and about twenty-five of their men. A
unique thing about the charge was that
somebody got hurt. First, Michigan boy
scored a bullseye with his revolver that
brought down Gen. Pettigrew, one of Lees
brightest brigadiers Second, there were
fewer rode back from the charge than rode
in. Just how the figures should be it is
impossible to tell, but Gen. Heth saws that
his men killed all but three of the blue
coats who entered his works. No more
than two companies rode in, and perhaps
not ell of them. Cavalry charges into the
jaws of death often look grander in poetry
than IN official history. Tennyson says
sadly of the Light Brigade:

A Japanese Society.

There are so many English people who
have visited Japan or who have fallen
in love with it from reading the eulogies
penned by Sir Edwin Arnold, Mr.. Nor
man and others, that the society which
is in course of formation for '"the en-
couragement of the study of japanese
art, science and industries, of the COM
merce and finance, the social life, the
literature, the language, history and
folklore of the Japanese, ought to be a
success. Certainly the programme does
not lack comprehensiveness, for almost
any one of the subjects enumerated
would be sufficient to keep an ordinary
society going.
The organizing council contains several
names closely associated with the coun-
try, such as Mr.. Ernest Satow, Professor
W. Anderson and Professor Church, as
well as those of leading Japanese resi-
dents in England. Very suitably, the
headquarters of the society are to be at
the Japanese cOnsulates in London,
Liverpool and Glasgow, for no people
are more anxious to spread knowledge
of Japan abroad than the Japanese gov
ernment.-London Chronicle.

A clever adaptation of the electric light
for the purposes of theatrical display is
the torch" lamp, and consists of a large
incandescent bulb with four lenses fused
onto it, all the surface around them being
frosted. The effect Of this combination Of
a true spheroidal form of globe with frost
ing and lenses is to project the light in the
form of four condensed beams. An Amer
lean firm has sent large number of these
lamps to Europe. The lamps were mount
ed on torches which contained small stor-
age batteries. Little vanes at the base of
the lamps revolved with the least motion
of the air and gave rotary motion to the
lamps, the beams of which would then
fash in every direction. This lamp ia also
used with excellent effect as a locomotive
headlight-New York Telegram

KANSAS A WET STATE.
Saloons Already Flourish In the Towns
Prohibition May Re Abolished.

-RfOntD1tlOn Way sbe hDOIfSDeO.
ToPEKA, Nov. 13-Two surprising re-
suits OF the election In Kansas, which
hitherto escaped notice, are beginning to
attract general attention. One is the
carrying OF the proposition to hold con-
stitutonal convention and the other is the
cessation of the enforcement of the pro-
hibitory laws. In their eagerness to elect
the state and electoral ticket the Repub-
licans paid no attention to the matter Of
the constitutional convention and it car
rIed by default on their part. The OBJ
ject is a revision of the state constitution
SO as to eliminate the Objectionable
and obsolete features and to add needed
provisions. The convention will be taken
advantage of by the anti-prohi bitionists
of all parties to attempt the elimination
of the prohibition amendment, and the
hottest kind of tight is anticipated.
Lorenzo Llewelling, the new Third
party governor elect, was always opposed
to prohibition and has announced that
the enforcement of the law must hereafter
be left with local officers and that the
state will not use the power in its hands
TO enforce the law on localities. This, in
effect, means local option. and already the
liquor industry throughout the state is
booming Saloons have been opened in
many cities and towns, and Kansas today
is practically "wet state"
