THEN HE WANTED TO STAY.
The Amusing Experience of Gen. Fitz-
 hugh Lee While Stopping at TNrs,,, a Southern Hotel.

Shortly after the expiration of his serm as governor of Virginia, Gen. Fitzhugh Lee decided to rest for a few weeks, and seized Palm Beach, Fla, as the place, ex-President Cleveland hay ing also selected that place for a few weeks sojourn, says Success. Gen Lees emoluments as governor had not been very large. and he was not seeking an expensive hostelry.
 Imagine my surprise and chagrin," |" he said, "on arriving late one evening at Palm Beach and, after registering at the hotel. being escorted with great atten- tion to a suite with this notice on the door: "The price of these rooms is $100 per day
 Tt was too late for me to attempt to make any change, besides, was given to understand that the rooms were espe- cially prepared for the ex-governor of Virginia. One hunderd dollars a day, Half that night I tumbled and tossed. thinking about the price of those rooms and wondering where I was going to get the money. l finally concluded that the only thing left fer ne to do was to quit that hotel without loss of time. as it would certainly be beneath the dignity of an ex-governor of Virginia to ask for anything cheaper than the room espe- cially assigned to him. Accordingly, I arose at an early hour. packed my trunk and proceeded to the office. I informed the clerk that l had changed my pro- gramme and was obliged to leave on the next train, and that wished my bill at ofce.
 Why, governor explained the clerk. your sudden departure will prove a great disappointment. as we expected you would remain several weeks
 I am sorry. too. said but must leave on that ten o'clock train Indeed. l was sorry to leave. but there was that sl00 a day. which knew I could not pay.
 The clerk. however. made no move. and reiterated my request for my bill.
 That's all right said the clerk MT. Flagler left orders. as soon as We heard that you were coming. that there was to be no charge as long as you re- mained with us. whether one day or six weeks. We are only sorry that you can remain."

SUFFERERS FROM APOPLExI
Attacks Usually Come Without Warn. ing-How to Treat the
 Patient.

Apopiexy occurs with greater fre- lueney now than it did some years ago. According to the United States census returns there were nearly 51 from apo plexy in every 1000 deaths in 1900. whereas in 1890 there were less than 2S Tn every 1000 deaths from all causes This IS doubtless due to a correspondine increase in arterial diseases. for apo plexy, at least the common form. is sim ply the rupture of blood-vessel in the brain, the paralysis and other symp- toms being caused by destruction or compression of the brain substances by the effused blood.
 The attack usually comes without warning, the sufferer being struck down in the midst of apparent health-hence the term stroke of paralysis" Some times the attack is preceded for some days by an unwonted inertia on the sunerers part, with a disinelination to read or talk. and there may be more or less vertigo with momentary lapses of consciousness. The attack may occur during sleep, or while the patient is sitting quietly, or it may appear to be brought on by physical strain or some strong mental emotion.
 There is almost always at first un- consciousness. The patient lies in a pro- found stupor. breathing nosily. with mapping of the lips and cheeks Some times the attack is not so precipitate; nausea and vomiting with dizziness and mental depression, may preeede the de- velopment of coma. Death may occur in the attack, or the patient may gradu- ally recover. with more or less paralysis remaining. In cases of recovery. con- sciousness gradually returns after longer or shorter interval. There is usu- ally some feven for, a week. or two, and the paralysis. which may at first be al- most universal. is found to be limited to one side of the body or to certain groups of muscles. The amount and seat of the paralysis vary with the loca- tion and size of the blood clot. As this contracts and is partially absorbed the paralysis diminishes, and may, in very light cases, almost entirely disappear.
 person who has had stroke should be placed in bed with the head little raised, and cold cloths or an ice-bag should be applied to the head. The drugs that are called for are those that reduce the pressure of the blood in the arteries and quiet the action of the heart.

Jnpanese StIII Crossing

Paris. April 2S.-A dispatch to the Temps from St. Petersburg says: The Japanese continue 70 cross the Yalu river in small squads. The Russian tactics seem to be not to seriously op- pose these preliminary movements.
The Forrest City times., 1904-04-29
\ Profound Secret.

The point at which they are crossing is, of course, profound secret, though there is every reason to believe that hussia is fully informed of it, and has been thoroughly outwitted by her crafty foe. This view is confirmed by that fact that while it is known that the war office has received several tel egrams from the east, containing news of the war, it has not given out one of them. Instead, it has caused to be circulated a report that 'the Japanese have probably effected a crossing of the Yalu, but that this must not be considered reverse. since it never was Russia's plan to prevent the crossing, as she desires to lure them into Man. churia for a decisive action"
 The Japanese Tactics.
 It is regarded as certain that the Japanese will not be forced into action after their army is over the Yalu. They will settle down and hold Kuropatkin in check while another division lays siege to Port Arthur and reduces it. an event which will surely happen soon, say strategists.
 The rumor that the Japanese fleet is after the Nladivostok squadron is re- garded as true, but there is no reason to believe it will catch the marauder. The fleet ran only $50 miles from it's harbOr and then dashed back towards port as soon as it sank one little mer- chant ship at Gensan. It was. thus, we'll under way to cover before the pursuit began.
 Regarded Absurd.
 The story from Paris that it de- stroyed four loaded troop ships is re- garded as absurd on the face of 1t, as 1t is known that the Japanese, notwith- standing the bottling up of the Port Arthur and Vladivostok fleets. have not taken any foolish risks and sent their transports to sea unprotected. Every fleet of transports has been ac- companied by strong array of war ships.

