Beware Of Thy Tongue.

The following gem from one of our
exchanges should be cut out and pasted
in every mans hat as a reminder of his
duty when he speaks Ill of any woman;
Beware how you speak of woman's
character. Think how many years she
has been building it, OF the tolls and
privations endured. OF the wounds re-
ceived, and let no suspicious follow her
actions. The purity OF woman is the
salvation of the race, the hope of fu-
ture greatness and the redemption of
man. Without her purity man sinks
beneath Nhe wave of despair with not
q star to guide his life into channel
Of safety. Think, then, before you
speak. and remember that any hog can
root up the fairest flower that ever
grew; SO the vilest man can ruin the
purest character"

THE BREAK BETWEEN
ALEX|EFF AND
KUR0PATK|N
Has Reached the Stage
of Acuteness.
THE FORMER BLAMED

Paris, May 1S.-The St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Temps wires that
the conflict Of authority between Vice
roy Alexieff and General Kuropatkin
is acute. The general attributes the
Russian defeat on the Yarl to the vi
ceroys orders countermanding his in
structions previously given.
According to the Temps dispatch,
General Kuropatkin now proposes the
abandonment of Port Arthur, the juno
ton of its forces with his army and the
retirement of the united forces to Har-
bin. He maintains that the present
Russian force is not sufficient to cope
with the Japanese.
Viceroy Alexieff holds this course to
be folly, as the abandonment of Port
Arthur would mean the loss of the
fleet, the suffering of a moral defeat
and the risk of the determination of
the Port Arthur force while seeking
TO make a junction with General Ku-
ropatkin.
The emperor's encourage, II is add
ed, is inclined to support Alexieff.

Win Out in Antitrust Suits In
Texas.
Austin, Texas, May 17.--District
Judge Brooks, this evening sustained
the demurrers Of the defendants in the
state antitrust suit against the Amer
ican Express company and the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas railway. The
state alleged that exclusive contracts
existed between the railway and four
express companies doing business in
Texas. The penalties under the law
amounted to $8,000,000. In sustaining
the demurrer the court ruled that the
antitrust statute did not contemplate
contracts of this character. This
stops all the cases against the express
companies and will also effect the
suits filed by the attorney general to
cancel express companies permits on
account Of alleged exclusive contracts.
