CRUISER NOVlK HAS
SAILED OUT OF PORT

Chicago, June ia special to the
Daily News from Che Foo says:
According to the captain of one of
the Japanese cruisers blockading Port
Arthur, the Russian cruiser Novik has
been out of the harbor on several oc-
casions hunting Japanese destroyers.
The captain thought that the obstrdc-
tons at the mouth of the harbor pre-
vented the exit of the larger Russian
vessels.
According to the correspondent, the
Russians have three submarine boats
which have presumably been put to-
gether at Port Arthur since the begin
ming of the war.

RUM0RS PERSISTENT
OF A FIGHT AT SEA.

st. Petersburg, June 10, Sis p. M
The Russian consul at Che Foo reports
the persistence of rumors there of a
sea fight near Port Arthur. His report
is on a line with previous reports to
the effect that two Russian and four
Japanese ships have been lost. The
ultimate result of the fight is not stat
ed.
AS there is no confirmation of the
report from any other source the au-
thorities express doubt as to it's ac-
curacy.

MARK TWAIN WRITES
To President Francis of the ST. Louis
Exposition.


st. Louis, June 13.-A letter from
Samuel L. Clemens mark Twain)
written prior to his wife's death, wa.
received by President Francis of the
Worlds Fair to-day. In part it fol-
lows:
villa Di Quarto, Firenze, May 26
1904.-Dear Governor Francis: 1t has
been dear wish of my life to exhibit
myself at the great fair and get a prize,
but circumstances beyond my control
have interfered. and must remain in
Florence. Although have never taken
prizes anywhere else, l used to take
them in school in Missouri half a CEN
fury ago, and l ought to be able to re-
peat now, If / could have chance. 1
used to get the medal for good spelling
every week, and 1 could have had the
medal for good conduct IL there had
not been 50 much corruption in Mis-
souri, in those days; still got ii several
times by trading medals and giving
boot. l am willing to give boot now,
if-however, those days are forever
gone by, in Missouri and perhaps 1t is
better so. Nothing ever stays the way
it was, in this changeable world.
Although l cannot be at the fair
l am going to be represented there,
anyway, by a portrait by Prof. Cell.
You will find it excellent. Good judges
say it is better than the original. They
say it has all the merits of the original
and keeps still, besides. 1t sounds like
fiattery, but it is just true.
II suppose you will get a prize be-
cause you have created the most prodi-
gious and in all ways, the most won
derful fair the planet has ever seen.
Very well, you have indeed. earned 1t,
and with II the gratitude OF the state
and nation.
Sincerely yours,
mark Twain"

The DeIinhfa of Nudlty.

I cling to that perhaps fanciful theo-
ry that no primitive instinct OF man Is
altogether lost. 1t is modified, ampli-
fed. refined; that Is all. With all our
culture we are barbarians still. Man
is a clothed savage. And now and
again he delights In doffing the cloth
ing and returning heartily to savagery.
How delightful the feel Of the briny
breeze and the boisterous wave OH the
bare pelt! Mr.. Edward Carpenter
rails at the, think. eleven layers or
clothing that intervene between our
skins and the airs Of heaven. Walt
Whitman reveled in bis nude sun bath.
What a treat, too, sometimes to get
away from the multicoursed dinner
and to bite downright audibly into
simple food In the fresh air and to lap
water noisily from the brook! Well.
walking perhaps Is the primal In
stinct, ancient as Eden, where the Lord
God walked In the garden in the cool
of the day. And II my theory Is cor
rect walking will persist till In recov-
cred paradise man walks with his
Maker again. No mechanical contriv-
ance for locomotion will extirpate the
tribe of tourists, of those who wall
from love OF walking.-Arnold Haul

LETTER WRITING.


Modern Newspaper.
The wonderful development OF the
newspaper may be looked upon as a
very potent factor in the decline OF let
ter writing as an art. The letter no
longer can be regarded as primarily
the carrier of news. The expression OF
ones opinion about great contemporary
events is indeed still left to the letter.
but how much Of an incentive to
friendly correspondence is lost by the
fact that every part OF the world
knows Of important happenings almost
simultaneously is not to be lightly es-
timated, says Gunton's Magazine. The
stimulus to writing that comes from
having news" to impart is done away
with. and 1t Is not always that even
the gifted letter writer can afford to
lose that incitant. 1t is only the CORE
spondent par excellence who knows
how to attain the perfection Of his art
by writing delightfully."- OF nothing, II
indeed that may be called nothing
which affords him means for the en-
ployment OF his delicate perceptions.
For the saving quality Of the genuine
letter is in the ability Of Its author to
put himself into 1t. II he writes about
trivial things he does 1t with grace
of interest that disguises the triviality.
He must not make his little fishes talk
like whales, but he should, as Gold
smith himself knew how to do. make
his letters of perpetual interest be-
cause of the aptness Of their style to
the simplicity of their thought

No overproduction of Cheese.

