correspondent of the Tageblatt in the
far east, telegraphing from the Rus
sian headquarters, says that on June
% the Japanese occupied Kai Chau,
and that a decisive battle of the uni

pected shortly.
Chicago, June 25.-A special to the

Another demonstration took place
off Port Arthur on Thursday. Firing
began from the forts about 10 a. m.
and continued until / p. m. The pro-
gram was about the same as on the
previous day. The destroyerS and
torpedo boats pursued the same tao
tics and an auxiliary cruiser lay off
the islands until the firing had ceased,
when it proceeded eastward at full
speed. At $3.50 the same evening fir
ing began heavily from the bluff, with
much activity of the searchlights, in
dicating the approach of torpedo
craft. A little later the sound of

Teachers Lost Their Jobs.

Gallipolis, o., June 2S.--As result of
alleged illegal trafficking in eXamina-
ton questions, four teachers have
been dismissed in this county. The
county board of examiners have for
some time past been suspicious that
there were irregularities in connec-
tion with the examinations. Two lists
of questions were made out and given
to rival printers. One list, it is said,
was purchased by applicants, while
the other, prepared secretly, was the
one given to them on examination day.
Those who had bought the list enter
ed a complaint when the other ques-
tions were presented and a young
man who failed at the examination
exposed the scheme to the examiners.

RUSSIAN BATTLESHIP SUNK.

Toxic, June 27.-Admiral Togo re-
ports that on June % his patrol boat
discovered the battleship Peresviet
and seven other vessels, accompanied
by nine torpedo boat destroyers, near
the entrance of Port Arthur harbor.
They warned him wirelessly and he
advanced his fleet. The admiral then
discovered that the Russian fleet,
which consisted of six battleships, five
cruisers and IA destroyers, evidently
planned a dash southwark.
The Russians stopped outside the
entrance to the harbor and after
nightfall fleet of Japanese torpedo
boat destroyers attacked the Russian
ships and succeeded in torpedoing and
sinking battleship of the Peresviet
type and disabled the battleship Sc
vastopol. A cruiser of the Diana type
was observed being towed into the
harbor on Friday morning and it was
evident she had sustained serious
damage. The Japanese ships sustain
ed little damage.
st. Petersburg, June 27.-Up to last
night the Japanese report of the loss
of three Russian ships at Port Arthur
has not been published here, though
the authorities have allowed to be
printed a statement that the squadron
had made a sortie and also the news
of the loss of Japanese torpedo boat
destroyers.

w. H. Ellis. the Hawaiian Count of
Monte Cristo, is big man, in the
prime of life, and of even darker com
pleXion than his noted countrywoman,
eX-Queen Lii. Mr. Ellis is a gentle
man who by his habits adds to the
joyousness of any community that is
favored by his presence. His slight
est purchase is a benefaction, and in
the mere matter of cigars he eXpendsJ
from So to $40 per diem. He passed
through Washington recently and
when getting ready to leave the city
an employee of the hosiery was
handed six boxes of brand that re-
tails for so cents each, with the COM
pliments of the generous Hawaiian.
Mr.. Ellis has every right to be
high-roller and lavish spender, for he
has sources of revenue that bring
him in a royal income. Besides his
sugar estates in the islands, he owns
coffee plantations in Cuba, copper
mines in old Mexico and diamond
mines in Africa. His collection Of
shining gems is worth the ransom
of king.
"All the pleasure l have in life"
said he to a reporter, 'is giving ny

EXPLOSION OF FIREWORKS.
Front of a Building at Philadelphia
Was Blown Out.
Three People Were Killed and Several
Injured - Building Took Fire
Three Firemen In
jured.

Philadelphia, June 2S.-Three per-
sons lost their lives and a half dozen
others were injured yesterday as the
result of the explosion of a small
bundle of fireworks in the store room
of the Diamond Fireworks Co. at No.
S26 Arch street. The dead are:
Jacob Jancovitch, aged % years.
o. Berman, 27.
Lena Sempson, 81.
The fireworks concern occupied the
first floor of the building. The second
floor was vacant and the third story
was occupied by the French Hat and
Bonnet Frame Co. Jancovitch was
the proprietor of the hat and bonnet
concern and Berman and Miss Semp-
son were his employees. These three
were the only persons who were above
the first floor. About dozen persons
were employed by the fireworks COM
pany.
The cause of the fireworks eXplod-
ing is not known. Thomas Conway,
one of the firm of the fireworks COM
pany, was wrapping up a small bun
die of fireworks for customer when
it exploded. Almost instantly the en-
llTS EOOIu lull VI ulSWOlhS DeCdluS
ignited from flying rockets and fire
crackers. All the employees on the first
floor escaped without serious injury.
The front of the first floor was. blown
out by the explosion of powder and
soon the entire building was in flames.
Every effort was made to rescue those
on the third floor. Firemen climbed
ladders in the midst of the pyro-
technics and finally reached those on
the third floor. Miss Sempson and
Jancovitch were found alive, but died
In a hospital. Berman was dead
when he was taken from the building.
During the rescue three firemen
were injured and three other persons
were also cut and bruised, but their
injuries are not serious.
The flames spread to the building
occupied by H. S. Kilner & Co., pub
fishers of Catholic books, and that oc-
cupied by ]. l.. Gibney & Brothers,
dealers in automobile supplies, but did
no serious damage. The entire loss
on all three buildings, including stock,
is estimated at 100000.

