DETAILS OF DISASTER.

St.,Petersburg, April 13.-While
going out to meet the japanese fleet
off Port Arthur the Petropavlesk
struck mine in the outer road
keeled overs turned turtle and
sank. Practically the entire crew
was lost. Only four officers were
saved, among them being the
Grand Duke Cyril. The vessel was
flying the flag of Admiral Maka-
rolf. Another account says that
twenty men escaped from the dis
aster to the Pet-opavlosk. 1t is
estimated that from six to eight
hundred men persisted in the sink
ing of the vessel. Cyril was saved
only by miracle. His brother,
Grand Duke Boris, witnessed the
catastrophe through a marine
glass. Vice Admiral Makaroff was
drowned at the time of the sinking
of the battleship Petropavlosh, but
it is said he committed suicide by
shooting himself.

ELECTING LUDGES.

There is no denying the fact
that the present system of elect
ing judges aud solicitors, in this
state, is wholly unsatisfactory.
Even the most ardent cham
pions of the peoples right to
choose their public servants are
beginning to confess that the idea
is a dismal failure when it is APP
piled TO the selection of our judges
and solicitors.
The present system was adopted
simply as an escape from another
system that had come to be most
shamefulIy abused; that of allow
ing the Legislature to elect these
officials. Under that system po-
litical log-rolling and trading in
office had been carried on until it
was disgrace to the state. The
people rebelled and took the mat
ter into their own hands.
But other evils have already
grown up under the new system.
And today people everywhere are
willing to admit that the present
arrangement is doomed to failure.
Forcing aspirants for judicial
positions, many Of them already

Gus. 1t not only lowers the Dig
nifty of the bench, but it is calcu-
lated to place the judiciary under
obligations that might, at any
time, prove embarrassing. -Au-

Public sentiment has about
reached that point where election
of Judges by the people must be
abandoned.

MAKING MONEY.

Some experts over in China are
still unconvlnced that the free and
unlimited coinage CT silver is not
a good thing. They are said to
be making coins in imitation of
quarters and half-dollars of the
United States and shipping them
in quantities to this country. The
amount of silver in half-dollar
Is worth about 30 cents, so that
the coiners are making a profit,
exclusive of freight, of 20 cents
on each coin, The workmanship
on the coins is said to be pretty
nearly perfect; so nearly as good
as that of the minis that only an
expert can tell the bad money
from the good Quantities of
these bogus halves and quarters
have been received in Seattle and
San Francisco.

WHAT WALKING DID.

Charles Norris, of San Francisco,
was told by his physician eleven
years ago that he had coIsump-
ton and that he must take open
air exercise; that he possibly had
six months to live, but might
lengthen the time to a year.
Norris determined to try walking.
At first he was so weak he could
go only a short distance in a day
Gradually he grew stronger and
his health began TO improve
Since that time he has walked
more than 10000 miles and De-
lleves himself cured. He walks
south in the winter and north in
the summer. The nomAdic life
has become fascinating to him,
and he says he will continue it.
He is neither tramp or beggar,
but walks for health and pleasure.

THEY MEYER DRINK WATER.

Says the Lahore India Tribune
There are hundreds of horses and
thousands Of cattle III the Ha-
waiian Islands which never take a
drink of water throughout the
whole course of their lives. On
all the islands the upper attitudes
of the mountains are given up to
cattle ranges. Except possibly
two or three months in the rainy
season there are no streams OF
pools of water in any part where
the cattle roam. but everywhere
there grows recumbent, jointed
grass known by the native name
of "Manioia. " This is both food
and drink

SOFTCORE:

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

A patient called at the office of
a prominent physician, stated his
ills, and the doctor wrote out a
prescription and handed it to him.
The patient then inquired the
probable cost Of getting it filled,
and was told about sixty cents.
The patient then asked the doctor
for the loan of that amount, and
the doctor, scratching his head,
drew line through several parts
Of the prescription, and then
handing it to the patient, saying,
"Now you can get it filled for
about ten cents. Those / scratch

Most unhappy people have be-
come so by gradually forming a
habit of unhappiness, complaining
about the weather, finding fault
with their food, with crowded cars
and with disagreeable companions
or work, says Success. A habit
of complaining, Of criticising, of
fault finding or grumbling over
trifles, a habit of looking for
shadows, is a most unfortunate
habit to contract, especially in
early life, for after awhile the
victim becomes a slave. All OF
the impulses become perverted,
until the tendency to pessimism
to cynicism is chronic.

VALUE CREATED BY JUDICIOUS
ADVERTISING.

That was interesting testimony
delivered under oath by the officer
of salt company in New York
the other day. He was asked by
the court why the company chang
ed more for a particular brand of
salt, labeled Purity" if it was
prepared with more care than the
other brands, or was it better in
any respect.
There is no difference what
ever" he replied in substance.
"This salt comes from the same
kettle with the other salt. But
this brand is worth more than the
others, however, because we have
advertised it extensively and have
fixed it il the public mind, People
will ask for Purity, showing that
they have read the newspaper and
other advertisements. In other
words, advertising has increased
the value of that brand of salt.
This salt is put up in exactly the
same kind of packages as the
others, and there is nothing in its
appearance different from that of
other salt, but it is worth more be-
cause we have spent money making
it a familiar name with the buy
ing public"
The New York Herald comment
ed on the incident, cditorially, and
emphP sized the fact that advertis-
ing an article adds to the value of
that article.

The secret is gradually coming
out about the Sully failure. Quite
q number of his friends and back
ers knew that he was to fail on a
certain day, and they made what
they call killings" by reason of
this knowledge. Several thousand
bales of cotton were sold short a
few days before the failure, with a
resultant profit of five or six
dollars a bale. In other words
the Sully hackers hedged in time
to save themselves. This 1nfor-
nation may play an important
part in the winding up of the
Sullv affair.

CHAPTER Xxx

"HE peremptory demand for an
interview which had been de-
livered to Miss Moore during
the half hour preceding her
marriage had come not from the bride
groom, as ! had supposed, but from
the so called stranger, Mr.. Pfeiffer.
For all this proof that Mr.. Pfeiffer
was well known to her, If not to the
rest OF the bridal party, no acknowl-
edgment Of this was made by any Of
them then or afterward, nor any con-
tradiction given either by husband or
wife to the accepted theory that this
seeming stranger from the west had
gone into this fatal room of the
Moores to crafty his own morbid Gu
riosity.
On the contrary, an extraordinary
effort was Immediately made by Mr..
Jeffrey to rid himself of the only wit
nesses who could tell the truth con-
cerning those fatal ten minutes, but
this brought no peace to the miserable
happy moment.
EXTRAORDINARY eHorts at concealment

Fully to understand the circumstances
Of Mrs. Jeffrey's death, 1t would be
necessary first to know what had hap
pened In the Moore house when Mr..
Jeffrey learned from Curly Jim that
the man. whose hold upon his bride
had been such that he dared to demand
an interview with her just as she was
ON the point OF descending to her
nuptials, had been seated, or was
about to be seated, In the room where
death had once held its court and
might easily be persuaded to hold court
again.
The encouragement afforded me by
my late discoveries was such that
felt confident that nothing could hinder
my success save the necessity Of CON-
pletely pulling down the house. Be-
