The Japanese now give us their side
of the story about Formosa. Toxic
advices are to the effect that the tales
of cruelty coming to England by way Of
China are fabrications meant to throw
the burden Of blame upon Japanese
shoulders. The Chinese residents Of
was made over to Japan, and 1t Is in
connection with the campaigns con-
Quoted against the rebels that these al
legations Of brutality have arisen. 1t Is
reported now that the second insurrec-
ton is practically over, and II this Is
true it is to be hoped these stories Of
barbarism and atrocity may not again
be revived.

Recognizing the evils of bad temper
and the value to ones self and to society
of good temper, one should aim to cul-
tivate the latter. This may be done in
part by controlling the tongue, which Is
q very common irritant and has reac.
tionary influence. He who stops to
think before making peevish or irri-
Eating remark will generally leave 1t
unsaid, and, when he has obtained con-
troll Of his tongue, he will also have OBJ
tanned to some degree control Of his

Miss Minnie Blough, Of Davis juno
ton, Ill, has brought suit against the
wrong man, as we presently shall show.
But first let us state the case: Into Miss
Blough's parlor, and close to her piano,
came George M. Bennett, ''son of q
large land owner and capitalist" To
Minnie George sang song, the bur-
den whereof was, 20 Promise Me-"
Minnie says that she did promise him,
and that now George refuses to have
her. wherefore plaintiff prays judg-
ment in the sum of $1,000 and all other
proper relief" Minnie's suit does not
lie against Mr.. George M. Bennett, but
against Mr.. Reginald De Koven, who
is the author Of the song warbled by
George. 1t is maxim of law, "Quod
facit per alum facit per se," which Min
MES attorney, IL he be not graduate
Of one OF the law schools that trans
mute BARRIERS clerks into counselors,
will interpret to her as meaning THAT
which person does by another he does
by himself" Now, it was Mr.. De Ko-
ven who supplicated Minnie to prom
Use him; George was but the mouth
piece of Reginald. George never franz
ed the pathetic, magnetic supplication.
It was Reginald's wood notes wild"
that bewitched Minnie. He is the per-
son from whom she should collect S.
600, and whom the court should ad-
Judge to afford her "all proper relief"
An agent Is not personally bound by
the promises made by his principal.
George was the agent Of Reginald, who
we grieve to SIMULTANEOUSLY has beg
ged Of some thousands of maids, 20
Promise Me-" Suppose that the air had
been played by a dago on. hurdy-
gurdy, and that, entranced by the mel
ody. Minnie had murmured "Yes'' to
the dago, or to the dago's monkey,
would she in her unentranced moments
be bound by her promise? Not much.
And why? Because the promise would
have been made to the dago or the mon
key as the agent or interpreter of Regi-
maid. But Reginald could claim her
hand and heart, for it was his poetry
and song to which she had been respon-
sive. In like manner, if Reginald has
gone back on Minnie it Ia he that
should be mulcted, and not his agent,
whether the agent were dago, mon
key or the "son of great land owner
and capitalist"

LAST TWO PLAYS.
''AlI The Comforts of Home" and
Nancy g. Co.

At the matinee this afternoon the
Frawley Company will play the funny
comedy "All the Comforts of Home. .
Tonight Nancy & Co." will be pre-
scented.
The play is a German farce, in which
the most improbable things are done in
the most unexpected places. There is
the usual insight dilemma made to
look remarkably suggestive for time
and it ends with a proper and natural
explanation. Nancy Brasher aspires to
the honor of play writing, and under
an assumed masculine name CORE
spends with O'Keife and in collab era-
ton with him produces a play. Her
husband is not in the secret, and for
a good sufficient, though amusing, rea-
son, doubts her loyalty and sees enough
to send him into a frenzied rage. Then
everybody has trouble, and the audi
ence fairly bowls with laughter. The
ramifications and subsidiaries of the
plot defy description. The mixture of
reason and improbability is original
and extremely entertaining. Once and
once only does the performance deal
in pathos. That once is golden op-
portunity fully utilized. The play writ
ten by Nancy & Co. has made a hit;
the house is in great glow of excite
ment the hour of triumph has come
to Nancy when suddenly thought of
| the torture her husband has enduerd
comes to her mind, and her wild and
| unwarranted ends are mirrored before
| her. She is stricken with horror and
| remOrse and swoons away. All this
! Nancy tells to the audience, and as
she finishes her history the audience
finds relief for it's exertion in the whirI-
| pool of applause.

Four Police Officers Have an Ex-

Capt. John Fernandes, Lieut.. Kekai
and two policemen had quite an outing
among the long grass and slippery
stones of Pauoa Valley yesterday
morning, while vending their way to-
ward a certain Chinese dwelling house
suspected of harboring large number
of gamblers.
In order to keep the matter as Sc
cret as possible the officers took a long
way about, and went up by way of
TantaluS.
Going down the side they came upon
the dwelling and found some 20 Chi
nese inside engaged in playing fan tan
and other games known to the Chinese
gambling fraternity. The officers
made rush and so did the Cinnamon,
with the result that about one-half
of the latter escaped. Of the 10 who
were corralled, two or three showed
fight, but were quickly subdued.
Although wet and hungry the officers
returned triumphant with the 10
Cinnamon who were all released later

country came up in the police court
yesterday morning, Attorney General
Smith appearing for the prosecution
and Messrs. Thurston, Stanley and Da-
