JAPANESE COLLIDING
 WITH THE RUSSIANS
GENERAL KUROHpS ADVANCE
 GUARDS NOW AT WORK.

Fresh Jap Army Moving from Sui Yen
 to Intercept General stakelberg's Re
 treat-American Attaches With Rus
 sians During Hardest of the Fighting
 at vafangow-RussianA Artillery Out
 matched.
 London. June 1S.-The Daily Mails New Chwang correspondent says:
 .The advance guards of General Ku- rokis army are colliding with the Rus sian forces fifteen miles south of Tach- ichao."
 The Daily Mail in an editorial says it thinks that the correspondent is mis- taken. and that the force is a fresh Japanese army, under General Nodzu, moving from Siu Yen to intercept Gen. eral Stakelberg's retreat.
 The correspondent of the Daily Chronicle at Yin Row, in dispatch dated June 1T, says that General Kuro- patkin left Liao Yang on Wednesday to assume command of the army operating towards Port Arthur.
 No further news of Lieutenant-Gen- eral Stakelberg's present position has yet been received. All accounts agree upon the great superiority both of the Japanese guns and the handling of them in the battle of Vafangow. One account says that the Japanese had over two hundred machine and noun tain guns on the field and that these were admirably adapted for use in such mountainous districts, while the Rus sian field guns were too heavy and were otherwise unsuitable.
 Correspondents with the Japanese first army report that there it little change in the situation, and that only small skirmishes are taking place.
 Liao Yang, June 17.-The wounded in the first two days fighting at Vafangow are arriving here. A lieutenant of Cas- sacks says that the American attaches were with his command most of June 12 during the hottest of the fighting. He commented on their coolness and their professional interest in the operations to the exclusion of the idea of personal danger.
 s'The Russian artillery, the lieuten- ant says, twas splendidly served, but was outmatched in number by the Jap- anese guns. One Russian battery pitt ted against six Japanese batteries was literally smothered by Japanese shells. q saw one Russian battery land three shells in the midst of an ammunition train which was galIoping up to serve \ the Japanese guns. Two caissons ex- [ ploded,. killing all the horses and driv- CTS.
 isThe Japanese guns fired at least 300 rounds. The Russians fired several times on Japanese infantry in close for mation, causing tremendous havoc | An officer of the Fourth battery says . his battery was ill a duel at two and a EhaIf miles with Japanese battery and |siIenced 1t. His battery then ran out of fammunition. and the men carried the *breech mechanism of the guns with them to the rear and brought up fresh supply of ammunition and resumed serving the guns.
 Several of the Russian dead found in the bushes were horribly mutilated. The foreign attaches drew up formal memorandum of this.

CHILDREN TO PRESENT
 CARNIVAL OF DANCES.

The Carnival of Dances 10 be presented on Wednesday evening and on, Thursday matinee at the Jefferson theatre will be the most beautiful and elaborate enter tainment ever given by the children of Birmingham.
 The carnival will be presented by Por- lessor Weissner's dancing class of one hundred and fifty children, and under his direction. The stage settings and cos- tunes will be very elaborate and the many original features to be introduced will make the carnival distinctive. The very fact that Professor Weissner has trained each child and personally con- ducted the rehearsals assures the artis- tic success of the. carnival. His work has brought him national recognition and 1t has frequently been said that his suc- cess with children is so great that the audiences at rehearsals and at the danc- ing classes are amazed and almost awed at the wonderful control he exercises over hundreds of children. From a cor ner on the Jefferson stage yesterday Pro- lessor Weissner directed rehearsal In the wings were crowded children of all ages but the absolute quiet and order that prevailed was wonderful. As the re- hearsal progressed there was not mo- ment's delay or the slightest confusion,

NEED OF REASONABLE
 LODGINGS FOR WOMEN.

The need of comfortable lodgings and board at reasonable prices for the army of young business women who are with out home protection has become so urg- ent that several of Birmingham's most prominent people are Investigating condi- tions with the intention of doing some thing permanent in the way of establish ing an institution that will meet the pres ent requirements.
 Mrs E. T. raliaferro president of the Young Women's Christian association, has long been interested in the conditions that confront hundreds of young women who come to Birmingham and who are compelled to live in boarding houses where the environment is entirely differ ent from anything they have been accus- toned to and uncongenal in every way. The intelligence bureau of the Y. w. C. A. was created for the purpose of assist ing young women ignorant of the city and unfamiliar with localities in their selection of lodgings and has been of great convenience to numbers of young women who know of it's existence. This department of the Y. w. C.. A. work Is but a stepping stone towards establish ing permanent institution where a sys- tenn of cooperative housekeeping will be arranged on a satisfactory basis.
 The advantages of such a plan were discussed several years ago by the Bir- mingham Woman's club and later the Ministers union considered seriously the advisability of making some immediate provision for the increasing number of young women who come to the city alone and frequently without funds. The pa pers have repeatedly called attention to the hardships and even dangers that young girls undergo who are ignorant of localities and whose small salaries often make 1t impossible for them to procure comfortable lodgings in more congenial surroundings. Two or three years ago joint committee from the Wnmans club and the Ministers union, which was ap- pointed to Investigate and submit any plans for the opening of an institution for business women were made a most generous offer by MT. w. T. Smith, own CT of the Eagle hotel. The hotel proper ty was valued at that time at $50000. MT. Smith practically gave the committee s25 GOO provided the remaining s250oO could be raised by popular subscription to pur- chase the hotel property. The commit tee found that it would be impractical at that time to assume so large an indebted ness and since then no other proposition has presented itself
 With the opening of the Young Wo- mems Christian association rooms over a year ago there seems now a brighter prospect for a permanent institution as the work of the association broadens and the public becomes more intimately ac- quanted with it's value to the community. The fact. too, that prominent citizens are recognizing the necessity of an nstitu tion such as the association hopes to open and maintain points to an earlier realiza- ton of it's hopes.
 Among those most prominent just now In bringing this work forward Is Judge Feagin, who is greatly interested in the plans to open a home for business wo- men. He considers tho proposition made

THE GOOD TASTE
 OF HAND WORK.

The question, is hand-painted china for table use in good taste in large quantities, is often asked. Decidedly, let us have hand-work. The more of 1t the better The personal touch at the tables when, only, it often happens we meet our friends gives the crowning jest to the appetite, the conversation, and is the key note to good fellowship. But when we demand hand-work. we mean head-work as well. Plates with big flowers splashed all over them to be covered with gravy and garnshed with pickles, or a decora- ton of dainty cupids drowned in soup. are not in good taste by any means.
 For dessert plates flower designs are always in order and can be quite elabo- rate. Coffee cups should be decorated to match the main service, which should have one color scheme.
