General NOgi and His wife Com.
nit Suicide.
FINAL TRIBUTE TO EMPEROR
Hero Of Port Arthur and Spouse Emf
Their Lives Because of Grief
Over Death Of Mr*ado.

Toxic, Sept. 14.-Gcneral Count
Maresuke Nogi. supreme military cou
cillor of the empire, and his wife, the
Countess Nogi, committed suicide in
accordance with the ancient Japanese
custom as a final tribute TO their de-
parted emperor and friend, Mutsu
hito.
The death by their own hands of
the famous general and his wife was
as dramatic as II was sad.
The general cut his throat with a
mitted harikari.
Following the Samurai custom the
couple had carefully prepared their
plans for killing themselves and timed
them so that they would be coinrident
with the departure forever from Toxic
Of the dead emperor.
General Nogi and the countess had
attended the funeral services OF Nut
suhito at the palace here and 1t was
expected that they would proceed to
Aoyama with the cortege. Instead,
however, at the conclusion of the cere-
mony at the palace they withdrew to
their modest home in Akasaka, a sub
urb of Toxic, and there began their
final preparations for death.
Those who knew General Nogi well
declared that his calmness in killing
himself was the kind of stoicism he
always had displayed, no matter what
crisis faced him. They i~nstanced the
famous charge Of the Japanese up 2O3
Meter hill during the Russo-Japanese
war, when as commander of the Japa-
nese third army Nogi saw the Rus.

The Dorr Rebellion

A correct history OF the SO called
Dorr Rebellion, A. d, 1912. In 1870
when Samuel Ward King was elected
Governor of Rhode Island. The condi-
tions of the suffrage in that state
were peculiar. The right to vote was
still based on the charter of
Charles Second, and was limited TO
possessors OF a certain amount OF
real estate and TO their eldest sons
This Limitation had the effect of de
barring two-thirds of the citizens from
voting Ii was so obviously unjust
that very strong public sentiment
existed in favor of reform.
Thomas Wilson Dorr although a
member OF the legislature was sec.
ond son and therefore among the dis
franehised He led movement in
favor of the adoption of move liher-
al constitution, but this was unsue'
cessful He then organized suffrage
party in the year that Samuel Ward
King was elected governor. Two
years later King was reelected gov
ernor, but at at the same time the
suffrage party chose Dorr.
King himself favored reform. but
insisted that he was rtghtful governor
under the constitution and when
DORIS supporters took mp arms KING
regarded this as rebellion against the
lawful government He proclaimed
martial law and called out the state
troops. DORIS attempt 10 seize the
state arsenal at Providence was pre-
vented The excitement continued TO
Increase and Governor King apepaled
10 the national government, which
recognized him as the lawful magis-
thate At Chepachet near the Con
necticut line on Saturday. June 20,
1912 a last attempt al arms resistance
was made by the Dorrites. IL was
unsuccessful, and Dorr realizing that
his position was hopeless told his
army TO dispense. He left the state
going up TO Captain and Sherin
George Warren who was proprietor
of the famous Warren tavern on now
Putnam Heights. Dorr stopped one
night, leaving Sunday the goth. Gov
