1t truly. 1t Is true, as Pope says,
that hope springs eternal in the hu-

do not make a grievous error in not

statement Of condemned man.
Jonathan Miller paid the penalty
of the death of Robert Conway with
the same stoical resignation which

death the case seemed at an end and
it passed from my mind along with

who Buck Everett might be, and at

in Miller's hotel at the time of the
Conway murder. When | arrived at

with the aid of stiff drink Of whisky
he revived sufficiently to make the
following confession:

Toilet Goods in japan.

Nothing has made more remarkable
progress in Japan in recent years than
the demand for toilet goods with the
general rise in the scale of living in
the country The imports have in
creased from $4,000 gold ten years
ago to s75O,O00 in 1908, while the ex-
ports last year were $1,250,000 in value.
The cost of toilet goods manufactured
in the country last year is estimated
at $500 600. Hitherto China has been
the best customer of japanese toilet
goods, but the trade seems to have
met a check in this direction. 1t is said
that German goods are fast replacing
Japanese articles in the Chinese mar
ket. The boycott movement in China
may be responsible to a certain extent
for this state of affairs, but the in
feriority of quality, which is the pre-
vailing defect in japanese goods, is
likely to be at the bottom of the whole
York Times.
