JOLLY POP SUCKERS.
Sanitary Inspector Noses After Deal-
 CTS Who Take Back Sticks,

Lol1ypops are bound to remain in the public gaze Every day some thing new crops out about them. They have become so conspd pdcuous that they have attracted the attention of the health authorities, Sanitary Inspector. Moses in particular. MT Moses has discovered new game in regard to lollypops. He has found that boys are engaged in collecting the sticks from which the candy has been sucked and returning them to the owners of certain stores, who gives them a lollypop for a certain number of sticks. It Is said that the sticks, the majority of which are in an un- clean and filthy condition, are again used to hold candy The sanitary inspector was in candy store to-day when several boys entered, each carry ing a bunch of sticks, which they at- tempted to sell. But the dealer would not take them.
 The sanitary inspector questioned the boys and they stated that the dealer had advertised that he would give lollypop for a certain number of sticks, but the candy maker proved that this statement was false. How ever. it is fact that certain dealers have made it known to the boys that they would repurchase the sticks and many have been collected and re turned to the stores.
 The sanitary inspector, however, is determined to put an end to this un- healthy and disease breeding practice and he warns all the candy dealers that they will be severely dealt with If any one of them is discovered in the act He insists that the health of little boys and girls shall not be endangered by sucking candy from sticks which have been used a dozen or. more times.

St Petersburg, Aug Is (3:18 p. m.l- The news of the defeat of the Vladivos- tok squadron has added another crushing blow to the reverse before Port Arthur No public announcement has yet been made of the sinking ot the Rurik
 The Chefoo report of the sortie ot Russian warships from Port Arthur naturally cannot be confirmed and the admiralty is puzzled to know whether it refers to the ships which remained dn the harbor when the main squadron went out August 10 or to ships of the late Admiral Withoft's original squad ron. Tn either event, however 1t is construced as evidence that the shells Of the Japanese land batteries are fall. ing on the harbor, rendering it impos, sible for the' ships to remain there any longer.
 It is also interpreted in some quar- ters as indicating the eve of the storming of the fortress.
