FULFILLS HIS VOW.
francesca storkey's Pledge to Give
Orphans a Feast.

The inmates of the Washington City Or
phan Asylum are to be the benefciaries of
the ful1llment of vow registered by Fran
cesco Storkey, an Italian ice cream manu-
facturer who has an establishment on U
street not far from the asylum. The treat
is to be served the little ones this after
noon, and many gallons of the sweetest
and coolest varieties OF the hot-weather
dainty have been made for them They
Will have all the Ice cream their capacity
admits of their receiving and the authori-
ties of the asylum say the capacity of each
OF their charges Is large.
While there Is not much chance Of con-
Meeting a heaped-up plate of delicious ice
cream with a sore foot, yet the treat in
store for the orphans at the Washington
Asylum Is directly traceable to an impede
mentia from which Signor Storkey once
suffered.
Many years ago when signor Francesca
was small boy, he remembers making a
Journey between two towns in sunny Italy
At the farthest point thereof he saw In q
the good st. Charles. The boy became
possessed of a desire to own that work of
art and asked his uncle. who had accom-
panied him. for the wherewithal to make
the purchase. The uncle refused to give I'D
the money and the boy was greatly disap-
pointed. He prayed earnestly that the
statue might be his and offered to pay
tribute to the church If his prayer was an
before the show window he cast down his
eyes and saw lying in the dust of the road
silver in sufficient quantity to buy the
statuette. and enough more to make very
respectable offering to the church. He
bought the statue and paid the remainder
OF his find into the church funds.
The boy grew to be a man and In the
course of time came to America and estab-
lished an ice cream factory in this city.
Some time ago he was troubled with an
irritating sore foot. Do what he might he
could not heal it. In his extremity he re-
membered how his prayer had been an
swered in the matter of the statuette. and
as he was passing the orphan asylum at
that time he registered vow that he
would make the best gift in his power to
the inmates of the institution If it should
so happen that a cure of his foot could be
effected.
Within very short time he was given a
lotion which he applied TO the foot and the
sore was healed forthwith And now he is
prepared to carry to fulfillment his vow
He consulted the officials In charge of the
asylum and they told him the best thing
he could do for the children was to give
them ice cream. So he set to work and has
made gallons of the purest, sweetest and
coolest of ice cream, and this afternoon al
O'Clock the feast will be given at the asy-
lum building, corner of 14th and streets.

Wisdom of Japan.
From the New York Time

From the New York Times.
The basis of the treaty Is to be almost lit
orally uti possidetis; the victor keeps what
he has taken, the vanquished surrenders
nothing save that which he has unsuccess-
fully defended, that of which the war had
already deprived him. But it Is not in
that cold and passionless way that the
world will measure the work done at Ports
mouth. which will pass into history under
the name of the peace of Washington,
where constructively the sessions have
been held Baron Komura will bear home
to his sovereign not merely the treaty rec
ognition of Japans right of political and
commercial expansion, secured through
the virtue of the emperor by her troops
and fleets. He will carry to him, he has
already won for him and for the japanese
nation, the applause and admiration of all
civilized communities. Japan has not only
shown herself to be a generous foe-she
has exhibited the rarer quality of wisdom.
1t was time for her to make peace 1t was
no time for her to insist upon terms that
would have endangered the negotiation.

Russia Beaten.
From the New York World.

FROM the new 1Ork world.
Japan has not only wrested from Russia
her one ice-free harbor and its Notifications
and destroyed her navy. In keeping for
herself the southern portion of Saghalin she
retains certain control of all the straits
by which Vladivostok can be reached and
renders 1t useless at all seasons as naval
port. In no way could she have limited
Russia's naval power in the Pacific more
effectively. Moreover, she has just re-
newed her treaty of alliance with England
by the terms of her agreement The evac-
uation of Manchuria this time will be hon
estly executed and China's debt to Japan
: will be made permanent. The treaty can
not mean anything but humiliation and de-
feat for Russia and triumph for Japan.
Russia will be driven out of China for
century to come. Her prestige In the far
east is gone and Japan is in the ascendant
her national security accomplished and her
station among the great powers Of the
world recognized.

