Pomakua- where a Russian detachment OF two
officers and thirty-two men lost three men killed
and two officers and fifteen men wounded. Tho
Russian force regained the Russian side OF thu
river under the protsotion OF two guns.
The text Of the telegram sent BY the vIceroy
follows:

trating in considerable force 1t Is believed that
they have about one division to the north OF

THE KAIsER's KITCHEN

Feeding the German Emperor is no light task. Despite all that is said about the Katser's Spartan habits, there are few monarchs who keep more elaborate tables.
 He has no less than four chefs Schliedenstucker, a German; Harding, an Englishmen; an Italian and a Frenchman-so that he can have his meals for the day served in the style of whatever nation he may happen to fancy.
 Each of these chefs has his staff of assistants; while in addition there is an individual who may safely be de scribed as sausage maker to the Kaiser"
 His majesty is very fond of the huge white frankfurter sausage and has a supply of them made fresh eve " day in his own Kitchen. When ell gagged in maneuvring his army or u big field day these franlzfurters and bread washed down with lager beer invariably form the Kaiser's lunch
 In addition to all these cooks there is a special staff to prepare meals for the younger of the princes and prin- cess, who are not allowed to partake of the rich dishes the older members of the family indulge in.

One of the funny features of this campaign in the national capital is the evident desire of the leading republi- cans to keep President Roosevelt and his record in the background; to ef- face him and his record absolutely. When the average republican here, says our Washington correspondent. meets his democratic friend and pro- ceeds to q discussion of the political situation, he gleefully says to the democrat; You have no issue; where and what is your dssue?" When the democrat, with smile, remarks that we will make all other issues subor- dtnate and secondary consideration to Roosevelt and his record, the re- publican immediately throws his hands up and practically says: "For heavens sake don't do that! 1t sim. ply accentuates the importance to the democracy of Roosevelt as campaign issue. When every effort is being made by republican leaders to compel Roosevelt to hide behind his former self; when the ex-secretary, chairman of the republican national committee announces that the president will make no speeches in this campaign, 1t means that he will be given no oppor- tunity to make blunder; 1t means ha will try self-effacement as an effort to overthrow his record.

THE QUESTION or BREAD.
Knowledge of the Art of Making Not
 All That Is Necessary s o- to Success.

Cook books will not teach one every thing there is to learn about bread; have become convinced of that, says Els peth Macdonald, in Good Housekeeping. Back of the cook book one must study from experience, and experience teaches more about bread than any food which is prepared in household. The au- thority who wrote the cook book knows her Hours as we'll as the miller does; she has watched yeast do it's wonderful 1eavening labor through microscope, she has studied certain conditions at certain temperatures with 8 thermome- ter at her elbow registering every rise and fall. She has given us to the best of her ability all her deductions and dis icoveEies. But the little byLways by which she acquired her knowledge she could not impart to us in thousand page volumne-and besides, the thou sand-page volume would not be read 1t is 20 years ago since made my first loaf of bread During that time have done family bakings week after week, and yet only last week learned something quite new, from new maid. She had made bread after the recipe that has held it's place against all others for years in our household. The bread was set over night and left on table by an open win dow. Through the night the tempera- ture fell so did the bread. A more un- promising mass of cold, dead dough never saw. It was ooaxed in a warm corner, set in pan of warm water and covered by warm cloths, but at noon, when l turned it over, 1t was still as solid as cheese.
 There is no hope for it,' I said: throw 1t away and telephone to the bakers for bread"
 Let me try another yeast cake in it. s pleaded Anna. i've seen my mother use that in dead-looking dough. It will be only two cents more wasted if the bread does not rise.'
 Try it If you wish,' answered, "but I'm afraid there is no hope"
 At five o'clock the lid, of the bread pan threatened to be lifted off by fine, white, bubbling dough, and at six o'clock the loaves went in the oven. Inever tasted finer, whiter, sweeter, all-round better bread, and it stayed good and moist till the last crust disappeared, four or five days later.
 One has to take into consideration in following the experiment We did, that the dough had not soured. It was set with water, which will not allow dough to sour quickly as if milk were used in the mixing; then, too, in all probability the yeast had been killed almost in stantly; whether by a cold draft or by the yeast cake being dissolved in too hot water, I do not know. Tn the morning the bread pan contained nothing more nor less than mass of four and water waiting for leayening. If it had been sour 1t would not have been worth the labor, fire and two-cent yeast cake which saved it.

