Religious and semi-religious plays
seem to be having quite a vogue just
now Persifal is essentially a religious
opera. Every man is a mystery Mary
of Magdala was a religious play. Now
Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress has been
dramatized. Poor Bunyan his bones,
or his dust would rise in his grave if he
knew that his immortal allegoTy were
to be presented in that haunt of son, as
he would call it, a theater. Time brings
about some strange changes. We only
need a dramatization of Millions Para
disc Lost to have reached the limit. BY
the way Tom Moore in some of his poe
tic letters, mentions that he saw
dramatization of the story of Suzana
at the Port st. Martin Theater, Paris.
According to the genial poet, the story
was realistic in its costumes or lack of
costume.

The amount of Russian loss in this
engagement keeps growing. First there
was no engagement. Then there had
been an insignificant skirmish and the
Japanese had been repulsed, and there
was no loss. Then the Japanese told
the story, claimed a victory and put the
loss at 800. Lastly Kuropatkin confess
es to a loss of 1000, and also the loss of
the guns. The truth is far from the
Russian. If things continue to go on
as they have Russia will be soon will
ing to have some friendly power inter-
vene. Japan has very nearly got what
she wants. Port Arthur and Vladivos-
tok must be taken, and then will come
the evacuation of Manchuria.

A telegram says that Alexieff has
gone to Port Arthur to visit Kuropat-
kin. This cannot be correct since Ku-
ropatkin is either at Mukden or in it's
vicinity. He would be isolating him
self if he were at Port Arthur. 1t is
more probable that Alexieff has left
Port Arthur whittier he went after the
Petropavlosk was sunk. That would be
likely with Japanese troops landing on
the Peninsula.

Beside bringing up her navy to its
present pitch of efficiency, Japan has
done wonders for her merchant marine
in the last ten years. In 1898 there
were built 30 vessels, 26 steamers and
sailing vessels aggregating 4,426 tons.
In 1902 the total number of vessels built
was 204 of which 81 were steamers and
1877 were sailing vessels, with a tonnage
of 20, 1868 tons. The banner year. how
ever, was 1901, when 273 vessels were
built, II steamers and 2O2 sailing evssels
aggregating 52,08S tons. The total of
vessels built in ten years has been 1896
of which 497 were steamers This is a
wonderful record for a nation hardly
fifty years from the junk stage,

1t looks very much as if the bottling
up of Port Arthur had succeeded. The
fact that Japanese force has been
brought in transports to the Liaotong
Peninsula, shows that the Japanese
fleet has been freed from the fear of the
Russian vessels breaking out. The fall
of Port Arthur once it is isolated, may
be almost safely predicted.

very successful. The timber to be
treated is placed in a vacuum, pro-
duced by pumping out the air. The
cells are thereby freed of air and the
wood is then impregnated under pres
sure with a solution of sulphate of am
monia and borax ammonia. The color,
texture, or density of the wood is not
affected thereby. The process renders
it fireproof and proof against decay.

BODY OF WOMAN
is REGARDED AS a VALUABLE
FtND-WlLL BE PRESERVED
in MUSEUM.
(By Publishers Press.)

RUTLAND, VT, Oct. 1S--The body
of the petrifed woman, found in
Washington recently by Willard H.
Clougl, is considered by Professor
Charles H. Richardson, of Dartmouth
College, to be find of great value.
He declared it representative of
a race that Inhabited America before
the arrival of the Indians. He is pre-
pairing to have it preserved at the.
State museum in Montpelier. The
shape of the head, says Professor.
Richardson, is unlike that of any
known people of today The cheek
bones are high and prominent, and
the forehead slopes back rapidly.
The height of the body is five feet
ten inches, and the breadth of the
shoulders Is inches. The appear
ance of the arms and legs and scars
on the body indicate that the woman
was murdered and dismembered. The
left arm is attached to the body by
the petrifying action The optic nerve
shows plainly.

PosToFFlcE ROBBERY AT
NEW CUMBERLAND.
Third Time the Office Has Been
Made the Object of Bursla-
rious Attention.

NEW CUMBERLAND, w. Va, Oct.
1S.-Safe crackers made a 5000 haul
at the New Cumberland postoff1ce at
an early hour yesterday morning The
office had just been moved into the
fine new building of the New Cum
berland Savings and Trust Com
pany, and the vault and safe used by
the postmaster was supposed to be alb
solutely burglar proof. The vault was
drilled and the safe dynamited. Post
master J. B. Campbell discovered the
robbery on opening the Office yester-
day morning. People in the vicinity
heard the explosion in the night, but
did not investigate, thinking the noise
was made by railroad men setting off
blasts across the river. About half
the booty taken was in stamps and
the rest in cash. This is the third
time the Office has been robbed since
Mr.. Campbell has been postmaster. 1t
was also robbed once when his pred
ecessoT, F. w. Stewart, was in office.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
CINCINNATI ENTAILlNG A
LOSS OF 100000.
.Bv Publishers Press.)

CINCINNATI, o., Feb. 1S-.The w.
H. Brown Sons coal elevator, of the
Monongahela River Consolidated Coal
and Coke Company, at the foot Of
Lawrence street, was swept by ire
early to-day, causing loss of over
10000. The blaze started in the sta
bles of the company and spread to the
elevators containing two hundred
thousand bushels of coal before it
could be brought under control
Persons identified with the company
are of the opinion that the fire is OF
incendiary origin. The coke piles OF the
eastern elevator also igniled and then
the trestle work by which it is carried
from the river caught. This was soon
nguished, however, and there was
little loss in this direction. Back OF
the stables we're about ten wagons and

ness Mr.. Gilmore's clean cut methods

tofore, MIR. Gilmore will be supported
by company of talented and exceed
ingly capable artists with no weak
characters, but every member of the
supporting company fully equal to the
requirements of their parts, and it is
foregone conclusion that hot only
will Mr.. Gilmore's temperance in
