The Terrible Japs.
"We are wire the eminent chief of
tff of the American army and the
officers who serve under him will
raise their hands in holy horror
when they learn of the latest charge
which the -Russians are making
against the Japs. This is nothing
less than that the soldiers of the
mikado are in the, habit of going
into battle with terrible cuises on
their lips 1
Noue less acute will be the hor
ror experienced by the man who
liow occupies the office which
carries with it the technical com
mand of the army and navy, and
who figured .somewhat prominently
. . 'it O 1 7.- tin r
who has served on terms of in
tiiuacy with the flower of American
citizenship as represented in the
famous Rough Riders can fail to
appreciate the seriousness of .the
Japanese transgression against the
rules and practices of war in its
present high state of development
if these Russian charges are
true. V
It becomes more and more ap
parent that theA Japanese are very
rude' ' persons rifr this : war game,
Vmay be mvitines of peace. .Their
acuon in- aurcjuug mac umu

officers commanding the czar's ships
' and the men upon them were not
.looking, was bad enough; but that
soldiers, should actually swear is
really beyond the limit

AMERICAN PROGRESSION.
The secret of nearly every American suc
cess is, of course, directly due to American
superiority, but the great underlying cause of
this degree of perfection is " progressiveness. "
As a notable instance, the recent interna
tional riflle match in England, for the l'alma
trophy, stands out supreme. Here the Amer
ican Rifle Team was pitted against the best
picked marksmen of the world and they came
away victorious. As a disinterested write in
the London Saturday -Review sayst The
success of the Americans in the Palma com
petition, at Bisley, was due in the main to the
perfection, we may say the excessive perfection
of their weapon." The eye of the winner
sighted along a Stevens Pope barrel to fire the
champion bullets. The J, Stevens Arms &
Tool Co., of Chicopce Falls, Mass., are
naturally proud of the result. This shows
the 'mark of American progression in the
matter of firearms, and in which the Stevens"
products x have again shown . themselves
leaders.
Lately the "Stevens" people have been
educating the fathers of the country to eauiD
their sons with some sort of firearms and
teach them its 'uses and abuses, and in this
movement they have the commendation and
support of prominent educators the country
over. - .'

ACCOMODATIONS AT WORLD'S FAIR
Are Good Prices of Board and Lodging
Not Advanced but are Reasonable.
Washington, t. C.
I met one of theofncers of the World's
Fair the other day and asked him about hotel
accommodations and the prevailing prices and
". he said to met :
World's Fair vuitors naturally wish to
.. ascectaiu, before starting . for St. Ixuis,
whether they will have difficulty in securing
lodging and whether the cost of living has
been increased to exhorbitant, figures. 4 The
assertion may cause surprise, but it is not less
true, that the cost of food and lodging is
scarcely any greater than under normal con
ditions. The visitor who exercises ordinary
prudence will manage to get good quarters at
low rates. The hotels and rooming houses
can accommodate 300,000 guests, without
crowding, and they . offer good accommoda
tions. The prices for rooms are from 50
cents a day up. Excellent lodging may be
. secured., at $1 - s day.. Meals cost from 25
cents up. The average price of f meal
ingle order 4n the better hotels is 50 cents,
and in aome of the better restaurants a good
meal can be obtained for 35 cents. Meals
' ' cost whatever the guests desire to pay for
them. The coat necessarily depends on the
pane and the fancy. Tha World's - Fair
Bureau has directed the accommodations
problem systematically, and has thereby
succeeded in regulating the capacity to the
' demand and the prices tolhe advantage of all
