had become the owner Of a $4,000 house

80 cents.
Mrs Brown. who lives In Philadel-

demanding proof and getting it she In
vited all hands to breakfast and re-
joiced greatly. says Philadelphia dis

Mrs. Brown purchased two tickets
awhile. ago in a rattle for a new brick
house of eight rooms at 1917 Porter

the congregation of the Church of the
Epiphany. at Eleventh and Jackson

however, and he will at no time appear
at such a gathering, without the per-
mission of those having the affair In
charge. And when there it will not be
his purpose to tire his hearers with a
long and tiresome harangue. On such
occasions he speaks nationally and in
such manner that his hearers be-
come interested at once.
The minister is ably assisted I'm the
work by Mrs. Asher. who accompanies
him on most of his expeditions. She
has pleasing voice and never fails to
delight the rough men with her songs.
She carries with her to the street and
saloon meetings small organ, the
music of which makes the services
more attractive and churchlike.
Mr. Asher does not confine his efforts
to Duluth alone. but occasionally pays
visit to nearby town for the pur-
pose of holding services.

An automobile parade will be one of
the features of the Grand Army en-
campment, says the Boston correspond
ent of the Washington Post
This is not to be simply long line of
horseless carriages for the delegates to
look at, but the latter are to be invited
to step In and take seat. They will
then be taken on ride over one of the
most historical routes that could be
found in the United States. 1t will
follow out the famous ride of Paul
Revere. From within sight of the
tower of the Old North church-from
which the famous rider received his
signal-and from within sight of the
Bunker Hill monument, the party will
move out on the old Bay road, now
known as Massachusetts avenue.
Over the Charles river into Cam
bridge the visitors will be taken past
Harvard college and the old Washing
ton elm, where Washington assumed
command of the army of the revolu-
ton. Here also will be seen the old
Longfellow home and the house where
James Russell Lowell lived
Over one of the finest roads in the
country they will reach Lexington
where they will see the old Monroe
tavern, which is rich In historical lore
Here is where Earl Percy, with his re-
endorsements, was enabled to hold back
the American patriots while he con
verted the tavern into a hospital. In
the barroom is TO be seen hole made
by a British musket ball. Here also

GRAND ARMY REUNION III IN
Features of National Encamp-
mcnt at Boston
ILLUMINATION TO BE GORGEOUS,

over $4,000 Lights VIII BE utilized
In the Electrical Display = Many
Girls to Participate In Portrayal
of sGsving F1agr-Unique Auto
mobile Ride For the Veterans.
According to Comrade W. A. Wealth
erbee. who has in charge all arrange
ments for the electrical illumination
during the national G. A. r, encamp-
ment at Boston next month, 1t will be
the most gorgeous lighting display
ever seen in New England.
The devices, the arrangements and
the detailed effects are to be kept pro-
found secrets aud sprung, or, rather.
turned on as a big surprise Mr..
Weatherbee, who chatted with a Bos-
ton Herald man the other day, said;
Everything is moving along with the
most wonderful celebrity. There are no
bitches In the arrangements, and feel
justified In saying that the tllumina-
ton, both in extent and In effect, will
be the greatest ever seen In Boston.
Our contract with the Edison COM
pany win call for about $4,000 incan-
descent lights. The main portion OF
the display will be in and about the
Public Garden, which we hope to make
a sunburst of glory. Then we shall H.
lumine portions of Commonwealth ave
nue., Arlington street and sections of
the Common
1--WE expect to have the entire route
Of parade solid mass of decorations
and l have detailed special men to in
terview every person who owns prop
erty or rents property along the route
asking them to decorate. This will be
more effective than circular address
ed to the people, and the men who cal
will offer suggestions to each deco
rator, so that harmonious effect may
be obtained. We estimate that there
will be from $4,000 to $4,000 men in
line, and as many more who will at
tend the encampment who will moi
march,"
One Of the interesting features In
connection with the Grand Army pa
rade In Boston will be that Of the civ
ing flag" Its composition requires the
presence of nearly 1920 children from
the several schools of the city. They
will be arranged in double rows, clad
In colored caps and capes, representing
the several red and white stripes and
the blue field of the flag. They form 9
picture grand and inspiring beyond
description. Arrangements for the fea
ture have been placed in charge Of
Mrs. Lue Stuart Wadsworth, past ma
tional patriotic instructor Of the Won
ans Relief corps.
The children will be divided into tw,
sections of LOO each, and each section
will sing alternately, thus insuring con
slant singing during the parade
James M. Mclaughlin, director Of mu
sic in the Boston schools, will be thu
musical conductor for this occasion.

