AN ocTooENARlAws MEMOIRS.

In comparing the manners and Gus
toms OF my youth with those of the
present day. | should say one OF the
chief differences is ia the attitude Of
children toward their parents. Ger
tainly my fathers word was law which
we never dreamed Of disputing. and
a girl never acted independently Of
her mother. At the end Of each dance
she returned to her chaperon. and
never heard of young lady receiving
presents from or driving in cabs with
her partner before being engaged. In
the matter Of dress I think it was
much simpler and less complicated
than it is now; at least. l was never
allowed to wear anything in the even
ing, winter or summer, but white mus
lin made low with short sleeves; and
l remember that when my elder sisters
were going out in London all their
ball dresses and even their court
dresses were made at home by the
maid Almacks was the fashionable
rendezvous of the elite of Bondan So
ciety; no one was admitted except by
ticket from one of the lady patron
esses. On one occasion my mother
saw one Of her friends. who happened
to be very absent-minded Galk up the
ballroom with only one stocking on,
he having altogether forgotten the
other one. The effect Of the pink foot
appearing in contrast to the white silk
stocking on the other foot may be
better imagined than described.-Pall

THE BRITISH EMPIRE.

The British Empire occupies about
one-hfth of the surface Of the habi-
table globe and consists Of the United
Kingdom. with its attendant islands,
and about forty-three dependencies
under separate and Independent gov
ernments, varying in size from Can
ada. which is thirty times the size of
the United Kingdom, to Gibraltar the
area of which is two square miles.
Thus the area of the Brit

st. Petersburg, Oct. Military crit.
les at ST. Petersburg share in the gem
eral uncertainty as to how to size Up
the situation at the front IL Oyayna
makes his anticipated advance. They
seem to agree that a strong screening
movement is in progress near Lao
Yang, that probably a feint will be
made from the west, that the tactics
iof the Japanese at Lao Yang Will be
repeated, and that Kuroki will try a
wide thanking movement from the east.
Some critics point out that conditions
lat Port Arthur may force a change of
,Oyama's plan of campaign. The con-
tinued failure of the attacks on the
fortress, and the enormous losses sus-
tanned by the besiegers, they think,
may compel Oyama to dispatch some
veteran troops from the Manchurfan
army to Nodzu's support. as the REIN
iforcements arriving at Port Arthur are
mostly reserve men.
Unstinted praise is bestowed on Gem
!eral Stoessel for the heroic defense
made by the garrison, which naturally
is increasing tile hope that the fortress
may hold out. In the meantime Kuro-
patkin is receiving reinforcements.
Especially artillery. Nevertheless all
the experts express great doubts
Whether kuropatkin contemplates more
than a passive resistance at Mukaen.
where. they say, the typographical con-
iditions are unfavorable for a defense.
The general conclusion is that the

very short time. Evidence is accumu-
llating that Japanese officers are at the
head of bands of Chinese bandits OPP
lerating on Kuropatkin's right flank,
and the continued agitation of the chi

paganda. is increasing the feeling Of,

KuRoPATklN TO COMMAND.
Friends Assert He Will BE Made Head

st. Petersburg, Oct IA great deal
of uncertainty exists concerning mo-
mentous changes with which the
tongues of everybody have been busy
in ST. Petersburg ever since the formal
announcement of the formation of a.
second Manchurian army. The delay
| in the announcement OF commander
| in chief Of the Manchurian army,
which has been daily expected, is now
! said to be due to Emperor Nicholas
/ intention to wait until Viceroy AIexieff3
i shall have started for St, Petersburg.
/ The viceroy's return in q very short
/ time Is everywhere taken for granted,
and receives credence in the highest
/ circles, but concerning the exact status
he will occupy there Is great diver
genee Of opinion. In the best informed
! circles the belief Is expressed that
1 Alexieff's return does not mean his eff

His friends assert that he will become

matter of recognition Of rights OF neut-

sldorff's enemies freely predict that
i Alexfeff will control the foreign office
actually, IL not nominally.
Count Lamsdorff's friends, however,
treat these reports as inventions of his
ill wishers. Nevertheless, the return to
st. Petersburg of M. Bezobrazoff, who
was secretary Of the far eastern COM
mission before the war;, multaneously
with Alexieff' $ return, may be fraughts
with great Significance and may fore
shadow the complete return to imperial

BRITT GIVEN DECISION
His Fight With Battling Nell
son Lasted For Twenty
Fierce Rounds
NELSON MADE GOOD SHOWING
Referee Roche Gives Britt the Decision
on Cleaner Hitting and Greater
Number Of Points Scored - Great
Audience Witnessed the Battle -
Nelson Offers to Fight Again.

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 81. - A
thirty-five thousand dollar audience
was damned into Mechanics Pavilion
last night when Jimmy Britt, of this
city, and Battling" Nelson, of Chica-
sos fought in what was virtually con-
coded to be contest for the worlds
lightweight championship.
The belief that Joe Cans, colored
pugilist, who recently retained the title
by securing the decision over Britt on
foul, is probably unable to reduce to
light weight limit accentuated the fact
that the winner of last nights battle
champion of the light weight division.
Britt Gets Decision.
At the end of the twentieth round In
the fight between Jimmy Britt Of San
Francisco and Battling Nelson, Of
Chicago, while fighting like a pair Of
bull dogs, the gong sounded the end
of the contest and Referee Roche un-
hesitatingly placed his hand on the
Californian as the winner of the con-
test.
In the closing round Britt was pun
ishing the Chicagoan all over the ring
but his blows lacked sufficient force
to put quietus on his opponent.
Nelson is a Wonder.
At several stages Of the fight Nelson
was badly punished but he always
kept gamely coming up to the firing
line and all thru the fight forced
the fighting. In one or two instances
he had Britt in distress.
Nelson is unquestionably a wonder
in the pugilistic world. Time after
time taking blows heavy enough to put
out an ordinary fighter, he would come
up apparently in his early form and
bring the fighting to Britt.
Referee Roche announced that he
gave the fight to Britt on cleaner hit
ting and greater number of points
scored.
Statement Of Principals.
After the fight Britt admitted that
Nelson had plenty of ability as a fight
err. but without knowledge how to use
1t. Nelson insisted that he had all the
best of it, that Britt was breaking
ground and holding continuously, and
that the referee "made no effort to
break Britt except to give me the worst
of it," He declared his willingness to
fight Britt again, but will insist on Sill
err as referee.
