Expense.

Washington.-Afte a study and re-
search covering period of many years
the bureau of forestry has at last been
able to announce lne success of new
form of railroad tie, "the half round
rle," which, it is claimed, will greatly
minimize maintenance expenses and,
in conjunction with the introduction of
appliances known as screw spikes and
screw dowals, bids fair to become a
great blessing to the railroad industry
OF this country. Arrangements are al
ready under way Tor the extensive in
PRODUCTION of the appliances, the need
of which has been felt so pronounced
~ OF late.
The government report recently sub
mirted contains some valuable infor-
nation on this subject, and it says:
The annual consumption of ties on
2O5,132 miles of railroad track in this
country is 114,000,0OO, and it is yearly
becoming harder TO meet this demand.

Old Soldiers Story

Sonoma, Mich, June 13.-That even
in actual warfare disease is more ter
rible than bullets is the experience of
Delos Hutchins of this place. Mr..
Hutchins as Union Soldier saw three
years of service under Butler Barke in
the Louisiana swamps and as a result
got crippled with rheumatism so that
his hands and feet got all twisted out
of shape and how he suffered only a
Rheumatic will ever know.
For twenty-five years he was in mis-
cry, then one lucky day his druggist
advised him to use Oodd's Kidney Pills.
OF the result Mr.. Hutchins says:
1.-The first two boxes did not help
me much but l got two more and before
| got them used up was great deal
better. l kept on taking them and
now my pains are all gone and 1 feel
better than l have in years. l know

JAPANESE VICTORIOUS.

The Seoul correspondent of the Lon
don Daily Mail says that in an engage
ment March 29 which Japanese infantry
had with Cossacks between Anju and
Chong Ju the Japanese were victorious,
but lost so killed. This is the section
of Korea in which the first engagements
OF importance on land were expected.
Russian reports intimate that the Japa-
nese military forces are becoming ag-
q essive. ..
Reports from the general Russian staff
say the japanese skirmishers are more
enterprising, and that more outpost al
fairs NAV henceforth be expected.
As expected, japanese advices shed
different light upon Vice Admiral Togo's
latest move upon Port Arthur. A teIe-
gram received at Toxic from Niuchwang
states that the japanese succeeded III
sinking four steamers at the mouth OF
Port Arthur harbor. A fotilla Of de-
stroyers conveyed the merchantmen,
which we're subsequently sunk, and res
cued the volunteer crews. Later the
Japanese battleships bombarded the town
and its defenses.
The civil administrator late Sunday
evening n,tifed all the foreign consuls
and residents OF Viceroy Alexieff' s
order placing the city and port OF
Niuchwang under martial law, ex-
planning that it had been so ordered
for the purpose OF safeguarding the
commercial interests of the port.
The opinion of leading foreign residents
and officials is that, although the rights
of neutrals remain unaltered by treaty.
Russia assumes the power to annul these
rights; also consular jurisdiction and ex-
territoriality rendering the position OF
foreign consuls untenable. In some
quarters the order is regarded as an ap-
parent challenge to neutral powers, es'
pecially TO China, on account OF the APP
preparation of her territory, and that 1t
renders the United States gunboat Hele-
ma and the British cruiser Espiegle liable
to an order to leave port. The consuls
will await instruction from their respec-
tive governments, inasmuch as there Is
no law to guide the conSuls' actions. The
property and trade interests ofthe foreign
residents are prepared to be abandoned.
The foreign consuls had a conference
with the civil administrator yesterday.
The latter informed them that the full
intention of Russia's order of Sunday
was to proclaim martial law, and also to
annul consular jurisdiction, and that the
same already was annulled. The Ameri-
cans at Niuchwang call attention to the
apparent defeat of Americans regarding
the placing of consuls in Manchuria by
the execution of Russia order Ameii'
can and British flags were yesterday re-
moved by the Russian military from the
property of citizens of American or Brit
ish nationality

Assumed His Title.

Mr.. Albert Kirby Fairfax, eldest son
of the late DR.. John Contee Fairfax, of
Prince Georges county, Nd, and the in
heritor of his titles of Lord Fairfax and
Baron Cameron in the peerage of Scot
land, has recently assumed these titles
and has taken his seat among his peers
in the British House of Lords.
When Mr.. Fairfax went to England,
two years ago, it was with no intention
of appearing in that country as any
other than an unassuming American
citizen. The object of his change Of
residence was simply the acceptance OF a
clerkship offered him in a London bank.
His claims to distinction, however,
were too we'll known for him to remain
in obscurity and he was from the first
sought out by those among whom his
rightful position was we'll known. With
in the past four months he has been
legally adopted by wealthy English
man as the heir to his estates, and was
finally persuaded into wearing the titles
which he is now able TO support in a
fitting manner.
Mrs. Tunstall Smith, of Baltimore, is
a sister of Lord Fairfax, and two other
sisters, the Misses Fairfax, also make
their winter home in Baltimore. His
mother, Mrs. John Contee Fairfax, re-
sides partly at the old family estate in
Prince Georges county and partly in
New York, where Mr.. Edward Fairfax
and the youngest sister, Mrs. Rhett,
formerly Miss Frances Fairfax, have
their homes.
Although the title of Lord Fairfax
was worn in this country by the greal
lord proprietor of the Northern Neck OF
Virginia, the friend and patron Of Gen
eral Washington, it has never been al
lowed to lapse through continuous resi-
dence in this country, being confirmed
forever to the family here, as elsewhere,
By a special grant Of the crown. 1t ha:
not been assumed for several genera
tions. the successive inheritors, as
rule, entering profession and prefer
ring simply the designation Of doctor
thus acquired.

braries under the act just passed fol-
that purpose:
Gentlemen: The general assembly

literature. Our State board Of educa-
tion will meet within about month

total amount may reach $40, ,000. OF
course, cannot foretell what books
the State board will adopt, but |
should like for you to send me jany
information you may have on this
subject. AS an indication of how you
would bid on our list, should like
for you to make bid On the enclosed
list. We hope to get this matter in
shape for the schools to begin to re-
ceive the books /. the 1st of April at
least. Sincerely yours,
