WHAT JAPANESE
TRAINS ARE LIKE

The railway traveller in Japan buys
Il first, second or third class ticket
q, if he wishes to go cheaper still,
he can get a ticket emitting him
simply to stand on the platform.
Many of the cars can be entered Ell
[lEer from the side Or the end. The
principal difference between the first
and the second class coaches is the
color of the upholstering. None Of
the cars are very clean. Many of the
third class coaches could serve, with,
out much alteration, as ordinary pig
stss. This is all the more remarka-
BILE when the uncomfortable cleanli
ness of the Japanese home life, even
of the humblest. is taken into con-
sideration, says Th Booklovers Mag
aZinc.
An explanation of this may be that
the Japanese have little regard for
The cleanliness of any place where
they keep their shoes or clogs, on.

Gated in the western section of the

said on good authority that none of

The successor of Quay as manager

METHODIST CONFERENCE
COMPLETES ITS LABORS

Los Angeles, Cal. May 30.-The
general conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church which has just
closed will go down to history as the
most emorable gathering of the
church.
The action Of the conference in re-
firing four bishops and electing elev-
en- others probably attracted the wild
est attention of any other single hap
pening, but there were many other
subjects that affected the great mem
bership of the Methodist church and
which were watched with deep inter-
est. Among these were:
| The decision to stand by the present
attitude Of the church on the subject
of prohibited amusements; the refusal
| to return to the time limit of pastoral
services; the generating of certain
| theological schools of the charge Of
heretical teachings; the unification
of the Methodist publishing houses; the
| consolidation of the boards Of church
| beneyolences; providing means of sup
port for superannuated ministers; fix
| ing the status Of superannuated bish-
| ops; creating commission to revise
the ritual Of the church; continuing
the commission appointed four years
] ago to bring the various branches of
| Methodism closer together in the use
of common prayer book, hymnal and
catechism and referendum of the
much discussed question OF a colored
bishop.

HEARSI'S DOODLE (
Z COULD not BUY
Collapse Of Yellow Journalist +
Campaign for Presidential
Candidacy Announced.

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, May 30.-Walter Wellman
in a Washington special to the Record
Herald says:
The financial and political collapse
of the Hearst presidential boom is the
talk Of the hour. Little surprise was
expressed here when news came from
st. Louis that Mr.. Hearst had can
l.celed his contract for $50 hotel rooms
during the convention week in that
city and that he had informed his
lieutenants that no more funds would
be furnished for political operations.
| It had been understood here for some
time that Hearst was nearly at the end
of his string, SO far as spending money
for delegates was concerned, and that
| the hour was near at hand when he
would find it necessary to cut Off his
campaign expenses and husband his
resources in taking care of his news
According to the version given this
morning by the washington Post, a
paper which from the first has been
friendly to Hearst, in a letter to A
M. Lucas at st. Louis, Mr.. Lawrence
western manager Of Mr.. Hearsts In
terests, quoted Hearst as follows:
IF the people want me they car
have me;;e if they don't want me
don't want the place"
i In other words, Mr.. Hearst has dis
i covered at last that the presidency o:
4 the United States cannot be bought
He has tried and failed, and at las
knows he has failed. But he makes
the discovery, according to the bes
4 information, only after spending
princely fortune in the vain pursuit Q
this will-o'- wisp Of his inord1nate am
bition.
The estimate which gave SOM
i weeks ago, coming from one o
Hearst's New York employees, that tn
Hearst boom had up to that time COS
a million and half Of dollars, Is nov
believed to be too low a figure. Other
his expenditures declare that tn
grand total will rise to two millions o
dollars.

Delegates for Journalist Won't Cut
Any Figure at ST. Louis.
From The journal Bureau, Colorado Build
ing, Washington.
washington, May 30.-It is note
worthy that Hearst has closed MS
very expensive publicity bureau IN
this CITY. and discharged horde Of
editors reporters and publicity ex-
perts, who have been furnishing
anews" regarding the Hearst presiden-
tial candidacy since early last winter.
a The Hearst barrel" has been
plugged up in half a dozen places, 1t
is said, and from this time on the am
bilious young editor will spend his
money with prudence. Two reasons
are given for this sudden curtailing
tof expenses. In the first place, Hearst
realizes that he will not be nominated,
and in the next place, the delegates to
the democratic convention are prac-
tically all elected, and there is no fur
Their excuse for publicity campaign.
Hearst. will go to the convention
controlling between 100 and l25 dele
gates, it is estimated here, and will not
cut any serious figure there. He will
not bolt, which may possibly effect
Bryan's feeling for him.
Bryan, it is currently reported in
| the east, will not support Parker,
|. Cleveland, or any man Of that type.
If such man should be nominated,
| the east believes that Bryan will go
| out of the convention, and announce
that he, will support Roosevelt. Many
old line democrats of the Cleveland
and ELL school think this would be
| good way to be rid of Bryan, and they
are only sorry that the rumor that he
will bolt is not thoroly verified.

New York, May 80-Four persons were
injured to-day, one Of them probably IA
tally, in the partial collapse of the old
fashioned four-story brick building In
East Eighth street, which was occupied
by a saloon and two small firms Of hat
manufacturers. The collapse is supposed
to have resulted from undermining the
wall on the easterly side, where an exca-

sons were employees of the hat factories.
