PREFER DEATH TO CAPTURE
Reason for Surrender of So Few Jap anese xplained- They Re-
 fuse Quarters.

E H +
 So infinitegimal is the number of pris- oners taken by the Russians since the outbreak of the present conflict in the far orient that people here and in Eu- rope, ignorant of the Japanese character, have assumed that the Muscovite troops were granting no quarter. and have de- nounced their methods of warfare as barbarous. This is an unjust charge. If the Russians have so few prisoners. 1t is not that the czar's soldiers refrain from giving any quarter. but because the Japanese refuse to accept fl, preferring death by their own hands to the dis- grace of surrender. For surrender. save in certain exceptional cases, such as that of besieged town, or when wound ed, is, according to military ethics, dis honorable.

 When ultimately Jackson, the negro who had assaulted MT. Roxbury, was caught, Gordon was again chosen as the one to conduct Miss ThOmasch to and from the court house for the pur- pose of giving further evidence Jack son was found guilty, sentenced to death, and finally electrocuted at Sing Sing. At the time of the murder Cor don'sg wife was living, but she died soon after the trial and subsequently the policeman proposed to Miss Thom- asch and was accepted.
 Mrs Gordon was interviewed" soon after the wedding, when she informed B reporter that until she met her hus- band she had always disliked police. men. T never had a high opinion of police officers" !" she said. and, in fact, was more or less prejudiced against them. Mr. Gordon was the most po- lite policeman ever met, and he treat cd me with such unusual courtesy that I. naturally fell in love with him. and now we are very happy"
 There is at the present time in the British police force in the north an officer who first met his wife under circumstances which one would hard ly expect to lead to the altar. This official was one day on duty outside a big department store, when ? sales man dashed out and informed him that his presence was required in case of shop-lifting. The young officer en- tered. the shop, where he was com manded to arrest 3 modestly-attired young woman, who was accused of stealing a small piece of lace She had been searched and the property found on her, SO there was nothing to be done but take her to the station. She looked 50 very young, and ap- peared So frightened that the officer kindly dispatched a messenger for a cab, and into this he quietly bundled the young woman and conveyed her to the police court. where she was duly charged" It was conclusively proved that she had undoubtedly stolen the lace; indeed, she pleaded guilty" but as 1t was first offense she was given the option" of fine of E2 or week s Imprisonment. As the money was not forthcoming the girl was taken below, but half an hour later 1t was paid and the girl liberated with caution.
 It afterwards transpired that the po- K liceman who had arrested her had paid the money, and as soon as the girl dis covered this she made inquiries, found out where he lived, wrote him letter of grateful thanks, and returned the money. In this way the acquaintance, begun under such adverse circum- stances, ripened into friendship, and in less than three months the two were narried-the, alliance proving an un- usually happy one.

Jewels in St. Pierre Ruins.

Capt Belano, of the steamship Ha- waiian. reached Philadelphia recently from Hilo and entertained group of friends with description of Mont Pe- lee, St. Pierre and Martinique as they are to-day. The volcano is now en- tirely extinct, he says, and the place has come to be very attractive to tour- lsts, hundreds of whom visit the scene of one of the worlds greatest tragedies every day. He states that the search for jewels and money continues in the ruins, and will, in his opinion, until every house site on the island has been ralTed over g score of times. The once beautiful city of St. Pierre Is now a graveyard:
 sparpOws, 1t has been observed, will gaze at their plumage in mirrors for hours together if undfsturbed.

were in support of that contention.
Whether free and unrestrained competi-
ton was wise, he said, was an economic
question with which the court need not
concern itself; the question was that of
statutory law.
The suit was instituted by the United
States against the Northern Securities
Company and the three railroad COM
panics-the Northern Pacific, the Great
Northern and the Burlington-and their
leading stockholders for the purpose of
dissolving the merger Of the two roads,
which the United States declared had
been created by the formation Of hold
Ing company. This consolidation was al
legged to be in violation of the Sherman
antitrust law. 1t was claimed on be-
half of the government that the CONSOLE
datlon was in effect q pool created to
promote the interests not Of one system
at the expense OF the other, but Of both
at the expense Of the public The rail-
roads claimed that the transfer Of the
stock of the two companies to the securi-
ties company was in the nature Of sale
and perfectly legitimate.

the journey from one end Of the complet-
ed tunnel to the other. SO great had
been the accuracy of the plans of Chief
Engineer Charles NJ. Jacobs that when
the ends of the tunnel met there was not

the shield forward for the last time ana

sition it was found that the joining of
the two sections had been exactly in line,

TO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES.
Plan of Philadelphia Physicians as a
Cure for Consumptiou

ian OF fhiiadclphta Physicians as q
Cure for Consumption.
A new idea for the treatment of tu-
berculosis has been adopted in Philadel-
phia where patients suffering from the
disease are to live in glass houses. The
institution will be known as the phila
dclphia hospital, which comprises six
payilions, each to accommodate 1S na-
tients. There is no more metal about
the paviions than is actually required
for frame work, and surrounding each
pavilion is n siX-foot porch enclosed with
glass. The inside glass is ribbed suffi-
GENTLY to make it Opaque and is set in
frames reaching 20 feet above the floor
and arranged to open automatically like
doors The glass of the porches is clear
and transparent. The buildings NAV be
occupied during both summer and win
ter. The heating apparatus in the base
ment includes a blower which forces
the warm air through metal conduits into
the apartment where the patient is re-
celving treatment. The floor in each
pavilion is of cement and in the rear of
each IS glazed brick structure contain
ing the kitchen, bath and toilet rooms.
Inc cost OF constructing the glass houses
was $114,0O0.
