ancient custom as final tribute tc
their departed Emperor and friend.
Mutsuhito.
The death by their own hands of the
famous general and his wife was as
dramatic as it was sad. The general
cut his throat with a short sword and
the countess committed hari-kari.
Following the Samurai custom, the
couple had carefully prepared their
plans for killing themselves and timed
them SO that they would be coincident
with the departure forever from Toxic
of the dead emperor.
Gen. Nogi and the countess had at
tended the funeral services of Nut
suhito at the palace here today, and
it was expected that they would pro-
ceed to Aoyama tonight with the cor
tege. Instead, however, at the. con-
clusion of the ceremony at the palace
they withdrew to their modest home in
Akasaka, suburb of Toxic, and there
began their final preparations for
death.
First the general wrote letter to
his. new emperor, Yoshihito, which
later was found beside his body. Then
he draped in mourning portrait of
the late emporer, which hung on the
wall, and afterwards he and his wife
dressed themselves in full Japaneses
costume and drank farewell cup of
sake from cups which had been pre-
sented to the general by Mutsuhito.
Waited for Signal Gun.
Darkness had fallen and Gen. Nogi
and the countess sat and awaited the
signal they had agreed upon to an
nounce their leave-taking. This was
the booming of signal gun on the
palace grounds at Toxic, which was
to let the people know that the body
of the emperor was starting on the
funeral car for it's last resting place.
AS the boom of the gun resounded
through the clear, still night, Gen.
Nogi arose, and grasping in his hand
a. short sword, plunged it. into his
throat, while the countess stabbed
herself through the body. A student,
who resided in the Nogi home, heard
the fall of the bodies and rushed into
the room. Lying upon the floor were
the hero of Port Arthur and his wife.
Both still were breathing but their
spasmodic gasps showed plainly that
death was near. The student hurried
for aid. but when he returned with it
both the general and the countess
were dead.
The tragedy created profound SEN
sation and expressions Of sorrow were
! nGdrO on every HollO tpiil2hI. GSpN-
cially grief-stricken was Prince Ar
thur. cf Connaugat the special envoy
to the funeral of Mdtsuhito, of Great
Britain. Prince Arthur was to have
gone with Gen. Nogi tomorrow to the
former capital of the Shogunate, Kan
akura.
Those who knew Gen. Nogi we'll de-
clared that his calmness in killing
himself tonight was the kind of stoi-
cism he always had displayed, no mat
ter what crisis faced him. They in
stanced the famous charge of the ia
panese up 2O3-metre Hill during the
Russo-Japanese war, when, as com

 This live wire manual would attract instant attention from the fact that it's foreword is by no less a parsonage than Hiram Percy Maxim, who gen erously and frankly declares his ob- ligation to the author for business hints that proved invaluable. His praise of Mir. Hoyt as an accurate keen analyst and really big adver- Using and sales director, prepares one for the practical far seeing ideas in the chapters which follow.

 The book bristles with business axioms and hints which are informing and suggestive for readers who never expect to be in trade, Mir. Hoyt han ding his subject in big way opening ones eyes to the generalship requisite to manage a modern business house, distance competitors and keep large or small army of salesmen alert, working in harmony, and ever at the very ton of effort
 Geographically, the volume is at tractiVe, yet practical.

EsTABRooK STABLE FOR DENVER
Hope of String csnters in the Year
 ling Estarado.

