Change On T., P.&. W. Railroad Will Break Pontiac Connection At Forrest.

The most authentic information ob­tainable is to tlie effect that the change of time on tlie T., P. & W. railroad will go into effect on Sunday, May 15th. The principal and only material change will be in the time of the west bound evening passenger which will be about 45 minutes later. The change is to be made to enable th cT ., P. & W. to be a direct con­necting route from New York, and the evening t rain will run through from Logansport, Ind., after connections with a Unified train from New York city. The equipment of the train will probably be improved. The change will work a hardship for Chatsworth people in regard to getting to Pontiac as tiie only manner they now have is via Forrest or Fairbury on this train, which after the change, will not make connections witlythe Pontiac train at the above places, unless the Wabash train waits for the connection, and it has not been announced that it will.

The big dor­mitory, which housed more than 100 students, the members of the faculty and a number of servants, was the last building to catch fire and all escaped without danger, having time to save their personal effects.

WORKING ON THE PLATFORM.

Washington, May 4.—The platform to be adopted by the republican na­tional convention has been among the topics discussed at the conferences which have taken place recently at the white house, in committee rooms at the capitol and at different resi­dences where a number of republicans have been assembled. Senator Lodge, who is slated for chairman of the com­mittee on resolutions at the conven­tion, has' prepared preliminary sketches of various topics that he thinks should he treated and has sub­mitted them to senators and others for their approval or suggestion as to amendment. It Is expected that be­fore the convention meets a complete platform will be prepared which will have the approval of the president.

The principal feature of the plat­form will be the tariff plank, which will declare in the strongest terms the adherence of the republican party to the principles of protection, but will not bind tne party not to revise the tariff. It will say that the party is not committed to any schedule, but that changes should be made only when changed conditions of business or the treasury render it necessary or advis­able. Persons present at the recent conferences say it already has been agreed that the tariff will be revised in the Fifty ninth congress if the re­publicans win in November.

There is at present a determination to make the platform as brief as pos­sible, consequently the indorsement of the administration and the acts of the party will be put in compact form. This indorsement will be a general ap­proval of the course of the president and of the actions of the republicans in congress.

“Sir,” the answer ran, “with reference to the advertisement in the Times re­specting a school assistant, I beg to state that I should be happy to fill that situa­tion, but as most of my friends reside in London, and not knowing how far Homerand Virgil is from town, I beg to state that I should not like to engage to teach ths classics farther than Hammersmith or Furnhara Green, or at the very utmost distance, farther than Brentford. ’

Washington, May 4.—"Even at the risk of being accused of declining that which 1 probably could not get. if I de­sired it, I answer most unequivocally that if the nomination were tendered to me I would not accept it under any cir­cumstances whatever.” Thus strongly did Speaker Cannon in aji authorized interview with a Post reporter Tuesday emphasize his determination with ref­erence to the vice presidency. As he concluded dictating what he had to say. the speaker added; “If there Is any lan­guage which can be more decisive, write It in."

“What are your reasons for such a statement?” he was asked, and replied:

“I have been for almost 30 years a member of the national house of repre­sentatives. I may say my life work has been in connection with legislation in the house. I have been renominated by the republicans of the congressional dis­trict in which I reside, and have ac­cepted the nomination. I have every reason to hope I shall be reelected."

“If the republicans have a majority in the next house of represen tat Ives,” he con­tinued, “of which in my judgment there is no reasonable doubt. I will be a candi­date to succeed myself as streaker. If, perchance, however, tfie republicans

should not have a majority in the next house. I will take my place on the floor and give the best service it Is in my power to give to the minority. In my judg­ment I can do better service in my ca­pacity as a member of the house of rep­resentatives than I can do elsewhere.’’

“ D e a r M r s . P i n k h a m : — Gradual loss of strength and nerve force told me something was radically wrong with me. I hftd severe shooting pains throught the pelvic organs, cramps and extreme irritation com­pelled me to seek medical advice.

B y EDW IN J .W E B IT E K

W ILLIA^l, the tramp, was seated on a little bank by tne side of

the highway under the shade of a big elm. The day was warm, but not un­comfortably hot; he was eating a fru­gal yet satisfying lunch of bread and cheese, and nearby ran a brook from ■which he could quench his thirst when he had finished eating. Whenever he might tire of rural life, the railroad was only a short distance away, he could jump on a freight train and be quickly carried free of charge to the city. William, the tramp, was content­ed with his lot. But as his glance fell on a little cottage up the road, a vague

t unrest filled his heart. A young moth­er followed by a child clinging to her skirts had Just come out of the cot­tage and was feeding the hens and ducks who flocked at her call. Near the house a man was plowing. He also heard the young housewife’s call, and looking up from the furrow, threw her a kiss.

"Must be sort of nice, after all, to have a home, and a wife, and a baby like that fellow’s got,” thought Wil­liam, the tramp, regretfully. “Used to

H E C O NTINUED HIS WALK, think I would have one myself. But I guess I’d better give up that Idea.”

He brushed away the crumbs of bread and resumed his journey. At the next farmhouse he stopped and asked the woman who came to the door to give him something to eat. William was not hungry, but he might be be­fore nightfall, so It was the part of a prudent man to try and lay In a sup­ply of food. Even If he did not care to eat then, he could put it In his pocket.

But the woman called him a big, lazy tramp, and slammed the door In his face.

