The following quaint story Of Daniel
Webster and Jenny Lind is told in
Washington, the Capital City,"
It CHANGED that on the day Of Jenny
Lind's appearance several members of
the cabinet and senate were the guests
at dinner of the Russian minister, and
the concert was half over when Web

had subsidized the second part Of the
concert was opened by the gifted

Moon Worship I'm Britain.

Lunar superstitiOns fingered until a.
late period in the British islands. A
writer of the seventeenth century says:
I'm Yorkshire, ETC., nOrthward, some
country people doe worship the new
moon on their bare knees, kneeling ON
an earthfast stone. And the people of
Athol, in the highlands of Scotland, doe
worship the new MOON" Speaking of
the Irish, he continues, whether or no
they worship the moon know not, but
when they first see her after the change
they commonly bow the knee and say
the Lords Prayer and near the wane
address themselves to her. with. a, loud
voice after this manner, Leave us as

EddystOne Lighthouse.

The famous Eddystone lighthouse
stands fourteen miles off the coast of
Lands End and is perhaps the most
celebrated in the world. It has often
been used as an illustration by poets
and preachers, for no other lighthouse
is in such lonesome or dangerous
place. and none costs so much money
and trouble There are three keepers,
who live there with their families, and
two Of them-are always on duty, while
the third is on the main coast enjoying
a vacation. They relieve one another
each month, so that none of the keep
ers remain on duty more than two
months at a time. The change and
rest are said to be absolutely necessary
to preserve the nerves of the keepers.
The lighthouse is 1876 feet high, was
erected in 1882 at a cost of $4,000
and rises from a submerged rock. The
first lighthouse was erected on this
rock as long ago as 1897, but was
washed away six years after and was
not replaced for long time. The Sec
ond was burned down in 1775; the
third stood from 1867 to 1882 and was
famous in history

Street Arabs Who Rise.
Newsboys and street arabs often
make admirable clerks. The way they
work into commercial houses is aston
ishing. A large percentage Of public
and prosperous business men of Amer
lea began as newsboys, but probably
no one realizes how many work their
way up from the gutter to wealth and
influence. They begin as hangers on
and are recruited from the ranks of
every class Of street gamin. Their wits
have been sharpened by contact with
the sordid side of life and by observa-
ton in the school of the street. They
know the value of friends. So they are
to be found at the door Of every big
house. ready at any time to run an err
rand, always at hand to. pick. up an,

the people who regularly pass in and
out of the doors Of the place realize it

accustomed to see is on the payroll.

good naturedly offered to take them for

that they were waiting to be paid.

KANSAS CITY MARKETS
A Review of Prices and Conditions of
 the Past Week.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 4.-The heavy runs of cattle last week at all the markets contained a large per- centage of range, stuff resulting in lower prices on all'kinds ranging from 15 to 40 cents. least loss on she stuff. Quite good many cattle were on the market from the Rifle and Meeker dis trict,, steers selling at $500 to $35O. weighing 104O to 1900 pounds, cows and heifers $40 to $2.75. Receipts were mostly steers, however, and good to choice cows and heifers wese worth $2.75 to s3.25. Several trains of South Dakota cattle sold Tuesday and We'd nesday at $3.25 to $3.30. These sales were at about the low figure of the week, and not much change has been noted since. The supply is 16,000 cat tie, with a heavy representation of westerns and panhandles and prices on them are little lower than last week. Stock and feeding cattle sold lowest last week on Wednesday, when the best demand of the season sprang up, and by the end of the week the pens were well cleaned out. Illinois and Iowa buyers were here in large numbers and paid $500 to s3.75 for fair  10 good westerns, according to breed ing, flesh and color, while cattle lack ing in these qualities sold from $2.5O to $3.25. There was gain of 10 to 15 cents the last three days of the week and prices are steady. The corn crop in large area of the corn belt is now practically made and increased buying from that territory points to as good or better prices for country kinds of cattle as those now ruling, but present conditions do not warrant expectations of higher prices for beef cattle.
 The sheep market last week was the pest since the movement from the west began this season, Markets were ac- tive and fully steady each day. Every thing is selling out quickly. Several shipments of Utah lambs are here, "a pound lambs selling at s5.6O, best price Of season for grass lambs, 6S pound lambs at $5.50 and 65 pound lambs at $5.4O. Some IA pound mixed Utah ewes and wethers sold at S3.45. There are no yearlings here today, but good ones would bring s4OO or little better There is strong demand for feedins wethers and breeding ewes up to $3.6O for wethers and up to $3.30 for ewes and breeding ewes up to $3.60.

sible to constantly supply them with food and water, and the men have fought for days past, starving and parched with thirst.
 Although full details are lacking, of the fighting, the numbers engaged and the losses so far reported indicate that Liao Yang will prove to be one of the greatest battles of history. A dispatch received from Field Marshal Oyama announcing the fall of Liao Yang had the effect of bolstering up all the sub jects of the mikado Throughout the rejoicings here following the success Of the Japanese at Liao Yang the more thoughtful people took into account the exposure to which the right wing of Kurokis army was subjected, and it was held possible that the strength of the Liao Yang Qualifications would pre- vent the withdrawal of the bulk of the Russian forces there. Even now there is doubt concerning the number of Russians who have escaped, but there is no doubt about the victory at Liao Yang.
 Tokio is brilliantly illuminated to- night and crowds are parading the streets cheering the experts, Field Marshal Oyama and Generals Oku, kUToki and Nodzu.

General StakelberS's first Siberian army corps which was reported yester- day by General Kuropatkin as hay ing been cut off to the westward of Liao Yang, has been safely eXtricated. General Kuropatkin teiegraphed at [ o'clock Saturday evening that the greater portion of his army was then south of Yentai. about ten milth north east of Liao Yang, and that the other portion of it was crossing the Taitse river and taking up q position on the right bank. This message was receiv- ed by the emperor early Sunday morn ing and threw a more hopeful light on the position of the Russian army, and the authorities give signs of relief.
 There is no attempt, however, to con- ceal the gravity of the situation, Tn view of the absence Of news regarding what is happening today. It is not clear from the latest telegrams wheth- CT the Russians are continuing their retreat or if they have been compelled to face their foe.
 The war office is able to make a reas- suring statement that the Russian re- treat from Lao Yang did not involve the loss of the guns and 1t Is also dc clared that on the abandonment, the stores at Liao Yang were set fire by the Russians who afterward crossed the Taitse river

THIS IS OLD NEWS.
Concerning the Fight at the Yentai
 Mines.

Yentai, Sept. 3.-(delayed in trans mission )-The battle continued with great fierceness up to Friday. The Russians evacuated Liao Yang but got the bulk of their rolling stock across the r'ver safely. A new station with locomotives. trains, etc, was establish ed several versts north of the Taitse river as was also the general station for the Red Cross. On September 2, the fourth day of the battle of Liao Yang and the tenth of the general ad- vance, the battle commenced at dawn on both sides of the Taitse river The Japanese advanced early in the morn- ing in the direction of the Yentai mines, which were dfndd by twlvth mines which were defended by twelve ba;talions.
 Owing to the superiority of the Jap anese the Russian force was giving way preparatory to retiring on it's rear position when fresh men were brought up which enabled it to retain it's former position. From the left bank of the Taitse, the Japanese consistently bonn barded Liao Yang, the shells reaching as far as the railway station.
