JAPANESE IMPERTURBABILITY is A DISGUISE

furnished the comedy that enlivened
the scene by repeatedly threatening to
batter his brains out on the pump. The
sergeant came to say good-by to his
sister and was going to leave without
seeing his mother, fearing that the
parting would make her worse But
she heard him and called him back
She was of the old Samurai stock and
war had been the lot of her family for
many generations.
Il belong to a house that has been
fed by the spear she said 1t was
her pride. not grief. that her son
should be a soldier Grief could come
only through disgrace to his honor, and
she bade him go and fight bravely for
his country.
Promptly upon his going came the
landlord, endeayoring to force the girl
to marry his son through the old
means so we'll known to stage villains
all over the world of demanding the
money that was due. But the lovesick
son would not submit to the employ
ment of such distressful means, and
again threatened to destroy himself.
The savior of the girl appeared in the
shape of an officer of the Soldiers Re-
lief Association, who made the land
lord agree to cut the rent in two, and
promised to see that the reduced sum
was paid regularly. What became of
the lovesick son did not appear, for the
revolving stage swung around and
there appeared a scene representing
the landing of the japanese troops
ten of them and six officers, all seasick
at Chemulpo.
BATTLE SCENES.
After that there were battle scenes
of most extraordinary character for
long time, and when we finally came
away, an amazing Russian, ambushed
behind huge red whiskers, who had
been taken prisoner at Pingyang, was
about to undergo trial for his life.
So without plot, and with much repe-
tition of incident, the play ran on. But
the thing about it all that was of strik-
ing interest was that the audience en-
Joyed and applauded and shared in a
revelation of intimately personal emo
tions on the stage such as not one of
them would have permitted himself to
make save in the privacy of his own
home and before his own people. 1t
was phase of Japanese life which
can be seen only in the theater and yet
1t was true. Its effect upon the patri-
-otic people in the audience was very
marked. When in one of the battle
scenes the Emperor's proclamation de-
claring war was read it was heard in
breathless silence and cheered to the
echo.
The people all over the country have
walked up at last from the trance-like
repression of the first few days after
the war began. Now down through the
country traversed by the railroads flags
futter constantly from every house,
and strings of streamers faunt from
many poles. At nearly every road

PARIS, April 9.-Premier Combes'
order to remove crucifixes and other
religious emblems from the court

Again his emotion overcame him and
he gave way to a renewed outburst OF
weeping, In which the maid joined
Both servants wept bitterly, but the
mistress turned her back on them and
maintained her proud self-control.
THE COMEDY ELEMENT.
Then to relieve the strained feelings
of the audience some comedy was in
troduced. The villain appeared in the
shape of the father of the girl whom
the lieutenant had Tilted when he
married the heroic young woman who
refused to weep. The father had sworn
to revenge his daughters wounded
pride. He had bought a note which the
young lieutenant had signed as guar
antor for a friend. The friend had been
called to the coIors also. and being
unable to pay, the holder of the note
had come to demand his money from
the lieutenant's wife.
1t was a very unpopular proceeding.
The audience demanded vigorously
that he be thrown out. or killed. Some
wanted his head cut off. Others de-
sized to have him strangled. Some
asked to have his neck broken. But
unmindful Of jeers and taunts he
steadily demanded his money. Finally
the old servant, whose tears had been
dried, fell on him and smote him, hip
and thigh, finally chucking him out of
the house bodily There was first
rate fight, in the Japanese open handed
style, and the old servant was getting
the better of it, amid the vociferous
plaudits of the audience, when the vii
lain's daughter appeared and ran in to
help her father.
Thereupon the maid came out with
bowl of salt and began to throw it
in liberal quantities on the Tilted girl.
Four or five soldiers came along the
street just then and separated the
combatants. The villain promptly be-
gan to declaim to the officer who was
his money. He had not gone far when
the old servant, who was painting with
rage and eXertion, and eager to get at
his man again, interrupted and ex-
planned the true state of affairs. The
result was a renewal of the scuffle, in
which all the soldiers Joined in pound
ing the villain with the unqualified and
vigorous approval of the audience. But
another officer appeared who put
stop to the row, and the scene ended
by his paying his brother officers debt,
to the great disgust of the old servant,
and of the audience.

Dead Men Blamed.

A Coroner's jury yesterday fixed
the responsibility for the deaths of
Andrew Quinn and Michael Griffin
upon the dead men themselves. Grif-
fin and Quinn were laborers in the
Lantry Bros quarry and were killed
on June 13 by a premature explosion
Of Hercules powder. The verdict of
the jury was that death had been
caused by shock following accidental
amputation of both legs of both men
and that the explosion occurred by
reason Of their own carelessness in
handling the powder.
