Perry's Diplomacy.


Perry carried out his instructions by
sailing TO Yeddo and delivering his let
ter TO the authorities with the request
that it be presented to the Emperor.
The Japanese. in accordance with their
custom, refused to permit him TO land,
ami Perry waited for his answer for
several months, during which re sur
veyed the Loo Choo Islands. While
in these islands he made the first trea ty
negotiated by them with a Caucasian
power. After waiting several months
Commodore Perry returned to the Bay
of Yeddo. and finally by triumph of
diplomacy, aided by the sight of his
seven ships, effected a landing and OBJ
tanned a treaty permitting the Ameri-
cans to trade This treaty permitted
citizens of the United States to trade
with Japan through the ports of Simo-
da and Hakodade and the United
States was authorized TO appoint Con
suls to represent its interest at these
points 1t was stipulated that steam
ers from California TO China should he
furnished with supplies of coal, and
that American sailors shipwrccked
upon the japanese coast should be
treated humaneiy and not killed or i'm
prislned, as had been the japanese Gus
tom ir their attempt to secure 5-olatiob.
Thus japan. after ZIG years of seclu-
sion. entered into the family of nations.
The other powers were quick TO follow
the United States example and Sc
cured similar treaties. AID three other
ports were soon added to which West
ern people migIs trade
Perry's visit WAS the cause of the
overthrow Of the dynasty then in power
in Japan. From the twelfth century
the authority of the Mikados had been
nominal They had been relegaied
among the gods and their power was
exercised through a Shotgun, who was
the real sovereign When the Shotgun
yielded to the American demands II
created a profound sensation in Japan.
The mobiles were indignant at the de
parture from the traditional policy Of
the empire. They gained the upper
han1. and In 1853 ordered the Shotgun
to abrogate treaties Of commerce. At
tacks on the foreigners followed. and
foreign vessel attempting TO enter
treaiS ports were fired upon. One OF

 THE GRAND STAND ALL RIGHT. Fears have been expressed by many that the carnival grand stand may not stand the strain which will be put upon it. The contractors, Messrs Fi- field and Gallagher, give assurance that there is not the slightest danger. The structure may look fragile to those not familiar with construction and to whom the great height and bulk seem out of proportion to the size of the supporting timbers, but when enc considers the number of supports and the manner in which they are braced in every direction, he will see the inpossibility of an accident.

] theater on last Sunday afternoon at , o'clock. The decorations were superb, the color scheme being purple and white-representing the Elks' colors- With a background of green. In the center of the stage was a stand draped with the American flag upon which was placed large elk's head with spreading antlers. Around this stand were grouped palms, pampas grass in purple, and calla lilies. ! The guard of the footlights was cov- cred with smilax and the front of the stage was draped with purple bunting, smilaX and pepper, each loop being fastened with a bunch of white chry- santhemUms.
 On the right of the stage was an inn mense cluster of calla lilies banked with white chrysanthemums with large date palm as a background. while a number of other varieties of palms were grouped about the stage. A platform covered with purple had been placed in each Of the rear boxes, and one at the back of the opera house, upon which were the chairs and stands of the four officers. Each chair was draped with purple and upon each stand was a large glass jar of white chrysanthemums.
 Exalted Ruler Edward Butt, Jr., oc- cupied the chair on the stage. Es- teemed Leading Knight Bernard An derson the one at the rear, Esteemed Loyal Knight George P. Bullard the one on the right. and Esteemed Leo turing Knight w. c. Foster, the one on the left.
 Ihe first number on the programme was the Angels Serenade" by the orchestra. Tn this selection the violin part was exquisitely rendered by MT. Feuerstein. Owing to ill-health MT. Fenerstein seldom now appears in pub lie and this fact may have added some what to the appreciation of the effort aside from the genius which he un- doubtedly possesses. MT. Willis gave a short history of the Order of ElNs, and MT. T. D. Bennett paid a beaui- ful tribute to the dead-Mr. Lindley Fl. Orme Mr G. P. Bullard delivered q glowing address upon the mottOs of the four stations-Charity. Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity, The music throughout was good.

 The benefit to be derived from deep breathing cannot be over estimated. Ella Wheeler Wilcox says: AS a beautifier nothing eceeds this fresh air lung bath. The lungs are composed of innumerabIe cells, and the majority of people use only the upper rooms" of this breath mansion. The lower ones are closed to the air, and are recept- acles for dust and disease germs throughout life"
 Particularly is this true of women. Tight clothing, habits of life and var ious other restrictions prevent that healthy activity which naturally indu- ces deep brea thing, and this power must be acquired in some other way.
 4 woman who made her living by sewing tells it that when wearied by long hours of work in a stooping posi- ticn, instead of lying down for a while, as it was a great temptation to do, she would go to the window and open ing it would stand there and slowly in
 
 holding them as long as possible, then e,lhale them, the whole process occupy ing perhaps five minutes.
 She declares that after this simple exercise she was able to go back to her work with a degree of freshness al- most beyond belief
 Persons who have inherited weak lungs have been known to overcome this tendency in year, by inhalinS ten breaths in this way, three times a day. Even the overworked society woman and what woman works harder whose time is broken in on by callers and Iuncheons and parties, can devote fifteen or twenty minutes each day, at her own convenience, to this sweeping the system with pure air until deep breathing becomes a fixed habit.
 
