presidential election in the United
States. The editorial articles in gen
eral express satisfaction with Presi-
dent Roosevelt's election.

considerable mark upon his time.

Port Arthur is regarded as taken. The
Russians still hold four forts, but the
town itself is open for the japanese

Japanese Advancing.
Toxic, Nov. 8.-Unoficial news

port of the progress made by the be-

operations are proceedings satisfac-
torily though slowly. Limestone for

cred that the CAPTURE of Rihlung

Russians to abandon the city proper.

Chinatown's Gayety.

chinatown" had on all her Oriental
splendor in celebration of the Chinese
New Year. which falls on Feb. Is.
Every Celestial in Washington, from
the way-up wealthy merchant to the
humblest washer-man was out in his
best clothes, and most expansive smile.

and greeting everybody he met with

the land of the yellow dragon is equiv
alent to Wish you happy new year"
in this. The bias-eyed children. es-
pec1ally made a picturesque show. clad
in all the colors of the rainbow as they
toddled from house to house and from
room to room in the crowded tenements
OF Chinatown, after the customary gift
of money.
1t is the Chinese habit to give coin to
children on New Years Day. done UP

every child who makes a call expects

the financial standing of the host. from
a nickel to a S. gold piece. AS it was
foregone conclusion that all the small
Celestials in the American capital
would call upon the Chinese minister
and expect a gift of large denomina-
ton from that wealthy individual. Min
lister LANG wisely absented himself on
some mythical business elsewhere.
Therefore the customary celebration at
the Chinese legation was deferred un-
til Tuesday eve. when he returned and

At the Chinese I.erntion.

The new home of the Chinese lega-
ton on the northwest heights of the
city, shelters a colony of juveniles, thus
presenting a striking contrast to the
former legation home in the time of
Minister WI. with it's one small but
dignified and scholarly lad. Before the
arrival in this country of little Wu
Chao-Chu, the young people of Wash
ington had no acquaintance with high
caste Chinese children.
Young WI, in his upswerving loyalty
to the traditions of his own country,
and his genuine appreciation of every
advantage and pleasure that the United
States afforded him. was a revelation
to the youthful element of the entire
country. Though now quietly pursuing
his studies in the High School in At
lantic City, his strong and always
pleasing personality is by no means
forgotten, and for his sake as well as
for their own. the little people of the
LANG family, and all who succeed
them, will be objects of the kindliest
interest to the boys and girls of the
United States.
OF Minister Liang's eight children,
seven are living. Their mother, Lady
LANG, died about two years ago. Four
of the children remain in the care of
their kindred in Canton, China. but
the minister's travels and experiences
have caused the young people of his
household to feel strong interest in
everything relating to the Western
world. and last winter one of his
daughters and two of his sons accom-
panied him on the long journey to his
new post of duty. Miss May LANG, 16
years old, at present leads the secluded
life deemed proper for Chinese girl
of rank. She has a companion. under
whose direction she pursues the course
of instruction which. in China. is con-
sidered necessary to one in her posi-
ton.

Nemfon,n RIue.

From the Atlantic Monthly
1t is well known that under the ac-
ton of gravity the water composing
such a thin shell as a soap bubble
tends to run down on all sides, so
that the walls of the bubble grow thin
at the top and thicken toward the
bottom. After a time the bubble be-
comes so thin at the top that further
flow of water from this point can
hardly take place, and finally the bub-
BILE bursts. But before this last stage
is reached a degree of thinness in the
walls of the bubble is attained which
causes 1t to glow with brilliant irri-
descent colors. Newton noticed that
on top Of the thin bubble illuminated
by white sky light a black spot is
formed; with increase of thickness
downward from this point on all sides,
a red band next appears, then a blue
one, then again red and blue. and SO
on, the colors showing more extremes
OF red and purple in the higher or
ders. This blue band, which first ex-
pands outward from the black spot
at the top and descends slowly with
the subsistence of the water, Newton
called the blue Of the first order"
and although somewhat dingy he iudg-
ed II to be of the same tint as the
blue OF the sky.

Home of the Red Cross Leader.
There were upwards of four hundred
of the strong-minded sisterhood; but
twice that number could not uncom-
6oHtably crowd Miss Barton's great
rambling house, which was built with
an eye single to Red Cross interests.
1t has twenty bed rooms, and goodness
knows how many other apartments. 1t
is thoroughly warmed from attic to
cellar with wood fires in stoves,
and on festive occasions the long CEN
trail corridors on the first and second
floors are hung with the flags of all
nations and decked with flowers. Three
large parlors were utilized as refresh
ment rooms, and q substantial lunch
con was served throughout the after
noon in thoughtful consideration of the
comfort of the visitors after their long
cold ride. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait
made the presentations to Miss Bar
ton, mentioning the locality from which
each of the several hundred ladies
came; and Miss Barton repeated the
same to her lieutenant next in line,
Mrs. Fannie B. Ward, who was with
her in the Cuban and Galveston fields.
Not least interesting among the
sights of that quaint house-which,
very properly, is unlike any other in
the world-was a large table COM
pletely covered with the hundreds of
medals and decorations of honor be-
slowed upon Miss Barton by the rulers
OF nearly every nation under the sun.
one lady remarked as she shook
hands with the, famous little woman,
why, Miss Barton! 1 am disappoint-
ed. l expected to see you literally
covered with your foreign decorations. !"
The quiet reply was DO you think l
could stand here shaking hands all
the afternoon if 1 were loaded down
with fifty pounds, more or less, of
metal?'i

