The ermine robes of kings
And left the guns of war 10 rust
Among forgotten things;
Though crowns and scepters at his touch
Have turned to dust and dross-

The work of Betsy Ross.

The beacon of The brave.

JAPANESE BUILDINGS
AT THE CHUTES PARK
Tea Garden and Amusement House
viii Form Novel Attraction
at Popular Resort

Japan is taking possession Of one
corner of Chutes park. Little brown
men are rushing work on a Japanese
tea garden and amusement house that
will be exact reproductions Of similar
places in the orient. The tea garden
proper now stands completed. 1t Is a
square, with heavy and ornate roof
supported upon four posts of oriental
wood. No center posts mar the inte-
rior, but the ceiling is held up by wires.
and although its interior Is composite
of many hunred squares of sandal
wood, not single nail or screw is
used in it's construction. The floor is
covered with rice mat, and on each of
the teak-wood tables is a little bowl Of
growing green rice. The tiny squares
of which the ceiling is composed have
been painted by an eminent Japanese
artist of San Francisco. Each done in
delicate tints with a fine brush repre-
sents symbolic and emblematic floral
designs, peculiar to the lore of the
crysanthemum kingdom.

TROUBLES AND TEMPER
CAUSE OF SUICIDE

Domestic troubles and an uncontrol-
lab BILE temper are believed to have caused
the suicide of Frank Beall, 645 Alpine
street. last night.
Without an intimation as to his in
tentions Beall entered the kitchen Of
his home, where his mother-in-law and
sister were at work, and placing a re-
volver against his right temple sent a
bullet through his head.
Beall sank to the floor and expired.
Mrs. Beall was not at home at the
time of the suicide
1t is said that Beall has been wor-
rying about domestic affairs and be-
came very angry when he returned
home last night and ascertained that
his wife was absent.
The dead man was 80 years old and
was married eight years ago. Four
years after their marriage his wife Sc
cured a divorce from him, but they
were remarked two years later. Since
that time, according to reports of
neighbors, their domestic relations have
not been the most pleasant.
The body was removed to Breese
Brothers undertaking establishment.
where the coroner will hold an inquest
over the remains this morning.
