When the hair was pushed back
from his face broad intelligent fere-
head was exposed. Had those fisher
men been able TO read chronological
signs they would have discovered that
the aged man before them was no or

general appearance indicated that he
had followed one OF the professions.
In the meantime the village physi-
clan arrived and aided in resuscitating
the old man. The child gradually
passed away TO sleep after its wants
were satisfied and slept as soundly as
if its own mother still lowered over it.
1t was soft sweet sleep such only as
is seen in the repose of the innocent
before the trials and tribulations of
life have come to their knowledge.

''Such dainty little limbs" said the

OF superiority.
The child did not exceed one month
in age. 1t was probably younger. Its
light hair, fair skin and pretty blue
eyes even at so young an age showed
that it was born beauty. Still its
features were much like those Of the
Finlanders, so many of whom had set
tied along the Columbia in the fishing
districts.

said one OF the women in a whisper
who had been watching the men work
with the aged sufferer.
''0h, such a pity" remarked the
women in subdued chorus.
"We will never learn the child's
name or anything about the tate Of its

CHAPTER ".
Odd Companions.

After releasing the old man and the
child from their ENHANCEMENT they
were carried to the nearest fisherman e
cabin. The man, though dashed to the
spar and pinioned to the earth by the
driftwood was held no closer than was
the babe. His arms held it like a
wise. They had been so long about it
that they had formed like clasps
around the body and, benumbed by
the cold, they were as difficult to pry
apart as are the cieepers which hold a
vine in its upward climb.
Young as it was, only a few weeks
old, the infant possessed more vitality
than did lite aged protector. 1t
stretched forth its little hands and legs
with surprising strength and cried pitt

that its lungs were still strong and
healthy.
But the old nan scarcely breathed.
He opened his dull eyes for a moment
and stared blankly into the faces OF
those directly in the line of his Wis

OF all that was going on
about him. His long gray hair hung
in strands about his face and neck.
His silken gray beard was matted with
the sand and trash Of the beach. But
for the slow pulsation of his heart he
would have been pronounced dead by
thoee around him.

Provided, that such power to punish contempts shall not be construed to extend to any cases except the misbehayior of any person in their presence. or so near thereto as to obstruct the administration Of justice; the misbehavior of any of the officers of said courts in their off, cial transactions; and the diSobedience or resistance of any such officer or by any party, juror, witness or other per son to any lawful writ, process, rule decree or command of the said courts"
 Judge Purnell had contended that the sharp newspaper criticism of the acts of the court had tended to the obstruc- tion of justice. Judge Pritchard said he had carefully considered the above section of the statutes, 'sand I fail to find anything in it to warrant the ac- ton of the distinguished judge of the district" He would at a later time prepare an opinion and discuss the matter at length.
 It would seem that Judge Purnell had allowed his personal feelings to get the better of 4ais judgment in this case. If criticism. however severe, of judicial opinion or decree is open to the construction of contempt, as being an obstruction of justice, then, Of course, all adverse comment on judi cial acts is at an end, and the courts have placed themselves i'll a position of tyrannical immunity from those in- fiuences of public opinion to which all other agencies of government are sub- ject. It is one thing for a newspaper, during the pendency of a case, to seek to overawe the court and dictate it's Judgment It is quite another thing to deny the right of an individual or a newspaper to criticize aversely judgment after it has been rendered. That Justice Pritchard will be sustain ed by the great majority of his fellow judges in making short work of this absurd and highly dangerous exten- sion of meaning of contempt and the power to punish is not to be question ed.-Springfield Republican.

WHAT GRAY SQUIRRELS EAT.

It has been well said that the gray squirrels one sees everywhere in some of our New England towns are an in- dication of higher civilization. It is certainly a pleasure to see these graceful creatures running across troll ley tracks or over lawns unmolested. A stranger would have very high estimate of the people of a city that could draw to it these shy animals. Like many rodents, however, gray squirrels will eat meat on occasions They will even rob birds nests. A friend on whom I can rely told me of two or three instances ln Arlington, Mass, where gray squirrels had rob- bed robins nests, having been caugnl in the very act. The other day, ln going along wild moutain stream, ] was attracted by fresh gray squirrel track, and on following it, found where the squirrel had killed and eaten a mouse He had evidently dug out the mouse, for I saw where he had dug snow and leaves away from the roots of some black alders to some depth. Then taking the mouse in his teeth. he had run a few feet to a knoll, the mouse's tail having left it's print in the snow between the tracks of the squirrel, and eaten it, leaving blood, hair and pieces of bone to tell of the feast One time gave young woodchuck to an old Irishman, who fed the chuck on ham. Now if 8 woodchuck would eat ham, why not a gray squirrel eat mice or young birds We have abundant proof that many flesh eaters will. on occasions, eat vegetable food as well as rodents eat ing flesh Lovers of both squirrels and birds may find it possible in some ! way to protect the nests of thrushes. | warbIers, etc.-Outing.

