A correspondent of the "Figaro" (Paris) states that when Mme. Sada Yacco, the famous Japanese actress, received the news of tho assassination of Prince Ito at Mito, where she was playing with her troupe, she burst into tears. "In my frequent quarrels with my husband," the actress said, "we sometimes asked Prince Ito to judge between us. One day, when we had a more than usually violent dispute at Chigasaki, the Prince came in unexpectedly, and I asked him to decide on the question. But he declined, while proposing the following solution: "Go down into tho garden, both of you, and fight it out like wrestlers. The one that wins will naturally be the one who is in the right." No sooner said than done! In a trice Kawakami and I were in wrestline trim. My husband was just recovering from a serious illness, and, being very weak, I soon threw him to the ground. Thig amused the Princo enormously.
