Strongest Ever Att cked So Say
Experts

The Daily Mails correspondent
at Toxic cables as follows:
son December 10 the Japanese
signaled the Russian hospital ships
protecting the destroyers IN the
roadstead of Port Arthur to change
their locactlons and the Russians
requested respite of six hours,
which meant giving the destroyers
the benefit of darkness. The sequel
is not known.
"It is reported that recently posi-
tions have been captured behind
Liaotie, which have cut off the Rus
sian supply bases from the main
force"
Foreign correspondents from
Port Arthur declare that the fortress
is the strongest that ever was at
tackled, and compare it to six
Sevastopols, all set on hills arranged
in mutually supporting groups, con-
nected with tramways and tele-
phones, and backed by mass of
wall masking the movements of the
troops from one another. They
consider that no other armies in the
world could have done what the
Japanese have accomplished, but
deprecate as over-sanguine the idea
of Its immediate capture.
The Daily Telegraph's CORE
spondent at Chefoo, in a dispatch
dated December a6, says:
"a messenger from Port Arthur
describes Japanese attack the
evening of December "a with
light column of S, 900 and many ma
chine guns on the northern defenses.
They dashed along the railway,
carried trench after trench and sue

beneath Payuisean mountain, when
the Russian artillery worked terrible
execution. A fierce bayonet fight
occurred at midnight. A strong
Russian force advancing eastward
of the Payuisean mountain threat
ened the retreat of the Japanese,
who, after desperate struggle, re-
tired to the north, leaving several
machine guns, 900 rifles and eighty
prisoners. 1t is estimated that
they lost 600 killed. The Japanese
halted near the cemetery and find

Annapolis middles attempted to
smuggle in whiskey and have a
glorious old Christmas. They were
discovered and many of them ar
rested. Some of them are likely to
be dismissed from the institution.
Rather expensive fun, that. Thus
does whiskey always cause trouble.

Vice President Fairbanks took
the first thr ee degrees of masonary,
in indianapolis, yesterday. 1t is
common to confer two degrees on a
candidate in one evening where
there is a social emergency, but
very rare for the three degrees to be
conferred in one day.

If farmer find stump or rock
on his farm that interferes with
farming, operations, no one would
deny his right to blow it up with
dynamite. Should he find a pipe
line that is a contant menace to life
could he not with impunity apply
the same remedy?

St. Joe is short of water caused
by an ice gorge that cut off the

dynamite may remedy the evil.
The same material seems to be the
only remedy for the pipe line evil.

STOCK MARKET BOOMING.
Industrial Revival And Low Rates OF
Interest.

New York, oct. 22.--The stock mar
ket has broadened out this week to
n volume and scope not attained be-
fore IN over three years. Ease OF
money rates, unequaled In October
for many years, and evidence of an
effective Industrial revival are the
underlying tone in speculation. The
appearance OF the public as buyer,
figured largely In the animation OF
the week. The absorptIve power Ct
the market has proved equal to the
enormous profit taking from early
buyers and prices shave rallied from
all directions moving forward TO new
high levels on a growing volume Of
business.

Tibet, Thibett, Tibet, as you
please, also the ancient Tangut, known
for ages as the Heart of ASIA" is
practically an unexplored country. Its
territor yis estimated at between &c.,
900 and 100000 square miles, and its
population from 100000 to 10000, 900.
1t has no political Importance 1t is
a land of high plateaus and the Hottest
mountains in the world. Most of the
peaks are covered with eternal snow.
1t is not only the heart of Asia, but the
fountain as well, as NEST OF the rivers
of that great country have their
sources in its springs and lakes. The

Strikes in Canada.

The loss of time to employees
through trade disputes throughout
Canada during June was approximate
ly 62, 4SS working days. This is an in
crease of nearly 5000 days compared
wit hthe previous month, and is largely
accounted for by a strike of iron and
stee workers at Sydney, Nova Scotia,
in which $4,000 working days were
lost. In June, 1908, there was a loss
of 122, 612 working days, about 10000
more than in the present year. ss
Three disputes ended in favor of the
employers and three in favor of the
strikers. Four disputes ended in COM
promises satisfactory to both parties,
and in the remaining case, which con-
cerned the employment of nonunion-
lists, the difference ceased with the
initiation of the new employees into the
union.

Gold in the TransvaaI.

During the first four months of 1904
the Transvaal mined 1,1Y2,514 ounces
of gold, worth S24,651, 143. During a
corresponding period in 1903 the out
put was S31,12S ounces, worth ST.
387, 532.~H The total product of gold in
1893 was worth SCI, 265,57O. If the
rate of production of the first four
months of 1904 is maintained, the
Transvaal will yield in 1904 at, least
$77,s64,0 900 worth of the yellow metal
in other words, as much as in the
years just preceding the Boer war.
English enthusiasts are looking for a
future ouoput in the Transvaal of
100000, 900 to $3.50, 900, 900 a year.

Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in A-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a
1907. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
tiers and figures "16 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.

Boots for Soup.

Rawhide, or even leather, if boiled
for hours, will make a nutritious soup.
Many a man has bridged the awful
gap by boiling his boots, whence the
phrase to express the final extreme

the story going the rounds of the
press, Mark Twain was once put to
this final resort, and recorded after

A Tall Genius

Nicola Tesla, the student of cleo
tricity, is an unusually tall man, with
the flighty look of a genius in eyes,
face and manner. Although his in
ventions have made him rich, he is a
tireless worker in his chosen profess
sion. He looks to be about 81 years
old, which is just ten years less than
the reality. His father was priest of
the Greek church.

American Grapevines in Hunqar,

American GrapevineS in Hungary.
American grapevines are proving
the salvation of the Tokay grape said
Julius Lando last evening. He had
just returned from Hungary, where
the Tokay grape is grown.
''In the early '90s a vine louise made
its appearance in the Tokay fields" he
continued, land in an incl-edibly short
time had devastated every vineyard in
the district American shoots were
experimental with, and it was found
that the louise refused to touch them,
they being immune from it's ravages.
after these shoots had grown the
first year, shoots of the Tokay plant
were grated on them, and these al
lowed to grow another year. The third
spring they were cut down and wound
about the root stem of the American
plant, and allowed to shoot forth an
other year. But it was not until the
fourth year that an attempt was made
TO garner the harvest
