LITTLE EFFORT TO DEFEAT CROMER

Delegates to Eighth District Republican Convention Selected Tuesday. MANY ARE MUCH ELATED. THE MANNER IN WHICH CROMER DEFEATED THOSE MEN WHO BOLTED THE TICKET CAUSES ENEMIES TO LIKE HIM. Primaries will he held in Delaware county Tuesday to elect delegates to the Eighth District Republican Convention awl to the state convention. Reports received here today indicate that very little effort is being made to defeat ex-Congressman George V. Cromer of Muncie. Since he won out in the convention at which tho district was reorganized his opponents in Delaware County have realized that he occupied a winning position. It in said that many Republicans in the district who never have had a high regard for Cromer are secretly dated over the defeat he administered to the members of his party who boltel the ticket in the last state election. It will he a big surprise to 1he party leaders if Cromer does not secure all of tho delegates in his own county. His followers are in the saddle in the other counties, but they have not indicated whom they will support for the congressional nomination. Tho Madison County Committee has indorsed the candidacy of A. II. Vestal, of Anderson, indicating that the county will have no other candidate. Vestal, however, has not elected any delegates, and it is conceded that he will not be able 10 land the nomination unless Cromer and his followers support him. The situation is one of the most interesting in the state, and no one neems to be able to predict the outcome, as Cromer has not intimated to any one what course he will purflue. THE CITY IN BRIEF

Tnt This bathroom in Japau was a tiny nnd nt i. hv A fonf cars n -writpi in Craftsman. in it were lour oojects, a k stool to sit upon when washing oneself before getting into the bath, a shining brass wash basin, a wooden pail and dipper in which to fetch the bath water and the tub. The tub, like most private baths, was round, casket shaped and made of white wood. It was perhaps thirty inches in diameter and twenty-Beveu inches high. A copper funnel or tube passing through the bottom went up inside close to the edge. This, filled with lighted charcoal, supplied heat for the water. The pipe was higher than the tub, so the water could not leak Inside. A few transverse bars of wood fitted into grooves and formed a protection so the bather could kneel in the tub without coming in contact with the hot pipe. The walls of the room were of white wood, with a pretty grain; the floor of pine, laid ' with a slight slope and grooved so the ( water might flow into a gutter and through a bamboo pipe to the yard. Amoon snapea lattice window uign up let in air and light. As a provision for more ventilation the two outside walls for a foot below the ceiling were tice of bamboo slats. As my eye traveled from object to object I quickly sized up the cost for the tub, 8 yen, and it would last indefinitely; 2 yen for the brass basin, BO sen for the pail and dipper and 25 sen for the stool. Eleven yen would fit up my bathroom, and I asked for nothing nicer. The Skin and Liquids. The skin has a remarkable power of absorbing liquids brought into contact with it. Fluids so taken up are In part detained locally and In part enter the tiny vessels (blood and lymph) that lead to the large blood vessels. In the days of long ago blood baths were used, but their employment was founded on ignorance. The most important constituents of blood cannot pass through the skin unless they have been ; previously treated chemically. I.otions of blood so prepared are iu the j present day used by some beauty lov- I rs. Milk baths are more in agree-' ment with science and common sense.

EEKJ;rjrS3 Here is a novel game for Leap I Y'ear. It consists of couplets with a bow of ribbon opposite each. The game is to send it, not one, but all couplets, on one sheet to a gentleman to test his regard for you. As the verses indicate, he is to send back to the girl the bow which must accurately express his regard for her. It is bad form' to sign a name to the missive and that is the fun of it. The young man is supposed to guess from whom it is. Of course he may send back the bow to the wrong girl, but tJiat is his lookout. If he hasn't intuition enough to answer to the right girl he Is a ! poor prospect. But that is still more fun. The directions are as follows: lat-';Fill in the blank line with the verses j given below, tint the outline bows wjta water colors or crayons.

OEA OF WAR IS 100 HELLISH SAYS JAP AMBASSADOR

Baron Takahira States That, Thoughts of Conflict With! America in His Home Country Are Dec;d2Dly Foreign. NOTHING BUT GOOD WILL TOWARD AMERICA Man of Ordinary Sanity Cannot Think of Conflict Between Such Good Friends As America and Japan. New York. Feb. 17.- Declaring that war between the l.'niied States and Japan would be " the most Inhuman event in the world's history," and was "too hellish" to be thought of. Uaron Koporo Tahahira. the new JapaneM? Ambassador to Wa.hinston, tabl upon landj ins in New York from th steamer j Etruria that the Ja panose people know i absolutely nothing uf a break in the cordial relations which have bctn historic between the two nations. Talk of war, Baron Tal ahira declared, was utterly unintelligible to hint unless, as some one has suggested, it was spread broadcast to serve the commercial ends of some newspaper men. The new Ambassador said that there might be some mattet 5 pending in uashiufcton which would require his attention, but they were not serious. As to the cruise of the American fleet to the Pacific ocean he regarded it as purely a naval maneuver on a graud scale, designed to show the world at large that America had a wonderful naval power, which can be dispatched anywhere at a moment's notice "In support of a legitimate cause, which always is at the bottom of American diplomacy." Baron Takahira left for Washington today to present his credentials to President Roosevelt. The Baron is returning to the American capital af er an absence of two years spent in; Rome as Ambassador to Italy. The Baron left Washington as minister, and was subsequently lifted to the rank of ambassador. He" was one of Japan's Envoys at the Portsmouth peace conference. His Return a Triumph. "I am pleased to come back to this fAtinirv in mi r rflofin no o f oitsl iwarou latvauua. 10 a reprebemauve oi the Associated Press. "I started m diplomatic career as an attache at our legation in Washington some iio years ago, aud I always have regarded that city as my cradle. Now I am going back there as the personal representative of the Japanese Emperor, accredited to the President of the United States, aud I think I can consider it as a triumphal entry into that city. t Friendly Relations Unchanged. "I know there were Borne questions arising after I left about the segregation of Japanese children in some of the schools of the Pacific coast and of Japanese immigration. I cannot, of course, tell you at this moment who 1 will have to deal with or what remains to require my attention at Washington. Yet I tell you that In spite of all the excitement and speculation report-1 ed from time to time in the newspapers there has never been any change In the attitude of the Japanese government toward this country. "As to the. voyage of the American fleet to the Pacific, so much talked of recently, I regard it purely as an American affair. I hear there has been all sorts of speculation as to the moverments of such a voyage, but I always thought that the most reasonable one we ca nattribute is a naval maneuver on a grand scale. The United States is a country of the most pacific intentions, as has been well proved by history. As we say in our proverb, 'Don't forget war in time of peace, it must be necessary, even for such a ; great country as this to ascertain now i and then the working capacity of its j ships and the good discipline of Its j men. You will certainly learn a great ' deal from such a long cruise by such a large force. No Cause for Suspicion. "The ships have not only gone to the Pacific coast, but have passed through South American waters, and if there ; is anything in the movements that con- j slitute3 a demonstration it must be aj demonstration to the world a large in j order to show that the United States', has such great power that can r sent j out any moment iu snpltort of a legit-j imaie cause, which always is at the j foundation of American diplomacy. We have no case to be suspicious about the j visit of the ships to the Pacific. i "Tho Japanese newspapers havw ben , publishing lately their decree or de - cisiou 10 welcome your fle-et if it should come to Japan.
