Death.
From the New York Tribune
The cable dispatch from Yokohama
stating that the murderer Of Hoshi
Toru, the japanese minister of com
notifications, had been sentenced to
hard labor for life gives fresh interest
to some particulars OF that crime which
were not published here at the time 1t
occurred. H6shi foru, who had been
the Japanese diplomatic representative
at washington, was minister of com
munications in Japan when he. was
slain, The criminal. a samurai, stump
tuousiy clad in the old national costume
of his country. on June q, entered the
hall where the City Council of Toxic
was in session.
There were there Six men; in Euro
pean vestments, who were standing to
have a final conversation before separ-
ating. Hoshi Toru was one of them
and was talking while having his fin
gers in his vest pockets, a habit he had
brought from European diplomatic sa-
Ions. The samurai, in his ceremonious
national silk robe, with large open
sleeves, a shining belt, and his two
swords hung to it. opened the door OF
the hall; and, according to, the old jap
anese custom, rendered his card and
walked in the direction of Hoshi Toru.
The minister turned around, and the
sainurai, while speaking in a low voice
struck him suddenly and with great
accuracy Ave Blows. all deadly, with
a stiletto. Nobody else had time to
make a gesture. Hoshi .Toru fell on the
floor, his mouth filled with blood. and
did not move again.
The SO mural, Iba Sotaro, immediate
ly surrendered his weapon, and asked
to be bound. Then he handed to the
policemen a declaration he had written
beforehand, in which he said: II en-
terrain no personal hatred toward Ho-
shi Toru. but he spreads the

The murderer belonged to the party
of the ancient Japanese: His family had
for many generations exercised the sim
gular privilege of furnishing a master
of the sword to the court of the Sho-
gun; His father was known for his
skill with the national weapon and he
himself had the reputation. of a re-
donbtab1e swordsman. His brother had
been killed in 1868 in the Vendean- like
war sustained by the partisans of the
old Japanese regime. The murderous
saiturai was a wealthy man; beneficent,
and the head of a highly esteemed fam
lily. For a time he had reconciled him"

administrator of a bank. But his fond

THE NEW PRESIDENT.
The Sort of Man Theodore Roosevelt
4.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
Here is record that shows you just
what kind of man Theodore Roose-
welt is:
Out West in Montana, at a big
roundup, the bad man." who always
is present on such occasions was
known as Long Ike" He had the rep
utation of being quick with his fore
finger on the trigger and able to whip
his weight in wild cats" on account
of his great muscular strength. He i'm
posed upon people so long that he
gradually got to believe in his own
coutage-for, in reality, he was as ar
rant a coward as ever passed himself
off as a brave man. One of his fayorite
tricks was to line up alongside a drink
ing bar, select the filled glass of one
Of the men he thought he could COW,
and drain it.. ,,...,,
At this particular roundup Theodore
Roosevelt happened to be one of a par
ty in the only place of shelter on. the
prairie-the saloon. A glass half filled
with whisky had been poured out by
d cowboy and placed in front of him.
Long Ike reached out and took it, and
SO certain was he that the stranger
would submit that he did not take the
precaution to make his customary bluff
with his revolver. s.....,
Before he could swallow the liquor
Mr. Roosevelt was on him like cata-
mount An expert wrestler he threw
the bully in a jiffy. Then he turned
him over and stood him up and ran
him outdoors, taking the revolver away
from him in the run, Ike was thrown
again, harder than before. and couldn't
get up for five minutes. When he did
he was dazed and wondering. The style
of attack was SO quick, so unusual and
SO vigorous that he was afraid to re
sent it in the bad man" way;even had
he possessed the nerve--and his shoot
ing iron. He sneaked out of camp. The
young man with the eyeglasses and
the cleaning teeth enjoyed the respect
Of the cowboys from that day for
ward.
That is Theodore Roosevelt, man OF
action as we'll as words, but whose
words mean action, for he is man
who says what he means and means
what he says; who acts according to
his words, who is as fearless as he is
tireless, as strong as he is fearless, as
gentle as he is strong and as fierce as
he is gentle when fight is called for
the relentless foe in battle, the gen
erous conqueror when the battle has
been fought.

MAN MARRIED MAN.
Fraud Perpetrated to break an En-
gig ement.


From PHILADELPHIA North American.
Morristown, N. j., Sept. ff.-Death
has revealed the details Of 4 marriage
in which the bride" was a man. by
which a pretty girl was Tilted and
through which a minister was BAN
boozled.
A few days ago John Hart sutton,
% years old, a popular. society man Of
this place, died, and his brother, Rob
found a marriage certificate. though
the dead man had always been sup
posed to be single.
AS Sutton possessed considerable
money in his own right. and was insur-
ed for $500, his brother began an in
vestigation, with the startling result
that the marriage was proved a farce,
and the supposed bride a young man
attired in female garb,
wanted TO He Married.
The couple, it is said, drove to the
residence of Rev. DR.. Judd, pastor of
the Methodist Episcopal Church in
Bernardsville on election eve, 1898.
They were accompanied by Nathan C..

form the marriage ceremony
The bride" wore dark veil, dark
coat, Alpine hat, dark skirt and a fur
boa drawn tightly around her neck. AS
the room was very warm, Dr. Judd in
yited her to remove her coat and veil,
but she declined, saying: mo, thank
you, I am very. comfortable" w The
bride appeared to be rather difffdent
and quite young, Mr. Sutton answer

Couch and Thomas Judd acted as
witnesses to the ceremony, and at the
close the bridegroom paid q. fee of IS
and departed, after asking DR.. Judd to
forward the marriage certificate to his
Morrstown address,
Held Back Certificate.
After the departure of the couple,
Mrs. Judd expressed her belief that
Something was wrong regarding the
couple. and stated that she thought
they were two men, probably intent on
gaining a wager. The minister, think
ing his wife might be correct in her
surmise, decided not to forward the
certificate unless he heard further from
the couple. About one week later he
received a letter from Sutton saying
that as himself and wife were prepar-
ing to locate elsewhere, he would like
TO have the marriage certificate sent
to him. This request was complied with
and nothing further. heard from the
couple by the minister. -.

From the Philadelphia Ledger, Sept. a.
The church where the great great
sreat-grandmother of President NC
kinley attended and the old dwell
ing occupied by her people are still
standing in Lancaster county. The
pity is, however, that the original
house In which she was born is no
longer to be seen. Except for a few
stones, which mark the outlines of the
Old place, there is not a trace of its
eighteenth century architecture.
In the beautiful Donegal Valley
among the rolling hills of Lancaster
county and looking down upon the
rapid waters of the Susquehanna, lies
the village of Donegal. where the Ste
Vensons' built their long, low house.
IN which the ancestor of a President
was born. The valley is one of the
prettiest in the state, and that is say
ing great deal, for the state is filled
with picturesque places lying among
