London, Oct. 2l.-War seems to be
nearer between Russia and Japan
that it has been for two or three
weeks.
From Toxic comes news that Russia
continues to concentrate troops
along the Korean border, despite
Japanese capital firmly fixed, that
the Bear is preparing to seize the
Korean peninsula either now or in
the near future.
The curious report which comes
from Russian sources Is to the effect
that Russia and China have enterd
into an alliance under which in case
of hostilities they will act together.

To Much Gun Play.

The other day a passenger on d
street car took occasion to emphasize
his objections to the company's regu-
lations by shooting and mortally
wounding a conductor. The incident
serves to coll attention once more to
the painfully obvious fact that there
is altogether too much ''gun play" of
this kind, and that is due very largely
to the non-enforcement of the law for
bidding the carrying of concealed
weapons. The combination of rum
and revolvers is responsible for most
murders and numerous affrays here
and elsewhere.
In this respect Cleveland is neither
better nor worse than her sister cit
les. We have become a nation of
gun carriers, and that at time
when there is, or should be, the least
reason or excuse for the practice.
The United States has more crimes OF
violence than any other country of the
world which seriously pretends to
civilization, and this bad eminence
can be attributed only to the national
revolver habit. There is nothing in
the habits or character of the Ameri-
can people to explain the prevalence
of homicide except the fact the In
strument of homicide is always at
hand. The American revolvor is
coming to be a badge of national
shams as much as the stiletto favored
by races upon whom the American is
prone to look down, sometimes with
too little reason.
Every prisoner taken to a police
station is searched and If weapon is
found upon him a charge to that
effect is, or is supposed to be, regis
tered against him. 1t frequently
happened that this offense of carry
ing concealed weapons is really more
serious than that which brought
about the arrest. The man who goes
i'heeled" contains far greater posi-.
b:lities of danger to the community
than does drunkard or petty thief,
1t will require heroic treatment 10
eradicate an evil so deep rooted and
widely tolerated, but the police, and
the police courts in particular, have
it in their power to mitigate it. Sc
we're sentence. with wide publication
of the fact, will go long way to dis
courage this murderous and wholly
needless custom.-Plain Dealer.

Edison Has Obtained 7e1 Patents.

The fertile brain of Thomas A. Edison
continues to be the source Of the greatest
amazement to the clerks and officials OF
the patent office who have in charge the
work of looking after the applications plac-
ed on file by this inventor. On the 3lst OF
this month Mr.. Edison will have obtained
T9l patents from the patent office on as
many inventions. a larger number by sew
eral hundreds than any other Individual
has received In the history of the Office.
This remarkable record was ascertained
yesterday afternoon by Mr.. J. w. Babson.
chief of the division of issue and gazette
OF the patent office, who has made tabu-
lated statement of the inventions of Mr..
Edison. From this statement II would ap-
pear that prior to 1895 the inventor had
obtained Ill patents and that since that
time he has received the following num-
bers: In 1895. three patents; in 1897, two
PATENTS in 1893. eight patents; in 1899.
three patents: In 1900. sixteen patents: In
1901. twenty-three patents; 1902. nineteen
patents. and in 1903. he has so far receiy-
ed six patents.

BEADS.

Beaded like a savage is the note the
fashion chronicler will jot down in
her book anent the modes of the sea-
son. Surely womankind has gone
mad on the subject Of beads and bead
chains.
Once upon a time we were content
with pearl, coral, Or the lovely gun
metal and crystal chains, things of
real value. But they, it seems, simply
whetted our appetite, which grew by
what it fed upon. And now we have
gone over entirely, made a complete
surrender to anything in the way of
chain. And most of all do we like the
bead chain, the kind that tickled the
taste of the savage. and is looked upon
with kindly eye by the heather
Chinee. And not only bead chains,
but bead girdles, bead fobs, even, it is
whispered; bead bands for our sailor
hats we are to wear ere the summer
wanes. The bead chain we can easily
make, but the bead girdle and fob are
rot so easy of achievement.
However, since they are so popular.
clever inventors and manufacturers
have, as usual, come to our aid And
the summer girl can daintily employee
herself weaving bit of bead beauty
on a real little loom built especially
for the purpose.

