AphiInnthronic Joke.

First q halfpenny then a gold piece
gave considerable amusement to n
small crowd in the Rue Damon, Paris.
The former coin was placed on the
pavement and lay untouched for an
hour and half before it was picked
up by an old lady, who carefully placed
1t in her reticule, despite the derislye
cheers which were accorded her by
those who were watching.
An American gentleman then placed
twenty franc piece on the ground. and
as pedestrian after pedestrian passed
without seeing it, they were startled
by the uproarlous laughter from doors
and windows. They stopped short,
looked confused and then hurried away
with indignant glances at the merry
makers.
The louis was at last picked up by a
bent and feeble old man, who hobbled
off with his treasure amid enthusiastic
cheers.-London Mail.

Japanese Drive a Telling Wedge at
Port Arthur.
THREE DAYS COMMANDMENT
Resulted In Loss of LOO Men, but
Several Important Forts Were
Taken-Hand to Hand Conflicts
Took Place.

Chicago, Nov S.-A special to tho
Chicago Daily News from Dalny Nov.
6, via Kobe Nov. z, says:
After three days of continuous bom-
bardment Of Port Arthur, which caused
extensive destruction to the Shojusan
and NiIyusan forts, in the west center
of the Russian line OF defense. and
also to Kskwan fort, the right wing Of
the Japanese army assaulted Shojusan
yesterday afternoon. Having carried
the approaches to that height, the as
sailants intrenched themselves under
the glacis of the forts. In the evening
The left wing delivered an assault on
Kekwan, fighting its way to the lower
parapet. There the Japanese held
their ground stubbornly in the fact of
Russian counter-attacks.
Having been reinforced during the
night, the Russians charged down
upon the Japanese and desperate hand.
to.hand conflicts ensued. The Japan.
csc beat back the enemy and destroyed
two covered positions in the front
moat. A Japanese sub-lieutenant with
thirty volunteers then succeeded in
making his way to the rear ofsthe fort.
There he engaged in a personal con-
flict with Russian officer and killed
him. Having discovered two more do
lenses in the rear mote, the sub-lieu-
tenant withdrew his force with loss
Of two men.
Later in the night the advanced po-
sition Of the Japanese was taken and
re-teken twice. The besiegers sue
ceeded in holding the approaches and
constructing trenches connecting them
with the army's front parallel At
dawn numbers Of dead were visible on
the slopes. Fort P, north of the new
and old batteries in the left center of
the line Of defense, was captured by
the severe fighting Of the night.
These operations have successfully
driven an effective wedge into the
Russian center. Severe explosions
and extensive fires have occurred In
the fortress within the last few days.
The total casualties of the Japanese in
the late attacks were LOO. The spirit
of the men is magnificent.

The people Of Turkey are classified
as three classes-the wealthy, the peo-
pie Of ordinary means and the poor.
The wages which the poor are pad
range from 20 to % cents day. Some
Of the girls who work In the silk manu-
factories are paid as low as 8 and Z
cents for hard days work. The ma
1ority Of the Inhabitants Of Turkey,
By the way. are employed in the manu-
facture Of silk. Farming is carried on
very little, which is due to the small
profits which Il brings and to the
scarcity Of machinery. There are many

whom are said to be worth $4,000 600.

that Irishmen never commit suicide,
and when the argument was advanced
In a crowd of that nationality he was

opponents that Irishmen do sometimes
commit rash act. He accordingly dis
appeared, and the man who employed
him started a search. When he got to
the barn he looked up toward the raft
ers and saw his man hanging with a
rope around his waist.
"'What are you up to, Patr he

ALL RESERVE OFFICERS
At St. Petersburg Being Modified to
Take Places of Those Slain,

st. Petersburg, Nov. 8.-The neces-
slty for officers for service at the front
has resulted in the mobilization Of all
reserve officers in st. Petersburg, Viii
ma, Warsaw, Kieff, Odessa, Moscow,
Kasan and the Caucasus. The loss of
officers at Liaoyang and below Mukden
was about 1900. The mobilization,
while intended to supply the deficiency
Is also necessitated by the grand scale
on which the war in the far east Is to
be prosecuted.
The news from the front indicates
that Gen. Kuropatkin Is devoting his
attention chiefly to keeping the Japan
csc busy along the line of their fortifi-
cations below the Shakhe river. Tie
Russians apparently are enjoying some
superiority in the matter of artillery,
ms many of the heavier field trains and
mortar batteries are now arriving and
being brought into service.

Washington, Nov. S.-The national
capital is practically deserted Of quail

Of the governments hundreds Of Off
Gals and clerks have gone home to
vote, embracing the opportunity af-

part of the annual leave. Among
government employees the interest in
the contest has been greater than in
my election for many years.
Only two members of the cabinet,
Secretaries Hay and Morton, are in

Secretary Hay felt that he ought not
to make the trip to Ohio at this time,
and Secretary Morton is detained here
by important business in the navy de-
partment.
A special car for the accommodation
OF the president and his party was at
tached to the regular Pennsylvania
railroad train which left here for New
York at 1890 this morning. Mr..
Roosevelt was accompanied by Sec
rotary Loeb and several White House
attaches who also will vote at Oyster
Bay. The president will remain in
Oyster Bay only long enough to cast
his ballot, returning to New York in
time to catch the liza train for Wash
ington.
Returns from the election will be re-
feived by the president at the White
House. The president will have as his
guests such members of the cabinet as
may be in the city and few other per-
