Settling a Matrimonial Dispute.

Mime. Sada Yacco, the famous Japa- nese actress. who had been friend of the assassinated Prince Ito from her childhood. told the following amusing anecdote:
 "In my frequent quarrels with my husband we sometimes asked Prince Ito to judge between us. One day when we had had a more than usually violent dispute at Chigasaki the prince came in unexpectedly, and. asked him to decide the question. But he declined. while proposing the follow ing solution:
 '''Go down into the garden. both of you, and fight it out like sumo tori (wrestlers). The one that wins will naturally be the one who is in the right.
 "No sooner said than done! In a trice Kawakami and I were in wres- ting trim. By good luck my husband was just recovering from serious ill- ness. and as he was very weak I soon threw him to the ground. This amused the prince enormously. who. of course, had foreseen the end of the unequal match"

Pigeon Whistles of PekIn.

The smallest musical instruments in the world are the pigeon whistles of Pekin. They are made of thinnest bamboo and tiny gourds scraped to pa- per-like delicacy and fastened beneath the tail feathers of the carrier pi- geons.. As the birds fly through the air these instruments emit a weird aeolian melody like the harps of fairy land. Every morning and afternoon the vault of Pekin's sky, is swept by these sweet, mournful notes as the birds fly to and fro, carrying messages to the bankers, the merchants, the law yers, invitations. letters, stock quota tions, a system older than the tele- graph or telephone or the oldest letter service, as old as time itself There are some twenty different kinds of pigeon whistles. some of them simple bamboo tubes with but one top and some as elaborately constructed as miniature organ pipes. They are all of featherweight lightness and when held in the hand and swept through the air emit the same delicate whis- tiing notes as when borne through the upper atmosphere by the carrier pi- RponS

A DioIomatic Official.

| During the reign of Emperor Napo- leon III. he and the empress visited Normandy and had arranged to spend a couple of days at Evreux. M. Jan- vier de Ia Monte. who was the prefect, learned that the revolutionaries intend ed to hiss the sovereigns as they pass ed, and so he summoned the leaders of the movement and told them that he knew of their plot. ''If you carry out your plan," said he to them, you will get six months in prison. If you do not your friends will accuse you of cowardice and treason. AS way out of the difficulty I propose to lock you up at once until the emperor has gone" The conspirators accepted the terms offered them, and so the em- peror was greeted only by cheers, as the revolutionaries, frightened at the arrest of their chiefs, had not dared to utter a sound. After the emperor and empress had gone the prefect went in person to release his prisoners, who had had such pleasant time that they greeted him with cries of Long live the prefectp to which M. Janvier de Ia Monte, who was man of wit, re- piled, My friends, do not overdo it."

RuIIfiohters Afraid of.cows.

Most Spanish bullfighters object to fighting cows. The average toreador is sincerely afraid of q cow. And he has good reason. The cows of the half wild breed used for the arena are much quicker in their movements than are the bulls. Their horns are more pointed and more formidable They do not lower their heads to the ground, shut their eyes and charge like a locomotive upon the rails, but are alert and ready to follow every movement of their prosecutors. Their warlike tactics have been adapted not to blind. bovine frontal attacks, but to the strategy of active and cunning beasts of prey of which the human bullfghter is only a feeble mimic.

cemeteries Where Women Gossip


 Friday, the Sabbath of the Moslems. when all true believers of the mascu- line gender make a point of going to church, their wives, sisters and daugh- ters resort to the cemeteries and wall for the dead. But all their time is not spent in weeping. and sorrow is not the only emotion they display, on these occasions. They take with them punches and garlands of flowers and decorate the graves of their relative es and pray and weep over the dead for a time. Then when this pious duty is performed they gather in little groups and have good time gossiping about the living. Thus the day/of mourning is very popular among the Moslem wo- men. It gives them almost the only opportunity they have of cultivating the acquaintance of their neighbors.

RATES ARE CUT BY
|. SHIPPING COMPANY
American-Hawaiian Line Re-
duCes Schedules TO Those
of Competitors

Word was spread in shipping circles
yesterday that the American Hawaiian
steamship company had cut its rates to
meet those of the California-Atlantic
line, known as the Bates & Chesebrough
company. While there were general
denials OF an impending rate war it
was clear that a great struggle for
business had been begun.
The American Hawaiian company
operates by way of the isthmus Of Te-
huantepec. while the California Atlantic
line uses the Panama railroad. The
situation did not become acute until the
early part of November, when the Cali
fronia Atlantic inaugurated dispatch
service to New York with a fiat 40 cent
rate. The next move came from the
Pacific Mail, which came back with the
same rate and a similar dispatch serv-
ice
All this time the Hawaiian
was carrying full loads at rates vary
ing from As to 65 cents a hundred.
Within the last few days however.
have come rumors that the Pacific Mail
boats might be Withdrawn, leaving the
field to the California Atlantic and the
American Hawaiian. AS though to an
tlcipate keen rivalry with the Bates
& Chesebrough line, the American
Hawaiian has made rate reductions and
has shortened it's time between San
Francisco and New York
While the American Hawaiian is not
quoting a fat 40 cent rate it is ar
cepting occasional cargoes at this fg-
ure Recent shipments of barley and
beans have gone forward on this sched
ule. In order to bid the more strongly
Tor business against it's rivals. the
American Hawaiian has broken its rec
ords for quick service. It's shipment

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 12.-Herbert
Mason Clapp. wealthy clubman of this

money from that source. Four years

Shortly after the divorce Clapp mar
ried Marie Leakell, of this city.

he kept under his pillow and threatened
TO kill her.

CLARENCE BARROW ON
PERSONAL LIBERTY

easier to reach a rational solution of
a very vexing problem.
Mr.. Darrow frankly confessed that
he did not know whether Lincoln
would prosper best under "wet" or
a "dry" policy. and furthermore ad-
mitted that he didn't care. He did be-
lieve, however, that personal liberty
was to be considered above dollars
and cents, and declared that he had
a perfect right to drink glass of beer
if he so desired, smilingly adding that
it tasted good all the way down." He
was not at all complimentary to the
women, but this may have been due to
the "nagging" that was persisted in
by some over-zealous women in the
audience. He feared that if liquor
were prohibited the prohibitionists
would follow up the lead until they
had prohibited about everything that
goes to make life pleasant. Material
pleasure seemed to be the chief source
of Mr.. Darrow's concern, and his
frankly admitted materialistic utter

Human liberty is not safe in the
hands of such people," declared Mr..
Darrow, meaning, of course, those who
would prohibit the sale of intoxicants.
He favored giving them an island all
to themselves where they could have
just such a government as they want
ed, without infringing upon the rights
of others.
