The patient, a .laborer, was suffering
from spreading gangrene which af-

both legs. It was not a mere case of

Assaults on Female Character.


If there be no: law to prevent mer-
ciless public assault on the character
of ones mother, wife, daughter, sister,
sweetheart, how is the blighting blow
to be legally neutralized? A woman's
reputation is not merchandise or
money, to be divided or adjusted in
some petty court. It is not a thing to
be handled about, decided by jury,
analyzed by attorneys or rehabilitated
in the press. Such attacks as provoked
the San Francisco tragedy should be
impossible. The trouble is that they
are not. And 50 long as they continue
and husbands, fathers, brothers and
friends have red blood in their veins
there will be tragedies. ..a.=E

Aristocratic Japanese Actors.

In Japan there is an aristocracy
of actors None can belong to it
unless their ancestors have been &C
tors for many generations or they
have been adopted into a great the
atrical family. These professional
leaders enjoy special privileges. One
of them is the right to advertise their
names over the doors of the houses
where they play. But foreign t1s'
toms are beginning to affect the
stage. In Tokyo they have got the
length of performance down to
eight hours, though in the provinces
they still run fifteen. Generally
parts of two or more different styles
of plays run on in succession, three
or four days being thus occupied in
the one series of productions. This
is with a view, of giving everybody
something to their taste.

A Strange Fatality.

At Morristo IN, n. J., the last OF
the Port Morris Turner'S met bis
death on the railroad Thursday morn
ing, at very nearly the same spot
where his father was killed ten years
ago and at the same place where bis
grandfather had been killed ten years
previous to that. The young mans
name was Samuel Turner. He was
twenty. one years old and had been
married only month He was walk
ing up the tracks early in the morn
ing when his foot caught in the frog
or switch. He tried to free himself,
but could make no one hear, however,
and so started to cut the shoe off his
foot. While doing. that he was run
down by the milk train. His father
and grandfather we're both killed in
exactly she sarne way, and tie young
man had often said that he expected
to meet the same fate, as it seemed TO
run in the family. It was his custom
to go to work early in the morning
and then return to breakfast. Shortly
after being ma 'ried be said to his wife
one day: If l do not return prompt
