They should not forget they owe something to the democratic minority. Because democrats have no voice in the selec> ton of the person who will represene them in the United States senate for the next six years is no reason why their unwillingness to be nlisrepre- scented in the highest legislative body in the land should be ignored. They are citizens of New York state as well as the republicans, and they are just as jealous of the honor of the state as fare their political opponents. They do not believe in republican principles and politics, but they do believe that they should be represented in the United States senate by a person whose words will carry weight with them They know, on what Chauncey M.

A division in the electoral vote of Ore, gon, which gave Roosevelt 10000 plu- rality, is threatened through the all leged ineligibility of an elector. -Ih view Of this the New York World makes the following suggestion: '.As each state has the right to regulate it's ballot and the manner of its choice of presidential electors, might it not ] be well to drop the names of the cleo. tors entirely from the ballot and sub stitute the name of the candidate, and CO proF1dS tndI d.

HORSES ON A MoLAssEs DIET.
Explanation of the"Fine Teams of a
 Brooklyn Sugar Refinery


 The trucking horses used by big sugar refining firm in, Brooklyn are such flne, big, sleek looking animals that their passage through the streets attracts attention and horsemen gen. erally believe that the cost of keeping them in such condition must be con- siderabIy above the average.
 That is not the case, however for in the stable of the firm an experiment of mixing molasses with the feed has been made and the plan has been found to be not only extremely econ omical but also of exceptional value in producing nourishment, It costs only 34 cents day to feed these fine horses with range from 1,7o0 to 1900 pounds in weight. This, according to experts, is from 20 to 27 per Cent cheaper than the old system of main tafnfng the stock on oats and hay entirely.
 This is what the sugar refnefy horses eat. In the morning they get a quart and a half of Indian meal, a quart of wheat bran, seven pounds of cut hay and quart and half of l sugar house syrup which remains af- ter all possible specialization of sugar has taken place. ys..4
 At noon each horse gets four or five quarts of oatsNand the night ration is 1 the same as that i'm the morning, ex- 1 eept that five pounds of loose hay is placed in the stall in addition.
 | The hygienic value of the molasses | feed formula is proved by an expert ment which was made on two run down horses that had been kept upon ordinary rations. Their weights were 800 and 925 pounds when they were put on the molasses system and both | soon showed improv ement in weight and health. At the end of six weeks the smaller had gained 200 pounds and the other was 1S1 pounds heavier

MANY WILD RUMORS.
ST. Petersburg is Stirred by Stories
From Chefoo.

The city of st. Petersburg is full of
wild rumors that Port Arthur has
fallen. due to reports from Chefoo of
another assault, in which the fortress
was taken by the combined land and
sea forces, though the Japanese lost
three warships, including the protect
ed cruisers Chiyoda and Itsukushima.
There is not the slightest confirma-
ton of these rumors. 1t is believed
that the Japanese are still unable to
capture the outer works. much less
the fortress itself.
There is increasing Impotence
among all classes for decisive news
from Liao-yang. Lieutenant General
Sakharoff's report that there had not
been any change in the Manchurian
army's sphere of operations merely
adds to the tension which possibly
will continue for some time. There is
no telling how much time the notori-
ously slow and methodical prepare
tons of the Japanese may consume
before they feel ready to advance on
General Kuropatkin's strong posi-
lions.

WORKS OF PORT ARTHUR.
Russian Advices, However, Are to the
Effect That the Japanese Have
Received Worst End of Argu-

From a source hitherto reliable, 1t
is now said there is good reason to
believe that the japanese are renew
ing their attack on the remaining
outer positions at Port Arthur.
All the Russian newspapers express
great relief over the reports from
Port Arthur The army organ says
that although General Stoessel's re-
port gives no details. 1t is evident
that the Japanese have suffered Sc.
yere reverse. The paper also pays a
tribute 10 the nayy's part in the de-
Tense OF the besieged fortress.
The officers OF the cruiser Fuerst
Bismarck, lying at the outer edge Of
Chefoo harbor, express the opinion
that the firing heard Monday night
was an encounter between detach-
ments OF the belligerent warships, APP

AGAINST THE BOYCOTT.
Judge Decides Against Legality of
Picketing by Labor Unions.

Superior Judge Hunt, in San Fran
cisco decided against the legality Of
picketing and boycotting by labor
unions. The decision was rendered
in the case of e. G. Pierce against the
local Stablemen's union and others.
The union as stated by the Judge,
called out his men employed in the
plaintiffs stables and picketed his
place of business because he refused to
discharge non-union man and substi-
tute a union man in his stead, at the
demand of a walking delegate of the
union. The action was brought to OBJ
tain permanent injunction against
the defendants, to restrain them from

OLD FASHIONED.
But still In the Fashion.

1t Is an ever new and interesting
story to hear how one can be entirely
made over by change of food.

ting my food up in quantities until I
would be very faint and weak. This
went out from day to day until l was
terribly wasted away and without any
prospect of being helped.
One day I was advised by an old
lady to try Grape-Nuts and cream
leaving off all fatty food. 1 had no
confidence that Grape-Nuts would do
all she said for me as I had tried so
many things without any help. But
1t was so simple I thought would
give 1t trial she insisted so.
well I ate some for breakfast and
pretty soon the lady called to see her
patient as she called me and asked
If had tried her advice.
"'Glad you did child. do you feel
some better?'
NO, L said, I do not know as l
do, the only difference can see is
have no sour stomach and come to
think Of 1t haven't spit up your four
teaspoons Of Grape-Nuts yet
Nor did l ever have any trouble
with Grape-Nuts then or any other

WHERE EAGLES BUILD NESTS
Inaccessible Spots Always Selected

A writer who has studied the habits
Of eagles among the Scottish hills says
that the birds construct their eyries
toward the end of March and the eggs,
which number two or three, are laid
In April. Eagles seem to prefer for q
nesting site some ancient pine with a
southern position and wide outlook or
ledge on cliff, but this writer no

eyrfes on quite small rocks, where
they can be got at without much diff

eagles will fearlessly attack any one
attempting to rob its eggs and young,
but this is probably much less often
the case than is generally supposed.
When one Of pair Of eagles Is trap
ped or shot the remaining bird has
often great difficulty in finding mate
and may haunt its nesting site for
several years by itself While soaring
round and round their eyrie the eagles
utter musical note somewhat similar
to the cry of wild goose.
