VENEZUELA BUYING GUNS.
Castro's Government Getting Ready

for Trouble.
Washington, May 26.-Military
measures on a large scale begun re-
Gently by Venezuela are giving rise to
a great deal of uneasiness and appre-
hension here. 1t is stated that a
French company sold Castro's govern
ment 100000 livres of artillery,
which is being placed in Notifications
at Puerto Cabello and other important
coast ports.
The company also contracted to sup
ply a force of skilled artillery men to
man the guns for a certain period.
Just what this expensive armament
means when Venezuela is so poor is
a matter of speculation here and there
is some fear that it is the f%orerunner
of a reputation by Venezuela of liza
bility fo- further payments Of INSTALL
ments of indemnity under the awards

EXECUTED
RUSSIANS HANG SIX HUNDRED
PERSONS IN THE CITY OF
WARSAW ALONE.

London, May 26.-The STANDARD
publishes a dispatch from a Russian
correspondent in whom the paper says
1t places gNfat confidence, containing
most sensational statements regard
Ing the alarming conditions of Russia
as a result of the war. The CORE
spondent asserts that disturbances in
various cities have been followed by
Wholesale executions without any
civil trial. 1t is stated that 600 per-
sons have been hanged in Warsaw
alone and that many others have been
hanged in Cronstadt and Moscow. At
the latter place the troops buried
eighty collins containing the bodies of
those who had been hanged. The
bodies were buried secretly in the
dead of night, presumably in the
woods. This correspondent asserts
that the wal has resulted in the utter
paralysis of all business and says that
even the most scber-minded are draw
Ing ominous conclusions from the
Significant fact that regiments sta
toned in European Russia have been
retained in their places and that only
reserves have been modified for the
front.
The Standard in an editorial says it
publishes this correspondents state
ments under all reserve, but it thinks
there are many indications, such, for
Instance, as the sinking of the battle
ship Orel, that the normal disaffec-
ton of the population of Russia has
been greatly stimulated by the wal.

TRoLLEYs AND MARRIAGE.
tnterurban Lines Afford Country Couples an Opportunity for
 Cheap Bridal Tour.

Chicago towns have broken all records in the matter of marriages during this much of the year 1904. In Rockford during the ten months up to November 1 there had been 631 marriages. In the same period in 1903 there were 564, and in 1902 490, reports the Chicago Tribune. as
 The electric railways are in a meas ure responsible for the increase of this class of business. There are now three interurban lines centering in the town. They bring in hundreds of couples from other towns and from across the state line in Wisconsin.
 The same increase Is noticeable at other electric railway centers. Aurora, although it is not 8 county seat, gets a great deal of business of this class. The town is now connected with Chi cago, Joliet and all of the Fox river towns, the third rail system grid ironing the most prosperous sections of the near-C Chicago territory.
 The court officers are performing most of the out-of-town marriages. Now and then a minister is hunted up and the ceremony said in the par sonage. A Rockford minister relates that recently 8 Wisconsin young man gave up his last dime to be married in his parlor. He had saved enough to carry himself and bride back home on the trolley line. But ten cents of his store of cash remained. He apol- ogized to the minister for his not be- ing able to offer more, and when the parson found that he was giving up his last cent he refused to accept it., telling the blushing groom that he was quite welcome to his services and insisting that. he keep his money, But the young Badger refused to do any such thing; he laid it within the reach of the good pastor and went off with his bride as happy as if he was carrying with him pocketful of coin.

 RESCUE AMID ICE.
Escape from Death in River Gave Cupid an Opportunity Which
 He Did Not Neglect.

St. Louis, Mo.-As a sequel of dar- ing rescue amid floating ice cakes, Fred w. Tenor, clerk in the offlce of the lighthouse inspector, and Miss Amanda A. Carlson have been married. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father Meters, of St. Bonifaee's church, in Carondelet.
 It was nearly two years ago that they met. MT. Tenor was assistant engineer on the government lighthouse tender Lily. The boat was in the Carondelet ways, being repaired. Miss Carlson's parents lived near.
 One evening in February, Miss Carl son expressed the desire to Mr. Tenor to go out in a boat and light one of the lanterns which guard the navigator of the Mississippi. aa ?
 Together they entered little row boat and crossed to the light, a little distance from the shore. The lantern was lighted and they started back. Darkness was rapidly covering the river. ...r. gs.. .
 A large cake of ice tossing in the current overturned the boat. Tenor was equal to the occasion, and was at the side of his companion as soon as she rose to the surface. With clothes soaked through and the ice all about he swam to shore, carrying the girl to 8 place of safety / .
 Soon afterward MT. Tenor was pro- noted to the position of clerk in the office of the inspector. It is said by those who know that the rescue had much to do with his promotion.

DON'T CROSS YOUR KNEES.
Medical Men Say Grave Evils Come
from Common Habit.

A medical authority has recently ut
tered warning against the habit OF
sitting with one knee crossed over the
other--a pose which is nowadays al.
most as common among women as
among men. This apparently harm.
less habit it seems, is likely to cause
sciatica. lameness, chronic numbness
ascending paralysis. cramps, varicose
veins, and other evils The reason is
simple The back OF the knee, it is
explained, as well as the front of the
elbow and wrist, the groin and the
armpit. contains nerves and blood
vessels which are less adequately pro.
tected than in other parts of the body.
The space behind the knee contains
two large nerves, a large artery, and
numerous veins and Emphatic glands.
1t is the pressure on these nerves and
vessels which is apt TO give rise to
the various troubles against which we
are warned Montreal Herald.
