ANTIQUE CHAIRS TO ORDER
Paris Woodworkers Devise Scheme
for Giving Furniture Desired
Worm Eaten Appearance.

The vast industry maintained in Paris
to pawn off fake curios and antiquitie )
on unsuspecting Croesuses has hit upon
a new plan. Ticks" or wood fretters,
required to give psuedo-antique furni-
ture an air of old age, are now "culti-
waited" in large droves on potatoes.
Formerly they were hard to obtain, but
now there are millions of the vermin.
The fallirs let loose the wood fretters
on the imitation furniture before it is
painted or vanished. They are allowed
to work" for about six weeks-if they
worked longer the chair sofa, or table
would fall into dust. After six weeks
the worms are killed by discharge of
X rays. Only then the piece of furni-
ture is painted and upholstered and
ready for the antique parlor.

Do you remember long and long ago,

You would awaken, trembling in your

When some fearsome things, which only

They were but waving shadows OH the

And how she wove into lullaby

And you remember long and long ago,
How every little fret of night or day
Before her talisman when whispered low,

LAND MINE EXPLODED.

Che Foo, Sept. "a japanese col
umn, numbering about 700 men,
while marching along at night on a
road in the valley between Long Hill
and Division Hill, near Port Arthur,
met a frightful disaster through the
explosion of an electric land mine
September |. The mine was carefully
laid by the Russians three weeks ago.
1t covered nearly a mile of available
marching space.
Near midnight the outposts rushed
in and reported that the Japanese
were approaching. The Russians
withheld their fire for some time. Sud
denly they threw a searchlight up the
valley. The Japanese opened with a
rife fire. The Russians waited until
apparently the whole Japanese col
umn was in the danger zone. Then
the mine was exploded. The force of
the explosion knocked a number of
Russians down, and the sight of Japa-
nese rifles, water bottles, legs and
arms hurting through the lighted
space made by the searchlight was an
awful spectacle. Some rocks landed
inside the Russian lines.
The best information of the war of
fee indicates that Kuropatkin lost
about 1900 men during the ten days
battle at Liao Yang.

RUSSIANS REACHED MUkoEN.

Paris, Sept. S.-The St. Petersburg
correspondent OF the Echo De Paris
says:
"A great battle is going on before
Mukden. The First and Seventeenth
corps are engaged against Gen Kuroki
Gen. Kuropatllin with the bulk of his
troops is moving towards Telling"
ST. Petersburg, Sept. S.-The bulk
OF the Russian Manchurian 2Tmy is
near Mukden, where, it appears, Gen.
Kuropatkin has been since Monday.
His troops are not entering the city,
but are taking up positions around
Mukden. While there is no specific in
formation on this point, the general
staff believes that only a small rear
guard is in the neighborhood of Yen
tai.
The general staff is not displaying
great anxiety over the reports that
Gen. Kuropatkin is in serious danger
of being cut off, but if they had any
information from the front Wednes-
day they have not revealed it, The
members also decline to say, even if
they knew, whether Kuropatkin pur-
poses taking his army north of Muk-
den.
KurOpatkin's movements, after all,
must depend chiefly on the tactics of
the Japanese, with whom lies the
initiative. If the japanese continue to
press north in the hope of cutting off
the Russians and bringing them to
bay, then Kuropatkin will be obliged
to move north to circumvent them.

So It was decided. On the first
day of October Gus carried Tom and
his little handful of belongings down
to Watauga in the wagon, and after
seeing him properly settled in his
new world, turned his own face again
toward Stump House.
1t was dark when the wagon rolled
into the yard. After the mules had
been stabbed and fed, Gus stood for
few moments looking silently across
the mountains as the night slowly
fell around them and blotted them
from view. In the window of a
cabin across on RoundtoD a red light
flickered, and there came to his ears
the sound of a girls mellow contral-
to voice singing an old corn-shuck
ing song.
"Leastways. I'll be near Annie" he
said, with almost a sigh. Then he
walked slowly across the yard and
entered the house.

