The Most Magnificent Beds Ever Seen

Worlds Fair Exhibit.

The Chinese exhibit at the Worlds
Fair is filled with pleasing surprises.
Some Of the most magnificent articles
of furniture are a part of this wonder
full display. The carving and inlaying
of ivory. bone and wood illustrate the
marvellous skill of the Chinese.
Models included in this interesting
exhibit show the homes and home life
Of the Chinese. their weddings and
funerals. Chinese tea house. restau-
rant and shop. Chinese weaving and
some Of the beautiful silks and wear
ing apparel of the Chinese and their
methods Of manufacturing them.
One feature of the exhibit is two
magnificent Chinese beds, each of
which has the appearance Of being q
small house of great beauty. One is g
summer bed. the other for winter. The
summer bed is hand carved and inlaid
with ivory and bone figures and land
scapes exquisitely carved and SO
skillfully joined as to appear part of

the capture Of Kin Chou is a great

the capture Of Kin-Chou is a great
surprise to the Russians. They
supposed its reduction would need a
siege train, and would call for careful
approaches and much time. What the
loss of the japanese was is not known.
1t may have ueen heavy. But, what
ever it is, they have Kin-Chou. And
that is the main point. At the be-
ginning of the war there was much
speculation as to how the japanese
troops would behave when they met
the Russians face to face. That ques-
eion saems to be answered. They
swept the enemy before them in the
Yalu fight, and now they have carried
fortified town. which was no doubt
bravely defended. Probably the Jap
anese soldiers are no drawer than those
of the Car, but they are more intelli-
gent and efficient, and they seem to
be more skilfully led, At any rate,
they have thus far done whatever was
asked Of them.

The Indianapolis News sounds a
note of warning that people will not
submit to any scheme to down the
Nicholson liquor law and curb it in
any way. 1t does not require crank
temperance advocate or a confirmed
prohibitionist to take this position.

just is admitted. 1t causes nd hard

liquor business and abide by the law.
The much talked of blanket remon-
STRANGE feature is sane and has provl-

against the man engaged IN the saloon
business, but they will not stand for
interference of the Nicholson law

The Knights Of Fidelity News, the
official organ of the saloons of Indi-

Phalanx, the organ of the Prob bitlon
party, by saying: "The Phalanx goes
after the Nicholson law and the anti
Saloon League in manner which is
exactly to our liking" No better
compliment could be paid to the law,
which has stood the test of the Sup
RENE Court at every aSsailed point,
than that it is assailed with equal
violence by the saloons and the Pro-
hlbition party. 1t is not likely to be
repealed to please either assailant.-
