An Old PrOverb

"The best way to reach a
mans heart is through his
stomach" is very true, but
there is another way Just as
easy and not quite as expen-
sive, for some men have big
appetites.
Give him a nice pair OF
slippers that he can slip his
feet in when he gets home at
nights, and a smoking jacket
and if that doesn't hold him
we'll, try the slippers and
smoking jacket first.
We have a big stock of both
these articles and very moder-
ately priced too.

Mrs. MAVERICK Reported Released.

London, Jan. 30.-L-oyd's weekly
newspaper says this morning that
Mrs. Florence Maybrick. the Ameri-
can woman who was serving a life
sentence for having poisoned her hus-
band. was released from Aylesbury
female convict prison at o:45 o'clock
on the morning Of January % on a
special license. Her mother. the pa
per says. had visited her Saturday.
January %, and evidently was the
bearer of the important news. The
governor of the prison on Sunday
conferred with the prison officials
with a view TO arranging for the de-
parture of the prisoner. which was
carried out very quietly.
Mrs. Maybrick. accompanied by one
of the prison matrons. entered a
closed carriage and drove To Ayles.
bury station. where she took a train
for London. She drove from Euston
station and from there went to a pri.
vate house not far from the metrop-
oils. She will remain tDere for a
short period in order to recuperate,
and to await the completion of GER
tain formalities which will give her
freedom OF movement, not allowed by
persons on ordinary ticket-of-leave.
Mrs. Maybrick. the paper concludes,
during the last few months in prison
was employed in the lightest work
as a reward for good conduct.
Florence c. Maybrick, daughter of
the late w. G.. Chandler. banker of
Mobile, Ala. was convicted at Liver
pool in 1889 of poisoning her hus.
band, James Maybrick. a cotton brok.
er, who lived part of the time in
Norfolk and part in Liverpool. She
was sentenced to death. This sen.
tence was later committed to life i'm
prisonment.
Many efforts have been made dur
ing Mrs. Maybrick's Imprisonment to
have her pardoned. and II was an
nounced on March "a, 1903, on au.
thority of the home office that she
would be released in 1904.

Russia Replies.

London, Jan. 2S.-The Daily Graph
lie claims to be able to affirm that Rus
draft of her reply has not yet
been officially presented to Japan,
but that it has been communicated to
M. Kurino, Japanese Minister at st.
Petersburg. who has transmitted the
contents to Toxic. whence 1t will be
conveyed to friendly powers. The
Russian reply is courteous, the Daily
Graphic continues, but it refuses in
uncompromising terms to permit re-
insertion in the draft of the treaty of
the two words guaranteeing the In.
tegrity and independence of China,
upon which Japan insisted in her last
note.
The clause proposed by japan was
that Russia and Japan should mutu'
ally agree to respect the integrity
and independence of China and Kor
ca" Russia has now stricken out
twice the words China and" and Il
Is understood that this will close the
negotiations.
1t is probable, the Daily Graphic
goes on, that when this note has beer
presented. Japan will notify Baron dc
Rosen. Russian minister at Toxic
that she has no alternative but tt
take up arms in defense of her inter
ests, and that M. Kurino will be in
structed to demand his passports.

Both Russia and Japan Appear Over
Anxious to Obtain sympathy Of
Other Powers.

st. Petersburg. Jan. 30.-"It will be
astonishing if Japan remains inlex-
ible," were the significant words of
an official of the foreign office to the
Associated Press this afternoon, in
speaking of the Russian response to
the Japanese proposals, which will be
dispatched to Toxic next week.
The remark was not intended to
convey any idea that Japan neces-
sarily will accept the full details OF
the Russian propositions, but rather,
il she is actuated by a sincere desire
to preserve peace, the Russian an
swer will offer a reasonable basis in
a modus vivendi.
All knowledge of the alleged medi-
alton proposed by Prince Ching at
Pekin is denied here, and specific
denial is given to the assertion that
the Russian minister there invited
Prince Ching to take such action.
The report that a thousand Russian
troops are to occupy Antung is also
contradicted. It being intimated that
as this is one of the open ports of
the United States the report might
have been put out to arouse a renew
