a vast number Of the wage earners of
the United States see the Worlds Fair,
the most glorious spectacle Of the age
and the most influential factor in the
education Of the American citizen
The bureau is in charge Of Miss Ger

tons welfare department, of which
Mr.. II. H. Vreeland, head Of the street
railway system of New York city, is
chairman. The bureau headquarters is
in the east end Of the Palace of Trans

position management is in hearty ac-
cord with this movement on the part
of the Federation to induce the large
manufacturers and other employers of
labor to provide ways and means for
the wage earners Of America to visit
the Exposition. President Francis is
n q I'll ;y,fo ~,
dertaking by affording the Federation
every facility for the consummation of
it's efforts, and in this connection he
has directed Theodore Hardee, assist
ant to the secretary, to cooperate with
Miss Beeks and Ralph M. Easley,
chairman Of the Federation's executive
council, in every possible way.
The Exposition management has also
equipped this bureau with clerical as
sistance and full supply of Worlds

used as headquarters for all wage earn
ers coming to the Exposition under it's
auspices. The aim of the Federation is
to make it feasible for the largest pos
sible proportion of wage earners to Wis
it st. Louis and see the Worlds Fair.
It will see that they are met at the de-
pot by responsible persons and con
Quoted to suitable lodgings, where they
will be treated fairly.
There will also be furnished, free Of
charge, appropriate itineraries indicat-
ing the points of interest to be seen
within limit of one week, which is
about the average time each party will
spend here. 1t will also indicate the
objects of special interest to various
craftsmen in their particular lines. so
that they may devote as much time
as possible to the objects of peculiar
interest to them. These and many 9TH
er efforts will be made to help all wage
earners to enjoy the benefits of this
great Exposition comfortably and at an
expense within their means

Cause of LockiaW.

LockjaW, or tetanus, is caused
by bacillus or germ which ex-
lists plentifully in street dirt. It
is inactive so long as exposed to
the air, but when carried beneath
the skin, as in the wounds caused
by percussion caps or by rusty
nails, and when the air is ex-
Guided the germ is reused to &C
tivity and produces the most vir-
ulent poison known. These
germs may be destroyed and all
danger of lockjaw avoided by APP
plying Cham berlain's Pain Balm
freely as soon as the injury
is received. Pain Balm is an
antiseptic and causes cuts,
bruises and like injuries to heal
without maturation and in one
third the time required by the
usual treatment. Sold by Bar

ENGAGEMENT.

Toxic, Aug. 21.--The Japanese pro-
tected cruiser Tsushima alone defeat.
ed the Russian cruiser Novik. The
first engagement occurred Saturday
Aug. 90. and the Japanese protected
cruiser Chitose finished the destruc'
tion of the Russian ship on Sunday.
The details of the engagement
reached the navy department here dur
ing the day. AT dawn of Saturday the
Chitose arrived at point twenty
miles northwest of Rebunshiri island
and proceeded to search the Soya LA
Perouse) strait The weather was
heavy aud the Novik was not discov'
cred. At 8 o'clock Saturday morning
the Chitose and the Tsushima met
close to Rebunshiri island. The Tsu'
shima had previously been searching
to the westward. After the meeting
of the two Japanese cruisers the Chi.
tose took UP a line extending from
Soya point to Cape Shiretoko and the
Tsushima was dispatched toward Kor-
sakovsk.
The Tsushima found the Novik of
Korsakovsk harbor at 4:30 o'clock in
the afternoon. She Immediately sig
nailed her discovery To the Chitose by
wireless telegraph and at once at
tackled the enemy. The Novik was
hit frequently by the fire from the
Japanese cruiser and at s 40 she
Retreated to the Inner Anchorage
at Korsakovsk. She was then enyel
oped in white smoke and evidently on
fire. The TSushima had received pro
jectiles through bunlxors Numbers
and She was leaking badly and
listing and was forced to withdraw out
of the range of the Novik's guns foI
temporary repairs. These were effect
ed that evening.
The Chitose joined the Tsushima
after sundown of Saturday. The Tsu-
shima was sent to guard the strait and
the Chitose watched Korsakovsk har-
Dor.
At dawn of Sunday the Chitose ad-
vanced to the Korsakovsk anchorage
and discovered that the Novik had
been beached close to the town and
that the crew of the Russian vessel
appeared to be disembarking. The
Chitose shelled the Novik from 6.25
until TIA. The hull of the Novik was
concealed behind clouds of black
smoke and thus made sighting by the
Japanese gunners most difficult.
After shelling her the Chitose
steamed to within $500 yards to OBJ
serve the Novik. She saw that the
Russian cruiser had been partially
sunk. She had bad list to the star.
board and her side lights and lower
deck were under water Her hull was
seriously damaged.
The Chitose satisfied herself that
the Novik had been destroyed and
steamed away.
The Tsushima has been repaired
and is again in fighting trim. The Jap.
anese sustained no casualties in this
engagement.
