A MORE CHEERFUL VIEW.

St Petersburg, Sept (1:0O D. m.)-- As the Russian newspapers begin to realize more fully the catastrophe which General Kllropa tkdn avoided at I4iaoyang and the skillful manner ln which he upset Field Marshal Oyama's plan to surround the Russian army they take a more cheerful view of the result and are beginning to bestow upon Kuropatkin great praise. It is now apparent that Oyama's purpose by pressing the Russian positions in front of Liaoyang was to hold Kulro- patkin's attention while the Japanese right wing was thrust around the Rus sian rear to block the Russian line of retreat But Kuropatlin, at its very inception, had his eye upon this flank ing movement and countered by early withdrawing his main army to the right bank of the Taitse river, chang ing his front to meet and hold General KurolSi dn check while General Zarou- boieff's corps at Liaoyang crossed, burning the bridges behind him and placing the river between him and General Okl Both the Russian and Japanese accounts seem to agree in saying that when the withdrawal OF the main Russian army from Liaoyang began lKuropatlSin had beaten off the Japanese assaults Ill TTOnT or I1ia0yang and that the Russian commander in. chiefs first movement against Kuroki was also measurably successful
 While not under estimating the diff faculties attending the task of the re- tirement of the army northward ana the continued threat from 0yama's right, the Novoe Vremya evidently con, siders that 1t already has practically been successfully accomplished.
 The Noyosti says:
 .In England, France and Germany the serious nature of the consequences Of the defeat of the Russian army is fully appreciated, and as the views of their military critics are by no means unfavoraQ)le, there exist no reasons why we should give way to despair over n defeat which never took place."
 The InvaHd Russ, the army organ, also continues to maintain that Oyama met with strategical defeat, but it expresses the opinion that Oyama has not yet given up hope of fianl1ing General Kuropatkin, for which be is strength thening Kuxoki and

BLUE AND BROWN
Generals Bell and Grant Working Hard Near Fa-
 nous Battlefield.

Corps Headquarters, Gainesville, Va, Sept 7.-General Grant took up his task of forcing General Bell and his Brown army through Thorough fare Gap at midnight. Fighting did not begin at that hour, but the re- alignment of positions and the as- suming of new orders occupied the forces of both armies until daylight. The imaginary endorsements or rhs Blue army, to arrive during the night from Fairfax court house, reached their destination, and were placed in position on General Grants left General Bell was officially notified of the arrival of these endorsements, on the principle that he would have ascertained the fact through his scouts were the endorsements ae
 All of the men in General Grants command who were ruled otft yester- day will be placed in the lines to-day as n part of these endorsements And to that extent they are not imaginary. General Bell, notwith- standing the repulse of the attack on his center which was in progress when the day closed yesterday at 3 o'clock, deemed 1t advisable to fall back to a shorter defensive line. This he established during the night froM Buckland, on the extreme south of the zone through Thoroughfare, which is about mile and half east of the Gap, to Antioch, on the ex- treme north. The defense was es- tablished by daylight, and it is on this line that General Grant is ad- vancing. Barry's brigade of the Brown army holds the line from Buckland to Thoroughfare, where 1t joins Regan's brigade, which extends 1t to Little Bull Run on the forth. Smiths brigade completes 1t to An tioch. Lees brigade is in reserve near Thoroughfare. General Grant has not yet fully developed his at tack, but the indications from the fir ing are that his main attack Is to be delivered by General Wint, forming his right The brigades of Bliss and Frost, which were not seriously en- gagged yesterday. doubtless will be thrown into action to-day.

STILL A
 MYSTERY
Whereabouts of the
 Huss Money.
Wrappings Which Contain ed the Money Have Been Found Two Telegrams From St, Louis Further Mystified the Affair.

