ROMAN ROADS FOR AUTOS.

1t would be an odd coincidence it
along the Roman roads of Great Brit
ain, where once the chariots clattered
on the pave, the more terrible auto
mobile were now to take it's turn.
1T may be. The public safety on
the present town roads may demand
it, The old Roman roads run straight,
seldom coming near town en- route,
What could be better
Many of the public roads can no
longer be used by pedestrians, espe-
cially by old persons and children, by
riders and drivers of horses, or by
bicyclists, without mourning risk.
A remonstrance on behalf of ami
mails has also been raised, according
to United States Consul Hamm, Of
Hull. In a recent letter to the Presi-
dent of the Automobile Club Mr.. F. E..
Pirkis. Chairman of the National Ca
nine Defense League, enters on behalf
of his committee strong protest
against the terrible slaughter of
dogs. ga rather well-known automo-
DIllSU is Ill IuG udUlC Ol UOdOII1So Ll1cC
he had killed over fifty dogs during
a recent tour, and another Ga lady
motorist. ! regret to say has been
heard to exclaim: That is nothing
we run over a dog every time we go
out
The result of this agitation of the
subject is a proposition from some
member of the Roads Improvement
Association to repair and adapt the
old Roman roads to the requirements
of motor and cycle traffic, and a sub
committee was appointed to consider
whether it would be possible to make
use of these ancient highways (Which
in many cases are almost entirely dis
used.
In the event of AN invasion Of Eng
land motor wagons will be much used
and in that case direct roads like
these old Roman ways would obvious
ly be an immense advantage.

EXPECTED BATTLE
FAILS TO DEVELOP

st. Petersburg, Nov. 1.-THE expec-
tation of serious developments at the
theater of war has again failed of real
ization. The official dispatches record
nothing more serious than the usual
skirmishes. Strategists at the war Of
fee are inclined to believe that the ex-
rected great battle may be deferred
and possibly may not occur this year,
though the Japanese may make a des-
perate effort to flank General Kuro-
patkin and compel him to surrender
Mukden. If General Kuropatkin is con-
WINGED that the Japanese are now nu-
merically superior, he may decide to
draw off, as it would obviously he I'M
profitable to risk a general engage
ment until the vast armies to be placed
under his command can reach Manchu-
ria.

BANK CASHIER
KILLED BY ROBBERS

Cody, Wyo.. Nov. 2.-The First Ma
tional bank of Cody was held up yes
terday afternoon by three bandits, and
the cashier, R. r. Middaugh, was
killed. The robbers rode into the town
and went straight to the bank and dis
mounted. Three entered the bank and
the other held the horses outside. Mid
daugh refused the robbers demand for
money and was shot dead. The noise
of the shooting brought crowd to the
bank but the robbers had fed without
the available men in the town were
soon in hot pursuit of the fugitives,
who headed for Hole lin the Wall, a
famous wilderness refuge for outlaws.
When the robbers demanded money
Middaugh grabbed a revolver and
fought until shot down.
Buffalo Bill, en- route from Omaha
with a party of titled Englishmen, and
two of his Sioux Indian scouts on a
bear hunting expedition, has tele-
graphed that instead of hunting bears
he will take the trail of the robbers
and assist in wiping them off the
earth.
Double Reward for Killing.
Omaha, Nov. 2.-Colonel Cody said
last night that he had authorized a
big reward for the capture of the
Cody outlaws and the reward viii be
doubled in case one is killed.
"We want to kill them, not capture
them," he said.
Col. Cody said the government had
on deposit in that bank several hun
dred thousand dollars with which to
pay workmen employed on the Big
Horn irrigation system and that the
outlaws were evidently after that
money, but Cashier Middaugh's resist
ence prevented it being stolen.
One posse, led by Sheriff Champion,
overlook the outlaws at dusk 20
miles southwest of Cody and a battle
ensured in which Sheriff Champion
had a horse shot under him but was
uninjured The bandits obtained
fresh horses at ranch nearby and es-
capped.

Army Recruit Kills Officer.

Berlin, Nov. All Germany has
been stirred up by. the sensational
news which comes from Forbach,
where a recruit, unable to stand the
ficers, turned upon one of his tor
mentors, the first lieutenant of his
company, and killed him on the spot
The recruit had been in the service
only few months, but during that
time he had been subjected to all kinds
of torture from both non-commissioned
and commissioned officers, principally
because it was known he was a social
list and had always objected to enter.

Toxic, Nov 2.-Reports covering
the operations against Port Arthur

which was exploded by the Japanese
against Rihtung mountain fort blew
up a portion of the outer limits OF
that fort and that wide openings were
made in the outer easement of the
eastern portion of the fort north east

guns exploded a magazine on Sita1

Several Russian guns have been
displaced or destroyed by the fire OF
Japanese guns. An attack by an en-

JAPANESE NERvE-sTEADYING.

