PLAN TO END WAR.
AMERICAN SUGGESTS INTERCEs-
SION BY UNITED STATES.
Consul at st. Petersburg Explains His
Proposition-Says Gear Would
Gladly Accept Our
Good Ofices.

There may come soon to the United
States an opportunity for bringing to
an end the war between Russia and
Japan. That opportunity, II duly taken
advantage of by the American execu.
tive, will result in removing all danger
Of misunderstanding between Washing
ton and St Petersburg, and in cement
Ing the friendly relations which are
traditional of the two countries. By
one stroke the United. States can do
Russia a good turn and can benefit
herself and the world at large.
This is the opinion OF a hardheaded,
practical man Of business with excep-
tional advantages Of forming a sea-
soned judgment. He is w. E. Smith,
the consul general of the United States
In st. Petersburg, who is at present
in London. Mr.. Smith says that Rus
sia was surprised into war. Three
weeks before the rupture of diplomatic
relations a contract had been entered
Into for the electric lighting Of Port
Arthur. Russia could not now help
going on with the fighting, but once
she gained a victory on land her pres
tige would admit of her listening to
pourparlers for peace. Then" said
Mr.. Smith. "let the United States step
in and proffer her good Offices. Wash
ington can do what no other govern
ment could attempt. 1t would not be
a mistake, far from 1t, if the president
were to send a special ambassador to
st. Petersburg. He would be persona
gratissima at the Russian court. The
car would meet him more than half
way" Mr.. Smith deplored the suspi-
cions of Russia which appeared to be
prevalent among a portion of the
American press.
Some Americans seemed unable to
understand the Muscovite diplomacy,
just as the Russians were puzzled by
the American straight-from-the-sh
der methods. Allowances ought to be
made on both sides for the differences
in national temperament. at is in
the interest Of the United States" he
continued, ito remain on the best of
terms with Russia. AS it is l think
there is a deal of exaggeration in the
reports sent to English papers of
American sympathy for the Japanese.
| do not question the existence of such
sympathy, but l do believe the Eng
lish correspondents magnify it in or
der to minimize the fact that among
Americans there are many good friends
Of Russia"
Speaking of conditions in Russia,
Mr. Smith said he had just heard in
letters from St. Peter burg that the
current expenses over and above the
military estimate in the budget
amounted to s1.75O.OOO daily. He did
not think Russia would need to have
recourse to a foreign loan. but an in
ternal loan probably would be neces-
g'rv. but this would be easily raised,
for there was a tremendous amount
of money in the country. Moscow
alone could furnish a good many mil

ODD MARRIAGE RECORD.
Matrimonial Ventures of an Indiana
Woman-Has Had Seven Hus-
bands and They 81 Wives.

Miss Sophia Denton, Of New Albany,
Ind (she still claiming her maiden
nance, a belle of Jackson county i'll
the early SOS, has a marriage record
that is unsurpassed. She has been
married seven times, and her seven
husbands have been married on an
average of three times each.
The record has been brought to
light by New Albany attorneys, who
are prosecuting a pension claim for the
woman. She is now 70 years old, and
is for the seventh time a widow. Her
home is in Jackson county, nea-
Brownstown, and her entire life has
been spent in Scott and Jackson coun-
ties. The attorneys decline to give her
present name.
One Of the peculiar features of the
remarkable marriage record is that
each time the woman has been married
under her maiden name. Sophia Dem
ton. It is known that at least three
Of her husbands have died.
She has drawn pensions at different
times as the widow of two Of her hus-
bands, and her application for a third
pension has brought about the present
investigation.

MrA n g. stephenA Of New York

the purchase Of FIVE acres Of land at
Central Islip, L. l., which she proposes
to lay out as a cemetery for the
interment of blooded dogs. The

out, will be purchased and held in the
name of the Canine Idelwild Cemetery
association.
For long time, it is explained, own
ers of blooded dogs in New York have
been at a loss to know where to bury
their pets. To allow the public scav-
enger or any such person to cart off
the bodies of their dead four-footed
friends was repugnant, and Mrs. Steph-
ems has originated the idea of purchas-
ing the tract Plots for the interment
of dogs can be purchased where monu-
mental stones can be erected with suit
able inscriptions and the last resting
place be kept green for all time.
Mrs. Stephens has arranged with a

COUNTY BRIDGES.

The thought was suggested to us
today that county bridges ought to
be painted oftener than they are in or
der 10 Feep them from rustlng and
also 10 make them look attractive. In
the old countries. and especially IN
England. the matter Of keeping up
county bridges is very important ana
no bridge is allowed to rust from
lack of paint. There are some
bridges in Wayne county that need
paint. and the fact that they do not
receive the necessary coat OF
beauty is not the fault Of the coun-
ty commissioners 1t IS not with
them like it used to be. They are
now subject 10 the county council
and are limited in their allowances.
If Wayne eounty's three commission
ers (and there are none better in any
couty) had their way every bridge in
the county would be shining like
cat heel Aside from the looks Of
the bridge. it would also be an eco
nomical streak. Rust eats iron and
iron costs money. Let the bridges
be painted.
