THE UP-TO-DATE WOMAN.

Mrs. Ann Randall, of Langhorne, Pa,
celebrated her ~ninety-sixth birthday on
Monday evening by giving a party at
which she danced several times in as live
ly a manner as anyone present. Among
those at the ball were a daughter, five
sons, 20 grandchildren and 90 great
grandchildren.
The French government in Algeria
proposes to establish a woman doctor in
every village where the native popula-
ton is large enough, the native women
being prevented by their social customs
from consulting men physicians. In AL
giers a dispensary has already been
opened for women.
A daily newspaper of Rapid City, S. D.,
appears under the direct supervision OF
Mrs. Alice R. Gossage. Her husband,
who published the newspaper, was far
from strong, and little by little the ener-
get1c woman took the management into
her own hands. Now she is business
manager as we'll as editor.
Nine. Marie Paille, the autocrat of
Partisan hairdressers, has decided that
the hideous chignon is to come in again.
All of feminine France doubtless will
bow in submission to this decree. Eng
lish women will fall into line and it is
not to be thought that Uncle Sans
daughters will lag behind. The CHG
o has been described as about on a
par, as a barbaric ornamentation, with
the nose ring and the jingling bracelet.

old Combs in New Frames.

In putting old comb in new frames,
see that you get them right edge up,
just as they hung in the old hive. The
threads used for winding the frames
should be taken out in q day or two;
the bees will then have fastened the old
comb to the bars. Comb too small to
fill q whole frame can be put in in
pieces, and it is wonderful how the bees
viii fit them together SO nicely that 1t
is hardly possible to detect that you
ever had your clumsy hands on them

FEEDING SMALL CHICKENS.
Food Placed in the Trough Here De-
scribed Will Be Kept Clean I'm
til It Is Consumed.

Chicks do not require food for the
frst "a to Sc hours after Matching. One
of the best foods that can be fed the
first few days is stale bread slightly
moistened with milk. This should be
crumbled fine and placed where the
chicks have free access to it, so they
cannot step on it. If placed on the floor
or on a board, the larger part of the food
will be trampled upon, and soon becomes
unfit to eat

U. s. STEEL IS SUED.
To Have Corporation Show Cause
 Why it Discontinued Dividends.

To Have Corporation Show Causs
 Why 1t Discontinued Dividends.
 Tronton, N. J., Feb. n.-Alfred F. Stevens, of Newark today Instituted suit in the court of chancery against the United States Steel Corporation to have that corporati tion to show cause why it first increased and subsequently, discon. tinued paying dividends on its common stock. Stevens. in his application. pre- senta figures to bear out his contention that the dividend could have been paid.
 Mir. Stevens in his petition, claims that the Steel Corporation. since its ineorpora- ton, has had net earnings over and above Jta fxed charges of about $65,O00, 900. Ot ss4 oo0. 0oO in 1909, and $l1.0o0.0o0 in 1903. He claims that under it's charter the eorpora- ton Is obliged to pay quarterly dividends to the extent of per cent per annun. That in October. 1s3. a dividend of only 1 1-2 per cent or at the rate of per cent per annum, was declared, and that in January, 1904. no dividend at all was de-, clared on the common stock.
 He attacks the validity of the recent by law of the corporation. which authorizes the directors to set aside from the .earn.s ings of the company from time to time such amounts as they may determine.
 Mir. Stevens contends that the bylaw Is in violation of his rights as a stock holder; that he owned his stock. befora this bylaw was adopted. and that he neveH consented to It's adoption. He alleges that even under this by-law no money was set aside for working capital until February, 1904 whereupon 1t was prior to this that the dividend of October 1908. was reduced and the one of January 1904, was passed

FALSE STORIES OF VICTORY.
St. Petersburg Eagerly Hears of

 Fake Successes.
 St. Petersburg, Feb. 1.-The rigid cen- sorship stin prevents the newspapers both from receiving war news from either Russian of foreign sources. No news has been received since Viceroy Alexleh's dispatch, and the public con sequently is completely in the dark.
 All manners of rumors are afloat. The Government, however, has taken meas ures to counteract their publication, for bidding the retail sales of the principal offender. The St. Petersburg Gazette.
 The Government expressed great dis pleasure at the publication of the report of Russian victory and the raising of false hopes among the population. New ertheless the rumors circulated verbally are greedily swallowed According to one report the Russian armed cruiser Gromovoi, recently sailed out of Vladi- vos.ock. destroyed twenty Japanese trans ports off Southern Korea and was herself sunk by the Japanese cruisers.
 Another story claimed that Jour of tha Vladivostock warships under Admiral stackelberg had sunk four Japanese transports.
 The most circumstantial story current in St. Petersburg is report of the sink ing of the Russian cruiser Varaig ofY
 
 Japanese attack on Port Arthur was a feint to protect the passage of trans- ports bound to Shai-Hai-Kwan to land Japanese troops there and effect con- junction with the forces of YuanSki- Kai. the Chinese commander-in-chief, and at tack the Russians in the rear.
 These are but samples of the reports current in the Russian capital.
 All the Russian navigation companies have vessels in far Eastern waters and are anxious about their fate. The volun- teer fleet is particularly concerned re- garding the Ekatorioslsv. which left Shanghai, lea laden for Singapore, Feb ruary 1st. No news of either vessel has reached here.
 The report circulated here that the United States has offered her good ser vices is commented on only by The No- vosti, which emphasizes the previous statements that intervention is impossible and says it doubts whether the offer of good services in the strictest sense would have any result. The paper adds that it considers 1t strange hat the United states has made a distinction between China and Korea, which. it points out, Is also ;an independent country.

An Uncanhy Story of the IroquOis
 Fire

Chicago. Feb, u.l1The long search of
 Frank R. Greenwald for the body of his wife, who lost her life in the Iroquois fire. has been rewarded He has found the body buried at tElnwood as that. of another woman,
 MT. dfeehwald identified the body by the raembrance connecting the first and second toes of the. feet and by two rings that were still on the hand. The body was burned beyond recognition of the features,
 Linked with the pathos of the long search is story of the theory of the police and the husband is true of a de- iiberate attempt to get possession of a body in order to obtain the money found Ton it.
 Mrs. Greenwalds body was taken to an undertaking establishment where 1t was numbered 34. The number was a dupli- cate and on the Bother body numbered s4 was $500. A man who said he came from Montreal, Canada. claimed body No. 34, stating that $500 would be found on it. He secured 6 permit to take away this body.
 He claimed 1t as the body of his aunt. woman 50 years of age. When he brought the permit to remove the body he found that 1t had been identified as that of Mrs Helen Miller. 25 years old.
 When he found he could not get the body of Mrs. Miller he took the other one as his permit called for No. 3i. This was the body of Mrs. Greenwald. He called an undertaken to care for the body and bury 1t. He explained his circum- stances and on promise that the wealthy relatives would come to Chicago he ob- tained not only credit for the expense of the interment, but also the loan of a considerable sum from the undertaken.
 After both the bodies had been buried, the Montreal man continued to trouble the Miller family seeking the affects that were on the body which they had identi- fled Although Mrs. Greenwald wore several articles of jewelry, she presence of the two rings leads the police to be- iieve that the remaining pieces were taken by some one else and not by the man who identified the body. No money was found on the body.
 The police have a good description of the Montreal man and his arrest Is ex- pected soon.
 Greenwald's son also had been wrongly identified. He had been placed in a vault as Vernon Corbin. This mistake was discovered by MT. Greenwald ten days after the fire.
