Japanese n Tears.

Cable messages have been sent ST.
Petersburg and Toxic, announcing the
peace agreement and urging a declar-
alton of an armistice at once.
The Japanese correspondents at the
hotel are almost in tears. They de-
clare peace comes with dishonor and
say their country will be wild tonight
with indignation.
Responding to congratulations upon
the conclusion of peace with such
good terms, Pokotiloff, the Russian
minister to China, who is here, says:
1T was a stroke of genuine genius.
Only one man in the world could have
done it. That man is Witte"
1t Is announced that Russia is to
pay a reasonable sum for the mainte-
nance of the $4,000 prisoners. The
expected 1t will be about SIS, 900. 900.
II required just three hours of the
ENJOYS time this morning to reach
a unanimous agreement. The new
terms offered by Komura were of
such a sweeping character and We're
considered by the Russians to be such
radical concessions to their views
that IL left them no basis upon which
to further prolong their objections

M. Witte announced upon his ar

agreed upon. He said under the
agreement Russia is not to pay a

Sakhalin is to be divided.
An absolute confirmation of the
Scripps exclusive statement of yes

Japanese that If they would waive

May Buy. Lie or Steal.

Invitations have been sent out for the
annual summer outing of the New Eng
land Fat Mems club, to be held at Wells
River Aug. IS. The headquarters of the
club are at Hale's tavern, where last
falls meeting was held, and the tavern
will be the centre for the coming outing.
The outing will spread considerably over
the neighborhood however. Its principal
feature is to be a North Carolina bar
becue, on the lawn at the back Of the
hotel. A large marquee has been pro-
cured and will be set up for dining room.
Mr. Hale formerly kept hotels in the
south, and the barbecue will be furnished
with all southern trimmings.
A base ball game is to be played be-
tween the heavy weights Of the club,
captained by Arthur H. Moulton, who
weighs 4O61s, and the light weights, under
the leadership of Frank Gignac of Frank
lin Falls, who weighs 377.
fishing contest is announced, for a
cash prize. Fishing is permitted, in the
language Of the invitation, 'in all open
waters south of Connecticut lakes, and
the prize is to go only to a fresh water
fish," This provision in the contest is
made necessary by the next one, which
states that competitors may buy, lie or
steal" Other outdoor sports are promis-
ed.
Hon. Horace w. Bailey is to be the
POSTMASTER at the barbecue, and an UNI
usually fine list of speakers is promised.
An orchestra will play during the dinner.
This meeting of the club promises to
eclipse the famous one of last fall. Many
men prominent in social, political and
business ways, as well as in that physical
way which makes them eligible to the
club, have promised to be present; state
officials and legislators are to be present
and invitations have been sent to Sec.
Taft, though he cannot get home in time
to attend, to Grover Cleveland and to
Gov Guild OF Massachusetts.
There has been some feeling that the
Fat Mems club was founded in jest, and
that it's meetings have no seriousness
about them. The club this year, ac-
cording to one of the officers, purposes
to demonstrate that it grew out Of a
crying need and has a real mission.

That tongue, at once so light and dull.

That leering of the sensual eye

Your mother. gave you from the dirt
The shipper which she used upon
So many men ere he was won.
Your vanity and greed and lust
Are each your portion from the dust
OF those that died, and from the tomb
Made you what you must needs become.

For sin at second hand, and shame:
Evil could but from evil spring;
And yet, away, you charnel thing!
