WOUUL-BE WASHERS.
Policeman Accuses Young Man of
Obnoxious Practice.

Obnoxious Practice.
Policeman Phil Brown, who is one of the
officers detailed for the purpose of break
ing up the obnoxious habit of so-called
mashers, found four young men at 9th and
F streets yesterday making themselves Of
fensive by an endeavor to flirt with wo-
men passing. The policeman ordered the
young men to move on, and they did, but
only to a point across the street, where the
largest one of the party amused himself
and his companions by sticking his thumb
and finger to his nose every time the po-
liceman happened to glance In his direc-
tion.
After getting tired of this sport the four
mashers moved down 9th street. Slipping
around the back streets. Policeman Brown
followed the parties, and after walking sew
and Market space, the four being busily en-
gagged in the effort to f1irt with some young
ladies. Before they were aware of II the
officer was upon them and placed the big
gest one under arrest. The alleged cuiprit
was highly indignant and threatened to
have the buttons of the officer removed for
publicly humliating him. His threats and
expostulations were of no avail. however,
and he was sent to the station. He boast
ed of having S in his pockets with which
to secure his release. but at the station he
found that it required SO cola teral to eff
feet that desirable end. Some friends came
to the rescue and deposited the other S..
and the young man departed and with his
friends returned to street, but did not
remain in the locality very long.
At the station the young man gave his
name as Warren and his occupation as a
carpenter 1t Is believed he did not give the
proper name. He failed to answer when
his name was called on the collateral list
declared the $40 he had deposited to be for
feited. Il

How Goldfish Catch Lobsters.
From the Ipwfstop Journal

Ii Is probably news to the majority of
people to know that the red or rock cod
fish is bitter enemy Of the lobster that
has just crawled out of his shell and is soft
and unable to protect himself. During she'd
ding time these Holsters crawl up under
projecting rocks where the seaweed and
kelp are thick and where they find protect.
ed places In which to go through the process
or slipping out OF their old shells and TAX
ing on new coat Of mail, SO to speak.
For some days after shedding the Holsters
are weak and unable to cope with those
fish that wage war upon them. This fact
the Goldfish seem intuitively to know. and
they will swarm around these retreats in
great numbers and wait for the shedders to
crawl out. An old lobster fisherman said
this morning that many times he had stop
red Goldfish and watched their operations.
He had even dropped his line down and
dangled tempting bait within a few feet of
them. Unless II happened to fall directly
In front Of their noses. however they would
seldom take 1t, as they were after lobster
meat. When the thin -shelled Holsters would
crawl out from beneath the protecting sea-
weed the Goldfish would dart at them and
strike them fierce blows with their tails
disabling them completely. They would
then fall to and devour the helpless crusta-
ceans. This performance the lobster fish
erman said he had witnessed many times.
The shedding season is now practically
over, an dthe shells Of the Holsters are be-
coming finn and hard. and they are fully
able TO take care of themselves

RUSSIA IN MANCHURIA
DOUBT FELT HERE THAT ANNExA-
TI0N HAS TAKEN PLACE.
Believed That the Action Taken
Means No More Than Declaring
Martial Law.

No notice has reached our government
from any official source of the report that
Russia has annexed Manchuria. and the
fact that the story comes through British
channels, known to be strongly prejudiced.
inclines the officials here to believe that
the statement is based upon a misunder-
standing of such action Russia has
taken to quiet the disturbed provinces in
the north of China. A rumor of similar
import was put anoat at the time Russia
occupied the port of Niuchwang in Man.
churia and took measures to re-estabiish
order
pains in that instance to learn the exact
facts, for If Russia had, as reported, an
nexed that important treaty port, the
United States government would have been
obliged to take. official notice Of the fact.
1t soon appeared, however. that all that
the Russian commandant had done was to
declare what amounted to martial law over
the territory occupied by the Russian
troops-a justifiable and common measure
In time of war.
1t is believed here that the Russian gov
ernment has simply repeated this action
in the case of the territory bordering on
the Amur river and now occupied by Rus
sian troops.
This belief is based in large part upon
the solemn declaration of the Russian gov
ernment that the occupation of the terri
tory in Manchuria was temporary and. so
far our government knows, nothing has
since occurred that would afford a reason
able excuse for changing that position.
Russia's Pledge to Withdraw.
The pledge In this case was contained In
the Russian note of August %. In which the
powers, including the United States, were
informed Of the purpose Of the Russian gov
ernment to withdraw it's ministry and
| troops from Pekin. The particular para
graphs IN the note are as follows:
While the progress of events. such as
the attack on our troops at Niuchwang by
the insurgents, well a series of ag-
gressive actions of the Chinese against our
territory on our border-notabIy, the en-
tirely unprovoked bombardment of Bal

exclusively acquired by the necessity of
providing against the aggressive acts Of the
Chinese insurgents, cannot be taken as i'm
plying selfish views of any character. which
are entirely foreign to the policy of the i'm
perial government.
LAS soon as lasting order shall have been
re-establshed in Manchuria. and when the
necessary measures shall have been taken
to safeguard the railway, the construction
of which has been guaranteed by formal
agreement with China In connection with
the concession to the Eastern Railway
Chinese Company. Russia will not fail to
withdraw her troops from within the
boundaries of the adjacent empire. provid-
ed, however. that the action of other pow
ers shall not stand in the way

ELEPHANTINE DENTISTRY.
A Big Problem in More Ways Than
One.
ErOm

A Big Problem in More Ways Than
One.
From the London Express
Human dentistry is a difficult enough
science to practice: but to attend to the
teeth troubles of animals Is still more so.
W hen the animal to be treated is an eIe-
phant the problem becomes big one in
more senses than one. This was lately IL
lustrated in the City of Mexico where q
mammoth sufferer called Columbus was
successfully relieved of raging tooth.
Ii Is necessary to state that the trouble
scme tooth was twelve inches long. the
diameter at the root being no fewer than
Tour inches After the swollen gum had
been thoroughly soaked with cocaine. a
three-quarter-inch auger was used to make
hole through the offending tooth. To
bore through solid ivory is by no means an
easy task. and the veterinary surgeons had
I'd handle the instrumnet in turns.
Even then the work had to be SUSPENDED
every now and again, owing to the animal
getting wrought up. On these occasions
further doses of cocaine We're injected. and
after couple of hours hard work a hole
had been successfully drilled through the
tooth A brief rest was then taken before
the most important part of the work be-
gan This consisted in running an iron rod
through the hole, the ends of which pro-
truded about four inches on either side
a rope an inch in diameter which had
heen soaked in tar. was then tied to each
end of the bar and twisted about the tooth
in such a fashion that it could not slip.
The preparations were completed by run
ming part of the rope through pulley. car
rying 1t out, and attaching it to the traces
of four strong horses.
THIS dramatic moment came when the
word was given to the driver to whip up
his horses.
Crack! crack! went the teemster's whip;
and with a long, long pull and a strong
strong pull, accompanied by plenteous bel
lowing. out came the troublesome tooth.
