The week has been remarkably lacking
in large AFFAIRS, in fact there have been
very few affairs of any kind except the
dinners and dances at the clubs. The mid
week dance at the Country club for the
Nebraska golf tournament players awak-
ened some enthusiasm, and gave promise
of future gaieties. But the truth Is, the
continuous heat of the past few days
has SO dampened~th ardor OF the sum
mer girl that her social obligations will be
ignored for the time being, or at least
until there is a change in the tempera-
ture. THE chief charm about the clubs, -
exclaimed one of the members us the

is a sense of freedom and a lack of social
complications which must be met in the
winter Every one can golf bowl, play
bridge or dance as the spirit moves them.
All this would be destroyed If one was
compelled in hot weather to talk to people
whom they care nothing about and with
whom they have nothing in common. as
likes or dislikes are usually mutual and
they on their part would be just as deeply
bored. So the lethargy which is preva-
lent at present has its advantages as ma

The midwest tennis tournament sched-

the most promising prospect for the next
few days. OF course this will mean dinner
parties every evening and gatherings on the
veranda OF the club house every afternoon,
besides the dance Wednesday and Satur-,

Spectacular Tests to Find Means OF
Preventing Railway Accidents

SnectacuIar Tests to Find Means OF
Preventing Railway Accidents.
The German government has taken
nossessiOn of a short strip of track
near Berlin and is planning to execute
a UNIQUE series of railroad accidents
made to order, says the st. Louis POST
Dispatch. Every variety of misplaced
switch will be tested, every possible
defect in wheels. axles and car equip
ment will be tried out, and the grand
finale is to be an immense head-on col
lision of locomotives. These spectacu-
lar exhibitions are not planned by the
government as a national amusement.
They are for the purpose of sclentlnc
experiment, so that the engineers ana
railway experts may study ways and
means to prevent accidents of all KINDS
in the future.
Railroad disasters have occurred
with alarming frequency in the Ger
man empire. 1t is estimated that the
German railways lose $1,260,0OO annu-
allv through damages. After the
canses and effects of each variety OF
wrock have been noted it will be the
task of the government officials to de-
wise safeguards.

TOBACCO PALACE.
A Unique Feature for the James
town Exposition. Some Noted
Relics to Be Shown.

Many strange Indian relics of bygOne
the grounds of the jamestown exposi-
ton, near Norfolk, Va, tell interesting
tales of customs in vogue among the
Indians of three centuries ago. and
some of the old records handed down
from the first settlers add zest to
Indian traditions and Indian habits
and customs, says the New York Globe.
1t is now known that the Indians
who once occupied the present site of
the jamestown exposition, to be held
In 1907, carefully embalmed their
kings and chieftains, much as the
Egyptians did The work was done
scientifically and the bodies thus en-
balmed were preserved in an excellent
condition for centuries, being dried so
skillfully as to look like the mummies
of ancient Egypt. 1t is expected that
some of these mummified kings of the
early Virginia tribes will be placed on
exhibition at the exposition, together
with many other relics which have
been dug up and added to the collec-
ton of Indian curiOs.
Another interesting exhibit at the
exposition will be the display of to-
bacco. of which these old Virginia
tribes were so fond. 1t is said that
when tobacco was the medium of eX-
change in the ancient colony of Vir-
ginia it was a common thing for an
Indian to trade off his wife for few
twists of tobacco. Pretty young squaws
were worth more than ugly ones;
hence there was no regular market
price for Indian wives.
The prominence which attaches to to-
bacco in the early settlement of Nlr-
ginia determined the Virginia state
commissioners to have as part or the
Virginia exhibit at the jamestown eX-
position the finest tobacco exhibit ever
arranged for an exposition. A tobacco
paIace. artistically decorated with to-
bacco tapestry, pictures, curtains ana
ornaments of every description, will
constitute one of the unique features
of the exposition.

Mrs. Meadow Fired Through window

Mrs. Meadow Fired Through Wlhuo"
and a Trail of Blood Was Found.
The burglar, or burglars, who have
been operating for several weeks came
to grief Wednesday night at the
Meadow home, says an Albany dis
match. Mrs. Meadow was awakended
about two O'Clock by some one at
tempting to gain entrance through a
bedroom window. She was alone,
save for the presence of a neighbours

night With her. Mrs. Meadow secured
a pistol and fired several shots
through the window in quick success
sion. The burglars fed, but the
next morning they we're tracked sever

which led to railroad track. The
burglar evidently dressed his wound
at this point, as large pool OF blood
was found. Despite the best efforts