This did not worry William. He al­ways expected a certain number of re­fusals during the course of a day. but like many other tramps In this big land had found that he was seldom forced to the unpleasant alternative of either working or going to sleep hungry. So whistling cheerily he continued his walk.

As he neared the curve of the road, William heard the thudding sound of horses' hoofs. To his experienced ear the galloping sounded louder yet more uneven than that common to an ordi­nary team of horses on a country road.

“Either that fellow Is driving mighty fast or It Is a runaway,” he soliloquized. And he hurried around the curve In the road.

Down the highway, swaying from Bide to side In their mad gallop, came

a team of horses, drawing a wagonwhich bounded up and down over the rough road, threatening each second to turn over. William's first Instinct was to stand in safety at one side and let the frightened team pass. Then he no­ticed that a little girl was clinging In white-faced terror to the seat of th' wagon.

For a moment he hesitated. To try to stop the team was to risk his life. Then the tramp gave a second glance at the frightened child, little more than a baby, on the seat of the wagon. He drew a long breath and ran In the di­rection of the team. Unless they were stopped before they reached the curve the wagon would be hurled into the ditch.

When a few yards distant from the runaway team William whirled around and began racing with them. As the horses caught up to him. he hurled his body forward, his hands shot out, he gripped the reins firmly. He was dragged from bis feet.

But now the long and varied experi­ence of the tramp In catching fast freights stood him In good stead. As the horses plunged forward he only clung the tighter. Nearer and nearer to the curVe drew the team. But even frenzied horses cannot run with 170 pounds of sturdy humanity hanging from the bits. Little by little they slowed down, yntll at last, with a few final, fierce tugs, William brought them to a standstill little more than a yard from the ditch at the curve of the road. And now that the danger was over, the little girl, who had been clinging to the seat, broke Into tearful sobs.

The owner of the farmhouse from which William had Just been scornfully driven had seen the galloping team and was running to William’s assistance. His wife, who had Just turned William away, was hurrying behind him. The farmer’s face grew a little pale as ho saw how near the ditch the team had been halted.

“It’s our Minnie,” he said to his wife. "I never could have got there In ftme. She would have been killed If this brave man hadn't stopped the horses at the risk of his own life.”

“And I Just refused him something to eat,” replied the woman, with a big sob In her voice as she helped the child down from the wagon.

The farmer looked hard at William. He had a deep-rooted dislike to tramps. But this one seemed different from the others.

“Can't you leave the life you’re lead­ing and come on my farm?” he in­quired In tones far more cordial than William was accustomed to hearing. “I’ll give you good wages, and the place will be a permanent one. It won’t be long before a young man-like you will have a home of his own, and per­haps a wife and child like the one you saved to-day. You're too good a man to be on the road. And you will find It grows harder and harder each year. By and by your strength will be gone, or you will miss your grip catching a freight some night, and then all that will be left for you will be the poor- house or the morgue."

William, the tramp, could feel his heart beating quicker. The vision of the little cottage with a wife and home of his own was drawing very close to him. Perhaps, after all— Then he looked down the long highway, border­ed by green, arching trees In which the birds were singing. The smoke from a distant freight train floated lazily over the tree tops. At the sight a vague feeling of unrest stirred his pulse. The love of the careless, wanderlqg, reck­less life, banished for a moment, re­turned with renewed force. Arcady was calling her child, and the undefined call thrilled his heartstrings. William, the tramp, shook his head with a sigh.

“No, I can’t do It,” said he. “Some­how the love of the road Is In my bones and I’m bound to go back to It. even If It does mean what you say In the end.”

And turning away, William, the tramp, walked rapidly In the direction of the drifting smoke. He had heard the call of Arcady and answered It. For though the end thereof was death, the path was very pleasant—N. Y. Times.

BAD TELEPHONE MANNERS.

Dignified Matron Who Has a Just Complaint to Make—Inexcusable

Curtness Over the Wire.

A dignified matron who has a couple of debutantea in her family com­plained the other day that the “phone”

j was conducive to bad manners, reportsthe Chicago Tribune.

”1 do not think I can be accused of being uiiprogresslve,” she said, “but

never shall become accustom^dx to telephone manners. This Is what hap­pens to me about every hour In the day:

familiar ‘Hello’ I respond, ‘Hello,’ and he begins;

“ ‘Who Is this?’“ ‘Who Is this?’ There Is something

so abrupt In this form of question that I feel like making an explanation that will not only be considered satisfac­tory but final, but having identified myself to the young man’s satisfac­tion he proceeds:

“ ’Oh, this is Mrs. B.! Well, Mrs. B.,I want to see Miss H. Will you tell Miss H. I want to speak to her?’

“He does not apologize, seldom says ’Thank you,’ and never by accident says ’Please,' and allows me to hunt all over the house for the one he wants; sometimes grows impudent when I can't find her, and seems to Ignore the rights of every one but himself.”

Age of Utility.According to the director of the mint

the coins of Greece In the fourth cen­tury B. C. are regarded as more beau­tiful than any made to-day. Why can­not we have as beautiful coins? Be­cause we desire “low relief,” that Is, figures which will not come out higher than the edges, so that our coins will stack. Moreover, the modern coin loses less by abrasion than the ancient. Thus the Interests of beauty and util­ity stand In conflict, and this is a practical age.

