New York, Nov. 26-Mrs. Helen Dens-
nrominent RrooIx1vn manItfs ctiirer died
today, the cause of death being given as
asthma The physician who was called in
the case shortly before her death has
asked for an investigation because she

FOR A GRAND JURY
Of Petitions Is Going on
Today.
They Must Be Completed Early
On Monday.

Several hundred signatures of tax
payers have been affixed to the petit
tions praying that Judge Hazen order a
grand jury to attend at the January
term of the district court.
. The petition must be filed with
Judge Hazen not later than Tuesday
and from the present indications many
more than the 400 names absolutely
necessary will be signed to the petition
before the time for filing.
Half a dozen petitions, or more, are
being circulated and one has been left
at the Y. M. G. A. rooms at III East
Eighth avenue where it can be signed
by tax payers who wish to express
themselves and to aid in securing a
grand jury.

to believe that thousands of dollars
have been stolen from the state and
still the officers whose duty it is to act
have done nothing to clear the good
name of the state from the stigma Of
public misconduct.
The Nickum murder, the most atroc-
ious crime in the city, remains a mys-

guilty persons will be brought to JUS
tice. The grand jury may help in the
solution.
1t is the province of the grand jury
to, Investigate violations of law and to
formulate the evidence in such shape
that the guilty persons may be brought
to justice. There is no doubt that a
Shawnee county grand jury will find
enough to keep it busy for some time.

ATTACK THE HILL.
Japanese Again Attempt to Re-
take Lone Tree Position.

Mukden, Nov. 26.-The Japanese No
vember "a again made preliminary bonn
bardment of Poutfloff hill under the
cover of which they attacked but were
repulsed. There were encounters at
other places along the front, but they
were in the nature of small brushes
and mostly took place at night. Yester-
day there was a light fall of snow and
the surrounding country now has all
the appearance of winter.
Rivers Frozen Over.
st. Petersburg, Now ga dis
patch from Mukden says that the
Hun and Taitse rivers have been
frozen over The low stage of water
in the Liao river, the dispatch adds,

Berlin, Nov. 26.-The Lokal An
zeiger Mukden correspondent tele-
gra phS as follows:
According to a report brought by
Chinese to Russian headquarters, the
corps of General Kuroh has arrived
at Yinkow.
The concentration of strong Japa-
nese forces at Saimatszo, northwest of
F'engwangcheng, which at first was
thought to indicate the formation of a
new offensive army, now appears to

Situation at VIadivostok.
Nagasaki, Nov. 26, 10 a. ma for
eigner who left Vladivostok last Mon
day says that during the past month
twenty steamers have arrived at
Vladivostok, bringing coal and sun
dries He also confirms Vladivostok
reports that the Russian protected
cruiser Bogatyr, while not docked, is
unserviceable and is supported forward
by pontoons. The armored cruiser
Gromoboi has, he says, 25 frames
broken and is badly strained. Repairs
on her will require some months.
A submarine boat which was
brought from ST. Petersburg has COM
pIeted several trials satisfactorily.
The location of the harbor defense
mines is uncertain, and as a result tor
pedo boat No. 20S has been sunk and
a German steamer has been damaged
by coming in contract with mines.
Officials Are Criticized.
St. Petersburg, Nov. ga corre-
spondent returning to the front after
having been wounded at Lao Yang
and convalescing at Moscow, writes
from IrkutSk severely criticiSings the
traffic arrangement of the Siberian
railway He says that hospital trains
after diScharging wounded at Moscow
are returning to the front absolutely
empty, though the hospitals both in
the field and at the base urgently need
medicine, bandages and surgical ap-
pliances, and the only excuse for not
sending them has been the alleged
lack of transportation facilities on the
railway. The correspondent says
enough empty trains are going back to
the front not only to carry hospital
material, but that they could easily
hasten the arrival of reinforcements.
The correspondent describes the hos
pital arrangement at Irkutsk, Omsk
and eliabinsk as wholly made
quate, while the frequent transfers of
the wounded from train to train en-
tail unnecessary hardship. Almost all
the suffering from the congestion of
traffic, it is added, is due to the adj
ministrative inability of the officers.

ENGLISH LORD IN AMERICA.
Fairfax, of Came ron, Makes His II Om c on ffis Estates In This
 Country.

Lord Fairfax, of Cameron, is the only Englishman of title who makes his home in this couutry. He is the twelfth of line which, since the early part of the eighteenth century, has been more American than British. Tie sixth baron. who was born in 1692, inherited from his mother several est es. among them being huge tract Of laRo in Nir- ginia, says the Philadelphia .ie>s.
 Like most of his anccstCr. he was a soldier, but. visiting his American es- iaIes about 1139, he was sc tahen with the beauty of the new world tha, he resoived to pass the rena uGer of his life upon his possessions here. lie built on his estates two handsome houses and lived in them in a state of haronral hospitality. His dress was plain and simple. his manners were modest and unaffected, but his style of living was magnificent
 Such was his generosity that he gave up his English estates 10 his brother Robert, and the surplus, large one. of his income he divided among his poorer neighbors in Virginia. Best of all. he provided Thackeray with the inspiration for 1.-The Virginans."

EATING ACCORDING TO SEX.
Man Needs More Food and Air Than Woman Because He Expends
 More Energy.

The layman will not be little aston ished at the claim made by the London Lancet that the male human needs more food than the female: not only on account of his larger stature. but also because he is the more katabolic of the two. The man tends to expend energy. and the woman to store it up in the form of fat; he burns the faster; this sexual difference shows itself in the very blood; the man has a larger percentage of chromocytes than the woman, showing that he needs q pro- portionately larger quantity of oxygen in order to maintain this more active combustion. Moreover. weight for weight. his pulmonary capacity is greater than that of the woman whose smaller respiratory need is further shown by the facility with which she can without discomfort diminish her breathing power by means of the cor set. Attention may be drawn to the fact that men are apt to be larger meat eaters than women, just as they are, possibly in consequence of this very fact. more prone to drinking al- cohol and smoking tobacco.

Fined The Corpse.

A good story is going the rounds about an Alaska commissioner For its accuracy we will not vouch but it is characteristic of Alaska law and we herewith give it.
 From a wreck or some other source a corpse floated on the beach and was secured by one of the in- habitants and tied to stake. The commissioner was notified and h. went to the beach accompanied by his marshal. The body was ex- amined and tie first thing found was a large frontier revolver. The court immediately went into ses- sion and the case was tried. The dead man was fined $15 for carry ing concealed weapons, and strange to say the exac, amount was found upon his person. The gun was confscated.

JOINING THE FRENCH LEGION.
No Questions Asked or Proofs of Identity Required of stranger
 Appiicanta.

It Is well-known that no questions are asked of persons wishing to join the French Foreign Legion, and that no proofs of identity are required. As matter of fact there have been cases of Frenchmen volunteering for service in the legion, which is re- served for foreign subjects, under a false name and nationality, says a London paper. A certain delay. never iheless. occurs between the applica- tion and its acceptance, and there appears to be belief current among the working classes that in order to hasten the necessary formalities it is sufficient to get locked up, it being supposed that the police authorities take the matter in hand and push it forward. A bricklayer named Al phonse Fade has found out to his cost that this belief has no serious foundation. September Is he called at one of the Paris police stations and requested the inspector on duty to arrest him for vagrancy. The re- quest being refused. Pade smashed a window and this had the desired ef- feet. In the police court he said that he had acted in this way in order to be admitted into the foreign legion more rapidly. as he could get no work in Paris. The judge asked how long an interval was required to con clude the formalities, and on being informed that the average was one month, sent Fade to prison for that time
