SLAPPED ANDRES FACE.
French Minister of War Assaulted n
 House of Deputfea

French Minister of War Assaulted I'm
 House of Deputies.
 PARIS, Nov. 5.-The sitting of tho chamber of deputies was one of tho stormiest and most heated in recent years, the excitement culminating when Gabriel Syveton, prominent Nationalist deputy, stepped up to Gen eral Andre, the minister of war, and slapped his face After accomplishing this feat Syveton retreated rapidly to the uppermost row Of seats, taking refuge behind members of the opposi-. lion. Tremendous tumult ensued, dep uties of all parties crowding upon the floor of the house, and a free fight was soon in progress. The offender, how ever, refused to quit his seat, and it became necessary again to suspend the sitting while he was removed by aI military guard.
 Deputies who witnessed the assault upon the minister of war say that General Andre was wholly taken by surprise and was struck with such vio- lence that he would have fallen had not Premier Combes stepped forward and supported him. General Andres face was. much swollen and was cut by a ring worn by Syveton. Speaker Bris- son has notified the Judicial authority that an assault had been committed within the precincts of the chamber.

$500 BILL TO BUY BEER.
Her Friend sent Iier Out With shs Note to Buy Pint.

New York, Nov 4.--John Kerrigan of 70 Adams street, Hoboken, called at the home of Mrs Sadie Hallorahan in Park avenue, that city, yesterday to mpart the glad tidings that he expecr- ed to pay off $1, ,5O0 mortgage on his house before the sun went down. He pulled S1 ,000 bin and a. $500a bill from his pocket, placed them on his knee, thumbed them once or twice and said he had worked hard to earn it, but "a little home free and clear' was worth all the trouble.
 Then he stuffed the larger bill in his vest pocket and handed the other to \ Mrs Hallorahan with the request that Hshe get pint. The woman took the family pail off it's hook and went out She drifted into the nearest corner saloon and had the can filled. When Mrs Hallorahan threw the bill at the barkeeper he nearly tainted He said Ire couldn't change it and told the wo- man she could pay for the beer some other time.
 The woman went away and soon ap- peared in nearby thirst cure The can was empty. The proprietor who waited on her said he would have to sell his place to make change and she left with the beer and the bill.
 Somebody advised her to get a Hud- son street money broker to break the bill and she did so. She continued her tour, however, and in the meantime Kerrigan was getting anxious. He couldn't imagine what had become or Mrs Hallorahan, the growler and his $500, and he went looking for them. He met Policeman Hopper and asked him to aid him in the search.
 The cop found Mrs Hallorahan in a saloon. The can was empty, but the woman wasn't. She said she was glad of it, too She had wad of bills and lot of coin in a mysterious skirt pocket. Hopper took her to police headquarters, where she was relieved of the cash, The sergeant counted $494 90, and said sine evidently had spent the equivalent of 110 beers at the retail rate of five cents per glass He didn't figure out how many glasses there were if she made all her pur- chases by the pint.
 Mrs Hallorahan denied that she drank all the beer herself and said that she had tried to be good fellow to number of friends.
 She was arraigned before Recorder Stanton and committed to the county jail for thirty days.

SCARCITY OF FOOD.

Phoenix, Ariz, Nov 4.-Much agita- tion has resulted from reports that the Pima Indians, Sacatan reservation, in Arizona, were suffering from a scar city of food and government commis sion is now at the agency Investigating the matter. The commission is head ed by Commissioner Jones of the h. dian bureau. So far the commission has found no case of starvation.

WILLNOIT SURRENDER
Russians at Port Arthur Re-
 tire to Inner Forts.
PREPARING FOR LAST FIRM STAND
Losses of Japanese Before Fortress Estimated at Forty Thousand.
 Nogi Presses Forward For Victory.

