NOTE ON FOUNDLING
BEGGED FOR A HOME
"Please Care for Little One
1t Read "She Is of Hon.
orable Parentage"

Philadelphia, Aug. 29.-When a maid
employed by John Burns, No. 1889 Fed
eral street. opened the front door this
morning she was astonished to find a
little white bundle lying on the step.
A tiny wall issuing from the bundle
gave the woman an inkling of its con-
tents. and she carried it into the house,
where she found that the bundle con-
tanned a live, white baby.
AS the maid unwrapped the heavy
outer clothing which the child's mother
had put around it to protect it from the
damp August night, the little one cooed
and stretched its arms toward her She
then for the first time saw a note which
had been pinned to the sleeve of the in
fant's dress The note read as follows:
Care for this little founding. 1t
comes from good. honorable parents
It's name is Marie and it is three months
old. It's mother is not able to keep il
on account Of having to earn her living
Please"
ON the other side Of the scrap OF
paper on which the note was written
were the words; THANK you for youi
kindness to it. You will be rewarded in
Heaven"
The baby was taken to the Fifteenth
street and Snyder avenue station
where it was named Marie Snyder ant
was sent to the Philadelphia Hospital

TRYING TO GET PURE
MILK FOR THIS CITY
DIR. Robin and Inspector
Thompson Attend Meet
ing of Dealers

Milk and about everything pertaining
to it was discussed by members of the
Retail Milk Dealers Association of this
city on Saturday night. Bacteriologist
Robin and Inspector James Thompson
were present at the meeting and gave
the milk dealers interesting informa-
ton on the subject
Another meeting will be held at
Brandywine Springs Park and Dr.
Robin. Inspector Thompson, DR.. A. T.
Neale, the head of the Delaware Col
lege Experiment Station and c. l..
Penny of the same place will be pres
ent.
In the new milk ordinance that will
be presented before City Council short
ly. will appear clause compelling
milkmen to register their dairies, with
out fee, so that the milk inspector may
be able to reach the dairyman if the
retailer pleads innocuous. At least he
will be able to find out who is violating
the law and punish the guilty. In con-
junction with this the milkmen are
agitating a movement to request City
Council to provide the milk inspector
with "A team to facilitate his move
ments. 1t is thought he should have
a horse and carriage as his position is
one of the most important, from a
health standpoint, i'm the city and he
has considerable ground to cover.

lie LEeEND oF JAPAN.
Origin of Dnf nippon, According 20
shinto Mythology.

According TO the Shinto mythology,
in the beginning chaos reigned, ana in
Il were contained the germs Of all
things. From chaos was evolved n
race Of heavenly beings termed "ce-
lestial kami," Of whom Izanagi,
male, and Izanami female, were the
last.
These two We're instructed by the
other deities 70 descend from heaven
and beget islands, and 10 help them
on their mission they were presented
with a jeweled spear. Standing on a
bridge floating in the ether, they reach
ed down and stirred the brine and then
drew up the spear. The brine that
dripped from this weapon was heaped
up and became the island of Onogoro,
and on it the pair descended and
begat several other islands
/ The first OF these was Hirugo, but as
1t did not meet with the approval OF
the deities 1t was put into boat and
allowed to float away. The next was
the island of Ava. and so in succession
were produced the remaining islands
OF the archipelago, now termed 10y
Europeans Japan" but by the Japa

TALK OF AUTOMOBILE
POLICE PATROL WAGON
Horses Have Hard Time Of
1t, Making Long Runs
and Climbing Hills

Since work on the new police patro.
driveway I'm the rear of the City Hall
began, there has been considerable talk
of an automobile patrol. II is pointed
out that the area of the city is too
great for one patrol wagon to cover.
For instance, a run from Front and
French streets to Rising Sun Is quite
distance and hard upon horses. Very
often while the wagon Is on one Of
these long runs, calls for 1t are sent
from other localities and consequently
the horses are often blown before they
return to the stable.
The hilly conditions existing here are
also a point in favor of a police auto
mobile What such a machine would
cost has not been ascertained, but IL
is believed that one could be bought
for about $2500.
The Police Commission is anxious to
give up the police patrol stables i'm
French street, as they are too far from
the City Han. All of the members Of
that body look with favor on an auto
mobile for a patrol. II is pointed out
again that an automobile Will pay for
Itself I'm a year, as the cost OF main
tanning four horses, keeping harness
and wagon I'm repair and rent will reach
the sum for which such an apparatus
could be purchased.

FALL OF FORTRESS NEAR.
Fighting at Port Arthur Goes on Night
and Day.

London Aug 29-The Chronicles
correspondent with General Kuroki,
cabling under date of Aug, "A, via
Fusan Aug. %. says:
"rhe fall of Port Arthur is imminent.
The Japanese are now within the main
defenses, and their guns command the
town Desperate fighting occurs night
and day. and the losses on both sides
are enormous.
THE Russians are making furious
counter attacks. but the Japanese are
clinging to the positions they have won
at so great a cost"
The Daily Nails Kobe correspond
ent. In a dispatch dated Saturday last,
says;
Following is the position Of Port
Arthur: The japanese have captured
all the outlying fortiicntions. but the
! Russians still hold the citadel on An
tseshan Golden hill fort and the forts
on Tigers Tail and Liaot mountain
| The Japanese are in possession of tn,
parade ground and barracks under tn,
Antseshan fort on the outskirts.
"The fall of Port Arthur is believe,
to be imminent II is believed that thu
garrison will make a desperate sorti'
before the end comes"
The Tokyo correspondent OF tn
Standard says: "Unoilicial reports stat
that since the explosion of their mag
azine at the foot Of I.iaoti hin the Rus

THE MILK TEST.
How You May Discover II Your Di-
gestiOn IL Perfect.

