drew the plans for the four cars which
are all that are at present running In
Japan. Since these pioneer cars were
put into service they have been at all
times profitable and popular, so much
so that there is a loud demand that all
japanese roads should be equipped in
the same way. Mr.. Iwasaki has slight

this country, in that each upper berth
contains windows which admit air and

PERFUMED CIGARS.

The Ones General Rosecrans Once
offered to "a Friend.
One of the stories told by old en-
ployees in the treasury department at
Washington Is of the time when Gen
eral Rosecrans was register. The gen.
eral never smoked and knew nothing
about cigars. He determined, however,
to have a box of good cigars handy for
the benefit of friends who might drop
into the registers office. The general
accordingly purchased a box Of expen-
sive cigars, put them In a drawer and
forgot all about them for some time.
Then, one day, when friend was call
Ing, the general remembered the cigars
and brought them out.
II know nothing about CIGARS" said
Rosecrans, but | am told that these
are very fine"
His friend lighted cigar, and look
of pain and horror instantly overspread
his face. He tried to conceal his feel
ings and puffed manfully at the cigar
for several seconds. Then Rosecrans,
noticing that he was growing pale, ask
ed what was the trouble.
General" said the visitor, 81 don't
want to be ungrateful. but I'm afraid
it's this cigar.
"Impossiblew exclaimed Rosecrans.
"Why, when l bought them | was told
that they were the finest cigars on the
market
"Well, general, you were deceived.
The cigar tastes and smells exactly as
If 1t were made of camphor."
'Camphorp' stammered Rosecrans,
looking chapfallen. "Why, / never
thought, but perhaps camphor does in
jure cigar" And, reaching into the
drawer, he brought to view several gar
ments filled with camphor balls. DO
you suppose that can be the trouble?"
he inquired.

Witness My Hand.

In the early days only a few schol-
ars, priests and clerks knew how TO
write. 1t was then customary to sign
a document by smearing the hand with
ink and impressing it upon the paper,
accompanied by the words, witness
my hand" Afterward the seal was in
troduced as a substitute for the hand
mark and was used with the words
above quoted. the two forming the sig

A short time prior to 1880 Brady was

for some days had been watching a
company of Indians. Finally one night
he followed them to ravine which
opens at the southwest corner of this
lake, where he found them sleeping
about their camp fire, evidently feeling
themselves in perfect security. With
his gun In his left hand and his hunting
knife in his right, he quietly stole down
the hill on the west side and was short
ly standing among them, while they In
sound sleep did not suspect danger.
With his knife he killed eighteen of
their number by stabbing them in the
heart before they were alarmed. When
the eighteenth was dispatched the re-

his gun and then went at them with
knife and dubbed gun. They ran and

ROMANTIC HISTORY.

Brady's Leap.
Brady's Lake, growing summer re-
sort in Portage County, Ohio, has his
tory romantic enough to turn all the
other summer resorts in the State green
with envy.
The name of the lake originated from
an adventure which Capt Samuel Bra
dy had with the Indians in 1880, writes
E. w. Maxson in the Ohio State Jour-
nal. Brady was man of large proper
tions and herculean strength-a daring
fighter and a relentless foe of the In
dian. He was the Daniel Boone of the
northeast valley Of the Ohio, as the
other was of the southwest Portage
County is full of the traditional legends
of his adventures and hairbreadth es-
capes. Brady was familiar with all of
this territory and its surroundings. He
knew the courses of the Cuyahoga River
near this lake as well as the paths
about CHARTERS Creek near his own
home, south of the Ohio. Whenever he
went on any of his hunting expeditions
he was the one shining mark for the
Indians bullet or arrow, but was al
ways able to escape by his superior
ability In woodcraft. Many times he
met the Indian single-handed. With his
unerring rife and knife, which he al
ways carried in his belt, he was dam
gerous foe to the red man. who for

A BRILLIANT PLAY
BY RICHARD MANSFIELD

Richard Mansfield played at the Wor-
cester Theatre last evening In Beau
caire." The performance was thoroughly
artistic and pleasing. A large and fash
ionable audience was present.
The play was dramatized by the author
Of Monsieur Beaucalre," Booth Tarking-
ton, and Evelyn Greenleaf Sutherland.
Beaucaire assumes three different roles
during the play. First as a mysterious
Frenchman he appears at Bath, where he
r. recognized as a hairdresser-a former
disguise-by some of the gentlemen OF
fashion He disappears TO assume title
and enter the society in new guise as
due, and he woos and wins Lady Mary
Carlisle an imperlous beauty. The third
guise comes with the revelation of his
royal identity I'm the final act.
In all three guises Mansfield Is superb.
His French accent is marvellous. With
characteristic grace he portrays the
royal character
There is n wonderful fascination about
the play, apart from the skill of Mans
field his graceful acting and elocution.
Not all the company were up to the
mark, but the play itself Is flawless the
stage setting all that could be asked.
Miss Lettice Fairfax, as Lady Mary,
gave Mansfield a brilliant support. The
Duke OF Winter set was represented well
by Joseph Weaver. A. G. Andrews al
Mr.. Molyneaux was admirable.
The picture of social life Of the time
was charming. The dances. costumes and
furnishings formed a brilliant and art
istic effect throughout the play There
are no better plays on the stage today
than "Beaucaire." and, fortunately, 1t is
In good hands.
