should not fall into the hands of the
enemy. Particular and scrupulous to
the last, the officers had persuaded
Capt. Sakurai, who did not belong to
their regiment, of the inadvisability of
his dying with them. Sapt. Sakurai,
an old experienced officer, regarded
by the general stan as one of the
smartest officers of the army in North
ern Korea, left his comrades, and the
manner of his death is unknown.
According to report, however, it
seems there was not perfect unan-
unity in the manner the officers should
meet their death. 1t is stated that
Lieut. Terada dissented from the COM
mand of Capt. Shiina that the officers
should die together, and left the ship,
vowing that he would sell his life to
the enemy, but die fighting, What
became Of Lieut.. Terada is not known.
The end of the men was equally
tragic. Some minutes after Capt.
Shiina had given his last commands,
which left the soldiers to their own
resources, Sergt Kurisu and Corpl.
Horisaka committed suicide by shoot
ing each other, and many followed
this example. Sergt. Okano went Oh
deck, drew his sword and committed
karl kari, in example we are
told, which was also followed
ny I'll HIS luGAl. "a Idl4l-
err more soldierlike way of spend
ing the last moments of their lives
was that Of Corpl. Hashimoto and
some sixty men, who from the deck
fired repeatedly at the Russians by
the corporars command. The enemy
replied with fatal effect, but the end
of all was now near Fifty minutes
after the first torpedo was discharged
a second torpedo truck the Kinshui-
Maru, and nearly cut the vessel into
two parts. 1t sank in thirteen min
utes, but during this time a hot fire
was kept up by the Japanese, who
went down with the ship, cheering
and singing the march song of their
regiment.
The final stage of this chapter of the
the war is well known-how about
sixty of the men succeeded in getting
clear of the ship, either before or aft
er she sank, and reaching the coast,
but there were non-combatants whose
fate is quite uncertain, blue-jackets
and coolies, whom, it is about posi-
BILE the Russians may have picked up
afterward. The end of many on board
the Kinshiu-Maru is one more strik-
ing example of the heroism with which
men can be inspired when the alter
native to death is surrender and the
sense of military disgrace.

MAN MUST NOT LlNGER
IN SHOPPING DISTRICT.
All Manner of CaIamities in Store
for the Merry Man That Does.

From the New York Sun.
"A few days ago gained a new idea
of the sense and safety of the move-on
policy for male persons living in lit
de old New York" said a we'll groom
ed but wholly unobstrusive man OF
thirty-five. Before 1 left for the Of
flee on that morning my wife direct
ed me to be sure to meet her at
certain crowded corner in the shop
ping district at 2 o'clock that after
noon, to help her pick out a tailored
suit for herself.
Clever little plan of my wfe's that,
by the way, asking me to help her
select her things, and her protested
reliance upon my judgment in such
matters no doubt costs me a pretty ex-
ira penny on the wardrobe and milli-
merry accounts every year. But that
hasn't anything to do with the neces-
sity for a man to keep a-moving when
he's in the shopping district.
Il was on the corner in front of one
of the big department stores on the
minute. My wife, of course, wasn't.
As l hadn't expected her to be there
promptly 1 wasn't much disappointed.
''Aimlessly, to put in the time of wait
ing for her and without really seeing

of the details of the garments, l was

with trimmings of lace and ribbon
and fluffy stuff.
II didn't know that I was doing any,
thing wrong, you understand, in cast
ing unseeing, nonrubbering glances
over these things. But it seems that
/ was.
Il first became aware of my bold and
unblushing impertinence when a group
of three middle aged shopping women
ranged themselves in front of the lin
gerie window-for that, as you may
have surmised, is what it was-and
began to hurl dagger glances in my
direction.

to hear one of them exclaim.

1T was only then that / became
slware-distinctly aware, that is-of
the nature of the window display to-

impudent glances.
Il hurried away from that window.
In my confusion and utterly without
any vicious intent. / halted before the
hosiery window display, in which were
exhibited many seemingly correct
models Of the female limb, draped with
fancy stockings, only stopped
there for the purpose Of gathering my
self together and to take a peek at
my watch, and solemnly asseverate
that 1 didn't rubber at those hosiery
draped limb models even out of the
tail Of my eye.
