General StOeSSel
Sacrifices War Vessels

OHE FOO. Nov. l6. The Russian
topedo boat DESTROYER Rastorophy,
which reached this harbor from Port
Arthur early this morning bearing dis.
patches from General Stoessel to the
Czar has been blown up to prev it
falling to the hands of the Japanese.
1t is rumored that the Loat brought
q dispatch from General Stoessel ask.
ing the st. Petersburg authorities for
instructions . to whether lie would
continue to hold ont, awaiting reliet
or make immediate arrangements with
the Japanese for surrender upon the
most advantageous terms possible.
This rumor cannot be confirmed but
it is obvious that only dispatches of
the highest Importance would impel
General Stoessel to risk the loss of a
warship. by sending her out upon such
mission, in face of the rigid blockade
maintained off Pvrt Arthur by the
japanese fleet. The Ratsorpuy brought
number of copies of the Novakrai, a
Pert Arthur newspaper.
Ii Que of the issues it is stated that
while Japanese destroyer was laying
mines OH Nov. II she WAS surprised by
the battleship Retvizau and sunk. Her
commander declared all forts remain
ed in Russian hands aud that the gar
rson was in good spirits aud confident.

vices from Lieutenant General Stoes-
sci aud rear Admiral Wren, brought
by the Russian torpedo boat destroyer
Rastoropny to Che Foo have reached
the emperor but have not yet beer
made public.
The great Importance of the infor-
nation is apparent from the fact that
the torpedo boat destroyer was delib-
erately sacrificed in order to get the
communications from the beleagured
garrison. The only word which has
reached the admiralty is a telegram
from the captain of the Rastorophy,
announcing his arrival with official
dispatches.
An attempt Of the Japanese to repeat
the Ryeshitelni incident in Chinese is
confirmed. The captain reports that
the Rastoropny will be disarmed and
hauled out ON the shore TO prevent the
possibility of the Japanese entering
tie harbor and forcibly towing her

Told OF Hidden Wealth.

An hour before he died William
Paulus Of Butztown, near Easton, re-
vealed to relatives gathered at his
bedside the hiding place of sum of
money, but for which none was to
look till after he had breathed his
last. A short time after he had ex-
pired the search for the money was
begun. In a dilapidated carpenter
shop, in roughly constructed wood
en- box under the rafters WAS found
$2.0 in bills, gold and silver.
Paulus was farmer and bachelor.
He owned q 100 acre farm, and no

Animals Asleep.

That baby once sound asleep
must on no account be awakened, is
one of the cast iron laws of physicians
and nurses. But few people ever stop
to consider that the same rule holds
good with the young of every other
animal. Hardly any one, even the
plofessed lover of domestic pets, feels
the slightest conjunction about
snatching upa puppy curled in
tempting furry tail, and a sleeping
kitten is even more the butt for this
species of rude imposition. Sleep is
regarded as a luxury for a little play
thing of this kind, whose mission in
life is to assume and divert. So no.
body makes any bones OF waking it
up either roughly or by series OF
furtive caresses and the sleepy mite
often tries in vain for the rest that is
so essential TO its comfort and health.
Particularly is this the case where
there are small children in the family.
1t is all very well to want to have a
puppy to bring with baby, but the
puppy usually gets the worst of the
bargain. Animals mature so much
more rapidly than the young of the
human race that by the time the baby
is a lad of ten, the puppy that grew
up with him is an elderly dog. A
dog OF twelve is venerable, while n
boy of twelve is in the heyday of
boisterous animal spirits and love
of teasing. Aged animals, like very
young animals, should be allowed
their little snoozes and forty winks
without risk Of interruption.
