Unfortunate Names.

"Well, thank heavens, | am plain
Mary Ann again." declared a young
woman to sympathizing friend on one
of the cross town cars yesterday. Il did
so hate that name-Luella. Missus said
Mary Ann wouldn't do at all, She
called it 'outre' or something like that.
She declared that must be given some
romantic name that would sound pretty
for calling. SO have been Luella for
half year. and I'm heartily glad that
left her and am going to Mrs. North
vests" The other girl gave Mortified
look at mention of this name. But, my
dear" she exclaimed, Il worked for Mrs
Northwest, and know all about her.
She has daughter named Mary, and it
will never do for you to be Mary too
She called me Maize, and she'll probab-
ly call you Callie or Susanna or soma
other ridiculous name" Then both
sighed.-Philadelphia Record.

THE city has been cleaned once
and ought to be kept clean, is well
said. But groundless indictment
of the serving sanitary officials is
manifestly unfair. The slightest
inquiry will at once cause the con-
viction that the small force now
employed is doing even more than
should be expected of it. TN lieu of
petty faultfnding there should be
in evidence the cooperation of all
citizens. By order of the Health
Board the inspectors give their at
tention largely to those districts OF
the city regarded as menacing to
the public health. Let responsible
citizens then, instead OF making
complaints about town" and get
ting vague kicks into print, lend a
hand in good spirit.

SOME passenger by the Coptic
contrived a scene on deck just as
the steamer was well into the
stream. Mr.. Hatch, Minister to
Washington, smiling from burden
of leis, was waving his hat to
cheering friends ashore. The
Little Giant was the central figure
and the spectacle one instinct with
life. When the demonstration was
fairly at its height the unknown
passenger came up behind the
envoy and suddenly unfurling an
American flag, draped the slight
form of Mr.. Hatch in the ample
folds of the stars and stripes. II
the cheering had been enthusiastic
before it now became wild.

WHAT VICTORY COST.

The recent war in the Orient,
which engaged the rapt attention
of the world for many months was
between China with with an entire
population of 400, 900, 900 and Japan
but as, 900, 900 people. The result
is of course well known. After a
succession of most signal and bril-
liant victories by land and sea, ia
pan accepted control of Corea,
ownership Of Formosa and large
indemnity. She had taken territory
on the mainland of China, but re-
linquished it at the mild suggestion
of the powers. Japan's winnings
afield and afloat included all the
ships of China's Northern squadron
and enormous quantities of cannon,
small arms, ammunition and equip
ment and stores.
Above all, however, Japan won
for herself a proud place in the
family of nations, and insured to
herself an era of natural advance
ment that will make her exceed
ingly prosperous many years.
The cost to Japan in human life
was surprisingly small. These are
the official figures for deaths in the
army from September Fl, 1894, to
the very end, including Yalu and

Japan's generals patterned their
operations after Napoleon's cam
paign in Italy. They were in the
field with an inferior force, but
always had the larger body of
fighting men at the point of en-
gagement. Napoleon was twenty
six when he taught this trick to
the Austrian veterans. But the
valorous japanese generals seem
from the returns to have mastered
still another degree in the science
of war. Their loss by KILLED in
the field" is simply nothing. Perhaps
the non-combative quality of the
enemy may be largely thanked for
this, but the result is nevertheless
astounding and creditable.

The following is the obnoxious amend
ment on which the people are to vote
Sept. e5th "The General Assembly may
by law from time to time In its discretion,
when requested SO to do by vote of the
City Council Of any city, appOrtion the
representatives to which such city is or
may hereafter be entitled, among the sew
eral wards I'm such city, and the represen-
tatives SO apportioned shall be voted for
and elected only by the electors I'm the ward
or wards to which they are apportiOned {:
Provided, however, that each ward In any
city SO apportioned shall, IL the number OF
representatives to which such city is en-
titled equals the number Of wards, have at
least one representative; but no town shall
he divided into districts for the choice of
Representatives" 1t will thus be seen that
representatives will only represent wards
and that cities can be gerrymandered to fit
the temporary majority.

Japsn's Great Enterprises.

Japan today is rapidly recovering from
the effects Of the war. Business Is pick
ing up In every direction, and enterprises
which were abandoned when the war broke
out are being taken up again. The gov
ernment has resumed the work Of oonstruc-
ton on its new railway lines. The Kiushu
and the Kwanzei Railway companies have
increased their capital.
Tokyo is to have an electric tramway
system. No less than six new railway
lines In and about Tokyo are to be con-
structed. Nearly all the cotton spinning
companies are increasing their spindles.
A new bank has been started In Kobe and
another In Hiogo.
A company to utilize the great water
power at Kobe is under way. Several jap
anese companies are preparing to set up
cotton mills in China, the profits Of which
will come here. Private enterprise Is de-
veloping upon every hand, and II Japan
can only have peace she will show great
material advancement during the coming
year.-John A. Cockerin In New York
