Investigating Wall-st., Gov Hughes

about facts. but some OF the testi-
mony TO which they listened has de-
cided general interest for the coun-
try. A stock exchange member of
10 years standing stated that every
one who enters Wall-st., except as a
broker loses. In partnership con
tract TO preclude a juniors speculat-

OF $4,000 for the name and address OF
every verified winning customer OF
any Wall-st house-provided only that
the customer had SO traded for two
years as TO make his account an

member OF a prominent brokerage
house, stated that In all this time,
after very broad operations. not a
sirgie customer ever took out dol
lar OF net winnings. An ex.broker
stated that a l0-year search. covering

ances, as well as the records OF five

following ingenious account without
smile of amusement? The sentimen-
tai may have fitting thought of pity
but it is all in the game they say
and here is the record of one social
struggle as it is seen by some one writ
ing for an eastern exchange:
THE marchioness of Donegal, whose
struggles to enter the smart set in
London have not met wholly with sue
cess, intends once more to visit the
Dublin horse show, in the hope of at
tracing the attention of those eN-
elusive Irish families who so far have
failed to receive her.
Lady Donegafs name is probably
better known to Londoners than that
of any titled woman in the country.
No charity function is complete with
out her name among the list OF pa
tronesses. She and her small son are
to be seen at all bazaars and fetes,
and the son usually hands bouquet
to royalty and is patted on the head.
while the mother goes on her heroic
way unintroduced to the aforesaid
royalty.
During the last season the
marchioness has been starred at
something like so charity functions.
but the smart set declines to give the
Canadian marchioness anything more
valuable than an invitation to be-
come a patroness.'

younger crowd.
A new portrait of Miss Elizabeth
Simpson is reproduced today, and it
is of particular interest at present, for
this attractive young daughter of Colo
mel Simpson will leave shortly with
her father for the east, where she will
marry Lieutenant Harold Naylor, U. s
A, on November 10. The marriage will
take place at the home of the BRIDES
sister, Mrs. Valentine Chappell, in New
London. Conn. The ceremony will be
without ostentation, but the event will
be of wide interest, for the young cou-
pie have host of society friends, not
to mention the many family friends
and the acquaintances in the army set.
where the young officer and his bride
elect are favorites. Colonel Simpson
will return to this city Immediately
after the wedding. Lieutenant Naylor
and his bride will enjoy a honeymoon
before coming back here early in De-
cember, for their return is certain,
owing to the fact that Lieutenant Nay
lor is stationed at the Presidio.
The friends of Miss Simpson are
pleased that her home is to be estab-
lished here for an indefinite time, and
that She will be in town to participate
in the gayeties this winter, both at
the post and in the city.
The opening of the new Palace ho-
tel looms high in Importance among
the functions of November, and plans
are being formulated for this gala
event. The opening is not only of
social Importance. but also, it may be
said, of civic Importance, for the first
evening at the Palace marks a new
epoch for the city and a renewal of
the traditions of the city.
The program for the opening about
November 4 has not been definitely ar
ranged. but there are hints of the order
of affairs on that importaut date.

AMBASSADOR REID
STILL HOLDS. POST
Admits to lntimateS, How.
ever, That Resignation
May Be Forthcoming.

LONDON. Aug. 22.-Inquiry at the
American embassy today brought the
positive statement by attaches that
WhitelaW Reid, the American Ambas-
sador.' now in the United States, had
not resigned his post
1t was given out tat Mr. Reid will
return 10 London within six weeks
and that he fully expects to continue
his work here throughout the coming
winter, at least.
The ramor of the Ambassadors resig-
nation probably arose from the Ameri-
can visit at this time, taken in connec-
ton with the recognized lukewarmness
between Mr.. Reid and President Taft.
To his intimates on this side Mr..
Reid has admitted that. while he would
like to retain the ambassadorship un-
der Mr.. Taft's administration, he has
little hope OF his wish being granted.
He IS said to have admitted that the
differences between himself and Mr..
Taft We're so pronounced that he would
not ask for any favors at the Presi-
dents hands. nor permit others TO in
terCede Tor him.

THE FORTHCOMING RECEP-

The Central Labor. Union of this
city Is making elaborate plans for a
reception to President Samuel Gompers
of the American Federation of Labor
on his return to Washington in October

countries in Europe. A general com

plans are TO give him a welcome which

est demonstrations ever given by or

that a parade viii be arranged in which
$4,000 men viii be in line.
This is as it should be. Mr.. Com
pers is deserving of a tribute Of this
sort from his fellow members of or
gained labor. he has his critics and
his enemies and a great many persons
do not coincide with all his views on
questions affecting labor. But it would
be idle to say that organized labor has
not made distinct progress in the many
years he has been at the head of the
federation, and equally idle to DENY
that he has shown himself possessed OF
brains, courage, and ability in his eff
forts to advance the cause of humanity
in the directions that he feels it should
be advanced.