Louis Huss has received a few tel egrams concerning the loss of his $S04, but what they may lead to he has not the. slightest idea The tele- grams were received by him late yes terday afternoon and he immediately handed them over to the police. The first was as follows:
 "St Louis, Sept 6, 1904.
 Louis Huss, Waterbury, Conn
 MT Huss Have you lost any thing in the last day or two? If so, let me know at once.
 Walter Grover, Planters Hotel'
 Though the telegram shed no light on the location Of the lost money, it threw MT Huss into a pitch of ex- citement. The idea that anyone in St Louis knew anything about his loss amazed him, and it got him to surmising great many things. He sent the following to Walter Gro yer"
 T did lose Ss04 in bills, and three checks and an order on the Adams Express Co.,
 The above was sent after'a confer ence with the police, by whom MT Huss has been advised since his loss Saturday night.
 As soon as could be expected Mir Huss received the following response to his telegram:
 We sent the package by express with $629. I will write you full par ticuiars tomorrow. Walter Grover,
 MT Huss has not the slightest knowledge of Walter Grover" He never heard of him before and why he should take such a decidedly keen interest in his affairs is one of the mysteries in this matter which MT Huss is trying to solve. Philanthro- pists are not conspicuous in St Louis at this season and it would not sur prise the police if the telegrams turn ed out to be part of the plot to take this money from MT Huss's book keeper. The police are virtually sea In a very small boat concerning the matter. They have not the slightest clue, but this morning they said that they found the parcel which Miss Connerton says held the money. Ii was found In an ash barrel in the yard of the fourth house east of Jacques theater on Abbott avenue. The parcel consisted of few articles of childs' wear It Is supposed from the finding of the parcel III this place that the thief left MT Egan's house by the rear door, crossed Spencer avenue and got over to Abbott avenue through the intervening yards. 1t is also sup posed that he had been watching Miss Connerton's movements for some time and that he had been fairly well ac- quainted with the interior of MT Egan's house without the latter know ing 1t.
 MT Huss said this afternoon that he had received no further communT- cation from St Louis or any otler place about his missing money.

The situation in the money market is not yet unfavorable to present bull operations, says Banker Clews, Though loans are at high water
 mark, and though the reserve was cut in half long before the crop demands had reached their maximum. the sur plus is still much above the average at this season and the margin of safety has not yet been exhausted. The money market is just now largely con- trolled by the same financial and bank ing interests who are engineering the current rise and who are quite likely to be among the first to appreciate monetary limitations. Nevertheless, the first indications of a turn will come either from heavy inside selling or contraction in the money market. One of the main sources of buoyancy is the increasing supplies of money Several millions of gold are now on the way from Australia to be added to our already plethoric stock of gold the infiationary effect of which upon val ues is not yet fully appreciated. Our circulation increased over $3,8OO, GOO in September, and is now more than $15,- 100000 in excess of October 1 last year. This redundancy of money and it's effect upon interest rates is un. questienably one of the most powerful elements in the present bull move ment.

The men who followed Bryan's lead for eight years will hardly want to vote for President Roosevelt. even for the sake of hurting Parker's chances or giving Tom Watson boost. A few years ago, when Bryan was making his second run for the presidency, here is what Roosevelt, said about him: Undoubtedly Bryan has great hold upon the unintelligent and the vicious. He attracts that type of farmer whose gate hangs on the hinge, whose old hat supplies the place of missing window pane, and who is more likely to be found at the crossroads grocery store than behind the blow He at tracts still more the professional la- boring man of the type that labors as little as possible, and continually strives to delude such workingmen as are ignorant and foolish enough to be misled into some movement which can not but end in disaster. But the thrifty, intelligent and resolute are in the majority and it was my inyariable experience that men of this stamp, even if somewhat predisposed to Bryan, were repelled by the cheapness of the man. I do not like to use such a word in reference to a presidential candidate, but there is no other word describes him so well.'. ss.

BEAUTY HINTS.

Washing with borax or soda has a tendency to keep the hair light. I consider, however, that these make the hair dry and brittle, and believe that it is better to let nature have her way. Sun your hair as much as you can. Put up this old-fashioned pre- scription for whitening and smooth ing the skin: Sifted wheat bran in fused for four hours in white wine vinegar; yolks of five eggs; two grains ambergris: distill the whole; cork for two weeks. Apply every night and morning. Before using it at night wash the face in very warm water and rub with comlexion brush.
 If one hip is larger than the other go to work to learn the cause. Do you stand with them uneven? It is said that you can even the hips by persist ently standing with the low one thrown up, thus reversing the error Do you carry articles on one side? Change the habit. IA famous physi- clan ordered a pair of shoes made for a patient, one shoe having cork sole which raised the low hip, and the re- suit was that the hips became even, so that the patient returned to com mon shoes. You can easily try this.
 The following is an excellent cucum- Der cream: Six ounces sweet almond oil heated in a bouble boiler; when beginning to warm add four large cu- cumbers which have been washed and cut into little squares, rind and all.
 Put the boiler where the water will simmer gently for Ave hours. Then strain and measure up six ounces of the preparation. Add two ounces lam olin, one ounce white wax, one ounce spermaceti Melt all together, remove from the stove and beat with egg beater until cold; adding, while doing so. two teaspoonsful tincture benzoin. Massaging is not designed for en- larged pores. Use the complexion brush. warm water and castillo soap for them every night and give the face cold dash in the morning. Eat plenty of fruit The following is q good cold cream which you can make yourself: One pint oil of sweet al- monds, one-half pint rose water, one ounce white wax, one-half ounce spermaceti, all melted together and beaten to a paste.
 For prematurely gray hair massage the entire scalp every night, using good eau de quinine two or three times week.
 If caustic will not remove your warts, try nitric acid or caustic pot ash.
