That there were objections In the so
cial amenities of life in the tenth cen
tury similar to those observable at the
present day is shown in a remarkable
book. "Mnkura no Zushi," which wus
the work of Sel Shon^ou, a poetess of
the aiu'ieut Japanese court. One of her
chapters she devotes to "Detestable
Things," and these included:
"A visitor wn • siis uowu 10 rcK»ie
you with n long tale when .von ure lu a
hurry. If bv chance tie is uu intimate
friend you can puck liiiu off untit uu
other time. Hut those whom you can
uot summarily dismiss ure detestable
indeed.
"Babies who cry or dogs thut bark
just when you sue trying lo overhear
something.
"A »log th.:t barks :it visitors. I have
often wanted to kill such dogs.
"People who interrupt your story to
show off their own cle\ ernes*. All In
terrupters. young and old. are very de
testable.
"People who when you are telling a
story break in with 'Oh. I know,' and
give quite a different version from
your own.
"Either at home or In the palace to
be roused up to receive an unwelcome
visitor in order to avoid whom you
have been pretending lo be asleep."

UELIKVE MAN IN
JAIL IS ASSASSN
OKI KNOWS WHO IS
Douglas—Wttti,lo the law presume
that every man is innocent until
proven guilty, there is a general be
lief here that the man Againsky, ars
rested in Juneau yesterday in, cau
nec'lou witlii the murder of "Babe"
Brown at this placo Wednesday of
'his week, could explain tlio mys
terv surrounding) the Worrible af
fair if he so desired. It Is reason
ed here that ** Againsky was tlie
husband of the woman as he is
said to have stated, he would have
b«?n one ocf the first to appear an.
fhe acen0 after'the report of the
murder was circulated. The fact
that he never cams near, although!
in Juneau all the time, is taken
as Indicating that he was aware of
whaf had1 taken place before the
afiajr was known by others.
Also, there is little doubt hut
that the man wh'o "Babe" Brown,
fold one of tho witnesses before the
corouer's jury was her husband, w-'^
seen here the evening previous to
the murder and that ho visited his
w'fe that night, another woman
claiming to h"-ve seen, him enter the
house at about 4 o'clock Wednesday
morning which would, be about nine
hours before tbe dead and badly
mutilated bedy cf the woman was
found.
It is further believed here that
the woman was following1 the life
she was leading with the consent
and co-operation of lier husband
and t'>at he was oractically hcT hus
iuess manager and took charge of
her earnings regardless of the fact
'.n*1 ho was infatuated with her—
mui .1 more so, the evidence showed
—U an she with him. Iu fact, one
wi'ness testified *lia.t "Babe" Brown
told oer she had no use for her
husband and had tried to "shake"
him.
It was apparent luring the hear
ing before the coroner that Jennie
Miller, the dead woman's most in
timate friend, was concealing infor
mation that she should have given,
and probably would have given, had
she no* feared the consequences.
While it is not believed the Miller
woman was a party to the crime in
any way, indication^ are that she
knows something that, if revealed,
would tend to go far toward con
victing the guilty narty.
The body, which has not yet been
washed, is still he'd by order of
the court, at Sully3' undertaking
parlors. It lias been carerujjy ex
amined bv Dr. Sargeant, city physi
cian f Douglas, and by Dr. Mali on o
of Juneau, the latter ma-king a min
ute examination of the various
wounds yesterday afternoon. Pho
tographs of the body from various
angles have also been taken both by
Ed. Andrews of Douglas and WinteT
& Pond of Juneau. As soon as the
court. instructs, ♦ha body will be
prepared and buried.
Many bersons have called at the
undertaking i>arlors and requested
to see the body which requests
have been deaiicd cxcept to those
whom it is supposed would throw
some light oni> the matter.
As one direct result of the mur
der, of the woman, some radical
changes will soon be made in the
restricted district. The cribs Will
be done away with, and, if the w-o
men are uermitted to remain ak
all they will be compelled to occu
py what js termed' "oarlor houses"
where a number of them will be
under the same rOof instead of be
ing isolated as at present.
