Women of japan

From the Travel Magazine.
MANY anecdotes illustrate the self
sacrifice exhibited by the japanese WONT
en- throughout the war. For instance, in
March. 1904. Ito Kozo, a wine peddler OF
Akasaka, being a reservist was called
to the front, leaving behind him his 80
year-old wife and two children of 3 and
years. respectively, without means OF
support during his absence. His wife
took up her husbands trade, and day aft
er day dragged Il heavy cart about the
streets from customer to customer. lead
ing the larger child by the hand and car
rying the smaller one in a sling across
her back. Her husband was disabled in
action in the month of August, and was
sent home. a cripple. The plucky wife,
however, was not daunted by the new
burden imposed upon her, but carried on
the wine-peddling business, supporting
the family by her unaided efforts. A lit
tie while later her husband became i'll Of
acute dysentery and the doctor prescribed
a change of climate for him. This was
quite out of the question, for the poor
woman was unable to raise the money
sufficient for such q trip for her hus-
band, necessary though it might be. The
magistrate OF Akasaka, learning of her
for this purpose; but just at that time
the government settled a small pension
on the disabled soldier and Kozo's wife

had given her, asking him to give it, in
stead to some family that was suffering
like hers had BEEN"

HORSE FALLS IN
SEWER OPENING
Animal Drops Out of Sight But Is
Pulled Out without
Injury

Judging from the crowd and the excite
ment, an exceedingly popular horse was
buried yesterday evening out on Eigh-
teenth street, when driver for the Acme
Laundry company drove his horse into
an open sewer between Avenues and
c. and completely lost the horse from
view.
Some contractors have opened up a
large ditch in the middle Of Eighteenth
street. They placed red lantern at
each end of the hole but the driver of
the laundry wagon thought there were
two holes, one on each side of the street.
He drove between the lanterns when his
horse suddenly dropped out the shafts
and disappeared into the earth.
Investigation showed the horse at the
bottom of the ditch standing on his feet
and looking on the ground in front of
him for bite of green grass. Charles
Transfer company was called upon for
assistance and the faithful beast was soon
on firm ground again. A veterinary was
summoned also and he pronounced the
horse uninjured from his sudden entrance
into his premature grave.

LONG TROLLY TRIP
Adventurous Person Goes All the Way
From Syracuse to Chicago

From the New York Evening World.
An adventurous traveller has made Tie
trip by trolley from Syracuse to Chicago,
a distance of 1910 miles by The route lie
took, in 40 hours. If he is all right again
after a weeks recuperation. he will start
on the second stage of his journey, to st.
Louis, which will mean 1880 miles in all if
he makes it as planned.
This modern Flying Dutehman rides on
the trolley. called by him the poor man
automobile" not with any visionary idea
of saving time or money-for necessarily
he must have plenty of both to carry Out
such an superintendent because he pre-
fers it to the plutocratic private motor
car. His specific reason for this preier-
ence is that recently he trolleyed 1t from
Manhattan to some country place up in
Westchester county, while his friends
started at the same time for the same
destination by automobile, and he got
there first, having the laugh on the joy
riders, who were stranded three miles this
side of Mamaronecll with a burst tire.
Mr. Mans notebook and records nave
not yet been sent TO Copenhagen for veri-
fication, but they sum up approximately
as follows
Paid fare GIL times, or at almost every
crossing on the suburban lines.
Asked for transfers 400 times. Got them
nine times, but missed connections.
Cash in hand plugged quarters and
pewter or Canadian dies. which the con-
duetors hand out in change, though re-
fusjnc to take them) S495
Got a seat II times. Had to give il
up 10 times-and wished | had done SO
the eleventh, as a woman whose husband
had pumped into the only place vacant
when they entered stood and glared at
me until three or four miles out of
Skaneateles.
"4AlI out; take car ahead" 80 times.
Wrong side of crossing, car wouldn't
stop, 3l6 times
Car heated, 80 times (ths was on mild
summer-like day, when the atmosphere
inside was suffocating).
In favorable comparison with the auto
mobile. the trolley car never turned turtle,
was not held up for speeding, did not Kill
pigs or MAIN agriculturists, and emitted
none of that disheartening blue smoke
which physicians declare is developing a
new and fashionable motor disease.
On the other hand. the trolley traveller
had his toes stepped on and his pockets
picked, caught contagious influenza. and
was jolted of the car platform in round
ing a curve.
Take it for all in all, honors are, about
even between the poor mans automo-
bile" and the one affected by the wealthy
and fashionable. One touch of travel
makes the whole world iin-so may the
two shake hands and call the result oil
the rivalry a draw.