ALLIGATOR PEARS DOING
WELL IN PHILIPPINES

Captain Niblack at the Naval Sta
ton has recently been receiving sew.
eral oral reports from officers return
ing from the Philippines stating that
the alligator pear seeds which the cap.
tain sent to Olongopo by several vessels
some time ago, have been planted and
are growing with great success. Olong-
apo Is a naval reservation on Subig
Bay. The Navy Department intends
to establish a first class dock yard
there in the near future and It is the
intention of the naval officers to have
the reservation well planted with useful
and ornamental trees which will have
good start at the time when the
dock yard has been established.
Captain Niblack sent u large number
OF alligator pear seeds to Olongapo by
the training ship Mohican, which left
this port little over week ago. He
now asks that people having seeds will
send them to the Naval Station, where
he Will see TO II that they are properly
packed and sent to the Philippines in
order that that useful tree may be in
uoduced in the archipelago.

Russians Believe Port
Arthur Is Impregnable

st. Petersburg, May 2S.-Emperor
Nicholas received the news of the re-
suit of the fighting at Kin Chou and
in its vicinity at the Palace of Tsar-
skoe-Selo. He/a once sent for War
Minister Sakharoff. with whom His
Majesty, with the members of his Mil
itary Cabinet, went over the dispatches.
The Emperor received the report that
the Russians were compelled to retreat
before the heavy artillery fire Of the
enemy's batteries in front and of his
warsbips on their flank with compos-
ure. as being the fortune Of war. but
he was considerably agitated by the
later reports that General Foek had not
succeeded in saving the Russian guns.
The members of the Military Cabinet
pointed out that this later report was
not official and besides he expressed
complete confidence that Port Arthur
itself could not be reduced except at
an immense cost of time and men and
with the aid of the heaviest kind OF
guns. General Sakharoff also said
he did not believe the report
that the enemy had arrived within ten
miles of Port Arthur within twenty.
four hours after the desperate fighting
at Kin Chou.
II is said that the Emperor has re-
ceived dispatches from General Kuro-
patkin regarding the situation, some OF
which may be given out tonight.
The news in the foreign dispatches
has produced the usual crop OF sensa-
tional stories about the Russian Gov
eminent concelling the extent of the
disaster, but the only justification foI
this allegation seems 10 be the sudden
stoppage OF all newspaper dispatches
from the seat Of war. Most of the for
eign reports are allowed to be printed
as soon as received.
An officer Of the general STAFF de.
clared to the Associated Press that Tie
loss of guns reported captured was un.
avoidable, II confined to those mounted
on the works on the hills below Kin
Chou as they could not be carried away
when the Russians retired, but the
breech blocks. he added. had been re.
moved. Before the enemy could use
the guns before Port Arthur they would
have 10 manufacture special cartridges

worthy standard bearer Those now
opposing him for the nomination never

dorsement was, that by failure to ex-
press an opinion, the Hawaiian delega-
uon to St. Louis might quietly make
their way to the convention, sneak
around the corners, possibly pick the

ballots to another. At present Parker

who knows anything about National

State delegates. Parker hasn't the

means. Neither has Hearst for that
matter, but the Hawaiian delegation

express 1t than could possibly be Sc

The important thing to ascertain was
