Happy New Year to the mother

Loving hands that gently guide
Little feet that else would wander
In forbidden paths untried.
Happy New Year TO the father
Toiling on and trusting fate.
Looking for lifes full fruition
In the joy that comes but late.
When the band TO nobly cherished
Into mans estate have grown,
And he lays aside his armor
While they buckle on their own.

May the New Year bring her gladneSs
Keeping ufe's best gift in view.
With the love she holds the dearest.
And the tender arms and strong,
That will shelter still and keep her.
As she sings loves sweetest song.

There seems to be no cessation IN
different parts OF the country in favor
OF liberal reforms. The situation Il
most acute at Moscow where the uni
versity Is closed. and the student body
and the various societies are In a con-
stant state of ferment.
II has been learned that the social
revolutionary party in Moscow. before
the demands OF December 1S and 1s
issued proclamation condenning tha
death OF Grand Duke Serglus and Po-
lice Master Trepoff and n recurrence
OF the police brutalities witnessed In
st. Petersburg. Subsequently the stu
dents decided TO not only cease attend
ing school but to make demonstration
on the occasion of the burial OF the vic
Tins OF the rloting on December is and

movement, and to take up arms in their
own defense, They also asked the pro-
fessors to back up their demands, and
as a result, the latter secured permis-
sion to make searching inquiry into
all the circumstances.
Kuropatkin. according to an inter-
view with Prince Dolgorousky, has
added his voice In favor Of broader
activity Of the zemstvos. and this may
be frausht with significance later on.

serving life sentence for the murder
OF his partner. kid" Waddell, In Paris
In 1895. Several Of o'Briens old
friends In this city are said to have re-
celved the news direct from Cayenne,
Several years ago II was reported that
oBrien had escaped from the penal
settlement and was on his way to New
York. The report was never confirmed,
however, and the authorities never got
sight OF O'Brlen.
o'Brlen's career was remarkable
one. He was born So years ago In
Chicago and aided by an attractive
personality, managed to make an en-
viable record. In New York, bold
swindles running into the thousands,
were numerous and were credited to
his genius. In 1889 he jumped a bond
of $4,000 and fed to Europe, but was
recaptured and sentenced to the peni-
tentlary.
A remarkable plea, conducted by a
woman, resulted In his escape from a
hotel in Utica, where he was in charge
of a prison keeper o'Brlen caught a
steamer here for Europe and reached
Paris safely and remained there until
he was arrested on the charge of kill

Foreign Correspondents Laugh at the

London, Dec. 26.-The Telegraph's
correspondent in a Chefoo dispatch
of December 26, says:
"A messenger from Port Arthur de-
scribes the Japanese attack on the
evening of December 22 with a light
column of 5000 and many machine guns
on the northern defenses. They sue
ceeded in reaching a water course be-

small hill near Else mountain under a
severe enfilading fire which caused
them heavy losses,
1T Is reported recently the positions
have been captured behind Lao I'll
which cut off the Russian supply bases
from the main force.
"The foreign correspondents from
Port Arthur declare the fortress the
strongest ever attacked and compare it
to Sevastopol. They insist no other
army in the world could have done
what the japanese accomplished, but
deprecate as oversanguine the idea Of
Its immediate caputre."

RESCUED DROWNING PEOPLE

eeived Medals ls Considered to
Be Very Exceptional One.

Chicago Dec. 26.-The presentation
of medals for heroism at St. James
Episcopal church has brought out the
fact that one of the recipients is sew
eral times a life saver. He is Captain
v. Clinnin Inspector of rifle practice
in the First regiment. Illinois national
guard. A year ago he was a
rescuer hero of the Iroquois fire. He
is also known as the hero Of yacht
ing incident off Zion City.
The. Rev. James S. Stone, rector Of
St. James, after awarding medals to
George H. Shapiro and A. Waldo Car
Isle of the United States training ship
Dorothea, turned to Captain Clinnin.
Friends of the captain" he said,
hearing that he had been recommend
ed for this honor, requested his honor
in connection with the Iroquois fire be
made public. Captain Clinnin was in
the Schiller building. when he saw
smoke pouring from the air shaft.

foyer of the Iroquois.
After some had already fallen to
the floor, others were piling up on them
in the efforts to escape. Selling a
woman the captain dragged her to
place of safety Then he went back,
edged along the wall and rescued
chorus girl. He was thrown down
and trampled on but he returned to
help carry another woman out. He
made three more trips into the theater,
brought out a child apparently dead,
found his slster-in-law hysterical and
took her to the Schiller building, and
came back. but was excluded from the
fire lines by the police"
The act of heroism, however, for
which Captain Clinnin received the

May of three men from a capsized
yacht in which he. with eight others
had been sailing.
