Many have imputed to Japanese
women in consequence lack OF
knowledge and undue meekness, re-
Rarding them as little more than sery-
ants Of their families and husbands.
Such criticism is purely superficial
and far from being accurate; indeed,
it is very inaccurate.
The position of Japanese woman
is high one. She is addressed as
"Okusamn,'' the honorable lady OF
the house. and she is treated with
the greatest consideration and re-
spect by her husband and her family.
Far from being meek, slaviSh crea-

home pleasant both in appearance
and by her cheerfulness OF disposi-
tion, and the education and instrue-

the children have entered school they
are still under her tutelage.
As her home is therefore her world,
It is only natural that it has become
the inherent instinct Of the Japanese
women to lavish the greatest love
and tenderness upon their homes,
and to expend much time and
thought in endeavoring to make them
as attractive and as pleasant as pos
sible,

A Large Number of People Enjoyed
 Themselves at City Hall.
 The reception and whist party which was given at the City hall last night, under the auspices of the Young La dies sodality of St Thomass church, proved to be one of the most success full affairs of the kind which has been held in this city. The attendance was much larger than any whist party given in the past. The auditorium of the hall was covered with tables and every foot of available space was used. Yet every table was occupied by per- sons who desired to enjoy an hour or two of whist. Between TOO and 800 people were playing, while about half that number sat in the gallery and watched the players while waiting for the dancing to begin. Though the at tendance was unusually large, yet ev- erything passed off smoothly, and there were no hitches. This was due to the able management. It was a pretty sight to sit in the gallery and, watch the players as they progressed. Eff teen hands were played, and the win- ners of the beautiful prizes were the following:
 Gentlemen-Thirtee points, watch fob, John Egan, link cuff buttons, Peter Lynch; umbrella, F. B. Richmond; twelve points, stick pin, T. E. Moran; stick pin, John Shaw; sofa pillow, Will liam Scully; match safe, Robert Bat ters; pack of cards, F. Gates; eleven points, match safe, the Rev Father Crowley; clock, Frank Phelan; book, Joseph Moran.
 Ladies Thirteen points, handker- chief case, Mrs Joy; Renaissance table cover, Martha Corr; twelve points, pie ture, Josephine Hayes; sofa pillow, De- borah Fitzgerald; sofa pillow, Nellie Leeney; eleven points, cushion, Mrs C.. Jackson; china hair receiver, Mary Mo Nellis; belt buckle, Miss Minnehan.
 After the whist dancing was en- joyed until about ? o'clock. There was a large number of dancers, and those fond of the fantastic step had plenty of opportunity to enjoy it. Re treatments were served throughout the evening.
 The members of the Young Ladies' soda1ity are deserving of many con- gratulations for the magnificent suc- cess of the affair. It could not have been better managed. The different committees worked hard and their work was rewarded with fine success.

MUST EXCHANGE TICKETS.
Complimentaries Will Not Be Given

Complimentaries Will Not Be Given Out to Friends This Year.
 This year the tickets for the com mencement exercises of the graduating class of the Waterbury High school which will be held in Polls theater on Thursday night, June IS, will have ta be exchanged at Polls theater. In former years 1t was not necessary to exchange the tickets. But this year the graduates and other pupils, the teachers, the members of the board of education and city government, the press and others who receive tickets, will have to exchange them at the box office for reserved seats which the coupons on the tickets call for. Two days will be allowed for exchanging tickets After that the tickets which have not been exchanged will be given to the superintendent of schools and the members of the board of education and notices inserted in the papers to the effect that the public may have the tickets by applying to any of the above parties. Tn past years people re- ceived tickets as compliment and did not use them. Consequently for the past two or three years there have been two or three hundred empty seats in the theater at the graduation exercises, whereas there were many persons who were unable to secure tickets and could not therefore attend. It is expected that the new arrange. ment will do away with the above condition of affairs.

There were ten members present, all of whom voted for MT Kellogg. The chair de- clared John F. Kellogg the unanimous choice of the board for city attorney for two years, beginning July 1, 1903.

To Test the Texas Trust Law.

Washington, May 16.-Three cases in
tended To test the validity of the Texas
Antitrust law We're dOcketed today in
the United States supreme court. The
cases are those of the State of Texas
vs.. The National Cotton Seed Oil Com
pany and the Southern Cotton Seed Oil
Company, both New Jersey corpora
tons.
The two companies were consolidated
and the consolidation acquired other
Oil factories, the combination resulting
in the formation of a trust as assigned
by the state and not denied by the COM
panieS. 1t is stated that one result of
the combination was the fixing of the
price of cotton seed at lila per ton.
The combination was pronounced illegal
by the Texas courts, and the oil COM
panies bring the cases to the supreme
court on WritS of error alleging that
the Texas antitrust laws are in con-
traventiOn of both the federal and the
state constitutions.

INJUNCTION DISSOLVED.
Result of the Georgia Saw Mill As
sOciatiOn Against the Railroads.

Macon. Ga, May 16.-Argument was
concluded today in the case of the
Georgia Saw Mill Association VS.. the
Southeastern Freight Association and
the several railroad companies COM
posing it,
Judge Speer stated that he had at
first decided to take the case under ad-
VlSement, but owing to the importance
OF the interests involved he had de-
cided TO hand down an opinion
The defendants filed a demurrer to
the jurisdiction of the court The de-
murrer was OVerruled, Judge Speer
holding that he entertained no doubt
of the courts jurisdiction to restrain
the enforcement of rates made in vio-
iation of the Interstate commerce law
or otherwise, as a result of a combina-
ton in restraint of trade. Judge Speer
held that it is competent for a court of
equity to so frame its orders as to
serve both parties the fullest hearing
and freest investigation and at the
same time in proper case to restrain
trreparable injury.
Governed by this view he dissovled
the temporary injunction against the
railroads: but in case the railroads
shall enforce the rate complained of
the court reserves the right, upon a
proper application of the Saw Mill AS
sociation to enjoin the railroads from
putting such rate into effect pending
a hearing before the Interstate Com
merce Commission. Immediately after
the hearing the Interstate Com
merce Commission was notified by wire
that IN increase of two cents per hun
