Odd Geographical Names.

The mountains of Kentucky afford
many queer names of streams, peaks,
towns and villages, but perhaps few
are more remarkable than Kingdom
Come and Why Not. The first of these
is the name of q stream in Leslie coun-
ty, taken from the Lords Prayer, and
is the scene Of John Fox, Jr.'s, recent
story, Little Shepherd of Kingdom
Come" The second is the name of a
small post Office in the county and
originates from the old song, "Why
Not Tonight" It is said that an in
teresting religious revival was once
held in this locality, in which this song
was sung great deal, and the people
became SO carried away with the mu-
sic that the place was ever afterward
called Why Not,

Flying-Machine Ideals,

Any one who has studied the fight Of
birds cannot fail to have noticed that
many Of them do not appear to exert a.
much energy in flying as small animal
does in running. The motor car and the
locomotive are able to run three miles
while any land animal Is only able to
run one. Why then should we not make
flying machine that will outfiy the
swiftest bird?-Sir Hiram Maxim.

NEW PROFESSION LAUNCHED
industrial Engineering" Embraces
All Manner Of Commercial
Economics.

There is new profession, reported to
have in this country and at this time
not more than half a dozen or so fol-
lowers, which might on that account be
supposed to attract ambitious young
men. 1t has dubbed itself industrial
engineering" says the New York Times
The industrial engineer is an expert in
business methods, labor saving, and es-
| pecial money saving devices, all manner
Of commercial economies, and you are
supposed to call him in as you do your
doctor or your lawyer-even, perhaps, If
you are able, keep one of him con-
stantly at your elbow, as some people
do their private particular doctors and
lawyers. II you are manufacturer, and
you find your enterprise is not produc-
ing as many dollars as your wife can
comfortably spend, you call in the in
dustrial engineer. You explain to him
oil your methods, you show him your
plant, your books, your bookkeepers all
In row on high stools. The industrial
engineer, after more or less minute in
spection, diagnoses the case. He shows
you perhaps waste in material or how
one set of books may serve where you
are keeping two, demonstrates how the
introduction of particular set Of ma
chinery would in one year save enough
to pay for it-and other things of that
kind. Presumably if you follow his sug-
gestions your wife will presently be as
.onished at the readiness with which
you give up the cash for her fallals, arts
and charities. Again, if you are start
ing a new enterprise, you do not go it
blind, but take expert industrial en-
cheering advice as to the scale which
is likely to be most profitable, as to each
means of making every edge cut, as to
a mass of details about which even
though you are a good business man
you may well be ignorant. Obviously
the industrial engineer may in both
these cases be very useful and his fee
may be large. Obviously, also, an in
dustrial engineer must be bona fide ex-
pert or something unexpected and sad
will happen. The profession, exacting
as It is, is already launched and some
have succeeded at it. There are offices
Of the kind in New York, Boston aGd
other cities, offices full of file cases
bearing on the systematizing and reor-
ganization of commercial undertakings,
as well as upon mass of things which
must be considered in order to under
stand diverse business. The industrial
engineer, it is plain, is likely to have to
consult with an infinite variety of other !
experts accountants mining engineers, !
electrical engineers, lawyers, sani-
tarfans, architects, machinists what
not.

QUIET AT THE FRONT.
Suspension of Operations South OF
Mukden Continues.

St Petersburg, Oct. 21.-The sus-
pension of operations below Mukden
continues. 1t is limited in military
circles that the next developments
should be looked for eastward. but
whether on the part OF the Japanese
or Russians is not revealed.
A dispatch from General Sakharoff
reports all quiet along the front and
that in spite of the soggy condition or
the country roads, which are described
as seas of mud, the Russian scouts
continue to show great enterprise In
examining the Japanese positions. A
detachment of 200 Cossacks recon
noitered the Japanese left southwest
ward along line extending westward
from the railroad where 1t crosses the
Schili river, through the villages OF
Paitsantai, Tadousampu and Sandepu,
the latter fifteen miles west OF the
railroad. The Japanese sentinels fired
and retired as the Cossacks rode rap
idly along the line, but near Sandepu
the Cossacks Unexpectedly ran into
good sized Japanese force, with ma
chine guns. The latter opened muir
derous fire on the Russians, killing
many horses and mcrtally wounding
Captain Turgenieff, but all the Cos
sacks succeeded in getting away Not
one was killed on the field.
No statement is made as to what is
transpiring on the Russian left.