NEW W ESTERN INDUSTRY. BOOM FOR JAPANESE SONGS

Chinese Wood Oil to Be a Product of the California Coast

Region.

Created by Sympathy of the American People for the Japs at War

with Russia.

Wood oil Is rapidly becoming an Im­portant article of export In China, ac­cording to L. S. Wilcox, United States consul general at Hankau, during last season there having been more than11.890.000 worth of It shipped from that port, says the New York Post. Prevl- )us to 1899, when the attention of the United States Importers was called to its valuable properties, only three small shipments had been made from here to the United States. Now two United States firms have located branches here for the purpose of exporting wood oil. One of the firms deals exclusively In this article and It has shipped nearly 200,- 000 gallons since last fall. Previous to 1900 the oil was shipped to Europe In considerable quantities.

The value of the oil Is due to Its as­tringent and drying qualities and It Is used In varnish for the finer klndB of furniture. There are two kinds of this oil—one yellow, the other a dark color. Only the former has been exported, be­ing considered of a higher quality than the latter. It Is also reported that In Europe It Is used in making soaps. The price of the yellow variety during the past season has varied from $4.92 to $6.95 per picul (133 1-3 pounds). The oil Is brought to Hankau in bamboo baskets lined with oil paper, each basket con­taining about one picul of oil. The great difficulty of obtaining barrels to export the oil Is a serious drawback, as no barrels are manufactured In any of the provinces where the oil tree grows, for this reason an American firm at Hankau has Imported from New York shocks for 5,000 barrels and machinery for setting them up.

Last year a request was received from California for 1,000 seeds of the oil tree. They are planted and are growing fine­ly. The same parties last fall requested4.000 more seeds and arrangements have been made to secure and ship them. As the oil finds a ready market the In­troduction of these trees Into various parts of the United States will be a source of revenue to their owners.

To Obtain Power.The demand for Industrial power U

leading to remote and unexpected places and to unexpected methods. The scheme of the French engineers to obtain some50.000 horse sower from water fal’ing Into the Dead sea is based on' the fact that the level of that body is more than 1,500 feet lower than that of the Medi­terranean and Red seas, and on the prob­ability that the enormous evaporation— 6,000.000 tons a day—would prevent any appreciable rise In level from water turned Into the depressed basin. Of three projected routes for a canal to supply the water, It Is believed the cheap­est would he one starting at Akaba, in the Red sea, and passing through the desert of Wady-el-Jebel.

THE DREAMER.BY JOHN WICXLIFFE GRAY.

“Tho war In the far ’Cast,” said the music publisher, according to the New York Sun, “is making itself felt even In our business.

“Of course, we have not caught the war fever so badly as the newspapers and magazines, hut still the song writ­ers are beginning to desert the old homestead and are concocting lyrics about almond-eyed Japanese maidens.

The transition is easy, as all com­posers can palm ofT rejected Indian love songs, so popular the last year, and put Japanese titles to them. Still, there are Jap songs published, because there are hundreds of pretty lyrics from old Jap­anese comic operas that can be drawn upon.

“Not a single Russian lyric has come under my observation, and I think that gauges the popular pulse to be strongly pro-Japanese. Of course, Japan Is natur­ally attractive to the song writer, be­cause it Is the land of beauty and poetry, incense and geishas; but I hold the strange theory that Gilbert and Sullivan are partly responsible for our Jap sym­pathies.

“If It Is granted that even comic opera stagecraft will create a sympathetic at­mosphere, why, many Japanese operas that have followed ‘The Mlksdo’ have had some weight. Every one of theso hodge-podges has had poetic environ­ment, like a cherry blossom festival, and the public has remembered that at­mosphere when the caperlngs of the comedians have been forgotten.

“On the contrary, every play of Rus­sian life revolves around the clanking chains of frigid Siberia, the cruelty of the knout, Intrigue and Nihilism. Every one of these dramas of desolation has been an antl-Russlan document to the people of emotional tendencies. Op­posed to these, the serious Jap dramas, ‘A Japanese Nightingale' and the melo­dramatic ‘Darling of the Gods,’ have been girded with sympathetic stage­craft.

“Now, I have seen that the Inspired Russian press are Inveighing against the American newspapers for misrepre­senting them and fosWInga pro-Japan­ese sympathy. 1 hardly think thenews- pers will plead guilty to that charge, for they have but reflected public opinion j and prejudice.

“The Japanese nation has been blessed with theatrical press agents, and if the Russians wish to stent the tide they had better subsidize some of the playwrights who are now foraging on the free lunch of Broadway. I'll cheer­fully furnish them with a list of tong writers who will go to work now for a small consideration.”

The Pneumatic Boat.A boat large enough to carry six per­

sons may he carried In a valise or In a trunk. This is because the principle of the pneumatic tire has been applied with much success to boat building. Thege boats are of two kinds, either of rubber cloth Inflated with air and divided into two compartments, or of a series of In­flated tubes coiled lengthwise. These are fitted with pneumatic seats, and the oar­locks are buckled on tho sides. When de­flated they are reduced to the smallest conceivable weight and compass, and the process occupies only a few mo­vents.

Why He Wept.The $.'>0,000 school house had just gone

up in smoke, and the taxpayers In the i crowd looked at one another, and ; groaned, for the building was ir.sufll— j clently Insured. A small hoy gazing upon the smoldering ruin suddenly hurst into uproarious grief.

