The AD MANS TALK

Statistics show that about oighty-nve
per cent. Of an articles used and consumed
by the family are selected and purchased
by the women.
More statistics show that Il is the even
ing paper that goes into the home.
Men Of the family are apt TO get the
morning paper and take II to their office.
When they buy an evening paper down
town they take it home with them, and
that IS why the evening paper is one that
is worth while.
Tho majority Of newspaper advertisers
today want to reach tho women; they
must reach them to make sales. The Aon-
dition OF affairs concerning the morning
and evening papers IN big cities was not
always the same as II is now. In New
York city five years ago the evening pa
pers carried a very small proportion Of
the advertising. Conditions are slowly
being reversed, and the evening papers
are coming more and more into promin-
ence as effective advertising mediums.
As a special attraction TO Delaware wo-
men The Evening Journal has been rum
ming a woman's page for a good many
months past. Advertisers say that Il Is
the department that Is especially useful
to them, as itp uts them into close touch
with the women.
Especially do the local merchants I'm Will
mington need n reach this eighty-hve per
cent. purchasing power. They can do II
best through the medium Of the evening
paper.

ciauoGs over the question Of wages.
At present the vessel owners stand
ready to pay as their maximum the
same wages they paid last year by the
month for the actual time employed,
while the masters and pilots are will

month. but insist that they shall be
paid for a full season Of nine months.
regardless Of the time employed. The
effects Of the strike are dlnhcult to
compute. The total tonnage of the
lakes is about 100000 tons. Perhaps
100000 tons Of that have been tied
up during the forty days.

Unless Peaco u Declared Soon Between
Lake Carriers and Masters and Pilots
Association the West Will Experience
a Great Commercial Disaster.
Chicago. May 23.-Almost complete
paralysis Of lake commerce has FOL
lowed the strike Of the masters and pi-
lots Of the great lakes, and in the opin.
ion Of local experts Chicago md the
west are facing one Of the greatest
commercial disasters in history.
Already more than 100000 men have
been thrown out Of employment, and
capital estimated to approximate $3.50
100000 has been tied up. The strike
has affected fifty lake ports. In Chi
cago alone a score OF big warehouses
are practically closed down.
At this time there seems no sign oil
weakening on either the part OF the
Lake Carriers association or the Mas
ters and Pilots association. II was the
latter body which preclpitated the
struggle by refusing TO accept the wage
scale offered by the employing body.
The Civic federation is now trying
to patch up a peace between the con.
tending sides.
Except for the important lumber yes
sells, which are taking out small re.
turn cargoes, there is practically nc
business at this port, and reports from
the other ports affected indicate the
same condition Of affairs.
Grain Shipment at a Standstill.
Where more than 20,OOO.0O0 bushels
OF grain left Chicago harbor during the
month Of May last year, about 100000
bushels have gone up the lakes from
here on nine lumber vessels during the
last two weeks. There is not a single
grain boat on either the north or south
branch OF the Chicago river and only
four boats lying in the Calumet river
at South Chicago awaiting trim
mers" and the opening OF business.
Union grain trimmers are on strike
there, End the two efforts made to
trim" the grain with nonunion crews
have been unsuccessful. and it was said
at South Chicago yesterday that no
further efforts would be made until ths
tieup is lifted.
The iron ore trade on the lake, which
usually brings $4,000 tons of ore daily
to South Chicago and Is the life Of that
port, is absent at this time.
Three or four boats have come "a
South Chicago. all with small cargoes
One boat was unloaded at the docks OF
the International Harvester company's
South Deering branch. and the other
two boats are tied up at the Illinois
Steel company's docks.
The ore handlers and holsters have
not been engaged for this season and
have received no promise Of work in
the near future. About 5000 men, the
number usually employed at South
Chicago during the shipping season
are idle and without prospects Of work
Most of these men are without money
as they do no work during the winter
months, and are getting desperate.
An unusually large number of hold
ups and burglaries In the last three
weeks have been charged to the idli
marine workers. but only one arres
has been made.

oreat pspression In Buffalo.

Buffalo, May 23.--It Is impossible to
estimate accurately the extent Of the
damage done by the strike up to this
time or what the outcome win be II
no settlement OF the differences is
reached. This city is one Of the worst
sufferers. Idle men line the docks.
-four mills are ready to shut down. and
merchants are depressed at the falling
of in trade The whole city is under
an industrial cloud. In 1902 at this
time 25,O0o.Oo0 bushels Of grain had
been received in Buffalo. This year
not 100000 have been received. Pack
age freight receipts are proportional

JAPANESE LOCATED.

General Kuropatkin Definitely Asosr-
tsins Enemy's Position.
Liaoyang, May 23.-Patrols and cav
airy detachments Of the main army
operating under General Kuropatkin
have come in since Friday and report
the enemy in the Finchow range OF
mountains. seventy-fve miles north
east Of Fungwang. This is additional
proof that the japanese have an army
far in the mountains east of Mukden
operating independently of kurokis
division. The Cossacks report that at
no time have they seen as much as a
regiment Of infantry with artillery
and cavalry posted along the high
roads In the Finchou range, and at IN
important points in the mountains the
Japanese strength has been less than
three companies.
Most Of the enemy seen were infan-
try and artillery, and in the scouting
OF the Cossack cavalry only six compa.
pies Of mounted japanese were OBJ
served, these being southwest of the
Shang mountains, near Tungwha
about seventy miles east Of Mukden
and on the fork of the road leading to
Thieling, halfway between Mukden
and Hardin.
The reports received definitely locate
General KurolKrs army. The left wing
is northeast OF Siuyen, with advance
posts on the road TO Hsichen. The
right wing Of his army is little north
of the Fenshu pass, forty miles south
east Of Liaoyang. and Cossack patrols
report that his center is west of the
main tributary Of the Tayang, in the
middle valley of the Thsien mountains.
This puts his center about midway be-
tween Haichen and Liaoyang.