QUIET REIGNS

There is still a lack of specific in
formation regarding the exact stua-
tion in Manchuria The Russian gen
eral staff, lacking details, Is unable to
speak authoritatively, while advices
from Japanese sources are significant
ly lacking 1t is established that the
Russian army is safely at Mukden
and that the retreat was accomplished
in good order, in spite of the harras-
sing Japanese, sodden roads, and the
fact that Kuropatkin was hampered
by more than 10000 wounded.
There is nothing yet to indicate the
exact whereabouts of the three Japa-
nese armies. When last heard from
Kurold's forces were on the Russian
left flank and steadily pushing north
word, but Viceroy Alexieff reports
that railway and telegraph communi-
cation between Mukden and Harbin Is
uninterrupted. Gen. Sakharoff reports
that there was no fighting during
Thursday and while the outposts are
still in contact they are not even eX-
changing shots. 1t seems to be estab-
lished that Oyama's troops practically
abandoned on Wednesday the attempt
to head off kuropatkin, and that the
last determined effort to bring the
Russian commander to bay was made
on Tuesday.
The last news from Mukden came
in dispatch filed Friday night. 1t
tells of a great downpour of rain, ac-
companied by thunder and lightning,
which the correspondent says, is con
sidered advantageous, as it has check
ed the movements of the Japanese
eastern and southern armies The
correspondent adds that quiet reigns
over the whole front.
ST Petersburg, Sept. 10.-Some de
scriptions of the scenes along the line
of retreat are almost incredible. They
tell how the men laid down in the
mud and slept in q drenching rain and
without shelter.
The work of burying the dead was
left to the Japanese, who were forced
to attempt the task as a matter Of
self preservation but it was almost
impossible. The awful rains have
handicapped the work of cremation on
which the Japanese relied and only
shallow trench burials were possible
under the circumstances. Not only is
this work one of the greatest diff
Guilty, but it is almost valueless from
sanitary point of view, the storms un-
doing it soon after it IS accomplished.
Hot Spring Stopped Work on Tunnel.
Rome, Sept 10.-Work on the Sim
plon tunnel which it was expected
would be completed by the beginning
of next month, was suddenly stopped
Friday, owing to the exposure of a
hot spring flowing 1900 gallons per
minute, while the temperature in the
tunnel reached 112 degrees. Refriger-
ators will be installed and the work
resumed month from date. The
Simplon tunnel, which is being cut
through Simplon mountain, will be
21,374 yards l2ng, and it has already
been pierced for a distance of 21,142
yards. ---------

The Poe Amendment

There is but one side to the question as to
whether the signature of the Governor is
necessary to bill submitting an amendment
to the Constitution to the qualified voters for
adoption or rejection. The whole matter OF
amending the Constitution is contained in
Article IA of the Constitution. Article 2, Sec
ton II, requires that every bill, before it be-
comes law, shall be submitted to the Gov
srnor for his approval or disapproval, and the
object of this is ITO guard against hasty or
partial legislation" 1t cannot be contended
that bill to submit proposition to amend
the Constitution to the people for their ap-
proval or rejection is legislation within the
meaning of Article 2, Section II. All other
bills must be presented to the Governor, and
they become laws when signed by the Execu-
tive. The Governors approval is necessary to
complete the act of the Legislature, unless by
inaction it becomes operative without his
signature. If the Governor does notapproye
of a bill and vetoes it, it fails to become a
law, unless it be repassed by three-ffths
vote of each House.
The Governors signature to bill submit
ting an amendment to the Constitution to the
voters for their approval or rejection, cannot
affect it. In such cases the power to approve
or reject lies with the people. After the Leg
islature, by three-6fths vote in each House,
proposes by bill Constitutional amendment,
the only duty the Governor has in the matter
is to have the bill published for three months
prior to the election at which such proposed
amendment shall be submitted to the voters
for adoption or rejection.

Senator Burton Convicted.

Joseph Ralph Burton, Republican and
senior United States Senator from Kansas,
was convicted in the United States District
Court of Missouri on Monday of accepting
compensation TO protect the interests of the
Rialto Grain and Securities Company Of ST.
Louis before the Postofice Department.
The evidence adduced against Senator Bur
ton may be summarized as follows:
In November, 1902, be accepted proposal
to become general counsel for the Rialto and
Securities Company, a concern whose opera
tons at the time were under the scrutiny OF
the Postofice Department
Burton demanded 81, 500 for his services,
but he was satisfied to be paid in monthly IN
stallments of $500 each.
Soon after his employment 1t developed
that the Federal grand jury was investigating
the Brooks Brokerage Company, with which
Major Hugh c. Dennis, president OF the
Rialto Company, had been associated.
Numerous letters written by Senator Bur
ton showed that the Senator was using his IN
auence to prevent the issuance Of fraud order
against the Rialto Grain and Security Co.
Burton submitted regular reports to the
Rialto people, telling them how matters were
progressing at Washington, advising them Of
complaints fled at the Postothce Department
and closing with the assurance that III you
look after things at your end Of the line Will
attend to matters here
Mr. Burton's action in using his position as
Senator to make money is similar to the gen
eral system ofgraft that pervades Washington.
Beavers, Machen and Others in the Postoffice
Department only fell into a system that has
been practiced for years, and so general has
it become that graft was regarded as no viola
lion Of law.
In the debates in Congress on the PROPOSE
ton TO investigate the Postofhce Department
and the conduct of some members Of Congress
in having salaries Of postmasters increased, .
it has been charged that the whole Depart
ment was reekiug with corruption. 1t Is very
probable other Departments Of the Govern
ment are reeking with corruption also, but
there will be no investigation so long as q
Republican Congress can prevent It, and q
Republican Administration is kept in power.
If the people want the graft system broken
up, trusts restrained and corporation mergers
in restraint Of trade dissolved by ;he courts, It
is necessary 10 replace Roosevest's Admins
tration with Democratic Administration
The Presidents order in increasing pensions
and adding to the pension lists, shows be IS
more interested in securing the votes OF ex-
soldiers than in conserving the Government
finances. There is no graft in the order for
the President-only draft Of votes-bu, has
action IA IN line with other officials who have
been lavish of expenses for their own benefit.
