Conditions at Port Arthur.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 12.-Workmen
attached to the st. Petersburg torpedo
factory have returned from Port Arthur,
where they were detailed some time
ago. They left the besieged fortress
August and give long, interesting ac-
counts of the conditions. The defenses,
they assert, were largely augmented by
the discovery of Chinese store of ar
tillery IL miles from the fortress. 1t
consisted of 800 Krupp guns of large
caliber, with from 300 to 5000 rounds
of ammunition for each piece. The guns
and ammunition were in perfect condi-
ton. A large store of rifles found were
nofso good.
The Japanese, it is related, made ar
rangements with residents of the SUBJ
urban Chinese village to furnish in
formation from the fortress by means of
a pigeon post. The plan was divulged
by Cinnamon and the whole population,
40 villagers, was executed.
Conspicuous gallantry was displayed
by two companies of sailors who were
cut off in the hills by the japanese and
were isolated for two days. Their am
munition soon ran out. Stones and
powders were hurled at the heads of the
attackers. Finally, several old cannon
were dismounted and rolled down the
hills upon the heads of the attacking
column. Ultimately, 40 sailors out of
800 escaped

SOME POPULAR MAYORS.
Men Invincible in Their Home Cities,
But Unable to Rise to
Higher Office.

The late Samuel Jones, the Golden
Rule mayor of Toledo, was regarded
as politically invfncible in his home
city, and he carried Toledo whenever
he was candidate in it; but when
nominated for governor in 1899 he was
defeated, says the New York Sun.
William c. Maybury, of Detroit, the
most popular democratic mayor of that
city, was elected for several terms,
but when a candidate for governor Of
Michigan in 1900 he was defeated.
David s. Rose, of Milwaukee, was
repeatedly elected mayor, but when
nominated for governor of Wisconsin
in 1902 on the democratic ticket he was
defeated by the present governor, La
Toilette. Carter H. Harrison, father Of
the present mayor of Chicago, was
generally regarded among politicians
as invincible at the polls, and it has
even been said of him that If his last
term had not been shortened by assas-
sination he might still be mayor of
Chicago. But on the only OCCASION
when he ran for state ofice-for gov
ernor of Illinois against "Dick" Ogles-
by-he was defeated, and he did not
aspire to any state Office afterward
Mayor Seymour, of Newark, had very
much the same experience when a can
didate for governor of New Jersey on
the democratic state ticket. Two other
mayors are in the same category,
Thomas E. Kinney, of Utica, and
Charles r. Parsons, of Rochester. Mr..
Parsons was six times elected to that
Office and served consecutively for IA
years. The list of popular mayors in
vincible at home, but unable to 90
higher politically, is long one. The
mention of these names recalls to mind
the notable fact that some constitu-
encies get the habit of constantly elect
ing candidate for mayor who dis
plays no great popularity when a can
didate for state Office
William S. Stokley, of Philadelphia,
and Hugh O'Brien, of Boston, are two
other instances of the same partially

JEWISH MAKER OF GLOBES
Dweller in the Ghetto of New York
Has q Curious and Interest
ing Occupation.

In a tenement house in the Ghetto
lives a skilled Jewish globe maker,
whose handiwork finds it's way into
the homes of his countrymen and the
museums of the cupio-hunters uptown.
says the New York Post. The mapped
spheres of manufacture are seen every
where, but his globes are not of this
ilk. The ball Of wood which is the
foundation is tenderly covered with
a papery substance until he thinks it
is thick enough. Wire painted bright
red or green is strung through the
poles; wire also makes the axis. With
the aid of instruments which have been
in his family for generations, he di-
vides the surface into hemispheres;
then the equator is designated; the
lines of latitude and longitude ode
painted in.
The maps which he uses are i'm
ported from France, and come in nearly
a hundred pieces. 1t requires the
greatest possible skill to fit them onto
the globe in exactly the right position.
But the old mans fingers have become
makes mistake. He does not seem
to be thinking of his work, either. but
intones in an absent-minded way from
his beloved Talmud The fingers from
long rubbing and fitting are as sensi-
tive at the tips as those of a piano
player.
"Ah,' he says to the writer, when l
hold the globe that way I know my
thumb will be in certain town in Rus
STA, and my small finger in an island
in the Atlantic ocean if these
things are not so, 1 am sure the map
is incorrect"
For his own people and a few Gus
toners he INDUCES in novelties such as
putting in moon, sun, and stars of diff
ferent metals. The bases of the globes
are often Of picturesque character. One
was made of different woods from
Jerusalem fashioned to represent the
steps of Solomon's temple; the SYM
bolism being that the globe rested
upon the foundation of the holy struc-
ture. Another had crudely painted
upon it, various scenes from the ay-
ings of the prophets with such lines as:
Say unto the cities of judah, Behold
your Cod
And the ransomed of the Lord shall re-
turn and come singing unto Zion
Break forth into joy, sing together, ye
waste places of Jerusalem
The old globe maker does not toll
by the hour; his work is his day dream
and fills all his waking moments. The
children of the tenement rush into his
humble abode to see him decorating
his spheres before they go to school in
the morning; at twilight they come
again when their tasks are over; they
gaze with wondering eyes as he pastes
on Asia, Europe, and Africa, late in the
evening. When they have grown too
tired, have kissed him goodnight, and
are fast asleep in their beds, he is still
making stars and moons or carefully
fitting together the tails of recalcitrant
rivers that have become mixed up with
mountains, states. lakes, and oceans
having no relation whatever to them.

