In the Streets of Tokio,

The streets of Tokio are not narrow like those of China or of the older parts of Euro pean cities. One is not iostled as he moves along them, and the crowd of slant eyed men and women clad in dressing gowns of all colors of the rainbow is a good natured one, and they laugh and bow low to each other as they meet, The Japanese back is elastic. The india rubber man at the circus would wear himself out in Japan, and the Japanese bowers seem to never get through. They salaam and salaam and the lower classes knock their heads against the earth as they go down on their knees in paying their respects to their superiors. It bothers one to be the recipient of SO much attention, and the American feels his awkwardness when he attempts the Japanese bow. It is, however, not unpleasant, and with it all there is little servility and fawning. I am struck with the open, kindly expression of the Japanese face. They seem to treat trav- elers as brothers. They welcome them and are willing to concede that there are other good things outside of Japan. They are manly about it, and the only unpleasant thing is the curiosity which one excites among them. Whenever I walk along tho streets of Tokio crowd of men and boys follow me, and if stop to buy I find that the street is soon blocked. Frank G. Carpen- ter's Letter.

 'Here you are, sheriff, ;" said the murderer, handing him one, t'bnt look out for 1t. It may kill you; it's one of Slowey's," the man who furnished them to prisoners.
 At o'clock Father McClinchy arrived and administered communion to the condemned man. For two hours then the murderer of his mother strolled around the jail, smoked and talked. careless of death and regardless of the people who watched him. Some men said he was brave. He was not; he was callous. He was a purely heartless, cold bsooded man, who saw no more in a mothers face than in a graven image At S:30 a. m. the hangman entered, He had thin white rope in his band, with 6 shining hook at the end of it.
 Deftly and quickly he put it around the nurderer's neck and drew the moose quite tight. Then the sheriff started for the jail door, and the murderer, by the side of the priest, followed, the white rope dangling from his neck and his arms pinioned behind him.
 He stood calmly under the gallows Not a muscle quivered, and his face did not for an instant It was S:32 when the brass hook on the end of the rope around Hawkins neck was snapped on to a ring hanging from the rope on the gallows and the murderer was shot into the air. He was pronounced dead at 8:3S, but his body was left hanging until S:45 The body was taken to Islip.

He Has Dclirium, and the Badgers Crime
 May Yet Turn to NIur,l.r.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-The four ''b ,dgers," Henry Hermann, Edward Meredith, Ella Hammond and Addie Stanton, who tried to rob Phil DalY, were arraigned for Ileading yesterday afternoon before Judge Maritime There were quite number of spectators in the court room when they were brought in, handcuffed to the officers. Mir. Le Barbier, Hermann's counsel, interposed a plea of guilty for his client. The other three pleaded not guilty. Ambrose H. Purdy, counsel for Meredith, demanded 8 separate trial for his client, which will be held some time this month The prisoners were returned to the Tombs.
 The indictments found by the grand jury against them charge them with attempted robbery in the first degree, and assault in the first degree.
 Daly was not in court. His physician sent word that he was too ill to go out of the house.
 Dr. Samuel W. Smith, of No 24 West Tenth street, who has attended MT. Daly since he was wounded, stated yesterday that his patient was a very sick man and the greatest precaution would have to be taken to prevent brain fever from setting in Yes terday the sick man was slightly delirious at intervals and seemed to have the impression that doctor from Baltimore had been en- gagged to prescribe for him, but was a long time in reaching New York. The patients head is still swathed in bandages and every few moments solution of lead and opium is applied to the unhealed wound

 NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Russel B. Harrison, son of the president-elect, was guest at the Gilsey yesterday. He arrived at 7:30 o'clock, and after breakfasting called upon Messrs Clarkson and Dudley at the Everett. Later MT. Harrison had talk with Stephen B. Elkins concerning ranch lands in which they are interested. Then, on finding that ex- Senator Platt had gone to Washington and would not return until to-day, MT. Harrison went back to bis own hotel. In the evening be dined with friends Though MT. Harri- son denied that politics had anything to do with his trip, the tongues of the gossips wagged all day. They could not understand why, If the president-elect's son was on a political errand, Vice President-elect Morton and ex-Senators Platt and Miller should be away from the city MT. Harrison expects to remain in the east about one week.
 Vice President-elect Morton, accompanied by Mrs. Morton, left for Indianapolis at 9:5O a. m They went in President Depew's pri- yate car, No 100, over the New York Cen. tral railroad. They will remain away about 8 week, though MT. Morton did not know just how long.
 Mr. Morton said before starting that his visit had nothing of politics in it. His pres ept relations with MT. Harrison warranted g renewal of their old friendship. Mrs. Nor ton, who has never been ip the west, looked forward with pleasure to the trip.

Because He Had Opponent.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Gen. James w. Husted, the veteran legislator, has volun- tarily retired from the race for the speaker ship of the New York state legislature In an interview he says:
 ''I am out of the fight I became candi- date for the position with the understanding that would not be seriously opposed.
 The loss of the state ticket was not antlci- pated. After the election tie political sltu- tion suddenly changed The entente cor diale was disturbed by the result
 Instead of one leading candidate for cabi- net position, as there would have been III case of success, defeat brought out two.
 II saw clearly that the speakershlp would be treated as a shuttlecock if this state of affairs continued, but, having announced myself as an aspirant for the position, and having received very fattering as surances of support from all sections of the state, thought it good politics to stay in the field, being under the impression that all personal ambitions would be surrendered in the general interest. was too much of optimist.
 ssThe lines of Aggression have become more and more divergent, and have made up my mind that, under the circumstances, 1t Is my duty to withdraw from the contest"

Cruelty Maltreated and Robbed.

UN1oNTowN, Pa, Dec. 12,-Miss Millie Ross, an elderly lady living on the outskirts of Smithfield, was awakened from sleep by cries of distress at her door. She hesitating to respond, the door was burst open, and three masked men entered and demanded her money. Miss Ross was so badly frightened that she could not comply. The robbers tied her hands behind her back, and with lighted candles burned her feet, hands and face, and also beat and bruised her until she was com- pelled to tell where the money was. She had
 less than $5 in the house. They then left, threatening her with death if she gave an alarm. Miss Ross did not venture out until morning. She is ill and in great suffering A searching party is on the track of the rascals, and they will be lynched if caught. The victim is a highly respected lady.
