Paris, Aug. 29.-The unwavering
conviction of France that President
Roosevelts noble initiative would
culminate in peace has received its re-

the main factor in bringing about the
happy results.
American, Russian and French Of
hcials displayed jubilation, while
japanese diplomats maintained their
usual imperturbability, regarding the
event as a thing that had been ex-
pected. All, however, rejoiced that the
disastrous war had been brought to
a close with undoubted benefit. not
only TO Russia and Japan, but to the
whole world.
Surprise for Diplomats.
Considerable surprise was shown
among French diplomats that the
japanese had surrendered so com

making an enormous sacrifice evoked
much commendation. It was known
that both belligerents desired peace,
but that Ia order TO preserve their ma

to exhibit signs of wavering. There
was, therefore, intense surprise when
II was announced that the Japanese

Child Entertained.

One of the new ideas in entertain.
ins in drawing rooms in London this
season is planned for the benefit of
the younger generation. A Miss Pa
mela Coleman is going the rounds, tell
ing fairy stories, the B'rer Rabbit tales
and bits of japanese folklore. She is
dressed in a quaint costume, sits on
TIE floor cross legged and brings with
her a basket OF toys with which she
illustrates her stories.
The fad has taken, and she is in
great demand, and there is some talk
of arranging for an entertainer of a
similar kind in New York. Story tell
ers-one means not the wicked peo-
pie, but those who have folklore and
fairy tales galore-are extremely use
ful at afternoon parties in the holiday
season. Children are tired of Punch
and Judy" and conjurers, and, like
their elders, sigh for novelty.

DIED A NATURAL DEATH.
Demise of Last of Suicide Club OF
Thirteen.

A dispatch from Bridgeport, Conn, says:
Organized ten years ago by thirteen con-
genial spirits who derided superstition
Bridgeport's so-called suicide club" has
been dissolved by the death Of its president
and last remaining member, Danied Loes-
er, and he was the only one who did not
die by his own hand.
There has always been more or less mys-
terry around the associations proceedings,
but the details of its formation are well
known. Its membership was made up
largely of German-Americans, who met in
the evenings in various resorts to drink
| beer and play pinochle, and it was at one
os these merry meetings that the talk OF
a suicide club was started.
The suggestion was accepted and it was
decided to limit the membership to thir-
teen. Not long after that first night only
twelve men assembled at the appointed
place. Announcement was made that John
Mckenzie who had just returned from
Switzerland, had shot himself.
Whatever shock or surprise this may
| have been to the other members, it did not
disrupt the society. George Leavenworth,
city editor of the Bridgeport Farmer. was
a member, and on the morning that a
humorous article on the club appeared
in the paper he was found dead with an
empty bottle that had contained carbolic
| acid lying beside him.
For year there were no more breaks In
the ranks. Then Victor Heisterhagen went
into his cellar one day and shot himself
Alexander Heatherington was the fourth
to go. He shot himself. Jack" Eichel,
blacksmith. followed within a brief time
in the same manner. Walter Nickel,
painter, hanged himself.
few more weeks passed and Wallace
Zepp, saloonkeeper, was found drowned,
and John Meyer shot himself in his meat
market. Gustav Wolf, a diamond expert
chose a similar manner of death, and
about a year later Michael Horvat drank
carbolic acid. Several years went by with
out further reductions, and then Oscar
Beers. who had twice tried to kill him
self succeeded with a razor.
This left only two members, George
Wagner and Daniel Loeser, the president.
Wagner shot himself In a New York hotel
last fall Until then Mr.. Loeser had often
laughfngly admitted that he was a men,
Der of the organization but said 1t was all
joke. After Wagners death, however
he stoutly denied that there had been any
such club. His death occurred Wednesday
night from natural causes. He was fifty
| four years DID, native of Germany, and
| is survived by widow and five children.

AGE PENSION ORDER.
Mandamus Proceedings Against Com
missioner of Pensions.

Hearing occurred today before Chief JUS
tice Clabaugh of the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia in connection with the
proceedings for mandamus instituted by
William Ossenberg against the commits
sioner Of pensions. 1t is explained that
this is a test case, brought through Attor-
ney II. d. Phillips, for the purpose of
breaking up the alleged unlawful practices
OF the Interior Department under the cele-
brated age order of the President, promul-
gated March 10, 1901"
Attorney Phillips declares that under the
order in question IL has been the practice
OF the commissioner of pensions to issue
pensions without medical examinations and
without any evidence, and to arbitrarily
fix the rate OF pension. 1t was asserted in
the Ossenberg case that there was no war
rant in law for this practice, that pensions
thus granted under the act of June q, 1890
and its amendments, were illegal and made
In violation of the provisions of acts of
Congress which provide that the pension
applicant shall have his pension rated ac-
cording TO the degree of disability from
each specific cause alleged by him in his
declaration of pension, upon due proof adj
duced In the case. This provision In the
statute, 1t is asserted is mandatory. and
not discretionary with the pension officials.
The rule TO show cause issued in the
Ossenburg case. Attorney Phillips said
this afternoon, was served upon the de-
paftment officials about one month ago.
and 1t had the effect of breaking up the
practice previously prevailing"
Chief Justice Clabaugh today continued
the mandamus proceedings, for the reason.
1t Is stated, that the pension officials an
nounced that they would endeayor to T.
ford TO the petitioner the benefits conferred
by the acts OF Congress"
