to this novel accompaniment. The Jap

Suddenly, almost below them on the op-
posite side of the trenches, lines of fire

soldiers jumped to their feet and reached
for their guns. As they peered over the
parapet of the trenches hand grenades
were hurled by the Russians who had
crept up below. These exploded with
terrible result among the defenders.
The scenes on Mijayana after the
attacks was indicative of what war real
ly means. The hill was literally soaked
in blood. The stencil from the hundreds
OF corpses was overpowerino, the star
ing and still bodies, robbed by Chinese
hangers-on, made scene more terrible
than at Omdurman. AS we climbed up
the hill we saw smoke ascending from
the lower fields where already sanitary
corps offers were gathering bodies into
heaps, with wood literally laid among
them, and were burning them. The
sicllly sweet smell of the burning flesh,
the odor of the dead on the hill and
of the blood around-that was war!
TROUBLES OF WRITERS.
sAs 10 the treatment of the cores
pondents one must take into considera-
ton the fact that they were dealing with
a people of ideas far different from
theirs, and so often they offended each
other without intending TO. Then one
japanese department would promise one
thing, and another would unpromise it,
unintertionally and so on until the cor
respondents became angry. The Japan
ese authorities have now shown in the
most respectful manner that they are
going to give the correspondents greater
liberty at the front.
"As to Japanese strategy [ cannot pass
an opinion upon that. 1t is masterful
and well planned beforehand Every
movement is planned from a beginning
to an end, but the Japanese have yet
to show that when these plans are
broken they can entirely meet the new
situation"

BY Lady.
When the Auctioneer arrives know
The fateful day had come at last;
took a last, long lingering view,
OF things much cherished in the past.
For they were ordered to be sold,
And on this day we had to part;
And though the goods were worn and
old,
I felt a sadness in my heart.
I saw the objects handed round,
And heard sarcastic comments made;
<'The carpets had too light a ground
The curtains much too dark a shade"
My dress was up-I shed tear
(They sold my private wardrobe, too.)
But though twas old, that Auctioneer
Got almost what it cost. when new.
And when found what all had brought,
My fase was wrinklcd with smile;
I hustled out and soon had bought
An outfit OF the latesi style.

PEOPLE WE KNOW

Local Interest.

When an incident like the following
occurs right here at home. 1t is bound
to carry weight with our readers. So
many strange occurrences go the
rounds of the press; are published as
facts, people become skeptical. On one
subject skepticism is rapidly disappear
ing. This is due to the actual expert
ence of our citizens, ana their public
utterances regarding them. The doubt
ar must doubt no more in the face OF
such evidence as this. The public state
ment of a reputable citizen living right
in Honolulu, one whom You can see
every day, leaves no ground for the
skeptic to stand on.

a happy one, so that I much desired

This I found in Doan's Backache Kid

the HOLSTER Drug Co.'S store. I am
pleased to say that they gave me not
merely temporary but permanent relief

MALTINa COMPANY SUED.
Stockholders Allege Mismanagement
and Ask Damages.

A dispatch from New York yesterday
says: The American Mailing Company to-
day asked leave to file an amended answer
to an action In which it is named as de-
PENDANT, together with Charles NJ. Warner,
Hutchinson and Victor X. MoElbany. tr..
in behalf of themselves and other stock
holders similarly situated The plaintiffs
are seeking to recover by this and similar
suits from Warner and other directors the
81. $50. GOO in dividends and $650,0O0 alleged
damages.
Counsel for Mr.. Warner opposed the mo-
tion claiming that the company desired to
continue in the position of the defendant,
and at the same time adopt the complaint
Of the plaintiff as It's amended answer,
whereas its proper course would be to be
substituted as a party plaintiff instead OF
defendant.
The American Mailing Company was Or
ganized as New Jersey corporation, with
capital Of $3O,00O000. After paying for
100000 was left in the treasury to con-
duct the business Five dividends of IL
per cent each were paid, the stock of the
company going to a high figure. The plain
tiffs allege that the payment of these dvi-
bends rendered the company practically in
solvent. SO that the directors had to borrow
100000 on a bond issue for, which they
had to pay 10 per cent; $4,000 is alleged
to have been wasted out of the $400O, OG0,
while the 81, 000,00 paid for underwriting
the bond issue is also characterized as
waste.
The defendants deny they were guilty OF
carelessness or fraud. The company is now
carrying on its business with a new board
Of directors. Justice Leventreet reserved
his decision.

St. Louis Health Commissioner Stirred
Up by Their Malpractice.
A special to the New York World from
st. Louis Yesterday sayss
The death of Mrs. w. H. Davis, which
occurred at the City Hospital Monday night
from blood poisoning according to the
coroners verdict, was due to "palpable
negligence" DIR. John II. Simon, health
commissioner, has resolved to wage a cru
SADIE against the practices of the cult
known as Christian Scientists, who, he
says, allow the members of their faith
to suffer without medical attendance. Ac-
cording to the health commissioner they
are directly responsible for the loss Of
many lives which, with proper medical at
tention might have been saved.
II will take immediate steps to put a
stop to these Christian Scientist practices
in ST. Louis said DIR. Simon today. 'In a
civilized community we have no place for
such an alleged faith as the one known
as Christian Science.
"a science which will permit the sacri-
fee of lives which, In possibly nine cases
out of ten, could be saved by adequate
medical attention Is anything but Chris
tian.'
''Such instances as the death of Mrs Da-
Wis seem to make up an important chapter
In the history of Christian Science, and 1t
is revolving to think that in this age we
permit such so-called faithx to flourish.
Personally, I am determined to stamp
out what l regard as one OF the most men
acing evils of our day, II It can be done;
der the cloak of religions faith should
not save 1t from the hand of the law.
II am unable at the present moment to
say just what form my crusade against
that am not informed as to- how the law
can be made to apply to them.

pie, where the lane closed up narrowly
owing to the encroachment of the outer
wall of the back court. Here his tormentor
drew fairly abreast Of him, brushing him
with his foul rags as he flung out his gaunt

Meredith turned on him angrily then and

CHAPTER VI.

1t was o'clock In the evening when
Meredith turned out of Grant road and
started through the labyrinth of side streets
and alleys for the corner of the Copper
Smith Bazaar, whence he felt sure
he could find his way TO the little court
where Lola had her dwelling. He might
easily have taken a hamal as guide or
have asked his way and made certain
of finding 1t, but he was keenly alive to
the unconventionality of his visit, and.
while that added to it's fascination, he was
not at all DESTROYS of any comment upon the
matter.
He stopped a moment under the awning
of a pretty little birri seller and told her,
after she had lighted his cigar, Just how
pretty he thought her. His Hindustanee
was far from perfect. and the maiden
laughed gaily at his lamely worded compi-
ment, but she gave him little spray OF
Jasmine from her hair Just the same. He
smelled 1t, and. fastening 1t in his coat
sauntered on down the street. He noticed
that the place seemed almost deserted
and recollected that there was some festi-
val. and that Hindus and Moslems alike
were probably gathered at some of the
larger temples.
He skirted Camatepura and cut into 6
narrow, lily lighted side street On the cor
ner a beggar hailed him from the edge o,
the gutter. He was binding up sore les