VT A[[1SIER FREED
OF MURDER CHARGE
Jury's Verdict Not Guilty Came
in Few Minutes
HE PROVED AN ALIBI
Conductor Grimes Was Killed on North
EnsIcy Line May II of Last Yenr.
Summary of the Evidence
In the Case
HE PROVED AN ALIBI

Gordon McAlister was declared not
guilty of the murder of Conductor j. H.
Grimes, the jury remaining out but few
minutes The verdict was brought in
about $3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
This case was an extremely short one
for a white person, not having been
started until Tuesday morning. It was
tried in the first division Of the criminal
court before Judge Weaver and was wit
messed by an extremely large crowd.
Despite the fact that McAlllster was
identified by Motorman j. F.. Durrough
as one of the two men who killed Grimes.
he produced an albi, showing that he
had spent that particular night in the
rooms occupied by DR.. Haigler in Br-
mingham. There were but few witnesses
produced by either side In the case
The killing of Grimes occurred on
May S1st last. A ear on the North
Ensley line had made the last trip out
and was returning TO Birmingham at the
time. When the car reached North
Thomas station Conductor Grimes swung
down from the front step and started to
flag the car over the crossing. AS he did
so some one arose from a ditch parallel
ling the track and shot him down with a
shotgun. Durrough was chased into the
car and one of the men followed him. A
struggle between him and Durrough took
place in the car, Durrough selling the
barrel of the gun after the man had
aimed it at him and pulled tile trigger
while the gun only snapped. Durrough
then ran out of the rear of the car and
into the woods close by where he re-
manned for several hours until freight
train came along and stopped when the
engineer noticed an electric car over the
crossing.
After Durrough had been chased away
the dead body of Grimes was picked off
the ground and taken into the car, where
his clothes were found to be rif1ed. !
A careful survey of the surroundings
made by the first arrivals on the scene
at daybreak revealed the imprints of two
men having lain upon the bank of the
ditch, while two distinct strings of foot
prints, different from either Durr9ugh' s
or Grimes, were found leading from the
ditch to the car and spot where Grimes
was shot down. The cartridge wads were
found living close beside Crimes body,
while his blood was spattered upon the
rails, cross ties and cinders with which
the track was packed

The dealer showed him some.
pore a little of that powdah in my
hand"
The old darby took the powdah near
the light, ran his forefinger around and
around in IT., looked at 1t critically and
then smeled 1t two or three times.
"And you say this heah is powdah?"
Eyes" answered the dealer sharp1yf
"that is powder. What is the matter
with it?"
Dunno. hoss'-the darby shook his
head doubtfully-"but hit smells to ma
like it's done been shot off befoah."

1880 A FOOT PAID
ON THIRD AVENUE

Thirty three thousand four hundred and
three dollars and eghty-three cents
was the consideration involved in a
real estate transfer yesterday between
James Hood and r. n. Wheeler, the for
mer conveying to the latter his half in
terest in the lot ON which is located the
building occupied by the Hood & Wheeler
Furniture company, 2012-14 Third avenue.
The lot fronts so feet on the north side
OF Third avenue between Twentieth and
Twenty-first street and extends TO a
depth of 40 feet.
The warranty deed filed yesterday in the
office of the probate court describes the
property as lot 10, block "A, Elyton Land
conapany's survey of Birmingham. Mr..
Hood was formerly the owner of half in
terest in the lot, valued at s1,500. The
purchaser pays $33, 1888 cash and assumes
the mortgage held on the property for
the remainder of the half interest. The
Falue set on the lot is hence 1850 per
