OUR MEN SHOOT LAPS.

Five of the Mikado's Subjects Killed
 For Poaching on Seal Rookeries.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-According to advices received at the state depart ment, five Japanese were shot and killed on the island of St. Paul of the Pribilof group by order of the agent of the department of commerce and la bor as the result of raid by four Japanese schooners on the seal rock cries.
 The revenue cutter Mccullough has reached Seward, Alaska, from st. Paul with twelve prisoners, two seriously wounded. who were turned over to Deputy Marshal Harmon
 The raiders were discovered lying near Northeast point, St Paul, by na- tive lookouts of the North American Commercial company, which leases the seal privilege from the government. Word was telephoned from the patrol station near the rookery for which the raiders were aiming, and Special Agent Lempke of the department of commerce. on duty in the Pribilof is- lands, arrived on the spot as the Japa- nese reached shore. He ordered the boat crew to surrender, which they did.
 On climbing the promontory at the end of the cape overlooking one of the larger rookeries, a schooner was seen close in shore. Looking straight down over the cliff, the patrol saw dozen or more Japanese skinning a great number of seal, which had been slaughtered indiscriminately.
 The raiders refused to surrender when Lempke reached the scene and tried to make off with their booty in small boats, several of which were drawn up on shore The agent then ordered his guard of natives to open fire. The Japanese offered no resist ance, being without firearms.
 Three of the raiders fell dead on the beach. a fourth was seen to be thrown overheard from one of the boats that escaped. and a fifth body drlfted ashore later in another boat.
 The men had killed more than POO seals, many of them cows. Those who escaped carried away about 120 skins.
 The raid is believed to have Jbeen a concerted effort by the Japanese. who have been hanging around the island for months and giving the revenue cut ter much trouble.

The recent agitation over the con- ferring of the Cross of the Legion of Honor upon Sarah Bernhardt and the recent comforting of the Cross of 8 Chevalier upon Maj. Dreyfus. sets one pondering about the value of the dis tinction, on the founding of the Order of the Legion of Honor.
 It was in 1902, when Napoleon was in the height of his glory. the legion was founded, but not organized until 1904. It was destined to become "a prize for which the officers and men in the Napoleonic armies were ready to take the most desperate chances on the field of battle. and the man upon whose breast the order was pinned by the emperor himself, after some hard won victory, felt that no greater honor could be bestowed upon him."
 When Bonaparte proposed the crea- ton of an order that should show by awards the nations gratitude for re- markable military and civil service. the old republicans made criticism that emblems and ribbons were but the baubles of monarchy. This, Ma poleon's retort: Tt is with baubles that men are led"
 Francois Coppee speaks of the in- auguration of tie Legion of Honor as marked by two profoundly touching ceremonies; one celebrated in Paris, in the chapel of the Invalides, under the splendid dome filled with souven- frs of Louis XIV; the other at the camp at Boulogne, where Napoleon took the insignia of the new legion aries from Bayard's shield and out of Don Gueschin's casque. The Gallic writer goes on to say. with true Galltc fervor: From that hour, July, 1904, the Legion of Honor shone on every scene, in every episode of the Ma poleonic epoch. When the emperor passes on horseback among his sol diers, and gust of wind lifts the revers of his gray redingote and shows the enameled jewel upon the

Smolensk and Moscow; that even more heroic resistance to defeat which faltered not from the retreat from Russia until Waterloo; that in- toxication. that mania for glory, which possesses the whole nation; the sacrifice by France of million of her sons-all these things, 1t may be said. Napoleon obtained with the aid of strip of red ribbon and a jewel of insignificant value"
 Not alone the heroes in war were awarded honors, distinguished merit in civil life wore the proud emblem. The order became such matter of pride. object of devotion. that 1t was retained after the fall of Napoleon, although 1t experienced many altera- tions In the various political changes.
 You may remember Louis XIV. when he came to the throne showed timidity about doing away entirely with the Legion of Honor. feared to bring down on his head wholesale un- popularity. He made changes, how. ever: reduced the prerogatives. re- placed the efigy of Bonaparte by that of Henry ". the eagle by the Bour- bon fieurde-lys. the name grand eagle changed to grand cross. When the day of Louis Philippe came. this mon- arch was satisfied with substituting the tricolor flag for the feur-de-lys on the obverse of the cross. Napo- leon III. made decided changes, but retained the character of the emblem as reward for both military and civil service. After the fall of the second empire, the government of national defense Issued a decree suppressing the decoration of the Legion of Honor as a reward for civil service. This bill was revoked in 1872.
 The order as constituted at present dates from 1872. at that date reor- ganized into five classes-chevaliers. officers. commanders. grand oficers and grand crosses. Attached to these dignities are stipends ranging from f5o francs of a chevalier to 5000 francs in case of a grand cross. The emblem of the order Is a star of white enamel edged with gold: on the ob- verse the image of the Republic with inscription Republique Francaise: on the reverse. two flags with the motto

 It is doubtful if even among the railroad officials of today there can be found any who possess greater energy and executive ability than did Frink & Walker. whose stage lines covered the entire west. As the country became fitted up with set tiers, rival stage lines were organ ized to handle the ever increasing business
 At times the rival lines cut rates and endeavored to outclass the other In time between Chicago. Galena, Peoria, Rock Island and other points to the south and west, and 1t was not unusual in the '40's and EOS to see a double decker coach come dashing into town with four horses on tho dead run, change horses and start out again as fast as they came in.
 The old-time coach has passed from sight and almost from the mem. ory of man. MT. Gowdy, the last of the old-time drivers, has four chill dren, two in Mobile, one in Fremont and the fo,rth 'r cnringfield. Mass.