SOUTHERN EDUCATION.

The south is hopefully wrestling
with the problem of fIliteracy and the
negro is sharing in the general up
lifting. In the Review of Reviews
Mr.. David E. Cloyd, school visitor for
for general education board, contrasts
the new methods with the old by COM
pairing two Georgia counties, Bibb
and Hancock. Bfbb has a special
school system of its own, run by a
selfperpetuating board, which elects
the county superintendent, and it also
has a special power of local taxation
It has handsome new buildings for
negro schools as we'll as for white
Fifty of it's white and twenty-five of
it's colored teachers are college grad
yates. It's schools are all kept open
for nine months in the year, which is
something unusual in the south. In
Hancock county the schools are open
only five months and a half
Both counties are making progress.
and in each the number of illiterate
whites between the ages of ten and
eighteen had been reduced by 1898
to one per cent. of the population at
that age. But there were still % per
cent. of illiterate negroes in Hancock
county, while in Bib county there
were only per cent. Practically
the colored people of that county are
an educated race.
In Bibb county the white people
were taxed in 1902 on a valuation
ABOUT twenty-five times as great as
that assessed to the negroes, but
three-fourths as many negro children
were educated as white children. In
Hancock county, where the whites
paid about eleven-twelfths of the
taxes, the negroes furnished over two
thirds Of the pupils. This seems to in
dictate that the south is making some
sacrifices for the negro's advancement,
even if it does not welcome him in
politics.

AN EASTER WEDDING.

In The Current Housekeeper maya
zine the first of the series of Twelve
Pretty Weddings is described The
church where the ceremony took place
was small one, Gothic in design, and
decorated throughout only with the
simplicity Of ornament which the
Gothic idea permits. The altar was
draped with pure white linen and the
curtain behind the altar, signffying
the church season, was also of white.
On each side of the altar was a tall
vase filled with white lilies. These
were the only flowers used in the chan
eel, but at each pew was tied a stalk Of
lilies with long ends of golden satin
ribbon, and at each side Of the prieu-
dieu, where the bride and groom knelt
for the ceremony, a big bunch of lilies
was tied.
The bride wore white satin, not the
stiff F'stand-alone" satin of the con-
ventional wedding gown, but a soft,
glistening fabric which fell about her
feet in loose folds, as nearly like the
reversed petals Of lily as the art Of
her modiste could manage. 1t was
made high to the throat and long
sleeved, and when the veil was ad-
justed over it she looked like vert-
table lily-bud just ready to waken. In
stead of orange blossoms she carried a
bouquet of haffopened lily buds, the
green leaves against her white gown
giving the only touch of color in her
garb. At the last moment Maud and
Hilda prepared to act as a guard Of
honor, and gowns were hstily i'm
provised from white chiffon, with f1lmy
skirts like a lily, and long sashes Of
golden yellow satin. Instead Of walk
ing up abreast, as is the custom at
ordinary weddings, the girls walked
one behind the other, each holding
single full blown lily in her hand and
wearing little coronet of buds on her
head. Besides these attendants two
small nephews of the bride dressed in
court costumes of white satin, slashed
with yellow, walked behind the bride,
who made her way ZIP the aisle alone,
one page, bearing the ring on silver
tray and the other holding the white
satin prayer book from which the serv-
ice was read.
At the house the idea was similarly
carried out. Round white draped
tables, each simply laid with few
long-stemmed lilies in the center, were
ready for the guests, and the mantels
in each room used by the party were
banked with lilies from which de-
pended long streamers Of golden vel
low ribbon. A bunch was tied to each
chair with the same yellow ribbon, and
when the bride received the few
friends who had been invited, the two
tiny pages stood beside her, each hold
ing a tall lily. An unexpected, and

SOCIAL HINTS.

