"Miriam ih tin- most iwpular girl lti her so:." said a young matron.
"She certaiuh Is,'' ."id another of the crowd of young women who were
tllBCUtalng Mlrii.ni. "And she deserves to be. She'B adorabiy pretty, dresses
axQUisitely, and is so lovable and charming and sunny-tempered, that I don't
wonder every one is figuratively at her feet."
"You should have seen the gifts she received Christmas. I couldn t
bglu to tell you the number of handsome tblnr.i; and in addition, fifty
lionndE of candy from those on th fringe of her acquaintance. She could
havo set up a confectionery shop."
"And it doesn't turn her head a bit, does it?"
"No. it doesn't." . ,
"There s e aide to Miriam, however," spoke up another, thats worth
thinking about. U's not sour grapes on my part, for 1 am very fond of Miriam.
But now and then, I see little strawc of character, that make me wonder just
tflflch way the wind would blow, if sometime a tornado camo along. I often
wonder if popularity is an unmixed good for a gir.1."
"When Miriam's father died," this spetker went on, "as wo all Know,
there wasn't quite the fortune the family oxpected; so Miriam decided fllie
must do something, i nd as. jou are all aware, got that position she has n
Blank's big publishing house. All hor family and friends thought it awfully
plucky of her, and her stock went up higher than ever.
"At lilank'B, evervbodv immediately proatrtted themselves before her
SB elsewhere, and she is the Joy and pot of the staff. But sho rcaliy docs
very little work. Sho airily writes one or two little things n day, anu
the rest of the time sho dispenses sunshine. Nobody cares They
all like her so much they trot around and do her work, and fairly fight for
the privilege. Even the olllce boys adoro her, and count it the event of
their lives to get a chance to walk home with her at ui8M. At five- o c.ocit
Hhe has tea In her olllce, and tho staff drop in. She has . regular littlo tea
sorvlce down thero, and it is quite charming, sort of English, you know.
And Blank's Is so different from most places, and Miriam Is eo altogether
charming that nothing is said.
"I'm not saying eH this in nny moan way, hut 1 am just wondering
how it will work out. Miriam is lovely and sweet and unselfish at least
that Is the way it seems. If any of the other ladies there are blue, tho first
thing the despondent one knows, a great bunch of violets or sweet peas, or
some other flower Is laid on hor desk. I bellove a girl should be just as
Miriam is, sweet and charming and thoughtful end altogether adorable, and
that every' one should worship at her shrine. That's the right of girlhood.
But-"

"Her mother took apartments," sho went on, "and is doing the house
keoping; though she never in her life did anything of the kind before. There
are a couple of younger children, and eo Miriam's mother finds her mex
perlonced hands rather full. But Miriam is looked upon u the martyr It
' b 'Poor Miriam! Sho has to work,' and so when she returns from her ofllco
she is waited upon as a queen. They fuss over her and pet her, for her sway
hero is quite as unquestioned as elsewhere Sho never does one ea thly
thing in that house. Every one there feels she must do all she can to make
up for the hardship poor Miriam endures at work. ,,,,,

