Mrs Frances Crane Lille of Chi

House Woman's club that little girls
should be dressed like little boys, car
ries out her theories iii her own family
but has had to build high brick wall
around her home to keep the curious
from staring at her children, says a
special Chicago dispatch.
Mrs. Lille has two children of her
own, Catherine, aged four, and Mar
garet, fifteen months. She has adopt
ed two boys, Albert, eleven, and Ethan.
four. Ethan and Catherine are dress

same games and have the same in

Mrs. Lille believes girls should dress
like boys until they are twelve years
old
Girls are narrow minded and petty
because they have never had chance
to be anything else. We should treat
children as individuals, not asgmem-
bers Of sex. If a boy wants a doll
he ought to have it. and the girl who
would rather climb trees ought not to

dress dolls. Playing with dolls doesn't

nonsense.

Fearful Loss OF Life In YaIu Battle.
According to the reports Of the num-
Der Killed and wounded at the recent
battle Of the Yalu, It was perhaps the
bloodiest engagement Of all history
when the number Of engaged is con
sidered says the Philadelphia Press.
The total loss III killed In the three
days lighting at Gettysburg in the
civil war was 5,062, and about 175,000
men were engaged. The losses on
both sides at the Yalu battle are re-
ported to be between 5000 and 6,000
men. The number Of men engaged at
the outside estimate could not have
exceeded $4,000. That would show a
loss Of 10 per cent as compared with
IVA per cent at Gettysburg. But the
guns now used are much more deadly
than those iu use at Gettysburg.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER
SO FEET AT MEMPHIS
Local Situation Is Still Prac-

NO SERIOUS TRAFFIC DELAYS

st. Francis Levee, for Which Fears
Were Entertained, Is still In Tact,

Memphis, Tenn, April 1.-THE Mis-.
sissippi river today marks SO feet on
the gauge and stationary.
1t will probably remain at this stage
until tomorrow morning, when it will
begin to recede.
The local situation is practically un
changed, no serious delays to traffic
on any railroads has been reported
and the only Inconvenience due to
the flood in this city is experienced
in the transfer by the street railways
at several points along their 0hes.
The officials of the st. Francis
levee board believe that with anything
like good luck the st. Francis levee
will stand the strain. The weakest
points are at FIollybush and Bradleys,
Ark, and uni ass bad weather sets in

day.

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION.
Firing Guns from Forts Caused Con
siderable Excitement.

siderable Excitement.
New ChWang, April 11-An official
explanation was issued today of the
firing Of guns from the forts here last
night, which has caused a certain
amount of excitement and the killing
of two Chinese.
1t appears from the official state
ment that, owing to the fact that the
officers of the garrison did not under
stand the system of customs flash sig
nails in use at the mouth OF the river,
for the purpose of signalling the depth
of the water on the bar SO as to en-
able ships to put to sea, fire was open
ed last night on some pilot boats and
outWard-bOund merchantmen.
The vessels were sighted by the
forts some time after midnight, and at
1890 o'clock the artillery opened fire
on the vessels. Twenty-four shots
were fired, including projectiles from
large guns. The effect of the fire
had not been reported up to noon to-
day but the firing on and the killing
Of two Chinese opposite the foreign
settlement and miles from the forts
was reported.
The Chinese had become alarmed at
the firing and were endeavortng to
cross the river.
In view of the reports received here
of Japanese activity in Korea and O
the arrival of the Japanese troops on
the Yalu river, it is understood the
troops of the garrison had been fully
warned that it was possible the Jap
anese would make an attack on this
place, and the citizens on hearing the
firing naturally supposed the attack
was being made last night.

There appears to be a general demand
for his continuance in the position he

he carried the party with wonderful
success through the two greatest cam.
paigns in it's history, that of 1898, and
that of 1900, the latter being known