 The week before the carnival. To a certain extent we are living in expec- tation. Every one seems to be saving up strength and nerve force to have try at the many attractions which will beNoffered during all of next week.
 Even then. no doubt. the reaction the week following will be worse than the present week of waiting.
 Every thing is quiet in society circles and indeed the various society women are working so hard upon the various carnival committees, that they have no time to think of private entertain ing. Very little is promised in a social way now until after the holidays.
 The Country Club hopes to have things in condition to give its house warming some time between the fif- teenth and the twentieth of the present month, but even this may carry over until after Christmas.
 However our winter visitors are coming in very rapidly and the town is filing up with strangers.
 With the advent of the new year and the meeting of the legislature We may anticipate many pleasant things i'll store for us while we now make the best of a season of quietness.
 Probably the most notable event of the week was the Elks' memorial eXer- clses, which were held at the Doris

A PLAIN STATEMENT.

The managers Of the proposed 'buIl fight syndicate have changed their plans somewhat, and will entertain the public in the Phoenix park, Mon day afternoon, with broncho busting, flag picking, steer tying, etc.
 It was never intended to give an eZl- hibition which would in any way transgress the laws, or bring disgrace upon the city and territory, but mas much as the best people are not in favor of anything of the name or ma ture of a bull figb+, 1t has been de- cided to make the above change.
 In justice to MT. Hugh Creighton, who has been subjected to much ad- verse criticism, it is stated by the management that hls only connection with the affair has been of a financial nature, which any other speculator would have gladly taken.

FIVE ILLUSTRIOUS WOMEN.

Inere are now living but five women
who are daughters of men who fought
for the colonies in the war Of the Rev
olution. One Of them lives west of
Pennsylvania. She is Mrs. Mary Gano
Bryan Cobb Of Kokomo, Ind. She is a
daughter of Captain Daniel Gano, one
Of five brothers who followed their ia
ther, the Rev. John Gano, the famous
Fighting Chaplain" of Revolutionary
times, into the field. Mrs. Cobb was
born in the blue grass region of Ken
lucky in 1903. In 1922 she married
Louis Bryan, veteran Of the war of
1872 and the great-grandfather of the
free silver leader. She is the only wo-
man now alive who is at once the
daughter of a Revolutionary soldier
and the widow Of a soldier Of the war
of 1912. There are still 2,7O0 widows
Of soldiers of the latter war alive.
The above item, the origin of which is
not known, has been. going the rounds of
the press for some time Its incorrect
ness is too apparent to be allowed to go
further without giving additional facts.
There are today living in Minnesota three
daughters of the revolution Mrs Elizabeth
Wellington Durkee, resident of Mankato,
who formerly belonged to a chapter in
Kansas City, and who was recently trans
ferred to Anthony Wayne chapter of this
city. Another daughter is Mrs Van Cleve.
of St. Paul, and the third daughter, whose
name is not known to US, is a resident of
Minneapolis. These women are all own
daughters of men who fought in the revolu-
ton, and the correctness of the statement
is vouched by Miss Nettie Severance, re-
gent of the Anthony Wayne chapter of

One of those terribly hampered and
down-trodden corporations, the American
Express company, has won very import
ant case in the United States supreme
court. Since the stamp act went int o
effect, requiring revenue stamp on each
and every express package, the express
companies of the country have persistently
refused to bear the burden of the cost of
stamps. A test case was brought in the
supreme court by the American to deter
mine whether the shipper or carrier had
to pay the tax and the decision is in favor
of the carrier.

The Chicago Inter Ocean protests
against the action of the house in passing
proposed amendment to the constitution
providing for the election of senators by a
direct vote of the people. 1t says that to
have senators elected by direct vote of the
people, would be to put the senate on the
same plane with the house. Well, that is
where the people want it put That is
what they have been demanding for several
years back, and the demand is growing
There is nothing of buncombe in it as the
Inter Ocean processes to see, Neither
does it place the senate in position where
it would be likely to yield readily to popu-
lar clamor The terms of the members
would not be shortened, and it would be
as conservative under such a mode of cleo
tion as it is now. A direct vote, however.
would do away with much of the chance
for corruption that is now alleged, and
would make it less easy for some men to
manipulate affairs than they now find it to
be with legislative bodies.

FRANK TOO SANGUINE.

The Blue Earth Post of last week con.
tanned the following from subscriber:
Thomas j. Knox, of Jackson, can beat
McCleary.
D. H. Evans, of Tracy. can beat Nc
Cleary.
Senator Meilicke, of Cottonwood, can
beat McCleary.
A. E. Clark. of Mankato can beat Nc
Cleary.
Wilson Borst. of Window, can beat Nc
Cleary.
Senator Johnson, of ST. Peter, can beat
McCleary.
Hon. w. B. Brown, of Pipestone can
beat McCleary.
can beat McCleary.
Ex-senator Hoard, of Montevideo. can
beat McCleary.
The above is from the Martin County
Sentinel, March the roth. The editor of
the Sentinel was State Senator and Lieu
tenant Governor. There is no doubt he
was popular and able man. He tackled
Mr.. McCleary in the race for congressman
and was SO badly beaten that his friends
have always found him at home since.
McCleary is second to none today on the
floor of the house of representatives of the
United States. He is one of the best con-
gressmen Minnesota ever sent to Wash
ington. Frank A. Day, when he run
against McCleary was by far an abler man
and a more popular man than any of the
above named gentlemen, and yet he was
showed completely under by McCleary.
Oh, no, Frank. it takes far bigger man
than you or the crowd above mentioned to
beat James T. McCleary, the statesman,
scholar and gentleman.
