THE SIGN BOARD EVIL.
Governor of New jersey Says Beau.
ties of State Are Hidden Conn
pletely by Advertisements.

New Jersey is to be made beautiful
if Gov. Murphy can have his way. 1t
is his hope to disentangle the scenery
of the state from the mass of advertis-
ing signs which now hide it from the
view of the public.
The governor considers the evil of
sufficient enormity to demand special
attention in his message to the legisla-
ture. He makes the following statement
regarding the signs of the times:
. Il venture with some dnfidence to
call the attention of the legislature to
the increasing number of advertising
signs located on various lines of rail-
way throughout the state, and I hope
some means may be devised not only
to prevent their increase but to re-
move those already in existence
New Jersey is beautiful state.

USES STRONG LANGUAGE.
Substance of MississipDf Governors
Message, Which Is Resented by
Northern Educators,

In his inaugural address delivered
before a joint session of the two
houses of the Mississippi legislature,
Gov. James X. Vardaman declared that
the growing tendency of the negro to
attack white women is nothing more
or less than the manifestation of the
racial desire for social equality. In
strong and >unmeasured terms he de-
clared that education is the curse of
the negro race, and urged the legisla-
ture to enact an amendment to the
constitution that will place the dis
tribution of the common school fund
solely within the power of the legis-
lature. s E+
This is the essence of the platform
on which Gov. Vardaman was elected
in the state campaign last summer, and
his utterances on the negro problem
are even stronger than any of his

while on duty, as his behavior when not
soldering. II s.
Alfred Stead says that you can go all
over Japan and never see drunken SOL
dier-that is, Japanese soldier When
off duty, soldiers go about in the quiet
estmanner imaginable. Their principal
diversion is drinking tea with their
friends, or hanging about the old book
shops. Unless a Jap is actually en-
gagged in war, you will find him an ex-
tremely childlike creature.
On war footing, however, the Japan
ese soldier is anything but childlike.
The training of the Japanese soldiers is
one of the most exact of sciences. Pupils
are so apt, however, they acquire tao
tics, and master mechanical details so
remarkably, that seldom more than
four months is required to convert a
peaceable citizen into a skillful soldier
Quickness and individual aptitude
are the distinguishing characteristics of
the Japanese soldier. In this, he pre-
sents remarkable contrast to the SOL
der material of other nations-with ex-
ception of the Americans, perhaps.
The peace footing of the Japanese
army is $4,000 train men; the complete
war basis being $4,000 officers and
men, exclusive Of transport. ,2=ss
The watchword of the Japanese army
is "up-to-date. There is not military
maneuver known to European or Amer
lean army practice that has not been
carefully studied in Japan. All the arms
and equipment of every sort are modern
to a degree, the army keeping up with
improvements as soon as they come out,
and testing constantly to acquire the
best arms. "
Taking the japanese soldier for all in
all, he stands to-day at the very top
notch Of modern efficiency in matters of
war, and he will assuredly ,acquit him
self well in any contingency.

Auto Story from Florida.

In Florida recently, so the story
goes, an alligator was chasing pick
aninny" across a road, when suddenly
a 20 horsepower automobile struck the
reptile, breaking its neck The only
damage to the car was a puncture,
caused by one of the alligator's teeth.
The reptile is to be stuffed and present
ed by the driver of the car to the Au-
tomobile Club of America.

IN the early days of army organiza-

employed to impart instruction, but in

iahk' The trained army of Japan to-

according to Japenese CONSUMPTION
law all males between II and 40 years

army or navy. Conscripts are divided
among various branches of the service,
...ofu1ng to age, physical ability, or in
.ellectuai capacity. Consumption lasts
y years and four months, divided into
actual service and reserves.
Service is required for the first three
years after entering the japanese army,

CONSUMPTION is IL years, length of actual

Few men in Japan are actually conscript-
cd until their twentieth year In recent
years. very few men have been called
out. In 1897 there were called only 20
1oO out OF a conscript list OF $50 900
available men.
Japanese citizens greatly prefer the
army to the navy, as the profession of
the sailor is more or less looked down
upon. This is due mainly to the Japan
csc love for home life, the calling of the
sea taking men away from their fam
lilies, whereas, the soldier, even when
actively in the army, may often visit his
home. Another reason-quite japanese
is the fact that the soldiers uniform
is far more pleasing to the japanese
sense OF color than is that Of the sailor.

