NICE WEDDING NOTICE.

Married Miss Sylvia Rhodes and
James Canhan last Saturday evening
in the Baptist parsonage. The bride
is very ordinary town girl who
doesn' know any more than rabbit
about cooking and who never helped
her mother three days IN her life.
She is not a beauty by any means,
and has a gait like a fat duck. The
groom IS well known here as an up
to-date loafer He has been living off
the old folks all his life and don t
amount to shucks. They will have a
hard life while they live together, and
the News has no congratulations to
offer, for we don't believe any good
can come from such a union.-Opo-
Iona (Miss.) News.

HIGH SCHOOL
Colin Schaefer Elected Captain of
the Baseball Team.

At the meeting Of the Richmond
High School Athletic association yes
terday Colin Schaefer was elected
temporary captain of the baseball
team with authority until April 10.
The custom of electing the captain
who shall have authority throughout
the season has always been followed
and the results have sometimes been
unsatisfactory.
Mr. Schaefer will make a good
captain and the candidates made a
wise choice. There has been great
deal of contention in the past few
days concerning the baseball and
track teams. Many are in favor of
doing away with baseball team this
year in order to expend the full
strength of the schools athletes OF
the track team, which has already
shown itself TO be worthy of the
school, while it IS feared that, on
account of the lack of a good pitcher

JAPAN AND RUSSIA.
Striking Contrasts Between Progress
of the Two Countries.


COMPARISONS or contrasts between
Japan and Russia are striking in more
than one respect, says the New York;
Tribune. Thus Japan has about Az
100000 people and Russia perhaps $780,
000,OOn Again, Japan's land area is
scarcely 10000 square miles, while
Russia's is nearly 100000. So Russia
has nearly three times as many people
and more than fifty times as much
land as Japan, wherefore, we might
think, Russia could well afford to be
little less land hungry at Japan's ex-
pense
On the other hand, Japan, with her
SO much smaller population, has more
pupils in her schools than Russia. Ac
cording to the latest available stats
tics, Japan has 4,302, 6a3 children in
elementary schools and Russia only
4, 100. 59Ethat is TO say, ninety-one in
every thousand Russians are in ele-
mentary schools. The disproportion of
numbers in secondary schools and uni
versities is equally marked in favor OF
Japan.
Again, Japan has 1882 postoffices, or
one to every 300 people. while Russia
has only 6.029, or one to every p, 500
people. Japan has under sail and steam
commercial marine of 734, 413 tons,
while Russia has only 633, S22 tons. ia
pans purchases from the United States
amount to about $21 100000 year and
Russia s to only ST.. 100000.
OF course it is argued that Russia is
still in an elementary stage of develop
ment. But Russia has been in full and
direct intercourse with the civilized
world since the time of Peter the
Great 200 years ago, while Japan has
| been in a similar state scarcely fifty
/ years-that is to say, Japan has made
/ three times the progress Russia has
and in one-fourth the time. In such
circumstances it is not at all strange.
/ that the admiration and sympathy of
| the world are given to Japan in a
! great measure.

HOLDS HIS Leg
Sweetheart Secured Mans Artificial
Limb and Won't Return 1t.

Charles L. Fulbert, who has only
one lee. has asked the state police to
help him find his artificial limb,
which has been missing three months.
Fulbert, who travels with the aid of
crutch and a cane, says:
"When / worked in Salem, Mass,
three months ago, / used to call on
Miss Anna Sullivan, 20 years old, in
Lynn. One evening while sitting
alone with Miss Sullivan in the par
lor of her home my artificial leg sud
denly gave way and went down with
a crash. / did not know what to do
with my leg, but Miss Sullivan, who
had helped me to gather up the brok-
en- pieces, said: You can put your
leg in my trunk until you can send
for new pieces and repair 1t.
81 finally lost my position in Sa-
lem because / couldn't get around
the hotel fast enough to suit the land
lord. / went to New York and spent
two months looking for work without
success, and this week / started for
Lynn because l couldn't get along
without my leg any longer. / re-
ceived cool reception at the Sulli-
van home, and Anna s sister said she
didn't know anything about my leg.
She said that Anna had packed her
trunk two months ago and had gone
to Hartford
"My search for Anna and her
trunk in Hartford was fruitless and ]
am utterly discouraged. My artii-
cial leg cost $3.50 and it could be re-
paired for 81. When / find Miss Sui
Ivan l shall appeal to her in the
name of humanity to return my leg
to me- -

CHARITIES
Monthly Meeting Held Monday
Largest Allowance in its History.

The monthly meeting of this or
ganization was held Monday after
moo. This being the work of the
people of our city, we are anxious
for you to know the true condition.
February has been the hardest month
on our treasury In the history of the
work. The various bills allowed for
groceries, wood, coal, shoes and cloth
ING, including salary of missionary
and rent. amounted to $2O6.S4. The
treasurer received during the month
S195. This came from % parties,
two Of these contributed. $3.50, leay-
ing $40 for twenty. We are very
thankful for these donations. 1t
shows that these people have an in
terest in the work, and are willing
to help. We have now received to-
wards the years work in response to
our appeal by circular and postal
cards, $1,O3762. This amount has
been received from 1S7 persons or
families, out of the 65S circulars that
have been sent out. Any one can es-
innate how long this amount of mon
ey will reach with four months of
the kind of winter we had to provide
for. Hence you can readily see that
the treasury is low. Will not many
of those to whom circulars and post
ais have been sent, as well as others,
respond speedily any amount you can
give will be gratefully received.
