the MOBILITY or JAPAN.
Rapid Increase In the Number OF Peers
I'm Recent Years.

Rapid Increase In the Number of Peers
I'm Recent Years.
From Japan Weekly Times.
Seeing that the peerage Is a class
tina ought to be honored and respected,
the Osaka Mainichi considers 1t a pity
that in several instances members of
the privileged class have acquitted
themselves in such a way as to bring
disgrace Upon themselves. The journal
fears the cases cited will increase in
proportion to the multiplication of
peers. According to our contemporary
there are at present 7l9 noble families
In Japan, against a total number OF
S,400, 900 families. Notwithstanding this
insignificant ratio in comparison with
the total families in the empire. the
number of the aristocratic families
shows a striking rate of increase. When
the peerage law was first enforced. in
1884. the mobiles We're estimated at 500
families. II is therefore clear hat 207
families a been added during the
last II years. Although this large add
ton Is due to the creation of a number
of new peers In recognition of services
rendered by them in connection with
the late war with China, the future
tendency to increase can easily be an
ticipated. The journal reluctantly de-
clares that the multiplication Of the

the exalted class. Thu daimio Cformer
feudal lords) mobiles are placed in such
circumstances as are favorable to keep
up their dignity. being relatively well
of and supported by their former re-
tainers. But. on the other hand. the
kuge (former court nobles) or other no.
bles are continually subject to niu-
ences threatening their corruption and
degeneration.
In order that a wholesome moral tone
be preserved among the nobility Of this
country the Osaka Mainichi proposes
that the authorities should adopt the
following provisions: "a That II a no.
bleman fail to recover the credit he
has lost by his unworthy conduct the
title hould not be allowed to pass to
his heir. 90 That IL a newly created
peer decline 10 make the honor sue
cessive such request shall be accepted.
Further. the journal suggests that the
custom to elevate a worthy man to the
peerage when he is on his deathbed
should be abolished. and that the dis
tinction should be conferred at a time
when he is still able to appreciate IL
and TO decide whether the honor should
or should not be inherited by his pos
terity. II Is to be understood that our
Osaka contemporary recommends the
measur as a means Of purifying the
patrician atmosphere, not because the
mobiles alone are the protectors OF the
imperial household-which would be an
absurd and antiquated a~ction-but be-
cause the future of the nobility inspires
the journal with uneasiness.

HIS LIFE CRUSHED OUT.
Little Johnnie Darcy Killed by
the Street Cars.
FELL UNDER THE WHEELS
The Boy Jumped on . Moving Car. Lost
His FOOTING and Was Dragged Under
the Garlic Was Fright
fully Mangied-

A sad accident occurred yesterday af-
ternoon at the corner OF Alder street
and. Commercial avenue. in which the
young son OF John Darcy had his life
crushed put under the wheels of a street
car.
For a long time motormen and con-
ductors have been bothered by boys
jumping on the cars and stealing rides.
Repeated warnings have had no effect
and the nuisance has remained un-
abated. Yesterdays accident is an IL
lustration of what is sure to follow IL
the carelessness is not stopped by par
ents or police.
The accident occurred about 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon as Motorman John
Malloy was taking a long string Of cars
up from Carroll. Young Darcy. who
was playing with some other boys at
the corner OF Commercial avenue and
Alder street. jumped onto the last car.
In some unexplained way the boy lost
his grip on the handrail and. falling
from the car, was dragged under the
wheels. His right leg was crushed to a
shapeless mass of mangled flesh: his
right arm was broken. as was also his
left leg. and a deep, ugly cash was cut
in his head on the left side. The car
passed entirely over him and the mo-
torman did not stop. as he had no
knowledge Of the accident until an
hour or so after Ii occurred.
The boy was picked up and taken TO
his home at 10 Alder street. close to
where the accident occurred. Physi-
clans were summoned and every means
possible taken to relieve the little fell
lows suffering, but all efforts We're in
vain and after lingering from 4 o'clock
until $3.50. he passed away. He was
conscious a great part of the time and
death was a relief from frightful suf-
fering.
The family is grief-stricken. The
boy was only z years old. but was re-
markedly bright and active. The father
is employed at the works and he and
his family have been in this country a
little over a ear coming here direct
from Ireland.
No blame attaches to the motorman.
John Malloy. In this case, as IL would
have been impossible for him to have
prevented the accident had he seen the
boy fall. and as IT was he was so far
away from the accident that he knew
nothing of II until told about IL after
wards. The cars were moving quite
slowly at the time. Funeral arrange
ments have not yet been made.
