BUSINESS END TO LIFE SAVING.
Outgoing ship Loses stoker, but Not for
Lack OF Chasing Him.


John Cavanagh found himself in South
street the other day, out OF work and will
ing to consider the offer Of job OF almost
any kind from almost anybody. An A.
fable man, whose face in repose was as hard
as cold chisel, observed John and soon
was talking to him in a saloon on the ad-
vantages of life in the stokehold Of British
freighter bound for pleasant and far away
Australia.
The result Of the interview was that
John, somewhat muddled as to what he
had done and was going to do, found him.
self yesterday sailing down the Bay aboard
the British steamship Rippingham Grange.
He was not slow to realize that the hard
faced but genial man had played on his
drunken fancy, and he decided that he was
not going to Australia as a stoker. Then
he ran up OF deck and leaped into the bay
of St. George.
Fourth Officer F. B. Campbell promptly
jumped after Cavsnagh. not it is supposed,
from pure philanthropy, but because the
ship had paid the shipping master who
sent John aboard month or more OF the
wages that John might have earned II he
had stayed with the Rippingham Grange.
John is big, and the fourth officer being
small, had hard time holding up John,
who is an Indifferent swimmer. Both
might have been drowned il boat. lowered
from the ferryboat Castleton, had not
picked them up. The fourth officer had
swallowed much water and felt unoom-
Portable, and John was unconscious, party
from the effects of alcohol and partly from
the effects Of brine.
The fourth officer found that John would
not be able to get about for some time, so
he abandoned him tc the care Of st. Vim
cents Hospital and rowed back 20 the stip
which proceeded, one stokor short.

Special Gable Despatch 10 TBB sun.
ST. PETERSBURG, sept. 2S.-Ihe Emperor
has approved Gen Kuropatldn's decision
in the cases of Gen. Orlof and Gen. Stakel-
berg and both these officers have been re-
moved from the army.
This Is the severest punishment that
could have been inflicted on them. They
lose all rank, their names are struck of the
army list and they are forbidden access to
military precincts
Gen. Orlof's disgrace is due TO his dis
obedience OF orders on Sept. 2, toward the
close of the fighting around l'iaoyang,
he was posted in strong position at the
Yentai mines, which formeo the key to
Gen. Kuropatkin's left flank, and the hold
ing of 1t was necessary to the security OF
the Russian line OF communications. kuro-
pakin had instructed him to act on the
hazards, But, thinking he saw an oppor
tunity to take Gen. Kuroki in flank, he
: abandoned his position and attacked the
Japanese, and was repulsed and thrown
back.
Had Kuroki. with his tired troops, been
able then to push past the Yentai mines to
the railroad, he would have cut of Gen
kuropatkin's retreat to Mukden. As it was,
the danger OF such coup seemed so great
at the time that the Russian commander
ordered the retreat from Liaoyang.
The offence for which Gen. Stakelberg
suffers is not 80 clear. But he was defeated
at Telissu. north Of Port Arthur and by his
hardness after that battle was very nearly
cut off with a large force OF troops. He
was saved on that occasion only at great
risk, by an advance which Gen. Kuropatkin
mace in person to his rescue At Liaoyang
he virtually repeated the performance, as
he failed to cross the Taitse when ordered
to do 80, and was so nearly cut off that Gen
kuropatkn reported to st. Petersburg
that he had been isolated. He managed to
save himself, but at considerable loss.

The Cook County herald., 1904-12-03

. The hurried bachelor who exchanges
a little piece of Manila paper, covered
with cabalistic and terrifying blots
and strokes, for his shirts and collars
in Chinese laundry, has an inherent
conviction. that Chinese is the, most
difficult language to acquire. If he
ever does give it thought, it is more
than probable that he has satisfied
himself that, given the brief space of
1000 years and a comfortable resi-
dence on desert island, so that his
attention would not be distracted, he
might learn to count up to 100 in the
language in which is enshrined the
analects of Confucius and other mas
terpieces of Eastern literature. To
be told that there is a way by which
Chinese is made easy'' is likely to
prove too much for his credulity.
While undeniably there would be a
fascination in being able to know what

when cold were placed in a notch Of

These rush lights emitted a strong
