the use of the fashion column if it is to be daily
disregarded?
Well the tailors would say that there are men
and a few women who daily break the laws OF
the gospels which they affirm, but yet that Is
hardly ground for abolishing the gospels alto
gether Quite true. Without some better ground
than that to stand on the newspapers VIII hardy
win their case in defence of their present policy
What then. can they say? Faversham and John
Drew cannot be everywhere ut once to do the
work the tailors say the newspapers ought to do
30 the stage cannot be invoked as a better
teache~ 1t would better be confessed at once that
the newspapers are too human, too prone to
err to be intrusted with great task OF moral
responsibility as telling men what they ought 10
wear The clergy are specially trained to look
after mans religious needs, and newspapers do
not interfere. Why in an equally solemn branch
of humanty's needs should the newspapers try
to do what only the most expert. the most
thoughtful the most learned are capable of per-
forming-why should they try to dictate what
man should wear? 1t has always been true in
the past that 70 soul knows what man ought
to wear-nay, even what he wants to wear-eX-
cept his tailor. 1t will always be so in the
future. II tailor does not possess the strength
and courage TO shoulder this great burden he
should never have become a tailor. The desig-
nation of classes, the destiny of mankind, are in
his keeping. He must not try to skulk to shirk.
to throw his responsibilities upon the already
overburIened newspaper press. Like Atlas. he
has chosen his fate and must abide by it; there
is no Hercules to help him now
And would he kill the goose that lays him
golden eggs?

POLICE AFTER
POKER DICE MAN

A warrant may be issued today for
the arrest of a white man who is said
to have been running a gambling game
known as poker-dice in rooms on Hotel
street. His operations have been small
and by clever work he has managed
to evade the police. He never permit
ted the game to run more than an hour
at any one time and each day the hour
periods for playing We're changed so
that it made matters difficult for the
police to raid. Last night the police
kept a close watch on his place but no
gambling was done during the evening.
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth states
that he has some evidence that this
man has been running a gambling place
and on the strength of this may take
out a waEant for his arrest today.

JAPANESE CONQUERING ON
SEA AND LAND AS USUAL

cially as General Kuropatkins move
ments are shrouded in mystery. The
Novoe Vremya says:
''The time for strategy is past. We
are now on the eve of tactics. Not
knowing the exact position of our
forces, we cannot state what Kuropat-
kin intends to do. 1t is possible he may
consider it untimely and Improbable
to enter upon a decisive engagement
of all his forces, in which event, while
engaging the enemy who is pouring
troops down upon him, he may retire
northward to meet his reinforcements."
The tone in both public and official
circles has greatly improved. The re-
port that the Port Arthur squadron has
successfully put to sea and that no ship
has actually been sunk seems to have
removed the dependency and develop
ments on land and sea are looked for
ward to with increased cheerfu1ness.
Confidence is manifested in the fnfIu-
ence the navy will have upon the cam
paign and many people are inclined to
attribute the japanese precipitancy to
attack General Kuropatkin to the fact
that the squadron at large threatens
the japanese army's sea communica-
tions.
Special dispatches say it was Major
General Mistchenko's division which
has been engaged in constant fighting
in the vicinity of the mountain passes
over which the japanese are advance

almost impassa bic, MistchenI1o retiring

to tell him that the form on the bed

examination of the room. Turning
down the coverings Of the bed, they
discovered the self-murderers right

small cahbre. The suicide had shot
himself in the mouth and in a faint
dying struggle had drawn his hand,
still clasping the revolver, beneath the
bed clothes. The coverings were un-
disturbed and death must have been
instantaneous.