Pneumonia in Chicago,

Over 5000 people died. of pneumonia
in Chicago last year. In every case the
disease resulted from a cold. Had the
cold been promptly and properly treat
ed at the outset almost everyone would
have recovered. This statement is
abundantly proven by the fact that
among the tens of thousands through
out this country who use Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy TO cure their
colds, no case of pneumonia has ever
been reported, which shows conclusive
ly that this remedy is a certain pre-
ventive of pneumonia. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy has gained it's wide
reputation and enormous sale by the
prompt and effectual cures of colds and
can always be depended upon. For
sale by all druggists.

business to James and Alexander. In
a day or two appeared the announce
ment of Mrs. Wallace's marriage to
Alexander Dunsmuir. Less than two
months later, on Jan. 81, 1900, Alex
ander Dunsmuir died in New York.
Six months afterwards his widow fol-
lowed him to the grave.
Shortly before this second event
Alexander Dunsmuir's will had been
made public. Executed on the very
day of his marriage, 1t left all his prop
erty to his brother James. The heirs
position was strengthened by a declar-
alton signed by Mrs. Dunsmuir, in
which she assigned, on behalf of her
self, her heirs or assigns, all title to
her husbands property in considera-
ton of an annuity Of $4,000, which
James Dunsmuir was to pay her. These

that her stepfather was not of sound

signment, Mrs. Hopper declared that
undue influence had been brought to
bear upon her by James Dunsmuir's
lawyers, and that this document was
therefore null and void.
At the trial, which has just been de-
cided against her by Mr.. Justice Drake

The large drawing room and ball room
adjoining were Fragment with American
Beauty roses. White azaleaS and

and the walls of the ballroom were

pestries bought in Rome, where the
host was formerly United States am

shortly after midnight at small tables,
each table decorated with roses.
Clara BartOn's Reception.
The most pleasing incident of the
Suffrage Convention now in progress
in Washington, was their reception by
Miss Clara Barton, President for life
of the American National Red Cross.
Monday the ladies' were received by the
President and Mrs. Roosevelt in the
White House; and then proceeded on
their pilgrimage to Glen Echo, the SUI
burban home of Miss Barton and
long the Mecca of all such visiting
bodies of intellectual women. They
went out to the Maryland suburb
by tramway, several special cars hav
ing been provided, and those in or
binary use crowded to overlooking.
In summer time it is a most pictures

Dee and LANG Ar Lu are aged re-

were called to establish this claim.
Scores of instances of Dunsmuir's ser
saw snakes. He feared some one was
trying to poison him. In view of these
facts, the claimant demanded, could
Alexander Dunsmuir make q rational
disposition of his property? Judge
Drake has answered decisively in the
affirmative. In his opinion a number
of actions going to show that Duns-
muir was a leveI-headed business man
were to be considered superior to the
opinions of experts. He also laid en-
phasis on the intention Of Alexander to
leave his property to his brother. This
intention had been freely expressed by
Alexander, and his will verified it. The
will was clearly the result of long
contemplated action. Thus saith the
learned Judge.

The younger lady received literal

two years ago. One is twenty but once,
you know, and that white milestone on
MES journey means far more to a girl
IMAM her formal introduction to society.
Then Miss Alice, who had shortly be-
fore announced herself. with the posi-
tveness of extreme youth, as hating
Washington" and tolerating a short
residence here only on her fathers ac-
count, was very slightly known outside
the family circle. Now she is the most
ieted and sought-after young woman
IN the country, and her thorough en-
!oyment of life is good to see. Her
happiness is positively infectious, and
her friendships appear to be genuine.
Like her father, she is extremely
strenuous in her likes and disltkes,
and in spite of the conventionalities OF
good breeding, it is plainly apparent
Whom she favors in society, and or
Whom she does not approve.
Society Amid the Ruins.
Last Saturday Miss Alice. with a
party of her friends, including the
COUNTESS Cassini and two young gen.
tiemen, went over to Baltimore to view
the ruins left by the great fire. Strict
oruers had been issued to admit no
women through the fire lines, and the
instant the distinguished party crossed
mem the officer on guard at that point
called gruffly to the gallant captain
VINO was acting as their escort, Take
nose women out of here" OF course,
ne did not know who they were. Miss
Alice very sensibly saved the situation
from embarrassment by stepping
quickly back, and the party passed on
Nltnout comment, to enter the burned
area at another point.
