After The Fair u Over.


Monday last tells thus Of the return
Of matters and things In and about
the Union depot since the close OF
the Worlds Fair.
Twcnty-four trains have been
taken of, 230 employees have been
dismissed, the validating Office,
where Worlds Fair visitors have
identified themselves for return to
their homes on excursion tickets,
is deserted and the mammoth
waiting room, crowded for seven
months past, seems now, with its
moderate volume OF everyday
travel, like q brilliant ballroom
bcrcft Of dancers.
Out In the midway workmcn are
engaged In tearing down fences
and making changes.
The double gate system will be
abolished; tracks will be moved
back u car length to the position
they occupied previous to the
Fair--Just behind the first gates
and the second midway will ccasc
to be vexation TO travellers.
The information bureau, now
situated beneath the platform OF
stairs leading from the second
floor Of the station down into the
midway, will be moved inside and
probably located In portion Of
the ticket Office, In the northeast
corner Of Union Station.
BY Jan. 1. Assistant Supcrin-
tcndcnt j. j. Coaklcy says, all
changes will have been made and
Union Station will be restored to
Its former condition.

ritd out brilliantly during the night
OF Nov. 10. by the second brigade Of
the 35th infantry division. The village
had been captured the same morning
by the japanese. AT nightfall the brig
ade silently marched out and deplOyed.
Four battdlions were detached for the
attack and several companies Of rifle
men We're ordered TO move to the right,
left and rear of the village. The men
were told not to fire, but to charge with
the bayunet. Two bat1alions were left
in reserve with eight guns. A stimuli
tanenus advance was begun at 10
O'Clock at night. The assailants hurried
forward and encountered a deep ravine,
which they crossed. They then rushed
on the village Not a single shot was
fired. The Japanese were completely
surprised mostly sitting in the streets
and huts eating the supper.
They fled before the bayonets. So
soon as the Russians occupied the viii
lage they brought up a battery. The
Japanese tried to re-Capture the place
at break Of dawn. but We're repulsed.
The Russians. however were compelled
later to abandon icndoWuniulu. as the
retirement of the third division exposed
them to a Eank attack.

preceding October :. 1908. they were

this year show decided increase iii

Armory is practically as good as it was
two years ago. and. if the new steam

announcements it is so much the better.
Waterville is recognized as one OF the

The abuse of the Chinese imperiaI
