FIRE IN HER HOLD.
Big Steamer Minnesota Narrowly
Escapes Destruction.

Norfolk. Va, Sept. 22.-Fire broke
out in the hold of the steamship Min
nesota, of the. Great Northern line.
while the vessel was loading coal for
her bunkers at Lambert's Point piers
here, but the flames were extinguisred
with only trifing loss. The fire was
caused by spontaneous combustion in
the coal that had been loaded at New
London abaft of midship, and was dis
covered by an engineer. The Mime
sofa, which is bound for Seattle, car
ries cargo of 5000 tons of anthra-
cite loaded at Philadelphia. The fire
caused great excitement in the ship
ping district, and was only extin-
guished after quick work by the
Ship'S fire crew.

Denver Colo, Sept. 22.-One fireman
is dead, four are being kept alive only
by administering oxygen and thirteen
others are critically ill today from the
effects of nitric acid fumes which they
inhaled at the small fire in the Denver

SAYS FORTRESS WILL HOLD OUT
First Woman to Run Blockade Talks
of Port Arthur Situation.

Chefoo. Sept. 22.-Mrs. Anna
Kravtchenko, the English wife of a
Russian army officer, who arrived here
the night of September II with Lieu
tenant Prince Radziwil from Port Ar
thur, is the first woman to run the
blockade from the Russian stronghold
since the Japanese increased their
vigilance to prevent egress from the
port. Her trip was rendered extreme
" perilouS because she came out with
the prince and his companion, Lieu
tentant Christoforoff, who carried mes
sages from Lieutenant, General Stoes-
sci, the commander at Port Arthur to
General Kuropatkin-
Both these officers were disguised
and had they been captured by the
japanese they certainly would have
been executed.
Mrs. Kravtchenko was so worn out
and exhausted by her adventure that

Resting Up

When one has something particular
en- hand for the evening, it is advis-
able to rest up" for It during the day,
and here is a formula for that process
suggested by an excellent English
urse:
N Urst lie down in the afternoon with
OMIT a loose gown on, so that the body
can relax properly. Next take a quick
warm bath, afterward rubbing the
spine we'll with eau de cologne.
Next the face is to be gently wash
ed In water softened with bran, as hot
as can be borne, then rinsed off with
cold water to which a dash of toilet
vinegar has been added. To brighten
the eyes. give them a bath by means
OF teacupful Of slightly salted tepid
water. Dress with deliberation, and II
possible, have someone do your hair for
you if you do not keep a maid.
1t is a great aid to a successful toilet
to have all your things laid out ready
so that you do not have to rummage in
bureau drawers or turn out boxes OF
tumble in closets at the last minute
Whatever you are going to need in the
way Of clothes, stockings shoes. hand
kerchiefs. gloves, fan, etc, should be
where you can lay your hand on them
when you want them.

One more proof that all is not gold
that glitters is found in the fact that
much OF the gold lettering seen on
signs. and also much Of the gliding OF
picture frames, has no gold whatever
about it. Among laymen the opinion
prevails that all such decoration ro-
quires the actual use OF gold leaf. but
the reality is different, and a substitute
that defies detection has been widely
used for some time. The exact effect
OF gold is secured by using a leaf OF
either silver or aluminium under yel-
low paint. The metal backing gives
the required luster. and the paint gives
the required color. This method can.
not be used In all cases, because the
paint is OF peculiar quality and re
quires putting on with an even thick
ness. For this reason 1t is generally
applicable only to nat surfaces. Parts
of a gilded picture frame which are
nodded into waving surfaces generally
require genuine golf leaf to cover them

Then Smith looked out OF the window
while the agent put sovereigns on the
table. 1t was then the agents turn to
look out OF the window. and when he
turned round again Smith and the
money had disappeared. Smith never
saw the agent put down the money;
the agent never saw Smith pick 1t up.
Consequently when a parliamentary
commission was appointed the agent
swore he never gave Smith any money
and Smith swore that no one gave him

Timely Receipts
Beet Marmalade.

Wash as many bright red tender beets
as you require. taking care not to bruise
the skin; do not cut the root at all. and
only trim of the leaves down to within
an inch Of the root; cook in boiling water
until perfectly tender; the time depends
on the size and age OF the beets; drain
and chop fine in the chopping bowl; mea-
sure the beet and allow three-fourths OF
a cupful OF sugar to each cupful OF beet
add lemon juice. grated lemon peel.
ground cinnamon and cloves to season TO
tasts; quite a little lemon is advisable;
cook either in a double boiler or with an
asbestos griddle under the kettle to avoid
scorching. until a spoonful OF the pre-
serve dropped on a cool plate thickens
like jelly; toward the last It is best to
watch and stir almost constantly: pack
in stcne pots or glasses and close secure
ly with parafine paper dipped in white
Of egg. The color Of beet marmalade is
beautifully rich and the taste delicious
The jam is made in just the same way,
only after the beets are cooked tender
they are pressed through a puree sieve

How A. y. Fro-t enc coupop..

A certain Philadelphia art club has a
custom OF creating a great deal of fun
at the expense OF new members TO test
their mettle and good fellowship. This,
as may be imagined, is excellent fun
for the assemblage at large. but is
often very trying to the lone target Of
It all. Shortly before the election OF

friend. she can forgive. for she under
stands"
II this communication were not so
ridiculous 1t would be astounding. 1t
illustrates admirably the ease with
which human nature of a certain
mawkish sort can stoop to degradation
while persuading itself that it is
moved by motives which might do
credit to the angels.
What this woman falsely dignifies by
the name OF love is merely a gigantic
selhshness, a wilful passion. a lack Of
all right principle. Love-" she wrote,
is the supreme gift and the highest
law" But of that high. pure unselfsh
love which is indeed the supreme gift
she knows no more than the two little
children she left behind her-per-
haps not as much.
AS for the besotted sentimentality
which could shed tears and kisses upon
the erring couple. and bid them go
their way in peace. this is indeed
something to marvel at. But not 10
admire. Far. far from it.
BY taking the sanity 'I-forgivey you
GO and -bless-you" attitude. the de-
serted wife not only uil herself and
her children a terrible injustice. She
also did an injustice to the fleeing
man and woman. More than that, she
retarded by just so much the progress
of this sad and stained old world to-
ward a better knowledge and cleaner
life.
It is a beautiful thing for n woman tc
be tender and merciful. But II is by
just this excess of pity and forgiveness
that she condones wrongdoing and
helps it to flourish as noxious weeds
spring up in the warmth of the suns
smiles. Book after book has come out
recently wherein the weak imitation
