Tokio, Sept. i.--On Sunday a te> matlc chapter was written in the his­ tory of Japan. The assassination of llortlaro Abe, director of the political bureau of the Japanese foreign office, h&B inflamed the masses. Fifteen thousand persons gathered In mass meeting in Hibiya park, c&ll- tag for military action against China. A majority of these marched to the foreign office and clamored for admis­ sion. They demanded the dispatch of troops to China to taka such measures as were necessary to obtain satisfac­ tion for thg killing of Japanese at Nan­ king, or, failing this, the resignation of the minister of foreign affairs, Baron Nobuaki Makino. The speakers denounced the empti­ ness of Japanese diplomacy in connec­ tion with California and China, and in­ sisted the insult to the Japanese flag at Nanking should be wiped out. The manifestation was clearly an explosion of popular resentment against the min­ istry in its treatment of the California and Chinese questions. Profiting by the lessons of riots which followed the conclusion of peace betweA Russia and Japan, the govern­ ment reduced the risk of violence by refusing to allow a single soldier or policeman at the scene. The manifest- ants, many of whom were students, were orderly during the early part of tfce proceedings. • score of agitators.

Suddenly the cry to march on the foreign office was raised and there was pi general stampede, many persons barely escaping being crushed. The crowds surged through the streets, headed by the gesticulating leaders. Slid reached the foreign office to find file high iron gates were locked, t . Scores of the demonstrators pound­ ed on the gates and called for them to be opened, but In vain. The underoffl- dais refused. A delegation waB ap- , pointed, the members of which climbed the gates, and then ensued a long par­ ley. Meanwhile the crowd was cheerful but determined. It showered compli­ ments on a beautiful geisha gird strug­ gling by in a jinriksha, bat angrily •toned a photographer seeking to take snapshots of the chief delegate, who, # laving returned, mounted the portals to report progress. Perched unstead- Uy on the pickets he made a fantistic picture, and in harsh harangue de- v (dared the committee demanded either the dispatch of troops or the r retirement of the foreign minister, ^y... "We told the officials," he shouted, • -Syy *the voice of the people speaks, that (.the agitation will never end until our ;; *'• -demands are granted." The extraordinary situation contin- wed for five hours, the delegates , emerging periodically to pacify the orowd. Finally, when the discussion •tided, they reported Baron Makino bad promised to receive them Septem­ ber IE. This was greeted with howls Of derision and a thousand marched to the foreign minister's residence, three Exiles distant. Police, however, pre­ vented their near approach.

Washington, Sept 9.--Two phases of the Mexican situation attracted much attention In official circles Sun­ day. One was the published disclaimer of Nelson O'Shaughnessy, American charge d'affaires at Mexico City," that any positive assurances had been giv­ en him of the intention of Vlctorlaho Huerta not to (be a candidate in the approaching elections. The other was the receipt of private telegrams stating that Gen. Geronimo Trevino would be made minister Of war soon to succeed General Blanquet It had been generally supposed here that Trevino was ordered back to Mexico City by Huerta to be given the reins of the government as provisional president, while Huerta entered the presidential campaign. Washington officials have often .pointed out that they had relied only on the repeated emphasis by BYederico Gamboa, Mexican minister of foreign affairs, of the statement that Huerta was ineligible by the constitution to succeed himself. The state department announced Sunday night that shipments of dyna­ mite and other explosives needed for working the great mines In Mexico would he authorised as heretofore. It Is understood that President Wil­ son also will authorize the exportation of limited quantities of arms for Americans in Mexico to use for self- defense, but any such orders from the White House will be exceptional. In innumerable instances arms sent for the defense of Americans have been taken from them and used by both sides of the opposing Mexican factions. Vera Cruz, Sept. 9.--From the capi­ tal comes the prediction (that when congress convenes September 15 Gen­ eral Huerta will recommend a post­ ponement of the elections under a clause in the constitution, which pro­ vides that no electiona shall be held in case of a too-disturbed state of the country.

Coaticook, Sept 10.--Judge Mulvena on Monday, after hearing three wit­ nesses, dismissed the charge against William Travers Jerome, stating that he had not beqn held legally and that all Canadians regret the manner In which he had been treated. Jerome, in a brief speech, thanked the Canadian people for the way he had been received, and said he would not misinterpret, sentiment of the best Canadian people toward him by the action of a few who instigated his ar­ rest Only three witnesses were exam­ ined when the judge decided that there was no case and acquitted the defendant. Jerome, surrounded by a heavy guard of policemen, went to the court prepared to go on trial. A mob of angry citizens of Coaticook followed him.* In addition to Jerome's personal guard, many policemen were stationed in the courtroom and about the corri­ dors of the courthouse.' The authorities 'plainly feared an outbreak by the inflamed Coaticook people, because they believe Jerome 1b to escape punishment through the intercession of the highest officials of Canada. \ The appearance here of Jacob Nicol, crown prosecutor of this district, as an attorney for the defense of Jerome plainly irritated Coaticook folks, and as the hour of the trial was reached the threats toward the New York prosecutor became more loud. Jerome waB hissed by a body of men and women who had just finished cheering Thaw, the Matteawan fugi­ tive, who is still held here In the de­ tention room of the immigration de­ partment. The police promptly stopped the demonstration against the lawyer. The escaped Matteawan fugitive be­ lieves his ultimate liberty was never freer *from obstacles than it Is to­ day. Counsel for the slayer of Stan­ ford White plan to make bitter at­ tacks on the Canadian immigration laws. The first attack will come on the particular section of the law which provides that only Canadians have the right to plead to the courts against de­ portation decisions. This will be car­ ried, the Thaw lawyers say, to the privy council in England, ii necessary. SOCIETY WOMAN FOUND DEAD Body of Mrs. W. B.

The pimples on the child's face were at first small watery blisters, just a small blotch on the skin. She kept scratching at thlB until in a few days. her whole cheeks were fiery red color and instead of the little blisters the skin was cracked and scaly looking and seemed to itch and burn very, much. * "We used a number of remedies which seemed to give relief for a short time then leave her face worse than ever. Finally we got a cake of Cuti- cura Soap and a box of (juticura Oint­ ment. I washed the child's face with very warm water and Cutioura Soap, then applied the Cuticura Ointment very lightly. After doing this about three times a day the itching and burning seemed entirely gone in two days' time. Inside of two weeks' time, her face seemed well. That was eight, months ago and there has been no re­ turn of the trouble." (Signed) Mrs.. A. K. Wooden, Nov. 4, 1912. Cuticura Soap, and Ointment sold throughout the world.

But if she rocks in little nervous jerks, tapping her feet down at short and irregular Intervals, it signifies that there are unmade beds behind her and stacks of unwashed dishes and dusty fioors.-- Atchison Globe. 3" THE DOCTOR'S GIFT Food Worth Its Weight In GeAjfc . We usually expect the doctor to put ns on some kind of penance and give ns bitter medicines. A Penn. doctor brought a patient something entirely different and the results are truly interesting. ".Two years hgo," writes this pa­ rent, "I was a frequent victim of acute indigestion and biliousness, being al­ lowed to eat very few thiigs. One day, our family doctor brought me a small package, saying he had found some­ thing for me to eat "He said it was a food called Grape- Nuts and even as its golden color might suggest it was worth its weight y in gold. I was sick and tired, trying one thing after another to no avail, but consented to try this new food. "Well! It surpassed my doctor's fondest anticipation and every day since then I have blessed the good doctor and the inventor of Grape-. Nuts. , ̂ "I noticed improvement at once and • In a month's time my former spells of v.>y£ indigestion had disappeared. In two>vM|]L months I felt like a new man.
