Washington. Aug. 24.--It is asserted
positively at the naNy department that
the American fleet at Shanghai is not
charged with protecting Chinese neu-
trality by any special instructions. The
officials are convinced that the Japan
esq have no intention OF violating Chi
neSe neutrality.
Washington, Aug. 24.-Consul Gen
eral Goodnow cables the state depart
ment today from Shanghai telling of
the appearance of Japanese vessels in
the harbor there. He made no mention
of the reported action of the American
torpedo boat.
Shanghai. Aug. 24.-The taotai has
Russian vessels Askold and GroZoboi.
which have been ordered now to leave
by noon Tuesday. The American men
of war in the harbor have for several
days been practically cleared for ac-
ton, with gun sights in position and
steam up. Rear Admiral Sterling is
determined the Japanese shall not in
terfere with the Russian vessels. He
has. 1t is reported, offered to escort
them beyond the three mile limit.
Rear Admiral Sterling says the trip
of h American torpedoboat destroyer
Chauncey. from Woosung to Shanghai,
yesterday was to carry dispatches. Her
movements had no connection with the
arrival of a Japanese destroyer. A
meeting Of foreign consuls here today
resulted in the preparation of a state
1nent of the established facts regarding
the Russian warships Askold and
Grozoboi. The Russian authorities
show a disinclination to consider their
refusal to comply with China's demand
that the two ships either leave Shang-
hal or disarm.

RUSSIAN SUPERSTITION.
Alleged Prophecy OF St. Serafin
as to the War in the East.

There is much talk in st. Petersburg
and in other Russian cities of the PROB
ability that the car will go to the seat
of war, says the Paris Temps. A new
" discovered prophecy of ST. Serafin,
It is said, will induce him to take su-
preme command of the Russian forces
in the east.
Last July, it will be remembered, the
remains of St Serafin of Sarof were
carried into a church specially built
for their reception. Father Serafn, as
he was commonly called, died about
seventy years ago in the desert Of Sa-
rof and was buried near his hermit
hut. Some little time after his death
a we'll not far from his grave was dis
covered whose water had curative
qualities. The church after due inves-
tigation concluded that the well was
holy, and the saint was canonized.
Last year the emperor and all the i'm
perial family were present at the re-
moval of the saints remains. The car
himself and three grand dukes carried
the precious burden to the place pre-
pared for 1t, and it was the Czarina
ELECTROMAGNETIC, by the way, of late
has become very pious-who designed
the drapery and the decorations which
mark the new place where the bones
Of the saint lie
Here is one Of the predictions said
to have been made by st. Seratin:
During the year following the remov-
al of my ashes hence to church ter
rible war will be bet loose upon Russia,
and It will cause much suffering. The
car will go to that war. will go
with him, and we will tear to pieces
the apron Of England"
This prediction first came to light
last July. 1t was discussed IN several
court circles and great Importance was
attached to the promise Of the saint to
accompany the car to the front. AS
to the apron of England" which is to
be torn to tatters, that does not neces-
sarily mean war with England. In all
probability the "apron" means Japan,
by which England Is shielded IN her
War against Russia.
It is also contended that st. Serafin
was in reality Alexander l., who re-
tired to a convent after his involuntary
participation In the murder Of his IA
Their, Paul l. Later on he became the
hermit of the desert of Sarof. This, 1t
is said, is the real reason why the car
and the imperial family were present
at the second funeral of the prophet.

Caution !

This is not gentle word but when
you think how liable you are not to
purchase the only remedy universally
known and remedy that has had the
arg est sale of any medicine in the
world since 1868 for the cure and treat
ment of consumption and throat and
lung troubles without loosing its great
popularity all these years you will be
thankful we called your attention TO
Boschee's German Syrup. There are
many ordinary cough remedies
made by druggists and others that are
cheap and good for light colds per-
haps, but for severe coughs, bronohit-

ton, where there is difficult expecJora-

He ran to the rear of the wagon and

GIRLS AS PEANUT EATERS.
Wesleyan Students Consumed
Thirty Bushels Last Term.
From the Macon News.

From the Macon News.
1t is estimated by well-known deal
err in the neighborhood of WESLEYAN
Female College, that during the past
term which has just come to a close
that there was sold to the young ladies
of the institution not less than thirty
bushels of peanuts.
This dealer stated that he him
self had sold approximately twenty
bushels of the article TO the students,
and that it was cafe to say that at
least ten bushels, If not more, were
furnished by other parties.
No estimate has been made upon the
consumption of the same article by the
Mercer students, but it Is thought that
a much larger quantity OF this popular
delicacy that springs from Georgia
soil has found its way to the university.
1t is also reckoned that the require
ments of the students of the business
colleges has not been behind the
record of the other institutions named.
Those who have been engaged in the
peanut business for years say that
while many are grown in Georgia that
the yield of Georgia peanuts is nothing
like what is needed to supply the de-
mand OF Georgia people, so that each
year it Is necessary to place large
orders In the Carolinas and Virginia.
Medical authorities state that pea
nuts are among the most healthful
articles of food. 1t has been suggested
that the phenomenal good health en-
ioyed by the student population OF the
city has been in no small way due to
the large returns of the peanut market.

Torpedo Jim" drove up to the
house and waited for Annie to
come out. The buggy was of a
peculiar build, and a stranger would
have wondered at the high springs and
elevated box. On one side there were
forked iron holders at the front and
rear which served to carry long tin
shells much resembling pieces Of I'M
painted water spouting, only that they
were larger In diameter and tapered to
a sealed point at one end.
The seat rested upon the top of
square box and hinged lid was locked
down over the box behind. Even to
one unfamiliar with the sights Of the
oil regions there would have been car
ried intuitvely a suggestion Of dread
from the very appearance of the car
riage but to those who knew and ap-
preciated the character Of the torpedo
business there was a feeling of pity
mingled with admiration for the reck-
less shooter who trave4ed the rough
mountainous roads daily with scores
of quarts of nitroglycerin beneath him.
When Jim, In high boots, blue flannel
shirt and a soft hat with the wide rim
turned back, drove rapidly through the
town, people would stop and look care
fully after him and then pass along
about their business again with the
satisfactory reflection that they could
say at least, that they had seen him
''the day it happened"
Annie came down to the gate and
there was a sad expression about her
sweet, wOmanly face, and she was
trying to be brave about it, but it was
hard to keep the tears back, for the
recollection of the talk with Jim the
night before and the realization of the
long journey away into another coun-
try and strange home about to be I'M
dertaken was strong upon her.
Jim was the first to speak, and his
words came with unusual clearness.
1--WE been thinking it all over, An
nie,' he said, looking down at the
tUitching face, "and know you were
riGht. You were all right from first to
last, and I'm all wrong"
Jim looked over at the little porch
which he had come to know so well
and after a short pause continued:
And I'm glad you're going away
away from these talking people, who
seem to have no mercy in their hearts
for fellow who's done wrong, even if
he does try to live it down, and have
tried, Annie, tried so hard. But you
know all about that. It's an old
story"
The tear which had been struggling
came out on Armies eyelash and glis-
tened there. Though it had been an
unusually long sentence for Jim, he
had not finished.
"And then this business"-he made
careless gesture toward the carriage
''you couldn't stand that and l don't
blame you. Every one would be telling
you that l would be killed, and all
that, until you'd get all nervous and
worried, though l don't see what ails
people anyhow. It's not their busl-
ness"
There was a long silence. Plainly
Jim had something else to say. He
hesitated, not knowing exactly how to
say it. Finally he spoke.
"Annie"-he reached down and took
her hand in farewell grasp-'if you
