side Of the front and the trousers are
made without fly and are finished with
leg bands or elastics. Linen, repp, gala
tea, piqUe or madras may be used. The
pattern offers a novelty in a suit OF this
nature and the mother who likes her
children's clothes to be a little differ
emit" will surely appreciate the model.

UNPREJUDIcED OPINION.

The French newspapers are very much puzzled tO account for the protests being made by the Brit iSh press against the action of the American congress in rclicv- ing from ioIls through inc Pan ana canal American shipping cn- gagged in rOasiwisr trade. The French authorities insist that Ihc Americans have only exercised a rIghl that every other nation would exercise under similar con- ditions, and they go further by declaring that after all Inc Pan anna canal is an American water way in which Europe has but lit- tlc interest, and that its principal importance is that the coasts of the United States are thereby brought nearer together and America is enabled to hold that balance of power in the Pacific tO which il is clearly entitled.
 This is an opinion by practical ly disintcrcsted persons and as such it should have considerably more weight than would those oi either individuals, corporations or governments having selfish enc in view. The French authoriiic: arc too diplomatic 10 call attcn- lion to tho fact that the opposi- lion io inc canal measure, both ir Europe and America, is due to tho desire to defeat the provision against the use of tho canal by railway-owned ships, and thai the Pacific railways of Canada backed by the power of the Pacific railways of inc United States, arc

JUST IMPUDENcE.

William D. IIaywooi, head ot the Industrial Workers of tho World, says there will be d gen cral strike in this country if Et- tnr and GiOvannilii, now impriS- oncd in Massachusetts for their part in the Lawrence strike, are not released. Every wheel will cease lO turn and every mill, fac f"ry, mine and industry will be shut down,' he predicts if these mcn are not released, for ''wc know that they have committed n" crime or offence against so- cirty. vet they have been cnnl- prllrd l." stay in jail eight months"
 As a class advocate IIaywunl i$ nothing if not enthusiastic. It s"cmS likely that he iS nvcropio- thistle alu,uI this general strike. though. There won't be any gen rral strike, because the American people. even the most radical of lhr labor uni0nistS, are foo sen .iDlc to take part in such an af- Fair. Ettor and Giovannitti may be as innocent as unborn babes of the crimes of which they are accused. If they are, it is to be presumed that they will have fair facilities for proving their inno- ccncc at the trial which was be- gun on Wednesday. Meantime, even labor unionists don't forget that the McNamaras protested their innocence violently, and oth- rr persons of great emincnce in inc labor world made statements about the impOssibility of their guilt quite as flat as Haywood, :, about the Lawrence prisoners. So perhaps it is as well to have a Trial before IIaywOod's friends ar" sent out into the world again. Meantime his threat of a gcnrr- al strike is sheer impudencc. It Is "anti-Snciar' to oppress OF punish unjustly through process of law any individual. But how much more anti-social" would be this general strike! If the full ness of lime and proper legal processes show Ettor and Ciiovan- nitti to be innocent, nobody will know better than they and Hay wood how tO utilize their 'mar- tyrdom." Until that time his talk of Daralyzing the industry of the country and blitLely bringing about inc suffering which a gen cral strike would produce indi- cafes that he and his like are a real menace to the class they pro frss tn help.

THE BURIAL OF MursUHITo.

