The Courage Of Failure.

The Courage Of Failure.
All honor to the man or woman who
knows no such word as defeat: who
follows the pathway Of a consistent
purpose and in the line Of duty, even
With the dark shadow Of failure OBJ
securing the way. To have the courage
Of ones convictions at all time and
under oil circumstances requires no
small degree Of character and determi-
nation. 1t is better to 60 down to ulti-
mate overthrow in a cause which one
believes to be just and right than to
profit by any compromise with con-
science or suffer the lowering Of the
moral tone which must come to all
who lose the consciousness Of adher-
ence to their faith rather than wear the
lau4els Of honest defeat.-Madame.

Dir James Outram, known as the

He once performed the hazardous feat
Of killing tiger with bis sword and
from the back of his horse. General
Nicholson performed a similar feat.
He rode round and round the tiger at q
Gallop, gradually narrowing the circle
until at last he was near enough to de-
liver his blow. He had only the one
blow and II he had failed would have
been slain. The explanation Of the feat
10 that the tiger does not spring upon
the horseman during the circling proc
ess because he is watching his opp0rtu-
nifty. As the circle draws closer and
closer upon him he becomes bewildered
By the strange maneuver, so unlike
that Of any hunter he has ever encoun-
tered.

Baron Kaneko, who studiously conceals
his precise mission, but is known to be
a confidential representative in this
country of the Japanese Government.
This was his fourth visit to the Presi-
dent in a few weeks and the second
within a week. Reasons developed to-
day for the statement that Baron
Kaneko's call had relation to the pro-
ceedinss of the peace conference at
Portsmouth, although it appears like
wise reasonable that he did not come
as the representative of the Japanese
ENJOYS. He is known to be in direct
communication with the Toxic Govern
ment Whether he was the bearer Of
MESSAGES from Japan to the President
is not known. but he came on his own
initiative, the President not being
aware of his coming until his arrival.
Baron Kaneko arrived on an after.

panied Secretary Barnes to Sycamore
Hin at 4:30 o'clock.

Of his family, who were absent from

Display Keenest Interest TN the Proc
IamatiOn of Cznr.

PORTSMOUTH, n. H, Aug. 1S-All the
members Of the Russian delegation read
with the keenest interest and the greatest
satisfaction the text of the Emperors
manifesto, communicated TO them by the
Associated Press. M. Witte read 1t atten-
lively. but would only express his pleas
ure on finding that it was identical with
the original draft shown to him for his
opinion and suggestions before he left st.
Petersburg. He declined 10 express to-
night any opinion on the manifesto itself
or the effect which 1t would have in Rus
STA and abroad, its effect upon the inter
nal situation in Russia or its effect on the
war with JaDan.
Some of the other members of the Rus
sian mission, however, were not so reti-
cent They frankly said that the redemp-
tion of the Emperor's promise by the
nanifestor cannot but produce the best
impression at home; that it will unite the
nations and strengthen the position of the
Emperor by convincing the people that
his efforts are for the welfare of the
country and for the glory of Russia.

Figures Show That Heart
Disease and Consumption
Are Reaping Harvests

NEW YORK, Aug. is.-An examina
ton of the health records of New. York.
prompted by statistics recently COM
piled by the Chicago Health Depart
ment, shows that there is d remarkable
decrease in deaths from nervous trou-
oles In this city since 1870. while
other ailments. such as heart disease.
Brlght's disease and consumption, have
been gaining ground. All affections of
the nervous system have diminished as
New York has grown larger and more
turbulent. As stated, the investigation
was inspired by the recent report from
chicago showing, chat deaths there from
nervous disorders had fallen off from
ol6 persons per 1000 in 1870 to 12.S per-
sons in 1904. A table compiled by the
registrar from the records of Manhat-
tan and the Bronx poroughs shows
these surprising results: Death rate
per 1000 Inhabitants in 1870. 34.7: in
1850. 23.06: in 1880. 1891: In 1900. 14.17;
in 1904. 1888

from the pressure and compleXity of

Gus system. He declared also that tho

very largely due TO the decrease in con-
