Q Osteen A Oo'l JAPAN IN TRAINING. The Donghtr Ocean Empire Prepar? ing For the Fray With Raaala. "Japan has increased hor fighting ca? pacity both in land and naval forces, with a secrecy baffling the astuteness of even Russia's diplomats. Notice this fact, which appears to hove escaped the ob? servation of 'our special correspondent.' The records of the diet since its opening in 1890 prove that the existence of a cabinet in Japan was exceedingly brief, unless, indeed, a crisis threatened the nation. Under such circumstances there is no more unanimous body of men than Japan's legislature, although, in order to stifle suspicion, discussions are in order, addressed 'to the gallery.' If a cabinet is forced to resign, the premiership has in variubly passed into the hands of a dif? ferent clan. "Observe now that when Ito stepped out his place was taken by Field Marshal Yamagata, who, with Ito, belongs to the Cboshiu clan. There was no need for tbe services of that old wily diplomat. Marquis Ito, to check Russia. The man for the hour was Yamagata, the expe? rienced organizer of armies, whose effi? ciency had been tested. Nor did the diet indulge in its usual tirades against Count Matsukata, personally an unpopular man with the hierarchy, but the foremost financier, and whose services as such were imperatively demanded. Japan needed well drilled, well equipped ar? mies without the world being any the wiser, and Yamagata undertook to fur? nish them. Matsukata was to provide the necessary money and no doubt has completed his work. As soon as Yama? gata resigns and is succeeded by Mar? quis Ito it will be a token that hostilities are imminent. Under no other circum? stances will Ito be called upon to take the helm. "Japan has recently placed several loans in England. Her minister to Lon? don, Mr. Kato Takeaki, is on a visit home and recently delivered an address upon England of so complimentary a tenor as to suggest that further favors in a pecuniary direction will be highly ac? ceptable. The terms of the address caus? ed unqualified surprise, because, without any tangible reason, a strong anti-Eng? lish sentiment prevails. "Another fact, which has been passed over without attracting comment, is the recent promotion of Mr. Komura from the Japanese legation at Washington to that at St. Petersburg. The only Rus? sian diplomat who inspires feelings akin* to fear in Tokyo is Count Cassini, who, when representing the czar at Peking, with the great suavity deprived Japan of the fruits of all her victories and appro? priated them to his own country. \t will not cause any surprise if this most astute of diplomats were called- at any time to the foreign office at St. Petersburg, where his intimate knowledge of Japan. Korea and China will soon be of the greatest service. "It is scarcely necessary to mention that the Tsikishima, the largest and deadliest of sea monsters, is hurrying to join Japan's by no means despicable licet. The Fuji and the Yashimu, two huge bat? tleships, have been ready for some time. Almost every dockyard in England, Ger? many and France has been pressed into service to help loci ease Japan's navy. The United States contributed two cruisers, tbe Kosugi and the ChltOOO, Nor were the dockyards of Japan idle. All these ships are manned by crews to whom no command will be more cheering than that of 'Clear for action!' Every man of them has been taught and knows that Japan's discomfiture in tlu- retrocession of Port Arthur and the Liao Tong pen? insula was the work of this foe, and such knowledge will nerve the muscle and steel the heart."?R. van Bergen in Ainslee's Magazine. A Trank of Colna. A trunk belonging to Charles Lenz of Butte City, Mon., bulged open the other mor.iing in the Union station baggage room und leaked dimes and nickels. Lenz, who was boarding a train for Vandalia, Ills., was told of the mishap. "That's all right," he said. "Never mind the money. I've got to catch this train to see mother before starting for Cape Nome." Mean? while John R. Rent ley. general baggage agent for the Pennsylvania lines, guarded tbe trunk and had it placed in the car. "You see," said Lenz, "I don't care about that trunk. It's full, of course, but the contents are only nickels and dimes. I'm interested in Montana mines. Out there everything costs a quarter. Every time I've received a nickel or n dime I've tossed the coin into the old trunk for mother." The trunk followed Lenz on the next train. It contained a fraction over $500, all in dimes and nickels, according to Mr. Bentley. Lenz certainly showed his faith in the honesty of the railway men, as he did not go near the trunk, but trust? ed everything to them.?St. Louis Re? public. The New Earl Ponlett. William Thomas Tumour, Viscount Hinton, who is to succeed to the title and estate of Earl Poulett, displacing the younger sou, by another wife, of the late extravagant curl, will not reside at Hin ton St. George, the family seat, but at Southsea, where he was born. That was the home of his mother, the pilot's daugh ter whom his noble father married to win u wager. "I shall help the poor all I can," says the viscount und prospective earl. "I will come down and spend my money among the needy. Having suffered pot erty myself, earning my living In the streets with my wife, I know how to sym pnthize with those who have neither no bility nor wealth." The late earl disowned his first son nut tried to squander the estate to prevent 'ts falling into the organ grinder's hands. The new earl will settle an annuity on his halt' brother.