Having enjoyed and proited by their stay in the blue grass country the racing stable of George H. Estabrook now is on the way to Denver, to spend the winter on the mile high track. Mir Estabrook is firmly convinced that Denver is better winter training camp than Memphis or any of the southern points, the rarified air having a good effect on the lungs of the ami mals. There are 10 horses in the lot, headed by Colorado E. 2.04 S-4, which horse is expected to do something to the stallion record next year. Colorado E. showed a lot of lick in some of his work this year. and it was expected that he would go against the record, but for some reason which has not been made clear he did not start Zarrine, POT 14. the fastest four year old of the year, Is in fine order after her hard campaign. and has a fine chance to shine in her class next year.
 Estarado, the yearling by Colorado E. out of Dorothy Axworthy, is the hope of the stable for the two-year- old futurities of 1913. in which he is named. This colt showed great speed An the early spring. and Is as far ad- vanced as any yearling in the country. Ehere is a weanling in the lot by Col etado D., out of Erirange. by Prodi- gal. and she is being sent along to be trained by the Maceys. The Wan derer, 2.0S 1-4, winner of the Michigan stake at the fair in Detroit, will again he trained and driven by the Maceys, Q new lease having been made of this fast gelding. k
 Others in the stable are Mckinney Mac, with yearling record of 2.27 3-4, and a three-year-od trial of 2.10 IA; Gold Dollar, 2.06 1-4, Soralto. Tulita and the Ideal Lady, which were brought east last spring. Rellas a green pac- ing mare, bought about a month ago, is a new member of the stable. She worked in 2.06 and looks like a stake candidate. One of the recent additions to the list of prominent stallions in Kentucky is Sidney Dillon, sire of Lou Dillon, etc. His owner has made an arrangement whereby the horse will make the season at Elmwood farm. under the management of Jake and Rodes Estill.
 George B. Hayes has seven wean- lings by Siliko at the breeders track , at Lexington, Ky, and they are a fine looking bunch. They have a smooth way of going and are uniform in color and conformation, being out of some of the best mares at Hamburg Place. At the farm it Is thought that Nancy Hanks Is with fea1, the old mare hav- ing been bred to. Slliko in the spring. Under the original agreement the stables recently occupied by Henry Bchmulbach will revert to Senator Jo- sept w. Bailey, Mir. Schmulbach hay ing decided to retire. It Is understood that the Schmulbach horses are to be sold at auction this winter His stall lion, Directum Spier. sire of Joan. was bred by D. J. Campau at Crosse Pointe and sold when a yearling.

A PRoFlT-TAKING DAY.
Traders Realize on Sharp Advances in
 Prices During Past Week.

New York, Dec. 22.-Y esterday was profit taking day in the stock market. The sharp advances which occurred during the latter days of the week af- forded an opportunity for realizing which naturally was taken advantage of by traders in the half day session. In addition to the opportunity which was presented by the rise in prices were the favorable conditions report ed from abroad and a generally op- timiStic tone which prevailed among traders. These conditions as whole prevented serious reactions and all lowed the market to absorb the offer ings without bringing about a general decline in the list ot importance. The buying power evidenced stimulated bullish activity in the first hour and the market retained a firm tone, eS- pecially in Union Pacific, which in the early trading led in strength and ac- tivity. In the latter end of the ses- sion there was some depression, which showed it's effect on Reading, said to be due to the reports of the attorney generals intention to carry on further litigation against the anthracite roads, Southern Pacific was also weak and closed with a comparatively heavy loss on the days trading Some of the specials were strong, while several of the rails made gains. The selling, in addition to such profit taking as was warranted by the recent advance, was probably influenced to some extent by the expected decision on Monday in the Minnesota rate case. Many traders deemed it advisable to retire from ac- tive participation in the market, not deeming it wise to be left with com mitments in the event of an unfavor- able finding by the supreme court. The more cheerful view of the Continental situation abroad was shown by the firm London market and general im- provement in the tone of trading on the Continental bourses.

 TO OLYMPIC BOXING.
Would Bar the Sport from List-5erlin
 Stadium to Cost $800,000.

Stockholm, Saturday, Dec. 1.-The general secretary of the Olympic games to be held in Berlin in 1916. MT. Diem, has been spending some time in Stockholm to gather information from the Swedish committee which conduct ed the successful meeting of 1912. MT. Diem told the correspondent of The Associated Press that the German games will be conducted on the same lines as .were the Swedish. with one central body and different committees for various branches of sport.
 The stadium is Berlin, which Is nearing completion, will contain large running track surrounded by a cycling track. The running track will be 666 metres long and there will be plenty of room on the green inside for field sports. The Berlin stadium will cost sS00,00O.
 At the next Olympic congress Ger many will propose that fancy cycling and figure skating on in ice rink be added to the Olympic programme and will strongly oppose the inclusion of boxing. The Germans do not under stand boxing at all, said MT. Diem, and consider it barbarous sport Ger many probably will be opposed on this point by England, the United States, Sweden and Denmark nations which have favored boxing.

 EASTERN COLLEGES.
California Expected to Send Crews to
 Hudson Regatta.

Ithaca, x. Y, Dec. 22-That the University of California is getting ready to send crews to the intercolle- giate regatta on the Hudson is believed from q visit here this week of Arthur Eaton, captain of the 1913 varsity eight pared shell of that university.

He is now at Columbia, where he will study Coach Rices system, and will visit other eastern colleges before re- turning to the coast,
