Rnsslan Whit-Nlonday.

st. Petersburg, June 19-(5:20 p. m1 This was Whit-Monday and great religious holiday. Private as well as house business was suspended. At the foreign office only about half dozen officials were on duty and they de- clared Russia had not yet been ap- prised of Japan's wishes as to the time of the peace meeting or the number of plenipotentiaries but the officials indicated that Russia would be found willing to meet Japan's wishes. Any number of plenipotentiaries from one to three is agreeable to Russia. In addition to the names of Ambassador Nelidoff and Baron Rosen, the name of Prof. De Martens, professor of in- ternational law at the University Of St. Petersburg. and a member of the international arbitration court, is now mentioned as Is also the suggestion that Count Cassini might possibly be one of the plenipotentiaries. If the opinion which prevails at the foreign ofice that Japan in- tends to send Marquis Ito and possibly other statesmen from Japan is true, it Is pointed out that the meet ing cannot occur within month. In the meantime so far as indicated here there have been no moves in the dl- rection of suspension of hostilities. No confirmation has been received here of the report from Godzyadani of June 17, that negotiations for an armistice had been begun between Field Marshal Oyama and General Linevitch. On the contrary the latest news from the front leaves little doubt that Oyama's columns are In motion and disquieting rumors are current here regarding the position of the Russian army accord ing to which Oyama succeeded in push ing both his Hanks far forward re- spectively opposite Knanhzngtsu and KirIn whence he can draw moose around troops below this line.

AHEAD OF TIME.
The Twentieth Century Limited Does
 its Work We'll.


 The Twenfieth Century Limited Doe.
 its work Well.
 New York, June l9.-With exactly three minutes to spare and the belief that even quicker time readily can be made if desired fully verified, the New York CentraPs new Twentieth Century Limited roled into the Central Station at 9:27 a. m. today at the end of the first run from Chicago to New York on an eighteen hours schedule.
 Martin Ryan, the man who guided the first twentieth Century train out of New York when the New York Cen tral inaugurated the twenty-four-hour schedule between this city and Chicago, was at the throttle on the run down from Albany. The last half of the jour- ney from Buffalo to this city had been completed in comparatively easy stages. At times during that. portion of the run speed averaging seventy miles an hour or even better was made, but the fastest time of the trip was made during the early part of the journey. When the train reached Buffalo twenty five minutes ahead of her schedule, there remained no necessity for record breaking time and the train came through the remaining distance prac- tically on the schedule which has been in use for several years.
 George H. Daniels. general passenger agent of the New York Central, said of the run: While no record as far as I know was kept of the time be- tween stations, between Chicago and Buffalo. understand a speed of eighty miles an hour was maintained between Chicago and Elkhart, Ind. and almost as great at several other points. nota- bly between Cleveland and Erie. As a matter of fact. the entire two hours difference between the new Twentieth Century Limited and the old, schedule of twenty hours between New York and Chicago. was made up on the Lake Shore end of the run. The schedule between Buffalo and New York was exactly the same as that of the twenty hours train,"

How the Evil One Came to be Popu-
 laFly Known as '|The old Scrateh.''
 One of the many familiar names of his satanic majesty is The Cid Scratch" It is undoubtedly due to the fact that scratching Is so disagreeabls that people thought 1t no worse than the evil one. A scalp full of dandruff keeps one scratching all the times not |only dlsagreeable but considered very inelegant in polite soriety--as It should be--because one ought to keep the scalp so clean that 1t would not itch. To cure the scalp of dandruff effec- lively. use Newbro's Herpieide, It kills the germ that creates the dand- ruff. which Is preliminary to falling hair, and, finally, baldness. No other hair preparation kills the dandrun germ. Herpicide also is a very de- lightful and effective hair-d dressing. Sold by leading druggists. send 10c. in stamps for sample to The Herpicide co.
