UNITED STATES AND JAPAN
NEGOTIATING A NEW TREATY

New York, Nov. 14.-The Herald
gives prominence to dispatch from
Tokyo that report is prevalent IN
the high financial circles close to the
hatsura ministry that Secretary Root
and Baron Takahira are negotiating
new treaty between the United States
and Japan, the chief terms of which
are that the high contracting parties
shall respect the integrity and indie
pendence of the Chinese empire; shall
preserve the "open door" and shall
agree that in default of special
agreement, the passage of laborers OF
either nationality from the territory
OF one to that of the other shall be
Ilterdicted, after it has been recognlz-
eu IN the treaty that the presence OF
large numbers of laborers of each ma
.lon within the territory of the other
IS calculated to impair the friendly
Ie!atlons between the two states.
The dispatch adds that official CHI
tles do not confirm this report but that
1t mas simulated the stock market.

When the horse cars were in exist
ence there was a greenhorn known as
John who conducted on the Thirteenth
and Fifteenth street lines. He boarded
with his two aunts, who lived on Cath
arine street, between Thirteenth and
Broad. One day his aunts though they
would take ride with John and see
how he- was getting along, SO they
waited for his car. Soon the car began
to get crowded and passengers got of
and on at every square. John began to
get angry. At last he became so exas-
perated at having to stop so often that
when an old lady asked him to stop at
Chestnut he bawled out: I'm darned
sick and tired pulling the bell. It's
nothing but stop here and stop there

LOWERING THE flag.
The Regulation Method Of Half
Wasting the COl0fs.


The method Of showing honor to the
dead through the position of the flag,
placing it at half mast-it is termed
in naval circles, in the army, at half
staff-is described in Article Al, par
agraph 42S, of the United States army
regulations as follows:
where the flag is displayed at half
staff it is lowered to that position
from the top of the staff 1t is after
ward hoisted to the top before it Is
finally lowered"
Eat military posts" said sergeant
Of the army recruiting station, "where
the flag staff Is planted in the ground

Ancient Scotch Custom Which In

Ancient Scotch Custom Which In
vo1ved Human Sacrifice.
Sir John Sinclair's Statistical Ac-
count Of Scotland" contains notices Of
many old customs, which still contin-
ued to be observed in the Highlands,
though they were even then fast dying
out. From the eleventh volume of that
great work, which was published in
1871 and the succeeding years, we
learn, on the authority of the minister
Of Calender, Perthshire, that the boys
of the township assembled in body
upon the moors on May day and pro-
ceeded to dig circular trench, leaving
the soil in the center undisturbed, so
as to form a low table Of green turf
sufficient in size to accommodate the
whole party.
They lighted a fire and prepared a
custard of milk and eggs and a large
oatmeal cake, which they baked upon a
stone placed in the embers. When they
had eaten the custard, they divided the
cake into as many equal portions az
there were persons in the assembly and
daubed one of those pieces with char
coal until it was perfectly black. They
they placed all the pieces Of the cake
together in bonnet, and each in turn
drew one blindfolded, the holder of the
bonnet being entitled to the last piece.
The boy who drew the blackened por-
ton was destined to be sacrificed and
was compelled to leap three times
through the flames.
Although the ceremony had degen-
Grated into a mere pastine for boys, it
is evident that it must once upon a
time have involved the actual sacrifice
of a human being in order to render the
coming summer fruitful.-Gentleman's

EFFECT OF AN AUTO RACE.
Tfckles an Owner to Have Car OF q
Make Which Takes a Big Prize.

Tfckles an Owner to Have q Car OF q
Make Which Takes a Big Prize.
It is, indeed, easily noticeable after
a big automobile race of any sort, In
which the particular winning make Of
machine gets great deal Of attention,
that owners Of cars Of this certain
make are apt to look a little bit more
proud than usual, says the New York
Sun. Take, for instance, directly after
the Grand Prix race at Dieppe, where
a Mercedes car was first. There have
been folks driving Mercedes cars in
subdued manner, about the streets of
the city for some years when tile Ger
man machine was not showing up at all
well in races.
But the moment that the news of
Lautenschlager's victory was spread
abroad they began to look little more
conscious as they drove about. It was
as If each one felt that he had tie
handling of car that might turn out
any day and win just such race.
When the Isotta- Fraschini fini SIZED
first at Briarcliff that sent the heads
Of whole lot of owners of these cars
away up. 1t is the same with every
little thing-a road race or a hill climb
or some unusual feat; they make the
driver or owner Of one Of these tri-
umphant cars bit more cocky.
When the THONGS car was leai;ng
the others across the continent Tho.las
drivers, whether they were handling
1904 or 1908 models, apparently all had
mental pictures of what they could do
to some other makes If they wanted to.
It is a sure thing that each of these
races has such result and sometimes
the drivers are surprised and hurt
when in road brush they get left By
some car that never won a blue ribbon
as a racer.

Miss Peck had previously gone to
South America twice to climb this
mountain. On an earlier trial she was
compelled to give up the attempt after
reaching height of 1850 feet, owing
to the cowardice Of her guides By
reaching an altitude of $4,000 feet Miss
Peck has assembled higher than any
other person, man or woman, in the
world. The previous record was held
by w. w. Graham, who reached a
height Of 23,SOO feet in the Himalayas.
Miss Peck began her mountain climb
ing in 1895, when she scaled the Mat
terhorn. She assembled Mount Sorata,.

Miss Peck has surmounted almost
impossible obstacles, chief among them
the lack of means. Miss Peck was at
one time professor in a Western col
lege, but for many years she has been
occupied as lecturer and has climbed
many mountains for the purpose of OBJ
tanning material for her lectures. It
has been her ambition to climb Huas-
caran, reputed the highest mountain in
the world, which all the climbers of
the world had failed to ascend. She
has had the greatest difficulty in rails
ing funds for her trips, but she has
persisted In the face Of constant dis
couragement and has started on her
mission each time with barely enough
money to take her through her sched-
ule, with no allowance for accident and
with but scanty equipment Scientifi-
cally her equipment has always been of
the best and no doubt she will bring
back some valuable observations. Her
past two trips have been made with ma
tive guides who proved almost worse
than useless. This time she had with
her two Swiss guides and it is doubt
less to their experience and hardness
that she owes her success.-Utica

GOVERNMENT BY RIGHT METHODS.

is absolute loyalty to the rule OF

majority after a fair opportunity

Of the fact that in trying to protect

foundations which are essential to
our safety.
