the woods she added other exercises.
Hunting and fishing and occasionally
chopping down trees grew to be her
favorite pastimes, and as skirts were
hampering in all of these pursuits sh =
discarded them and substituted neat
masculine costume of sweater and golf
trousers with high boots.
That Miss Whitmore's plan has sue
cessfully held consumption at bay and
restored the invalid to robust health
is attested by the fact that she ha ;
increased in weight from los pounds
to 1873 pounds. and that she is firm of
flesh and hard -muscled.
Notwithstanding the latter fact and
that the plucky young woman is now
past all danger of the fatal malady,
she refuses to go back to her southern
home. She has become so fond of her
free life in the woods that she says
she intends to spend the summer here,
camping out and "roughing it," 1t is
her pride that all the frewood burned
in the camp is felled and chopped by
her AK, and old lumbermen who have
seen her at her work say she handles
the AK like veteran wood chopper.
The Whitmore party have pitched
their tent in one of the prettiest little
coves in the Olympics, high up in the
mountains. and the strenuous young
lady in the golf costume rarely comes
out of the woods except to get her
mail from the stage driver.

The skillful, scientific war, pressed
vigorously on both sea and land by
the japanese, still continues. AT first
it was enterprise and dash, but since
it will generally be admitted that il
has been well-planned, well-conducted
offensive campaign.
The secrecy and celebrity of the jap

heroic encounters, sharp skirmishes

Port Arthur being located on an ex-
tended arm of a mountainous penin-
sula, was never any great advantage
to the Russian empire, but rather a
position difficult to maintain. Its prin-
cipal advantages were it's land,locked,
safe harbor. A port contiguous to the
main land in the vicinity of Vladivos-
tok or New Chwang would be far more
easily defended.
At present the. Russian forces are
much divided on the outer circle of the
horseshoe. Their objective is not any
one of the threatened positions, hut
is the Japanese army occupying the
Ialu valley. Until General Kuroki's
army is dislodged, destroyed or captur-
ed. the Russian position will still be
embarrassing.

when fairly aroused the fury of their
retaliation was destructive to the am-
hilton of the great Corsican, as well as
the sacrifice of the hundreds of thou
sands of lives.
Their tenacity in the Crimea was
most expensive and exhausting to the
three great powers that were contend

ST. LOUIS, June 30.--Judging from
past performances, Tom Kiely, the
great Irish atlete, has an even chance
to win the all-round championship
of the world during the Olympian all
round championship on July 4.
Kiely arrived in New York June
3. He came to this country for the
purpose of capturing the blue ribbon
of the athletic world. He has appeared
in one or two games in the east, and,
while admittedly refraining from exert
ing himself, he gave the impression of
being a dangerous man.
In appearance Kelly is the ideal
athlete; tall and slender, broad OF
shoulders, small WASTED and lean of

inclined to be critical.
Next week, after the boys have all
got settled, one evening will be given

Alliance in this city. An item was pub

STUDIES CULTURE OF
RUBBER TREES ABROAD
III. c. Pearson. a Recognized Author
ity. Returns From Plantations OF
CeylOn and Straits Settlement.

Henry c. Pearson, editor and pub
Usher of the India Rubber World Of
New York. is at the Palace, having
just returned from the island of Cey-
lon and the Straits Settlement, where
he inspected the comparatively new
rubber industries of those countries.
Discussing his trip yesterday Mr..
Pearson said he was much impressed
with the development Of rubber cul-
tUre there.
In Ceylon." said he, "the coffee bug
has played havoc with the coffee plan
tations, and many of the planters. as
we'll as tea men, have gone into the
rubber industry with considerable sue
cess. The industry is still very young
there, but the quality of rubber being
produced is of a high quality. The
export of the product last year was
about 10000 pounds and the bulk Of
il went TO the Liverpool market"
Editor Pearson is regarded as one
of the highest authorities on rubber
in this country. Last year he in
spected the rubber plantations of Mex
leo and through his paper he has fur
nished the American people much val
liable information regarding the pro-
duct and the development of the in
dustry in various parts of the world.
He is now en- route to New York.