St. Louis, April 2S.-Sunshine has come at last to cheer the hearts and brighten the hopes of the chilled and apprehenhiye East Side cities which seemed threatened with another disa~ trcus food
 The estimate made at the St. Louis harbor office was that the flood would reach it's crest at midnight at a stage something over 33 feet. The river is rising but slowly, and at noon stood at 3z.S, with the waves tapping the pillars at the elevated railway and crawling over the tracks at the top of the levee. The reading was 317 Tues day night and 323 at seven o'clock Wednesday morning.
 Refugees from the threatened dis trictS of East St. Louis. Granite City Venice, Madison and Brooklyn are re- turning to the scene of danger and la boring with a win to avert any fur ther catastrophe.
 Mayor Leads in the Work
 At East St. Louis Mayor Silas Cook led the 'cheer-up' movement by get ting on the scene of action bright and early, attired in hip boots, and ready to take hurried survey of the situa- ton. He reported everything in safe condition.
 The Illinois Central embankment which acts as a dike on the south of the city, and which broke at a eritiea: stage last year, has been adequateiy strengthened by a force of .50 men, with two steamshoyels and pile drivet.
 The Wiggs Ferry tracks, both above and below the city, are nearly car wheel deep under water, but Mayor Cook declared his belief that the stage would not go over 34 feet, and that lit tie damage was threatened
 At Alton, Wednesday morning a sale of cattle driven from the West Alton lowlands was held, and many cattle are being moved to the city from pas. lures on the east side The river is within six feet of the highest stage at Alton last year, and Is steadily rising.
 The nearest approach to a general overflow has been along the east side of the river at Granite City and Mad ison. At the latter point the levee broke. leaving an outfit of levee graders marooned and unable to reach Mitchell by land. The steamer Spread Eagle went up the river from St. Louis and brought off 200 men and 100 hors and mules A herd of horses in pa. ture near Granite City was also brought to the city by the Spread Eagle
 sand Bags to Strengthen Dikcs.
 Much bottom land outside the prO:ec- tion of the main Madison levee is sub- merged, and crops are ruined
 Thousands of men have been at work along the railway embankments above the tri-cities, these embankments serv- ing as dikes of great value. Mayor Cook of East St Louis neither antici- pates nor fears a rise to the 36-foot stage, but as a measure of precaution is having prepared 50000 bags of sand and clay for use in strengthening dikes.
 IL is estimated that 150 families have deserted their homes in the Missouri rivar bottoms, and that 10000 acres are inundated.
 At Alton 20 families. forced to flee from the bottoms, were given refuge in the city hall

THE RACE OF DAY AND NIGHT.

Where is the way where light dwell eth? end as for darkness, where is the place thereof?-Job, xcviii, 19. An endless ride on a course worldwide Is the race of Day and Night. Day speeds ahead where the dawn is red,
 On the path ablaze with light: Across the seas to awake the breeze, And above the hill and glen He sends his cries to the paling skies Till they echo back again. And the fecks of frost by his wheels
 are tossed
 Where the winter has it's hold. And he filings the dew to the rcseheart,
 too,
 Where the summer mcrns unfold; But he has no rest. either east or west, For he must keep on his round, On the course that swirled all about
 the world At the hour Time was unbound. over the earth's rim, to the rear of
 him,
 There arise the banner gray And there comes the beat of muffled
 feet,
 Telling Night is on the way. Then the Night sweeps high in the
 fading sky.
 With her trailing stars a-rush, Till she holds the seas and the croon-
 ing breeze
 In her calming, worldwide hush. Yet the Night must look at the path
 Day took
 And must haste OCT plain and steep. Tn her arms there gleams all the gold
 of dreams
 And silver seals of sleep, And she filings them free over land and
 seq.
 To the host of day-wovn men Then she hurries on at the shout of dawn,
 For the Day is come again. Thus they sweep and swerve up the
 long long curve That is laid from east to west; And there is no stay on the reaching
 way
 Neither pause, nor halt, nor rest But the two rush on with the dark and
 dawn
 On the path that lies before, In the endless ride on the course world
 wide
 Until Time shall be no more.

PARLoR WRESTLING MATCHES.
Are Now the Latest Craze of London
 Society.

Wrestling is going to become a great society craze this season. The king has given it his imprimatur, the Bath club has made it a feature in it's gymnasium and the young society lions of the west end of London have installed a lead ing professional to instruct them in it's art and mysteries. King Edward has given instructions to have d stage for wrestling added to the gymnasium of Buckingham palace.
 It will he remembered that when John L. Sullivan visited England. the king, then the Prince of Wales, "com- manded" him to appear at Marl- borough house. and so impressed was he with the great man that he had d stage for boxing added to the gymnas- ium at once. His majesty in his younger days was no mean exponent with bis fists, but if is doubtful wheth- CT he will start at his present age to study tho mysteries of cross bullock or half Nelson.
 Other society esta blishments are fol- lowing the example of the king. and wrestling accommodation is being inn proved in all manner of shapes. Ne glected billiard rooms are being clear ed out and turned into gymnasia due regard being paid to the requirements

BANK ROBBERS FLAGeED.
War Map on Their Operations Kept
 During Busy Season.

A visitor to the New York head quarters of detective agency noticed a large map of the United States pro fusely decorated with little flags, e few of them red but most of them white.
 Looks like war map," commented the visitor. And most or the fighting seems to be in the middle west"
 That's our bank robbery map," eX- plained the head of that particular de- partment. Its a little scheme of my own.
 "The red flags mark robberies in banks belonging to the association that retains us. The white flags represent rohberies in banks that are not mem bers of this association. Each flag is inscribed with the details of the rob bery 1t represents.
 The map is corrected from day to day. and it gives us a pretty fair idea of the general situation at a glance. We keep it hanging on the wall here throughout the bank robbery season.
 The bank robbery season?"
 "Yes. That begins about September l. when the nights begin to get long. There is comparatively little safe cracking out of season, when the nights are short. A job of that kind takes time. e."-New York Sun.