Record. STEAMBOAT NAMES. An Explanation Why an Old Mia* aonrl Cmtoui Subsided. A Missourinn wan in Now York the other day for the first time. He is a retired business nail. lie never saw an ocean liner until his visit here. He was interested and asked mnny questions. The names of socio of the big boats pleas? ed him. "I am glad to see," he said, "that there is some sentiment in the business. I urn not n dreamer, but 1 sometimes think the age is too commercial. We oven name our children for somebody who is expected to do something for the honor. It has come to that in my state as well as in other states. We have few steamboats now on the Missouri rjver, but those few are named for individuals who presented a bell or a piano or a flag or something in consideration of their names having been painted on the wheel houses of the bouts. But it was not al? ways so. Then? was a time when we named our boats from sentiment. The same thing, I see, has governed the nam? ing of some of these big steamers, liners I believe you call them, and one I saw was pointed out to me as an ocean grey? hound. "One of the first steamboats I ever saw on the Missouri was named Highland Mary. That was 45 years ago. But I know the owner called his boat that just because the name struck his fancy. 1 don't suppose he ever heard of Bobby Burns. Polar Star was the name of a favorite packet, and her owner and cap? tain was a farmer named Tom Brierly. He had a farm in Buchanan county, 20 miles back from the river, and ho lived there in winter. He ran the Polar Star until she got too old to be safe, and then he built another and a finer boat and called it the Morning Star. But some? how that one was not as successful as the Polar Star, and it nearly broke Brier ly's heart, and he quit the river and re? tired to his farm. "One of the fastest boats on the .river was the Minnehaha. She took the horns for making the quickest time between St. Louis and St. Joe. It was some tim?, though, before the people of the river towns knew how to pronounce her name. Of course after the popularity of this boat somebody built the Hiawatha, but she was not the favorite the Minnehaha was and was soon transferred to the Mississippi trade. The Peerless was what her name indicated, and she beat the Minnehaha's time and took the horns. Wo had the Twilight, Cataract, War Eagle, Reindeer, White Cloud and Silver Heels. "Finally a company of St. Louis men built She James II. Lucas. The man for whom that boat was named was a mil? lionaire in St. Louis, and as the Lucas was the fastest boat of her time Mr. Lu? cas presented her with n piano and a lot of silverware. That was^the beginning of the breaking up of sentiment in steam? boat nomenclature on the Missouri. Mon? eyed men in the river towns invested in steamboat building, and the richest man in the town was usually selected to be? stow his name on the boat, and I never knew one who refused. Then they got to naming some of the boats for a town, nud the citizens in that case bought the presents, and they would patronize no other boat if they could help it."?New York Sun. ?Lost Diamond,*' a Baseball Tale. When nine little white boys lined up In front of the recorder at the police mat? inee, Judge Broyles scanned them over closely and said: "The officers tell me that your team has been using the middle of the street as a diamond. The officers say they had some trouble bagging you, as you always flipped off when they slipped on, and finally they were forced to catch you on the fly, as it were. Now, I am perfectly aware that the boys of Atlanta have the baseball fever and have it bad. Even the girls arc playing it, and I think the boys and the girls, too, if they have a mind to, ought to ploy ball. But play? ing ball in the street might result in fouling a window or forcing persons into the game while they walked along the coaching line on the sidewalk. Of course the people might walk around the block, but It would be bettor for you to get Into an old field." "We just can't get a"? began a small boy, the catcher on his nine, and the re? corder interrupted him with: "I'm at the bat now, sonny. I will give each of you boys a tip this time and let you make a home run. But thero won't be any three strikes and out the noxt time, but I'll count this the same as three strikes. Get a lot and play ball off the streets. If any boy is brought here again for this base thing, I'll make him pay a heavy fine or go out?to the stockade."?Atlanta Constitution. ?The Pneumonia Shirt." With his padded silk upper garment the Chinese minister goes about his so? cial duties and pleasures regardless of weather. The costume is odd in a gath? ering of "immaculate shirt fronts," >but it has its advantages. Minister Wu is not nt all envlo'ie. He has no hankering for the American full dress. At a gath? ering not long ago something was said in the minister's presence about a public man who had taken a heavy cold in go? ing home from an evening entertainment and who was laid up, with the prospect of serious complications. "Ah!" commented Minister Wu. sagely shaking his herd. "It Is not surprising. That pneumonic shirt did it." Ami now In Washington society the costume de rigUCUr passes by the minis? ter's description, "the pneumonia shirt." ~-St. Louis Ulobe-Democrat. Interrupted tin* Funeral. A street car conductor of Chicago the other day stopped a funeral procession In order to administer a threading to the driver of the hearse. The driver bed per- , nisten?ly refused to turn out of the tracks to allow the ear to pass, ami. upon being invited by the conductor to visit the ear barn in ordc to take a "licking" at some future time when both parties to the dis? pute should In? at leisure, he propoccd to settle the matter at once.

