Do Good-It PAYS.

A Chicago man has observed that,
Good deeds are better than real estate
deeds-sOme Of the latter are worthless.
Act kindly and gently, show sympathy
and lend helping hand. You cannot
possibly lose by it." Most men APP
preciate kind word and encourage
ment more than substantial help.
There are persons 10 this community
who might truthfully say: "My good
friend, cheer up. A few doses Of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will rid
you OF your cold, and there is no danger
whatever from pneumonia when you use
that medicine. 1t always cures. l
know it for it has helped me out many
a time" Sold by Richard Gibson.

Draped lin British Ensign.

New York, Oct 8.-The early crowds
hurrying through the City Hall Park to-
day. were surprised to see the statue of
Nathan Hale draped in the mutilated
folds of the British ensign, with a card
attached bearing the following inscrip-
ton: "Lest we forget S. A. r." Some
one suggested that it was meant as a pro-
test against the reception and feting Of

To whom it may concern:

my wife came from Newport News to Alex
andria of her own accord, without my know
ing it and as for her being starved, as was
published in an Alexandria paper it is false,

off in restaurants as reed birds, woodcock,

of the culinary art makes them capable Of

seems, has recently been masquerading again
this time as canary. A couple OF men
went through Delaware, n. j., a few days ago
and sold the birds. which they claimed were
French canaries, at 81 apiece. They promised
to return in ten days and refund the money Il
the birds were not satisfactory. They left ex-

RUSSIA AND MANCHURIA.

According to the information received
at Yokohama, the Russian minister al
Peking, NJ. Lessar, has informed the
Chinese Foreign Office that Russia will
never evacuate Manchuria unless her
latest demands are granted. The Japa-
nese residents of Jef-Wie-Ju have filed
petition with the Foreign Office at
Toxic asking that japanese warship
and troops be sent to protect their in
terests in view of the menacing attitude
of Russia. The reply Of Japan is not
yet known. The press which reported
the fortifcation by Russia of Yongam-
pho, en- the Korean bank of the Yalu
river, considers this action as a possible
casus belli as being an infringement Of
Korean Integrity.
Baron Won Rosen, the Russian minis
ter to Japan, had another conference
with Baron Kamura, the japanese
foreign minister, Tuesday. The Japan
csc premier, Viscount Katsura, had an
audience with the Emperor the same
day. 1t is now feared that the promised
concessions on the part of Russia are in
sufficient to offset her continuous menace
to Korea, nor is the Chino-Japanese
commercial treaty to be signed October
3, though adequate to compensate for a
permanent Russian occupation.
A rumor current yesterday evening
says that definite Russian demands con-
concerning Manchuria and Korea have
been presented to Japan by Baron Won
ROsen

THE U. S. SHIPBUILDING COMPANY.
One of the most interesting statements
in connection with the formation of the
Inflated United States Shipbuilding
Company, told by d. Leroy Dresser, in
legal proceedings in New York yester-
day, was that after a pool of 200, 900
preferred and 25O, 900 common stock
had been placed in the hands of Harris,
Gates & Co., it was agreed that none of
this stock should be marketed until
%, 900 preferred and $4,000 common,
owned by P. Morgan & Co., and 5000
of each kind, owned by G. NJ. Schwab
bad been first sold. Mr.. Dresser told
also of his original agreement, as presi-
dent of the Trust Company of the Re-
public. TO obtain the underwriting OF
IS. 900, 600 of United States Shipbuild-
ing stock; how this was increased to
81, 700, 600 by the failure OF the French
subscribers to pay up, how Mr.. Schwab
came to offer his Bethlehem Works TO
the shipbuilding company, and how j.
p. Morgan & Co. then came into the
transaction. Hearing in the action OF
Roland R. Conklin and Others of the
bondholders' protective committed
against the United States Shipbuilding
Company was resumed yesterday in New
York before Henry D. Oliphant, special
United States examiner.

1T is stated that Mr. Armour, of
Chicago, whose daughter, Lolita, was
cured Of congenital dislocation of the
hip by DR.. Lorenz, is to establish chair
of ortheophedic surgery after the LOrenz
schoolina at least one hospital in the lead
ing city Of every State and territory in the
United States. This indeed would be a
noble thank offering and in all probability
would tighten the suffering Of many who
might otherwise be crippled during all
their lives.

PHYSICIAN KILLED OFFICER. While
crazed from the influence of liquor, DIR.
G. o. Rice, one of the most prominent
physicians in Pueblo, COL, last night
shot and almost instantly killed Police
Officer Martz, while the latter was try
ing to arrest him in the Palace Drug
Store in the Central Block. The tragedy
occurred after the frenzied physician had
driven every one from the store by flour
ishing his revolver and threatening to
kill any one who came within pistol
range. Police Officer Slater shortly
afterward accidentally shot himself
Though the pelyis while attempting to
effect an entrance into the store. The
wounded officer is in the hospital and
will probably die. 1t was not until
10 O'Clock that DR.. Rice was
captured. Meanwhile he had sue
ceeded in holding an enormous crowd at
bay in front of the drug store. Finally
Detective Roubichaud and Assistant
Fire Chief Charles Campbell effected an
entrance to the rear of the store through
the cellar and succeeded in overpower-
ing the doctor before he could offer any
resistance. 1t was found that he had
disabled his revolver and that it had
been practically useless for some time.
The patrol wagon was in readiness, and
the prisoner was taken to the county jail
by circuitous route for fear that some
attempt at violence might be made. DR..
Rice, who did the shooting, is one of
the oldest and most prominent physicians
in the city. He is the founder of Fair
mount Hospital, in Paramount Park,
which was formerly known as the Rice
Sanitarium.