How You May Discover II Your Di-
gestlon Il Perfect.
MIX is known to be one Of the few
complete foods 1t contains the bone,
muscle and fat producing elements and
sustains the heat of the body. The
milk Of different classes of animals
imammals) varies In composition to
suit the different requirements; thus
mares milk is richer I'm sugar, but
lacking in protein, compared with
cows milk
Another fact Of interest connected
with milk is found in the difficulty
with which some persons digest plain
milk It is safe to say that should
any organ, secretion OF digestive juice
fail to perform its free duty the milk
consumed will not be properly digest
cd. The reason for this is simple.
Milk contains such a variety of COM
pounds that all portions of the di-
gestive system are called into activity
for the digestion Of these varied ele-
ments. The gastric juice attacks the
cheesy matter; the pancreatlc and in
testinal juices digest the sugars and
fats. This takes the milk through the
stomach and the small intestlnes into
the large intestine The lower intes-
tine digests wood fiber also. This alone
Of all the forms Of food nutrients is
not found in milk. Because of the
facts above stated the ability to drink
milk is a test Of perfect digestion in
nearly all cases. Philadelphia Ledger.

ST. Petersburg. Aug. 29.-All the news
from Llaoyang, official or otherwise,
shows that General Kuropatllin is
gradually drawing in his advanced pO-
sitions TO the inner ring of his de
fenses
After three days of heavy fighting,
the latter part of which was impeded
by rain the Russians were compelled
10 disable six guns which it was inn
possible to move from the high posi-
tions over the muddy roads. but dur
ing the fighting on the southern front
they captured some Japanese guns. II
is reported also that they destroyed
some Japanese mountain batteries.
General Kuropatkin has not yet dis
closed whether he Intends to make a
decisive fight NJ Liaoyang.
General disappointment is expressed
oy tne newspaper correspondents AT
the Withdrawals now in progress. The
statement that the reserves We're not
called ND TO hold some of the positions
which were abandoned seems to show
that there is a strong force at Lao
yang which is not yet being utilized
At the same time from private mes
sages received from Liaoyang it might
be inferred that a heavy movement
northward has been progressing for
some days.
General Kuropatkin seems to be well
satisfied with the situation. one dis
patch describes him as being in high
spirits and laughing and joking at

II is found that IN concave spherical
mirrors the reelected rays only come TO
n definite focus I'm the point. when the
angular aperture Of the mirror does not
exceed eight or ten degrees. With a
larger aperture the rays reflected near
the edge cut the axis OF the mirror at
a point nearer its surface than those
from points Immediately around the
center. This being so. and the curve Of
the mirror being continuous, CORE
spending curve of successive focal
points is formed in space. and can be
rendered visible 10y the rays falling on
a rejecting surface, such as sheet Of

The napkin ring Is n cylinder and
possesses the properties Of the spher-

rays falling upon portions more remote
from the center line are brought 10 a
different focus from those falling near

BATTLE IS ON
At LAO YANG
Continued from First Page)

Tokyo. Aug. CO Marshal Oyama's
army divisions have completely routed
the Russians ON the eastern front OF
General Kmopatkm from south Of An
shan TO the 1ni river north of Lao
yang. The entire Sheng valley is in
possession of the Japanese army, and
the guns Of General kurolrs left divi-
sion are now engaged in the lombard
mcnt Of Anplng, the Russian forces
under General Hcrschelman having
been driven from their outlying posi-
tions with tremendous loss. A bulletin
from General Baron KOdama an
nounces that General KuroSi in driv-
ing i'm the Russian center at Anping
killed or wounded 1000 Russians prac-
t,callv destroying one regiment and
capturing several officers and six guns.
In sixteen hours fighting from Fri
day night the Russians on the east
front were defeated I'm series of en-
gagements and at nightfall on Satur-
day retired behind the inner defenses
Of Anping. AT that time their left wing
south Of ITO Tai river was in a perilous
position. and an artillery duel was In
progress for the possession of three
hills northeast of the Lanhe river, the
rapture Of which by General Kurokrs
army may make 1t necessary for Gen
eral KuropatlIin TO retire from Lao
yang at once.
Russians Forced From Fortified Posts.
A second bulletin from General Ko-
DANA announces the complete triumph
Of the Japanese movement from the
south on Anshan. General Oku's right
and center had the co operation Of
General Kwolsrs left wing. The Rus
slams were forced to retire from forti-
fed positions without an assault by
the japanese soldiers owing to the
brilliant success Of the Fifth division,
under General Tashima, which broke
the left OF the Russian center north of
Anshan and compelled the Russians to
the south to retire from the Sheng val
ley.
In driving I'm the Russians from the
south and southeast General OlKu re
ports his loss to have been less than
300. He estimates the Russian loss in
dead and wounded at 100. lie has
captured Z officers and 200 men, with
several guns II appears from these
bulletins that the Japanese generals
| have narrowed the semiclrcle held by
| General Kuropatkin to one-half the di-
mensions OF last Wednesday. His
southern army has been forced north
ten miles, and his troops in the outly.
ing positions east of Anping and Kau-
chingtze have been forced back toward
the railroad west from eight to twelve
miles. The Japanese artillery has been
successful in taking all the fortified
hills commanding the Sheng valley
and the position of General Kuropat
kin is regarded as hopeless.
II is reported that General Kurok
has seized and cut the railroad nortl
Of Mukden. thus separating the Rus
sian forces and cutting Liaoynng of
from n direct line of retreat. but con
firmation OF this report cannot he oh
tanned. II is expected that Generals
Kuroh. Oku and Nodzu will press for
ward speedily.