"You might as we'll look for an over
production of children as an oyerpro-
ductioD Of cheese said U. s. Baer, sec
retary 81 the Nise3nsin Cheesemekers'
association. THE fact that we have
upward Of LOO cheese factories In
Wisconsin has raised the cry that the
business is being overdone. The people
Of this country have not yet learned to
eat cheese, but they are coming to IT.
Let me tell you the consumption per
capita in England Is nearly thirteen
pounds year, while in Wisconsin IT Is
only about three pounds year to each
person. We are away above the aver
age of the states In the consumption OF
cheese, Notwithstanding we are so far
behind the Englishmen In this respect.
There were produced in Wisconsin dur
ing the past year 100000 pounds Of
cheese, which Is more than a quarter OF
the whole amount produced In the Unit
ed States. There is no Wisconsin cheese
being exported for the simple reason
that the domestic demand takes all the
supply. y."-Milwauke Sentinel.

Native American Drugs.

An alarm which will have a novel
sound to most laymen is uttered by
On Henry Kraemer in the American
Journal Of Pharmacy. 1t is that II the
present rate of gathering native herbs
and drugs continues for ten years 1t Is
probable that our principal medicinal
plants will be we'll nigh exterminated
unless measures are taken to conserve
them.
The cutting off of the forests also en-
dangers these growths. Some OF our
we'll known plants are already nearly
exterminated. Among these are spige-
la, serpentaria, senega and cypripe'
dium.
The following classification is given:
Cultivated medicinal plants In the
United States, 100; wild indigenous or
neutralized, 178; foreign plants that
might be cultivated, Sc; foreign plants

"sALOY" MONSON'S SCALP.
How IL Was Won by "Lucky" Bald
win In q Faro Game.


During the time that gambling was
in Its glory on the Pacific coast" said
an old Californian, Lucky Baldwin
was easily the most daring chance tax
er OF all the notable argonauts. Bald
win did some amazing stunts In that
day of all day and all night drinking,
when oyermellow men, most Of them
with riches 80 suddenly acquired that
they hadn't had time to stop and figure
on how much they possessed, tried to
outvie one another In the capers they
cut with the Lady Fortune.
Zone night In the late fifties Lucky,
as he was then called, walked into the
famous old Alcatraz club on Kearney
street In San Francisco after having
been religiously stunning bis bed for
about three days and nights running
and In that shape Lucky was, In those
days, ready for anything.
"a famous dealer in the Alcatraz
club-the biggest gambling establish
ment on the coast at the time-was
Baldy' Monson, so called because his
poll was bare Of hair as pat OF butter,
except for a tiny patch that remained
right on the crown Of his head. 1t had
been q cowlick, and, with consistent
stubbornness, 1t had refused to go when
the rest Of 'Baldy's' hair had departed.
Baldwin strolled over to where
'Baldy' Monson was acting as lookout
for the faro game, preparatory to TAX
ing hold Of the box himself, and draw
ing Monson's head down Lucky began
to count the hairs that the dealer had
left on the top Of his head.
"'How many have you got leftT
Baldwin asked Of Monson.
Eighteen Of 'em an inch or more
long, the last time they were counted,
soberly replied Badly There may be
some trifling short ones besides In the
tuft, but they don't figure
Eighteen, ehT said Lucky We'll,
it's Just foolishness to be packing
around only eighteen hairs. Turn me
the king, open, for $4,000, and II I win
your eighteen hairs go with the pot
how's thatT
"'Baldy' glanced inquiringly at the
proprietor Of the club, who was stand
ing by, and his employer gave him the
nod. Monson took the dealers chair
and began the deal. The king won
down near the middle Of the box, and
the proprietor Of the club scrawled a
check for $4,000 on the Bank Of Cali
fornia and handed it over to Baldwin.
"Lucky' shipped the eighteen hairs
Off 'Baldy' Monson's head with the
razor edged blade Of his pocketknife,
had the housekeeper at his hotel tie
them up in tiny pink ribbon, with a
double bow to set them Off, and ex-
hibited the tuft in the window OF the
Bella Union, labeled Badly Monson's
Scalp." Washington Post.

Smoking In Banks.

In every bank in New York there Is
q rule against smoking, and 1t is doubt
ful IL any depositor or visitor ever saw
a coil of tobacco smoke sitting through
the atmosphere in the big counting
houses-that is, no visitor who is e1-
cluded from the building promptly
when the bank closes, But II the ,euri-
GUS could squeeze their way through
those closed portals In the afternoon
they would be treated to very differ

The rules against smoking In all the
big banks of the city apply only dur
ing banking hours. After the doors are
closed and locked one can transform
himself into a human volcano vi
