JAPANESE AND AMERICANS cELE-
BRATE NOTABLE EVENT.
DONE IN MEMORY OF PERRY
Meeting at Toxic Concentrating
Treaty Anniversary Turned
to Good Account.

Toxic, March 31.-At a meeting OF
Americans and Japanese held in this
city today, in commemoration OF the
5Oth anniversary Of the signing OF the
Perry treaty between Japan and The
United States, an American war char /
ity, called the Perry Memorial Relief
fund was organized with much enthu-
siasm. The sum OF $37, 800 was SUBJ
scribed at once, and it was decided to
organize committees in all the larger
cities of the United States. The fund
will be turned ove to a minister OF
the imperial household, and will be
distributed under the direction of the
emperor of Japan, particularly for the
purpose Of aiding the destitute fami-
lies of soldiers and sailors.
Count Okuma, at one time Japanese
premier, made the principal address OF
the exercises. He said that as the
Japanese became more familiar with
the people of the United States, they
could but admire them for their love
o. justice and humanity, which were
such prominent national traits.
Bishop McKim Of the American
Episcopal mission, suggested the or
ganization of the charity. He said the
memorial to Perry would not only be
engraven on a pillar of stone, but on
the hearts of the two great peoples.
Charity is beyond the pale of politics,
the speaker said, and this movement
has no significance, except as an ap>
peal to those broad humanitarian SYM
pathies which make a universal broth
| erhood over all the earth. Bishop Nc
Kim's proposal Vas at once approved
and acted upon. The American Asiatic
society headed the subscription list
with $4,000. Baron lwaski and Baron
Mitsui also gave $4,000 each. Prince
Shimazu, head of the Satsuma clan,
and Prince Mort, head OF the Chosu
clan, subscribed $4,000 each. j. w.
Copman and D. o. Blake gave $1,000
each, and Count Inouye, Count Matsu-
gaia, Count Okuma and United States
Minister Griscom subscribed $500.

United States consul at Frankfurt,
Germany, has this to say:
"a close examination Of the hair of
the reindeer furnishes an explanation
OF It's peculiar value. The hair does
not have q hollow space inside for its
whole length, but is divided or parti-
toned off into exceedingly numerous
cells, like water tight compartments.
These are filled with condensed air,
and their walls are so elastic and at
the same time of such strong resist
nee that they are not broken up ell
ther during the process of manufac-
ture or by swelling when wet. The
cells expand in water. ana tli's i lap

BUNGLE IN SENTENCE.

and Vandine, confronted the states
attorneys Office today. Instead OF
speedy hanging for the trio, a long
legal battle seemed in prospect.
The Illinois statute provides that the
date set for hanging must not be
earlier than the 10th day of the next
term of the supreme court, nor later
than the 25th. April %, the date on
which according to sentence, the ban
dts were to be hanged, will be the

Application was made today for
writs of habeas corpus in behalf of the
bandits. The writs were issued by
Judge Crytraus and were made re-
turnable on Monday.

The safety OF London Theaters.


There is no gangway through the
stalls in an English theater and only
two exits. so that in the event of a fire,
or, what is worse, of a panic, the rush
to these exits and up the steps in the
passages that skirt the back of the pit
and lead finally to the central lobby
would be terrible. One always feels
entombed in the stalls Of an English
theater.
However, feelings r n thing,
facts another. And there is no get
ting away from the fact that London
theaters are the safest in the world.
Year after year owe 300 places OF
public entertainment are licensed by
the London county council, twenty
three of them being theaters and the
rest music halls, concert halls, assem-
bly, rooms, dancing saloons, and SO on,
and in not a single n Of them has q
death been caused by fire for nearly
fifty years.-Sydney Brooks in Har-
