battleships Retvizan and Czarevitch ana
the cruiser Pallada would be ready TO re-
sumo service In a fortnight. He declared
that the separation of the Russian squad

finally confirmed the statement that the
Mediterranean squadron would return TO
Libau when that port is free from ice.

the Russians are terrifying the mouth of
the Yalu. at Witu, as well as the TantuaS
river.

MAssAoED BACK TO LIFE.
The Human Heart Revived from
Death by Means Of Marvel
Gus Operation.

Massaging back to life a human heart
that has ceased to beat is the marvellous
operation three times successfully per-
formed by modern surgery. A Philadel-
phia physician, DIR. w. w. Keen, is au-
thority for the statement that two of the
people thus brought back from the gates
of death are now alive and healthy.
If this operation is finally established
as a successful feature of surgery, OBJ
serves the Chicago Tribune, both lay
men and scientists look forward to the
following important results: k4
l. A material lessening of the number
of deaths which occur while the patient
is under the influence of ether or chlorp-
form.
2. The possibility of a remedy and a
cure for that dreaded and mysterious all
ment known to science as catalepsy. Z
3. A removal of the awful dread Of
being buried alive.
DR.. Keen does not stand sponsor fol
all these cfaims. But he does assert that
life apparently extinct has been renewed
by continuing the hearts closed pulsa-
ton through massage. In a case re-

had been apparent 10 the physicians and
nurses for five minutes before an opera
tion was undertaken. Then the surgeon
in charge deliberately cut open The dia-
phragm, reached for theheart, and cmz
ployed the massage treatment. At the
end of five minutes, after repeated chat
ing, the heart resumed its beating, and
respiration was restored nv artificial
means. In two other recorded cases the
patients were brought back to life aud
the operation was entirely successful.
1t is related that some of the great
surgeons of Europe who have been
working upon this theory have spent
many years in experimenting on dumb
animals. In quite a number of their
cases the hearts of dogs that have been
frozen for so hours after the supposed
death have had their ~pulsation restored
BY massage.
Physicians shake their heads over the
possibility Of the new treatment being
applied to restore those attacked by
cakalepsy. But If it could be employed

act Summary Vengeance.
VICTIM or ATTACK is VERY Low
Leader of the Gang was Arrested
In Columbia and Confessed to
the 0utrage-The Prison
ers Fear Mo- Law.

PHILADELPHIA, July S.-Through
| the good work of the New Jersey and
| Pennsylvania authorities, coupled with
fortunate circumstances, all the negroes
| implicated in the assault on Mrs.
| Charles Biddle at her home near u
lington, N. j., are now under arrest.
| Aaron Timbers, the leader of the at
lacking party, and Jonas Sims are in
the Lancaster county Pa) Jail, having
been captured in Columbia, near Ian
caster; William Austin is in Moya-
mensing prison here, and Thomas
Jones is in the Burlington county jail
at Mount Holly. The machinery Of
the law for the transfer of the three
men in Pennsylvania jails to New Jer-
sey has already been set in motion.
For fear that the citizens of Burling-
ton might take the law into their OWE
hands the authorities of that county
have promised a speedy trial for the
accused men.
Public clamor for vengeance increas-
ed when it became known that Mrs.
Biddle had collapsed under the strain.
She lapsed into semiconsciousness,
coming to her senses only to go into
a series of spasms. The family physi-
clan was in attendance most of the
day. At one time her condition was
so serious that it was deemed best to
send for all the relatives of the fam
lily.
There is no denying the fact that
there is still danger of trouble if Tim
bers and his companions are 500 TAX
en- to Burlington. Expressions are
heard on all sides that the farmers Of
the county and citizens of Burlington
should not wait for the slow moving
of the law. The county authorities,
however, are taking every precaution
and feel confident they will be able to
meet any overt act that might be at
tempted. 1t is possible that the three
prisoners in this state will not be taken
TO New Jersey until the feeling against
the men has Gained down.
Timbers and Sims were arrested in
Columbia, and after confessing to their
part In the outrage they were taken to
the county Jail at Lancaster. Timbers
says there were only three in the par
ty-Austin, Sims and himself. Sims
disclaims all knowledge of anything
that transpired upstairs and says he
never Went beyond the first floor,
where he had been placed o. guard.
Timbers, Sims and Austin are almost
crazed from fear. They begged the Of
ficers not to take them to Burlington
county, because they. feel sure that
they will be roughly handled.
Austin was given a hearing before a
local magistrate and committed to
await the action Of the New Jersey au-
thorities.

CHINESE AS BANK CLERKS
Their Methods Appear Primitive Yet
Their Calculation Is Rapid
and Accurate.

China has a way of getting hold Of
some Of the first principles Of things,
even though she may not have devel-
oped them into elaborate and scien-
tifc systems. The method of calcu-
lation used in the Chinese banks may
seem primitive to the foreigner; never
theless 1t is carried on with rapidity
and accuracy, says Youths Companion.
An English officer, staying in Hong
Kong, tells of his visit to one of the
banks.
AS an Englishman he was received
with great ciyility. "Schroff!" shouted
the head clerk. This word is not, as
it sounds, German, but a corruption
of the Hindu "~sarraf," or bankers as
sistant. In response to the call a ma
tive cashier appeared, noiseless and
deferential. with a smooth-shaven
skull, a four-foot pigtail and spotless,
flowing garments. He carried neither
paper moi pencil about him.
With great rapidity he made the de-
sired exchange Of notes, doing his cal
culating on> an abacus-a frame of
wire anu DtduS, SlIulldI " tuOSc uSSu
in country schools years ago. His
long, 1.-the fingers moved over the
beads more quickly than the y could
follow, but there was M mistake in
the total.
The officer wanted a large piece of
money changed into small coin. In
stead of going through the WEAKNESS
involved in counting out the 300
pieces included in this transaction, a
simple, ingenious device was en-
ployed. A fiat, wooden tray was pro-
duced containing 100 recesses, each
just big enough to lodge one coin and
just shallow enough to prevent the
possibility of two lurking together.
The Pile Of small coins poured out
on this tray, and with one jerk of the
clerks wrist the hundred recesses
were filed and the surplus swept off.
During the performance the clerk kept
his m sleeves tucked well up,
in order to disarm any possible sus-
picion of dexterous pilfering.
che officers change was correct to
the last penny, and was obtained in
an Incredibly short time.
