A NEEDLESS SACRIFICE.

Though Mutsuhito, the dead en-
peror Of Japan, ranked as a highly
progressive monarch, as compared
with his predecessors upon the throne
of the Flowery Kingdom, yet the Gus
toms that have marked the burial Of
dead rulers Of that land, as handed
down out of the cbsurity Of the dark
ages, prevailed when the mortal re-
mains of Mutsuhito were inferred at
Monoyama last week.
Most striking of these, most awful
in its gloom and tragedy. was the
suicide of General Marezunk Nogi
and his wife, the countess Nogi, as
the funeral of the dead emperor was
about to occur.
The self-sacrifice of General Nogi
and his devoted wife may be regarded
as a noble tribute to the departed
emperor. That their beloved chief
night not make the long journey to
the land Of the unfa, hOmed mystery
unattended, the general and his wife
went as a willing sacrifice to bear
the spirit of Mutsuhito company.
1t was indeed a sublime act But,
had japan really achieved the pro-
'gress for which she has striven under
Mutsuhito's rule, Japanese of Nogi's
intelligence and general ability
would have come e'er now to realize
that such an act would be a needless
and shocking sacrifice. General
.Nogi was the hero of the most
notable victories won by Japan in her
war with Russia. He possessed rare
military genius. Yet he was bound
by the shackles of ignorance and
superstition, else he would not have
been willing to deprive his country
thus Of his own services. Had he
been imbued with rue modern ideas
of progress, he would have realized
that the truest service which he
might have rendered his dead chief
would have been to serve the latter's
son, the new mikado, with the same
zeal and loyalty that he had given to
Mutsuhito, and to devote his life to
the further up-building Of the coun-
try which the dead mikado loved and
served so faithfully.

The Bull Fights.

The fearlessness Of MERGED Gomez
and the reckless way in which he
played with the fourth bull, nearly
causing the death of this young man,
formed one of the most exciting fea-
lures of the bull fights at the Plaza
de Toros in Matamoros yesterday af-
ternoon. The bull was a powerful
beast, a notified black, with large,
spreading horns and quick Of foot.
He pommeled the horses TO right and
left, and tossed both horses and
picadores about with the greatest
ease.
Gomez did brilliant work with the
capa. He had no fear of the infuri-
ated animal. Diana after diana was
rendered him. When the banderillos
had finished their part of the per-
Torrance and the gorgeous Colored
banderillas were hanging from either
side OF the bulls neck, Gomez, with
muleta and sword. stepped in front
Of the box Of the ~presidente, and of
IClCu lh6 dAlhlol W NC HhN ~ ~
all the people in the bull ring.
Then. tossing his cap into the
grand stand. and bidding his com
Ipanions % leave. he walked calmly
muleta in the animals face, and the
combat was on.
After some dashing stunts with
the muleta, the matador made two
unsuccessful attempts to place the
steel. The third thrust, however.
was a life-taker. Clear TO the hilt
he drove the steel into the animals
body. Gomez did not recover quick
ly enough after delivering the stroke
and in a second the bull was upon
him. The maddened animal first
hooked him in the left groin, but
the horn did not enter the body. The
man was tossed about four feet up in
the air. He fell to the ground, and
before he could get away the bull at
tackled him again. This time the
animal hooked the young fighter in
the left breast. throwing him lightly
over the side of his head. tearing his
clothes and inflicting a bruise about
six inches long and three inches
wide. Gomez, realinzing that he had
not been seriously injured. waved
aside the attendants, who had run
TO his rescue, and insisted upon kill
ing the bull. 1t was a foolhardy
thing, for 1t was plain that the wind
had been knocked out of him. Yet
he insisted. and stood before the big
black beast. weak and breathing
with much effort. 0 the least cowed
after being so roughly handled. IF
anything. he was more fearless than
before. He asked for a short sword
and walked calmly toward the ball
Taking aim. he drove the weapon
into the bulls brain. and the animal
fell dead.
II was found upon examination
that Gomez was only bruised. 1t was
a narrow escape.

TO RIGHT BUILDING MISTAKES
Washington Smart Set Find That
Their Homes Are Not suited for

The aim OF smart society at Wash
ington is to make of the nations cap
ital a spring resort for the ultra-fash-
ionable set 1t seems that the change
is only retarded by the mistakes Of
those wealthy citizens who in max
ing homes there in the past decade,
built too much house and allowed too
little ground for garden purposes
l4euceforth the two will be combined
with architectural and landscape pre-
cision.
Washington until three or four
wears ago was not considered tit
place to live in beyond the second
" eek after Easter Strangely enough
several ~asidents confessed their mis-.
take. admitting that they had not re
mained behind after that time. but
had merely accepted the popular ira,
dition of society on that score. AS a
result. considering Washington essen
tally winter resort, homes were con.
structed accordingly, and the plans
were built for inside space in winter
and none whatever outside for warm
weather,
owing, therefore, to these errors Of
the past. Washington residents are re.
,arded in their aims and desires to
transform Washington into a spring
resort, to which the city itself lends
atmosphere with its wide streets

set is compelled TO turn TO the near

ton 10 give garden parties and lawn

tendency TO keep AT Washington over
the spring time those who would
otherwise shift to other cities.

Womans rights from brand new

be seen at the Grand on Thursday,
April nth. This comedy is from the
pen of the talented young author peiia
Clarke and while she is not in any
sense suffragette but is in every way
a womanly woman, she believes hrm-
ly that the weaker sex is weak merely
through an implied term and not so
much MS matter of fact.
In her new play Miss Clarke has
shown the wife as the source OF sue
cess and income Of the Nichol family.
Herein shows the novel manner Of
Miss Clarkes handling Of the situa-
tion for it is all done in a manner that
does not lessen the audiences respect
for the husband nor yet place him IN
the position Of dependent upon his
wife.
Introduce Me" finds George Niehol
as AM unsuccessful author hut his wife,
under the name Of Francis Merton,
has writteu several books that have
made her famous as well as giving the
family fine income, The husband
does not even know his wife has writ
ten the books; she has kept Il secret
from him. letting him believe an old
aunt is giving her an allowance.
In an adriot and intensely interest
ING way Miss Clarke has developed
her story so that the element OF sus-
pense is sustained to the very drop
OF the last curtain. She has worked
in little details OF domestic infelictV
that always did come about Just to
have the 'making-up" all the sweeter'
In the end she has established the
husband III a secure position Of manly
dignity and independence. but she has
not failed to show that women have
rights in this world and are Of value
and Importance. And it might also be
said that Introduce Me- appeals as
strongly to men as to women and Il
was Just made for women.
