The TENANTS, UNION.

There is a new departure soon to be
taken in the world of unions. Labor
ers have organized. capitalists have
also joined together for protection but
now Chicago tenants are to form q
union to protect themselves from prop
erty owners and endeavor among other
things to regulate and perhaps reduce
rents The means of reducing rents,
according to a prospectus which be-
came public today, is to boycott ''un-
fair" landlords. By cooperating with
labor unions 1t is planned TO prevent
deliveries of coal and provisions 10
apartments of renters who persist in
living In premises where alleged exor-
bitant rental is charged. They intend
to expose rent-raising conspiracies; to
furnish legal advice to members and
defend them in litigation for their
rights; to promote agitation for civic
improvement such as abolishing sign
boards and other eyesores for which
landlords receive rent; to enforce ordi-
nsnces tending to preserve the city in
. sanitary condition; to work for
street improvements and better light
ing where such improvements are de-
tested by niggardly property owners
too free landlords to live up to their
leases and supply heat and make
promised improvements; to cooperate
with labor unions and all other lawful
organizations working in the interests
of the landless class. One of the pro-
moters says OF the scheme: ''There is
no reason why the landless class should
not be organized and every reason why
they should be. Collectively they
would operate as a great power, not
only sociologically but politically, per
hzps- Now they are prey to any
man who owns land They have nc

STORY
of Russian WO-
man
Reads Like a RO-
| nance.
| SHE FOUGHT
lBravely in Her Hus-
bands Regiment
But Was Finally Struck by a
Jap Shell and
| Killed.
SHE FOUGHT

The Novikrai of November IL con-
tains a romantic story of Haritena
Korotkiewitch, who. although a wo-
man, served valorously in many fights
at Port Arthur until death closed her
strange career.
The husband Of Haritena Korotkie-
witch was serving at Port Arthur. In
endeavoring to join him she was
stopped at Hardin and was not allow
ed to proceed further owing to her
sex. She then donned masculine at
tire and succeeded In reaching Port
Arthur shortly before the landing Of
the Japanese on the peninsula of Lao
tung.
Finding her husbands regiment she
enlisted in 1t. She participated in
numerous sorties and in the defense
OF the forts and, although her sex was
soon discovered, her record for brav-
cry and attention to the wounded, and
the excellent moral influence she ex-
erted over the soldiers, won her per-
mission to remain in the ranks.
While fighting side by side with her
husband the latter was wounded. His
wife nursed him until the crisis in his
case was passed, when she returned
to the front. where she became mes
senger to Capt. Gouzakofiky, Of the
Thirteenth regiment. In the perform
ance of her duties as messenger she
was often seen riding fearlessly from
one position to another, seemingly un-
affected by the bursting of shells OF
the din of battle.
On October 16 she visited the
trenches with dispatches, when huge
shells from the Japanese guns struci
and destroyed the Russian position
Haritena Korotkiewitch and eight
others were instantly killed.

Obituary Notice.

One more of the strong men of the
Staple Coal Company has passed away.
Capt. Herbert Augustus Dear, after
brave struggle characteristic of the
man, passed to his reward on Sunday
afternoon at half after four, at his
home in Berkeley.
Captain Dean was born in Berkeley,
June 90. 1S41, the son of Deacon
Thomas G. Dean and Sally Fox Dean.
Here, in the quiet town where he was

ated in 1854.

by marked attention to duty rose to
become a master mariner and for II
years followed the ses in this capacity,
achieving marked success. Fifteen
years ago he became associated with
the Staples Coal Company and in rhi;
capacity became one of its foremost
men in advancing its tremendous bus
iness interests Push, persistence ant
pluck showed themselves in everything
that he did and Taunton mauufactur
ers will well remember his work in se
curing coal for this section during thu
big strike when a less indomitabl'
man would have failed.
Captain Dean was three times mar
ried. His first wife was Lydia Burt
to whom he was united June 90, 1860
Mrs. Dean passed away on May 81
1865, and on December IS. 1856, b

Some weeks ago, from figures COM
piled on the Swiss side Of the Alps, it
was predicted that the present year
would exceed even the blacklist" of
preceding seasons for the number of
climbing fatalities. Facts now gath
cred on the French side amply bear out
this estimate. In 1898 there were 81
fatal ascents. AZ in 1898, 4S in 1900, So
in 1901, 119 in 1902, and 14S in 1903.
For the present year the total is 152
for the Italo-Swiss side and $50 for
the Austrian and French Alps.
