AMERICAN WOMAN, WIFE OF DR.
TAkAMINE, SAYS SHE OUGHT
TO KNOW.
Thinks the Attitude of CaIifornians To
ward Aoki and Helen Emery Was
Very FIattering.

BROOKLYN, N Y, April 22.-"Jap-
anese make the best husbands in the
world" With this interesting asser-
ton the accomplished and beautiful
American woman who is the wife of
DR.. Takamine, the rich Japanese chem
list and scientist, defends the interna-
tional marriage.
Mrs. Takamine was Miss Hitch
daughter of one of the old southern
families, before she met DR.. Takamine
who was a commissioner from his coun-
try to the New Orleans exposition. Her
marriage to the young Japanese doctor
of science 81 years ago, being among
the early marriages between Orient and
occident, attracted attention, but not
the disagreeable sort that has been
heaped upon the latest international
marriage from California.
Mrs. Takamine expressed her SYM
pathy for Miss Helen Emery. who, de-
spite the public clamor and protest OF
the Californians, fled to Seattle anC
married the young Japanese of hel
choice.

WHITMAN SPRIETERS

Eleven Miss. onaries Will Go to Seattle

Eleven track men, including the

Just what Whitman's chances tor

the coach refuses to give out Any
statement in regard to the men or
their condition. 1t is known, how

to get them into the best possible

mo woman in the world is more pro-
tected and better cared for than the
wife of a Japanese. The Japanese nus
band is considerable faithful and pa
tient. 1t is his philosophy, his reli-
giOn. He is a home-lOving man and
naturally he is thoughtful of the little
attentions to his home and family.
Every woman loves these little atten-
tions. Plenty of women prefer kind
words and the thought that they are
appreciated to diamond rings. If a
Japanese sees some little piece of jew
elry, ornament or painting that he
thinks his wife would like, he takes
it home to her. 1t is this sort of thing
the fact that he has thought of her
during the day-that makes her happy.
Contrast the American and the Jap
anese husband under the same circum-
stances. An American husband comes
home from business tired, nervous and
hungry. Something has happened to
the oven or the cook has allowed the
roast to burn. He is likely to become
very impatient over the delay or the
spoiled dinner. Under similar circum-
stances does a Japanese husband lose

CARNIVAL NOTES.
LARGE Crowds in Attendance and, al
Shows Well Patronized.

Notwithstanding a disposition on
the part of the weather man to throw
a damper over the festivities of the
fun festival large crowds attended the
carnival last niht and the carnival
grounds, located at Seventh and Rose
streets, were congested with good
natured crowd of merry makers and
the fun maker and fun lover Joined
hands in a true carnival spirit.
The c. w. Parker shows were lib
orally patronized on their merits and
the increased attendance over former
evenings was a substantial teStlmon-
ial to the character of the attractions
offered They have fully sustained
the reputation that preceded them,
and supplemented it by many COM
mendable features that will leave a
lasting impression. They are not only
handsomely equipped, well operated,
clean and meritorious but they are
credit to the profession of entertain
ment, and testimonial to the sound
business judgment of the gentlemen
connected with the Walla Walla Coun-
ty Fair association, under whose aus
pices they are appearing in the city.
Perhaps no single feature connected
with the Parker shows excites quite
so much favoable comment as does
the trained wild animal circus, own
ed by Colonel AL G.. Barnes the ami
NAL master. than whom none in the
United States is better known or
more successful. He has expended
thousands of dollars and devoted
thoughtful study and careful re-
search into the traits, habits and pc
culiarities of almost every known spe-
cies of wild and domestic animals,
until today he has few equals in his
line of endeavor, and stands dist1n-
guished as fostering one of the larg-
est, finest and rarest collections of
trained wild and domestic animals in
captivity.
That Sea Lion.
He not only performs in cred
liable manner upon number of mu-
steal instruments, but he actually Jug
giles flaming torches and balances
rubber ball upon the tip Of his arts
tocratic nose with all the ease and
dexterity of an experienced performer.
He concludes his remarkable perform
ance by mounting horse and riding
around the arena. Not only has ne
been taught to receive the plaudits of
the spectators with all the grace of
a matinee idol, but he ventures FUR
Their and does something that no pro-
! fessiCnal could do with impun1ty. for
he actually burlesques his admirers
/ NV striking his fore fins together in
stimulation of applause and then, as
if to show that he is DESTROYS of shar-
| ing all the honors with his mount ne
proceeds to caress the neck of the
! horse much as an appreciative rider
would do.
The Parker shows will remain open
to the public throughout the remain
| der of the week. and performances
will be given both afternoon and even
ings There is no admission to the
grounds and the several open air free
attractions offered by the Parker man
agement are all of them worth a TRIP
to the grounds to witness.

Another lesson from history In
the camapign of 1876 James Russell
Lowell was elected presidential cleo
tor from Massachusetts. He was a
Republican and was for Hayes. But
before the meeting of the electoral
college Eowell became convinced that
Tilden was elected by the people and
contemplated casting his electoral
vote for him. But finally decided
that IL was not his to cast, but right
or wrong, it belonged to the people
who elected him, ana therefore he
must cast It as they expected him to
and as their votes instructed him
Every man in the Oregon legisla-
ture had better stand with the peo-
pie. They will be here doing busi-
ness at the old stand, when the cor
ruptionists who seek to entice them

ings of liberty to ourselves and our
posterity, do ordain and establish.
From then till now no executive
officer from president down has had
right to move foot beyond the
limit the people set for him. No
judicial officer from the supreme
Judge down to justice of the peace
has any more honor or authority than
the people confer. No legislator
from the United States senator down
ever cast vote as representative
of the people, who elected MIN to
act for them. that did not voice their
sentiment as nearly as he could find
Il out, without betraying a sacred
trust. misrepresenting his supreme
sovereign, the people, and turning
Judas Iscariot to the foundation OF
his government. namely the supreme

The same old struggle that began

In our republic Il is not the petty
tyrant or the hereditary sovereign,
but the dirty politician who. tries TO

rising of the peoples rights. Our
