VIEWS OF THE JAP PRESS
Peace Rumors Don't Affect That Country g
Attitude.

Toxic, March 31.-The various ru-
mors Of peace negotiations Smanating
from Europe and the United States
are widely published and commented
upon here. Apparently they don't at
feet the attitude of the Japanese gov
eminent and people towards the war.
The press re-echoes the announced de-
termination of Japan to vigorously
push the military operations, unmoved
and undeterred by discussions of
events in Russia or elsewhere. The Jill
declares that the successive reverses
have not affected Russia. Emperor
Nicholas, the paper adds, is unwilling
to sacrifice the prestige of his house
or surrender the position OF controlling
influence Russia has heretofore held
over the powers of Europe. Field Mar
shal Oyama's army will continue its
forward movement and not give Rus
sia a breathing moment.
The Kokumin pronounces the war
to be senseless and wasteful on the
part of Russia, but the paper says that
az she chooses to shut her eyes to the
light of reason Japan will profit by her
blindness. The Nichi Nichi says
France alone is capable of taking the
initiative in persuading Russia to me-
gotiate for peace, but the Nichi Nichi
doubts if Russia would accept Frances
advice "becanse the peace terms will
mean the death of the bureaucracy and
the bureaucracy is not committing sui
eide"
In conclusion the Nichi Nichi says:
"In the meantime the japanese army
and navy will continue preparations
for the years campaign. Fresh levies
are constantly departing for the front,
the lines of transportation are extend
ing into northern Manchuria, and the
vanguards of the fighting columns are
following the retiring Russians north

first week of his Rivals revival in
1880 at the Arch street theater, says
writer in Worlds Work. Ten years
later, when | knew him personally,

charming companion. The only exam
pie of his dry humor that can now re-
call was the result of slight incident
which took place in Union square, before
a store where the actor occasionally
stopped to purchase painting materials.

is illustrated at ID in Fig. 90, where the
width of X is the same as that of the re-
naming surface. Y. If preferred, the
angles may be made rounding instead OF
beveling, as shown at c in Fig 64, but
here. as in the case Of beveling, the
rounds must be stopped OFF in the same
way as shown for the bevel in Fig o5.
When the frame is beveled, or rounded,
no rabbet should be cut in the frame
for the glass, instead the rabbet is
formed on the back of the frame by four
strips of wood. These strips should be
one and one-fourth inches wide and
about three-eighths OF an inch in thick
ness, and are glued and nailed on the
back of the frame so that the space in
closed by them will be one-eighth of an
inch larger all around than the size OF
the glass mirror. These strips are
shown at A and A, Fig. 6S, and also on
the cross section and in Fig. "a.
When the mirror is placed in the
finished frame II is held in position by

the best wood for this purpose. The
block should be inches long, 2a4 inches
wide, and from three-fourths TO l

must be fiat and smooth, which is best
accomplished by laying a sheet OF sand
paper on the work bench or some other
true surface, and rubbing the face of the
block over it. changing it's position often
until the surface is correct. The sand
paper must never be fastened to the

In the word rabbet, as here used. we
have a carpenters term, meaning
groove, or recess, cut into and near the
edge OF one piece, into which another
piece Is to be fitted. In the present case
II means the recess cut around the inside
OF the frame on the back, in which the
mirror will be fixed. II will be seen that

1t has developed in Norfolk that Mrs.

wears who died in that city two weeks
ago. left a will by which she bequeathed

Mrs. Pete Heinz, wife of brother OF
Heinz, the pickle manufacturer, ana
some valuable residential property TO
Rev. DR.. J. E. Thacker, pastor OF the
Second Presbyterian Church Of Norfolk,
and formerly in charge of the Second
Presbyterian Church in this city. The
property bequeathed was made over 70
Mrs Finck by her husband, who
thought he had an only will made by his

the husband teiegraphed to Chicago Tor
Mrs. Heinz. who was a close friend OF
the family, and upon her arrival, she IN
formed him of the new will by which
she was large beneficiary. Flnck then
ordered Mrs. Heinz out Of his house,
it is said, and she left. An unknown
Washington attorney appeared several
DAYS ago with Mrs. FiDck's new WILL
but this has been held up for the time
being by the filing by the husband OF the
will he had in his possession. Rev. Dr.
Thacker is now away on his summer va

in Washington. Finck says he gave his
wife a $500 funeral and shortly before
he gave DR.. Thacker $500 toward his

Mr. Finck says that he is satisfied
that his wife didn't sign a will OF the
date of the alleged second one, as she
