MR.. STEVENS FUNERAL
WILL TAKE PLACE WEDNESDAY
AT ST. JOHNS CHURCH.

The Japanese ambassador announces
that the funeral of the late Durham
White Stevens. adviser to the Korean
government will be held at ST. John
Church, 18th and II streets, Wednesday.
April 8. at 80 o'clock in the afternoon
The assassination of Mr. Stevens by a
Korean fanatic occurred in San Francisco.
and while at first 1t was hoped that Mr..
Stevens would recover all efforts failed
and he died March %. 1905.
His DEATH" said an official OF tho
Japanese embassy today, lis bitter, sad
ending TO career which had been so
peaceful and full of honor. 1t can be said
of Mr.. Stevens, as IT can be said of few
men, that he had those cndearing quail
ties which made his friends feel he was
always growing nearer and closer to them
than when the friendship was first form
ed. He did no man harm; he was always
thoughtful of others, charitable TO n
fault and could find good in the acts and
words of others where many believed
none existed. During the thirtyfive years
of his public career there was not a
smirch upon his record
For ten years. from 1873 to 1888 he was
secretary of the legation of the L nited
States at Toxic. when he resigned to en-
ter the diplomatic service of Japan. His
loyalty to Japan and his great skill as a
diplomatist had been often recognized by
that government. From time to time the
emperor has conferred upon Mr.. Stevens
marked distinction of his personal favor.
and has decorated him with the Order Of
the Rising Sun, from the fourth grade to
the first. AS a lasting evidence of the
high regard in which Mr.. Stevens was
held by Japan it is now proposed that u
fund of 100000 shall be paid to mis-
family.

HUMANE OFFICERS OBJECT.
Sale of Chicks or Ducklings at
Easter Will Cause Trouble

officials of the Washington Humane
Society annonced today that they will
prosecute any merchant who sells little
chicks or ducklings to children to be
used as Easter presents. 1t was the GUS
tom for many years for children 10 cart
arounu in boxes, etc. little chicks or
ducks on Easter day. but the practice was
deemed cruel and inhuman. and last year
the Humane Society put a stop to IT.
The society served notice on various
dealers throughout the city notifying them
that they would be prosecuted if caught
selling these small specimens to chill
dren. 1t is claimed the children i'll treat
the chickens and ducks and after being
amused by them for a day or SO they
grow tired of the novelty and allow them
to die. The Humane Society will repeat
its efforts of last year in this connection
this year.

MAYOR THOMPSON
IS GOOD LOSER
HAD TO GET BEATEN SOME TIME
AND I'VE WON MANY VICTOR
TORIES, HE SAYS.

Mayor Thompson spent most OF
Thursday morning in his office receiv-
ing friends and sympathizers. He was
the best loser OF all the Democrats
that gathered In the city hall. The
mayor has considerable to engage
him in a business way and has had
to neglect his private affairs to such
an extent as mayor that the verdict
which retires him TO plain citizenship
Is not as severe blow as it might be
to another.
"A man who engages in politics has
to take chances" he said simply II
had to get beaten some time, and |
can at least remember that have had
a number OF victories to my credit.
THE Republican vote was too big
this year, that is all. figured that |
would run 10000 ahead OF Bryan,
which | did. but the vote for Taft was
overwhelming and II swept everything
with IT. The vote was much larger
this year than that of two years ago.
II shall be no less busy in trying 10
give a good administration during the
last months OF my term than was be.
fore. | cannot say that there will be
any new policies, however"
The Democratic politicians have
come to the conclusion that any Re
publican mayoralty candidate would
have won this year. Another man
might have run less well in the outly-
Ing wards but would have carried the
central wards by larger majorities.

WHITE MUST PAY TAXES

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 5.-Count
Witte, ex-premier OF the Russian EN-.
pire and high commissioner OF the
GEAR at the peace conference OF Ports
mouth. cannot leave Russia again until
he has paid his back taxes for the
residence he hires In st. Petersburg.
Ex-Minister Durnov Is In the same
predicament. Both gentlemen refuse
payment for the reason that, while
they maintain a residence In st.
Petersburg, they live abroad. The
court having rendered Judgment
against them and the sheriff being
unable to find any property to attach,
the chief OF police gave orders that
no travelling passports should be is-
sued to either OF the ex-ministers until
the overdue taxes are paid. The hui
morous part Is that the residence tax
now fought by the two excellencies
was introduced by Witte himself and
supported by Durnov while In Office

HOUSE-FLY IS AN
AWFUL MORMON
DEADLY CARRIER OF DISEASE
PRODUCES MILLIONS OF HIS
PEsTIFERoUs KIND IN YEAR.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 5.-The hum
BILE house fly Is embalmed In a four
page pamphlet just issued by State
Entomologist Bruner, who has some
ideas on how to get rid OF him. A
single house fly, he says. can be the
progenitor OF 1875 quadrillions OF flies
In ten generations, which he reduces
to more conceivable proportions by
saying IL means 195,000,000 bushels OF
flies.
From ten TO dozen generations can
be reared in year, which gives some
idea OF the dimensions OF the fight
that Is on to get rid Of the insect,
Eggs are deposited In masses OF 100,
which breed as maggots and then pu-
para In four to six days. The same
period of time Is required TO make
them full-grown insects, thus making
10 TO IL days the period for rearing a
family.
The remedies he proposes largely
embrace the limiting of the food sup
ply. The increase OF screens and other
preventive measures has forced the
fly, to other pastures than the dinner
table, and Mr.. Bruner thinks that II
equal precautions were taken against
the deposit OF manure or sewage about
dwelling places that many lives would
be saved.
The fiy. he says. is the chief carrier
Of typhoid, and has been known 10
carry the deadly disease OF anthrax
from the carcass of COW that had
died with II TO deposit II In a small
cut on a mans hand.