country holding excess stocks, and If
she Is allowed to oxport the desired
300,000 Ions additional this yoar, thero
will ho suillclont supply for ordlnarv
reqnlromonts providing Cuba gives a
full outturn, but If Russia is limited
to 1R0.000 tons additional, as Germany
Is stubbornly fighting for, somo scar
city will bo folt especially It tho Cuba
crop does not como up to expecta
tions. The convention at Brussels has mot
and adjourned several times, unable
to agroo us yet, and tho latest report
from thoro recolvcd- today, If? that
Russia has offered to rcduco hor de
mands by RO.000 tons and tho Gorman
delegates havo requested tho confer
ence to hold over its final decision un
til the matter can b0 referred to tho
government at Berlin, which was
agreed to.
Operators In London nnd on this
sldo aro becoming tired ot waiting
for Brussols to act nnd havo given
more nttentlon to tho Cuba crop re
ports which are becoming decidedly
interesting.
Last week the visible production In
Cuba reached 238,000 tons, which was
143,000 tons below the corresponding
dates two years ago, when the crop
outturned nbout 1.800,000 tons, which
the present crop Is estimated to give.
This week the total receipts to date
amount to 320,000 tons, or 157,000 tons
less than In 1910, and unless this de
ficiency Is made up later, It more than
offsets the possiblo Increase in Rus
sian exports over and above the 150
200,000 tons' Russian increase which
has already been discounted.
Tho weather in Cuba during Janu
ary anjl February, 1010, was quite
similar to what has been experienced
during tho last six weeks except a lit
tle cooler then, and Incidentally there
were complaints of scarcity of labor
ers the same as at present, but at
that time the yield and juice wero
eported good and steadily improving,
and tho sugar was turning out fasterj
than In former years, while thus far
this season the juice In most.places
has not been of good density and the
extraction has boon much less than
usual. Latest advices by cablo re
port some Improvement in weather
and condition of cane, and if thero
is a continuance of the lower temper
ature wo may expect an increase of
the weekly recipts with tho total out
put for tho season problematical tho
estimate of 1,800,000 tons being loft
unchanged until conditions become
more settled.
Offilal figures of total receipts in
tho entire island of Cuba to tho end
of January aro 202,152 tons, against
3S0.GGS tons for tho same time in 1910.
The . backwardness of the Cuba
crop and the increased demand for
refined strengthened our market for
raws, and after a sale of Porto Rlcos
at 4.3Gc early Mn tho week, Cubas
were sold at 3 1-lGc (4.42c) and ad
vanced with much activity' to 2Vac c
& f. for Cubas (4.485c landed) and
Porto Rlcos at samo parity for prompt,
first half and second half February
shipment. Buyers are willing to go
on but tho holders in Cuba are now
asking 3 3-1 Gc to 3V4C c. & f.
Refiners have provided for their Im
mediate wants, but not far ahead, so
that a continued demand may be ex
pected for tho present at least. '
Europe declined to 14s. 10Vd. for
February and Beet thereafter steadily
advanced to 15s. Gd., tho latter be
ing the parity of 5.33c for Centrifu
gals at Now York, or ,845c above our

ence to last very long, Indicating fm-
tt.er advance hero if Europe remains

i ne oecona 01 "i-inatore.
Tho second production of tho old
opera "Plnaforo" was given last night
to an audience that crowded the Opera
House to its capacity. In many re
spects the stage of a regular theater
proved much better adapted to tho
pioduction than did tho deck of tho
old bark Mohican, upon which the
first performance was given last Tues
day evening. From an acoustics stand
point the change was incomparably
better, and the audience thorofore en
joyed the pretty littlo produclton to
the full.
It would bo difficult to imagine a
bettter production at the hands of
tmu'.curs than that of last night. In
deed, many comments wero heard
'comparing tho results with various
professional companies, and entirely
favorable to the local performers.
After the first few minutes of nerv
ousness apparent when tho curtain
wont up on the first act, the merry
opera proceeded with a spirit ana
dash that made it most enjoyable to
all.
Bijou Had Very Good' Bill.
Last night's program at the Bijou
was very good from beginning to end,
each one of the acts presented being
tho best in its class. Billy Rader, as
usual, scored in hor selections. Tho
Doric Trio wero recalled time and
time again, while tho electrical effects
in tho sketch from "Tho Cradle to the
Grave," by Athon and Johnson, were
simply marvelous. Tho samo pro
gram will be repeated tonight and to
morrow night and should fill tho
Bijou nightly.
The Empire featured the Heyman
Sisters In conjunction with an elegant
picture service. The sisters, who arc
improving as their stay increases,
wero in very good voice last night
and wero well received. The pictures
wero all that could bo desired.

An Amrlcan theater Is being plan
