STOP REPAIRS ON AskoLD.
British Consul Advises Dock Officials
at Shanghai.

London, Aug, 25.-British official ad-
vices lead to the expectation that Rus
Bia will order, III she has not already
done so, the disarmament of the pro-
tected cruiser Askold and the torpedo
boat destroyer Grozovoi, at Shanghai,
and thus end the controversy. The
British dock which the Askold occu-
pies Is outside the foreign settlements
and within Chinese territory and there
fore under Chinese jurisdiction. Sir
Pelham Warren, the British consul
general, Is without authority to order
the dock company to stop repairs on
the ships, but his advice that no fur
ther work On the vessels be done has
been sufficient to convince the dock
officials that if they persist in repair
Ing the Russian vessels and naval
combat occurs in which the dock is
damaged they will obtain no redress
through the British government.

Continued violation of neutrality

SNEAK THIEF
KEEPS PEOPLE NEAR TENNEs.
SEE AND THIRTEENTH BUSY
LOOKING UP.

The residents in the vicinity of Ten
nesee and Thirteenth streets have OF
late bean unable TO sleep in comfort
because of the operations of a sneak
thief, which has necessitated the clos.
ing and locking Of all doors.
!. The latest operations of the thief or
thieves were reported last night when
the kitchen of Mrs. W. Z. Champion,
6is South Thirteenth street, was
broken into and many vegetables
stolen. The thief used cotton bail
ing hook to tear open the screen door
with and evidently left in haste as the
hook was left behind. The theft was
committed between s and Q O'Clock
and while the family was sitting on
the front porch.
So many similar thefts have been
committed in that vicinity of late that
the residents look theiv doors and
suffer the heat rather than furnish
raiions for the unknown msrsuder.

When old age comes on, dis

is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these
cases exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally;
nothing but an effective systemic rem

MARRIAGE IN JAPAN
ODD FEATURES OF THE COURT
ING AND CEREMONY.
Every Girl Is Supposed to Marry and
Match-Making Is a Regular
Business-There Is No
Honeymoon.

Every girl in Japan is expected to
marry, SO when she attains to the age
of 16 or Whereabouts a suitable husband
is sought for her by her parents or a
friend of the family.
The friend is often a professional
matchmaker, who makes it his business
to introduce young people to one an
other. This third person is called the
"go-between." or "Nakadachi." If all
is agreeable the day is fixed.
The wedding ceremony, such as it is.
takes place in the evening, and the
bride leaves her parents house in the
afternoon, TO repair to the bridegroom's
for the ceremony. Sometimes the bride
groom comes to the house for the bride,
in the case of his adoption as a son,
or if the bride is the only child of her
parents.
She is preceded by more or less fur.
niture, and boxes of clothes, carried
on poles by coolies, wearing a special
uniform. She generally takes a writing
table and materials. which consist Of
rolls of porous paper for letters, pack
cts of long thin envelopes, and a rub
bling stone and Indian ink enclosed in
a, square lacquer box.
In her luggage is also 4 chest of
drawers, called g "tans"." and aoIueT
tables for meals, with complete dishes
and cups and chopsticks, and a large
stock of dresses and sashes. AS the
fashion does not change in Japan, a
bride can take to her husbands house
enough clothes to serve a lifetime. Ev-
cry woman, except perhaps in court
circles, knows how to sew and makes
not only her own clothes. but those of
her children and husband as we'll.
Girls are taught how to sew when
quite young, and most of the time out
of school is spent in making or re-
making a "kimona," which is the
name given to the long, loose outer
robe worn in the country. A workbox
is always seen when sewing is in prog
ress, and it has small drawers in 1t for
thread and scissors, and a long foot
measure fitted in at the back. There
is a regulation length for the stitches,
which are carefully measured.
But to return to the wedding cere-
mony. This itself is strictly private,
no Il being present except the bride
and her parents, the bridegroom and
his parents, the go-between-"Naka-
dachi"-and a servant whose business
it is to pass the "cup." "Sakazuke"

letter:
my wife had been suffering from a

years.

Of the most noted physicians. One of
her worst troubles was chronic consti-
patton of several years standing.
"She also was passing through that
most critical period in the life of a
woman-change of life. In June, 1895,
I wrote to you about her case. You adj
vised a course of Peruna and Manalin,
which we at once commenced, and have
to say it completely cured her. She

had been of 25 years standing. Attimes
I was almost past going. l commenced
touse Peruna according to your instruc-
tons and continued its use for about a
