JAPS LOSE MANY MEN
FORTY THOUSAND PERISH IN AT.
TACK ON PORT ARTHUR.
Desperate Efforts of Besiegers to Take
Fortress Temporarily Abandoned
After Enormous Loss of Life.

1t is widely reported at Dalny that
the Japanese killed or wounded in
front of Port Arthur during the last.
three months approximate 100000.
There are persistent rumors that the
japanese have occupied the forts on
Rihlung mountain and certain forts of
the Keekwan mountain group, but well
informed Japanese here consider these
rumors as premature.
These Japanese, however, are conf
dent that the end of the Russian occu
patton of Port Arthur is fast approach
ing. They admit that they have been
disappointed heretofore, but say that
their previous hopes never had such a
fact-based foundation as those they at
present entertain.
Information has been brought to-
Chefco by Chinese that the six days
of bombardment and desperate efforts
on the part of the besiegers to take the
fortress of Port Arthur ceased on
Wednesday. The japanese took fort
No. 3, but were unable to hold it. The
japanese losses are reported to be
enormous.

AT MERCY OF BROWN MEN.
Only Question of Time Until Port
Arthur Will Fall.

Information has been received at
Chefoo, the reliability of which is be-
yond question, that the Japanese now
occupy positions which place the east
side of the town at their mercy.
The last assault has gained for
them positions which insure their abil-
ity to enter the main east forts when
ever thsy are ready.
The Japanese calculate that if the
Russians do not surrender now, they
will be capable of prolonging the fight
ing by making their final stand at
Liaoti promontory and Tigers rail for
a month longer, with the mere hope
of continuing the struggle.
Long before the second Pacific
squadron arrives in the Pacific, the
Japanese flag, it is now believed, will
wave over the wrecked citadel.
The Japanese have not occupied lne
main forts and highest points of the
east hills, but they occupy in over
whelming numbers positions which
will enable them to drive the Russians
back whenever they desire.
When the Japanese occupy the east
fort ridge they will completely domi.
! nate the other Russian forts with their
artillery.

CULTIVATE SENSE OF TASTE.
Its Possession Said to Have Good
Effect on General! Health.

Taste and smell are two senses we
90 not cultivate enough; indeed, hear
ing, as we know in the case of the
blind, can reach an acuteness which
the ordinary person is absolutely de-
fcient in. Both taste and smell have
great uses. Probably we should not
see people living in dirty and insani-
tary conditions SO blissfully were the
sense of smell little more developed;
while taste, especially in women, is
often stigmatized as greediness. The
gourmet, to use a French word, is
not gormandizer, but man whose
taste Is aesthetically and exquisitely
trained. 1t is said that the Marechal
Due de Richelieu, who was a great
gastronomic connoisseur, possessed so
fine taste as to be able to distir-
guish whether the breast Of chicken
was cut from the side of the gall or
not. In the same way wine-tasters
can tell a VINTAGE instantly. Women
rather despise taste; they eat and
that is all. Yet taste was certainly
given us for good purpose, and nc
one can order a dinner intelligently
who has not cultivated his palate The
food one likes and enjoys always
agrees with ones health better than
any other, and the fadGist who would
reduce all diet to uniformity would
in time wreck the public digestion.

Cured Her rheumatism.

Deep Valley, Pa, Oct. 31.-(Spe-
cial.) is deep interest in Green
county over the cure of the little
daughter Of l. N. Whipkey of Rheu-
matism. She was great sufferer for
five or six years and nothing seemed
to do her any good till she tried Dodd s
Kidney Pills. She began to improve
almost at once and now she is cured
and can run and play as other chill
dren do. Mr.. Whipkey says:
II am indeed thankful for what
Dcdd's Kidney Pills have done for my
daughter; they saved her from being
a cripple perhaps for life"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved
that Rheumatism Is one of the results
of diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism Is
caused by Uric Acid in the blood. If
the Kidneys are right there can be no
Uric Acid in the blood and conse-
quently no rheumatism. Dodd's Kid
ney Pills make the Kidneys right.

TROTTING.
JOCKEYS LEG
 WAS BROKEN.
Hennessey, One of the Best
 Lightweight Riders is
 Badly HurtFast Trot- ter for Austria.

