IMPROVEMENT CONTINUES.
London Exchange Eecame Heavy at
 Latter End of Week.

London, September 25.-The recent im- provement in affairs on the stock ex- change continued early in the week, but in the latter days apparently without spe- cial reason, beyond the desire to realize profits The market became heavy and nervous in the last half of the week.
 Probably the real reason was the ab- sence of enough business to sustain the market. Americans especially were ir- regular and unsettled, and dealings were very limited, recent advances being fol- lowed by rather strong reaction in con- sequence of statements that crop re- ports have been overestimated and on the advance in the value of money in New York. On Saturday, however, prices rallied somewhat and the market became generally steadier.

BATTERY OFFICERS
 QUIT THE SERVICE
LIEUT.. FRANK 8. WHITE AND LIEUT.. j. N. SNEAD RESIGN FROM THE BRANDON LIGHT ARTILLERY.

First Lieut.. Frank S. White. IT,. and Second Lieut.. J. N. snead of the Brandon Light artillery have forwarded their res ignations to the adjutant general. For business reasons these officers announced several months ago thar 1t would be nec- essary for them to resign but they later decided to hold uo the matter until this fall. The resignations do not come as a surprise to the members of the battery although they regret to lose the officers both of whom are quite popular
 The reslgnations of these officers means that Junior First Lieut.. J. Quincy smith will be promoted to the first lieutenancy; that Junior Second Lieutenant Fucker will be made junior first lieutenant and that the battery will .Aen elect second and a junior second lieutenant to All the two vacancies that will then exist. First Sergeant D. Winston Lapsley will proba- bly, be elected second lieutenant. Capt. Edward D. Smith will then appoint his successor. It is more than probable that all of the non-commissioned officers will be promoted two points, as 1t Is an un- WTlIIen idM III lhlAAAdA 1C RA SfAASNS @ASA%A the ranks wherever possible.
 The report that Lieutenant White and Lieutenant Snead rendered their resigna- tions because of dissension in the bat tery is said to be absolutely without foundation. The battery is today in bet ter condition than 1t has been in some tme, and great deal of enthusiasm Is being displayed by the officers as welll as the enlisted men.
 The battery is still divided on the ques- tion of being transferred to the infantry service, but 1t is believed that when the matter is again put to a vote that a majority will be in favor of the trans fer This action will be brought on by failure on the part oI the state to prop erly equip the artillery.
 The matter is being left entirely in the hands of the enlisted men for their con sideration. It will come up at the next regular monthly muster and drill.

Latter to orlnnenhern.

St. Petersburg, September 25-The emperor has appointed General Grippen- berg, commanding the troops at Wilma, to command the second Manchurian army. Emperor Nicholas has sent the follow ing autograph letter to General Grippen- berg:
 "The intense energy with which Japan Is conducting the war, and the stubborn ness and high war-like qualities display ed by the Japanese, impel me to consid- erably strengthen the forces at the front in order to attain decisive success in the shortest possible time.
 Since, by this increase the units will reach a figure making their continuance In one army impossible without prejudice to the proper direction, maneuvering and mobility of the troops, I have found 1t necessary to divide the active forces in Manchuria into two armies, leaving one in the hands of General KuropatlSin. I appoint you to command the second Your many years service in war-like ex- ploits, and your wide experience In train ing troops, assure me that you, follow ing the general directions of the com mander-in-chief, will successfully lead to the attainment of the objects of the war; the army entrusted to you.
 God bless you for your great and glorious services to me and to Russia. Ever your affectionate,

"The Walfs Paradise"

Howard Hall In ''The Waif's Paradise" will open a weeks engagement at the Bijou theatre tonight. There will be the usual matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. This attraction comes here we'll recomn ended and is said to be one of the best melodrama productions now before the public. MT Hall is himself fa- vorably known in Birmingham, while his supporting company is claimed to be all that could be desired.
 s'The Waifs Paradise" Is thrilling play, replete with exciting situations and effectively staged. A strong feature of the performance is the rescue of a child from a den of lions These lions were carried by Mr. Hall last year and con- tributed materially to the success of ''The Man Who Dared.' In addition there are other clmaxes equally as strong. The plot of the May is unique in treatment and is sure to please.

SHELTER IS BURNED.
Explosion Was Caused by Molten
 Iron Striking Wet Floor.

Prescott, Arz, September 25.-An ex- plosion of molten slag last night caused the total destruction of the valverde smelter, twenty miles east of Prescott. The smelter employees were engaged in drawing slag from the furnace, and were unable to get plug to stop it. When the molten mass ran onto the wet floor, an explosion followed. The red-hot stuff was scattered all through the building, causing fire to break out in several places. The building and machinery were destroyed. So hot were the flames that a portion of the machinery melted.
 The plant was of 1900 tons capacity, and cost $l75,000.

OXYGEN ADMINISTERED.
Lady curz- 1's Condition Is Said to be
 Very Critical.

London, September 26.-According to the Daily Mall oxygen was administered to Lady Curzon yesterday, and anti streptococus serum was injected hypo- dermically as an antldote to blood poison- ing. These remedies were hurriedly fetch ed from London by a special train to Walmer castle, ordinary traffic being meanwhile held up to allow the special to pass.
 Sir Thomas Barlow In reply to late inquiries, said:
 "Peritonitis has been considerably lo- calized, and the patients condition is as comfortable as could be expected"
 King Edward, who Is a frequent in- quirer and receives constant information, made another sympathetic inquiry re- garding the condition of Lady Curzon late tonight.