“Why, my little man,” exclaimed a sympathetic bystander, “you must have been very fond of your school!”

" ’Tisn’t that," howled the hoy; “but I left a nickel in my desk, and I’ll never be able to find It in all that mess!”—Wo­man’s Home Companion.

Hound Flees from Hare.A funny hare-and-hound story Is told

In an English paper. A very nervous puppy was being entered with a pack of harriers. 8he was alone when the hare came down the road In a tremen­dous hurry. The hound saw the hare, and bolted, and for some yards the novel sight was seen of a hound ap­parently being hunted by the hare.

Locating Guiana.Having returned from British Guiana

to England, Rev. Mr. Crookall, as he re­lates In hls hook on his missionary ex­periences, visited a public school to tell the children of the foreign land.

“Now, children,” he said “first of all. where Is British Guiana?”

A number of hands went up, and the missionary called upon the nearest pupil.

“On the map of the world, sir,” was the ready answer.—Youth’s Companion.

The wind was groaning Incessantly. Now and theu It grew to a piercing shriek, as It whirled snow under the eaves and In the corners cd the big bay window. It laid an Icy grasp on tbs frames and shook them angrily, en­viously, because It could not enter und destroy the scene of comfort within.

She was a Jewel of a landlady who would keep the fire burning for him so long, Herbert mused. "To keep the chill out.” Mrs Williams had told him once, and hls words of thanks did not fully convey hls gratitude for her mothering him.

He read hls own name ami address two or three times before he took out the sheets within.

"Round and firm, and—just like Mil­dred,” he mused.

He spread out the sheets on hls kites and read:

"Dear Herbert—We are having a glorious time trying to forget the snow and ice up north. The weather is per­fect, except for an occasional misty day, and outdoor amusements are ths rule with everybody.

”1 am glad to know that business will soon permit you to take a vaca­tion. Are you thinking of coming south? I know you must he, though, for there’s hardly anywhere else to go, now that everything up there is ice— and snow-bound.

“What do you think of Joining our party here at Palm Beach? We will remain here another week, when wo have planned an altogether original tour of either Jamaica or San Domingo on bicycles. All of us brought our wheels from home, and these suggested the trip. We have discarded the auto­mobile Idea because two or three ma­chines would he required for the nine of us, two In the crowd are Indifferent chauffeurs, and because we are not certain about the roads down there. Bicycles will go anywhere and we hava determined to use them, see the coun­try thoroughly and get a healthy trop­ical tan.

“Wire me If you can come. And If you can, be Sure to bring your bicycle It will be indispensable to a thorough­ly good time.

“Mary begs to be remembered to you. As ever, Mildred Halcomb.”

Then:“P. S.—Don’t forget tho bicycle.”The warm firelight was having Its

effect after coming In from the cold outer air. He was drowsy. An Invol­untary yawn showed two fine rows of teeth as he placed the letter on the table.

He and Mildred had been chums since childhood. They always cor­responded when one or the other was away. And in the past few months he had come to realize that he could not live without her. There had been no vows, hnt since as children they had roamed the parks together on their bright, new bicycles, they had been conscious (ft a mutual exhilara­tion and Joyousness In one another's presence. Yes, bicycles, and the Inti­mate companionship they bring, seemed strangely interwoven In their lives. '“ W e ’ll g o w h e e l i n g , w h e e l i n g , w h e e l i n g

D o w n t h e d i s t a n c e - d w i n d l i n g p ik e . H e a r t s a - f e e l t n g , f e e l i n g , f e e l i n g .

A ll t h e Joy t h a t a In a b ik e . "

He had heard the doggerel parody of a popular song somewhere, and ths lines continued to repeat themselves in drowsy fashion:" W e ’ll go w h e e l i n g , w h e e l i n g , w h e e l —”

Hls pipe fell from nerveless fingers. One foot slipped from the fender.

He and Mildred were resting on the sod beneath a towering palm tree. Not far off several people of their party were laughing and talking together He saw the surf come rolling in not 20 yards away, dwindling from mighty waves to a smooth, even flow as they reached the higher heath. Beshld them were their bicycles. Cries of strange birds were heard, and a bright plumaged fellow Ilew over their ltedds and fluttered away inland.

How beautiful Mildred was! She was looking straight kfito his eyes. And I d the big gray orbs he saw her soul shining there. It was shiutug for him. all for him! He knew it, and that was enough.

“You nre mine,” he was saying. “All these years I have loved you, and waited for you. And now we must part no more. Your life shall he my life, and mine shall he yours.”

Out of the distance he heard the chime of bells. One—two—throe—four —five—six—And still it rang.

The sleeper awoke with a start. Ths clock claimed hls attention first, for It was striking 12. He rose quickly, and as he did so a telegraph blank on the table caught hls eye.

“Better write It now and send the first thing In the morning,” ne thought

Rapidly hls pencil traced the words:“Miss Mildred Halcomb, Hotel ----- ,

Palm Beach, Fla —Be there Thursday with bicycle. Herbert.”

