THE MAN OF THE HOUR
SOMETHING ABOUT TCGO'S HOME
LIFE AND HIS FAMILY,

AT the present stage of the war in the
far east Admiral Heihachiro Togo, COM
mander of the combined Japanese fleets, is
again the man of the moment. Last jan
uary he paid brief visit to his home and
family at Tokyo. He tried to steal into
Japan unobserved and to prevent anything
like national welcoming. Some of his
officers demonstrated with him and made
an effort to persuade him to let the people
see him. 1t would do them good, they ar
gued. and stimulate the national heart
He would not consent The national heart
he maintained, was already bursting with
overstimulation, and there was other press
ing business on hand. 1t would be time
enough for such a manifestation when the
was over.
Plain and transformations Man.
SO he declined the offer of a great re-
ception which the municipality of Tokyo
wished to give him and entered Japan
as unostentatiously as If he were a COM
mon seaman He planned 1t so he reached
the capital at night and walked unattended
from the railway station to his house. Hav
ing received no notification Of the admiraPs
intention to come home, the entire house
hold had retired, and he was obliged to
go to a hotel since 1t is not considered good
form in Japan 10 disturb any one who has
retired for the night He was not recog
nized at the hotel, and he rose early In the
morning and went to his own dOmicile.
Togo. although but forty-eight years of
age, is easily the prince among Japan's
national heroes. In the empire he is spoken
of affectionately as "Oni heiha CHI" This
means in English the ogre admiral" but
not in a bad sense. 1t Is rather a term of
endearment. Throughout the length and
breadth of the island empire the mention of
the ''ogre admiral will evoke the widest
enthusiasm.
The AdniraPs Household.
The admirars household Is one of the
simplest in Tokyo. In It's admirable unpre-
tentiousness may be witnessed the typical
home of a samurai gladened by the pres
ence Of congenial wife and four interest
ing children, three sons and daughter In
this household there Is no evidence of lux
ury of any description, the Togo family
occupying an ordinary middle-class dwell
ing 1t is not even in an aristocratic part
of the city, its neighboring houses on either
side being the homes of tradesmen and
minor government officials.
The domestic arrangement Is conducted
on most economical basis. no carriage,

Anecdotes Of Family Life.

Anecdotes Of Family Life.
Anecdotes In which the Togo family fig
ures are plentiful in Japan. One Of the
most characteristic is to the effect that
when the great man returned to his home
some time before the breaking out OF the
present war for short visit he contracted
such a severe cold that he was obliged 10
remain In bed during his entire stay. Hav-
ing received orders to rejoin his command
at once. he rose from his bed and began
to pack his travelling bag. Not approaching
the seriousness of the occasion, his wife
began to object vociferousy. She declared
that he must not think of leaving home I'M
til he should be entirely we'll Without re-
sorting either to explanation or argument.

evidently under the influence of his tndis-
position, administered rather forcible box
on the ear and CALCULATED pettishly, Don't
talk nonSenSei
With good-natured laugh, Mrs. Togo
desisted and gave all her attention to speed
ing the admiral on his way to the station
On arriving there he found that he would
have to wait nearly an hour. With a growl
of impatience. he threw himself into a seat
and buried his face in a newspaper. Pres
emily he became conscious that some one
was standing before him. Peeping over the
top of the journal. he saw that 1t was his
little thirteen-year-old daughter. Chyo.
There was stern look on her expressive
little face, and her eyes were moist.
why did you strike my MOTHER? she
demanded severely. You are certainly
what the people call you. You are an
ogre"

The man who would not mind facing
feet of Russian battleships fniched at the
little maids directness. Why Chiyo," he
laughed, "I didn't hurt mamma. Run away
home and make an apology for me-
This was perfectly satisfactory to Chiyo.

a wonder that her pretty head is not en-

from her enthusiastic mates. She is ex-

Oannon ErcommunIcated.

The controversy Of former United
States Senator Frank j. Cannon, editor
ofthe Salt Lake Tribune, with the author
tiles of the Mormon Church, an incident
of which was the withdrawal of fellow
ship from Mr.. Cannon By the bishops
court at Ogden, resulted yesterday IN
formal order from the high council OF
the Weber stakea Zion, in Utah, sitting
in Ogden, communicating Mr.. Can
non from the church The action was
based on editorials written by Editor
Cannon assaiing the policy of the high
err authorities of the church.
Mr.. Cannon, protesting against the
jurisdiction of the tribunal, which tried
him under charges of apostasy and dis
loyalty to the church, admitted the au-
thorship of the editorials complained Of,
and insisted that be should be permitted
to prove the truth of the assertions which
he had made. This point the ecclesiasii-
cal court declined to concede and the or
ders of disfellowship and excommunica-
ton followed.
Coincident with the accommodation
OF Editor Cannon was The filing OF charges

waite. The taking of testimony will begin
today.
