KING YIELDS
TO THE WISH
OF ARCHBISHOP
Queen ViCt0ria'S FdYOrite Place
Of Worship VIII Now
Be Restored.

LONDON, April 9.-The apartment
known as the private chapel' at Buck
ingham Palace is undergoing process
of refurnishing and restoration which
will adapt it again to purposes of wor-
ship. And thereby hangs an interesting
story which has not been told in print.
King Edward is scrupulously observ-
ant of all the outward forms of piety,
but, of course, takes little interest in
religious matters as compared with
purely worldly affairs-horse racing, for
instance. AS every one knows, Queen
Victoria was all the other way. Dur
ing her reign the so-called private
chapel in Buckingham Palace received
careful attention and everything neces-
sary was done to maintain it in a be-
fitting state for religious exercises. On
Sundays, when the Chapel Royal was
not open, her late Majesty allowed the
members of the household to use the
private one. But since King Edwards
accession the place has been allowed to
relapse into what it was originally-a
music room.
In consequence representations were
quietly made to the Archbishop of Can
terbury, that servants of the royal
household were often without place of
worship on Sundays. Wnen next his
Grace paid visit to Buckingham Pal
ace he ayailed himself of convenient
opportunity to enter the chapel and
ascertain for himself in what condition
it was kept. He concluded that it had
been sadly neglected and politely gave
the King the benefit OF his opinion con-
cernfng it. That led to prompt action
and the Office of Works has been for
some time engaged in restoring the
chapel. A new sanctuary is being add
ed and new stalls are in process of
erection. When the work is completed
the chapel will be in better condition
than it ever was in the days when
51een Victoria made 1t the object of
her pious care. And thus the Arch
bishop has asserted his supremacy in
matters spiritual even in the Palace of

"PROFE SSORS"
THRIVE WHO
TEACH CARDS
Five Dollars an Hour Prevail
ing Price for Instr uGtiOn
In Bridge.

LONDON, April 9.-There are two
good thing out of the more than ever
prevalent craze for gambling at bridge
the first of these being those who
play the game expertly, and the sec
ond those who teach it, Quite a num-
ber of professors of bridge have
started business in the fashionable part
of town, and as they charge high fees
usually s. an hour-and have now, at
least, no lack of pupils, must be coin
ing money. One of these self appointed
instructors declared the other day that
the fashionable game could not be
taught cheaply by one dependent upon
his earnings. Bridge is a life study"
he explained, "and it would not be
worth while for any one who possessed
a real insight into the game to charge
less than S. an hour. 1t would pay
him better to stroll down to the club
every night and take a hand at the
usual stakes
Probably, it will be some time before
the price of such instruction comes
down, for the game is now INDUCED in
high stakes that not to be able to play
reasonably well means that one will
be plucked time and again.
The bridge professors generally
teach about four hours day, nearly
always coaching three pupils at a time.
Most learners are reasonable enough,
but Sometimes woman who has been
hidden to a bridge party rushes off to
a teacher at the last moment and ex-
poets to be initiated into the inmost
mysteries of the game in an hour or
two-even though she may never have
played it before. OF course, such folk
generally come to grief, but 1 am told
that a certain society woman left the
rooms of teacher after only one les
son, drove TO a bridge party and won
something over s400.

Colonel Lynch's Remarkable Book.

LONDON, April 9.-Colonel Arthur
Lynch. who was condemned to death
by a British court as a traitor for
fighting on the side of the Beers,
whose sentence was commuted to life
imprisonment and who was liberated
year later, has just given proof of
having a remarkable memory.
While in prison he composed a.
great number of sonnets and a histor-
ical novel. But. as he was deprived of
all writing materials, he was obliged
to store his compositions in his mem
ory. He has just transferred it, poetry
and fiction, word for word, to paper.

From her dress it might be imagined

Another subject which has since oc-

Dieulafoy found that many of the most

BROKEN BONES.

A fracture is best defined as broken
 bone. This break may be either conn pletely across the bone or the latter
 may be only partially broken. There
 are various kinds and degrees of frac-
 ture. Simple fracture is one in which
 the bone is merely broken, whereas in the compound variety there is also in- | jury to the soft parts with break In l their continuity so that passage is
 made from the outer air to the seat of fracture. A fracture is sometimes complicated by injury to some impor-
 tant organ, good example of this va
 riety being where the lung is penetra- ted by the broken end of a rib. A cons
 mon form Of fracture is what. is known
 as 'greenstick break and this occurs in children. In this case the bone is
 not completely broken across, but bent and broken like a twig which has been sharply twisted on itself. Whatever the nature of the fracture there is al- ways more or less swelling of the parts, due partly to blood being poured out
 and partly also to Injury to the soft |parts involved in the fracture. In. some cases this swelling may be so
 great as to seriously interfere with di- agnosis and treatment. The manage
 ment of all fractures is practically the same. The clothes must he removed
 with the greatest possible care. and, if
 necessary, cut off the injured limb.
 The parts must then be brought into correct position and splints applied to
 keep them in accurate opposition. Tn
 the case of compound fractures special attention has to be paid to the thor |ough cleansing9e Of the parts, as, should any dirt get doWrlsto the seat of frac-

MAKING EASE OF NEW oHWANG.
Japan wilI confscate Financial Inter-
 ests of Russo-chinese Bank.

s3. . fg
 New Chwang, Aug. S.-A large depot Iof army supplies has been established by the Japanese at the old Russian railroad station. Two thousand troops are kept on guard there.
 The Japanese transports and hospital ships are expected here hourly. It is not yet developed what will be, in view of the war, the status of the local branch of the Russo-Chinese bank. The bank was organized and financed by the Russian government to further Russian interests in Manchuria, and the Far East. It is under the control of the Russian government and has strong foothold in China and Manchuria.
 The bank has at present over 5O,000,0O0 roubles loaned out in New Chwang. It is considered here that Japan will re- gard the bank as the property of the Russian government and it's assets and spells of war in lieu of indemnity. The first evidence of this possibility is shown by the fact that the Japanese flag Is now flying over the bank prop |erty.
 Up to the present time the Japanese authorities have refused to recognize the French consular agent here, to whom Russia has transferred her inter- ests, including the bank property, be- cause his appointment was made subse- .quent to the opening of hostilities. Ru- n1ors are current in Chinese quarters that General Oku captured Haicheng yesterday afternoon. This cannot, how ever, be verified.

The enemy at Yushlintzu con sistedsof two divisions with correspond- ing artillery. The attacking operations were carried out as prearranged, and by sunset we defeated both wings of the enemy; but, owing to their large force and strong positions, we were un- able to dislodge them entirely.
