Wentz, of Philadelphia asking whether he had made certain statements published in recent issues of the public press.
 The statements supposed to have come from Dr. wentz criticized the verdict of the jury and were so wild that the mem bers of the jury doubt whether pr. Wentz made them. No further action will be taken until an answer to this telegram is received.

HIS SWORD FOR THE CzAR.
Marchand VIII OKer His Services ts
 the Russians.

Paris, May 14.-General Baron Rebil- lot, a leading figure in the French army and a friend of Colonel Marchand whose resignation from the army was accepted yesterday, says Colonel Mar chand probably will offer his sword and services to Russia. Such a step by the hero. of Fashoda would give dra- matic sequel to his retirement in dis grace from the French army.
 NJ. Marchand's period of arrest expires next Tuesday. when some of his friends assert he will enter politics and make another Bouianger campaign.
 General Rebiilot's suggestion that Marchand may ,enter the Russian army appears more likely to be true as the Russians have a high appreciation of his military genius.

The Benefit Of PaImlstrY.

Very often people are found who
are skeptical on the BENEFITS OF PAIN
istry but we will endeavor to show "A
few reasons why young men jusl en-
tcring life and young women VINO cN.
pcct TO marry and have a home Of
their own, should consult a scientific
p1list We examine the lines Ia
a hand, perhaps we find line show
ing excessive high temper q man
whose business is his whole world,
very impatient loyablc, but not dem.
onstratiyc. We then examine the
laiy's palm and therein find every
line different, woman whose soie
purpose in life is the love OF husband,
home and children. Just imagine tac
union Of two people-no cOngenlality
but love at first to soon change 70
hate as their pastimcs and pleasures
are never in common The husband
only thinks of business and tcrgcts
the many little afectlonate acts that
are expected of nm by his wife and
She, thinking and believing that this
forgctrulness is due to cOilncss ana
perhaps love for another, also grows
, cold in her love, neither understand
ing each other and drifting further
apart daily.
Now, we take the youth, Just enter
ing manhood. Perhaps his father Is
successful business man, lawyer or
mechanic. He has great aspirations
for his boy, and II a monied mechanic
will perhaps put him in a law school
, or try to make a physician Of him,
and il he is not adapted TO this pro
fcssiUn, az his hand will show, We
| therefore have a bad lawyer and n
! spoiled mechanic. On the other hand
had this parent gone 20 a scientific
palmist and had his sons hand eX.
Iamines, he would have known what
to 10 with him for his future success
and II Is the same throughout the hu.
man race with every class Poor
mothers striving to make artists and
musicians of their daughters, when
perhaps they are only longing to be.
como good book-keepers, milliners
and dross-makors Every day we
meet people rubbing against each
other one is wealthy the other poor,
though twenty years ago they started
out with even prospects We are
construed to ask why Is this? We
know the latter has striyen with all
his might but has attained nothing.
The reason Is the man Of wealth has
been fling all these years the posi-.
tIln best adapted TO him, while the
other has been plodding along In
many yOcations, but has never found
his true calling. We are therefore
constrained TO believe that the old

production and an extremely strong

This simple announcement will awak-

has read Wescott's book and found
much enjoyment in It. That they will
want to see David, Aunt Polly, Dca-

who move through the story on the
stage seems but natural. The New

breaker in the matter of receipts and
It claimed attention there for sixteen
weeks For six weeks it ran in Chi

The adaptation from the book was
made by Ripley and NJ w. Hitch
cock and they are said TO have taken
very few liberties with It, adherlng
very close to the stCry so sNilfully
woven by WeScott All Of the scenes
are laid in bonneville, ~ Y, and the

NO NEWS OF A DASH BY
PORT ARTHUR FLEET

ST. Petersburg, Oct. z. 2:20 a. m.-
While the admiralty claims to have
no knowledge of the departure of the
Port Arthur squadron, it is inferable
from the way in which the reports are
received that such an event may have
transpired and that definite confirma-
tion would not create surprise. The
Associated Press Is informed that no
direct orders have been sent to Ad-
miral Wiren to break through the
blockading fleet, but it is tacitly ad-
mitted that the admiral has dlscre-
tionary powers to leave Port Arthur
should the situation demand or condi-
tions be propitious.
In naval circles It is pointed out
that Wednesday morning the condi-
tions might have been favorable for
a sortie Heavy storms ragged Tues
day. and doubtless compelled the block
aiding vessels, and particularly the tor
pedo boats, to seek shelter. thus leav-
ing the way clear for a dash to Vladlv-
ostok. Some naval officers, however,
are inclined to think the firing that
was heard at Che Foo may only have
been directed at blockade runners.

THE WAR COMMISSION
HELD ON TO ITS NEWS.

ST. Petersburg. Oct. Z, 4:1O a. M
Inc War Commission sat until an un-
usually late hour tonight, but ad-
Jourhed without issuing additional
news from the front.
Expert opinion is divided as ia
whether a serious engagement is likely
TO occur at Mukden, but the dispatch
Irom that city reporting an unusual
aClVlty there, gives rise to much spec
uIatlon. 1t is impossible to saw Wheth-
er thls condition presages the evacua-
tion of Mukden. but in any case it is
evident that something of unusual in
terest IS impending. Some even are
oold enough to take it that Gen. Ku-
ropatkln is preparing to assume the
offensive; but in view of the facts that
most reliable advices credit him with
only about six divisions at Mukden,
this is exceedingly improbable. It is
thought more likely that the commo-
ton had to do with one or other of the
Japanese fianking columns, which the
RUSSIAN commander may have been
preparing to check.

PARKER WON'T SPEAK.
Not Disposed to Make a stump Can
vass for Votes.

N0ss for Votes.
New York, Oct. 6.-Chairman Tag
gart, at Democratic headquarters
gave out the following statement to-
day:
shortly after his nomination Judge
Parker set about the consideration of
his course of action toward the con-
duct of the campaign. He consulted
many men of large experience i'm such
matters, and made an examination of
the course of every successful candi-
date. That done. he decided, as it was
necessary for him to do, what his
course should be, and he caused that
decision to be made generally known.
1t was to the effect that he would not
go upon the stump; that such speeches
as he should deem II desirable tomake
could be made at Rosemount, following
in that respect the Mckinley precedent
of 1896.
THAT decision made and announced,
he proceeded to work along the lines
he had marked out for himself. He
he decided rightly, and no amount of
entreating would bulge him. His rec
ord during all mis- life proves that cla-
NOR will not move him one iota- The
incident is closed, and those in charge
of the campaign fully approve of the
determination of Judge Parker"
Judge Parker has been importuned
to speak in various states, and to-
days announcement is designed to pre-
vent further similar requests.

BL 0CKADlNG FLEET
WATCHING THE JUNKS.

Toxic, Oct. 6, 10 a. m.-The Port
Arthur blockading fleet has captured
a junk laden with provisions. The
junk was endeavoring to enter the har-
Dor. The statements of the crew and
evidence found aboard the junk indi-
cate the existence of a fleet of eighty
junks, organized to run the blockade
from the vicinity of Tsingtau.
Despite the vigilance of the block
aiding fleet, many junks reach the
Russian lines at a number of landing
places on the lower end of the penin-
sular. The junks enter at night, the
Russian guns and mine fields giving
them an advantage over the vessels of
the blOckading fleet.
While it is suspected that ammuni-
tion is being smuggled, none has yet
been found in the hundreds of junks
that have been overhauled and search
ed