RICH TIMBER AFLAME.
Forest Fires Sweeping Northern CAL
ifornia-Loss of Life
Is Feared.

San Francisco, Sept. 12.-Forest fires
are now raging in many of the prin-
cipal timber sections in the northern
districts of California and in the i'm
mediate vicinity of this city. Accord
ing to the latest reports four great fires
are now raging, sweeping through the
Big Basin redwood country in the San
ia Cruz mountains; over the borders
of Mendocino and Lake counties, de-
vastating the mountains of Marin coun-
ty and also the timbered slopes of the
foothills in Contra Costa county and
Alameda county. In the Santa Cruz
mountains the situation is serious in
the extreme, and it is believed at
present that the state park in the Big
Basin, which contains some of the fin
est redwood timber in the state, is
doomed. Owing to the beauty and size
of the trees in this park, some of which
are 300 feet high and from 80 to 40 feet
in girth, this forest was preserved in
tact, only to disappear, as it is now
feared, in flames.
Down the mountains to the coast line

all kinds, and it is only hoped that the
conflagration may not extend to the
city of Santa Cruz. The fire in Marin
county is now checked it is believed.

acres. An army of men have been en-
gagged for hours past in fighting the
flames, which have swept a stretch of
country ten miles long and ranging
from one to five miles wide. Farm
houses and barns have been wiped out
in all directions.
From Tehama, Butte and other points

far no loss of human life has been re-
ported, but it is feared that in many
instances it must have been impossible

Sucked to Death.

Two playmates with whom he had
been romping about in the grain eleva-
tor of the Sheffield Mill company in
Faribault saw James Anderson, six
teen years old sucked down to his
death in discharging wheat bin.
Anderson, who was son of George
L. Anderson, a laborer, was playing
about the structure with the two sons
OF I. B. Murtaugh, the elevator mana
ger. Anderson jumped into a 35-foot
wheat bin and began leaping up and
down.
Several hundred feet below they
were loading cars with grain, and sud-
denly the bin in which the young An
derson stood was opened. The strug.
gleing lad was gradually drawn down
until he disappeared.
The victim had sunk fifteen feet, and
it took crew of six men on hour to
reach him.

Editor Suicides.

Grant Riggle, editor of the Madelia
Tribune, committed suicide at the Col
den West hotel, Minneapolis. by swal-
lowing 100 quarter-grain morphine
tablets, which he secured on a prescrip p
ton. He retired to his room early in
the evening, and in the morning when
he did not appear bell boy made an
investigation and found him, fully
dressed, and dead in bed.
The coroner held no inquest, having
pronounced it case of suicide.
Mr.. Riggle was affected with an in
durable disease which had settled in
lower extremities, and the fear that
it would be necessary to amputate his
limbs is supposed to have caused him
to end his life He leaves wife and
two children.

A strong effort will be made next

The Gentry Show.

Thursday Gentry Bros. famous dog and pony show arrived here and gave performances both after noon and evening. AS it would be impossible to have school under such circumstances. the children were dismissed at 10:30 and many of them spent most of the day on the show grounds. To our mind the day for the children could not have been better employed, as performance of that kind is both entertaining and instrueting. The entire performance was excellent; showing that wonderful amount of patience must have been exer- cised in teaching the dogs, ponies, elephants, etc., their respective du- ties. The Japanese jugglers were an important feature of the pro- gram, also, and merited the ap- plause they received.
 While the unloading process was in progress a number of Supai h. dians watched the elephants com ing from the cars. It was the first time they had ever seen such ami mals and their staring eyes, open mouths and gestilating hands evi- denced their surprise and wonder.
