There is the art of being a grand
mother-one of the most agreeable
and useful of woman's accomplish
ments. 1t has the joys of motherhood
without its responsibilities. The
grandmother at forty is only the be-
ginning Of a grandmother. At sixty
she has q small store of experiences Of
whooping cough and college "scrapes"
and love affairs and weddings on
which she may draw as occasion re-
quires. bul at eighty the accumulation
is really Splendid.
The grace and repose of the grand
mother preserve ideals for the younger
generation which the strenuous de-
mands Of the world too often force the
mother to neglect. The art of staying
at home aid yet keeping a travelled
mind and spirit is not acquired before
seventy.

IS NOT ANTI-AMERICAN
Taft Cables Roosevelt As to Toxic
Riots.
SAYS POLICE CAUSED THE TROUBLE.
Explains the Origin aud Effect Of Recent
Violent Demonstrations and Ssys the
japanese Government Is Anxious 20 Con-
tinue the Friendly Relations With United
States.

Oyster Bay, l.. I. (SpeciaD .-Secre-
tary Taft in a cablegram from Toxic
has conveyed to the President the assur-
ances of the Japanese government, given
10 him personally, that the recent riots
IN Japan were. not anti-American dem
onstrations. Secretary Taft says the
rioting has subsidized, and that the mem
bers of his party have not been subjected
to the least indignty. He expresses
confidence that the friendship of Japan
for America is abiding. Following is
the text of Secretary Taft's dispatch,
which was made public by direction of
the President:
Toxic, September II, 1905.
The President:
Japanese government is very anxious
that the disturbances in Toxic and other
towns should not be cousidered as anti
American demonstrations They say
they arose as follows: Many of the Jap
anese people were disappointed because
their hopes in respect to the results of
the war had been greatly exaggerated by
unexpected and uniform victories. Tnese
people in Toxic wished i'll a peaceable
manner TO protest on the subject, but
the police authorities of Toxic unwiSe-
ly and illegally sought TO restrain i le-
gitimate popular demonstration, and so
met resistance. This created riot, and
at once placed control of the movement
in the hands OF the lowest elements, and
made a mob without conscience, which
was hostile to the police especially, and
only incidentally to foreigners who got
in the way. There was no movement di-
rected against Americans or foreigners
as such. The disturbances have sub
sided entirely, and while the government
is maintaining at hand sufficient forces
TO restrain further acts of violence, there
is not the slightest evidence of a condi-
ton of continued riot. Meetings held in
other cities "a protest against peace pei
mitted by the police have been peaceable >
Members of our entire party visited all
parts Of Japan since the riot at Toxic.
and not one member has been subj ectrd
10 any indignity at all. feel sure that
the statement of the authorities is cor
rect, and that any effort to create the
Impression that there is an antiforeign
demonstration or anti-American Senti-
ment in the great body of the people of
Japan is unjust. hope that you will
deem it wise to give publicity to this
dispatch, in justice TO the Japanese gov
eminent aud people. whose friendship
for America and gratitude for the as
siStancc which you rendered them in TIE
matter of peace is abiding.

NAVAL TITLE QUESTION.

Nothing is likely to be done respect
ing naval titles, as has been urged by
some line officers, especially those on
the retired list, notably Rear Admiral
John II. Upshur. Secretary Morton
does not seem inclined to reopen a
question which was practically settled
in a decided way by Secretary Long.
In the meantime the naval regulations
appear to be held up in the hope that
Secretary Morton will pass on the
question, which some officers think of
vital Importance. At present the only
staff officers who are using line titles,
so-called, are certain chiefs of .echni-
cal bureaus. Most of the officers, how
ever, are not giving the matter much
attention, and the Secretary and As
sistant Secretary of the Navy regard
the question as of no consequence
