Changes are common enough in official
life at the national capital and many of
the transfers are comparatively unheeded.
The departure Of Mr.. Shinichiro Kurno,
VINO has so acceptably represented Japan
at the seat of this government, is to be a
marked exception to the rule. Mr.. Kurno
mas been prominent among the NEST popu-
lar members of the diplomatic corps, so
his transfer to Italy will be the cause Of
sincere regret in the social circles Of Wash
inston. Friendliness toward Japan Is now
an American trait: Minister Kurino has
contributed literally toward the growth of
that international affection which Is al
ways desirable.

Some Unreasonable Complaints.

Reasonable control of street traffic is a
power that should ever be in the hands of
the municipal authorities. This control
needs to be continually exercised as to all
of the many varieties of vehicles common
on the city's thoroughfares. Riders and
drivers who violate the ordinances as to
speed or the right of way ought to be re-
pressed in such fashion as to render I'M
likely any repetition of the offense. The
Star stands on that platform. But some
of the complaints made-especially as to
bicyclists-are unreasonable. It is not to
be expected that the reign of King Bicycle
Will be acceptable to all humankind 1t
would be amazing if the non-riders were
to accept without protest the new and in
evitable conditions. Discomfort of some
sort Is always active and in evidence. and
there is none among the thoughtful who
Will declaim against rational exercise of
the privilege Of Kicking" because the
kicker is frequently right. In this case
though, 1T has not been demonstrated that
any indispensable evil threatens. The pc
destrian may not properly complain be-
cause he must look up and down the street
before stepping off the sidewalk or off a
car. This is busy age, and it is becoming
buster every day. Washington is no longer
a village; it is city of Importance, with
many Of the desirable attributes of a great
center of population, and possessing also
some of the undesirable features that in

The man who attempts TO cross some of

the opposite side mainly through the power

several crossings. The wise man will take

GLOUcESTER'S SENSATION.
Sun on Savings Eank Checked -Marsh's Dc,
falcation Reaches Many thousands.

Gloucester Mass, Oct. 9.-The ex-
element, this afternoon, was some
what abated when it was found that
men Of wealth had oHered to pay the
depositors at the savings bank 81 cents
on the dollar if they were going to
draw out their deposits on account of
the suicide of Treasurer Marsh. which
offer was the means of restoring con-
lidence. Hence the deposits drawn
from the bank would not aggrerat c
more than $4,000 or $4,000. while there
was quite a number who made de-
posits.
One of the defalcations discovered
was i'll the Gilbert Trust funds. and
$4,000 of that is made good by Mr..
Marsh's bond which only leaves q de-
ficiency of about $4,000. 1t is thought
that the other funds of which Mir.
Marsh was the trustee and guardian

OF the late DR.. Chas. II. Hildreth, who
died a few years ago, leaving an estate

Marsh was guardian, reveals the fact,
it is said, that the property has about
all been wiped out. Those who claim
to know say that not more than $4,000
of the estate can be accounted for, and
about $4,000 must have been en-
bez2led. A further examination will
be made as soon as possible. DIR. Hill

of Mr. Marsh will take place, tomor-

HANGING BY NECK.
Leonard Augustus Furbush Of
WaterviIle Commits Suicide.
Discovered by Wife Before Life is Ex-
tinct, But Soon Expires.
No Cause Known for Decd-Was Sober ami
Industrious Man.

Watcrville, Oct. 9.-(SpeciaD.- -Whcn
Mrs Mary F'urhush went home from
the shop. this afternoon. she was des-
tined to meet with shock that will
leave its effect for all the rest of her
life She discovered her husband hang
ing by the neck in small room sepa-
rated from the woodshed and used for
a store room. Mrs. Furbush gave the
alarm to some men in Hathaway S
shirt factory. and among those who re-
sponded to her cry was Frank Smith,
who al once cut the man down.
Furbush was not dead but appeared
to be fast sinking. Drs. Thayer and
Bunker were hastily summoned. but
they could do nothing for the unfortu-
nate man ard he expired soon after
their arrival.
The story Of the afternoon, as far as
the tragedy is concerned, is told by the
dead mans daughter, Miss Gertrude
urbuSh. as follows:
THE last | saw of father alive was
| about 2.10 o'clock, and he then went
| down stairs. About 2.15 o'clock. mother

| Il minute or two went down to the
clothes line in the yard. She found
| father hanging in the shed and then
| she went to the shop and asked the
men to come over. Several men came
among them Mr.. Smith, who, l believe

Had your father been in poor

| His health was generally very good
| but for the past two weeks he had
| been i'll and remained home from his
work.
| Did he ever have any domestic
trouble?"
None at all We have always got
| along without trouble and lived very
| happily
| Had he met with financial reverses
| that would cause him to become de-
spondent?"
| NO, he was poor man, working in
| the car shops Tor day wages
| There seems to have been no cause
for the suicide. The deceased's name
was Leonard Augustus Furbush, he
| was 50 years old, a painter by trade
| and a sober and industrious man. He
| had never been i'll of any consequence
until within the past two weeks, when
| he was taken With a cold.
| The unfortunate man had selected q
| beam in a small compartment in the
Woodshcd, that was not high enough for

The F'urbush family live in Mrs. Bon

about q years old. They came from
Scarsport about three years ago. As
near as can be ascertained, only about

There is just now no lack Of news

is as promptly and accurately heard

From all over the west come reports
that Paine's celery compound occupies
practically 4 clear field in the cure of
diseases arising from tired or other
wise impaired nervous system.
No other remedy was ever used by
so many men of sound reliable judy
ment. No remedy but Paine's celery
compound has ever been recommended
by so conspicuously fair minded a body
of men and women. The half hearted
experimental efforts of scores and
scores of sarasparillas. tonics, ana So
called nervincs, with which the market
is constantly recruited are in startling
contrast with the confident-because
thoroughly scientific-way in which
Paine's celery compound sets about re-
storing health and vigor to the worn
out body.
Why will people be silly enough to
jeopardZe their lives and lessen their
chances of getting well by taking any
thing else?
There is no help so sure and so i'm