 Tamagno, the stentorian tenor, has been making steady income by sing ing into gramophones some of the solos with which he has reused the echoes at Covent garden. He receives fee for singing and a royalty on each disc sold by the company. Great solo ists are nowadays invariably paid by composers to produce their songs, and a well-known soprano is said to be making fifteen hundred year in roy alties of a few pence q copy on one popular melody. But the gramophone opens new source of revenue ap- pealing, as it does to larger audience and giving obvious educational ad- vantages to the student which he can- not receive from the concert solo.- London Globe

Tn few weeks from now 15 million American citizens will go to the polls to vote for a president of the United States, says an exchange. These mill lions of citizens are divided in opinion as to the candidates and policies. Some are for Roosevelt and others are for Parker. Others, agadn, will declare for a third ticket. But, notwithstand- ing our differences, we are all agreed on bottom principles. We all revere the constitution. We all desire order Iy government, We all believe in the equality of citizenship. We all recog- nize the right-not merely the right, but the duty-of every citizen acting on his own Judgment to cast his own ballot at the dictate of his own con- science. This is the guiding spirit of American citizenship. The hour strikes, and the battle of the ballors begins. From sunrise to sunset, from Atlantic to Pacific, the voting goes on. Silently, steadily, peacefully the bal lots fall, like snowfiakes from the sky. The hour strikes again, and the fight is finished The voting has been done in private, the count is made in the open. The result is publicly announced and among the first to hail the victor is the defeated candidate !! The whole nation bows to the elect of the people. He is no more the leader of a party. -he stands for the republic, one and indiyisible!

NOT FIT FOR THE PLACE.
Downfall of an Inspector Who Was
 Not Up to the Task of Inspecting.

Matt V. D. Doughty, superintendent of hull construction at the Newport News shipbuilding and drydock com- pany, is an intensely practical man. He has launched more than 100 ships, in- cluding some of the largest ever built on the American continent, relates the New York Herald.
 Like most practical men, MT. Doughty has supreme contempt for some of the red tape which daily is wound in the shipyard by representatives of the navy department, which has a corps of in- spectors, draftsmen and officers always on hand to look after the interests of the government. Recently an inspector went to MT. Doughty and said:
 q have come to inspect the teak to be used in the battleship Louisiana. z meanwhile laziIy leaning against big pile of timber.
 We have no teak" said MT. Doughty
 The inspector reported to his superior officer, who went down to the office of the superintendent of hull construction.
 'fYou must have some teak here" in- sisted the officer.
 .'Yes,' admitted MT. Doughty.
 Then, why did you tell my inspector that you didn't have any?" was the next question.
 .Your inspector!" snorted MT. Doughty in disgust Why, the - fool was leaning against $40o00 worth of teak when he asked me where 1t was. Do you suppose I've got any time to waste on such men?"

Of the numerous complaints against doing business, none /is more strenu- ous than that against the rural deliv- cry system. Writing on this question the editor of the Farm Journal says: When rural free delivery was started the United States was honeycombed with postal routes, and every man was within convenient distance of post office, or could easily become so. Apart from the fact that the mails were not delivered, we had probably the most efficient and satisfactory system in the world The people were universal ly satisfied with it, nay, proud of it. Few complaints ever reached Wash ington that anything was wrong, and such as did reach the capital were easily satisfied. How has it been since? We might leave our readers to determine that question. Have there been complaints or not? We'll, as- stunning that there is but one answer to the question, we undertake to say that the cause of the complaints that have arisen and gone to Washington is, that a magnificent postal system. covering our whole country, instead of being amended, enlarged and per fected, was being torn up by the roots, postoffices that had existed for years. and well served their purposes, were threatened with extinction, compelling some who were entirely satisfied with their postal facilities to adopt sys- tenn to which they were adverse, giv- ing the favor of free delivery to only small portion of the population. while the vast majority were not so favored. Where before every soul was satisfied, no serious complaint coming dron any quarter, vast multitudes' Of people were so greatly disturbed at