Deported Miner. Returned.

ANTONITO. Colo, June 16.- Thirty six union miners and sympathizers de- ported from the Cripple Creek district were unloaded from the special train used near the New Mexico line and were driven by the guard, under com mand of Lieutenant Colonel Kennedy, over the border. They were warned not to return to Colorado. Neverthe- less, after the departure of the troops the deported men walked back to this town, five miles north of the line, where a meal was furnished them by citizens. One of the miners was too sick to walk, and wagon was sent for him.

NEWSPAPER CRITICISM
 OF THE COURTS

Something has been done the past week in North Carolina toward def1n- ing the status of newspaper criticism as against the power of tile courts to punish for contempt. That state owns most of the stock of the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad. About a week ago, in an action brought by private minority stockholders. Judge Thomas R. Purnell of the United States district court Appointed temporary receivers for the road, which has not been paying dividends of late, and is in the way ot Z being leased This action of Judge Purnell aroused much antagonistic feeling in state official circles, and, on application to Chief Justice Fuller, sit tnig as judge of the circuit court of . appeals for that district, an order was issued by him suspending the operation Of Judge Purnelrs order until the fur ther action of the circuit court. The ; receivers hesitated about relinquishing possession of the road, Whereupon Gov eTnOr Aycock of North Carolina or dered the state superintendent of the property to call upon the sheriff and the military if necessary to depose the ! receivers. The latter then threw up their hands.
 Meantime the Raleigh News and Ob- server had printed an editorial severe ly criticising the action of Judge Pur- nell in appointing the receivers, where upon the judge had Josephus Daniels. the editor, brought before the court and fined him $2.OO0 for contempt, also denying to him the right to appeal. Daniels refused to pay, and was accord ingly committed to jail The editors ! friends then went before Judge J. O. Pritchard of the circuit court of ap- peals for writ of habeas corpus which was granted, and after hearing last Friday Daniels was set at liberty.
 The case for and against the editor : turned on section 725 of the revised statutes, which provides

BATTLE OF FUCHAU
Japanese Gain Great Victory
 North of Port Arthur.
RUSSIANS LOST ONE THOUSAND MEN
Tokyo Dispatch Tells of Big Tight on RRi1wny--Enemy Left All Their Field Guns and Arc I'm
 Full Flight.

LONDON, June 16.-A dispatch from Tokyo says news has been received there, but has not yet been officially published, of great Japanese victory near Fuchau, on the railway seventy miles north of Port Arthur. The Rus sians were overwhelmed, lost thou sand men, left all their guns on the field and retreateu in disorder.
 The Russians, to the number of 1000 men, are now in full flight toward Tshichatao and Kaiochau.
 Semiofdcial advices just received from Tokyo say that a dotiIla of tor pedo boats and torpedo boat destroy CTS, under the command of Captain Tsuchiya and cooperating with the army, made a reconnaissance in force near Siaoping island, twelve miles to the west of Port Arthur, and bom- barded the Russian outposts on the coast to the west 04 the island. At noon the Russian cruiser Novik, con voying torpedo boat destroyers, steam ed out from Port Arthur The Russian shore batteries protected these vessels with a heavy cannonade. The Japa- nese fotilla retreated slowly, firing as 1t went for the purpose of decoying the enemy to sea. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the Russian ships returned to the entrance of Port Arthur.
 The Japanese artillery fire was well directed, but the Russians suffered more from the fire of the Japanese gUnboats. When the Russian merchant from whom these details were obtained left Port Arthur the Japanese were within twelve miles of that place. The Russians have trenches and earth works at intervals of two miles throughout this distance.
 The Japanese fleet is no longer able to support the army, the water along the coast being too shallow to permit the vessels to approach.
 The Vladivostok squadron is reported in the Korean strait Reports of can nonading have been received here from various points, such as Chikuzen province. Olxi island and Tsushfma
 It is reported that the Japanese pro- tected cruiser Niitaka engaged the Russian squadron off Tsu island, in the strait between Korea and Japan.
 The fact that the Novik came out of Port Arthur makes it certain that the Russians have succeeded in blasting a channel through the cement laden mer- chantmen sunksby the Japanese in the entrance to the harbor.
 A Liaoyang report says:
 "TKe battle at Yafangow has been renewed, with fierce fighting on both sides. It is said that the Russians were partly successful, destroying three squadrons of cavalry and mak- ing prisoners of sixty Japanese. The Russian casualties i'll a former fight were 3O6 men killed or wounded. The Japanese casualties are not known"

Negro Rioters at Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.. June 16.-A riot broke out at the plant of the Conti- mental Tobacco company here when 200 stalking negro men attempted to prevent 300 negro women employed at the plant from going to work. Police, commanded by Chief Gunther, quelled the mob, but were compelled to resort to the use of clubs and revolvers. For a time it looked as if serious results would follow, but the negro men were finally driven away, and the plant was surrounded by squad of police. Five rioters were arrested.
