1t is refreshing to perceive the Globes easy tran
sitions from booming Folk back TO fighting Folk
again. The Globe is now bowling about Folk reform
which 1t conceives TO be one-twentieth Folk and
ninet~een-twentieths machine" Here is what 1t
said less than 4 year ago: Folk occupies an individ-
ualized place in the Democratic party of Missouri.
He cannot be Jumped with the machine and an av-
erage struck Of intelligent availability. Missouri
Republicans would rejoice over Folks nomination
by the Democrats, because. however the election
might go, the boodling machine would be uprooted.'
Since the only machine which is doing business in
Missouri now is that Of the people. as n whole, the
Globe appears to be contradicting itself without any
excuse, save perhaps its desire to be consistent.

 At the time she was struck the ves- sel was off the lightship engaged in the maneuvers and was lying in seven fathoms of water waiting the approach of battleship.
 The boat was one of the newest of the fleet of submarine vessels and was built from the latest models, but she has always been bad diver. She was inspected recently by both King Ed ward and the Prince of Wales.

 Did Not Decline to Toast President
 Roosevelt.
 CHICAGO, March 1e-"Presidency and president are distinct terms" said General Fred D. Grant when asked If he had been correctly understood when it was reported of him that he declined to toast the president of the United States at the St. Patrick's day banquet of the Irish Fellowship club The general made the following signed statement:
 'I am extremely disgusted and an moved at the statement made with ref erence to my remarks at the banquet. I had been invited to attend and to speak at the Irish Fellowship club in celebration of St. Patrick's day and had accepted the invitation, but requested that be not called upon for speech. T am particularly chagrined at the way the report is put in the paper, which would draw the inference that I referred to the president in other than proper terms, when I have the warmest admiration for him and a most agreeable personal acquaintance with him. His kind and thoughtful consideration upon the occasion of the death and funeral of my mother has given me personal attachment for him which will never grow less, and anything that would be said to indicate that I was not his warmest and most devoted admirer would do a wrong to my personal feelings for the present chief magistrate of the United States"

!. The Projecti1es We Use.

We have now armor piercing pro1ec- tiles, deck piercing projectiles, semi-ar- nor piercing projectiles, common forged and cast steel projectiles, cast iron pro- Jectiles, shrapnel, and so on, in endless variety AS the work the gun, whether ashore or afioat, will have to do can be pretty clearly predicted, 1t would ap- pear as though one, or at most two. kinds of projectiles were enough. These two would naturally have, the one a high penetrative power, and the other a large capacity for internal charge, giv- ing great destructive power when the shell is burst. No one who has not examined carefully the effect of burst ing shell in closed space can have an idea of it's detructiveness A small six pound shell, of about 2M inches diameter, containing three or four ounces of powder, burst in an ordinary room and breaking into 20 or 30 frag- ments, would probably destroy every thing in the room.-Scientitic Ameri- a2n.

The mate was taken to a Canadian geological garden at the request of q representative of King Edward.

 ST. PETERSBURG, March 19. vtceroy Alexeieff has cabled to the en- peror from Mukden as follows:
 General Mishtchento reports that Pingyang is occupied by Japanese in fantfy with some guns and that Ko- rean carts are carrying their supplies. The enemy's cavalry is not visible in large bodies, aS& only isolated horse men are seen. Their horses are poor:
 Our patrols discovered the presence of the snemy's infantry on the banks of the Chengcheng river five versts (about three and third miles) from Anju. The enemy opened fire and killed one of our horses"
 A Port Arthur report says:
 s'Despite the various bombardments at Port Arthur the external aspect of the city remains unchanged, although the enemy fired an enormous number of projectiles. The marine monsters in the harbor look like enormous black hulls, and the battleships and cruisers bear marks of the fighting The black clouds of smoke vomited from their stacks overhangs the town. The cruis- CT Pallada stands almost ready in the dock.
 Near the entrance of the harbor can be seen the charred wrecks of the Jap anese fire ships. Aboard one of the farthest out was found the body of a 7 To n+S xrbN hn ck1 k Beside him lay chart showing the course of the Ire ships and the spot where they sank
 "Six hours of firing by the heaviest guns during the last bombardment did not demolish single building, but cost 8 few lives. The husband and child of the Baroness Frank, who was decapi- tated by fragments of shell flying in through the window, were unharmed.
 '"The enemy in endeayoring to stand as far as possible outside the range of the Russian batteries rendered their own fire ineffective. The people are getting used to the bombardments, and the Japanese squadron cruising in the offing causes little alarm"
 A Mukden report says the stories of soldiers frozen to death while crossing Lake Baikal provoke mirth there. The men are not suffering from the cold. Huts at intervals of few versts pro- vide warmth and refreshment, and the weaker men are driven across in sleighs, well wrapped up in furs. 9th CTS march the distance, forty versts (about twenty-six miles) comfortably in a day and are glad of the opportu- nity to stretch their limbs after the railroad Journey.
 During the fighting at Port Arthur the Japanese battleship Mikasa was struck by ten projectiles and seriously damaged, two Japanese battleships and two cruisers have been docked for repairs at Nagasaki and Sassbo, and 2,O0O wounded men are said to be in the Japanese hospitals.
 All the Russian wounded and sick at Port Arthur are making good progress toward recovery.

 John J. Gallagher of 21 Highland avenue, Danbury, says
 Bronchitis had the best of me and was harrassed night and day by a hacking cough that fingered in spite of all 1 could do. I was rapidly los ing flesh and strength. One day sev- eral weeks ago I explained the case to 8 friend who told me that he was almost positive Linoline would cure me of the bronchitis and build me up. l was thoroughly discouraged at this time, but before I had finished my first bottle of Linonine I noticed that 1 did not have to cough at all during the night. This enabled me to rest un- disturbed. Linonine soon mastered the bronchitis and began to build me up.. I have gained eight pounds ill weight and all traces of the cough are gone. The success of I4inonine ill my case is little short of miraculous"
