SERVANTS IN JAPAN.
They Render Excellent Service IL They
Are Treated with Consideration.

Are Treated With Consideration.
japanese servants are excellent if you
choose them with discretion and treat
them with the established consideration
of the country. There is a universal So
cial compact in Japan to make life
pleasant by politeness. Everybody is
more or less well bred and hates the
man or woman who is yakamashu-
noisy, uncivil or exigent.
People who lose their temper are al
ways in hurry, bang doors, swear and
swagger, find themselves out of place
in land where the lowest cody learns
and practices an ancient courtesy from
the time when he wabbles about as a
baby upon his mothers back. Therefore
to be treated we'll in Japan-as perhaps,
indeed, elsewhere-you must treat every
body, including your domestics, well,
and then you will enjoy the most pleas
ant and willing service.
Your cook will doubtless cheat you a
little, your jinrikisha man will now
and then take too much sake, the mus
mu and the boys wife will gallop all
over the place about everything you do,
and the gardener and the coachman will
fight cocks in the back yard when your
back is turned, but if conscious Of your
own you can forgive the little sins Of
others. You can hardly fail to become
closely attached to the quiet, soft voiced,
pleasant people, who as soon as they
have learned your ways will take real
pleasure in making life agreeable to you.
A present now and then Of kimono
to the maids, Of toys and sweetmeats to
the children, days holiday now and
then granted to the theater or the wres-
tling match are richly rewarded by such
bright faces and unmistakable warmth
Of welcome on arriving and of good
speed OH going as repay you tenfold.
Respectful as japanese servants are
and they never speak except on their
knees and faces-they like to be taken
into the family conversation and to sit
sometimes in friendly abandon with the
master and mistress, admiring dresses,
pictures or western novelties and listen
ing sometimes to the samisen and koto
as children of the household. Edwin
Arnold in Soribner's.

A sparrow Prima Donna.

M. Mingaud, naturalist Of Mines,
France, gives, in La Revue Scientifque,
an interesting account Of the musical
accomplishments of sparrow in his
collection Of living birds He captured
the sparrow soon after it had been
hatohed and fed it by hand until IL
could care for itself. Then he placed it
in cage containing chaffinch. gold
fnoh and two canaries. After time
the sparrow learned to warble like the
finohes and to trill like the canaries, the
limitations being so perfect as to deceive
the ear. In spring M. Mingaud is 40
oustomed to keep box of crickets near
his birdcages. Two days after the
orickets had been placed near the cage
containing the sparrow the latter began
to initiate their cry, intermingIing 1t
with its songs. Even after the criokets
had long been dead the sparrow remem-
bred Its lesson and continued to repeat
their CRY. None Of the other birds at
tempted to initiate the crickets Singu-
larly enough, the sparrow never utters
the peculiar squalling cry Of its own
species, having been removed from its
nest too early, apparently, to have
learned il

nv MOTHERS VOICE.

Oft in my happy dreams Of infancy
A voice was heard in that blest "long ago."
Now rising sweet and clear, then soft and
low,
IN rippling tones of wondrous melody.
ALI through my childhood rang that happy
voice,
Which fainter grew, as youth came on apace,
Yet echoed on, when, weary Of lifes race,
heard its tones, which bade my heart rejoice.
Far from that happy home, yet not alone,
wander bearing In my heart that song
Which fingers, guarding me from every
wrong,
Fever hear Its old, familiar tone.

100 yards before her. The men yelled
and waved their hats:the women waved
their handkerchiefs, and the band play
ed a Cuban battle song.
With a bouquet in her hand and
pleased but diffident expression on her
face, Miss Cisneros bowed to her audi
ence. for hers it was, and then turned
to Mr.. Decker. indicating that she want
ed him to understand that applause
was as much for him as for her.
For some moments the two stood
forth while the cheering continued. Then
Miss Cisneros was led back to the rear
of the platform, where she bowed and
smiled to the crowd on that side of the
platform. Then she descended the steps
to the carriage. which was driven
around the square and back to Del
monicos.
Previous to the appearance of Miss
CisneroS on the platform, there were a
number of speeches interspersed with
selections by the band. Murat Hal
stead was chairman and introduced tbs
speakers. United States Senator
Thurston, of Nebraska; Congressman
Sulzer and Henry George were the
speakers.

protected from successful prosecution.
Whether or not this is true, your COM
Inittee has no reliable evidence. but it
certainly seems humiliating that q de-
graded and irresponsible creature can
persistently and with some degree of
success defy the entire body of legally
constituted officers who are charged
with the duty of enforcing the law.
There are jointists still carrying on
their business in the city of Topeka.
The county officers or the police de-
partment of the city could close up eV-
cry one of these joints inside of a week
and keep them closed, if they would
make an earnest and honest effort to
do so.
The same question is still before US:
Shall our laws be trampled under foot
by professional criminals-shan our
public officers be permitted to continue
untrue to their oaths of office?
Considering the adverse circumStan-
ces, most gratifying results have al
ready been accomplished. But for the
work of this committee and the public
sentiment and support which has suS-
tanned it. we would have the Open sa-
forward or backward-it cannot stand
still. The final blow at the liquor sell
Ter in Topeka must be struck soon, or it
may be too late. There must be an
immediate revival of public sentiment
in favor of the enforcement of the law
We call upon all those who are in IA
vOr of the enforcement to assist at once
in every way they can, and above all,
to stand firm in the determination that
the officers shall do their duty, and
sooner or later the majesty of the peo-
pie expressed in law shall and will pre-

REPORT oF ooMMITTEE
Of Seventeen on it's Work and Re
suits of its Work.

