One of -Four Destroyers Escapes
Unhurt from Port arthur.

Tien-Tsin, July 6.-Four Japanese destroyers
made a determined attempt to enter Port
Arthur and attack the Russian fleet at p. m.
last Sunday. The vessels were discovered by the
shore batteries.
One of the destroyers was sunk under Golden
Hll. another under Short Battery No 80, and
a third one had its funnel shot away. The
fourth one succeeded in enecting a retreat.

tempted to repeat the Japanese exploit with
torpedo boats at Wel-Hai-We In the Chinese
japanese war, by sending destroyers into the
harbor of Port Arthur for the purpose OF sink
ing ships at their anchorage but the attempt
ended I'm disastrous failure
Four torpedo boat destroyers managed TO
creep into the harbor. which not protected
by booms but only one escaped. Two were
sunk by the shore batteries and ono Grip
pied. So far known. the Japanese did not
succeed even in launching torpedoes
The reckless bravery OF the japanese in GO
ing 10 almost certain destruction excites great
admiration here. The channel at Port Arthur is
so tortuous and strewn with wrecks that ev-
IDENTIFY il regarded unnecessary 10 use
a boom. The feat IS considered in naval circles
to he fully as daring as that OF the japanese at
Wei-Hai-Wei. where japanese torpedo boats
covered with ice were forced over the booms
protecting that harbor and destroyed Chinese
warships
The date Of the attack is not ascertainable.
but II is said to have taken place on Saturday.
No further details are given. Though II is be-
lieved that other destroyers took part in the
attack, only four succeeded in getting IN. The
means whereby this information reached the au-
thorities not disclosed.

EMULAToR OF NOAH.

Dnhfbh Kfng to rake . Trip In Ark
 R&prOaaced by an Engineer.
 King Christian of Denmark will in the near future have chance to ex- perience the feelings Of Noah during the flood, says a special cable dispatch from Copenhagen to the New York American and Journal.
 A Danish engineer, M> Vogt, SUD- piled with money by the Carlsberg fund left by the late millionaire brew CT, Jacobsen, has built a reduced copy of the ark in which Noah hoated around until he stranded on Mount Ararat. The new ark was built ac- cording to the description contained in the Old Testarnent and an ancient rep resentation of the Biblical vessel found on an, Apamean coin, dating back to 300 B. C., which is on exhib1- tion in museum at Stockholm.
 M Vogt's ark is, however only one tenth the size of the one built by Fla ther Noah, but a number Of Danish university professors and scientists de clare It to be a fine craft, which be- hayes splendidly in the open sea, as they had an opportunity to see during a recent trip on the Oeresound.
 King Christian has, promised to make trip on the unique vessel, after which the builder may try to take it across the Atlantic.

Tine Erie Railroad company has con- structed m improved baggage car of steel, says the New York Tribune. It has four sliding doors for unloading si- uu1taneously, and thus delays will be averted in the departure of trains. The car is also Built for strength and to prevent teleseoping in case of acci- dent. The first of these cars was re- gently shown in the yard at Jersey City and attracted. considerable atten- tion. Tt looks like battleship," was a freQuent comment. The Erie com pany had the car built as an expert ,nient, which, it is believed, will prove successful. The car is absolutely non inf1anmabIe and should prove noncoi. lapsible, say the Erie officials! It is the intention of the company to construct It's passenger coaches of similar ma ter4al if this experiment. is the success expecked.

 ''WINSOME WINNIE"
 Theater-goers will be pleased with the announcement that Paula Ed wardes is to appear in ''Winsome Win nie" Tuesday evening at Polls, bring ing the original New York Casino pro- duction and company of fifty people. This is Miss EdWardes's second season as a star and, in that short space of time she has ascended the ladder o1 fame and commanded recognition until she is now in the same class with all the big ones. De Wolf Hopper, Lillian Russell, Jefferson De Angelis, Francis Wilson, etc. By her charming person ality, undoubted talent, youth and good looks she has finally established herself as Q prime favorite, one who for many years hence will undoubtedly reign as the leading female star of the musical comedy stage. "Winsome Winnie" should prove an N attractive vehicle for Miss Edwardes and her fifty merry companions. Four authors of fame and prominence are resp9nsi- ble for the score and music. In It's original form it was the work of JakObowski and Paulton, the authors of "ErIninie," while the added lyrics and jingling melodies in it's American ized edition are the work of Gustav Kerker and Fred Ranken. The conn ;pany supporting Miss EdWardes is one of the largest and most carefully selected this season on tour.

Can person who likes fun be i'm. agtned that would fail to be more than suited with the current show at the Jacques? We would hesitate to be, lieve there is such a person. And 1t is not alone this weeks bill, but any, in fact, that is presented at the house, that is suitable. Take vaudeville shows as they are regularly given ar this theater and compare them with the shows that are given elsewhere, and just see if it isn't a fact that they outclass many that are given in otheb places for a higher scale of prices. And compare them from the standpoint of amusement with other classes of shows and see if after all one doesn't get better value forymoney expendeds in going to the Jacques than in visit ing other places of amusement. Try 1t this week and judge. Prices are 10! 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 70, cents, ladies 10.
