.RUSSIA'S SQUADRON FLEW
REFUSED TO GIVE ADMIRAL TOGO
A BATTLE.
Port Arthur Squadron Stronger in
Some Respeets-Jap's Guns Donni-
nate Dock Yards at Port Arthur
Four Russian BattIeships Which Re-
turned There Cannot Be Repaired.

Toxic, Aug. 15-Fags are flying
lanterns are glimmering and cries of
"banzai' are ringing in the streets of
Toxic in honor of the victory gained at
sea by Admiral Togo and Vice Admiral
kamimura. Underneath the jollification
of the populace lies a feeling of deep
satisfaction and qualification at the dis
posal OF desperately serious problem
of the war. The Russian squadron
which confronted Admiral Togo re-
fused battle. 1t was stronger than Ad-
miral Togo's squadron in battleships
and armored cruisers, and had it elect
ed to fight the result might have alter
ed the fortunes of war. The strength
of the squadron which opposed Adj
miral Togo compelled him to draw YES
sells from the squadron under Vice Ad.
miral Kamimura.
The raid conducted by the Vladivo-
stok squadron in July was extremely
expensive to Japan, and not only was
retaliation tempting, but it was de-
manded by commercial interests. The
navy, however, grimly refused to make
a diversion and stuck to Port Arthur. It
was confident that the harbor soon
would be untenable for the Russian
warships; that it would eventually get
fair fight in the open sea away from
the Russian land batteries and that
the Japanese would win. The calcula-
tons of the navy were correct. and the
Russians, with the chances even, have
been hopelessly defeated.
Control Port Arthur.
Japanese guns dominate the dock.
yards at Port Arthur, and, in view of
this fact, it would seem to be impos-
sible to again make seaworthy or fight
able the four Russian battleships which
have returned to Port Arthur. The
best possible naval force that Russia
can now concentrate at V1adivostok is
four cruisers.
Cheefoo, Aug. ia telegram just
received here from a reliable source
states that a general attack on Port
Arthur began at o'clock this morn
ing.
ST. Petersburg is a general
belief, which is borne out by the latest
dispatches, that the situation at Port
Arthur is desperate one. Apparently
the Japanese are concentrating all
their energies toward the reduction of
the fortress in order to release heavy
achievements for the operations
gainst General Kuropatkin, and it is
thought that until this has been accom-
plished the advance on Liayang will be
suspended.
The St Petersburg Boerse Gazette
has received the following dispatch
from its Liayang correspondent:
Twelve Japanese regiments have
left in the direction of Port Arthur.
at is stated on trustworthy author
ity that the mikado has ordered that
Port Arthur must be taken at any cost
even if it necessitates the suspension
of operations in Manchuria, and it is
quite probable the main Japanese force
will proceed to Port Arthur within a
few days.

The Old EashiOned Wife.

A pretty young married woman said
to friend the other day: Mary is
such an old fashioned wife. She has
such queer notions about her duty to
her husband and home. Why, she de-
clines all invitations unless he is in
Guided and never under any circum-
stances is away from home when he
returns at night
Then she always gets up to break
fast with him and even goes so far as
to prepare certain favorite dishes for
him instead of leaving such business
to the cook. She does not 60 away in
the summer until he is able to 60, too,
and, in fact, she fuses over him in
the most absurd fashion"
After the pretty creature had van
ished to join party Of friends at din
ner a reflective mood stole over the
friend. and she thought how much bet
ter it would be if there were more old
fashioned wives.

The Irish rcfOrmcr, Father Mathew,
used to tell Of Il remarkable visit made
TO his grandfather by Dean Swift. Mr..
Mathew lived near Dublin and invited
the eccentric dean to dine and spend
the night at his house. \ large party
of the nrJghboring gentry were hidden
to meet him
The dean drove UP to the house and,
summOning the butler, asked the names
of the guests
Tell your master he shouted, Il
will meet no such people," and drove
away i'll fury. Before he reached the
lodge gates, however, he changed his
mind, returned, alighted and demand
ed to be shown to his room.
When his host came to him Swift
said, Il am willing to accept your hos
pitality, but l will not meet your
guests"
He was told that his meals should
be served in his room, as if he were
at home. He remained thus isolated
for two days, then came down in high
good humOr, joined the party and eX-
tended his visit for four months.

Unlike the Jungfrau, the Right or
other European mountains, including
Vesuvius, which have been conquered
by the modern engineers and now wear
the harness of railway to or near
their SUBMITS, Mont Blanc is an abso-
lutte monarch, and no mortal may set
the limit of its reign. The Goths and
Vandals of old, the armies, the tourists
of today or tomorrow may pour down
through the Alpine defles, but Mont
Blanc through all such changes is mon
arch still, its snow capped peaks rising
far above all else and the avalanches
down its sides, more to be feared than
any of its other dangers, defying the
skill and courage of many a climber

The TarantuIa.

