form what is known as the depart
ment of communications. Although
this department has had only a few
years in which to build up the tele-
phone service it has made such prog
ress as to put the japanese system in
condition which makes it so much
superior to others in the east that it
is not for a moment to be compared
with them, says the American Tele-
phone Journal. In fact the Japanese
telephone men have adopted many
ideas in connection with the building
and operation of their plants which
show that they could give valuable
pointers to many Europeans in charge
of telephone systems under govern
ment control.
Their prOgressiveness, for example,
in the use of telephones to aid in
army maneuvers is known to the
whole world. 1t is acknowledged
everywhere that in the late war with
Russia they developed field telephone
service to point of greater efficiency
than has been reached by any other
army.
Toxic has. as would be expected,
the largest telephone system of any of
the Japanese cities, and the general
features of construction and operation
there seem to be typical of the prac-
tee throughout the country
Out of a population of nearly a mil
lion people about $1,000 are subscrib-
ers for telephone service. The lines
are divided between five Offices The
rates are Sc yen (about $3.50 for
either business or residence stations
All lines are individual, party line
service being esteemed unsatisfactory.
Cleanliness is the most noteworthy
thing which impresses itself upon a
visitor to one of these central Offices
The reason for the absence of dust is
made apparent to the stranger by the
request that he shall remove his
boots before entering, which is
courteously made at the door Al
though a pair of slippers is provided
as substitute for the foot covering
worn out of doors, the shape of these
shoes is SO peculiar that the writer
has in some instances found it more
convenient to walk in his stocking
feet The advantage of this oriental
custom of removing the shoes before
walking upon the floor of a room is
shown clearly enough by the results.
The Japanese Offices are by long
odds the neatest the writer has ever
been in in any part of the world
All the operators are girls. The end
less succession of challenges, Nan
ban" tnumber), is spoksp in a we'll
nlodulated tone of voice and all calls
seem to be answered promptly.

Marie Ballast thus ended forever the
new love dream in which Stern had
lost all sense of honor and obligation
to her.
On July % occurred one of the most
sensational murders in New York 8
recent history. Miss Esther Nor

her partner, was not worthy of her
trust and love, and thrust him out of

crime is laid at the door of poor.

separated him from the last hope OF
earthly happiness or all connection
with a decent life, Warner shot and
killed her in the very door of the
store where she was employed as
cashier, at No. 8 West .Forty-second
street. Then, blood-crazed, he dashed
down town and killed a lifelong
friend, John c. Wilson, a millionaire
hat manufacturer of Waverley place
and Greene street, who was in the act
of loaning the crazed man money
a doughty and strong armed minis
ter of the gospel saved a young wom-
an from a hated marriage and per-
haps from actual death at Asbury
Park on September 10. Belle Grouse
daughter of a Presbyterian minister
at Stanhope, N. J., was engaged to
Percy C. Bissell, student at the state
normal school, Trenton, n. J., when
rumors reached her that her intend
ed was a confirmed gambler. Her ia
Their found that the rumors were only
too true and the engagement was
broken off The Crouses went to
Ocean Grove, whittier young Bissell
followed. The two young people met
on the street, and surreptitiously Bis
sell displayed a revolver and ordered
the girl to accompany him to the pas
torate of RevsC. NJ. Griffin, pastor of
the Ashbury Park Methodist church.
In the middle of the service Miss
Grouse began to scream, asking that
she be protected from her too anxious
lover Whereupon, the clergyman,
being strong of arm, pinioned the half
crazed youth, and Miss Grouse es-
capped to the bosom of her family.
But the end was not yet, and friends
of the family assert that Bissell should
be confined, as the girl is not safe
so long as he is at large.
And last comes Julius Hoffman,
married, formerly a lieutenant in the
Austrian army, who for love and
jealousy killed Draga Siegel. For he
had given up wife, children and
friends. Hoffman and his wife had
come from Australia, bringing with
them Draga, who had been an appren-
tice in Mrs Honman's dressmaking
establishment.
In New York they all prospered I'M
til love, blind, irresponsible, unreason-
ing love, took hand in the game
Mrs. Hoffman left her husband and
Draga went to live with family
by the name of Lucas Hoffman
lived alone Mrs Hoffman brought
suit against Draga Siegel, who in an
ether year would come into an inner
itance of $10O, 900, for alternating her
husbands affections, and Draga in
turn brought suit for defamation of

of many admirers treated with CO
quettish liberation by the belle of
Carmine street and the Spring street
factory, but in time all fell back in
favor of Vincenzo Lavorce. The be-
trothal of the handsome couple was
announced, their wedding day grew
near-but with it came death An
toinette, not content with her con-
quest had later made fun of Ffglia,
who was small and unattractive, call
ing him 1.-THE Toad" On the twenty
sixth day of November THE Toad
and the factory beauty met during
the noon hour at the water cooler. An
angry question, haunting reply, four
reports from a death-dealing pistol, a
once beautiful form lying in a pool of
blood, a sullen man facing the officers
of the law
"She made fun of me, and I killed
her. Now she won't marry any one,
and if 1 die, too, 1 don't care"
December, month of the Christ
child, passed without a murder in the
name of Love; but on January the
police gathered into their drag-net Leo
Mitchell, who for more than four
years had been in hiding for the muir
der of Marie Lewrazzo, pretty girl
who had refused to marry him, after

ran a flower stand at Eighty-frst
street and Columbus avenue, shot and
killed Mrs. Madeline Wiedman, the
wife of his business ghbor, John
Wiedman, a news dealer. Mrs. WED
man was a striking brunette who with
her assistant, Miss Ratel, piled the
trade of manicuring at the Endicott
hotel. She lived at No. 80 West
Eighty-second street, whittier on the
| fatal night George Fallen had been
hidden, with other guests, to celebrate
a birthday. AS the guests separated,
Fallen drew Mrs. Wiedman aside and
again urged the unlawful love which
she had often spurned, and, being
spurned again, that love cried hoarse-
ly: I'm tired of this nonsense. 1
love you, and I'm going to have
you"
Then again the fatal shot and an
other at Mrs. Wiedman's assistant,
who came to her rescue, and still a
third and a sharp knife at his own
throat. Another tragedy in the name
of Love had been written in New
York's criminal annals.
