To BE Buried Alive.

in few days whereby he will be hurried

He claims that he will be securel,

would be. 4 committee of reputable
physicians and journalists will have
the surveillance over the grave, shelter

Great caution is being used to avoid
interference and intrusion, and the

There have been rumors that the

experiment being made, and in case it
is made and DIR. Tanner cannot be re-
suscitated, they propose to arrest all

Evolution In Japan.

The lith OF February was a sort Of
Fourth of July in Japan. On that day
the new constitution was proclaimed,
whereby the government was changed
from an absolute to n constitutional
monarchy. Mr.. William Elliot Grifiis,
author OF THE Mikado's Empire"
writes an explanation in the June For
um OF the constitution whereby the
Japanese take by far the longest step
yet taken by an Asiatic people towards
free government. The 100000 COM
mon people now enjoy for the first
time the protection Of law and of many
of the rights Of free citizens. There is
both a property and an educational
qualification OF suffrage, and the House
OF Representatives consists Of about
three hundred members ut least thirty
years OF age, who pay national taxes to
the amount OF fifteen dollars, and are
chosen for four years. February Ilth
was day OF great rejoicing throughout
the empire. Cities and towns were
decorated, cannons were fired and mil.
lions of copies OF the new constitution
were distributed. 1t was a day, too, OF
great meaning to the japanese women.
For the first time the Empress ap-
pearcd in public with the Emperor.
The system OF voting adopted by
our Asiatic neighbors seems to lie an
improvement on our own, and leaves
but little chance for fraud. Each vot-
er must write his own name and the
namo of the candidate he votes for on
his ballot and stamp it with his own

All in The Game Of Life" You Know

this pleasantly regarding the names OF
two streets at Tacoma. one of which
has been named Whittier and the 9TH
er Langtry: at is probable that Mrs.
Langtry will offer no serious objection
to having the name OF the Quaker poet
for next door neighbor to her own,
but how will it be with the citizens OF
Tacoma who live on the two streets?
VIII not all the pious and solcmnly
tuneful eouls in Tacoma reside on

lous and worldly people flock to Lang
try street? While sacred concerts and
missionary meetings are being held on
the one thoroughfare, lawn-tennis
games and hops and charadc parties
and poker games will be in progress
only one block away. The man who
lives on Whittier street will go to bed
every night at Q o'clock. The male res
ident of Langtry street will not get
home till after midnight, and then he
will DO 80 thirsty that he can't sleep.
1t is said that when this odd aseocia-
ton OF names was pointed out to the
Massachusetts poet he declared that
he could stand it il Mrs. Langtry could
"She may have as much objection to
a quaker" he said, Gas ! have to an

The Capital.

The Portland World, in a sentence
referring to the capital of Washington,
asks the query: whats the matter
with Olympia" The question is to the
point. In what lies the demand for a
change? 1t may be said that the capt.
tai should be near tho geographical
center. But why? In these days of
easy communication, the geographical
center cuts but little figure. Rather
should the business center be chosen.
The business center Of Washington
will always be in the Puget Sound
basin; some city west of the Cascade
Mountains will be the future metropolis
OF the State. If it is not Olympia it
will be some other city on the Sound.
Olympia is sure to have several new
lines of railroad in the near future.
The beauty OF its location makes it
peculiarly fitted to become the political
and administrative center Of the State.
The fact to be emphasized il, that the
capital should be west OF the mount
aims. This established, what point
has greater claims than Olympia
