Good Pavements.
ne ST. Louis RenIhlic.

From the st. Louis Republic.
There are many advantages which the
smooth. comparatively poseless and clean
pavements have. Appearance comfort,
serviceableness, lack of noise, easy mainte-
nance and cleanliness are a few. With
these pavements four provisions are partic
ularly necessary-the foundation must be
good, the material must be good the con-
structiOn must be well done and the pave
ments must be maintained in condition.

Forbearance.

ST PETERSBURG, August 6, TAO AIM
The satisfaction of the Russian authorities
at the forbearance Of the United States
government in connection with tho neutral
commerce situation is echoed in an edi-
torfal In the Novoe Vremya this morning.
which says the United States Is naturally
much interested in the declaration that
foodstuffs are contraband, and points out
that rice was made contraband during the
Franco-Chfnese war. The paper says it is
extremely difficult to draw the line. once
the prohibition of war food supplies is
preached but it expresses the hope that it
viii be possible. even in the face Of the
dihiculties existing. that some way may
be found Of meeting the wishes of the
United States In this direction.
Ports Closed to Foreign Commerce.
The closing to foreign vessels, except I'M
der stringent regulations, of the ports of
Cronstadt, Sveaborg, Libau. Sebastopol,
Batoum and Otsshakoff is the subject of
Messenger this morning. The regulations
are apparently directed mainly toward the
protection of foreign shipping. probably in
connection with the increase of defenses
at the ports already mentioned in the AS
ISOLATED Press dispatches. The regula-
tfonS. however, are extremely rigid, and
extend to the right of search by the port
authorities of all vessels before permits
sion to enter the port is granted. Vessels
unwilling to comply with the regulations
will be warned off the adjacent coasts.
Copies of the regulations will be forward
ed foreign governments.

The admiralty has confirmation of a
report received here from Yokohama of a
Russian cruiser stopping merchantmen off
the Kuriles, a group of islands belonging
to Japan in the north Pacific. No warship
has been sent north. The Russian protected
cruiser Bogatyr is still undergoing repairs

vostok squadron are believed to be still at
Vladivostok.
Adjudged a Lawful Prize.
vLADIVOSTOK. August 6-The prize
court yesterday adjudged the sunken
steamer Knight Commander and it's cargo
a lawful prize. The trial of the case and
an investigation of the steamers papers,
etc. established the fact that the cargo,
consisting principally of railway material
was consigned through a Japanese port to
Chemulpo, leading fairly to the inference
that it was designed for use the mill
tary railway under construction from
Seoul to the Yalu.

notification to the porte of the impending

accompanied by assurances that the YES

municated verbally by the Russian ambas-
sador here, NJ. Zinovieff to the Turkish
government and by Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff to the Ottoman amba ssador at

of sloping lawn, facing the broad
teaches of the beautiful sound, where
the novelist refreshes himself with
his favorite sport, fishing. His den
is not in the house, but is a separate
square-built structure on the rocky
edge of the water, and when the tide
is high it is half boat, half house, for
the waves come up under il in sort
Of tunnel built directly beneath

DR.. Bachelor has been working hard
far into the night he goes to sleep
in the study, with the tapping of the
water all around and under him. 1t
is an ideal den for a literary man
who is also fisherman and loves the
water.

KAISER TO REWARD HEROISM
Cable for Names Of Women Who
Showed Bravery in Disaster.

The German emperor has deter
mined to confer decorations on those
who risked their lives in saving pass
engers on the Inflated steamboat Gen
eral Siocum recently burned in the
river at New York. AS the former
ruler of many who lost their lives on
the vessel he has instructed Consul
General BueneZ to procure for him
list of names OF those whose rescues
were distinguished by heroism. 1t
was he who first cabled for list of
the dead, which was promptly sent.
While this list was being prepared
however, another request was re-
ceived for the names OF the bravest
three women nurses. This Consul
General Buenez submitted to Health
Commissioner Darlington, who is now
engaged in the delicate task of pick
ing these from among the many wom-
en- who did noble service on that &C.

Bio Men Of indian Territory.

One OF the delegates sent by In

tional convention was C. A, Skeen,
who stands feet inches in his stock

stature Mr.. Skeen is most vera
cious gentleman, it would appear, said
in an interview: 81 am sorry that
none OF the big men of the territory
was able to attend this convention.
They were all busy and so they said
that the little fellows, who are not
so much use at work, must come
along. Some Of the men in the terri
tory are so big that they are not able
to travel. The car seats and the hotel
beds are all too small for them, So
they stay at home. But that is no
hardship for a man who lives in In

suffering from this mania. She
would be liable to do everything that
she did and still be in a state Of
acute anameia.
The fact that she was shrieking
and screaming in the well and that
she fought her husband and those
who came to her assistance is indi-
cation that her mind was deranged.
The acute congestion of the lungs
that was the cause of her death was
brought about by exposure in the wa
ter and the strain upon her lungs by
her shrieks and screams. Her refer
ence in her delrium to monsters and
men who had carried her away was
additional evidence of her mental
condition.
IF there had been a robbery or
an attempt at assault there would
have been some evidence of 1t. There
Is no such evidence. She was not
the victim of foul play, but of a sud
den attack OF insanity"

MURDERED ROMAN

William Lockridge, another suspect
of completely in the murder OF Mrs
William Starbuck and her child, near
Greensboro, Ind, is under arrest
Lockridge is held on circumstantlal
evidence that tends to show that he
was more or less intimate with Haley
Gipe, who is also under arrest in con
rection with the crime, in other al
fairs and that since the crime his &C
tons have been more or less sus-
picious.
The coroner is undecided as to
Mrs. Starbuck's death and is inclined
TO doubt foul play. DR.. b. Smith
says Mrs. Starbuck's death was not
the result of crime. He was her ply
siciau. She was Of highly nervous or
ganization.
He says Her death was caused
by acute congestion OF the lungs,
following an attack of acute pneu-
monia. I have had in my practice
numbers of cases OF this kind. In
this particular case Mrs. Starbuck
was the mother OF 16-weeks-old
baby am told that on Saturday she
worked very hard and was exposed
to heat from a stove over which she
was cooking.
My opinion Is that she was sud
denly stricken with this mania and
imagined she saw someone coming in
the window, seized her baby and ran
to the well, not to kill herself, but
to protect herself and babe from the
monster she spoke of in her delrium.
She was liable to go to the telephone

SAID CABLE WOULDN'T SINK.
Many Persons Thought Water Was
Too Dense.

Many Persons Thought Water Was
Too Dense.
When II was first proposed to lay a
marine cable many intelligent people
said 1t would not sink to the bottom,
but would remain suspended at GER
tain depth because of the density OF
the water due to pressure from above.
OF course the pressure increases with
the depth on all sides OF the cable in
its descent through the sea, but as
practically everything on earth is
more compressible than water 1t
is obvious that the iron wire.
yarn, gutta-percha and copper con-
ductor forming the cable must be
more compressed as they descend.
Thus the cable constantly increases
in density, or specific gravity, in 60.
ing down, while the equal bulk OF wa.
ter surrounding It continues to have.
practically speaking, veiy nearly the
same specific gravity as at the sur
face. Without this valuable property
Of water the hydraulic press would
not exist.
