that the battleship Yashima struck mine
off Dalny and sank in deep water while
trying to reach the harbor The accident
probably took place last June, as the
Russians claimed that the Yashima was
sunk at that time The Yashima was one
of the finest battleships of the Japanese
navy. Her displacement was 1890 tons
and she had speed of 10 knots, The
Russian squadron at Port Arthur in
cludes five modern battleships, more or
less damaged, and the second Pacific
squadron, now on its way from the Bal

only four first class battleships.

NO SUSPICION OF FOUL PLAY.
John e. Gale. Guardian OF Lester Stat
ford, Says Some Rumors Are Wholly
Without Foundation.

Without Foundation.
Editor Of The Phoenix.
Dear Sir:
In Justice to the family of r. n. Fair
bank. of this town, / feel obliged to make
a brief statement relative to the disap-
pearance of Lester ]. Stafford, who has
been supported in Mr.. Fairbanks FAMILY.
From some unknown source various ru-
mors have been started and extensively
circulated, to the effect that STAFFORD had
been badly treated shortly before he went
away. also that his property would fall
to tho Fairbank family on his decease
Both of these statements are wholly er-
roneous and without any basis whatever
None OF the family ever had any occasion
or any disposition to illtreat STAFFORD;
they were well paid for his care and
boa I'd at a certain price per week. and had
no interest in his property after his death
His heirs are remote relatives. living at a
distance who have not seen or heard from
Stafford in many years. Those who know
the Fairbank family know them as non
est kindly Christian people, against whom
there Is no shadow of suspicion In this
lamentable affair 1t was in their inter-
est that he should live and remain with
them. There was no possible motive for
foul play on the part of any one, and none
is suspected but through ignorance OF the
circumstances some thoughtless person or
persons has circulated rumors OF a most
wrongful ana unjust kind. and these have
become so widespread, gaining some
credence with strangers. that / feel 1t
my duty to make and hereby do make
an emphatic and public refutation OF all
stories pertaining to this matter and de-
rogatory to the Fairbank family.
Respectfully yours
JOHN f. GALE.

In which Thurber of Brattleboro. who is
playing his fourth year for Colgate, was
the star. He made the only touchdown
by desperate plunge OF 20 yards direct

necticut league show that this year Fitz-
maurice OF the New Haven club ranked

was $3.50, and as a base runner he was
one OF the fastest In the league. Dowd
batted for .27l and his fielding average

The official fielding averages of the New

figures compiled by the newspapers. Tom

out ne was really the leader as the two
men who outranked him by a few points

is seen in the fact that he accepted more
chances than any other second baseman.

Of all the bloodthirsty animals that prey upon each other, the human can- nibal is the most repellent and the civ. | ilized cannibal the worst kind-the cultured creature that tortures his or her victims with that refinement of cruelty-personal criticism-known in common parlance as back biting. l. any community free from its it- dulgence? and can any one-sainr or sinner-excape it's stinging wounds? Next to this vam pire comes the tattler, of all the uncanny creatures the most to be feared-more so than an epidemic of smallpox, black plague or war; These latter come in their bravery, but the former comes in stealth and insidi ous, carping sycophancy. "A soft answer turneth away wrath" 4 word of praise is pleasing to hear and harms neither giver nor receiver Kindly criticism, honestly given, is always more inspiring than false fattery. But vituperation would turn honey to vinegar, and the tale bearer turn Para. disc into pandemonium and create, not the new hell, but the old pit of fire and birthstone upon earth.-News Her. ald

This week a carload of three-inch pipe was received at Kingnan station for the Gold Road company and will be hauled out at once to Little Mead ows where it will be laid over the mountain to Gold Road. This pipe is for the Little Meadows Gold Road water system by which the big mill at Gold Road is to be converted into a wet crusher. From the same station oil is also to be pun ped ove the noun. tain, and if successful it is thought that line will be laid from some point on the railroad and the oil run to Little Meadows by gravity. This is the remedy proposed for the expensive fuel haul and gradual bettering of the present milling facilities, and which contemplates the installation of steam power in place of the costly gas oline machines.
