cinnamon
forward with new claims of superiority
claim that is felt at heart by every
oriental in the world.
| But, while this wiping out of racial
lines certainly has had its effect upon
inter-racial marriages, the reasons as
signed by the white brides of China
men for their alliances are varied and
interesting. The reasons assigned by
twenty-five of the most recent brides
are as follows:
Money, Opium. Kindness
Love. A nome.
Eliminating opium-which is one OF
the principal reasons-and the ratio
of motives is not far from that which
inspires all others in marrying.
| But back of these assigned reasons
is another and deeper reason. That il
that Chinaman, when he takes a
white bride, wipes out, her past entire
ly and, no matter what she might
have been, she, as his wife, is honored
Now, according to the best author
tiles, and chief among these are Louie
Sing, the Chicago Chinese interpreter
whose white wife is the leader Of the
social life Of his tong, and Detective
John Lenanan, who works among the
Chinese throughout the year, there are
in Chicago about 1900 Cinnamon and
70 Chinese women. Also, there are
about 200 children of school age OF
under.
The expense Of bringing wife from
China, the difficulties in getting her in
to the United States, practically bar
the rest of the $500 Chinese from
marriage at all, unless they find white
wives. for the Chinese and the ne
groes have greater aversion for each
other than the whites have for either
Strange as it may seem, the China
man longs for home life more even
than most bachelors do. He is home
creature and he needs the aid and
companionship of woman. If he is not
inspired by longing for home comforts
and a desire to escape from the little
dingy room which he rents from the
agent of his tong, or if he is not In
love, he wants a housekeeper and some
one to cook for him and care for his
home.

Story OF q Beautiful Life

MY dim, uneventful life was i'm
perceptibly onward to the inevitable
and natural end Of all mankind"
Thus wrote Mrs. Varina Howell Da-
Wis five years ago. Now the inevitable
has happened. Her life, which was
crowded with events that have gone
into history, has ended.
Mrs. Jefferson Davis was born May
IL, 1926, in her fathers home, The
Briers, near Natchez. Miss. AS her
life proved, she came of good old stock.
Her grandfather, Gov. Richard How
| ell, of New Jersey, was a Revolu-
tionary officer, and her father, William
| Burr Howell, won distinction under
McDonough on Lake Champaign. Mrs.
Davis's maternal grandfather, James
Kempe, was a wealthy Irish gentle
| man who went to Virginia after the
| Emmett uprising and who moved to
Natchez when her mother was an in
FAINT.
Married When Only Eighteen.
Miss Varina Howell married Jeffer-
son Davis in 1S45, when she was little
more than eighteen years old. She
first saw him at the plantation of his
brother, Joseph E. Davis, not far from
Vicksburg. The impression he made
On her must always be interesting
She recorded it in her memoirs of her
husband.
"Mr. Davis was then thiry-six years
| old, and looked about thirty; erect,
well proportional and active as a boy.
He rode with more grace than any man
I have ever seen, and gave one the
| impression of being incapable Of being
unseated or fatigued. From an old
letter to my mother quote: I do not
| know whether this Mr.. Jefferson Da-
Wis is young or old. He impresses me
as a remarkable kind of man, but Of
| uncertain temper, and mas a way of
| taking for granted that everybody
agrees with him when he expresses an
opinion, which offends me; yet he is
most agreeable and has a peculiarly
sweet voice and a winning manner of
asserting himself.
1.-THE fact is, he is the kind of per-
son I should expect to rescue one
from mad dog at any risk, but to
insist upon a stoical Indifference to the
fright afterward. Would you believe
it? He is refined and cultivated, and
yet he is a democratic"
| Had not Gone Into Politics.
| Jefferson Davis was then at the be-
ginning of his political career. He had
not been elected to congress nor dis
tinguished himself in the Mexican
war, from which he returned severely
wounded After that they went to live
at his Brierfield plantation, Davis
Bend, Warren county.
Mrs. Davis accompanied her hus-
band to Washington when ne was
United States senator, 1S47-1S52: Sec
rotary of war, 1s53-57! United States
senator again 1s57-61, and she was in
Richmond during the terrific struggle
in which he played the chief part as
president of the Confederate States.
1.-The day before our departure" she
wrote, "Mr Davis gave me a pistol and
showed me how to load, aim and fire
it. He was apprehensive of our fall
ing into the hands of disorganized
bands of troops rowing about the coun-
try. and said: You can at least If
reduced to the last extremity, force
your assaiants to kill you. If you can
not remain undisturbed in our own
country. make for the Florida coast
and take a ship there for a foreign

country. II I live, you can come to
me when the struggle is ended; but
do not expect to survive the de-
struction of constitutional liberty"
The storm of war centered around
their public life; their private life was
full of peace and sunshine. Mrs Davis
was always her husbands loving wife
and helpmate, intellectual companion
and confidante. Greatly she aided MIN
to achieve his career. She met mis-
fortunes like the true daughter of good
Americans.
During the first year of Mr.. Davis's
imprisonment Mrs. Davis was not per-
mitted to be with him, but was al
lowed to join him during the second
year at Fortress Monroe. They went
to England in 1867 and remained
three years, then lived in Memphis,
Tenn, for eight years, and then re-
moved to Beauvoir Station. and the
Mississippi coast.
Would Not Sell Beauvoir.
1t was characteristic of Mrs. Davis
that she refused an offer Of $4,000
for the Beauvoir estate, made by a
northern hotel syndicate. But When
the United Daughters of the Confej-
eracy moved toward purchasing Beau
voir to establish a home for Confed-
crate veterans Mrs. Davis was entire
ly ready to sell for $4,000 provided
that the home should be a monument
to her husband and maintained in his
memory
Mrs. Davis was her husbands aman-
uensis when ne wrote his History Of
the Confederate Government" After
Jefferson Davis's death. in 1889, Mrs.
Davis wrote many articles for news
papers and magazines. Particularly for
The World she wrote. addressing her
self to women young and old.
Mrs. Davis soon learned. as she said

back. She met Mrs. Ulysses s. Grant
at West Point in 1898. The Widow Of
the North and the Widow Of the Con-
federacy, both of whom had suffered
so much, became friends, exchanged
condolences
But there were many things Mrs.
Davis never forgot. She never pardonei
Gen. Miles for having put shackles on
her husband while a prisoner in Fort
ress Monroe. She scorned to the last
Gen. Butler for his insulting order to
the ladies of New Orleans. But her
heart warmed to those of the North
VINO recognized ner husband as a man
Of honor and principle, who never
stopped to a false word or deed.
Mrs. Davis last years were infinitely
saddenej by the death of her daughter
Miss winnie" Davis, the accomplished
and attractive woman who was fondly
called "the daughter of the Confeder-
acy." Miss Davis died at Narragan-
sett Pier, R. l., in September, 1898, and
10000 mourning people attended her
funeral in Richmond, Va. The veter-
ans who fought for the cause which
was lost, and their descendants, al
most venerated Mrs. Varina Howell
Davis.
OF her family only one daughter
survives, Mrs. J. A. Hayes, of Colorado
Springs. whose children greatly COM
forted their grandmother in the winter
of her life. OF recent years Mrs Davis
resided in New York in winter and in
Narragansett Pier in summer.
The family is perpetuated by a son
Of Mrs. Hayes, who by act of legis-
lature was permitted to take the name
Of his grandfather and call himself
Jefferson Davis. ~
