j. w. GATES WIDELY NrOURNED.
Leaves Estate Estimated at About
$6O,OOO,OOO.

Paris, Aug. 9.--The death this
morning of John w. Gates, the Amer
lean f1nancier, has called forth many
expressions Of regret. not only from
his wide circle Of acquaintances, but
from numberless Farisians who knew
him as bold and successful business
man, had been deeply moved by the
courageous struggle which he made
against an illness, the fatal outcome
of which had been feared.
Mrs. Gates and her son, Charles G.
Gates, are much worn by their long
period OF anxiety and nursing, and
much sympathy for them Is express
ed. AS soon as word of Mr.. Gates's
death had been cabled to America,
messages of coincidence commenced
to arrive at their hotel from friends
and business associates In the United
States and elsewhere.
Mr.. Gates had lately placed his for
tune largely In substantial securities.
Some of those here who were close
friends of his estimate that his estate
will be near $G0,0OO,OOO.
The body will be taken home prob
ably on the Wilhelm Der Crosse,
which will sail from Cherbourg on
Wednesday, the 10th. 1t was on this
same steamer that Mr.. Gates had
planned to sail for New York in the
first week in July. He had been in
Europe month then.
Two weeks after his arrival i'm
Paris he suffered from pains in the
throat, and was reported to have un-
dergone several operations for this
trouble. Relief was afforded, but
later it was stated by his physicians
that poisons from the throat abscess
had entered the kidneys, resulting in
serious complications.
The official statement of the physi-
clans said that the immediate cause
of the death was heart failure, the
lungs having stopped their functions
and smothered the action Of the
heart.

Burns the Stars and Stripes.

Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. 11.-A dis
patch from London, Ontario, says:
Thomas Midgeley, who prides him
self in the title Yankee latcr,' last
night publicly burned the stars and
stripes in the streets Of he town of
Woodstock A few hours before some
one, in a spirit of mischief, had nail
ed an AmericaR flag above the door
of his shop.
When Midgeley saw the flag no
called his neighbors around him and
walking to the middle Of the street
lighted fire and burned the flag.
Then he scattered the ashes about the
street chat the horses might trample
them under their feet
His action was applauded by a
large crowd. A local newspap er,
which Is strongly opposed to reciproc-
ity, refers to Midgeley as man
whose heart rings true with loyalty
and patriotism"

Wife's Place in Japan.

One OF the proverbial japanese ex'
rcessions characterizing the island
empire is that it is the land where
the day would not dawn without the
tender SEX" This is a plain admis-
sion of woman's mighty influence, and
refers indirectly to NEUROLOGICAL
story OF the sun goddess from whom
the imperial family is supposed to
have sprung. In Japan in early times
the wife seems to have had her full
share of the respect Of the husband.
Instead of taking her to wife" the
earliest Japanese word for marriage
means "the union of the man and
woman" The woman, after her mar
riage, continued to live with her par
ents and her husband visited her
daily. AS soon as his means permit
ted he built a new house and the wife
came to live In it with him. Even to
this day the word shinzo, newly
built" means wife; that Is, the woman
who occupies the domicilC. especially
erected for her comfort. In the civil
ceremony of marriage, in which the
slipping of rice wine is the prominent
feature, the bride drinks first, the cup
then being passed to the bridegroom.

Road1eSs Russia.

Russia is a roadless land. It IS in
conceivable to the foreign visitor who
has ever left the beaten track of the
railways In Russia how great en-
pire can have subsisted SO long and so
successfully amid the competition Of
the rival states beyond its borders
without even a pretense at roads.
The secret, Of course, lies in the fact
that for five or six months in the year
nature herself provides roads over the
greater part Of the expanse of all the
Russias, admirably smooth. CLASSY
roadways over hard worn snow. The
traffic is further cheapened over these
roads by the substitution Of sledge
runner for the wheel and axle This
brings the cost Of land carriage as
near the cheapness of water borne
freight as possible, and it is the prin-
cipal reason why Russia in the twen-