London, May 4.—The Chefoo corre­spondent of the Daily Chronicle cables the following under yesterday's^ (Tuesday) date: “The Japaneselanded troops and attacked and cap­tured Newchwang last evening, the Russians falling back to protect the j railway." ■<

Five Days of Fighting.Toltlo, May 2.— After five clays of fight­

ing, largely with artillery, the first Japanese army under tlen. Kuroki, lias forced a crossing of the Yalu river, and on Sunday, with a gallant infantry charge covering a frontage of four miles, it drove the Russians from Chiutien- cheng and the heights on the right bank of the Iho or Aida river, which enters the Yalu from the north almost opposite Wiju. The Japanese turned the left Bank of the Russian position, and In the battle of Sunday they swept away the new front interposed by the Russians to check their onward movement. The present position of the Japanese is a

/ dominating one, and they may force the abandonment of the defenses erected by the Russians at Antung and other points lower down the river.

St. Petersburg Electrified.6t. Petersburg, May 4.—St. Petersburg

is electrified by the sensational news of fighting on land and sea. From Gen. Kuropatkin, conveying Lieut. Gen. Za6- salitch’s report, came graphic details of the battle of Turenchen, as the combat on the banks of the Yalu is officially des­ignated. which show the savage charac­ter of the fighting displayed by the Rus­sians in their effort to hold a position commanded by the Japanese and their orderly retreat to Fengwangcheng, where they are now entrenched, conduct­ing on route a brilliant rear guard en­gagement, in which they inflicted heavy loss on the enemy.

Viceroy Alexieff’s command of Port Arthur has been signalized by the re­pulse of another desperate attempt by the Japanese to close the entrance to the harbor.

The appearance of a number of Jap­anese ships off Kaiping and Slniuchen, on the west coast of the Liaotung penin­sula, below Newchwang, forbodes the disembarkation of Japanese troops with the intention of cutting off Port Arthur.

Battle of Yalu Was Fierce.Important as was Alexleff's achieve­

ment. in spite of the magnitude of the at­tempt of the Japanese, who this time 6ent in ten fireships to block the Port Arthur entrance, it is dwarfed by the de­tails of the fighting on the Yalu, show­ing the severe losses suffered by the Rus­sians, who have removed 800 wounded alone to Fengwangcheng, while it is es­timated that the Japanese loss is be­tween 3,000 and 4,000. If this statement of the Japanese loss is correct, the Rus­sian authorities say that Gen. Zassa- litch must be given credit for carrying out that part of his orders to make the crossing of the Yalu as costly as possible to the enemy.

Russians Outnumbered.Unfortunately Zassalitch had only 10,-

000 men, of whom 2,000 were unable to participate in the fighting, as they were occupying Antung. and Gen. Kuroki. appreciating the inability of his op­ponent to bring up reserves, threw his weighty force upon the points selected for attack. The Japanese had from 35.- 000 to 40,000 men, besides the greater quantity of them being of heavier cali­ber than those of the Russians. Thus outnumbered the Russians actually en- 1 gaged more than five to one. The Jap­anese succeeded in flanking two Russian battalions on both sides and enveloping them in the rear. The latter, with music playing a martial air and with fixed bay­onets. a priest holding aloft a cross, charged, and the Japanese opened before them, after which they succeeded in reaching the supports. It was one-of the ! most gallant actions of a bloody day. li is regretted both in military and church ( circles that the priest was severely wounded.

Rear Guard Fights Nobly.Because of the weakness of the Rus­

sians. they were unable to hold their po­sitions. Enfiladed by the enemy's fire, men and horses began to fall, a few mounts only surviving. The men yet un­wounded sprang to the guns in an effort to remove them, but the mountainous rature of the country and the heavy roads prevented this, and the guns were aban­doned, their breech blocks being first removed. Three batteries thus lost their guns.

It is a cause of satisfaction to the au­thorities that in spite of the severe Rus­sian loss, Gen. Zassalitch had sufficient strength to sharply bite the pursuing en­emy, who lost 300 in this movement alone. The opinion here Is that this rear guard engagement was one of the most dramatic bits of fighting during the battle. Three times the RusisanB halted and twice the mikado's cavalry were burled back, only to come on again. A

third repulse sickened the fighting stom­ach of the assailants, who abandoned the effort to completely crush the re­treating force.

Japs Lose at Port Arthur.Port Arthur, May 4.—Another vi­

cious attempt was made by the Japan­ese Tuesday morning to block the en­trance to Port Arthur. At'a few min­utes before one o’clock the first shots were fired, awakening the town with their thunderous noise. The gunboats lying at the mouth of the harbor joined iu the cannonade of the bat­teries, the firing gradually increasing in volume until there'was a contin­uous crash of great guns. Some of the enemy's torpedo boats were dis­covered. but they were finally swal­lowed up in the darkness, and the batteries, and warships after 40 min­utes activity were again shrouded in gloom, though the flashing search­lights showed that the military were alive to the warning conveyed by tjie approach of Japanese ships. At 2:15 a second cannonade began, the heav­iest firing being directed to the left of Golden Hill, where the fireships were located. At about four o'clock the batteries ceased firing, save for an occasional shot.

A Magnificent Picture.Just about dawn the bark of the

rapid fire guns and the crackling of the mitrailleuse was heard from Gol­den Hill. Occasionally there were sounds of explosions as of mines going off. It was the enemy's ships striking on Russian torpedoes. At this hour a magnificent sea picture was formed by the soft light of the waning moon, the orange flashes of the guns, the signal rockets and the purple fires on the steel colored sea which were alternately lighting up and dying out. The fireships were ten in number and of about 3,000 tons each. It is reported that two Japan­ese torpedo boats were sunk, the re­mainder withdrawing in a damaged condition.

