Bugs Stop Trolley Cars.

Wichita was visited by millions of
green night bugs which, with the
swarms of mosquitoes infesting the
city, made life on the streets near
electric lights a misery. Street cars
were delayed by myriads of the crea-
lures on the tracks and linotype ma
chimes in a newspaper Office had to
be stopped. The bugs collected about
lights so thick that each light looked
like lantern in a snow storm.

JULIA SETON SEARS
 TO LEAVE ENGLAND

London, January 14.-(Epecial.)-Julia Seton Sears has told her friends and pat roness, Lady Duff Gordon. that she in- tends to shake the dust of England from her feet. Julia Seton Sears has fallen flat in London. The high priestess of the New Thought religion and founder of the New Thought City is voted bore. Londoners are generally keen enough on new religions if they are made exciting, but Julia Seton Sears is about the dull est and the fastest talker that ever struck these shores. She was brought over here by Lady Duff Gordon, but in vain did the latter and her sister, Elinor Glynn, try to create vogue for Julia. People came at first to her small parlor audi ence talks and attended her service at the Bechstein hall. But the audience dwindled. They could not follow Julia's ceaseless torrent of nasal explanation, which seemed to have no beginning and no end In vain did Lady Dun Gordon rattle teacups in an adjoining room. In vain did guests crawl one by one to the door and with profuse excuses escape
 Julia would not stop. The little that they could grasp of her ideas the mem- bers of the audience found was Christian Science with the stuffing taken out; still, if she had boosted up her talks with some amusing stories and brightened things up generally she might have had a success; as 1t was, her congregatiorp have dwindled to five old maids and ! dissenting parson addicted to drink.

CURIOUS MANA
 FOR DECORATIONS

Paris January 14-{Special.)- )--The enor- nous number of decorations conferred in France for little or no reason has, for a long time, been regarded as a scandal and this is especially the case with regard to the academic palms-the violet ribbon pected button-holes.
 M. Maurice Faure, minister of public instruction, has appointed a oommitteee to consider the means of remedying the abuses at present rife in the distribution of the academic palms. and has given to a representative of the Temps some in- teresting facts Illustrating the curious mania for decora tions which is so prev alent in France. In 1897 40OO persons re- ceived this decoration, which was origi- nally intended solely for the dignitaries of the university, while in 1907 their number had increased to 13,000-a figure which remains practically stationary. At present the ministry of public instruc- tion has over 5000 dossers, presented by claimants to examine.
 It might, M. F'aufe suggested, reduce the number of claimants if all those who were not members of the university were compelled to usa paper embossed with a state stamp to a certain amount in presenting their claim, and If they had to pay tax for wearing the ribbon Further, he considered that some means of withdrawing decorations which had been unworthily bestowed were absolute ly necessary.

vince of Japan, and to Japanize 1t as fast as the circumstances will allow. The wishes of the. Koreans will count save in so far as these may coincide with the interests of Japan. The ele- vation of a number of prominent Koreans to the Japanese peerage so far from being a particularly magnani- nous thing. was simply a stroke of policy to secure the support of these natural leaders of the people. Gradu- ally all legal hearings will be con- ducted in the Japanese language. The public schools will follow this example. Young men and women desiring to go abroad for study will be shut up to the necessity of going to Japan, passports to any other country being refused them.
 Whatever can be done to submerge the seperate national life of the Korean peo- pie will be done. That the body of the Koreans do not relish the existing regime needs scarcely be said. I was in Seoul on the day when all business houses from the largest down to the most in- significant were required for the first time to display the Japanese national flag. With customary precision. the police had notified everybody in advance that 1t must be done, and that whoever failed would pay the penalty of refusal and disobedi- ence. But 1t was not done joyfully; far from 1t. On the contrary, a spirit of rather sullen reluctance brooded over the whole community.
 Even those Koreans who know-what is the fact--that their country has been out raseously oppressed by its own rulers for centuries, and who are fully aware that the present conditions are due to the folly and wickedness of the two ex-emperors, fall to relish the presence and dominion of foreign power, and naturally so. It Is not in human nature to rejoice under the pressure of an alien hand. Time, of course, may modify the present antipa- thies. Everything will depend on the course that Japan pursues. If she knows how to be strong and gentle at the same time, she may. in the end, win the good will of her new subjects That she knows how to be strong there can be no ques- ton. Her grip Is one of iron. She has airsady disarmed tho natives with abso- iute thoroughness No Korean is allowed to carry a gun or pistol even for killing the pteasants and other game with which the country aboundsr There are military camps in all the important centers, and the police are everywhere giving reason able protection to life and property. and keeping close swatch on all that hap pens. had scarcely landed in Seoul be- fors . policeman called to know who wast what might bs my business. how

Something like 1t occurs to every foreign visitors. For a view of all these matters one may read Hurlburt's "The Passing of Korea" Ladd's ''In Korea With Marquis Ito" and McKenzie's The Trag- edy of Korea" The first two of these books are partisan, very partisan, the one for and the other against Japan. The third one is much fairer In addition to these I would suggest pr.