New Orleans, Feb. 26-An accident occurred during the running of the fifth race yesterday afternoon in which one of the best lightweight boys here, W. Hennessey, was inJur- ed. Hennessey's foot was broken and it will be some time before he will be able to ride Hennessey was astride of Hummer II, and at the seven fur dong pole was crowded into the fence by Trayers on Bud Embry and Cal hennessey dld not pull up nls mount ana put forth his best euorts to WIn. Being crushed into the fence was not the only interference that Hennessey and Hummer met with. They were cut off on the backstretch and again shortly before the tnree-quarter pole was reached. With clear saiIing Bum- mer would have won, as he ilnisned well up ill the bunch. beaten by only about two lengths. The race was won roy Fonta, the fayorite, wno was tor tunate in getting off well and escap- ing the rough crowding during. the running of the race. lhe spot where Hennessey was injured has been the scene of a number of accidents this winter.
 One of the biggest killings of the meeting came off in the fourth race. Milady Love was the medium of the plungers. She is owned by W. R. Midgley and was ridden by the stable jockey Callahan. The books laid as good as 8 to 1 ill the opening betting. There was a scramble to get on at post time the best quoted against the good thing was to l. Maritana was the favorite at 5 to 2. Milady Love broke and was never headed, winning cleverly from Prodigal Son and Mar itana. The local players were hard hit, and from all accounts the pool rooms throughout the country also were touched up bit.
 The flags of the fair grounds were at half mast yesterday i'll memory of Thomas Reilly, the president of the Queens County Jockey Club.
 Jockey McCafferty threw away a race after it had been won with the heavily backed choice Sadducee in the third event, McCafferty coming down the stretch was so busily engaged in watching and interfering with Pre- sentation that he did not see Robbins come up on the rail with Inquisitive Girl, and when he did see the East ern lilly in the lead he sat down to ride, but it was too late, as Inquisi- tive Girl won all out on the post by a length.
 J. L. Richards yesterday wired his trainer, Frank Lightfoot, to sell all of the horses that he has here with the exception of three or four. By an order of court yesterday R. c. Bush was authorized to sell all of the horses owned by c. w. Stanton, the turfman who became insane here some time ago.

THE OLYMPIC GAMES.

Natural conditions have made it possible to contest all Of the features ina connection herewith ill a manner that will be highly creditable to all concerned. A monument in St Louis to the third revival of the classic ev- ent will be the stadium wherein the games of 1904 are to be held. For. in connection with the department of physical culture, the Worlds fair authorities. have built and equipped q gymnasium that is to be permanent and a stadium that is an ideal one, a counterpart of the ancient ones With rows Of tile seats. Both of these will become the property of the Washing ton University.
 For the first time in the history of physical culture, this great factor 1n the welfare of society ffic'ally recognized as an Independent depart ment of a Worlds exposition. A per manent gymnasium and a stadium with a seating capacity of 35,0OO have been erected upon the expo sition site. A program Illustrating the educational and scientific phases of the subject more adequately and completely than has ever before been attempted will be carried out. A great opportunity is afforded the pro- motion Of the best interests of physi- cal education by means of lectures, exhibits and class demonstration, and to coordinate the various ptases of the subject, educational. scientific and competitive. giving to each it's true value and place. The aim of the authorities is to give an adequate representation of the work and prog ress already accomplished; to give Ia basis for an intelhgent conception of the subject, and to stimulate a help fri interest and new growth along all lines.
 The feature however, will be the Olympic games that are scseHul~d to taka place from August 29 to Sept. 3. These are the track and field events that are open to the athletes of the

ABOUT TOMMY WARREN

Tommy Warren, crack feather weight twenty years ago, died in Frisco the other day. He was famil- iarly known to ring followers as ''The Running Bird,' and in his time oc- cupied the same position among fight CTS Of his class as Terry McGovern did up to the time he lowered his colors to Young Corbett. Warren was at his best when John l.. Sullivan and Jack Dempsey were sweeping all before them, and the little fellow was their constant associate. He was nigh roller, but he possessed wonderful physique and had a quick, heavy punch that made short work of his opponents. But one day he got mix ed up in a gun fight down in Texas, killed man and went to prison, where he served number of years. He was pardoned in 1900 and hurried to this city, looking for "easy money.' ? On the stretch of his reputation of days gone by, he secured a match with Terry McGovern, and they came together at. the Broadway A. c. on April 20, 1900. Warren was a physi. cal wreck. and a couple of punches from McGoyern made him quit.