Eight Fireships Sunk.Eight fireships were sunk and very

few of their crewB were saved. Most of them were killed. In the morning many dead bodies were seen floating about outside the harbor. These were collected by the Russians, who brought them ashore and burled them. The vigilance of the men in the watch towers and on the guard boats was astonishing. To their keen eyes was due the prompt sighting of the enemy. This new attempt of the Japanese was on a much larger scale than any heretofore made, hut the moonlight aided in the discomfiture of the dis­covered enemy. The 'Japanese at­tacked brilliantly, without seeming to notice the murderous fire directed on them. It is stated tha* the crews of the fireships ir.cludt d a number of Japanese cadets, who showed extrao' dinary bravery, especially when the ships were sinking. Several of the crew sat on the topmasts firing their revolvers and then plunged into the sea. It is believed that hone of the cadets was saved. The attempt to close the mouth of the harbor failed.

Gives Satisfaction in London.London, May 3.—The latest dis­

patches received here, confirming the completeness of the Japanese victory on the Yalu. could hardly have given greater .satisfaction in Tokio than they have done in London The editorials in the morning papers ring with ad­miration at the success of Gen. Kuro- ki's strategy in a manner indicating that Great Britain had been in consid­erable doubt of the capacity of her ally's troops when matched against the Russians, and despite the lack by Ja­pan of good cavalry to follow up tier victory, it is believed that she will speedily drive the Russians out of Fenghuanehong also.

Another Russian Repulse.London, May 3.—The Japanese lega­

tion gave out Monday an official dispatch from the admiralty at Tokio, reporting an engagement between Japanese war­ships on the Yalu and Russian shore batteries. It reads as follows:

“The captain of the gunboat Maya reports that a flotilla consisting of the gunboats Maya and U.ti and some tor­pedo boats ascended the Yalu May 1, bombarding the enemy. While they were returning the enemy’s artillery suddenly attacked the torpedo boats. The latter silenced the enemy after a severe engagement lasting 30 minutes and the flotilla ail returned to Yongani- po. There were no casualties. Our armed launches reached Antung :l,e same morning and repulsed the enemy's Infantry and artillery after 30 minutes of sharp fighting. Fire was seen ris­ing from the town and a native Fays that the enemy fled from Antung after setting fire to it."

St, Louis, May 2.—Representing a larger expenditure than any similar en­terprise heretofore attempted on this continent, greater in Us ambition and wider in its scope than any previous ef­fort of its kind, the Louisiana Purchase exposition was formally opened Satur­day afternoon. The Inaugural exercises could hardly have been improved upon Extreme care had been taken in the ar­rangements of the day’s programme. Its length had been calculated to a nicety that all things might be finished at noon exactly, but as is usual in such cases, the programme dragged out be­yond Its expected time. It was arranged that President Roosevelt should press the button at exactly 12 o’clock, but when that hour arrived several of the addresses had not been completed. At approximately 12:15, St. Louis time, In order that his time might not be en­croached upon, the signal was given to President Roosevelt that all things were ready. His response was quick, and in a few seconds came the answering touch over the wire from the white house. This officially opened the exposition, but it was determined to conclude the pro­gramme. and the signal for the actual opening, for the unfurling of the flags, the ringing of hells and the operation of the great cascades was not given by Di­rector of Works Taylor until 1:04.

Ceremonies Begin.Promptly at the hour set the officers

and directors of the exposition, the members of the national commission and of the hoard of lady managers were gathered at the Administration building, where, as rapidly as possible, they were formed Into a procession and marched to the plaza of St. Louis. In the center of the grounds, where the formal exercises of the opening were conducted.

The participants in the exercises quickly took their places at the base of the Louisiana monument, where a small stand had been erected for the speakers 'and seats provided for the lis­teners. The assemblage was called to order without delay hv President D. R.

j Francis, of the exposition, who request­ed the audience to rise while Rev. Frank M. Gunsaulus, of Chicago, delivered the invocation.

Dr. Gunsaulus concluded his eloquent invocation with the Lord’s Prayer, in which the audience joined. President Francis, as the chief executive of the ex­position, then delivered his address.

Keys Presented to Francis.At the conclusion of his address Presi­

dent Francis recognized William H. Thompson, of the committee on grounds and buildings, who presented to Presi­dent Francis Isaac S. Taylor, the direc­tor of the works. Mr. Taylor delivered to President Francis the keys of the ex­position and presented diplomas of mer-

I It to the chiefs of his staff.Sing “Hymn of the West.”

ONE DOLLAR WHEAT.

Western Canada’s Wheat Fields Pro­duce It—Magnificent Yields—Free

Grants of Land to Settlers.

The returns of the Interior Depart­ment 8how that the movement of American farmers northward to Can­ada is each month affecting larger areas of the United States. Time was, says the Winnipeg Free Press, when the Dakotas, Minnesota and Iowa fur­nished the Dominion with the main bulk of its American contingent. Last year, however, forty-four states and districts were represented In the offi­cial statement as to the former resi­dence of Americans who had home­steads in Canada. The Dakotas still head the list, with 4,006 entries, Min­nesota being a close second with 3,887, but with the exception of Alabama and Mississippi and Delaware every state In the Union supplied settlers who, iu order to secure farms In thd fertile prairie country of Canada, became citizens of, and took the oath of al­legiance to, the Dominion. Last year no less than 11,841 American's entered for homestead lands in Canada.

