TALES OF THE TINES.
A Bashfai Tenor who Gives Long Dts-
lance Concerts~

A romantic little story comes from INc-
troit. In the Detroit Electrical Worss
there is night watehman who Possesses
an exceptionally fine tenor voice, and when
he has nothing else To do he sings 10 keep
himself awake. Up in the big telephone
exchange a dozen girls are told OF fcr
night duty They are, like the tenor, fond
of the songs Of the day; but, unlike him.
they arc not allowed TO sing, and they
grow lonely after tho calls begin To be few
and far between and the murInur OF tha
street traffic below has ceased. Some
months ago IL Is related. one OF the girls
who had answered II call from the els,s-
trical works overheard the watchman sing.
ing his favorite song. She listened as long
as she could without arousing the ire ot
the unmusical individual az the other end
of the line and then contded her discovery
10 the rest of the girls. There was = short
but eager council OF war, and the girl who
made the discovery was doputed to call up
the harmonious watohnan end ash him

Gus as ho is shy. II Is said thai there Is
only one girl at the central" who can In.

who made the original long distance con-
cert discovery. When tho other girls begin

electrical works, and the watchman sings
for her, unconscious Of tho fact that all the

BOUND BY TREATY
JAPAN AND CHINA EXCHANGE
RATIFICATIONS.
o Change Made in the Text of the Treaty
as Originally Drafted by the Commits
sioners of the Respective Powers, but
the Japanese Government Has Agreed
Otherwise to Abate Claims TO Chinese
Territory, Conditional Upon Being Al
lowed to Settle the Terms of Such Re-
Iinquishment With China Direct.

Washington, May 9.-An official dis
patch from Toxic received at the Jap
anese legation this afternion states that
the ratifications Of the treaty between
Japan and China were exchanged at
Che Foo on Wednesday. No change
was made in the text of the treaty, as
originally concluded. Taking itno ac-
count, however, the recommendations
made by Russia, Germany and France.
the Japanese government have agreed
to the recommendation of the perman-
ent possession Of the Lao Tung pein-
sula on condition that the arrangement
regarding the terms and form of renun-
citation shall be reversed for adjust
ment between itself and the government
of China. This latter stipulation is con-
strued TO mean that Japan viii not sur
render the peninsula until a suitable in
demnity shall have been paid. and that
il may have been agreed between Japan
and China that the possession of Port
Arthur itself will be retained by the
Japanese for a term of years, leading
beyond the date when the indemnity
has been paid in full, thus assuring to
Japan not alone the payment Of the
indemnity itself, but also sufficient time
to safeguard itself against anything
like war of reprisal. 1t will be re-
membered that the treaty Of peace itself
provides that Wei Hal Wei shall be held
until the first one hundred millions OF
the indemnity and the next two annual
installments have been paid, so that
with the added guarantee of the pos
session of Port Arthur, even although
temporary, the japanese government
would appear 10 have take every pre-
cuation for the future.
The foregoing statement is official.
coming direct from Toxic by cable. The
understanding is that it embodies the
reply which Japan recently gave TO the
protest of Russia, and the allied powers

Louisville, KY. May e.-After argu-
ments were completed today in the pre-
liminary trial OF Gordon, and the case
was closed, Judge Thompson announc-
ed thrat he could not hold the prisoner
and that he would dischargehim, as an
object lesson 10 other adulterers.
Never was crowd more demonstra-
tive in its appreciatiin than was the
immense throng in the police court
when Judge Thompson announced in a
clear tone the verdict in the case Cheer
after cheer went up and hand after
hand was thrust out to the judge 10
show how much his verdict was appre-
ciated. There was evidently not a soul
in the court save the attorneys for the
prosecution and perhaps some friends
of the dead man but was pleased with
the verdict.
In vain did the bailiff endeavor to re-
store order, but il was of no avail. and
even after the vast throng reached
the streets the cheering was kept up.
In explanation. Judge Thompson said
there was no evidence OF guilt on Cor
don's part, but the adulterer and adul-
teress stood on the verge OF an abyss
of ruin and death. and that their fate
was only what could be expected. Thus
ends the last chapter to the most SEN
sational tragedy in the history of Ken
