Cut Glass
and China

TO give the Thanksgiving and
Christmas dinner table a tone.
Ny stock of cut glass is not
only the most complete, but the
very finest glass / can buy. There
is a difference in diamonds
there is a difference in cut glass.
People who know good glass from
poor will have none but the best.
Cheap glass, although it may be
of same size and the cutting look
like that of higher priced arti-
Gle, is made from poorer quality
of glass, which is often times sim
ply pressed glass polished to give
it the appearance of being cut
from a blank. I handle nothing
but American stock, buy direct
from the factory-not from job
bers-hence I know that my glass
is right.
TO those whose first wish is
quality, not quantity and cheap
ness, I invite to inspect my stock
of fine American cut glass.
My line of hand-painted china
will be complete about December
l. Wait for it.

AS good cake can be made only with
good eggs, so also cake that is health
full as well as dainty must be raised with
pure and perfect baking powder.
Royal Baking Powder is indispensable
in the preparation Of the highest quality
Of food. 1t imparts that peculiar light
ness, sweetness and flavor noticed in the
finest cake, biscuit, doughnuts, crusts, etc.,
and what is more important, renders the

Pip's vision of Miss Havisham hanging

Oysters.

As a matter of interest there is but
one species of oyster. Gstrea virginia.,
along the eastern coast Of North Amer
lea. The western coast has at least five
species, but only two Of these are of
Importance. and these do not compare
with the eastern shellhsA. TINS it is
apparent that a Blue Point, u Provi-
dence river and q Chesapeake bay oys-
ter are one and the same thing SO far as
species is concerned. The difference is
merely in food supply and conditions in
growth
The oyster is rich in phosphates, but
is almost entirely lacking in fat max
ing, muscle building material and those
elements which go to make up physical
force and vitality. While it is whole
some and easily assimilated. the actual
food value of the oyster is not sufficient
to rank it with our great food fishes
the cod, haddock, mackerel etc.-Good

WENT TO THE BOTTOM
PGciffc Coast Steamer Goes Down
With All on Board.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 1.-THE steam
er Clallam, from Victoria to Seattle,
was sunk in a heavy storm near Port
Townsend in the strait of Fuca. 1t is
now reported here that siXty-five per-
sons lost their lives. The first report
said that fifty had been drowned. This
was soon followed by another from
steamship Offices that twenty-five were
lost. Now, however, the number of
dead is estimated at sixty-fve, al
though conservative persons believe
the full details viii reveal about fifty
dead. The steamer, disabled by the
fierce storm, was in tow of the tug
Holyoke when it went down. This tug
saved all that it could in the wild gale
which was blowing.
Owing to the high southwesterly
gale and heavy sea the Clallam became
unmanageable when off Discovery Is
land. Heavy seas broke the lights
and the vessel began to fill. All the
women passengers were placed in
three boats, which capsized alongside
and q were lost The bodies of sew
eral persons have been recovered.
Some of the bodies hive been recog-
nized, while others have as yet not
been identified.

Early Collision Not Likely.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 1.-THE most
reliable news received here is that the
mass of Russian TROOPS in the far East
are collected at Vladiyostock or on the
northern frontier of Korea. A trav-
eler who has lately returned from the
far East estimates that between 100,-
coo and 200, 900 soldiers were in the
vicinity of Vladivostock. He surmised
that the Russians will occupy northern
Korea, but that the possible collision
was not imminent for month or more
when taking into consideration dis
tanccs and the difficulties Of marching.

London, Jan. lit is learned on
the highest authority that it has been
decided in the event of war between
Russia and Japan that Germany will
maintain q strict neutrality and that
other members of the dreibund will
observe similar attitude.
The Importance of this decision,
which it is understood will almost i'm
mediately be announced in some Off
cial manner in Berlin, cannot be easily
overestimated. It will in a measure
insure that hostilities will be confined
to the two powers concerned, and it
will be certain to give great stimu-
lus to the efforts which France and
Great Britain are making in ST. Peters
burg and Toxic respectively in favor
of peace.
