BATTLEOF THE YALU.
1T WAS THE SECOND GREAT BATTLE
BETWEEN ARMORED SHIPS.

Japanese Skill in the Combat with the
Chinamen-Chinese Ships Fired Unload
ed shells-They Were Filled with Cement
Great Danger From Fires.
The battle of the Yalu was the Sec
ond great action which the world has
witnessed between modern ironclads.
The first was at LISA, far back in 1866,
when armored vessels were but in their
infancy. During the thirty years which
elapsed between this battle and the
Yalu wonderful progress had been
made in the construction of fighting
vessels; guns were heavier armor was
thicker and speed was greater. Yet the
advance had been achieved entirely on
theoretical grounds, naval constructors
were working in the dark, and no one
knew exactly how these complicated
floating masses of machinery would be-
have in real battle.
And here was a little Japanese, mod
est and unpretentious, who had helped,
at the risk of his life, to give the world
come of the experiences it stood so
greatly in need OF. Il was not fright
ened,' he said, to translate his broken
English into a more convenient mode
of expression, you see l had no time.
We were working hard while the bat
tie lasted, half the time there was such
q confusion l did not know where 1
was or what l was doing.
II was in the band on board the Ma
tushima, the ship that was in the thick
of all the fighting. but we did not get
much chance to play music during the
battle. 1t was in the morning, just
about dinner time, that we sighted the
Chinese, and we were at it all the rest
of the afternoon. | could not see much
for the smoke but our ship shook all
the time as the guns were fired, and
then a big shell burst into the battery,
throwing one of the guns over, and
killing the whole guns crew
Every soon we We're all of us at the
guns, firing away whenever We could
see the white sides of Chinese vessel
through the smoke. Down in the bat
terry we could not tell what was going
on; we did not even know when our
shots hit. But we knew when one of
the Chinese shells struck us for ii it
exploded the conclusion would almost
knock you down, and when the fumes
cleared away you would see bits Of hui
man bodies scattered all over the
place.
Luckily for us, a lot of the Chinese
shells were not loaded. We found one
afterward filled with cement, instead OF
powder. But the fires were awful. 1t
r seemed as if they broke out wherever
! there was any woodwork to burn. And
/ one big blaze down in the coal bunkers
, next the magazine nearly finished us
The fire got so strong that the bulk
head between the bunkers and the
magazine grew red hot, the flames
leaped through the crevces. and we
had to stuff our clothes into the cracks
,, to prevent the magazine catching"

The Dum-Dum Bullet.

The English found that the Lee
AetfOrd small-bore rifle bullet would
not stop the rush of the Indian hill
men. They therefore devised a bullet
whose soft lead point should expand,
Or "set up" thus making a decorating
wound.
The general conclusions appear to
be that at close range the bullet does
not "set up" but bores its hole like
any other proceeding with the same
velocity. At no range is its effect up
on encountering bone different from
that of other bullets, and the injury
produced is less than that from the
old large bore. At the longer ranges,
however, it does 'set up" and pro-
duces in traversing the soft parts a
decorating wound of severe type. AZ
ter setting up, moreover, fragments
break off, some of which are likely to
remain in the wound at dressing.

THEY ALL SAY So.
They Had Waited Long For IT,
But When It Came II DID
the Work.

1t had been all through the southern part
Of Vermont and New Hampshire and had
visited Rutland. Barre and Montpelier be-
fore it arrived at Burlington, VT When it
located in Burlington it created considerable
excitement, and the residents Of that city, like
every city and town along its route became
anxious and curious to know who would be-
next, as the testimony from representative
citizens was daily published in the local
papers. Week after week went by, and the
good people of Burlington settled down to-
tbs fac: that what their neighbors said must
be true that local testimony and statements
from people they knew must be reliable.
One whose testimony helped to push the
good work along in Burlington is well known
in that city. She can be depended upon to
answer any communication mailed TO her or
to corroborate personally what she says here.
We refer to Mrs. Elvira A. Johnson, OF II
North Champlain street. professional nurse,
having years and years of experience. Read
what she says You will then know what
Vermont and New Hampshire people waited
for and how one of them treated the stranger.
Mrs. Johnson says: IL was laid up with my
kidneys for some time. finally got SO bad
that every two or three days peculiar sick
ening, dizzy headaches confined me to my
room. At the same time | was racked with
sharp, shooting pains II l stopped, stralght-
ened myself from bending, or changed posi-
ton suddenly. Urinary troubles followed,
and placed myself in the hands OF Physi-
clans. They did nothing for me. l grew
worse instead of better. l was forbidden to
eat any starchy foods and, finally, in spite of
all my efforts l got into a serious con-
dition was taking medicine at the time

doing me a particle of good. | stopped
using it and took Doan's Kidney Pills instead
When l think of the change which took
place. when l compare my condition now
with what it was, it seems almost too good to
be true. My back has ceased to ache, the
headache no longer troubles me, and my
kidneys are working naturally. eat well
and sleep well, and l give all the credit to
Doan's Kidney Pills. l will be only toe

SECRETARY WILLIAM r. DAY.
A Canton, Ohio Judge Distinguished Law
yer and Statesman.


