FALSE EAR FAILED HIM.
Fell Off ana Spoiled a Romance and
 Broke a Heart.

The ear that failed and fell, and in falling blighted a life. spoiled a TO- nance, broke a heart and lost a fer tune to Japanese lover, gave a comic opera cast to the suit for $25 and cost S wor by Dr. Alfred Beck, of East TWenty-flrst street against William Eisen, a manufacturer of trusses an1 bandages. before Justice Herman Jo- seph in the Seventh municipal court. The ear was a rubber one and was made by pr. Beck at the behest of Eisen, who said it was for a Japan s, gentleman of high degree. Here the TO-
 nance came in. Many years ago in Japan the client of Eisen lost an auric- ular appendage in a duel and was proud of his evidence of personal prowess until he came to these United States, where ears are customary
 In an ardent suit for the heart, hand and bank account of an heiress, the Jap found he was handicapped by the lack of an ear and fearful that his ha'r worn long on the earless side, might be brushed back in some unlucky moment and disclose the situation to the young woman of his choice, he offered Eisen $50 to get him an artificial ear.
 Eisen agreed to get it for $75 and gave the contract to Beck, with plaster casts of the ear that was and cf the stump that occupied the place CT me ear that was not, and in due time the rubber imitation was delivered. A spring served to attach it to the slitor's head.
 Fully cared, the Jap called upon the hciress. She was alone in the draw irgrGom and she smiled upon him. HIS long delayed confession cf adorction then and there was made. When he reached the part about never having loved another and was sailing along finely to the passage anent being true, dear, to you always" the false ear slipped from its moorings and fell into the girls lap.
 It bounded tO the floor beside the knecling Jap. Explanations were va n. and the girl hurried from the room
 Unable to square matters the Jap returned the ear and refused to pay fir 1t. Eisfn, in turn, refused to pay Beck the maker, until the deCisicn went against him in court.-New York Mail.

CRUISER CAUSES SIR
Neutrality Law Involved by
Presence of Russian Vessel

Washington. Sept. 12.-The navy depart
ment today received a dispatch from
Rear-Admiral Goodrich at Mare Island
stating that the Russian transport Lena
had arrived and that her commanding
officer claimed that his ships engines
and boilers were IN need of repairs. Sec
re.ary Morton telegraphed Rear-Admirai
Goodrich, commander-in-chief of the Pa
ciic station. directing him to de ain the
Pacific squadron at San Francisco anu
to inquire OF the commander of the Lenn
what his intentions are.
Goodrich's report caused a great stir
in official circles here. The entry of he
ship was entirely unexpected and was a
disagreeab,e event. for it had been hoped
by the officials that America would es-
cape heing drawn into the necessity of
making close decisions regarding the
ports.
The presence of the Russian transport,
so-called, in San Francisco harbor, in
wolves the APP licatloh of the Unitee
ates neutral ty laws, and 1t was said
at the state depar ,ment that 1t was the
duty, under the presidents proclamation
of neutrality, for the treasury officials
there--the collector of customs and sur
veyor of the port and United States Dis
trict Aattorney in San Francisco to take
any action necessary in this matter. in
other words. the case is purely internal
as 1t stands. though it may become c.<
ternal at any moment, and thus requ re
action by the state department in the
event that another a,ion. Japan, for in
stance officially calls attention to the
Lena presence in San Francisco harbor.
1t is said at the state department that
in international law there is no difference
recognized between transport and a bat
tleship. though there seemed TO be an
intimation conveyed In the San Francisco
dispatches that the captain of the Rus
sian ship thought otherwise. and was dis
posed to claim exemption from the rules
