Walter H. Page in the Worlds Work

Walter H. Page in the Worlds Work
siiys that the industrial era has made
more men cultivated. Before the diff.
fusion of well-being. the proportion
of men of culture to the whole popula-
tion was very small in any country.
With the growth of industry and the
coming Of physical comfort, this pro.
portion has grown beyond calculation.
We are within sight Of time wflen
a majority Of well-to-do persons will
become, to some extent. cultivated.
1t has brought physical comfort, for
the first time, to large class of man
kind; and there is much cultivation in
sheer physical comfort. The most
pathetic chapter in human experience
is that long chapter which tells OF
mems trying to thank God because
He had deprived them of ease. and
had made life hard and insanitary. It
was equivalent to thanking God for
bad food and dyspepsia, for bad beds
and rheumatism, for foul air and
tuberculosis. When we first got run.
ming water in our Houses a great i'm.
pulse was given to culture.

PRESIDED AT ALBANY LAST TIME
Without Any Advance Announcement
He Arrived at Albany, Took Part in
Clearing Up Practically All the
Cases Before the Court Of Appeals
and Then Sent in His Resignation
to the Secretary of State.

Albany, N. Y, Specialization B.
Parker ceased to be Chief Judge of the
Court Of Appeals Of this State at 3:S0
p. m. Friday, and became the unframed
ed candidate OF the Democratic party
for the presidency of the United States,
lacking only the formal notification of
his nomination, which will take place
at Rosemount next Wednesday after
noon.
Without any advance announcement
Or intimation of his purpose, he came
to Albany, took part with five of the
other judges in clearing UP practically
all of the cases which had been argued
before the court, and then sent mes
senger to file his formal resignation in
the Office of the Secretary of State, as
the constitution and public officers law
required.
He left Esopus at 1925 a. M, accom-
panied by the newspaper men who
have been on duty at Rosemount ever
since his nomination. Until after the
train had left Kingston, he would not
divulge his destination. Few people in
the day coach in which he rode appear
ed to recognize him, though there were
one or two Ulster county acquaintances
with whom he chatted until the train
reached Kingston. He arrived in AL
bany just after o'clock, and after
luncheon went to the capitol and at
once Joined in consultation with his
colleagues over the cases pending be-
fore the court. The consultation lasted
a little over one hour, and at 1905 the
judges filed into the coIrt room and
handed down to the clerk 66 decisions
which practically cleared up the busi-
ness before the court. The only cases
are two or three in the I
hands Of Judges Gray and Bartlett, who
are in Europe. All Of the cases in
which Judge Parker was assisting

feature Of the session of the court was
hat the judges were without the long,

Official Report Of the Fighting at

st. Petersburg, BY Cable.-An Off
cial report from Lieutenant Genera
Stoessel, commanding the military
forces at Port Arthur, says that the
Japanese were repulsel with tremen-
dous loss in three days fight from
July 26th to July 2Sth. General Kuro-
patkin reports from Lao Yang some
small Russian successes in outpost
fighting up to August s, without the ex-
pected great battle having been open
ed. The simultaneous receipt of favor
able news from these commanders in
the far East raised the spirits of those
In the Russian capital immensely. The
dispatches were printed in special
newspaper bulletins and were eagerly
bought up on the streets. The newsboys
around the depots met the returning
crowds Of Sunday pleasureseekers and
shouted their wares without being re-
proved by tbe police, and thousands Of.
st. Petersburgers went to their homes
apparently satisfied that favorable
turn of affairs had commenced at the
front
General Stoessels report, though ten
Gays old. is taken as satisfactory ref
rtation Of the recently repeated rumors
cf the fall of Port Arthur. He states
that the determined Japanese assaults
Were repulsed with tremendous loss,
and figures 10000 as the number OF
Japanese killed or wounded. This is
admittedly on Chinese information,
which heretofore has proved to be of
exceedingly doubtful value.
But with Russian losses of 1,500 as
a basis, the authorities here consider
that 10000 is fairly conservative esti-
mate, since the Japanese were beaten
off in what must have been desperate
assaIt on tremendously strong fortia-c|
cations. The fact that the Japanese
were not able to remove their dead
and wounded is taken to prove that |
their defeat must have been one Of
great severity.
