election of Mrs. Mclean came at the
close of a session of unusual interest.
II created a scene of notable enthusi-
asm and many of the women OF the
congress were nearly hysterical in the
demonstration of their emotions.
The announcement early in the ses-
sion that the ballot taken Wednesday
resulted in no election for president
general, indicated that the contest
was an extraordinarily close one. On
the first ballot Mrs. Mclean received

eating that it was working along the
same lines as the Daughters of the
American Revolution.

women screamed as vent to their
emotions. Others cried and became
hysterical Every delegate in the
hall was on her feet. No attempt
was made by the president general to
control the demonstration or stay it.
When some measure of order had
come to the assemblage the president
general recognized Mrs. Sternberg,
who, in .felicitous manner, moved
that the election of Mrs. Mclean be

France Gives Assurances.

Paris, April 21.-Acting upon 1nStrdc-
lions from his government, Dr. Motono,
the Japanese minister to France, called
on Foreign Minister Delcasse last even
ing and submitted representations on
behalf of Japan concerning the pres
ence of the Russian Pacific squadron
in Kamranh bay. An official cOmmuni-
cation issued after the meeting states
that DR.. MOtono's action had not the
character of a formal protest against
the alleged violation of neutrality, but
was to obtain assurances that France
would observe strict neutrality.
Notwithstanding the official version
it is evident that the intention and
effect of DR.. MotonO's action is in the
nature of a protest. Minister Delcasse
responded to the representations OF
the japanese minister by pointing ous
the precautions heretofore taken to
preserve neutrality. His assurances
sought to allay the approximations Oh
Japan, which ne maintained had not
been justified by any specific facts
The exact terms of Japan's represen-
tatiOns have not been disclosed, but 1t
is. understood that, while having the
usual courteous forms Of diplomacy,
they set forth that serious apprehen-
sfOns had been aroused by the stay OF
the Russian warships in Kamranh bay
and the urgent desire that French
neutrality be placed beyond doubt.
Gone from kamranh Bay.
The terms of the French response,
although not given out, tend to give
ample assurances upon all questions
raised. Besides general assurances
the conference doubtless permitted of
the explanation of the French point OF
view concerning the stay of the Rus
sian warships in Kamranh bay. 1t is

How He Killed His Bear.

Naturally, the secretary wanted to
know all about the bear killed. 1t was
an interesting story, in which all the
members of the party shared in the
telling. The dogs had several times
caught UP with the bear anu had an
noyed him until he was il. a vicious
mood. Finally, when he was at bay
two or three members of the party, in
Guiding the president, came up with
the dogs. One dog had been Killed and
several others badly wounded, and
the grizzley was playing havoc with
the others. To save the dogs the pres
ident had to shoot hurriedly. Every
sweep of the bears paw bowled over
a hound and rather than see any more
of the pack killed the president took
the chance of shooting between the
dogs at che bear. He fired once and
hit the animal in the shoulder. Firing
again, he killed his game. He takes
great pride in his first trophy of the
hunt

st. Petersburg, April 2l.-The min.
istry of finance has received a tele-
gram from a confidential agent at
Shanghai giving rumor that Admiral
ROjestvensky has already passed the
straits of FormOsa without encounter
ing Admiral Togo.
Enqlsh Officials Not Alarmed.
London, April Notwithstanding
the emphatic protests of some neWspa'
pers and the shrieks Of indignation
from the lingo press, the British gov
eminent officials decline to admit that
there is anything in the far eastern
naval situation to cause excitement or
to show that it approaches an acute
stage, In other words the foreign
office assumes the attitude OF a much
interested spectator of an intensely
dramatic situation which is approach
ing a climax in which by some mis-
chance Great Britain might be called
ON to play part.
The announcement that DIR. Motono,
Japanese minister in Paris, has called
upon Foreign Minister DelcaSse WI n
regard to the question of neutrality
has not changed the views of the offl-
Gals at the foreign Office, where it Was
pointed out yesterday that Japan prob
ably had not made formal Or specific
protest, but simply desired assurances
that France will continue to maintain
neutrality and not afford the Russians
any advantage inconsistent with
Frances responsibilities as neutral
power. The foreign office assumes that
France most certainly will give such
assurance to Japan.
The office stated to the Associated
Press that it was not at all likely that
Great Britain would be required by
Japan to take action in support OF any
protest. The attitude OF the foreign
Office is that there is not as yet any
proof that neutrality has been violated
and 1t prefers to think that France is
preserving neutrality according to her
own Interpretation and that Russia
would not wilfully involve her ally. II
is pointed out that similar charges
we're brought when Admiral Rojest'
yensky's squadron was at Nossi BE
and that there is no reason to believe
that there is any more ground for the
charge of actual violation of neutrality
at Kamranh bay.