LONDON, Nov. 5.-It is reported at Chefu that the garrison of Port Arthur has retreated to the forts on the Tigers Tail, Golden hill and Liaoti mountain and there are preparing for final stand.
 The Japanese are reported to be in possession of all the main northeastern positions of the fortress, which posi- tions they gained after immense loss of life
 It is now reported that General Stoes- sel has been wounded in the arm and chest.
 Of all the warships in the harbor of Port Arthur only the battleship Pobie- ida is afioat. The rest have been sunk by the Japanese fire.
 The Sevastopol and Peresviet lie at the docks with only two feet showing above water The Retvizan was de stroyed by fre
 It is reported that the Japanese are drawing water from the sea by means of machines and using the water to flood the Russian intrenchments.
 The British steamship Victoria has run the blockade of Port Arthur with a full cargo of beef
 The present situation of affairs at Port Arthur is extremely critical, and hairbreadth's gain one way may mean final victory of the Japanese.
 A Chefu report says that the six days of bombardment and desperate efforts on the part of the besiegers to take the fortress of Port Arthur has ceased. The Japanese took Fort No. 3, but were unable to hold 1t. The Japanese losses are reported to be enormous.
 # A Tokyo report confirms the state ment that the old part of Port Arthur was set fire to on Oct. 28 and that >en the following day great damage was inflicted against the Russian mine clearing vessels in the harbor, two of them catching fire.
 A Tokyo report says that the at tempt of General Nogi of the Third Japanese army to present Port Arthur to the nikado as q birthday present resulted in disastrous failure. The Japanese were repulsed with heavier losses than they had previously expe- rienced in single assault. Neverthe- less the attempt to reduce the fortress continues unabated.
 The Japanese killed or wounded in front of Port Arthur during the last three months approximate 10000.

 J. H. F.-What is the origin of Halloween?
 A. It is relic of the Pagan times, coming the evening preceding All Hal lows or All Saints day. Originally it was set apart as sacred to the mem ory of departed saints, and naturally grew to. be considered by the super stitious as the night of all others when supernatural influences should prevail, and witches and devils were supposed to be abroad. A later use, indulged in now, makes it q time for household reyelries. such as the per- formance of spells by young people to discover future partners.

THE CAMPAIGN IN GREEK.
Typographical Wonders of Hellenic
 Sheet -Rosbelt and Phairbanks.

Typographical Wonders of a Hellenic
 Sheet -Rosbelt and Phairbanks. Atlantis, the Greek newspaper which is published every other day in this city, always has hard time of it when 1 it handles the un- Hellenic topics of the day. When 1t has to discuss "Ho Pole mos Rossias Kai Iaponias'' and 'sHo Agglo-R -Rossikon Epeisodion, ' in nidisplay type, it's front page looks like font of large type gone crazy.
 This is nothing however, to the trou- ble it struck in it's issue of Oct. 26, when four page supplement devoted to the Presidential campaign was add ed to the regular edition. It is printed 1n very black ink on very white paper and if 1t does not capture the Greek vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks
 there is nothing in typography. Across the top of the front page in
 half inch letters is the legend. "Hot Hupopsephoi tou Sumpoliteiakour
 Kommates.' This has n magnificent sound, but it only means 'eThe candi- dates of the Republican ticket.''
 Below 1t are excellent half tone pis-
 lures of the president and his running
 mate. Unfortunately, the lettering be-
 low the cut deprives the President of
 a syllable.
 E To the unpractised eye it looks like "Theodoros Rosbelt,'' but it is .sRoos- welt" when you know the type, the long Greek omega standing for the two
 vowels in the first syllable and onIl the middle se" being omitted.
 The senator from Indiana figures as
 karolos Phairbanks,' the "Ph' being as near as Greek type can come to the Roman The president is de- scribed as "Upopsephos Proedros,'.
 which means presidential candidate" :"
 the words being reversed. yice-presi- dent becomes ''Antiproedros
 Ill the matter of orthography. John Hay is severe sufferer. His portrait IS given on the second page as that of
 'loannes Xaiu.' The ''X'' is the Greek letter chi, the pronunciation Of which
 IS more or less gutteral like the Ger
 man ''ch' or the Spanish '.i.'' Just how the final letters ''in'' are evolved 1t would take Greek to explain. Mr Hays office is given as "Upourlos epi ton Esoterikon.''
 When the name and picture of the grocery store candidate for governor of New York was reached on the third page the Greek type totally refused to nViA- HS udue dppeafS Ill plain bold Roman letters.
 The paper is full of red hot campaign
 articles. One is headed s'Ho Poiitikon Stadion Theodorou Rosbelt," which is to say, "The Political Record of Theos dore Roosevelt" It has rousing al- fusion to ton Hispano-Amerikani Polemon," the Spanish- American war. There Is also an article bristling with
 plain ordinary figures upon ..Oikono-
 mika Ereipia hupo tous Demokratik- ous,~ that is the Economic Wreck
 After the Democrats Other articles are 'sHoi Demokratikoi kai ta Trosts. , which hardly needs translation, and "Hoi Huposteriktai tou Parker which 1 is all about Belmont and Wall street
 as packers of the democratic candi-
 date.
 The whole sheet is sprinkled with
 Dlack-face quotations from Roosevelt'a 'a
 speeches and writings done into mod 'ern Greek.
