Years ago the British parliament
passed a bill for the rebuilding Of
lail at Chelmsford. It was agreed that
the prisoners should be confined to
the old Jail while the new one was
building The new one, however, was
to be constructed from the materials
of the old one. In the reign Of King
William w. statute was passed fix
ing the punishment Of fourteen years
transportation for II particular offense.
1t added: Upon conviction, one-half
thereof shall go TO the king and one
half to the informer. Just why the
king should be transported for half

found it impossible to explain, since

Live for the =ujvino.

A new mound rose near the foothills
And my heart was llndcrnoath;
My friends We're good, for they sfrcwed
With blossom and clin@ing wreath;
A voice came, borne on the stiffness:
although the way seem hard be true;
On--live thy life for the living
AS the dead have lived for you
I raised my hand unto heaven
And a pledge | made that day.
(The Voice had shown mo my duty,
And light shown or the way)
And these, the words of the promise
That my constant guide shall be:
9Th live my life for the living,
AS the dead have lived for me-
The dead since earth was created,
Lived they not for you and me?
They made tine world that we live in

The Truth About Mount Sinai.

Was Mount Sinai a volcano? Prof.
Hermann Gunkel of Berlin answers in
the affirmative. He bases his argu.
ment on various incidents SGT out IN
the Old Testament. Thus, Sodom
and Gomorrah were destroyed by q
rain of fire and ashes. Again, In
Exodus we are told that black cloud
hung over the mountain; thunder and
lightning appeared, and the ole
mountain stirred. Taking them to
eether, the professor considers that
Sinai was an active volcano, toward
which Moses led his people, who saw
in the fury of an eruption the express,
sion of the wrath of heaven.

DRIVEN ACROSS The STREAM
RUSSIANS LOSE ONLY POSITION
HELD BY THEM SOUTH OF
SHAkHE RIVER.

General Kuroki's Headquarters in
the Field, via Fusan, Oct. ,29.-The
Japanese gave stirring exhibition of
sharp and determined fighting Thurs
day. They drove the Russians from a
high hill ten miles east Of the railroad
in General Kuroki's front, which is
important strategically as post Of
observation, and was the only point
south of the Shakhe river which the
Russians held. About regiment of
Russians were entrenched there, with
five machine guns.
The Japanese rushed the Russian
trenches, shot many Russians as they
were running down the hillside and
captured two machine guns. The
Japanese had twenty men killed and
eighty wounded The Russians left
thirty dead on the field. There was
hand-to-hand fighting when the trench
es were taken. The Russians retired
across the river. When the Japanese
flag was raised over a tower surmount-
ing the hill the Russian batteries
showered shrapnel on it for an hour,
but without result.

NO TORPEDO BOATS THERE.
Fishermen Deny Report of Admiral
Roiestvensky.

London, Oct. 29.-In reply to an in
quiry regarding the alleged presence
of torpedo boats among the Hull fish
ing fleet DR.. Jackson, solicitor of the
owners of the fleet, wires as follows:
Il have personally interviewed the
crews of the Moulmein, Mino and Gull
and the boatswain of the Crane and
the other men from the Crane. They
unanimously and emphatically deny
Admiral Rojestvensky's suggestion
concerning vessels like torpedo boats
moving rapidly among the fishing
feet, which they characterize as
fabrication. Trawlers could not be
mistaken for war vessels nor our fish
ermen for Japanese.
"The steam trawler Kennett has
sent in report that the last Russian
vessel fired at her at a. M, the shot
passing between her funnel and fore
mast. The Moulmein and the Mino
saw the Russians at a. m. and 6
a. M raSpectiyely"

REITERATEs HIS STATEMENT.
Rojestvensky Positive of Presence of
Torpedo Boats.

London, Oct. 29.-The Daily Chron-
icle publishes an interview had with
Admiral Rojestvensky at Vigo which
gives few interesting statements not
yet published. The admiral is quoted
as saying that when the vessels of the
Russian squadron found themselves
surrounded by the fishing fleet the
warships had to stop their engines
continually so as not to get their
screws entangled in the nets. The
warships frequently gave way to the
trawlers. Suddenly the cruiser Au-
rora saw ahead two torpedo boats COM
ing towards the squadron at full speed.
She turned her searchlight on them
and then noticed two floating mines
close to her An order to fire On the
torpedo boats was Immediately given,
with the result that one of them was
sunk and the other escaped and was
lost sight of among the trawlers.
The admiral added there were two
men injured on his flagship One, a
priest, had a hand shot off. Six shots
fired during the incident hit the Rus
sian vessels. The Aurora was hit and
has not yet been repaired.