CARE OF A RAZOR.
Some Things That the Man who
Shaves Himself should Know.

Some Things That the Man who
Shaves Himself should Know.
1.-The average man who shaves him
self doesn't know how to take care OF
his razor despite all the advice thai
prints from time to time" says an ex-
pert barber.
HE will get a good razor use it
day after day. then wonder why at the
end of a short time it loses its edge.
even though he strops it most care
fully. A razor needs brief intervals of
rest or il will grow dull. no matter
what efforts are made to keep it sharp.
If you have a good razor N it ap-
pears to he losing its edge just try a
rest for it instead of having it sharp
encd up again. The chances are that
when you put ii into use again at the
expiration of three or four days it will
prove as sharp as if it had been care
fully honed.
"a man who shaves himself ought to
have at least two raZors and use these
on alternate mornings: then. if his ra-
zors are all right. he will have but lit
tie trouble with them. 1t is also pos
should not be %stropped for more than
half a minute before shaving. and care
should be taken never to bear heavily
ON the strOp while doing this. Let the
razor rest lightly on the leather. and
the best results will he gained. After
finishing a shave. strop the razor once
more for a few seconds and this will
insure q much better condition for it"

BREAKING OF THE VOICE.
IT Is Caused by an Organic Change
In the LarynX-

IT Is Caused by an Organic hnnge
In the Larynx.
The peculiar physiological auses of
IN is called the breaking of the voice
are not quite understood. but It is
known TO depend Immediately upon an
organic change in the larynx, the orgaI
of the voice. which occurs in the male
sex between the Ges of fourteen and
sixteen. Before that the larynx or
boys resembles hat of girls. but when
the voice begins to break the FOCAL
chord; become heightened at least one
third. the angle of the thyroid cartilage
becomes enlarged. and the muscles
which connect the organs of the voice
with the hypoid bone and the base of
the tongue beconl elongated.
While the change of form is taking
place the voice ia unified for singing
and should be used only with great
are. In other words. the breaking
of the voice is due to the rapid de-
velopment of the larynX. which takes
place at certain ages and which leads
to a change in the range of the voice.
The peculiar harshness of the voice
when ii is thus breaking seems to be
due to a temporary congestion and
swollen condition of the mucous mem
brane of the vocal chords
ing he active growth of the whole
larynX.

PRISON STRIPES.
One Theory of the Origin of This.
badge of Dfsgrace.

B2d&& OF D1SGrace.
Did you ever stop to think about
the origin of the stripes we use i'll our
prisons?' said a man with an eye for
the curious. IF you have not. it will
not take you long to figure the thing
out If you happen to know anything
about the Bible.
"For instance. in the laws and ordi-
nances of Deuteronomy we find the
following. which will give us the clew
to the origin of the stripes as 4 badge
of infamy: If there be a controversy
between men and they come unto judg-
ment that the judges may judge them,
they shall justify the righteous
and condemn the wicked And ii shall
be if the wicked man be worthy to be
Deaten that the judge shall cause him
to lie down and to be beaten before
his face. according to his fault, by a
certain number Forty stripes he may
give him and not exceed; less if he
should exceed and beat him above
these with many stripes; then thy
brother should seem vile unto thee
Now instead of inficting these phys
ical stripes we put striped clothes on
the men who offend the law or who
may come unto judgment that the
judges may judge them. as 1t is put in
the text. OF course you could go much
further back in history if you cared to
trace the origin of marks of infamy,
but you would find that physical mutt
iation of some sort in a majority of in
stances afforded the means."-New Or

Toxic June 4. 1t is planned to

remarkable story is in circulation
concerning the wounded on the Orel.
1t is said that at the opening of the
fight goo men were killed and wound
ed, and that the groans and shrieks of
the wounded exercised SO harmful an
effect that it was decided to throw the
MORALLY wounded into the sea.
One hundred and forty. it is said,
were thrown overheard Those slight
ly won lded were then fastened to the
mast to prevent their interference
with the fighting of the ship
1t is impossible to obtain any con-
irmation of the story. but later re-
ports indicate that the crew of the
Orel fought with desperate bravery
throughout the day previous to their
surrender. The hull Of the vessel is
shen-marked and many of the guns
are smashed and dismounted.
