got to put-on, to be equal to one of De
voc.

two houses one coat, five years ago, lead
and-oil, took 40 gallons.
Last summer bought 40 gallons Devoe
for same houses; had 10 gallons left.
Mr.. n. Avery, Delhi, n. Y, owns two
houses exactly alike; painted one with
Devoe; took gallons. The other with
some other; took II gallons.
What'd you give for those off paints
Bear in mind, you've got to pay for the
painting.

 The situation is the continuation of several months of trouble iri the church. A majority of the congrega- tion, 1t seems. accuse the priest of mis- management of the churchs finances and demanded his removal. Bishop Phelan refused to acede to the demand and ordered khe church ad.s' If1,

MURDER AND SUICIDE
JAMES DRUIN KILLED MRS. AMAN-
 DA HARPER.
Jealousy Between Two Women Sup posed to Have Caused Double Tragedy in Cincinnati E1at-
 Woman q Georgian.

Cincinnati, Aug. 2S.-Mrs. Amanda Harter, aged 3S, and James Leonard Druin. aged 20, were found dead on their fiat in the Normandie, on Race Street today. under circumstances that indicate murder and suicide. With them lived Fannie Harter, aged IA, the niece and foster daughter of the wo- man.
 Mrs. Harter came here originally from Macon. Ga. Her husband was in business here. but left her, charging her with infidelity. It is reported that the girl and her foster mother were jealous of each other on account of Druin, who came originally from Leb- anon, Ky. and while employed at the postoffice here rented a room of Mrs. Harter.
 The theofy most credited was that Mrs. Harter. in a jealous fit, gave the girl a beating. that Druin interfered, strangled Mrs. Harter 10 death. and afterwards cut her head into pieces with a natcnet. After he had cut Mrs. Harter's body in horrible man ner, it is claimed that he wanted the girl to escape with him. When she refused to go with him, he killed him self by shooting. One theory Is that he thought he would be caught if he remained with the girl and that he did not want to leave her.
 The girl would make no statement until tonight, when she said she was sleeping last night with her foster mother when Druin carried her to his room, locked her in and killed Mrs. Harter. Then he unlocked his room and asked her to go with him. When she refused he begged her to commit suicide with him. and threatened her life, but finally bade her goodbye and shot himself

PORT ARTHUR IS STRONG.
Reports of Weakness Denied by Dis.
 uufch Carrier.


 Liaoyang. Aug. 5.-(Delayed.) )-Nu merous reliable reports which have reached here through a dispatch car rier and other persons, are to the ef- feet that despite the extreme Japan ese measures of the past fortnight to perfect blockade of Port Arthur by means of sinking all junks near that place, the Russians inside of Port Ar thur are considerably underestimated as is also the resisting power of the fortress. which is likely to hold out for two months, and possibly until Jan uary even under such a strength of assault as the Japanese are using.
 Contrary to the belief that the Ja- panese have taken the outer forts at Port Arthur, 1t Is now understood that the Russians, up to August 15. were successfully defending these strong holds.
 The old town has been subject to a fire of an average of 25 Japanese shells daily. the restaurants and clubs. prop erly safeguarded, continued to open, and there was good order throughout the town. The Japanese occasionally shell the new town and often attempt to rush the outer trenches, sometimes arriving to within 10 yards of them, when they are unable to hold their own owing to the mortality in the ranks.
 The wounded from Kaofeng Shik are arriving here today. An important en- gagement is expected at Kaofeng Shik this morning. but there has been m report from that quarter up to 1O o'clock.
 Two Japanese, supposed to be cor respondents, having cameras in pos session, were captured outside their lines.
 The position at Kaofeng Shik at 2 o'clock this morning was unchanged
