.ORPHEO THEATRE.

The frivolities of New York's Bo' hemia are faithfully reproduced in "Hater of Men," the new Triangle play by c. Gardner Sullivan, in which Thomas H. Ince presents Bessie Bar riscale at star at the Orpheo today.
 One of the most elaborate settings ever constructed on the Culver City stages is the interior of a Japanese restaurant, with rich oriental dra- peries, carved lockwood furniture, in 6ense burners of curious design and rare pottery of the Far East.
 An orchestra of Japsnese maidens furnishes the wierd music for a dance executed by the Geisha girls, who flut- ter and posture like dainty butter tlies.
 Here Miss Barriscalc comes with her party for an evening revel. and here it is she discovers that woman cannot associate with men in the free and easy name, without losing their respect.
 During the scenes of Bohemian night life the star displays a series of gowns that accentuate her blond beauty. In fact, she gives the sad- vance fashions in hats, frocks, furs and evening wraps. #

FOUR BALES BRING 40 CTS. PER POUND

w. A. Harkins yesterday sold four bales of one and three-sixteenths inch cotton to Frank Ragland, who paid MT. .Harkins at the rate of 40 cents per pound. The, cotton was grown on a farm purchased some months ago by D. B. NiNen, and situated just north of the free bridge.
 According to statements by several local cotton men, prices being paid here for cotton are from 1 to 2 cents higher than the same Icotton will bring delivered in the East. A we'll known buyer stated yesterday that he had offered one lot of cotton to a spinner at 37 cents per pound, to he met with counter proposal of 3 1-2 cents per pound. He sold the cotton here to another buyer for 2 cents more per pound than he was offered for the lot, delivered in New England.
 Most. buyers seem. to be, shipping cotton as rapiGly as they purchase it, with the result that bank clearings have increased greatly.
