Lost Gold Brick :

Losing gold brick is such rare oc'
currence in the realm OF "high finance"
compared to selling one, that when I.
Dewitt Cuyler, of Philadelphia, offered
reward of $25 yesterday for the return
of lost gold brick bankers and brokers
10 the financial district sat up and took
notice Immediately.
Several prominent fnaDciers who were
interviewed said that while they could
easily understand how it might be posi-
bic to capitalize aud sell gold brick. it
was incomprehensible to them that any
one should be able to lose one, or, in fact,
dispose of gold brick in any way with =
out getting value received.
1t was suggested that the advertise
ment inserted by Mr.. Cuyler. who was
one of the attorneys for the Biddle Re-
organization Committee, which per-
. laded the asphalt victims to surrender
tlier rights, implied a reflection upon
s,me persons aud laid them open 10 a
charge of frittering away their opportuni-
ties.
MI Cuyler wouldn't talk about the
GOLD brick, excepting to declare that il
was real gold brick. His associate,
John Evans, said that the brick was
worth $500, and that it had been lost in
Jersey City by client of Mr.. Cuyler.
The other details he would not diyulge.
There is little hope that the brick will
be returned. II was admitted that had
the brick been ofcommon CT made-to-sell
variety there would be some chance of
its appearing sooner or later disguised as
stock company, accompanied by an
ocean or two of water. But being a
real gold brick, its fate would seem TO be
sealed.
There was 3 disposition among the
fnanciers to condemn severely the man
who lost the brick without letting the
common people in on the ground floor.

Ing puzzIing the minds of the twenty
thousand enthusiasts which will gather

Opinion is evenly divided and the money

A record breaking crowd is here this
afternoon to witnes the game. Every

grounds is in fairly good condition.
Thirty-fye minutes halves will be played.
1t is said that Bloomer and Owsley will
play the first halt only.
The betting favors Yale at odds of 10
TO 9. Although the game was scheduled
TO start at 2 p. m. neither team bad
arrived on the field at 2:30 p. M, and
the crowd which now numbered fully
rs, 900 began to grow impatient. All the

Army 10 Guard President.

Washington, d. O., Nov. 12.-Late
yesterday afternoon Secreii ny Taft gave
out formal statement to the effect that
eight companies of the Sixteenth Infan-
try would he sent from Fort Mcpherson
to st. Louis to guard the fair during its
closing days. In very labored intro
duction be says that the reason for such
au extraordinary move is that the gene
rel experience With great expcsitions Is
that 10 their closing days the visitors are
given TO piIlage. The real reason, how
ever, is that the President has consent
ed to visit s. Louis aud desires an armed
body guard of more than the usual pro-
portions.

Death of a Designer.

London, Nov. l2.-Gcorge Lennox
Watson, designer of Sir Thomas Lipton's
Shamrock IL. and other racing yachts, is
dead. George Lennox Watson was one
of the most famous yacht designers the
century has seen. -Four times he de-
signed yachts for the contest for the
Americas cup, and had his health per-
mitted, he would have been the designer
of a fifth contestant. Sir Thomas lip
ton had practically decided early 10 the
summer TO challenge for the fourth time
for the famous trophy, and asked Wat
son to draw up the plans for the yacht.
The famous designer, however, was nn-
able to do so owing to his illness, and Lip
ton gave up the idea, feeling that Wat
son was the one man who could design a
fitting opponent 10 the American boats.
The designer was born at Glasgow, Octo-
Der 30, 1851. In 1898 he designed
the world famous cutter Britannia, for
the then Prince of Wales, probably the
most successful racing yacht ever built.
His last work was the designing of the
Shamrock III.

WAR SITUATION.