LOCKED FOUR DAYS IN CLOSET
Terrible Experience of an Invalid New
York Woman.

New York, Oct. 21.-After a fruit
less search which began last Saturday
and had been taken up by the police of
the five boroughs of Greater New York
Mrs. Rae Singer. twenty years old, has
been found locked in closet within
less than block of her home in East
New York She had been imprisoned
four days without food or water.
While her nurse was absent for a
few moments last Saturday Mrs. Sim
ger, who had been Ill for some time,
suddenly arose, threw on wrap and
fed from the house in delirium OF
fever. Seeking refuge from imaginary
pursuers she hurried down the street,
ran into an unused building In the
rear of a mission and closed the door.
A spring lock snapped behind her and
she was prisoner.
At lucid intervals the woman
screamed and pounded on the door,
but the neighbors paid little attention
to the sounds until they had continued
intermittently four days. Then wo-
man who happened nearby discovered
the source and rescued the unfortu-
nate patient.

PHILIPPINE PROBLEMS.
Subject Discussed by Mohonk Indian
Conference.

Lake Mohonk, N. Y, Oct. 21.-The
morning session of the Mohonk Indian
conference was devoted to the consid-
GRAFTON of problems in the Philippines.
DIR. Fred w. Atkinson of the Brooklyn
Polytechnic institute, who organized
the American public school system in
the Philippines, was the first speaker.
DIR. Atkinson was followed by w. Leon
Pepperman of the bureau of insular
affairs of the war department. Briga-
dier General G. A. Goodale followed
Mr. Pepperman.
General Goodale, who was In com
mand of a regiment stationed at Jolo
for q year at the beginning of the
American occupation OF the Philip
pines, gave detailed account of his
experiences among the Moros, incmd-
ing visit at the court of the sultan
and the sultana, to whom he bore a
gift of money from the United States
government. General Goodale said he
believed that the government of the
Moros will prove to be one OF the most
difficult problems we have to fear in
the Philippines owing partly to their
Mohammedan faith and certain prac-
tices going with and sanctioned by
that form of religion, such as po-
lygamy.

WISCONSIN CONTEST CASE.
voluminous Opinion of State Supreme
Court Filled.


Madison, Wis, Oct. 21.-The long
delayed majority opinion of the SUI
preme court in the case Of the Repub-
lican contest was filed during the
morning by Judge Marshall. 1t makes
sixty typewriter pages and merely
affirms the decision made two weeks
ago, quoting authorities voluminously.
The principal interest centers in the
dissenting opinion by Chief Justice
Cassoday, which is, in substance, that
the "stalwarts' were right and the
''halfbreeds" wrong in their conten-
tion. He holds that the case comes
within the first clause of section SO,
Revised Statutes, and that the duties
of the secretary of state are minis
terial and hence subject to the control
of the court. He holds that the second
clause merely intends TO caver. cases
not mentioned in the first one and
that when there is a division in party
it should be covered by the first clause.
Where there are two statutes, the
earlier special and the later general,
the first should govern. In other words,
the official ballots should be prepared
by the secretary of state under the
first clause of the section subject to
the control of the court.

IMPLIcATES CABINET OFFICER
Alleged Canadian Ballot Box Suffer
Confesses.


Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Oct. Pip.
j. Calvin, an employment agent in the
Michigan 500. who was charged with
completely In election frauds at the re-
cent election of C. N Smith, Liberal
candidate for the Ontario legislature.
has made a confession, duplicating
among others q member of the Liberal
cabinet.
The confession, which was read in
court, described in detail the famous
trip of the steamer Minnie M. carrying
load of Americans to Michipieoten,
where the entire number was voted
in the different polling places, imper-
sonatng citizens who were on the
registration rolls but who were absent
from the district.
Calvin also alleges that representa-
tive OF the Liberal party called on him
in reference to letter written by HIM
self to a member of the cabinet de-
manding that the Liberals get him out
of the trouble into which the investi-
cation of Smiths election sad plunged
him and that this individual assured
him that the Liberals would pay the
fine imposed on him by the Canadian
court which investigated the election
frauds and get him out of trouble
This, he says, the Liberals have
failed to do and his confession fol
lowed as a result of this failure.

JAPs FILE COMPLAINT.
Russian Troops Accused of Wearing
Chinese Clothing.

Washington, Oct. 21.-As indicated
in the Toxic dispatches the Japanese
government, through Minister TAXA
hira here. has entered formal pro-
test against the use by certain bodies
of Russian troops of Chinese clothing,
the offending troops being specified In
the complaint The state department
has transmitted the Japanese protest
to Spencer Eddy, secretary of the
American embassy at st. Petersburg
and charge in the absence of Ambas-
sador Mccormick, for presentation TO
the Russian government.
1t is understood here that the chi
nese clothing was not used by the Rus
sian troops to deceive the enemy, but
simply to make good the failure of
the Russian quartermaster's depart
ment to supply much needed warm
clothing upon the sudden advent or
cold weather in Manchuria. Never
theless it is believed here that the
wearing of this Chinese clothing con-
stitutes a technical violation of the
rules of war.

MANY DEAD ON THE FIELD
RUSSIAN LOSSES IN FRONT OF
JAP LEFT ARMY ESTIMATED
AT $4,000.

With General Oku's Left Army at
the Front, Oct. 16, via Tientsin, Oct.
21.-The seven days battle north OF
Yentai was the heaviest blow struck
the Russians by the Japanese, SO far
as loss of life is concerned. The left
Japanese army during the week buried
4,l00 Russian dead left in front of its
lines. A village In front of the left
wing contains many Russian dead, but
the shell fire of the retreating Rus
slams prevents the Japanese from
reaching them. Conservative esti-
mates place the Russian casualties at
not less than 25,000. Probably many
more dead are on the field in places
not yet searched. The Japanese report
their total casualties at little over
1900 killed and wounded. The prin-
cipal Russian casualties occurred in
determined counter attacks on each
village captured by the Japanese. The
Russian attacking parties were in
many cases entirely annihilated. For
the first time the Russians have met
the Japanese on an equal footing, not
having strong defensive positions to
depend upon, and for the first time
they attacked the Japanese in their
own trenches. The
Russians Fought Braveiy
but they were unable to drive the Jap.
anese out or to hold their own posi-
tions against fierce charges. Almost
in every case the Russians retired
from their positions at the first charge.
then they made repeated attempts to
Iecapture them.
The Japanese left army, with a front
of nearly ten miles, moved farward
about five miles, fighting over every
inch of the ground. The final retreat
OF the Russians was almost rout.
The Japanese extreme left advanced,
driving the remnant of Russians
ahead. The Russians covered their
retreat well with artillery and carried
away much baggage and many wound
ed. AT 1880 this morning the Russians
made determined counter attack at
I.amuting with two regiments OF in
fantry and two batteries of artillery.
They were repulsed after half hours
fighting with heavy loss. The Japa-
nese left army during the past seven
days fighting has captured thirty-four
gums, a large number of rifles and
Overcoats and 100 prisoners. The
strength of the Russians opposed to
the left army were three corps and
thirty companies of artillery All but
d very small part were newly arrived
troops.

tieally the same that fought before

works are ready for the Russians along
