better issue than the trusts. Re
publican platforms and republican

Two recent dispatches seem to
indicate that the Russians at Port
Arthur have got into a rather hys-
terical condition. 1t is said that
three Russian torpedo boats have
been sunk by FIRE from the shore
batteries under the belief that they
were japanese vessels. And in am
other dispatch it is said that FIVE
extra big" guns have been mount
ed on the forts, and that they have
been firing at every object suspect
ed Of being a part Of the enemy's
feet. it is, Of course, very dan
gerous TO shoot at suspects" YES
sells when there is a chance that
those vessels may turn out to be a
part Of your own feet. The recent
japanese attack on the Russian
squadron has apparently made the
Russians fear that any ship appear
ing on the horizon may be some
japanese man-of-war. A few DAYS
ago the world was told that the
main purpose of the Japanese in
their recent dash into Port Arthur
was to break the nerve" Of the
Russians. They appear to have
been brilliantly successfulin the ac-
complishment Of that purpose.
But the Russians are likely to
have nerve enough when it comes
to land fighting. The Cossack is
not a gentleman Of fine sensibility
OF of a high-strung, nervous organ
ization. He seems to have been in
action, with results quite satisfac-
tory to himself. Official dispatches
Iannouuce that 600 japanese landed
near Talien Wan, and that Of these
4ro were sabered by the Ccssaeks.
A large japanese force attempted to
land at Pigeon bay, west Of Port
Arthur, were repulsed, and this,

disappointments and forgot her
troubles.
But one winter there came a
scourge of diphtheria, and it sought
out and found the home of the worse
than widow, and three times in one
week a white hearse stood before her
door. Each time it bore away from
her a tiny form in a white coffin.
And then and there ended the
poor, sorrowing woman's life.
From that Oh her head never
raised itself, her eyes We're swollen
and dimmed with incessant weeping,
and she slowly sank under her tor
turing grief,
Her husband, brought to his
senses, gathered himself together
and became man once more.
But it was too late.
He lavished his love on her his
care, his attentions, but it was of no
avail. She did not want his love any
more; her heart no longer craved
him. She wanted her children-that
was all.
Soon, very soon, the pitiful end
came and she lay dying, her husband
kneeling beside her, in an agony of
self-reproach, imploring her to live
for him, not to leave him alone,
promising her that every day he
would give her two days love to
make up for his past unkindness, but
she only turned her wan face from
him. and with calm, sweet inditter-
ent smile, closed her weary eyes, ard
over her features CAME that peace
that passeth all understanding and
rest was hers.
What does it all mean.
Well, it means that despite the
poets who have sung and the writers
who have written of woman's death
less love, it can die from neglect and
once it is dead nothing on Gods
green earth can revive it.
Perhaps when the finale is differ
ent from this unhappy woman, the
husband and wife may spend their
days together happily, and he may
hatter himself that her placid con-
tent means that her love has re-
turned, but she knows better. and
only she knows how much they both
have lost.

THE SUBWAY SALOON.

Ri. Rev. Henry Goldman Potter, d.
d., LII. D., Protestant Episcopal
bishop of New York, ofiiciated at the
dedicatory services of the Subway
saloon in New York one day last
week. Commenting on the business
of this new saloon the Philadelphia
| North American says:
With the distinction given to it by
the dedication of Bishop Potter, and
the fact that his action has aroused
storm of indignant protest from
| the w. {. r. L. and many clergy
men, the Subway Tavern SDday did II
rushing business.
| The bowery saloOnkeepers who
watched their trade go by hoped to
| the contrary
/ "Well, dis is de limit" said Mike
/ Dooley, an old-timpr. what chance
] has a hard workin' man in de bust
ness when bishops and other big guys
come buttin' in and givin some other
guy hot send off with church
trimmin's?
Bet you if de bishop would give
me lift like dat, ia have de bowery
skinned to DEATH
This was really the consensus of
bowery opinion. Gloom gave way to
bitterness when it was learned that
the 'model saloon was selling
"high hats" of beer that made the
bowery big glasses look like Lillipu-
tian trities.
But there was money in it. AS
one customer said, surveying the
thirsty and curious crowd that filled
the place: yesterday it was the
doXology; now it is the dough"
Liquors gurgled, glasses clinked
and the tinkling of the cash register
proceeded merrily. The saloons
promoter says that 1t will pay per
cent dividends.
At noon free lunch of soup and
sandwiches was served, and the
place was filled by laborers.
1t was estimated that the Tavern's
business today grew tenfold. Lest
there should be any mistake, black
board hung out at the Blocker street
entrance bore this legend in large
letters:
Yes, this is the saloon dedicated
by Bishop Potter yesterday. You
are welcome"
In the first place, the fact that
pure whisky could be purchased for
Il small price tempted former patrons
of the bowery. The soda fountain
attracted the East Side girls and
young men. The soda water and ice
cream departments did rushing
business.

| Isaiah +. Cooper of the Arcadia
Jail, DeSoto county, feels better. So
ought the balance of the state.
Within a few moments of the time
selected for his death dangle at the
end of an executive rope, COOper's
life was spared, at least temporarily,
by executive clemency. The COVER
nor mercifully granted respite.
Right up to the very shadow of the
gallOws, Cooper maintained his en-
tire innocence. He may be innocent
He was certainly in the right sort of
"a sweat-bOX to eXude confession
had one been in him to eXude. No
man should ever be hung by au-
thority of the state when there is
the least doubt concerning his guilt.
After a man has been hung and his
remains properly labeled by the at
tending physician there is left little
for Tectifying possible
The action of the people
of Punta Gorda in hanging Governor
Jennings in etfigy because of eXecu-
tive clemency in granting a respite
to Cooper was disgraceful. What
the Punta Gordans wanted was ven
geance, and vengeance is not an at
tribute of the state, but of the mob.