William r. Day was born at Raven
ma, o., April Is, 1S49. He was partly
educated in the public and high schools
and then entered the university of
Michigan at Ann Arbor, becoming a
member of the law and literary classes.
During a part of the time while at col
lege he was librarian of the law
library. He graduated when he had
reached his majority and almost imme-
diately began practice. Then he moved
to Canton, where he married and has
since resided. For nearly a quarter of
a century every act of his has been
subject to the widest public scrutiny.
He has lived in the sight of his fellow
citizens. They know of his beliefs, his
ambitions and the methods he has
taken to gain his ends When a Can
ton man tells you that Judge Day is
clean, he says it in manner which
convinces the hearer.
The distinguished lawyer and states
man came by his legal attachments
legitimately. Not only was his father
member of the supreme court Of
Ohio, but his maternal grandfather
was also on the supreme bench, a men,
Der of congress and an orator, and his
maternal great-grandfather was one Of
the supreme justices of Connecticut
and the author of "Swift's Digest" His
two elder sons are destined for the
same profession.
Judge Day is a ripe lawyer. He has
been always student and has been in
contest with some of the brightest le-
gal minds of the west. His manners
are quiet and agreeable. The Canton
people say OF him that while he is lit
tie slow in getting acquainted, the
longer one knows him the better he is
liked He is loyal to his friends and
his friends are loyal to him. This
quality OF the man is proved in nothing
more strongly than in his political
record He has been a steady republi-
can and is locally known as a wheel
horse" He has come up to the collar
and put eve~y pound Of him against the
trace chains.

THE DUNEDIN BULLET.

The dum-dum bullet takes its name
from some experiments made at the
Dum-Dum Ordnance Factory near
Calcutta, when it was found that by
leaving a small portion of the lead at
the apex of the proiectile uncovered,
the bullet 'set up" or mushrOomed,
soon after impact and inflicted sufli-
cient shock to stop the most deter
mined Ghaz. This was effected either
by removing part of the envelope or
by putting merely wrapper of nickel
as far up the bullet as was necessary
to enable it TO take the riding, leav-
Ing the lead bare at the conical por-
ton. In the last Soudan fight this
was effected by filing off a small por-
ton of the point, or nose. of the bull
let and leaving it fiat and bare of en-
velope. In a similar way these bull
lets set up" or mushrOomed, after
Impact, and gave the necessary stop
ping power.

The secretary is not rich man, but
has enjoyed large practice and is we'll
to do. His wife brought him property
that is not worth so much in Canton
as it would be in a larger town. He is
a charitable man, however, a secret
giver, and is always ready to do his
share in anything designed for the bet
terment of his city. His benefactions
are kept to himself. Indeed, reticence
of all his actions is one of his most
marked traits. He is practically
non -drinker, but not teetotaler. His
consumption of whskey will aver
age about a pint year. He is not a
member of any church, although he
attends Presbyterian worship with his
wife.
Mrs. Mary E. Day, nee Schaefer, is a
woman of singular loneliness of char
acter. Her devotion to her husband
and children is constant and boundless.
She formed her life partnership nearly
quarter of a century ago, and since
the deed was signed has not had an
ideal nor an inspiration that did Dot
include those nearest and dearest. Her
life has been wrapped in theirs. She
has many and varied accomplishments.
She is a musician, a model housewife
and an omniverous reader. Fiction,
travel, history, politics, sociological
and religious essays have all been de-
youred and wisely assimilated Her
conversation is kindly, interesting and
| hp no mo ba
cial obligations imposed upon her by
her own and her husbands posi-
ton, and is noted for the sue
cess of her entertainments, but has
never aspired to be a leader. She
has not been able to spare the time
from the secretary and his boys. She
IS not a woman's rights woman, hold
ing that the sphere of the wife and
mother is under the family rooftree
and by the family hearth. She is not
a devotee to the new woman fad She
looks not unkindly, but amusedly, on
boomers. Her union has been blessed
with four sons-William L., Luther
Rufus and Charles. William is study
ing law at Ann Arbor. Luther will
soon begin the course The two elder
do not resemble the father in physical
way. They are notable athletes, Will
liam is more than six feet high and
powerful. Luther is shorter but Il
muscled like a gladiator Both boys
were members of the foot ball anC
base ball teams of Williston academy
In Massachusetts. Last year Luther
was captain of the Canton eleven. They
are oarsmen, bieyclists, Pedestrian
and gymnasts. The younger boys ar,

The LadrOnes or Mariana islands are a
chain of fifteen islands situated north OF
the Carolines. They were first discover
ed by Magellan, in 1921, and called by
his crew Las Islas de los Ladrones'
(the thieves islands,, because of strong
propensity to theft on the part Of the
natives. They are of volcanic origin,
have a healthful climate, and comprise
an area of III square miles of fertile
land. Only four of the islands are in
habited. On Guam, the largest of the
southern group of five, is the only town
OF the colony, San Ignacio de Agana-
When, in 1867, the Spaniards establish
ed a regular settlement on Guam, the
islands had from forty thousand to sixty
thousand native inhabitants. They re-
ceived the settlers we'll and made great
progress until the Spaniards began to at
tack their independence, when a war
ensued in which the natives were prac-
tically exterminated. The present pop
ulation is not more than ten thousand,
consisting of descendants from the
natives. called by the Spaniards Cha
morros, of Tagul settlers from the Phil
ippines, and of mixed race formed by
the union of Spaniards and Chamorros-

French way to Cure Badness.

A French surgeon announces novel
cure for badness, which, however, is
only within the reach of the wealthy.
The first thing is to find some poor
starving wretch with a fine head of hair
of the color which the patient desires.
The former having consented to part
with his hair for a stipulated sum, the
doctor scalps the pair delicately and
applies the hairy scalp of the subject to
the bald client, and vice versa.