Tarantulas are plentiful in the rough
broken country in the southern part Of
California. They are repulsive looking
creatures. with fat. hairy bodies, over
plentiful wiry legs and cruel poison
mandibles. They stay in their bur-
rows during the dry season, but as
soon as the rains begin they sally forth.
The tarantula constructs a very skill
full burrow and nest in the ground. 1t
has n cover so nicely fitted that it can
scarcely be detected from the surround
ing soil. The cover opens and shuts
upon hinge, and on the inside are
holes, into which the occupant thrusts
against intruders.

cuRlOslTles OF SUICIDE.
Trivial Conditions That Have Led Up
10 Self Destruction.


. II is a strange fact that nearly all
great men have tinge OF melancholy
in their blood and are subject at times
TO periods of great depression. Napo-
leon at the beginning Of his career was
iu great financial distress and was pre-
Tented from drowning himself only by
the timely pecuniary Ald OF a school
mate. Bismarck is said TO have de-
clared after the battle Of Sadowa that
he would have killed himself had the
Prussians been beaten, and Byron
while writing "Childe Harold" declared
he would have blown his brains out
but for the reflection that it would give
pleasure to his mOtherill-law.
The reasons for self destruction are
often very curious. Men have frequent
ly been known to put an end to their
lives to escape tOOthache or other
pains. while the dread Of disease has
been known to affect the mind to such
an extent that the victim has destroyed
himself rather than face it. WEAKNESS
of money and good things to eat have
been the cause of suicide. One man
drowned himself in til" seine because
of the color of his hair, which was
faXen. and another shot himself be-
cause his clothes did not fit him. A girl
threw herself into the Danube because
her companions laughed at her corpu-
lence, and Il Frenchman took poison to
Snite his mot hpr-in- In w because she in
sisted upon living with him.

when the Hand Is Kissed.

In Germany and Austria the custom
still prevails among the upper classes
of society of the men kissing the
hands of the ladies'. although the prac-
tice has been abandoned in England,
Scandinavia. Spain, etc, as well as in
France. except among certain Of the
members of the ancient regime in the
FaubOurg St Germain at Paris. In
Austria the women are accustomed to
make Il distinction between the right
and the left hand Thus the right
hand is extended to be kissed by in
feriOrs. while the left, as nearest tire
heart. is reserved for the kiss of peo-
pie of equal social rank.

RESTAURANTS.
They Came Into Being With the
First French Revolution.


First French Revolution.
The restaurant is of comparatively
modern origin. The first French revolu-
ton, at the close of the eighteenth CEN
fury, witnessed its birth. Prior to that
time the best cooks were in the employ
of the nobility, whose ruin threatened
them with equal disaster A happy in
spiration, however, led them to open
places of public entertainment, which
leaped at once into immense popular
favor, inasmuch as previously, while
the French people We're endowed with
the instincts of delicate cookery, they
were unable to crafty their tastes
through the absence of resorts availa-
BILE for the purpose.
The proprietOrs of many Of these es-
adjustments quickly acquired a wide
spread fame and large wealth. Coin
cident with the birth of the restaurant
in France, an immense impulse was
given to the publication of popular
treatiSes on the art Of cookery COM
posed by the most famous cooks. These
We're rapidly disseminated among the
people, who. gifted with a natural gen.
ius for gastronOmy. promptly availed
of the new sources of knowledge to
perfect themselves in an art of which
they have become the foremost expo
nents of the world. Among these pub
licatiOns was the "Almanach DIES Gour-
mands," established in 1904, one of the
classics of culinary learning.

THE duke regularly goes TO bed ev-

the sitting room to proceed to his
rather distant sleeping apartment he
has a number ~ his Wallets posted all
along the line of route. One Of them
takes possession of his wig, the sec

ON, until by the time he has, reached
the goal he is ready to slip into bed

Dedham Savings Bank Open.

Special to the Nonpariel Carroll,
Ia, Dec. 25: An erroneous report
has been circulated that the Dedham
Savings Bank, of Dedham, la, has
been closed on account of the proceed
ings instituted against its president,
j. G. Cation.
A petition was filed the first of the
week with the county clerk asking for
an attachment against the property of
Mr.. Cation for the amount Of $4,000,
the petition setting forth that Mr.. Ca
ton had used certain paper belonging
to the bank to that amount.
The matter has been adjusted, and
everything is running as smoothly as
ii nothing had happened. The bank
is backed by plenty of capital and this
case will in no way impair its
strength.
