AT THE HOTELS.


Scott Dalgieish. OF Cairo. Egypt who
represents the Hirsch cotton syndicate,
was recently seen at the New willard,
and in speaking Of his visit 70 this coun-
try said. The purpose OF my coming 70
America az this time is TO confer with
John Hays Hammond and Daniel J. suIly.
Of New York. with regard to bringing
about change in the cotton industry IN
the United States.
las I understand H." continued M.
Dalgleish, 1T is the idea Just now to es-
tablish warehouses in the cotton-raisins
sections Of America, including as well the
cotton-manufacturing centers. for the
storing away OF the cotton crop. It Is
intended thereby 70 establish a system
whereby cotton may be marketed
throughout the year and when desirable,
| instead OF selling It in a small way. as
has been the practice heretofore.
I'VE believe that by this method al
least S5O,OOO000 may be saved annually IN
marketing the cotton. Mr.. Hammond is
president Of the General Cotton Securities
Company and Mr. sully is the vice presi-
NeAA dl9 general manager.
Ellison Egbert Smith, Of Cleveland,
Ohio, who is at the Raleigh, in discussing
the Ohio political situation last night.
said that the attitude o. Garfield, II he
had more strength. would endanger the
/ success OF the Republican ticket this fall.
Garfield was fairly beaten in an open
/ fight said Mr.. Smith, and as a good
] Republican he ought 20 submit 20 the
dictates OF the convention and come out
and support the ticket. That's what
/ every other man is doing who was beaten
in the convention. and there is no reason
why Garfield should not do the same
thing II looks almost as II he felt
peevish now because his pet scheme did
not go through. He was wrong. any
way, in not allowing his name to be
/ presented 10 the convention. A good
fighter in politics is never afraid Of de-
feat. provided he has put up a good
fight beforehand. Garfield withdrew, and
IL looked as though he had retired while
under fire. He threw away his gun and
ran. with his back to the enemy. He
was growing in the estimation OF many
Ohio politicians" concluded Mr.. Smith.
but do not mind being quoted as
saying that a sudden halt 20 this growth
has been called by his conduct. and IN
I less he redeem himself in some manner.
which, however. is almost impossible. he
will be asked 20 80 away back and sit
down. to use a much-worn phrase"
Lovely woman has the same weaknesses
in Pekin and Canton as IN New York
: and Chicago, according TO J. L. Harris.
b OF Shanghai. who is engaged in the ex-
G port business at that place. When seen
q at the Arlington. Nj Harris said:
THE coiheur-or hairdresser. II you
II like-the m.lliuer, dressmaker. and boot
II maker are as important 70 her." said Mr..
" Harris. "as TO her American sister. Like
a the latter. she dotes upon manicuring
II but on account Of social conditions there
n are no professional manlcures to employ
~ twice or thrice a week Either she AZ
IS tends 10 her own nails OF she depends
n upon a junior wife. a servant or Z
re slave TO do the work for her. Her idea
II finger nail is not that Of the Occident
II az least so far as shape is concerned
10 Where the Western woman wants he
n nails a simple oval which is almOs
.e parallel with the curvature OF the tip o
the finger, a Chinese woman Of fashion
wants hers 10 extend well beyond tn,
finger tips"
Changing the subject, Mr.. Harris salt
y that If Il we're the intention Of Japar
10 get a firm hold on China for ulterio
purposes, she had started in TO do so
}" little too late.
10 China is waking Up in all corners o
,e its Immense empire. Soldiers are bein
r. drilled everywhere by European officer,
" and schools are opened where n
Chinese youth is taught the manual {
arms instead Of the ancient Chimes
classics. Railroads and canals are cut
ting through the country everywhere
and Il Will not be many years befor
he China will be as formidable an opponer
to Japan as japan appears 10 be to-da
lie to China In fact China's future is al
irving in double-Quick time. China wi
lie be able 10 take care Of herself, and sh
will not need the help Of any foreig
country. The only thing that I al
afraid Of when the Chinese awakenin
has come to its full development is ths
they will proclaim a Monroe doctrine Il
Asia. and will enforce il, too. No powt
In the world could prevent China an
Japan from forcibly ejecting every Eur,
pean from their soil"
