New York, Aug. 19.-The departure
Of Commander Booth-Tucke1. for Eng
land in November, where he goes to
fill a high office In the International
body Of the Salvation Army, will leave
the post Of commander of the army
in the United States vacant.
1t is generally understood that
Commissioner Eva Booth, the young
est daughter Of General Booth, now
at the head of the Salvation Army
in Canada, will be appointed the sue
cessor Of Commander Booth-Tucker.
The selection of Eva Booth to SUI
preme command in America, succeed
ing her sister, Consul Emma Booth
Tucker, who met a tragic death in a
railroad accident at Dean Lake, Iowa,
last fall, as the representative of the
Booth family in America, will prove
pleasing to the officers and members
of the army here.
Her probable appointment has been
spoken Of ever since the death Of Mrs.
Booth-Tucker, after which It was
known that Commander Booth
Tucker would probably be recalled to
England to fill place close in rank to
that of General Booth in international
| eadquarters. It Is now stated that
Commander Booth-Tucker will prob
ably become chief of staff.
Considered by General Booth the
Booth has been active in the Saliva
ton Army since she was a child. She
made her first acquaintance with
America when she was sent here TO
assume temporary command after the
resignation of Ballington Booth from
the command of the Salvation Army
| Of the United States.
Miss Eva Booth began work IN the
army when she was IL years old sell
| ing the War Cry
After she left the London training
garrison with the rank of lieutenant,
at her own request she was assigned
| to work among the London poor, de-
pending upon her clear, mezzo-so-
prano voice and her skill with must
cal instruments to win the affection
of the people among whom she elected
| to work.
| In the spring of 1884, clad in rags as
! q. child of the poor, and with a shawl
covering her head and a banjo under
! her arm, she started out on her first
campaign work for the army. In sun
shine and rain, day after day, she went
| about the London slums, singing he1
way into the hearts of the people
Some Of the songs that the army likes
best have been composed by her, and
were sung by her before they were
written in music.
The Salvation Army was then max.
| ing a hard campaign for existence
against the prejudice Of the people
where Its work was to be done, an6
| there were frequent disturbances upor
! the streets and in the halls, wher
stones were thrown and clubs used
but the young woman never falterec
in the work, often quelling those dis
! turbances with her songs.
She went to the mining villages III
| Cornwall, and was the first woman tc
| ever descend the shafts into the mines
| in this district. She won many con.
verts, and often visited the mining
villages.

DESPAIR IN AUMIhALI9
VIadivostolx Squadron Destroyed and
ST. Petersburg Now Admits 1t.

st. Petersburg Aug. 19.-Feeling al
most akin to despair reigns In the
much tried Russian admiralty. The
official report of Vice Admiral
Skrydloff, coming on the heels Of the
known losses sustained by. the Port
Arthur squadron in its desperate
sortie Of Aug. 10, and the anxiety over
the fate of the warships still unac-
counted for, not only confirming the
sinking of the Rurik but showing that
the injuries sustained by the Gromo-
boi and Rossia in the fight with Vice
Admiral Kamimura's squadron were
even greater than expected, completes
the crushing nature Of the blow to
Russia,s ill-starred naval forces in the
far east.
SO far as the immediate future is
concerned, the admiralty does not dis
guise the fact that the Vladivostok
squadron is destroyed.
The effect upon the public Is also
most depressing. The only consola-
ton found is in the words of praise
bestowed on the officers and men and
the unequal character of the fight,
Russian naval experts, by the system
of coeffcients, figuring that the in
feriority of the vladivostok squadron
in armor and guns was SO to 200. In
some quarters OF the navy there is
also a disposition to censure Rear Adj

Davidson, accompanied by two chap

railroad station here today by a large
number of friends on his departure to
join the White Star line steamer Gel

It appears that the special permits

New York, Aug. 19.-"Placate me

in New York city, was the ultimatum
presented by Charles f. Murphy yes
terday to the Parker campaign man
ayers. It was not couched in exactly
those words, but that in effect was the
message.
It carried CONSERVATION into demo-
cratic state and national headquarters
and led to several anxious differences
and a hurry call for the presence Of
the Tammany leader in state head
quarters. Murphy sent Senator Dowl-
ing as his representative. Senator
Bowling had a long talk with w. S.
Rode, Parker's personal representa-

It had been hoped Murphy would
quiet down after his visit to Esopus
and accept without further protest the
situation made by Governor McCar-
ren's appointment as state executive
chairman.

[To BE Continued
OLD BAvARIAN TOWNS.