Admiral Togo, commander-in-chief
as fighting man has won worldwide
praise of late, comes from an old
school of Nippon warriors. His, ma
val education is of the best, and he
has been trained in every way to be
fearless, calm and tireless fighter.
In his youth, the November Success
relates, he and his fellow-students at
the Japanese Naval Academy were &C
customed to attend an annual banquet.
They sat at circular table around a
slowly revolving cannon loaded with a
ball and trained to the level of their
heads The trigger was SO arranged
that it could be touched from hidden
source outside of the banquet hall.
That at some time during the banquet
the cannon would be fired every one
at the table knew; but just when, or
in what direction, it would be point
ing, was a mystery. Of course, there
was a possibility that the ball might
crash harmlessly between the heads
of two banqueters, but it was equally
probable that it might carry off the
head of some student. Yet no one
f1inched. The chances were equal to
ak
The picturesque object of destruc-
ton revolving during the jovial hours
of the banquet, pointing from student
to student and ready at a given mo-
ment to blow any one of them to
pieces, was considered in Japan ad-
mirable training to steady the nerves
of a fighting man

A|RSH|P MAKES
ANOTHER TRIP

st. Louis, Nov. 2.-Baldwin's air
ship, the California Arrow, made an
other ascension yesterday, with A.
Roy KnabenshUe of Toledo, Ohio,
who made the two previous flights,
at the helm. When released from
lis weights the airship rose gradual
ly to height of 700 feet and sailed
with the wind in a northeasterly di-
rection with the machine under com
plete control. Mr.. Knabenshue pill
oted the machine for at least 300 feet
and then returned, circling about the
concourse. To show the sailing quail
tiles Of his craft Mr.. Knabenshue
then, at height of 1000 feet,
steered directly into the teeth of the
wind and proceeded about half a
mile, returning to the starting place
soon after, as his orders were to stay
up only 20 minutes. Instead of land
ing at once as it was expected he
would, Mr.. Knabenshue kept on mt
neuvering, crossing the concourse in
every direction, then shooting off
west. Finally, after being up nearly
40 minutes, he returned and brought
the machine safely to the ground in
the stadium, short distance from
the aeronautic concourse. The air
ship had been in the air exactly Sc
minutes. Mr.. Knabenshue landed in
the stadium under orders of Mr.
Baldwin, who told him to use his
Judgment in coming to the earth. The
crowd of several thousand people as
sembled on the worlds fair grounds
voiced their satisfaction with the per-
Torrance by prolonged cheering and
gave Mr.. Knabenshue another rous-
ing reception as the airship dropped
down gracefully among them.

WEALTH WILL WE'D SIMPLY.
NuptiaIs of Helen Phipps and Bradley

Martin, Jr., transformations.
| London, Nov. I'm marked contrast
TO the magnifcence and splendor OF
the Astor wedding will be the simple
and transformations ceremony which
will make Helen Phipps the bride OF
Bradley Martin, Jr., at Beauty church,
near Beaufort Castle, Invernessshire
today.
The union of two of the great for.
tunes of the modern world will be as
quietly unimpressive as the mating OF
a dairy maid and farm hand. There
will be a maid of honor, but no brides
maids or ushers Less than 200 invita-
lions have been issued, and in the
Quint little church near Beaufort cas-
tie will be assembled only those who
are intimately and closely connected
with the two families.
This simplicity and lack of ostenta
ton is a decided change from the
original plans, which contemplated
rich costuming in Highland plaids, the
wearing of many jewels and the exhi
bition of splendors of a sort to pale
even those of the Astor wedding.
All such intentions have been laid
aside, however, at the direct request Of
the brides father, Henry Phipps Of
New York and Pittsburg. There viii
be nothing of magnificence or splendor
The ceremony will be performed by
Archdeacon Sinclair, and aside from
the tasteful decorations Of the ole
church there will be nothing to distin
guish it from an ordinary wedding.
Many noted guests are beginning tt
arrive, and the presents have been nu
merous and costly. The young couple
will spend their honeymoon in Egypt
and by Christmas will begin a trip III
the Nile in a steam dahabegah, which
will be luxuriously fitted up for theil
use.

calls itself our best society, the re-

vow on slight pretexts and the play

indifference which recalls the declin-

London, Nov. Negotiations be-
tween Great Britain and Russia look
ing to a settlement Of the North sea
affair are progressing favorably and
there is not the slightest danger OF
any friction arising between the two
governments. The constitution OF the
international commission under The
Hague convention is on the verge OF
settlement.
In spite of the pacific conditions
Great Britain yesterday experienced
a war panic that can only be COM
pared to the panic created when the
news of the sinking of the trawlers III
the North sea was received. The
most extraordinary feature OF the
scarce, which was serious enough
while it lasted, is that there was NOT
one single circumstance to justify IL.
The excitement started earlyin the day,
when the newspapers announced the
departure af the Baltic squadron from

WOMEN WHO THINK.

No better advice has been offered
to woman-the intelligent, educated,
influential woman of America-than
that spoken by James B. Angel of
the University of Michigan.
"High privileges are opened to edu-
Gated women of this country at this
time, and consequently serious duties
are laid upon them. There is a
strong tendency among them to as
sociate action in many directions.
Women's clubs for literary, musical,
philanthropic, and social ends are ev-
erywhere organized. With SO many
facilities for combined action, there
is in my judgment, loud call to
them to do something to shield their
sex from some grave perils.
Certain customs which are rapidly
gaining ground among women in
what are called the higher social cir
cles demand a vigorous effort on the
part of intelligent and high minded
women to secure the elimination of
the element of gambling from amuse-
ments and games innocent in them
selves.
Furthermore, we have a right to
expect from educated woman pro-
nounced condemnation rather than in
dulgent views Of the rapidly growing
practice, for which both sexes are
guiltily responsible, >Of procuring I'M
der loose laws, laxly administered, di-
vorces on trivial grounds or by col
fusion, and of contracting subsequent
marriages with unseemly haste.