fuse requests. as refusal might mean loss of a vote. But the law of 1897 put a limit to the wholesale distribu- ton of honors and emoluments.
 Tie decoration Is conferred upon foreigners: women are eligible to the honor. but comparatively few have been decorated. Among foreign mem bers of the Legion of Honor are a goodly number of Englishmen. Many of the survivors of the Crimean var received the cross and red ribbon. both officers and those kn the ranks. Men of political celebrity. professional men of emincnce. noveiIsts. journal ists. inventors. have had the honor conferred upon them King Edward. when prince of Wales. had the decora- ton bestowed upon him
 Virginia Ghesquiere was the first woman to receive the decoration of the Legion of Honor. Rosa Bonheur was decorated in 1868.

ance of service under a foreign gov ernment without permission, etc.
 The emblem originally bore the DOT trait of Napoleon surmounted by an imperial crown. Coppee tells us, in the beginning the order comprised 16 cohorts" each having chief, seven grand officers, 20 majors-now called commanders-13 officers and 750 legionaries. To each grade salaries were attached, from the great eagle, who received 10000 francs, to the simple chevalier, who obtained mod
 est pension. And two schools were established for the daughters, of the legionaries. on whom the emperor re- served the right of bestowing dowries. At their initiation all the members were required to pledge their support to the defense of the state and of the liberties achieved by the revolution.
 In 1892 the order numbered 43.S51 members of all classes. By law of 1897 the number of additional crosses to be distributed was fixed at 14,320. The Nation, commenting in 1895 on the change noticeable in the Legion of Honor-nearly one-half the mem- bers civilians-the last quarter cen tury of peace not giving opportunity for the military to perform acts worthy of glorification-speaks of the pitiful jealousies and heart burnings and intrigues shown by the Parisians in their anxiety to obtain the decora. tion. Outsiders ridicule the way in which the decoration has been made common. Mark Twain, in typical Mark Twain fashion. says of the em- blem: Few escape it.

HARTJE TRIAL ENDS.
Attorneys Finish Arguments
 In Pittsburg Divorce Case.
PLAINTIFFS LAWYER CALLED LIAR
Judge intervenes In Row Between Counsei-No Decision Until Late Tn the Fall-Accusea Dctect-
 ives Arraigned.

PITTSBURG, Aug. 8.-The now fa- nous divorce trial of Augustus Hartjs has been closed.
 With brief and impassioned ad- dress by Attorney J. Scott Ferguson the curtain dropped. but not before MT. Ferguson's word was declared to be false in open court by Attorney Jonn M. Freeman, senior counsel for Mrs. Hartje, the respondent.
 Al the close of MT. Ferguson's brief argument Mir. Freeman advanced to the rail and said he wanted to correct MT. Ferguson's account of a confer ence in Attorney Watson's office.
 What you say took place did not take place." he shouted at NIT. Ferau- son, who colored and cried out:
 That's a matter of veracity between us. I'll put my word against yours any day"
 Gentlemen, we can't permit thls," said Judge Frazer, and this incident closed the trial. Immediately Mrs. HartJe was surrounded by attorneys and friends. Hartje sat in the court under storm of biting, stinging criti- cism from Attorney Freeman, who made the closing argument for Mrs. Hartje.
 Hartje, who showed emotion when the children were referred to, sat stol- Id as an image when Freeman ac- cused him of being the forger of the alleged love letters from Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje to Tom Nadine and the handspring of the alleged conspiracy to blacken his wife's name.
 As Judge Frazer stepped down from the bench he said:
 I'm glad it's over. When this case started thought 1t would take no longer than a week. I had no idea 1t would be so long. I am going on my vacation now and won't be back until the Saturday before the 1st of Sep tember. will take up this case after that. My decision may not be given until late in the fall"

RAIN sRlNas RELIEF.
4 Thundsrsterm Lowers New York Toaperatueo-Msny Fluctuations,


 A TAundsrstsrm Lowers New York TsaDsraturs-Msay Fluctuations. NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-sone slight relief was granted heat stricken New York when slight breeze from the southwest and heavy thunderstorm lowered the deadly temperature sev- eral degrees. Death claimed seven per sons during the day, and score or more prostrations had been reported. Reaching its highest point of 98 de grees at noon, the mercury began slowly to descend.
 Mrs. Mary White of 222 East One Hundred and Twenty-seventh street took her two-months-old daughter Der tha out on Ire escape, hoping to get a little relief from the heat for the baby and herself. She had had the lit tie one Tn the open air for about half an hour when she noticed that 1t seem ed to be sleeping too soundly. The mother became alarmed and rushed with the child to nearby physician, who said the child was dead from the heat.
 The hot wave has not avoided neigh boring towns and cities. The heat has been % intense in Paterson that many mills have been compelled to close down entirely or run on half time. There have been several deaths from heat, and ambulances at the hospitals have been kept busy answering calls for persons overcome. With the city parks and recreation piers thrown open to them sweltering thousands fleeing from the stifling at mosphere of stuffy tenements and car rying bedclothes with them found in the open air the sleep which had re- fused to come to them elsewhere Thousands arose more refreshed than they thought possible on account of getting advantage of slight move ment of air in the more open places.
 Family after family could be seen at all hours of the night vending their way to the nearest park or pier. the elders among them carrying the camp ing out requisites and the little ones following, their wondering faces show ing that the proceeding was one that filled them with bewilderment.
 Extra details of police were present at each of the improvised camps, and perfect order prevailed. At dawn old and young could be seen stretching and yawning on the grass before they arose. gathered up their belongings and returned to their homes for break fast.
