SHARP RET|RES
FROM BUSINESS
One Of Oldest Mercantile
Men in City Steps Down
After Successful Career
FIRM NAMED W. 4, SMITH & co,
Old Age W. B. sharp's Reason for Re-
signins-The Present Cwnsr Entered
Store as a Clerk More Than Thirty

With the dissolution OF partnersnip
Of the firm Of w. B. Sharp & Com
pany there is little story showing
what pluck and energy. backed by
determination to succeed will accom-
plsh.
The business was started at the pres
sent stand in 1871 by ". e. sharp. At
that time the building was a two-story
structure which had been vacated hy
the Mechanics Bank. There were
about o dozen clerks at the time Of the
iopening. Now the establishment boasts
Of half a hundred employees
About n year after the store was
opened ". " Smith was employed as
a clerk. lie worked his way up until
he became -an assistant TO Afr Sharp
in the management and in 1857 he was
admitted into the firm as half owner.
During the past four or FIVE years Mr.
Smith has practically run the store.
MIR. sharp Is now eiyhty-thrco years
old and desiring to get out OF the
business hls retired leaving Il entirely
TO Mr smith The firm name Will
hereafter be W. III. Smith g Company.
I'm 1889 the present store containing
fve floors was built 10 accommodate
The growing business and since that
time the store next door has also been
acquired.
During its thirty-thrce years OF ex-
istence the store has practically been
conducted ON the same lines. to which
is probably due lis success.

TIMES UP FOR
RUSS|A'S REPLY
Protest Against Delayed
Action by the Car by
Japan
DECISIVE MOVE is VERY NEAR
Cabinet Conference at Toxic Receives
Assurances From Finaneers as to the
sinews That Would Be Needed in
Case Of War.

Toxic. Jan. 21.--The Japanese gov
ernment has diplomatically intimated
to Baron de Rosen. the Russian min
lister, that an early response is desired
TO Japan's recent note 10 Russia.
II is calculated here that the Japan
Csc note reached the Russian cabinet
on the afternoon of January 16. and il
is felt that sufficient time has elapsed
for it's consideration and the prepara-
ton of a reply.
The japanese government is unwil-
ling TO permit evasions and delays
which are designed TO gain time.
The future course of the Japanese
government is a carefully guarded Sc
lcret. The length Of the time that Japan
is prepared 10 await the pleasure of
Russia is unknown. It seems probable
that IL has been determined to act de-
cisively within a few days. The pop
ular temper has long opposed further
delay.
People Would Welcome War.
While many objected to Japan's tax
ing the initiative. a majority would
now welcome the issuance Of a brief ul-
timatum. and a declaration of war. il
that should prove ineffective. SONS
outside opinion here inclines to the be-
! lief that the activity of the japanese
viii be limited to the seizure of Korea.
which enterprise, it is thought Russia
would not oppose.
The Japanese government proceeds
with absolute secrecy. and the people
OF Japan are not even informed of the
exact nature of the demands made OF
Russia.
Assurances From Finaneiers.
The cabinet and the elder statesmen
had a long conference today. discuss
ing the financial programme in th'
event of war with Russia.
Japanese financiers in general are of
fering very generous assistance. and /
is now evident that the governmen

sum Of money at home without hav
ing TO place dependence upon borrow

aTne whole Of that apartment" ha
relates, ~both wan and floor, was ntain-
ed with human blood"
Neither gold nor jewels % Adorn
the idol. The gold-loving Spauiards
speedily stripped these vaiuRbles of
and sent them across the Atlantic an
trophies OF their expedition. This stone
image and other idols in the temple
were thrown down and for 300 years
kept buried from the sight Of the ma
tives. The heather temple itself was
demolished, and on the very spot where
that magnificent structure stood the
ardent Spaniards built the Great
Cathedral of Mexico, that grand church
edilce costing s $4,000, 900, with affairs
and shrines lavishly adorned with sill"
yer and gold and dedicated to the
saints and the God Of the, Christian
faith.
In another part of the museum is
the famous sacrifcial stone on which
the victims to be offered up to the God
Of War were placed. The stone is dark,
and three feet high. Its surface is COW
cred with nicely designed carvings. In
the centre is a bowl-like depression.
From this a groove two inches deep
leads to the outside.
This stone once occupied a conspicu-
GUS place in the temple in the days OF
Montezuma. Human sacrifice was prac-
ticed ON this stone almost every day.
The supply of human hearts, which
were kept burning night and day be-
fore the god Of val was unfailing.
Blood flowed most freely on feast days.
when war was being waged against
neighboring tribes, when several hum
dred victims sometimes would be offer
ed in @ single day.
The manner of sacrifice was cruel.
The ceremony was performed by five
priests, four Of whom were robed in
long gowns of white, and one, the exc
cutioner, was robed in scarlet.
When q victim had been brought for.
ward he was seized by four priests,
placed upon the stone, and each, grasp
ing one OF his limbs, held him helpless
while the executioner, armed with an
obsidian knife, stood over him and de-
iberately extracted the heart, which
he then held aloft in view Of the shout
ing thousands assembled around the
temple. When the bleeding, pulsating
seat OF life had ceased to drip, that
gruesome object was cast into the vase
OF hearts, the lifeless body removed
and another captive brought forward.
The vase of hearts can now be seen in
Nthe museum.