Don't be inattentive either with
| eyes or ears when one is talking to
you. To stare around the room and
| listen to conversations near by is any
thing but fattering, and nothing is
more easily detected than to answer
at random nearly always in the wrong
| places as we'll as in the wrong way
Don't tell people what a success
you are. Let them lind that out them
selves If you are having such good
time, there are plenty of means of
making it known besides entertaining
your friends and acquaintance with
your supposed triumphs.
Don't brag about your visits to
other places. Always act as if your
best times were in your own home and
among your own friends. A girl, or
man either, who is liked more away
from home than in her or his own city,
has usually some serious fault, and it
is nothing to ones credit to make
friends with strangers when you can
not keep them at home
Don't be too frank. There is a
limit even to truthfulness when it is
unkind.
Don't be personal, for remarks of
that nature are invariably in bad taste.
Even too much f1attery is not a good
thing, and those who really succeed in
this world are not those who keep a
barney stone in their pockets to kiss
upon every occasion.
sDon't be too severe or gossipy. Give
others the benefit of the doubt, and
don't blame hastily, for often what one
says in hurry takes a long time to
check in its course through the world
Don't talk when others wish to do
so, even if one is going to pose for be-
ing quiet; better be that and an atten-
tive, sympathetic listener than a great
and tiresome talker.
Don't choose dangerous subjects of
conversation among people whom you
known slightly. Divorces, suicides,
troubles of various kinds are not topics
at best for general society.
Don't, above all things, hint for an
invitation or try to make anything off
your friends. Such practices are al
ways discovered and reflect little
credit upon ones judgment or breed
ing.
Don't take up fuss easily. They
are hard to end when one wants them
TO do so.
Don't be aggressive and act as if
people were put out when they are not.
Don't discuss ones private affairs
with anyone.
Don't tell of ones quarreIs and
tribulations. Don't say anything about
ones friends to others that one does
not want repeated, especially to a
man.
'Please STOP" begged the listener.
81 am through" laughed the woman,
''for if l keep on someone will surely
say to me, Don't give so much advice
which no one will have the strength
of mind to follow "-PhiladeIphfa In

Drinks Like a Eishi"

! Of course a fish, in spite of damas-
ing and libellOus comparisons, does not
drink alcoholic beverages to excess.
A French scientist, Prof. Archant, has,
however, forced unwe1come alcohol in
to goldfish for experiment. The fish
who really drinks like a fish" swims
merrily about his globe for a while,
then drops tothe bottom, lies on his
side and looks silly.
Prof Archant has tried alcohol upon
other creatures. A dogs stomach, for
instance, will not retain pure alcohol.
| It is necessary to give him a 10 per
cent. mixture, about the strength Of
ordinary cIaret. Even this has to be
piped straight into his stomach or he
would veto the arrangement.
Released, the dog frisks about as if
very happy. Later he becomes sleepy,
Imaudlin and reproachful. He thinks
of all his past sins and seems ashamed.
Presently he tries to walk about and
finds his legs Unbalanced Not until
after long sleep does he recover.
other animals differ somewhat in
their program. The rabbit wastes no
time, but goes to sleep at once. The
kangaroo wants to fight. The guinea
pig goes into commissions.
The doctor of course tries his expert
ments for the purpose of finding ex-
actly how alcohol acts. Analyz1ng
the blood of his specimens" at var
ious stages, he announces that if you
examine the blood ten nours after TAX
ing alcohol you will find traces of it,
and if you examine it again twenty
hours after it has reached the stomach,
analysis will still reveal the presence
of alcohol. SO that those who are CIV
en- to the frequent consumption of liq-
uors must accumulate quantity of al
cohol in the system which may have
disas trOus consequences.
