The crowd was likely to do him and
the house damage, when Sir Henry

quiet statement: pray excuse the gen

without furt urging.

LADYsM1TH SEEMS DOOMED

Butler Will Probably Abandon the Town
to Its Fate.
LONDON, Jan. 3O.-Open talk is heard
of the absolute necessity Of abandon
ing Ladysmith to its fate, while Lord
Roberts reverts to the original plan Of
an advance over the Orange river upon
Bloemfontein. TO Ladysmith the dis
appointment must be very bitter. A
dispatch from the Boer laager near the
town, dated January "a, describes the
garrison as livery evidently preparing
a desperate coup in order to effect a
junction with General Buffers advanc-
ing army" 1t may be regarded as q
certainty that, in the confident hope
of early relief, Sir George White has
lately been issuing extra >rations, and
this fact has given rise to an exagger-
ated idea as to the length OF time the
provisions would last. Even should it
be decided to send General Butler rein
forcements and to attempt to reach
Ladysmith by movement through the
still more difficult country to the east,
it is extremely doubtful whether the
garrison could hold out long enough,
as such a movement would occupy at
least month. General Buffers oper-
alton has cost 912 men. SO far, officially
reported, within ten days.

Thinks Assault on Ladysmith May Now
He Looked For.
LONDON, Jan. 3O.-Mr. Spen GER Will
kinson in the Morning Post says: ''De-
feat is bitter. But it is right to face
it and to take reasonable means to
turn it into victory. 1t is wrong to
try to conceal it from ourselves. The
initiative is now again with the Boer
commander, and the question is, what
will he do next? He will either act
against Ladysmith or against General
Butler. In the latter case pursuit
would be useless, for when the British
force is once across the river again, it
would be impracticable, as small
rear guard could prevent pursuit.
Much more probable would be an at
tack on Chievely before the return OF
the main body. Either that or fresh
assault on Ladysmith may be recorded
in a day or two"

An Englishman went into the Chat

RUSSIA ~ EXPECTING WAR,
Firmly Believed That Japan 10 Making

Ready for Attack.
ST.. PETERSBURG, Jan. 29.-From an
authentic source it is learned that in
diplomatic and governmental circles
here it is considered assured that
Japan is ready for a war with Russia,
and that the policy and efforts Of jap
anese statesmen are directed along the
line of an alliance for offensive pur-
poses between Japan, Great Britain
and China. Japan is plainly anxious
to resist and paralyze Russia's success
full invansion and predominant in
fuence in eastern Asia, and as Q pre-
liminary to the desired conflict sug-
gests to China the establishment Of
military academy at Picking, where
Japanese officials shall instruct the
Chinese in the art of war. This pro-
posal, it is believed, will be accepted,
despite the opposition of Russia, France
and Germany. The Japanese arsenals
are at their busiest-that is matter of
Russian military information. The
army and fleet system of coast defenses
has been developed and improved and
recent inspections have shown that
they are satisfactory to the mikado's
war Office. That Japan will obtain a
certain portion Of Korean territory
has already been decided, but it will
be done quietly SO as to avoid prema-
ture trouble with Russia. Japan
knows that Russia is not going to make
the first move toward war, and Japan,
before war actually is precipitated, is
doing its best by way of preparation.
Russia is ready for any war in Asia or
elsewhere. She now calmly awaits
Great Britain's downfall.

girl, impressed by her beauty. But II we
analyza the beauty We find it is made up
of smooth skin, clear complexion, bright
eyes, rudy lips. and rounded contours.
That beauty ought to last always But
how soon we see It fade. The young wife
looks at her yellow skin, sunken cheeks,
and hollow eyes, and marvels at her own
falling off. And the younger girls still
retaining the beauty of youth wonder
what her husband could have seen attrac
tive in her" not knowing that y Will be
their turn 20 fade very soon.
HOW To KEEP BEAUTY
In order 10 preserve this beauty OF youth
to retain the charm of sweetness and fresh
ness which belongs to maidenhood, the
prerequisite is TO understand that the
chief foe of woman's beauty is womauly
HI-health. Young women are often very
careless of themselves. The temptation of
the dance, or OF the sleigh-ride overrules
their prudence and the result is suppress
sion and perhaps irEegularity. This is only
the beginning of worse evils, and yet this
alone is sufficient TO steal the freshness
from the face. The womanly health should
be protected with the utmost care. and the
first symptom of arrangement or disease
should be met by the use OF DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