The following is the report Of the
Committee of Seventeen submitted at
the meeting last night:
The Committee of Seventeen desires
to submit at this time to those citizens
who are in sympathy with 1t, state
ment concerning it's work.
AS a result of its labors some sixty
prosecutions have been begun against
violatOrs Of the prohibitory law. OF
these cases there have been several
convictions and several acquittalS or
| dismissals. Most of these cases are still
pending in the district court and there
is evidence enough to warrant convic-
ton in all, or nearly all of them. siren
uOus efforts were made by the whisky
interests to secure the open saloons in
| Topeka during the Fall Festival. To
this end the attitude and position of the
committee was grossly misrepreSented
and number of persons who would or
dinarily be on the side of law and or
der, permitted themselves to be used by
| the jointists on the side of Iawlessness
and disorder.
This committee had no fight to make
and made no fight on the Fall Festival.
; 1t believed and still believes that it is
a dangerous and vicious policy to allow
the laws to be suspended for any length
of time at the dictation of any man or
set of men.
A year ago Topeka had open saloons
during Festival week. The sale of liq
uOrs went on practically, without re-
stricti0n. 1t was the experience of that
week that produced much of the law
/ lessness from which we have suffered
/ during the past year.
Prior to the recent Fall Festival
| there seemed to be a general under
standing that during Festival week the
! joints We're to run wide open. That ex-
/ tensive preparations were being made
/ to open up and run saloons, and run
| large number of them, is beyond Ques-
| ton.
To what extent there was an under
! standing with the public officers that
1 these joints should run without inter
| ference on the part of such officers, we
Will not undertake to say But one
| thing is certain, and that Is, that the
joint keepers We're in fear of the Com
mlttee of Seventeen, and not of the Of
ficers
Your committee is of the opinion that
practically all of the officers charged
with the duty of enforcing the prohibit
tory liquor law in this county, are per
sonally in favor of complete nullifca-
ton. 1t is in any event certain that
| they We're all in favor of letting the
joints run during Festival week
1t was expected that we would have
a wide OPEN town during that week
except as the same might be prevented
by the action of this committee. And.
/ fort or attempt was made by any of the
1 suppress the joints.
In prosecuting joint keepers during
| Festival week. this committee was

Charles Lobdeli e.Rebuked" for an at
tempt at Fairness.


Charles E. Lobdeu who is now pub
fishing the Kansas City, Kan, Tribune,
will before many days elapse be called
upon by Cyrus Leland and Chairman
Jim Simpson, to explain why he has
seen fit to editorially criticise some of
the second district Republicans and
papers as well for abusing Mason Pc
ters, the Kansas City congressman.
The attitude assumed by Mr.. Lobdeu
was discussed at the Republican meet
ing in this city yesterday and it was
agreed that Mr.. Lobden should be re-
buked.
Charlie Scott in the lola Register crit
icised Peters and intimated that he was
not up to the standard of Kansas con
gressmen, to which Mr.. LObdelI replied,
and got himself into trouble by saying:
Now you fellows ring off. Mason
Peters hasn't got the swell head; he
doesn's think he is it by any sort of
means. and he is not the weakest
stick ever sent to congress- by a long
shot He is a quiet, unassuming, hard
working gentleman; he is serving his
first term in congress and has the
good sense to keep his mouth shut, but
he was recognized by Speaker Reed
who is credited with being a pretty fair
judge of men, with place on the COM
mfttee on the District of Columbia one
of the important committees, and much
more important than was accorded to
any other Kansas Pop. He is serving
his last term also, because the RepubIi-
cans Of the second district aren't going
| to make fools of themselves any more
But he is entitled to fair treatment, and
the Tribune proposes to see that ne gets
it. He is as good a congressman as a
misguided Pop could be"

CLAY CLEMENT HERE.
The New Actor Who is Attracting so
Much Attention.

Mr.. Clay Clement, playwright and ac-
tor, appears for the first time in Topeka
tonight, presenting 1.-The New Dominion
al the Crawford theater. Mr.. Clement
comes to Topeka after a successful " eek s
engagement at the Coates House in KAN
sas City. and during his stay there the
press took occasion to praise his work
both in 1.-The New Dominion and "A
Southern Gentleman" and predict a great
future for him as a romantic actor. Mr..
Clement is supported by a strong COM
pany this year. and so far this season
has been we'll received wherever he has
appeared. In Duluth. Mimi, last month
he played return engagement of a
week, ten days after he had closed his
first engagement, and Duluth News-Trib-
une went so far to say that he created
a more favorable impression in that city
than did Richard Mansfield. In 1.-The
New Dominion Mr. Clement takes the
part of Baron Hohenstaufen." a Ger
man gentleman who removes to Virginia
