of Dark Ages.

TOXIC, April 1.-The historic Ia
guawa Shogunates temple, the most ia
nous edifice in Japan, was totally de-
stroyed by fire this morning. The loss
is estimated at S3,000.OOO. The destruc-
lion is regarded as a national disas-

Japan with the feudal days of the war

The building was situated in 70

dents and travellers. It's marvellous
craftsmanship, now a lost art among
the Japanese, which was displayed in
stone carving and interior decorations,
make the rebuilding impossible.

For the Business Girl.

cant afford to do anything but your
best.
No difference how small the under
taking do it as well as you can.
II you are not reliable in small

undertakings.
Be cheerful over your work. II you
have to earn your living you might
just as well be happy as grumy over ii.
Put your whole heart and soul into
doing your work well and treat all
with whom you come in contact court
eously.
Attend to business during business
hours.
And be punctual

tary?" said one merchant to another.
Il had to get rid of her." was the

Get rid of her! You told me she was
the cleyerest secretary you had ever

She was. But she was never pune
tual. In the morning when ! was ready
to dictate letters Miss Jones had either
not arrived, or was removing her hat
Ito rush in breathlessly, with her
notebook forgotten and her pencils un-
sharpened.
After luncheon it was the same
thing, and her letters, perfect when

ence is that Mr.. Burton himself is
not in the line of investigation. II
he objects to probe being insert
ed by Democratic governor then
his sympathies are with those who
need investigation by a Democratic
governor
This being the present attitude of
Mr.. Burton. II Is easy to understand
what Chairman Williams of the
State Republican committee and w.
II. Phipps. state oil inspector, were
doing in Washington last week. Dur-
ing the senatorial contest Phpps was
lieutenant Of the same Charles p.
Taft who made the motion that
George B. Cox be chosen for chair
man of the Hamilton county delega-
tion to the state convention last
year. Brother Charley gave as his
reason for wanting Cox at the head
of the delegation that, awe should
select some one who has the con-
fidence OF MS all and who has the
respect of loyal Republicans.

Taft and Phipps, and head off an
other investigation of Cincinnati, It
will be worth to him the cost Of sew
eral trips to Washington. For Mr..
Burton could as consistently object
to further probing OF Cincinnati as
he does to having probe thrust in
to state departments by Democratic
governor
What Mfr. Burton evidently wants
in preference to probing of state de-
partments by a Dbmocratic governor,
is a probe that will whitewash de-
partments occupied by Republican Of
fcials. An investigation that would
end with "every cent paid in. every
cent paid out every cent accounted
for, everything o. X" would suit
both Cox and Burton. If that kind
of probing is authorized by this Re-
publican legislature the people will

Dispatches of few days ago tod
of a primitive still which has been
made by two children from an old
bucket, an empty can and piece of
pipe. These two children were man
ufacturing 'NMountain Dew' in one
of the southern states and from the
viewpoint of a child were finding the
business quite profitable. When two
children with such articles as a
bucket, a can and piece Of pipe can
set up a still and manufature intox-

Sudden Fame for Phipps

From an obscure position as a
local politician in Paulding county
william II. Phipps has risen to fame
at a single bound. AS state oil in
spector he commanded the left flank
of the Taft forces in their celebrated
retreat from the senatoial battlefield
BY daring sortie on Washington in
the midst OF a don't-do-anythng-
without orders recess OF the state
legislature, Mr.. Phipps returns to
Columbus and is haled by one Re-
publican paper as the New Republl-
can field marshal in Ohio" That
puts him in command over any chief
of-staff who may have been or is yet
supposed to be.
Another Republican paper at Co
lumbus proclaims that Mr.. Burton
is working hand in hand with the
Taft leaders, and that Phipps has
been duly anointed High Commis-
sioner Of Patronage.

treme adulation is not half exhaust

CAPTAIN
ON TRIAL
Commander of Battleship
"Georgis," !" Charged with
Drunkenness

Gibraltar, Feb. 3-Capt. Edward
f.. Qualtrough of the battleshiT
Georgia, Is under arrest en- board his
own vessel and will be tried by court
marital on a charge that he was un.
der the influence of intoxIcants at d
reception given on shore few day;
ago.
The charges were preferred by
Rear Admiral Wainwright, command
er of the second division OF the bat
tleship squadron. The Georgia is the
flagship of the second division Of the
fleet.
Capt. QuIltough was relieved from
duty by rear admiral Immediately
after the reception and the executive
officer was placed in command. The
ship was brought into Gibraltar by
the executive
Admiral Sperry, after considering
the report OF the rear admiral de-
cided upon court martial and APP
pointed the members. The head OF
the court Is Rear Admiral Seaton
schroeder, and Major Dion Williams
of the marine corps is judge advo-
cate. he court will meet on board
one of the battleships today.
Capt. Qualtrough denies the charge.
His defense will be that he was un-
der a heavy strain during the last
run of his vessel ON account of rough
weather; that on the day of the re-
ception he had been on the bridge
since 4 O'Clock In the morning: that
he did not drink anything during the
day and partook sparingly of the
wine served at the dinner which pre-
ceded the reception. Fatigue was
responsible for his appearance.
This affair has been kept quiet, but
none the less 1t has created a pain
full impression, ad it is the first
charge preferred against an officer OF
high rank since the beginning of the
cruise.
1t is expected that the court will
render decision tonight, as only
few witnesses are to be examined.
