ENGLISH GIRLS SMOKING IN PUB
Lie.
1t is a regretable but certainly I'M
deniabie fact that smoking among
women, and especially among young
girls. is becoming increasingly COM
mon. Though it has been recognized
as practice in private life for some
time past, to smoke openly in ressau,
rants and other public places has not
been looked upon as quite CONNIE II
faut, but during the last season or
two it has grown more general at res
taurants. This year a further stage
has been reached. and at Goodnow
many quite young girls were to be
, seen smoking in the luncheon paw
lion. AT large east coast hotel the
same sight is to be seen in the lounge
after dinner, and one trusts it may
not be considered old-fashioned to ex
press the opinion that it does not
add to the attractiveness of the Eng

DEATH OF ARTHUR oRR1soN.
Victim of Hemorrhage Resulting From
Breaking of Blood Vessel.

Within a day of the second calling of the
case of James NJ. A. Watson, accused of
embezzing about 1000 from funds in the
hands of the auditor of the District of CO.
lumbia, for trial, was announced the death
Of Arthur l.. Orrison. The later was i'm
paneled as juror when the cause was
placed on trial in Criminal Court No last
sIiring. The proceedings We're interrupted
in a sensational manner In the very early
stages by Orrison, who arose from his seat
in the jury box and inquired of Justice
Pritchard, in effect, If the case was to be
tried according to the evidence or by public
opinion.
The offending juror was adjudged to be
guilty of contempt of court and was sem
fenced to Imprisonment in Jail for two
months. 1t was the opinion of many that at
the time of making the inquiry referred to he
was under the influence of intoxicatin
liquor, but in his behalf it was urged that
his condition was due to drug he had
taken for Illness.
Because of Orrison's action the jury in the
Watson case was discharged, with the re-
suit that the trial was delayed until today
Mr.. Orrison, who was a drug clerk, died
suddenly at his home, 10 9TH street north
east, Saturday afternoon about O'clock
The bursting of a blood vessel in his leg
caused him to bleed to death. DIR. Keech
was summoned, but the mans life could not
then be saved.
Orrison was thirty-one years old and was
a native of Virginia. He had been en-
ployed in several drug stores in East WASH
ington. The body of the young man will be
inferred at Leesburg, Va.

Terrible Wreck.

Last Saturday two heavily loaded
passenger trains on the Southern
Railroad, near Hodges, Tenn, run
ming at full speed, crashed together
with awful effect. Fifty-five were
killed and one hundred twenty hurt,
many of them seriously.
The trains were scheduled to pass
at the usual place and were running
on time. Why the engineer who
reached the station first did not
side track, no one knows. And no
one will ever know as both engineers
were killed.
There have been ten railroad ac-
cidents in this country in the last
ten months in which gas people
have been killed and many more
injured. Instead of growing less
numerous with improved methods

Silence
The War;.

The Japanese are executing one
of their favorite hanking movements
about Mukden and are keeping the
Russians guessing. There is con-
tinuous skirmishing between the
outposts but no general enga cement.
Both armies have been greatly
strengthened by reinforcements but
the Japs are supposed to have re-
ceived the greatest number and to
very materially outnumber the Rus
sian forces. The Japs by their
flanking movements seem to be try
ing to throw strong force IN
Kuropatkins rear and cut off his re-
treat to Harbin. If they can sue
ceed in cutting off his retreat they
will surely annihilate the Russian
army unless in their zeal they get
spread out too much and allow
Kuropatkln to hurl his whole
strength against portion of the
divided army. The Russians are
not nearly SO well fortified about
Mukden as they were at Lao Yang
and the Japs can fight on more
equal footing. 1t is very apparent
that the Russians have been out
numbered and out generated
throughout the campaign.
Kuropatkin has shown great skill
only In retreat but probably that
was all he could do under the cir
cumstances.
The Japs have shown wonderful
mobility and have been handled
with great skill by their generals,
1t has seemed that they were a little
over cautious at times about crowd
ing the Russians, but probably the
precaution was necessary.
Port Arthur is still holding out
with a few of the main fortresses
but the Japs have wrested from
them in the last few days several o.
their main forts and a number OF
smaller ones. 1t is now reported
that the Japs have charge of th(
water system, If such be the cas-,
it would seem they should force {
surrender.
The bombardment of the forts il
something simply appalling, anc
how a single Russian escapes is be-
yond conjecture.
The Japs are meeting with fearfu
losses but only seem the more deter
mined by the virtue OF the grea
slaughter. The temper of the
troops on both sides has become
very bad by the long continued
fighting and neither side seems to
expect or give any quarter.
Port Arthur will BE one of the
bloodyseiges of history. The Jap:
