WASHINGTON, u. c., September z
So many Americans have applied TO the

that in order 20 answer such applications
promptly the Minister has been obliged
10 have recourse to a printed circular
which reads as follows: The legation
Is in receipt Of numerous inquiries
whether the Japanese government intends
20 employ foreign subjects or citizens IN
any capacity during the present war with
| china. either IN active military service
| or as surgeons, or In any other employ
ments directly or indirectly. connected
with the war. While approaching the
| friendly sentiments which have caused so
! many persons to seek TO enter the SER

I regret that | can only return negative
replv 10 such inquiries. The various INES
Of service TO which they refer have been

| in successful operation, and. consequently
| nj this juncture the japanese government
| does not feel under the necessity or en-
ploylng any persons IN addition to those

IT is generally supposed that mining
is the most hazardous of all pursuits,
but recent statistics go to show that
it is really safer than railroading.
These figures are to the effect that in
1892 there was but one fatal accident

one to every 153 in the coal mines,
whereas there was one man killed for
every 800 men employed and one man
Injured to every % in the railroad

HEREAFTER, for the first time in the
history of the country, the Stars and
Stripes viii float over the national cap
itol every day, whether congress is in
Eession or not, provision to that effect
having been inserted in the sundry

for this new departure is due to Sena-

KIDNAPPED HI. Frlend,s wlEs.


Chattanooga, Aug. 15.-For seven mis-
erable. despairing days Henry Gentry,
farmer living near Lookout Mountain,
has sat at home and mourned for tho
loss of his wife, believing her faithless.
Today she staggered across the thres-
hold of their home and fell fainting at
his feet. Then when she regained con-
sciousness, she told this story: Gentry
had friend named Tom Massengale;
Massengale loved Mrs. Gentry, but kept
his passion so we'll that even the woman
did not suspect it. She often took long
strolls with him, to which her husband
did not object, believing her true, but
one week ago today she started down
the road for walk with Massengale,
who is one of the rapid youths of the
vicinity and we'll known in Chattanooga.
She seemed gayer than usual, and he
thought his chance had come. He dared
her. to follow him wherever he went
She accepted the challenge, and no
finally brought her to the mouth of a
cave in the mountain side. She hesi-
tated, but entered, and then in the semi
darkness he seized and bound her and
has kept her there ever since, bringing
her food and hoping to get out of the
country with her before being discov-
cred. But she escaped last night and
appeared as stated before her husband
today, a shadow of her former self. Gem
try at once came to town and got war
rant for Massengale's arrest