From the Gulf to the Boundary, and from ocean to ocean, the trek to the Dominion goes on. Not only the wheatgrowers of the central Mississip­pi valley, but the ranchers of Texas and New Mexico, and the cultivators of the comparatively virgin soil of Ok­lahoma, are pouring towards the pro­ductive vacant lands of the Canadian North-West. It is no tentative, half­hearted departure for an alien coun­try that is manifested In this exodus; It has become almost a rush to secure possession of land which It Is feared, by those Imperfectly acquainted with the vast area of Canada's vacant lands, may all be acquired before they ar­rive. Tnere Is no element of specula­tion or experiment in the migration. The settlers have full information re­specting the soil, wealth, the farming methods, the laws, taxation and sys­tem of government of the country to which they are moving, and they real­ize that the opportunities offered In Canada are In every respect better and greater than those they have enjoyed in the land they are leaving.

Canada can well afford o welcome cordially every American farmer com­ing to the Dominion. There Is no question but that thase Immigrants make the most desirable settlers ob­tainable for the development of the prairie portion of the Dominion. Full information can be had from ahy au­thorized Canadian Government Agent whose address will be found elsewhere.

SOAKED IN COFFEEU n t i l Too Stiff to Bend Over.

When President Roosevelt touched the electric key at the white bouse in Washington, which set in motion the machinery of the world’B fair at St. Louis, he not only opened to the world the greatest display of the arts of peace the world has ever known, but he gave to the nation a fit climax of a century of growth of that vast territory west of the Mississippi—the Louisiana territory.

When, at the swing of a lever, 90,000 gallons of water per minute was re­leased to flow over the beautiful cas­cades in front of Festival hall, there was completed the most beautiful ex­position picture the world has ever seen, a picture that will live In the mind of every visitor to the great fair. Chicago had its Court of Honor, its Stately palaces set against a back­ground of the blue waters of Lake Michigan; Buffalo had Its wonderful illumination, its dusk of evening brightening into day again as the countless thousands of twinkling lights brought back the effect of the rising sun, but these pictures, beautiful as they were, have been surpassed by the glory of the cascades, the foaming wateTway, rushing downward from the colonnades surrounding Festival hall, to the great lagoons, with their myriad colors. Intersecting the wonderfully beautiful grounds In all directions.

Just as this newest of expositions

tioned the largest pipe organ ever man­ufactured, with 145 stops and pipes five feet in diameter and 32 feet long; four acres covered with agricultural machinery; the largest natatorium on earth; ten acres of roses; ten acres of live game; the largest engines ever built; a floral clock covering a quar­ter of an acre of ground, and of which the minute hand weighs over a ton. Such items but give the general idea of the entire fair. It is all big, it is ail beautiful, it is all Interesting.

The exposition management is not boasting of the “Pike." They wish the visiting public to remember the fair by what might be termed its legitimate portion, its wealth of educational ex­hibits, and yet, who would say that the Bhows along the ‘"Pike” are not edu­cational In their way. On It are vil­lages of every sort, and amusement features of every description. Five million square feet of entertainment. Among outdoor shows, that are not to be confounded with those of the "Pike,” may be mentioned the reproduction of the City of Jerusalem and the forty acres of Filipinos.

Among the most Interesting of the many features of the fair are the varl ous government exhibits housed In the Government building which Is 800 feet long by 250 feet wide. Every function of the government Is exem­plified In this building. Among these

She was not able to do her work and could not even mend clothes or do anything at all where she would have to bend forward. If she tried to do a little hard work she would get such pains that she would have to lie down for the rest of the day.

“I persuaded her at last to stop drinking coffee and try Postum Food Coffee and she did so and she has used Postum ever Bince; the result has been that she can now do her work, can sit for a whole day and mend anl can sew on the machine and she never feels the least bit of pain In her side In fact she has got well and it shows coffee was the cause of the whole trouble.

“I could also tell you about several other neighbors who h^ve been cured by quitting coffee and' using Postum In its place.” Kun« given by Postum oo>, Hsfauv v , , ,

surpasses all others In beauty, so, also, does It In size. One thousand two hun­dred and forty acres, literally covered with the treasures, the productions, the curiosities of .-.c world, tell the story of the fair In a sentence. No one vis­itor will ever see It all, though he spent the full lime the exposition Is open at the task. An exposition which cost ^50,000,000 before Its gates were opened to the public; an exposition to which 52 nations from all cor­ners of the world have sent their best for the people of the world to look upon; an exposition two miles long and one mile wide; an exposition that is twico the size of any other to which the public were invited; an ex­position that Is larger than the three previous large American expositions combined. Such Is the exposition with which St. Louis celebrates the centennial of the Louisiana purchase.

But the r.ien responsible for the ex­position do not wish that it should at­tract by Its size alone. They have bullded for beauty, as well as for big­ness, and who can stand In the center of the groat panorama without being aroused to a pitch of enthusiasm by the beauty that surrounds him? It is the beauty, rather than the size of the fair, that first appeals to him.

