COLORED PARTY IS FORMING

Havana, Jan. 24.-Fears n, rooo
conflict. growing out Of the recen,
disorders resulting from the refusal
OF the management Of the principal
American hotel in Havana TO cnter-
tain negroes, have in very greu
mca sure abated and the possibilities
of further trouble from this partic-
u'ar source nave practically disap-
pearod. For n few days the situation
was threatening and there WIS n
strong undercurrcnt Of INDIGNATION
among the negroes. which, Il was
feared might not be kept in check.
That 1t not only was restrained but
that the difficulty FOR tho present at
any rate, was successfully smoothed
over, Is mainly due to the personal eff
forts OF President Gomez.
The President sent his secretary to
confer with the management of tho
hotel and summoned 70 the palace Of
General Cebreco and other negro lead
ers. with whom he conferred person
ally. He pointed out that the intru-
sion of colored mon where their pres
ence was not desired was undignifiel
and merely served to rouse the an-
mostly Of Americans, with whom Il
was highly desirable chat all Cuhans
should remain on the most friendly
terms He also reminded them how
much the prosperity of the city Of
Havana was dependent on the nun
hers OF American tourists. whom any
danger Of social disorders would Ger
to inly deter from coming. II was ex-
planned that the hotel people had no
annosity towards men Of color. but
that they were compelled to recognize
the preiudices OF the patrons of the
hotel.
Tho press also appealed to all patriotic
colored Cubans not to persist In enforc-
Ing their rights Mt the cost OF the rest
OF the community. The result was that
the coored leaders engaged to use al,
their influence TO prevent their follow
ers from further interfering with the
hotel.

A SOUTHERN PRECEDENT IN
ELEVATOR ETIQUETTE.

The warfare between chivalry and
convenience, involved in the question
as TO whether a man should remove
hls hat in public elevators when a lady
enters, has recently been brought 10
general notice by the fact that in At
lanta, one of the leading cities of the
South, where chivalric traditions are
supposed to linger most persistently,
convenience has triumphed, and it is no
longer bOOrish to remain covered. In
one of the large office buildings OF At
lanta notices have been placed in the
elevators stating that they are public,
and gentlemen need rot remove their
hats.
Il has long been held that the soIu-
tion Of the delicate question depended
on whether an elevator was substi-
tute for a room on the one hand or for
hall on the other In the former
case 1t would obviously be the proper
thing for gentleman to remove his
hat, but in the latter there NAV be
nothing in reason or courtesy 10 re-
quire it. This method Of reaching a
conclusion was the refinement of
theorists. Common sense has always
maintained that it is straining courtesy
to contribute to the general fund of
inconvenience by removing the hat in
elevators. 1t increases the lam and
drives rigid elbows into aching ribs.
Softly be it said, the ladies themselves
are not infrequently the victims of this
angular by-product of Difference. To
offer one of them a seat in street
car has no bareback. WEAKNESS Is a
condition and not theory. Real
politeness. after all, is grounded in
consideration for those around us, and
a long suffering public will count il
unto Atlanta for righteousness if, as a
representative city of the South. it can
establish the rule that mere man. bv

consult convenience without a breach
of courtesy.

they could not possibly make contracts
to manufacture goods for future de-
livery unless they were allowed to

against loss on the raw material
Whatever the merits of these conten-
tions, the appellate courts decision
Should serve the purpose of preventing
spectators from seeking to take
shelter behind the plea that their con-
tract was against public policy when
they lose, and yet pocket the profits
when they win
In the same connection the atten-
tion of the general public is directed
to the reception accorded James A.
Patten, of Chicago, when ne made his
appearance on the cotton exchange at
Manchester. The odium which attached
tc him because of his share in boosting
the price of wheat until this necessary
of life was out of proportion to the
normal law of supply and demand was
coupled, in the minds of the Man
chester exchange members. with a sus-
picion that he was manipulating the
cotton market over there. He was
hissed, hooted, and almost mobbed. It
was an experience which must have
penetrated the dormant conscience even
of q hardened sneculator
Incidents like these, IN one case
affecting the exchange member ard in
the other coming home to the outside
speculator, may ultimately teach a
more effective lesson than laws and be
of greater service than Congressional