cAsT-lRoN DANGEROUS.

lts Use In Structural Work Is Con-
demned by a Philadelphia Profess
sor.
At recent meeting of the Franklin
institute, of Philadelphia Prof. Alex
ander E. Outerbridge reviewed the re-
suit of his recent studies on the eff
feet of severe heat on cast iron, and
illustrated the danger of combining it
with steel in building construction.
He proved conclusively that bar
of cast iron 16 inches long, after heat
ing and cooling. shows a permanent
expansion of about 0.45 per cent,
while under similar conditions steel
will return to its original dimensions.
Photographs taken after the fire at
Baltimore were exhibited, and in
every case the steel skeleton build
ings resisted the terrific flood OF
fire. while cast iron buildings lay in
shattered ruins.
One towering steel building, al
though gutted from top to bottom,
was found to be plumb, and the skele-
ton in such perfect condition that the
building could be refnished and oc-
cupied again.
Applying the results of his labora-
tory experiments in building construc-
ton, especially in the light of actual
fire tests at Baltimore, the lecturer
expressed his opinion that any combi-
nation of cast iron with steel within
such structures constitutes distinct
fire hazard.
All fireproof buildings should be
constructed of steel. At the last
meeting of the American Society of
Civil Engineers in New York also the
employment of cast iron was the sub
ject of unusually spirited condemna-
tion. These scientific demonstrations
and their proved results are sure to
have a very definite effect in planning
future fireproof constructions.

TO DISSOLVE THE STANDARD.
An Ohio Man Asks a New Jersey Court
to Declare the Oil Trust ILLEGAL,

Trenton, n. j., June 2S.-Charles d.
Henderson, jr., of Jersey City, and Jo-
seph M. w. Newlin, of Philadelphia,
counsel for George Rice, of Marietta,
o., on Monday filed in the court of
chancery bill for the dissolution of
the Standard Oil Co., a New Jersey
corporation, charging that the com
pany is illegal and that it exists in
violation of the antitrust laws of the
United States and of the decision in
this state relating to monopolies.
The bill charges that the Standard
Oil Co. in Ohio was declared illegal
by the courts of that state, but that
the company, instead of dissolving in
obedience to, that decision has, by sub
terfuge, evaded the Ohio decision and
that the New Jersey corporation is
merely a holding company for the
Ohio concern. The bill asks that not
only the company be dissolved, but
that it's assets be distributed among
it's stockholders after paying off it's
outstanding securities. For the ac-
complishment of this purpose it is
asked that receiver be appointed.

TWO STEPS.
The Last One Helps the First.

A sick coffee drinker must take two
steps to be rid of his troubles and get
strong and well again.
The first is to cut off coffee abso-
lutely.
That removes the destroying ele-
ment. The next step is to take liquid
food (and that is Postum Food Coffee)
that has in it the elements nature re-
quires TO change the blood corpuscles
from pale pink or white to rich red,
and good red blood builds good strong
and healthy cells in place of the
broken down cells destroyed by coffee.
With we'll boiled Postum Food Coffes
to shift to. both these steps are easy
and pleasant The experience of
Georgian proves how important both
are.
From 1872 to the year 1900 my wife
and | had both been afflicted with sici;
or nervous headache and at times we
suffered untold agony. We were coffee
drinkers and did not know how to get
away from it for the nabit is hard to
quit.
But in 1900 read of case similar
to ours where Postum Coffee was used
In place of the old coffee and COM
plete cure resulted, SO | concluded 20
get some and try it.
"The result was, after three days use
of Postum in place OF the coffee L
never had symptom of the old
trouble and in. five months / had
gained from las pounds to 1853 pounds.
MY friends asked me almost daily
what wrought the change. My answer
always is, leaving CT coffee and drink
ing Postum in its place.
I'VE have many friends who have
been benefited by Postum.

Wednesday by Japanese flotilla of
three destroyers and four torpedo
boats. AS the fotilla steamed along
1t was heavily engaged with the forti-
fications, but apparently suffered no
damage, although a signal mast of one
of the torpedo boats was knocked out
of shape as If struck by shell. The
operation was backed at some dis
tance by two cruisers. Shortly after
ward heavy firing began on the land
side, lasting until dusk.