While the Russians are wasting great
quantities of ammunition in nightly
Commandments of japanese positions,
the japanese are reserying their fire
and strengthening their position with
triple lines of trenches, wire entangle.
ments and mines. Both armies are al
most constantly maneuvering their out.
posts for better positions.
Field Marshal Oyama, though appar-
emily thoroughly prepared for making
another attack, is evidently awaiting
the fall Of Port Arthur, which is daily
expected. Rumors circulated in London
and Paris yesterday that General Stoes-
sci and his heroic garrison had capitu-
lated are not confirmed.
Queen Alexandra Of England is re-
ported to have been in communication
with the Dowager Empress of Russia
aud the Car himself with a view to a
peaceful termination Of the war. Baron
Hayashi, the japanese minister in
London, says that after the fall Of
Port Arthur he believes Japan would
be ready to treat for peace on no higher
essential basis than that Russia and
Japan should both evacuate Manchuria.
According to corrected casualty list
OF the 10 days battle of the Shake
river, the total killed and wounded we're
9S, $50, of whom 900 were officers.
There was a feeling in Wall street
yesterday that the Russo'Japanese war
was near peaceful settlement.
A dispatch from Washington conhr-
ling the statement that japan had indi-
Gated her willingness to entertain peace
suggestions from President Roosevelt or
King Edward created much interest in
London. Baron Hayashi, the japanese
minister, said yesterday: "Afterthe fall Of
Port Arthur Japan would, believe, be
ready to treat for peace on no higher es'
sential basis than that Russia should
evacuate Manchuria, Japan also agree
ing to similar evacuation. The two
great difficulties in the way OF any sug-
gestion of peace are, first, the apparent
opposition of Emperor Nicholas's present
advisers to a settlement OF any kind !
second, the preservation of Russian
prestige. When a nations prestige, il
not gone, is severely impaired, it is
difficult matter, even with the best OF
intentions, TO preserve it."

Explosion In Paris

A FIRE in which two men ale known Ia
have lost their lives, and which was at
tended by most dramatic incidents,
occurred yesterday afternoon in the Ripo-
lin Enamel Paints Factory, at Issy, near
Paris. About 4 O'Clock a terrific ex-
plosion wrecked the building, in which
25 men and an equal number of woman
we're employed. Flames broke out in
stantly, and in few minutes the factory
was like furnace. Barred windows
rendered escape from the building
difficult Many woman rushed out with
their clothes burning and jumped into
the river Seine in order to extinguish the
flames. About 10 men and the same
number OF woman we're severely burned,
several of them critically, and, besides
those known to have died as the result of
burns. it ia feared that some persons
persisted in the building.

As Chief Naval Constructor Caps
expects criticism for the great cost of the
construction OF the Connecticut at the
Brooklyn navy yard as compared with
the cost of the ships built at Newport
News, Va, he hastens to gives his
reasons therefor, saying the Virgins
yard works nine hours and the men arc
not paid as much as the government pays.
An investigation, it is believed, would
not show the above to be the true reason
for the great difference in the cost Of
ships built by the government and those
built by private yards. While the men
at Newport News may work nine hours
they are we'll and regularly paid and
from all accounts are thoroughly satisfied
with the conditions that prevail there.
It is suggested that an effort is being
made to injure the Virginia yard.

THE REMARKABLE change that has
come over the spirit OF Mr.. Roosevelt s
dreams in the past few years is thus set
forth by the Philadelphia Record, which
says:
The attractive Roosevelt was the gay
free trader, stont civil service reformer
md high strung rough rider whom the
scheming leaders of the republican party,
Tor fear Of his taking qualities, sought
to cage and smother in the vice presi-
Gency. As political hotspur he has
not yet lost his hold upon the popular
fancy. But he is-no longer the man he
was. His sudden opportunities and peri
Ious ambitions have developed another
and very different Roosevelt, who has
no convictions that stand in The way of
his political advancement. He has be-
come the dangerous head of danger
Gus party, whose headlong and head
strong impulses unless checked by the
curb of conservatism in Congress may
bring upon the country serious mis-
fortune.

The SUICIDE of young woman in
Richmond who supposed she could no
longer endure the conflict with poverty
is another sad instance Of chill penury
freezing the genial current of the soul,
but in no sense an example to be fol-
followed by those compelled to struggle
for existence. A large majority of the
world are born TO brave its storms, and
it is only those who rise superior to their
difficulties who honestly fulfill their
mission. There are many ills in life,
and some are inclined to believe that,
after all, poverty is among the least, pro-
yided there is health and an absence OF
absorbing care. The young, however,
refuse to philosOphize on the subject,
and envy others born under more auspi-
cious worldly conditions. There are
troubles in all stations of life, and the
thorns in the pillows OF the rich are often
as Annoying as those in the cottage. But
it is hard to bring the human mind into
the docile state to be content with food
and raiment, homely and frugal as it
may be. There Is much in the Good
Book to encourage such as are destined
10 battle with adverse fortune, while we
are assured that strength ia given to sur
mount all trials if we will but WELD it.
