quite series Of reconnaissance

She Slew Savage Beasts.

Wounded almost unto death by two
ferocious mountain lions, which attacked
her ON road near Clay Run, IL miles
east of Connellsville, Pa, Miss Mary
Doherty, a society Young woman, OF
Pittsburg, was found shortly after dark
Sunday evening. By her side lay the
carcasses of the two animals which she
had riddled with bullets before losing
consciousness. Miss Doherty had LETT
CLAY Run Sunday morning to spend the
day at the home of former schoOlmate.
While returning, and but half-mile
from the village, she was startled by the
wild beasts, which sprang from behind a
rock on the hillside. Before she could
recover from her fright the lions were
upon her. Drawing a small revolver
from her bosom, Miss Doherfy opened
fire on the enraged animals, killing one
and wounding the other. Overcome by
nervous strain, the young woman then
fell to the ground, bleeding from numer-
ous cuts about the neck, face and body.
At the sight of lis almost senseless
victim, the wounded lion renewed its at,
tack. Seizing her weapon the second
time Miss Doherty fred. Her aim wa:
true and the wounded lion fell dead by
her side. While returning from a drive

a Young farmer, almost drove over the

National Arbitration Tribunal.

Bishop Spalding, of Peoria, mem-
Der of the late coal strike commission,
in prefacing his remarks before the
House committee on labor Tuesday,
said that the exclamation of General
Sherman. "War is hell" could well be
brought up to date, so as to be, "a
strike is hell" The bishop was giving
his views on the Foss bill to create
national arbitration tribunal to settle
differences between labor and capital.
'Strikes are a great evil" the bishop
said. "The men are out for six months
or so, and when they go back to WORK
they are different men. Their children
have been taught to taunt human beings
and the moral life of their family is
ruined. "Our government," he ae-
clared, "should aim first at the good OF
human beings, before the good OF wealth
or classes" He sounded a warning 10
the laboring masses that unless the
"warfare" of labor should lessen, pub
lie opinion would turn away from organ
lied labor. He quoted John Mitchell
as saying that without the aid OF public
opinion, organized labor would disln-
tegrate. He said that the right Of labor
to organize or to strike should not be
denied. but that continued strikes were
demoralizing and fail to attain the de-
sired ends. Some of the large unions,
Bishop Spalding charged, forced strikes
in order to maintain their prestige. The
tribunal authorized by the bill, in his
opinion, would loom up before the whole
nation, and would little by little win
the way to public favor. 1t would be
"a school in public opinion" he said,
and would educate capital and labor TO
agree among themselves and "settle
their differences as wise men and not
as FOOLS

GAMBLING AND EMBEZzLEMENT

Generally speaking, the embezzler
has a gambling game to lay it to. If
he is a fugitive broker or bank official
or fiduciary agent of any kind, the
chances are that his trouble dates from
a flyer in the stockmarket. An en-
bezzling clerk or official is likely to
have played the races; and of the small
fry of embezzlers there are few that
did not take the poker route. 1t was
said the other day that the relation
borne by the Bungalow poker games
and free gin treats of two or three
years ago to the defaications that
followed among officials who frequent
ed the evil place. was more than a
| coincidence. Whether the charge is
| true or not it shows how closely the
idea of gambling and crime is associ-
/ ated in the public mind. 1t stands for
cause and effect.
The open gambling joint is response
bic for Vivian Richardson's trouble and
of that of scores of other young men,
some of whom are now in exile. The
moment a young fellow scores a loss
at cards he starts in to get it back and
is convinced that he has the skill or
luck or system which will enable him
to win from better men at the game.
The surer he is of himself the more
likely he is to borrow from other peo-
pies funds, fully intending TO make the
deficit good; and he is stunned. when
the crash comes, to find that he is an
emoezzler' The game is a costly one
which first takes the young mans
money, then the money of his friends
OF employers, then his reputation and
then his right TO live at home. YET
such games are running and are vel
patronized, year in and year out; run.

STATUS OF The WAR.

Japanese efforts are skillfully benz
upon confusing the Russians as to tbs
plan OF invasion On one day a ire
mendous row is made at Port Arthur
then something happens at ChemulpC
or Genssn, then a small demonstration
is made near the Yalu and all of sud
den VIadivostok is awakened by naval
guns. At once comes furry of tele-
grams from Hardin or st. Petersburg
that the japanese have landed at this
or that place and Russian troops are
moved accordingly. But when the
smoke blows away, japanese troops are
not to be found there.
Baron Hayashi. in a recent interview,
limited that blow to Russian military
power would be as suddenly and de-
cisively struck as was the initial blow
to Russian naval prestige. He gave
that as the reason why the war cor
respondents are granted no clews.
AIexieff suspects, as the world does,
where the japanese objective lies, but
his puzzle is to guess the means of
approach. VIII the Japanese army
start for Mukden from Korea in over
wheIming force and capture or destroy
the railroad to Port Arthur? Or will
il do as it did in 1s94-land a few miles
from Port Arthur and attack? Or
will several armies operate at once as
they did in 1S95-one going against
vladivostok, another attacking Muk-
den and Hardin and pushing north,
third assailing Port Arthur and New
chwang, a fourth, detached from the
Territorial army occupying Saghalien?
No one knows but the Japanese so
AIexieff moves to Hardin where he can
be in touch with all the threatened
points at once, meanwhile doing his
best, not only to increase his military
strength, but to deceive the enemy as
to it's proportions.
AS to the time prospects of Japan
csc movement in force one must, in
specializing upon it. consider two
things: The incentive for the Japanese
to act soon, which comes of Russian
reenforcements; the state of the wealth
er as it may affect landing and march
ing with artillery, cavalry and stores.
To land on off-shore ice is next to I'M

of the coast of Manchuria are suitable |
