ST. LOUIS. Mo, May 9--There isn't
much danger of visitors to the worlds fair
getting into Jail, unless they spit on the
sidewalk or vote for Joseph w. Folk.
These two crimes are unforgivable. =
The anti-spitting law was passed a year

st. Louis has a police force of l,SOO Of
fcers and patrolmen, and a finer body OF
men it would be hard to find. They are
big, active, pleasantfaced chaps, neatly
uniformed, and each wears white gloves.
They could not be more oblging. They
answer questions--even fool questions
smilingly and patiently. They go out
of their way to direct strangers, and they
even will go into drug stores to look up
addresses Tor befuddled visitors.
Of course, St. Louis is wide open. 1t

palm gardens" Concert halls" and re-
sorts all over the city, where men and
women drink together.

COLLEGES AND
CHRISTIANITY

''What Is a Christian Collegeg" was the
theme of the sermon preached by Rev.
A. H. Barnhisel at the First Presbyterian
church yesterday morning. The recent
events at Whtworth college reveal the
fact that there are differences Of opinion
in the minds of men concerning a Chris
tian college, and the sermon was applied
to the conditions now prevailing in that
institution,
The pastor answered the question,
"What Is Christian Collegeg" in a
measure by answering the questions,
"What Makes a Christian MANI and
"What makes Christian homer" "The
Christian life" he said, ''is life Of faith
in ideals that transfgures earth to heaven
and manhood to sonship with God. 1t
takes this same Christian life to make the
Christian man, home or college"
"The Christian man is a man with the
Christian faith and IDEALS he said, "and
the Christian home is home with Chris
tian faith and purpose, and the Christian
college is an educational institution is
which the Christian conception of God
and the world, the Christian interpreter
ton Of life and its meaning, the Christian
and his motive, are the determinative fac
tors that rule in the college life"

INJURED WOMAN LEFT ON SIDEWALK

Yesterday about noon a lady residing at
1909 East Twenty eighth street was thrown
from her seat on cable car as it rounded
the corner at Thirteenth and A streets
with such violence that her face is badly
scratched and one leg was so badly bruised
that she was unable to walk when she
reached home.
After the car had rounded the curve it
was stopped and the lady was picked up
and taken around to the corner of Elev-
eenth street and Pacific avenue. There
she was given transfer and left to get
home as best she could

WHITWORTH COLLEGE TRUSTEES
HAVE STORMY Time IN SEATTLE

SEATTLE, May 9.-The board of trus-
tees of Whitworth college, Tacoma, is in
session here today. The meeting is being
held in the lecture room Of the First Pres
byterian church, behind closed doors. Rep
resentatives of the press are barred, but
from the few facts that have leaked out
it is evident that a storm of considerable
severity is brewing. The meeting was
called as the result of several things that
occurred in connection with a meeting
held in Tacoma about two weeks ago. AT
that time President Gault and three other
members of the faculty were asked to with
draw.

Manchuria.
If it were not for the danger Of sudden
forays from Port Arthur and Vladivostoz
Japan could move 100000 or 10000 troops
to Korea and Manchuria within a few
weeks.
The occupation of Korea would be Of
small advantage to Japan, as the Russians
could fortify the narrow neck of the pen.
insula or the line of the Yalu river.
Japan could easily occupy Niu-C huang.
The river Leao-Ho near that point is a
formidable river nearly a mile wide, and is
only crossed by boats or ferries.
The occupation of that point would cut
the communication between Picking and
Moscow, or destroy all communication by
rail between China and Russia. Still it
would not be decisive.
As | anticipated some weeks ago, it was
most probable that the two main armies
would come together along the Yalu river.
Should the japanese follow up their re-
cent successes in crossing that river and
occupy the adjacent Manchurian valley
with a large army they viii be in the
strategic position Of threatening both lines
of communication between Hardin and

GREAT FOR JAPS IF THEY FOLLOW
UP VICTORY, WIRES CEN. MILES

BOSTON, Mass. May 9.-An eminent
American writer has truly said that the
command of the sea remains the dominant
factor in the great war now being enacted
in the Orient. That problem cannot be
solved for many months and may be un-
determined for at least one or two years.
We hear sensational reports of great bat
Ties, the destruction of fleets, as well as
large bodies of troops, yet they have so far
proved to be only sensational and in the
main unreliable.
The enterprise and dash of the japanese
was creditable in the first few weeks of
the conflict. Their continued and persist
ent effort to destroy that portion of the
Russian feet at Port Arthur or to effect
ually blockade that port has been credit
able in a military point of view, as it has
been fruitless, yet it demonstrates the
purpose of the japanese government to
clear the waters of the Japan and Yellow
seas in order to make is practicable and
safe for them to move formidable army

This created storm among the stu
dents and other members of the faculty
that threatened to disrupt the college. 1t
was for the purpose Of resembling its ac-
ton, or at least making some concessions
in the matter, that the meeting was called
today.
A committee of six, representing the stu.
dents of Whitworth college, came over
from Tacoma today to urge the board to
retain President Gault and the other mem
bers of the faculty who were marked for
slaughter at the last meeting. The COM
mittee appeared before the board this aft
ernoon, but what action was taken is not

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is inhamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out OF ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condi
tion of the mucous services.