THE BURIAL OF MUTsUHITo.
 Two imperial funerals in our
 time come to mind for cOmpari-
 son with that of MutsuhitO. They
 are those of William I of Ger
 many and of Victoria of Great
 Britain. In the importance of the
 rrlgnS in the histories of the
 countries, and in the popular af-
 lection in which the sovcreignS
 were held, comparison is not un- just or incongruOus. Each of the three gave to his OF her empire
 a new and splendid era, profound
 ly and permanently imprcssing it's
 whole national life and charac-
 ter. Each was assured of fame
 long before the end of life. But in some not unimpOrtant respects, not least of all in appeal io tha imagination, the funeral of Nut SuhitO stands not in comparison but in striking contrast to The others.
 The British monarchy is anri- rnt, and the line of BrandrnburG datrS far back. But they are mod rrn by the side of the dynasty of Japan. Even if We dismiss Jim ml Irnnn t0 the age of fable and begin with the truly and indispuI - ably historic part of Japanese an naIs. we find inc present dynasty established before the Saxon IL was fitting, there fore, that there should be d com minGling of the antique and the modern in the great funeral pro- cessIon. The huge car, precise ly such as was used a thousand years ago, was drawn by oxen as of old, and was attended by guards in ancient armOr, bearing bows and spears and battle axes, pre- cisely as the warriors of the Elm press lingo were equipped in the invasion of Korea. Yet the scene was illumined by electro lights of a type unknown before the goth century, and there were in the tIain thousands of soldiers with the most modern equipment. Tn another respect the occasion was noteworthy. It was the funeral of the only Emperor Japan had really known in the time of even the oldest men now living. For those who can remember hi, pre- dccessor remember a shadOwy monarch, who was kept in scclu- sion while the ShOguns really rul- ed the land. But MutsuhiIo was "cvcry inch king"
 The most obvious contrast of all, however, is the character of the regard paid to the departed William and Victoria wcro esteemed as great man and a great woman. But MutsuhitO, like Roman emperors, only with far more sincerity of faith than they, is translated into divinity. Of that the ShintO rites remind us Japan is partly Shinlo, part ly Buddhist and partly Christian; but il is still entirely ShintO in inc religion of patriotism. In- deed, ShintOism is patriotism rather than religion. It has no dnctrinal code, no idol worship, no DricStcraft, no definite teach ing of future life. But il has regard io the forces of nature, and among these it. rcckons great men as fh" most important. Mulsuhito is thus enrolled among inc gods. not for worship in our sense of inc term, but for studying and fol- lowing as an cXcmplar, and with the implicit belief that his spirit survives and will continue lo ani- mate his people. In that view "thc Way of the Gods" i' not un- deserving of even Christian re- spect. If the people of Japan do keep the spirit of MuCsuhito alive and potent among them they will do wcll.--N. Y.

sedan chairs, and feeling the atmos-
phere oppressive asked the bearers to
give them a little fresh air by opening
the roof The men met the request
with stolid Indifference, so the travel
ers decided to open the roof them
selves. AS they approached the city
they found that they were the objects
Of considerable attention. A crowd Of
500 surrounded the chairs, and soon 1t
increased to 1000, the people uttering
menacing cries. Happily nothing
worse happened. When they reached
their destination their host received
them with astonishment. Good gra-

The barbastel is generally insecti-

Old Mansion May Be Sold for Taxes

HICAGO.-Remnants of what once
u was the Reber mansion, Chicago's
pride in ante-bellum days, will be sold
for taxes by Cook county some time
in March. For forty years county,
state and city have attempted unsuc-
cessfully the collection Of taxes on
this last vestige of the Reber estate.
And the proceeding will not be
without its pathos and romance. BY
It the home will be sold over the head
of Gertrude V. Reber Backus, who in
her eighth decade of life is alone in
the world. In her eighty years she
has seen the mansion Of old trans
formed into a forfeited hovel.
The property is at Ellis avenue and
East Fortieth street, in the heart of a
choice residence district. Lots Of 90
foot frontage there are valued at
100000 Tax complications have de-
stroyed title to the Reber property
and Mrs. Backus has been clinging to
her home in the face of impending
dispossesston.
For thirty years tax buyers have
grasped the Reber property at each
delinquent tax sale. In those years
the residence, with its site, was ac-
cepted as a good risk by tax buyers.
AS years went by and the aged owner
clung persistently to her abode, even
in defiance of law, the tax buyers
abandoned It as bad proposition.

days ago he finished an engagement
at the more hazardous of his two oc-

Denver to make another effort to find
the boy.
When he asked for the custody of
the child he suggested test to prove
that he was the boys father. He
stood, with several other men, outside
the home and the boy was taken to
window and asked if he recognized