PRoTEcTiNG BANKS.
System by Which Pinkertons Have
 Reduced Number of Robberies.

From the New York Evening Post.
 Not the least interesting of the litera- ture of the American Bankers associa- ton, which recently held it's convention in this city, is the report of the pro- tectiye committee of Pinkerton's National Detective agency. It reads like Sherlock Holmes'' adapted to the prose of real life. The bankers realize that bank and its money are soon parted if crooks are allowed to have their way. So they have engaged Pinkerton men all over the United States to bounce on the bank sneaks both before and after their att tempts-chiefiy before, however, for, the bankers also realize that an ounce of prevention Is worth a pound of cure. And the crooks respect Pinkerton and the banks that Pinkerton takes under his wing.
 Statistics of the report show that out of the forty-nine burglaries committed on American banks between September 15 1903, and September l. 1904, only seven were committed on the banks of the as- sociation. During the same period sev- enteen unsuccessful attempts at burglary were made on banks which were members of the association, whereas the non-mem- Der banks were victims of forty-five att tempts.
 The report gives the impression that there exists in the United States 1arge class of persons who engage in the occu- patton of swindling in as matter-of-fact a spirit as a grocer sells bad butter or a lawyer defends a bad case.
 The system by which the Pinkertons keep track of the crooks is wonderfully complete. They possess a full rogues' gallery of their own: keep record of the handwriting of professional forgers. and have a personal acquaintance with their victims which helps them pene- trate the confusion of disguises and aliases. Nevertheless, the professional forger has not been suppressed. "The professional forger," says the report, shas during the past year been unusually active, but through our efforts for your association we have caused the arrest of thirty-five forgers whose operations were reported to us, convicted twenty, who were sentenced to fifty-three years and seven months, in addition to which six were sentenced to indeterminate terms in prison, one escaped, one sentence sus- pended, while ten are awaiting trial, and five were released"

Understanding With China.

Mukden. September 25-The halt in ac- tive operations around Mukden is be- lieved to be due not only to the fatigue of the Japanese troops and the slowness in getting up necessary additional SUD- plies. but to distinct understanding be- tween the Chinese and Japanese that there shall be no bloodshed near the holy city, where the Chinese eniperors are buried. It is expected, however, there will be fighting north or northeast of Mukden, possibly on a larger scale even then at Liao Yang.
 The weather has become settled and the best season of the year Is now commence ing with prospects of a warm, dry autumn

Diet for consumptives.
From Everybody's Magazine.

You have to eat at a sanitorium for consumptives, hungry or not. There are no big gorges to overwork the stomach, but there are six meals day of moderate size Some patients can eat full meals and then swallow thirty-six raw eggs day. The aim of the treatment in these sanitoriums is to get the sick man to drink three quarts of milk and eat a dozen raw eggs day in addition to his regular meals of simple food.
 And you must eat meat and plenty of 1t. Don't cut the fat off. The COW got most of the good out of .-.e lean in her life time. The fat is what will do you good. All that there is to cod liver oil that makes it worth while is that 1t is

GEAR NICHOLAS WILL AT ONCE
 PUT 6OO,OOO MEN IN THE FIELD
tcontlnue-. from First Page)

(Contlnue- from First Page) ~~~--~~~~-~-~-~~7-7-~- der to be able to assume the offensive quickly, marks a distinctly new phase of the war.
 The physical difficulties to be reckon ed with in promptly getting out such large endorsements over single line of railroad more than 5000 miles long, are fully realized, but the Circum- -Baikal rail- road completed, the authorities expect to practically double the present capacity for transportation of men, munitions and provisions, and send out two corps instead of one monthly.
 Within three months, three corps are expected to reach Harbin, swelling the total number of Russian soldiers in Man ehuria to considerably over half a mil- lion. In the meantime, the armies at the front continually augmented by fresh troops, will act as a buffer to hold in check the Japanese until the army will be able to assume the aggressive through sheer weight of numbers.
 Many Guns Sent to the Front.
 In the reorganization, special plans have been made to overcome the deficiency in guns under which the Russians have been laboring. Over six hundred additional field and rapid fire guns are to be sent to the front
 The great struggle for the mastery in the far east now seems destined to as- sume Titanic proportions.
 The reiteration of the now familiar of ficial statement that the military situ- ation at the front is unchanged, Is be- lieyed to indicate merely that, in view of the shifting of forces, the probability of fresh important developments there is not immediate. General Kuropatkin deems 1t wise to make public unofficial advices which indicate that Marquis Oyama Is slowly continuing his advance.
 Superstitious Reverence.
 His tendency see.--- } Le to the north east. This may b prompted by recogni- ton of China's superstitious reverence for Mukden, the Japanese being anxious to remain on the best terms with the Chinese. It is also likely that the pres ence of the Hun river in front of Mukden has convinced the Japanese of the inn ossibilty from strategic point of view of making a frontal attack while if they succeed in gaining a footing at Flu Pass or some other point on the north side of the river, and north of Mukden, they wll render Kuropatkins position in the city without fighting and retire northwart and give battle elsewhere, should he de. eide to contest the Japanese advance.
 The emperor is going to Odessa or September 27.
