Mansfield and the Drum.

Mansfield was at one time a reporter.
He did all-around work on a small pa

dramatic criticism. Only one OF his
criticisms seems to have attracted no
tice, and that was because be devoted
the major part Of 1t to the work of the

JAPANESE BADLY
OVERRATED PEOPLE
German Merchant Ar
aIySeS Their Traits.

BERLIN, Nov. Especially
German merchant, writing from Toxic
says: eff the men who write articles
from this country for publication, in
which matters of business, statecraft,
and civic conditions are discussed,
would spend more time in Japan, If
they would go about looking at things
as they are and not as the romancers
who have been here before them
have seen them, the world would gain
a better knowledge of the Japanese.
1T has become so much the rule
to go into raptures over the Land
of Flowers so fashionable to stand
hat in hand and bowling to the ma
ton of Little Men, who conquered
the Russian Bear, it is SO thoroughly
in keeping with the spirit of the time
to marvel at the spirit of progress
displayed by the island natives, that
when one does discover that the rap
lures are hysterical and that at close
range there is little cause for admira
ton, one is afraid to say it.
I'm business the American strives,
by honest trading mixed with shrewd-
ness, to make and to keep customers,
while the japanese merchant or man
facturer, has only one subject in
view-to make money regardless of
the method and with never a thought
as to the respect or the good will of
his foreign customer. He adopts,
when he can, the inventions of others,
but he invents nothing himself, and
what he looks upon as clever business
his European and American patrons
call by different name
What is true of them in commerce
is equally true in politics. The ma
ton, like the individual is suspicious
and has confidence in no one. The
natives who emigrate, no matter
where they go or what their condi-
ton may become in the country to
which they may go, never cease to be
Japanese, and although, money max
ing may be the object Of their lives
abroad, they never forget that they
are spies for their own government.
But to us it seems ridiculous to
think that the Japanese jingoes, who
are making all efforts to brighten the
great powers Of the earth, should be
taken seriously. 1t will take many
years of good business before there
will be money enough in the imperial
treasury to justify new war expen-
ses."

CLARK s co.'s COTTON LETTER

NEW YORK, Nov. Foreign adj
vices were strangely noncommittal
this morning, values declined just
enough to make the response gen
erous to our break of yesterday. 1t
was difficult to open the market here
today. There was no business. No
one will buy cotton now except on
recessions. Time was when in times
like these Southern interests would
come to the support of their great
staple, but it is not so today, and
will not be so on the next sunrise
Hayseed Legislators whose chief
accomplishment was unlimited con-
sumption of mountain dew and
whose knowledge of real commercial
conditions was as limited as is cur
rency at the moment undertook the
regulation of things in general and
have placed the market in the hands
of Captain Kidd and his gang Of pir-
ates bold who have never
been known to make any
present On it's merits cot
ton should be selling for fifteen
cents today but influences wholly
foreign to cotton have arisen and
driven the market to point where
cotton, while the cheapest thing on
earth will eventually work much
lower. In the face of present condi-
lions the man who buys cotton will
find he is slowly walking through a
slaughter house into an open grave.

NEW MILLS HOTEL
A DECIDED SUCCESS
Philanthropy Which Has
Proved Profitable.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.--(SpeciaD -
Although it has been open less than
three weeks, the new Mills hotel, at
Seventh avenue and Thirty-sixth
street, has already attained a greater
measure of success than it's two
predecessors. 1t was built to meet
the demand for accommodations for
men of small means in the uptown
section of the city. That such de-
mand existed is evidenced by the
number of applicants for rooms, ex-
ceeding the capacity of the big ~ho-
tel.
Practical PHILANTHROPY is the
keynote of the Mills hotel project,
originated and put into execution by
B. o. Mills, the banker and financier,
with the assistance and counsel of
his daughter, Mrs. Whitelaw Reid,
wife of the American ambassador to
Great Britain.
The first Mills hotel was opened
decade ago in Blocker street, with
1,554 rooms, and the second opened
with coo rooms in 1898. Both have
been filled almost constantly, and,
although no public statement of re-
ceipts and expenditures has been
given out by Mr. Mills, it is under
stood that the hosteleries have not
only paid their own way, but, have
returned between 1 and 2 per cent
interest on the original investment.
1t has been Mr.. Mills plan, not to
dispense charity but to provide COM
Portable and even luxurious accom-
modations for men of small means at
actual cost