osiem Ernest Charles, writing in

Monsieur Ernest Charles, writing in
+Ba Paris Gil Bias on the subject of
tbe recent Alice Roosevelt and Bryan
torrs. delivers himself with his usual
spitefulness. He says;
There is no denying it, these Amer
icans are astounding. Our European
taste which is so refined and delicate,
has recently been offended by the
somewhat excessive manifestations of
the German Emperor, but what are
thew compared to the noisy demonstra-
+ions made by the Presidents or presi-
Dental candidates of the United
States?
Mr.. Bryan, who has twice been
candidate and will soon be SO a third
time for the presidency, has just com
Melted a tour of inspection in Europe
He spent few days in Russia, and
though he does not understand word
of the language he attended a meeting
of the Duma, and has expressed a def
mite Judgment of that assembly. He
has Judged all the other countries Of
Europe in the same way. Now he has
returned to the United States, he
thinks he knows it all, and is qualified
to govern that country. He is ignorant
of nothing which a great president
should know, he is prepared to con
Quer lasting fame.
His voyage, alas, only too closely
resembled that of President Roose-
yelts daughter This young woman
recently astounded rather than aston
iShed us. An actress on tour, playing
the publicity game for all she is worth,
is not in it with Mrs. Longworth. The
Democratic candidate came abroad
after the daughter of the Republican
President. The latter voyage has not
caused us to forget the former, and
both are regrettable.
The greatness of President Roose-
welt keeps him at home. At least, we
get an echo over here Of his sensa-
tiOnal doings. This chief Of state, not
knowing how else to noisily dominate
the world, has undertaken to reform
spelling.
The ingenious bluffs are perhaps
not dangerous. Nevertheless they are
disagreeable to us, for they indicate an
incontestable disdain with regard to
US. The Americans treat us like sim
pie fools who are easily dazzled. They
use for this purpose proceedings
which would disqualify any French
man who would show the temerity TO
employ them.
1T is our own fault, if we are
treated in this way. We have praised
the Americans with such idiotic gen

NEAR APPROACH TO HE'LL
Is THE JAPANESE TREATMENT
OF PRISONERS In JAIL.
An English Writer Gives Details OF
Failure to Garry Out Promised
Reforms in Korea

Reforms in Korea.
Mr.. F. 4. Mckenzie, writing from
Sin Wuji, Korea, to the London Daily
Mail, gives some details respecting the
failure of the Japanese to carry out
promised reforms. He says:
One of the bitterest complaints by
the best Koreans is that the Japanese
instead of overthrowing the most cor
rupt officials around the Emperor, have
kept them in Office and backed them
! up.
The barbarities of the Korean courts
and prisons still remain unchecked.
My attention was called to the state
of the prisons, and l visited two of
them. In the first, at Ping-yang, |
found eighteen men and one woman
confined in one cell. Several Of the
men were fastened to the ground by
wooden stocks. The prisoners were
emaciated, and their bodies showed
plain signs Of horrible disease. Their
clothing was of the poorest, the cell
was indescribably filthy, and the pris-
oners were confined in it, without eX-
ercise and without employment year
after year. One man had been in the
cell for six years.
The second prison, Sun-chon, was
much worse In the inner room there
so dark that for some moments [
could see nothing found three men
fastened flat on the ground, their
heads and feet in stocks, and their
hands tied together. The room had no
| light or ventilation, save from small
hole in the wall. The mems backs
were fearfully scared with cuts from
beatings. Their arms were cut to the
bone in many places by the ropes that
! had been tightly bound around them,
and the wounds thus made were sup
purating freely The upper parts OF
the limbs were swollen, Great welts
and blisters could be seen on their
flesh. One mans eyes were closed,
and the sight gone, heavy suppura-
| ton oozing from the closed lids. Pre-
sumabIy the eyes had been knocked in
by blows. The men had lain thus con
fined, without moving, for days l had
them brought out into the sunshine.
It was difficult work. One of them had
already largely lost the use OIL his
limbs, owing to their contraction.
The place was the nearest approach
to hell I have ever seen.
While in Japan, before my present
visit to Korea, had the privilege OF
long interview with the Marquis Ito,
fhe resident general and head of the
Japanese administration. The Mar
ouis Ito is, as all the world knows, the
greatest and most famous of the older
statesmen of Japan. His coming TO
Korea when he did was an act of splen-
did self-sacrifice.
AS the marquis unfolded his plans
for the improvement of Korea, my
heart rose. There was to be reform,
Justice, and Cancellation. Any mis-
takes in the past we're remedied. i
feel that I stand midway between the
Koreans and my own people, to see
Justice done to BOTH" the marquis de-
clared.
Standing in the cell at Sun-chon
recalled those words, and despite the
strength, sincerity, and high purpose
Of the marquis, they seemed little bet
for than a hollow mockery.