The World Rejoices.
From the Baltimore American.

Americans and the civilized world will
rejoice. that peace has been concluded
that Japan has been magnanimous beyond
even the hopes of her crushed and helpless
adversary. Viewed in the proper light the
peace agreement is a triumph for Japan.
The moral effect of this attitude of for
bearance will be immense, when measured
in the heightened respect which the civil
lied world must henceforth entertain for
this splendidly gifted young oriental ma
tton-young at least in the arts of eastern
civilization.

Force Of Public Opinion.

From the Baltimore Sun.
That the governments OF Japan and Rus
sia should at the last moment reconcile
their differences and decide to conclude
peace Is evidence that enlightened public
opinion is still the strongest force in the
world.

Grand in Battle and Peace.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer

Japan. victorious on sea and land, is
magnanimouS in the end to q beaten foe.
She yields more than even the most ardent
advocate of the cessation of hostilities had
d right to expect. Grand In battle she
is also grand in peace. Peace hath Its
victories well as the tented fields.

Japan's Magnanimity.
From the New York Sun.

Great as Japan has proved herself to be
In war, she is infinitely greater In peace.
The magnanfmity and the broad and lib
eral spirit which have inspired her de-
cision are unparalleled In the history of
nations. We may congratulate Russia,
but we must pay to Japan the homage of
our profound admiration and respect.

Not a Bad Peace.

From the New York Herald
On learning that the mikado's advisers
had decided to withdraw the demand for
an indemnity and divide the Island of SAX
halin some of the ultra Japanese CORE
spondents are reported as mournfully de-
claring 1t to be "a bad peace" 1t may be
assumed, however, that the japanese ruler
and the astute Marquis Ito and the other
elder statesmen are fairly familiar with
the situation and knew what they were
about. Most of mankind agree with Ben
jamin Frankin's dictum that there never
was good war or bad peace" and doubt
less all mankind rejoices this morning in
the news that there will be no resumption
of the horrible misery and slaughter in the
far east.

The Ease Of Normal Death

According to scientist, the immedi-
ate cause Of death in all but very ex-
ceptional cases, such as accident, Is the
poisoning of the nervous centers by
carbonic acid, which accumulates In the
blood owing to the failure Of the ar
rangement for It's removal. This gas
is an anaesthetlc," he explains, "and
has, indeed, been employed as such,
both locally and otherwise. This prop
erty of carbonjc acid may be termed a
mercIful provision Of nature. Normal
death Is a painless occurrence, usually
preceded by gradual loss Of conscious
ness entaillng no more suffering than
going to sleep. The accumulation OF
this merciful gas often induces muscu-
lar contraction or spasms, which are
preceded by loss Of consciousness, but
which may have suggested to uncritical
observers that their moribund subject
was In agony.

French Mothers.


There is one thing that French moth
ers do not do enough. That is to sep
arate from their growing boys, to send
them TO the school Of life outside the
home and into situations where they
must look after themselves. The moth
er's happiness IS complete only with
her children around her. Let lie not
keep them too much apart. From this
arise too fearsome ideas Of distance
and too timid attachment to the natal
soil or the maternal city.
The difficulty is that 1t is very re-
luctantly admitted among the French
that the time must come for the
Nesting TO use its own wings. | have

themselves nearly to death because a

To farmer who recently made APP

given something to drink out Of bot
tie. The drinking, according to an
Client ritual, must not be less often than
three times day and the ceremony
must have some reference to meals.
The draft to be efficient should be col
ored. 1t must have a marked odor so
that he may Invite his friends to smell
1t. 1t should be loathsome to the taste
so that the taking Of 1t may call for
some herolsm. Above all, 1t needs to
possess an evil looking sediment which
will require a formal shaking of the
