Letter to B F shriver q Co

Dear Sirs You ask how many square feet
d gallon will cover. Depends on condition
Of building.
There is a great deal Of lying on this point.
The stock claim Of lying paints IS 500 square
feet. two coats. It's lie. as rule.
Deyoe covers 800 % 500, our agents think.
We think 500 too low aud 500 toe high; though
doubtless. they both oCeur.
How much the other paints cover IS equally
doubtful; We guess 100 to 400
The truth Is found in another COMPARISON.
Devoe Is all paint, true paint, strong paint,
aud full measure; the others ia general are, al
the best, diluted, adu!terA.ed aud short meas
IRE They cover according to body aud
measure. You can't paint with clay lime
chalk sand barytes water or air--no body in
them. Go by Devoe.
Yours truly

RUSSIAN SHIP SUNK.
Vice-Admiral Makarof and Six
Hundred Men Lost.

Again have the Russians been the victims
of great naval disaster in their war with the
Japanese. The battleship Petropavlovsk
Peter and PAUL., in Port Arthur harbor.
Wednesday morning struck a mine, which
exploded and turned the ship upside down,
Vice Admiral Makaroff, commander-in-
chief of the Russian naval forces in the Far
East. and about 600 of the officers and men on
the ship were killed or drowned. Grand
Duke Cyril, between whom and the throne OF
the Cars there are but three lives, was
slightly wounded.
Of those on board the ship only Captain
Jakovlef, of bis officers and 81 men survive,
all more or less injured.
Early in the morning the Russian ships at
Port Arthur steamed forth to meet the Jap
anese feet. The Japanese were reinforced
until they had 80 vessels, and the Russians
then returned to the roadstead. 1t was there
the Petropavloysk struck the fatal mine, which
had gotten out of position.
After this disaster, according to reports re-
ceived at St. Petersburg, the fleet went out
again to meet the Japanese aud battle took
place, with what result is not known.
The mine which wrecked the Petropavlovsk
was one laid by the Russians. ESQ, she is the
fourth vessel in the same navy to be thus des-
troyed in the present war.
The Petropavlovsk was :he flagship OF the
ce-Admiral. She was of 10, $50 tons, about
as large as the Indiana, Of the United States
Navy and two. thirds the size of The Virginia,
recently launched at Newport News.
Vice Admiral Makaroff was considered the
best fighting officer in the Cars navy, being.
in the estimation of American officers who
knew him, an able sailor, thorough scientist
and a man of great personal courage.
In addition TO the sinking of the battleship
Petropavlovsk aud the death of Vice Admiral
Makaroff it was officially announced that the
torpedo boat destroyer BezstraShni was cut off
from the rest of the Russian feet at Port
Arthur aud sunk by the japanese and that As
of her crew were lost.
The ba,tleship Pobieda, il was also declared,
accidentally struck mine while maneuver-
ing, but was able to return to the harbor with
out loss of life.

THEIR HANDS
ACROSS SEA
Pilgrims of London and New York
Dine simultaneously and
Confer by Cable.

LONDON, Jan. 3O-While the Amer
lean branch of the Pilgrims society
was giving its dinner last night at Del
monico's in New York in honor of Sir
Henry Mortimer Durand, British am
bassadOr TO the United States, the Eng
lish branch of the society celebrated
the occurrence with supper at the
Carlton hotel
Shortly before the Delmonico ban
quet commenced some seventy men,
bers of the Pilgrims society here sat
down to a number Of small tables which
wore all looped up with telegraph wires
strung on miniature poles and decorat.
ed with foliage. Among those present
were; Joseph II. Choate, the American
ambassador; the Earl of Halsbury, lord
high chancellor; Sir Edward L. Du-
rand, brother Of Sir Henry; Sir Thorn
as Upton, Lord Deerhurst, Lord Fair
fax, Sir Alfred Lewis Jones, John Hen
mixer HeatOn, Secretary Carter Of the
United States embassy, Moberly Bell,
Rev. William Macdonald Sinclair, arch
deacon Of London, and Alexander Sic
mems. Several well known Pilgrims,
Including Lord Roberts and Admiral
Lord Charles Beresford, zho are both
i'll, sent regrets,
The unique feature Of the evening
consisted in the Installation by trans
atlantic cable company of cable instru-
ments In one end Of the supper room.
By means of this arrangement frequent
messages were exchanged between Del.
monico's, in New York, and the Carlton
hotel here. so that the English pilgrims
felt almost as much In touc.f with the
New York celebration as if they had
been actually present.
Two old grandfatherG' clocks, one
showing English and the other Ameri-
can time, enabled Mr. Choate the Earl
of Halsbury and the others to keep an
eye on the progress of the New York
banquet. The usual cable company's
clock, with a red hand showing Ameri-
can time, was placed between the two
old grandfather clocks and noticeably
marked the progress of the age.
Strands of the Atlantic cable laced
upon the tables enabled the guests to
realize the means by which such in
Simultaneous and intimate interchange
was possible in spite of the difficulties
Of distance and the difference in time.
The name of Sir Henry Mortimer Du-
rand was, when pronounced, given a
warm welcome.
