Jap Master and Man.

1t was in this melee of blood and sword
that saw sight that touched me deeply.
/ noticed two men in our ranks; and later
l found out that the younger of these men
came from a well-to-do Samurai family;
the older man was also from the same
place. In fact, the father of the older man
had spent all his life in the service of the
family from which the younger/man came.
On this terrific day, when they were
within few meters of the Russians, when
they fought with rocks, swords and any
thing they could get hold Of j saw these
men cling to each other closely. At the
height of the bloody excitement the older
seemed to be mindful of the younger al
ways. At one time few of the Russians
actually succeeded in rushing upon part
of our line. One of the Russians raised
the butt OF his rifle, about to strike the
younger of these two men. Then saw the
older swing forward and literally hurl down
the Russian with the bayonet through his
body. a little later the younger man was
shot in the leg and fell. saw the older
man forget himself completely, forsake his
gun, kneei down beside the young friend of
his. and not finding piece of cloth, he
tore the front of his shirt. He stuffed a
little piece of cloth into the bullet hole In
the leg of his friend. Then, after a little

AGAINST POOL ROOM.
Protest Filed by Colored Residents
Applicants Defense,

large number of colored residents in
the vicinity of 18th and U streets north
west appeared before the District Commits
sioners today to protest against the re-
newal of the license of Charles Clutch to
operate pool room at 2eo0 18th street.
The directors declared that the section
mentioned has gained a wide reputation us
the best colored residential section in the
country, and that photographs of DWELL
ings in this section were exhibited at the
Paris exposition. They declared that the
maintenance of a pool room in their neigh
borhood has had a bad influence upon the
young sons of the colored residents. 1t was
also alleged that the language used in and
about the pool room during the past year
was anything but lovely, and one colored
woman told the Commissioners that she
could not sit out on her front steps during
the summer evenings owing to the alleged
improper language INDUCED in by the pat
rons of the pool room.
The pastor of coored church at 18th
and v streets also opposed the renewal of
the license, and declared that many men,
bers of his congregation frequently COM
planned of having to pass by the pool room
in order to reach the church.
Several of the residents told the Commits
sioners that on one occasion they had seen
a man thrown out of the pool room, with
his head bleeding from cut. The speak
ers also complained of disorderly conduct
about the place.
Charles Clutch, when he arose to speak in
his own behalf, told the Commissioners that
he had never been educated for a teacher,
a preacher, a real estate broker or an ora
tor, but that he had to do whatever he
could to make living. He said he could
run a pool room, and thought he ought not
be denied that privilege. Clutch fatty de-
MED that any profane or Objectionable lam
guage is used about the pool room, and he
declared that there had never been fight
or an arrest in his place.
He said: II newer threw any man out of
my place with bleeding head, because the
man never got into my place. He staggered
up to the door. but before he could get in
we pushed him out, because it is rule of
the pool room that no drunken man Is al
lowed in it, asg ari
At the close of the hearing, which lasted
about two hours. the Commissioners stated
that they would consider the arguments
presented and annonace their decision later.

CENTRAL LABOR UNION
BUSINESS TRANSACTED AT REG
ULAR MEETING LAST NIGHT.
Organization Of Structural Trades ALI
ance Probable--New Union Ad-
mitted to Central Body.

At a well-attended) meeting OF the Cen
trail Labor Union.. held last night at COS
tello's Hall. 9th and G streets northwest, the
delegates of a newly organized local LABOR
body were welcomed and given seats IN the
central body by Vice President William ..
Crown, who filed the chair In the absence
Of President Dickman. The new organiZa-
ton Is known the Furniture F1nishers
Local Union, No. 1853, which Is animated
nationally with the Brotherhood OF PAINT
ers and Decorators. The local will be rep
resented in the Central Labor Union by five
delegates, who were present last night.
Another matter of Importance which came
before the central body concerned the
charge that certain contractors executing
government work in this city are violating
the provisions OF the eight-hour law The
committee of the Central Labor Union hav-
ing this matter in charge has been In
structed, it is said, to submit to the United
States district attorney whatever evidence
it may possess with view OF prosecuting
the alleged offenders.
Firemen Contented.
The stationary engineers and firemen in
the District expressed themselves as we'll
pleased with the outcome of the jurisd1c-
tional fight between their organizations ana
that of the brewery workers. At the con-
vention of the American Federation. of La
Dor at San Francisco, 1t was stated the dis
pute was settled favorably to the engineers
and firemen This matter had been bone
of contention between the two national
bodies for a long time, and the stationary
engineers at their recent national conVen-
ton in this city decided that unless the
outcome was favorable to their association
they would withdraw from the fedora ton.
The delegates last night informally dis
cussed the formation in this city of the
Structural Trades Alliance, and 1t was the
opinion of one of the representative men
of the central body that. the alliance would
absorb the council of Allied Building
Trades, as the alliance already has affiliat-
ed with it, he said, eleven of the building
trades.
The announcement was made that there
would be a meeting of the allied council
this evening, when 1t is expected the reor
ganization committee will make its report.

Old Brasses.
From Harper's Bazaar.


Russian brasses are possibly the heaviest
and finest In quality and color One may
find them in the queer little Russian shops
In the lower part of New York and Boston.
The growing interest in brasses has encour-
aged their importation, and If one has
patience to barter, many artistic treasures
may be obtained at very reasonable prices.
The most characteristic piece Is the SAM
ovar. These are treasured very highly by
those who are fortunate enough to possess
them. They are found in fnnumera Bile
shapes and sizes, witness to the tea
drinking habits of the Russians. Every
Russian peasant who Is prosperous enough
to enjoy the luxury of tea has his samoyar
At all inns each visitor is supplied with one
They invariably accompany the traveller
and the picnicker, and even the officers
starting out upon a campaign find room for
a small one in their baggage Samoyar
signifies ''self-boiier.' 1t Is made OF bra s

in which the hot cinders of charcoal are
placed after having been ignited. Often a
pipe connects II with the chimney, and two