The Truth About the Sub? scription Sensation. Colombia, June 16 ?There is nat? urally e greet deal of interest taken here in the gubernatorial contest, which has already gotten to be quite lively There is no purpose to take any aides in the pending contest, but eimply to keep the record straight and to give lair play to certain of the candidates, are certain statements given. Mr E H. Aull, Gov McSweeney's private secretary, feels that as his paper and bis name have been brought into the campaign by name, by Mr Patterson, that he ie entitled to m?ke a ststement in connection with the matter, and here is what be has to say : "1 notice in the report of the Orangeburg meeting in the daily papers that Mr Patterson has a good deal to ssy about Gov McSweeney's subscribing for papers end paying the amount out of the contingent fund, and talks about it as if he made a greet discovery. There was no secret about it. A number of pspers were coming to the governor's office and, at the beginning of this year, at the direction of Gov McSweeney, I sent a request to all the papere in the State to send their pspers sod a bill to the executive office Mention was made of this in the daily pspere at the time, and the request was also published, and it was understood that the bill was to be paid out of the contingent fund and no intimation was given to the contrary. It hae been a custom for msny years, I think since 1876, for the executive office to subscribe for the papers and psy for tbem out of the contingent fund, and magazines bsve been tsken by other governors end psid for out of the contingent fund and so pub? lished. "But the governor's private secre? tary, who also happens to be an editor and the publisher of a paper, aud the president of the Press As? sociation, things whicu Mr Fattereon seems to hold in contempt, also got pay for bis psper Cettainly be did : 1 have been connected with the paper I now edit since 1885, end at that time the executive department was a subscriber and has been con? tinuously since, and the subscription has been paid every year by every governor during the past 15 years, and if by any accident ia an on guarded moment Mr Patterson should occupy the executive office 1 should expect the executive depart? ment to remain a subscriber, sod that the subscription would be psid out of the contingent fund 1 see no more reason tor not psying for the Herald end News thau any other psper, eimply becsuse the editor hap pens to be private secretary "This is very small business for a msn who sspiies to be the governor of the people of South Csrolins and demonstrates a very 6msll calibre "If Mr Patterson desires I will furnish him s list of the pspers end the smouot psid each.

The distress and discomforts experienced during the months preceding childbirth can be al? leviated only by external treatment?by applying a liniment that softens and re? laxes the over-strained muscles. We make and sell such a liniment, com? bining the ingredients in a manner hitherto unknown, and call it Mother s Friend We know that in thousands of cases it has proved more than a blessing to expectant mothers. It overcomes morn? ing sickness. It relieves the sense of tightness. Headaches cease, and dan? ger from Swollen, Hard and Rising Breasts is avoided. Labor itself is shortened and shorn of most of tbe pain. We know that many doctors recom? mend It, and we know that multitudes of women go to the drug stores and buy it because they are sure their physicians have no objections. We ask a trial just a fair test. There is no possible chance of Injury being the result, bc ca se Mother's Friend is scientific? ally compounded. It is sold at $i rfbot He, and should be used during most of the period of gestation, although great relief is experienced if used only a short time before childbirth. Send for our il?