Empress Augusta Victoria is the
spouse of the German emperor, Wilhelm
H., to whom she was married February

manner and popular with all classes.
The empress is member of the house

AMERICAN HEIRESSES.
Their Moral and Mental Constitution
as Viewed by the Critical
Enxlish DANES.

TIE number of American heiresses
who have recently married peers or their
relatives is really formidable, says the
London Saturday Review. Now an heir
ess nearly always comes of an unhealthy
or barren stock, else she would not be
an heiress. AS rule, an heiress is an
only child. American fortunes are so
gigantic that sometimes there is enough
to make millionaire brother and mill
lionaire sister, or even two of the lat
ter. But it will not be denied that Amer
lean girls, whether from their climate,
their diet, their habits, or the exciting,
wearing lives Of their fathers, are not
so strong and healthy as English girls.
Their choice. therefore, by the best Eng
lishmen as wives cannot, on physical
grounds. be matter of congratulation
With regard to the moral and mental
constitution of the American woman,
Lady Sykes pronounces her to be cold,
calculating, and devoted to the pleasure
of social excitement. Like all judg-
ments of this kind, it is perhaps too
sweeping, but who can deny that there
is much truth in It? 1t does not re-
quire any very intimate knowledge of
life in the United States to be aware that
the father or husband is regarded by his
7vomankind as mere machine for the
production of dollars, to be squandered
ON dresses diamonds, and visits to Lon
don and Paris. The calm way in which
the American man is left at home while
his wife and daughters are scattering
thousands in European hotels must often
have struck the observant This sort of
arrangement does not tend to stimulate
the domestic affections or to cultivate a
sense of duty in any sphere. 1t inev-
ltably makes women exacting, heartless

Gateway to Russian Market.

Warsaw is said to be the gateway for
the introduction of foreign manufactures
into Russia. Conditions here are favor
able to the introduction of foreign goods
not only on account of the location geo.
graphically, with all the attendant facili-
ties for shipment, but more particularly
because of deep prejudice against Ger

extent of almost a boycott of all German
articles. The French, British and Aus

take advantage of this, and their sales

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 29.-Messrs.
Jacob Goldberg, Max Berkovitz and L.
E. r. Robinson, constituting the new
Russian commission to the worlds fair,
arrived today from ST. Petersburg.
Mr.. Goldberg, who is editor of the
Imperial Court Chronicle, and whose
twenty years service for the Russian
government has given him an intimate
acquaintance with M. Won Plehve, the
murdered minister, said:
Won Plehve was a brave man: I
worked under him and 1 knew him
well. He received every day a stack of
anonymous letters, many threatening
his life, but he paid no attention to
them. He was too busy attending to
the work of the government.
The killing of Won Plehve, in nv
opinion, was not due to personal dis
like of him. 1t was more of protest
against the manner in which. the office
of the minister of the interior is con-
Quoted. His predecessor in office was
aSsaSslnated in similar way.
The revolutionists evidently thought
1T would be an opportune time to dis
turb the country when so many of the
troops are at the front.
american newspapers have been
none too kind to Won Plehve. AS a
matter of fact, Won Plehve helped
american newspapers. He removed
the censorship from the correspond
ents. When Mr. Stone and Mr. Thomn-
son, of the Associated Press, called on
him at the beginning of the war. he
agreed to let the American correspond
ents copy all the war bulletins as fast
as they came to the government. Pre-
siously they could not gee them at all.
