SHARP CONTEST PROMISED.

The Marquis processes to treat the
claims of the blacksmith with con-
tempt, but it is declared that he has
secretly used his wealth and influence
to put every obstacle in the way of
those who are seeking evidence to
prove him an irnpostor, in which he
is assisted by the Spanish authorities.
Parish registers and original docu-
ments of which certified copies have
been obtained have mysteriously dis
appeared and Spanish witnesses have
been arrested on f1imsy pretexts,
among them the magistrate who drew
up the certified copy of the real Alex
androS death.
The story is virtually a twentieth
century version of that of the Marquis
de Carabas. Popular interest in it has
been heightened by a theory put for
ward that it is sequel to the Hum
bert case and that the old Marquis
was the original Crawford who fur
nished the millions with which La
Grande Therese gulled her creditors.

POOR RELATION BOBS UP.

POOR RELATION BOBS UP.
In Spain the old Marquis had many
poor relations. and some of them
dreamed of the huge fortune which
had been left in Paris and wondered
how it happened that no share of it
had come to them. Among them was
the blacksmith. Peter Riera, man of
great natural shrewdness and keen
appreciation of the value of money,
for which all his life he had worked
so hard. A few months ago he Jour
neyed from Catalonia to Paris to in
quire into the matter for himself.
Learning that the old Marquis had
been blind and infirm for many years
before his death, he came to the con-
clusion that there was good ground
for an action to set his will aside on
the ground of the testator's mental in
capacity.
For this undertaking he found some
researches and inquiries made con-
vinced him and his financial allies
that he had a far better case than he
had figured on. Chief among these
was the discovery, as proven by par
ish register, 1t was alleged, that Alex
andre Mora, brother of Jose Mora
had died in 1878 at San Martino de
Sarroca, more than three years before
Jose himself died. From this followed
naturally the conclusion that the man
who had obtained possession of the
property of the Marquis was an inn
postor who had personated the dead

The Most Wonderful System of Ath-
leticS In the World.

More than $500 years ago there
sprang into existence in Japan an or
der of knights who were known as the
samurai To them was impaired all
the learning, the polite breeding and
the forms of superiority that mark the
gentleman. They were skilled in arms
and versed in the arts of war, for they
were the emperor's fighting men, and
none but they were allowed to bear
arms.
AS there could not always be war on
hand, and as it was considered be-
meath the dignity of the samurai to go
into any ordinary callings, it came
about naturally that these little knights
found much idle time on their hands.
Being men of war, they turned their
attention to athletic feats.
One among the samurai conceived
the idea of learning by practice the
location of every sensitive nerve and
muscle in the body. After that he dis
covered all the joints of the bones that
could be seized in such a way as to
give momentary power-over the mus
cles Of an adversary. He practiced
with his fellow samurai, and thus by
degrees was developed the most won
derful system Of athletics known in
the world.
The Japanese call this work jiu-jitsu.
The deft pressures applied in the prac-
tice of jiu-jitsu produce only momen-
tary pain, but do not really injure the
muscles or nerves. In all other things
the Japanese are the most polite peo-
pie in the world. So it follows that
even in their fighting they have de-
veloped a humane yet effective method
of self defense. They do not strike out
with the clinched fist and seek to
bruise, as do the Anglo-Saxons in their
boxing contests.
A knowledge of jiu-jitsu enables one
almost instantly to convince his oppo-
nent that it is useless to fight There
are now schools Of jiu-jitsu everywhere
in Japan. Every soldier, sailor and
policeman is obliged to perfect himself
in the system. A Japanese policeman,
possessed of the art, has been known
single handed to reduce to submission
and to take to the police station four
sturdy sailors Of foreign Asiatic

The Milwaukee Free Press is
still trying to figure out the diff
ference between the letters sd"
and ct" so that the use of either
will make people think the Al
torney General who ''swiped"
another mans correspondence,
did something great for which he
should be distinguished instead
of held up as very common small
potatoes. It will be rather
queer if the United States postal
authorities do not take hand in
trying to solve the puzzle; and if
such a thing should be done by
the postal department. Mr..
Stu" ''evant will likely wonder
why he wasn't christened with
ct" in his surname. II men
like the Attorney General
are to be praised for the com
mission of such lawless acts
then why should it be expected
that the common masses of peo-
pie should consider it an act of
violation of the laws to open and
make use of other peoples mail.

The pictures of twenty dis
tinguished Milwaukee citizens
appeared IN group in Tues
days issue of the Free Press,
and one could not help but ex-
claim when looking over the list
of handsome faces: "What re-
preventative looking men these
are" But the headlines are
what strike home with terror,
for in black letters over these
handsome faces are the words:
"Ofhcials and ex-officials indict-
3D." The list starts off with
Senator Barney A. Eaton, and
runs down through a list of al
dermen, supervisors, house OF
correction officials, book keepers
and others. Even the great pub
Usher Razell has since been
added 20 the list and the grand
jury is not through with it's
work yet. The men are accused
of eruption in official positions
and with working games of
graft, accepting, soliciting or
rendering bribes. II Milwau-
kee is not careful the impression
is going to get abroad that it is
tough city, and this will be un-
fortunate indeed for the first city
of the state after it has boasted
that it is one of the most order
ly places in the world and as
free from crime as any city
in the United States, all owing
no doubt to the fact that it has
the biggest breweries, the
largest beer stems and the
greatest number OF free and easy
saloons for men, women and
children of any place on the
American continent. The whole
affair simply means that Milwau-
kee has been in the hands of lot
of corruptionists and that the
best instincts of citizenship are
now dominant in the handling OF
affairs wherein there has been
official corruption, and the guilty
are brought up to the rack, one
by one and in punches, to take
their well-deserved medicine.
Let the good work go on.
THINGS are quiet in Washburn
just now-they always are dur
ing the winter months, and if the
truth could be determined it
would probably be brought out
that the season is not any more
quiet chan others that have pre-
coded it. These are actual facts
though, and what is the result?
Nearly every business house and
nearly every business man is
bowling about hard times.
Their little tale of woe has ex-
tended into every walk of life,
with the result that the fellow
who can pay bills and won't is
using the popular public groan
to stand off his creditors. Moth
ing does a town half as much
harm as to find every one carry
ing their troubles around on
their coat sleeves and crying for
better times and complaining
of the present. Things can be
many times worse. 1t should be
the duty of all citizens interested
in the general welfare to try to
put an end to all this endless
complaint. Tell your troubles
to a policeman, but caution him
not to repeat your difficulties.
Then look pleasant, and "boost,
don't knock" Put the best side
out and thus help your town, in
stead of working and talking
to it's detriment. Try it.

Lessons From Slocum Disaster.

Lessons From Great Disaster" was the
subject of a sermon yesterday morning by
Rev. DR.. Arthur II. Thompson, pastor OF
the Wilson Memorial Methodist Episcopal
Church DIR. Thompson recounted some of
the horrors of the recent burning of the
General Slocum, adding that the ways of
Providence are past finding out. He spoke,
in part. follows:
I'VE do not know why God allows the de-
struction and misery that is occasioned by
the cyclone, hurricane, earthquake, flood
and fire, but II is undoubtedly to some di-
vine end. In reviewing the account of the
disaster, the first lesson we draw is a reve-
lation of human nature. In the moment of
peril and excitement what, in man, is noble
or ignoble. high-minded or gross, comes to
the surface and we see him as he Is. He
will act the hero or the coward, the agent
of mercy or of cruelty.