Many Of the Smaller Ones Are Mere
" Walled Farm Villages.
In old Bavarian districts many Of the
smaller towns ere merely walled farm
villages. These settlements Of agricul-
turists reproduce the ancient laager for
all. Each is built in the form Of 4
paralleiogram, the shorter sides hay
ing each a gateway, with double gates,
over which rise central square watch
towers capped with conical red roofs.
A narrow road or street runs from gate
to gate, with old half timber houses
setback close to the inclosing wall.
The ground floor Of these houses af-
fords stabling for cattle, and from
these stables the COWS are driven out
through the town gates in the morn
ing and brought in at night. Town
ships like this are merely clusters OF
houses intimately connected with the
farm lands that lie beyond their gates.
The peasantry, whether peasant pro-
prietors or allotment leaseholders, so
in and out to their work.
In eastern Bavaria, toward the Dan
ube, where the better class farms are
to be seen, one finds farmhouses Of
wood, a great shingled roof covering
as in Holland-not only the large 'liv-
ing apartment, with many bedrooms,
but also the stables for the horses
and cattle. On such farms much Of
the farm work is done by girls, who
usually wear short pett1coats, tight
bodices and kerchiefs on their heads.
Most Of the men are either in the army
or working at trades.

LIVING SILVER.
The Process by Which Mercury Is
Extracted From C;nnabar.

The Process by Which Mercury Is
Extracted From C;nnabar.
The chief scource Of mercury is its
native sulphide, cinnabar. The most
important mines Of this mineral in Eu-
rope are those Of Almaden,, in Spain,
and Idria. in Illyria; in America, those
Of New AlmaGen, in California.
The silvery metal is obtained by
roasting the ores IN specially construct
ed open furnaces. where, by the ac-
ton Of atmospheric air alone, the sui
phur is converted into sulphurous acid
and passes on with the volatilized
mercury into condensers. These are
usually masonry chambers, with wa
ter cooled pipes, from which the fumes
pass on through earthenware pipes
and finally through others of wood
and glass.
Most Of the yield is liquid mercury,
combined with SCOT, which is removed
by agitating the mixture in receptacles
Of perforated iron, when the mercury
falls through. Tie quicksilver is final
ly purified by straining through dense
linen and is then sent out into COM
merce in leather bags OF wrought iron
bottles fitted with screw plugs, each
holding about seventy-fye pounds
avoirdupOis.

SMOKING A CIGAR.

Some Things That Every User Of
Tobacco Does Not Know.
,"It's really remarkable, considering
the 12,OO0,O00,0o0 cigars smoked in the
United States every year, how few
men really know how to smoke" said
a prominent tobacco dealer. There is
one mistake in particular that even ex-
perienced smokers sometimes make
that is in not keeping the tobacco burn
ing properly.
"About 90 per cent, should say, Of
all the cigars sold are better on the
outside than the inside. This isn't
wholly to deceive the prospective buy
er. It requires a good quality Of Leaf
to shape the outside Of cigar, while
the filler may be more readily composed
of inferior tobacco The smoker who
permits his cigar to burn inside the
wrapper loses the best part Of it. Prac-
ically any cigar is rank when smoked
through the center The aroma is lost
and the smoke is bitter and asrid.
putting on a cigar that is not burn
ing properly only increases the difficult
ty. The smoker gets more Of the smoke
Of the inside leaves, and the whole ci-
gar becomes hot from the effects Of the
increased combustion in the center Of
it. The proper thing-the only thing :
to do under the circumstances is to
light the cigar again, taking care that
wrapper and all are included in the
lighting. If this plan were followed a
good many smokers wouldn't change
their brand Of cigars so often.'

One thing the tactful husband does
is to let his wife cry. I don't mean
that he drives her to crying or that he
lets her weep while he stands unsym-

grinning sardonically. I mean that
when an emotional woman 1eeds a

TIE WORD BOGUS.

There are Several Plausible The
ories as to It's Origin.
The word bogus" is said by DR.. Og1-
vie to be derived from Boghese, the
name Of a notorious American swlndler
who about the. year 1885 flooded the
western and southwestern states with
counterfeit bills, sham mortgages and
such like. Others connect the word
with "bogie," scarecrow or goblin,
and so applied to anything fictitious or
chimerical
Lowell in the "Bisiow Papers" says,
''I more than suspect the word to be
q corruption Of the french 5agasse."
This bagasse was the sugar cane as
delivered in its dry. crushed state from
the mill, called also cane trash, and fit
only for burning, being thus synony-
nous with useless rubbish.
Again, according to Brewer, there IS
in French argot, or thieves slang, a
word, bogue, which signifies the rind OF
q green chestnut OR the case OF e
watch, and this also brings US to the
idea of an outward seeming without
any solid and reputable foundation