Another thing that appeals to the American, the man who loves his coun­try, is the sentiment the exposition stands for. It is a sentiment that is fully exemplified in the imposing he­roic statues of the states that stand on either side of Festival hall. These statues typify, not the states of the east, but those of the west, the states carved out of the Louisiana territory, the states that stretch from the gulf to the Canadian border, from the Mis­sissippi to Puget sound; states that have within a century of time been builded out of the wilderness. It is for these the exposition has been bulld- ed; It is these again that have made the exposition possible. The lesson they teach is written deep in the his­tory of the nation.

To attempt an Itemized description cf the wonders this expos.don has brought to the doors of the people of the central west Is impossible In the space of a newspaper article. Twelve thousand car loads of exhibits found space within the great palaces. It Is almost Impossible to realize what such a statement means until one has gone from building to building, from ex­hibit to exhibit. Nor is the space In the building wasted. Every niche Is filled fflth something of Interest, and the demand was for almost dduble the amount at the disposal of the author­ities.* Some Idea of this may be had from the statement that the breakfast food manufacturers alone asked for more space than would have filled all the Agricultural building, covering 19 acres of ground, and with four miles of aisles.

To pick even the more interesting ex­hibits Is almost an Impossibility, u ’gh among them might be men-

exhibits Is a complete government mint for the manufacture of coin, but at St. Louis Uncle Sam Is making In­stead of coin gold souvenir medals, but the process Is the same as If the product was legal tender. While Uncle Sam has a monopoly on the money­making business he guards the priv­ilege Jealously and does not risk the precious dies, which put their im­prints upon dimes, dollars and eagle3, to leave their place of keeping.

Besides a moaern coining press, from which drops a bright medal at every click, is a screw press built in 1795 and used at that time to stamp small coins. There is also a hammer 120 years old and a small pair of bal­ances formerly used in the Philadel­phia mint. Comparing these with the improvements made in the last 100 years reveals how much easier it is now for Uncle Sam to replenish his treasury than It was when he was young in the business.

All of the machines used in the plant are driven by independent direci current motors, ths power for which Is transformed from 050 volts to 220. The gas for all heating operations, such as annealing, melting, etc., is manufactured by an independent plant situated outside the building, and so arranged that It can be controlled in the exhibit. These machines were de­signed and built especially for this *purpose.

First of the series of devices com­posing the plant Is a furnace which supplies a heat of 2,000 degrees F. for the melting of metal alloys. Here the metal Is cast Into Ingots and washed in a dilute solution of sulphuric acid to free the surface from copper oxide. The Ingots are then run through the rolling mill and reduced In thickness frqm one-half an Inch to elghty-flve thousandths of an Inch. This mill Is operated by a 50 horse power motor.

After rolling the strips are heated in the annealing furnace to soften them for the cutter.

Processes used In the making of paper money are altogether different, for it Is here that the printer and not the machinist and founder serves a usefulness. In another section of the big Government building at the world’s fair there is a fully-equipped bank note printing plant.

In the Palace of Transportation may be seen a full size section of the great tunnel which runs from Jersey City under the Hudson river, under New York city at Thirty-fourth street, and under the East river to I,ong Island, a distance of eight miles. It Illustrates the tremendous work and millions of tlollars expended upon one of the greatest engineering works of modem times. A great laboratory for testing the power, efficiency and economy of locomotives Ib also in this building. Locomotives will be under full steam and full speed In this laboratory, the greatest show of locomotive testing ever conceived and costirg a quarter of a million dollars.

Host of the Ailments Peculiar to the Female Sex are Duo to Catarrh

of the Pelvic Organs.

Rachael J. Kembnll, M. D., 384 Virginia St., Buffalo, N. Y., is a

1 gra<l‘.,uteof the Uuiversityof Buffalo,1 class 1S84, and has been in the prae- i tiee of medicine in that city since then. She writes as follows :

“ My conviction, supported by experience, i s th a t P e ru n a is a valu­able preparation for all catarrhal affections. / have taken one bottle of P eruna m vseif and ju s t feel fine. I shall continue to take i t . ” -Rachael J . Kemball, M. D.

Peruna lias cured thousands of cases of female weakness. As a rule, how­ever,before Peruna is resorted toseveral oilier remedies have been tried in vain. A great many of the patients have taken local treatment, submitted themselves to surgical operations, and taken all sorts of doctor's stuff, without any result.

The reason of so many failures is the foetthat diseases peculiar to the fctnule

sex are not common­ly recognized ns be­ing caused by ca-

________ tarrli. These organsare lined by mucous membranes. Any raucous membrane is subject to catarrh.

Catarrh of one organ is exactly the same as catarrh of any other organ. What will cure catarrh of the head will also cure catarrh of the pelvic organs. Peruna cures these cases simply because It cures the catarrh.

Most of the women afflicted witli pel-

F e m a l r T r o u b l e A’o t B e c o f n l u d

n a C a t a r r h .

vie diseases have no idea that their trouble istlue to catarrlu The majority of the people think that catarrh is a dis­ease con lined to the head alone.

Tliis is not true. Catarrh is liable to attack any organ of the body; throat, bronchial tubes, lungs, stomach, kid­neys and especially the pelvic organs.

Many a woman bus made this dis­covery afteralong siegeof useless treat­ment. Nlie has made the discovery that her disease is catarrh, and that Peruna can he relied upon to cure catarrh wherever located.

I f you do not derive prompt amlsatis- factory.results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr Hartman, giving n full statement of your ense, a ml he will he pleased to give you his vuluable ad­vice gratis.
