Thousands gathered about the White House, fascinated by the thought that they could be so near the scene on which the eye of the world is centered to-day. A large curtain of green can vass festooned over the outside of the biv window- of the East Room marked for those on the outside the altar be fore which the bridal couple were pledging their troth. For this ivason the crowd around the eastern entrance was larger than elsewhere and packed lb.- sidewalMs running between lihe Treasury Department and the White House. Tin' ci.iwd which gathered at the south gale to witness the arrival of the diploma tic corps was keenly dis appointed to note that they did not ap- pear in uniform. Indeed. this has been n subject of discussion for some time, th more Intimate mends or tne President In the cot ps insisting that! to appi-ar In uniform was the courte- ! ous thing to do. There arc In the corps, j however, those always oppose the j idea or uniforms except at the dlplo- j malic reception, and rather than show j to the public a marked division of sen- tlmetit, Hie other members of the corps . yielded. It was a typical Washington crowd which gathered about the White Hus... There was in Jostling, no dls irder. and comparatively Tew police- ; men were on duty. No one was per mitted In the White House grounds' except Hie guests. A fvw Intimate; friends and relatives entered by lh ; north door, but the majority of the guest s iMitered by the eastern door, when- liny were received by Captain Kltzliugh Lee. I'. R.

Home of th early watchers around '. the White House witnessed an in - . lerestlng incident. About half past 9 o'clock two men appeared on the west : esplanade leading from the White House to the executive office and promenaded up and down In the sun- i Khtne. their nats on. in older hold-1 Idle the younger by his left arm and talking very earnestly.

Some of the gifts wero costly, but tho.e which so evidently were sent with the Idea thereby of obtaining .in invitation to the wedding were returned to the senders. UNFORTUNATE ANNOYANCE. While ninny of the presents received by the bride are very valuable, some of them being particularly so, by the j reason or tne circumstances surround ing them the value of the gifts has been greatly exaggerated. So r nark able have some of the accounts of the presents been that their publication has brought to Miss Roosevtdt an un fortunate annoyance. Her malls far many day, have been flooded with letters, from women and men In all REPRESENTATIVE NICHOLAS L0NGW0ETH. paits of the country, urging her to give to them ... . , ...

Mis Thurs ton is a neat., winsome little acre and Is much liked by the local theatre going public. Her new play is said to be a clever production. Miss Marie Cahtll, always "clever. charming, bewitching, "cute," if you please, will come to Charlotte March 10. Ami .it- goes without saying; that she will, play to a capacity house. Miss Cahilt is the only actress who ever received real, spontaneous ap plause from a Charlotte audience for singing coon songs. All Charlotte likes Tim Murphy and will be glad to learn that he will fill another engagement here before the close of - the season Mr. . Murphy and Miss Sheriod ore playing . In a revival of "A Texas Steer," which af fords fine ' opportunity for Murphy's dry, deliberate humor. A treat seldom offered the theatre going public is in etora for them when the famous comedians, "The Ly man Twin 'Brothers," are seen here in their wonderful musical comedy suc cess, "The Rustlers," which they are appearing In this season and which is said to be one Of the funniest and most elaborate productions of Its class yet produced, comprising a large com pany, a dainty chorus ,of pretty girls, a host of funny comedians, singers and dancers together with numerous novelties entirely '..new and orlginaLj with this attraction. The pretty scenery, magnificent, costuming, inter mingled with catchy music, sweet sing ing and a dazzling display of electrical effects, transforming;, the graceful dances into a blaze of wondrous splen dor carried along by aide splitting sit uations and a funny story to make up "One of the greatest comedy produc tions of the day. The wonderful suc cess with which this attraction has met in the Hast by press and public has placed these clever young stars on the top round of popularity as comedians and producers.

"The Triumph of Betty," the new play which is being so successfully presented by dainty Adelaide Thur ston this season, is generally stated to be a particularly happy blend of mer riment and sentiment. It la a com edy In four acts, by W. A. Tremayne and Irving L. Hall, differing entirely from most of the recent stage produc tions. The authoi-3 of "The Triumph of Betty" have laid the scene of their new comedy In an old Cathederal town In England and into the midst of the staid ecclesiastical society which holds Its court. They have transplanted an American girl from the lands of the great West. The beauty of the place. Us quietness and historic traditions that surround It make a great impression on her, for It Is the birth place of her ancestors, and the feeling of heredity Is strong within her, but the narrow-minded and conventional views that are hel4 by many - of the. residents are absolutely -repugnant. She is thoroughly natural and used to a Hp of freedom and Is forever coming in sharp contrast with the laws of conversation and etiquette which govern those with whom she Is now as sociated. It can easily be seen what a fin chance this gives Adelaide Thurston to display real touches of pathos and genuine comedy. There Is no "star" who visjts this city who is more liked and admired by all classes than this dainty little actress. Her supporting company is said to be tne nnest sne nas ever earned and the production will be up to the usual order of excellence. The advance sale opens on Wednesday. BIG CONTRACT LET.

As far as prices . go, changes during the past week have been insignificant, but sentiment has undergone a radical change. Tha de spondent, hopeless feeling has given place to strong conviction in t many minds that the worst has been seen, and although the market may flutter around the present level tor awhile, the next real move will be in an up- . ward direction. The reason for the reversal of sentiment appear sound, 1 Not only have all the weak long ac-,' count In futures been wiped out. but a. vast quantity also of the Weakly held spot cotton has passed into the hands of consumer. Teus the greatest me- ' nace to the market has been removed. - -In addition, the period of bearish com parison with, last year's, movement; is :. practically at an end. and within : a week or so receipts will run sharply . below those of last year. The new crop Is now coming upon -the boards to divide honors with the v remarkably favorable dry good po sition In controlling price.

Gives . this, -'anything ' which may' threaten an J tissufflcient , supply for the new season would be -sure to be quickly reflected in the opr tibn markets.

The fall and winter months are 60 points cheaper than the old crop, but any delay in -getting the ground properjv' prepared, or putting the seed in, would operate to reduce this discount, v..
