Letter TO J. T. HeIdret,h,
Tazewen, Va.

Dear Sir: Here's something every
painter and builder ought 10 know.
Mr.. j. j. Hall, Sheffield, Pa, painted
two houses, . years ago, lead and-oil:
took 40 gallons. Last year. he painted
Devoe; bought 10 gallons; had 10 left.
He Is one OF thousands. The know
ledge is getting about pretty generally.
that Devoe goes further than anything
else.
Have you found it out in your own
experience?
How much further?
Suppose a job amounts to 10000
square feet; how much less Devoe
could you buy?
Is 1t rs easy TO paint? Does il cost
any more OF less to put-on by the gal
Ion than anything else? how much?
If it costs no more TO put-on Devoe
10y the gallon, it costs less by the foot.
you know; for the gallon does more
feet. How much less, do you find it..
for wages?
Lasts, say, twice as long; that is the
owners gain; but perhaps you reckon
1t yours; some do. The time. when
that comes in, is when he gives out
the next Job.
Yours truly
f. w. DEvOE x Co.

Japanese Still WarIike.

According to dispatch from Lidzia-

in Maechuria was reported yesterday
afternoon to be preparing fer battle.
The same correspondent says the Jap
enese soldiers are dissatisfied with the

The bellicose attitude of the Japanese
is startling, when taken in consideration
with the fact that the peace treaty is to
be signed at O'Clock this afternoon at
Portsmouth.

attacks by large japanese artillery forces.

Portsmouth, N. H., Sept 5.-The
simple ceremony of signing the peace
treaty between Japan and Russia will
take place at 3 O'Clock this afternoon.
The conference hall in the navy yard,
which has been the scene of the memoir
able diplomatic battle which has lasted
almost four weeks, will be the place
where the plenipotentiaries of the two
empires will affix their signatures to the
document, which is to end the blOodiest
war of modern times, bid each other
farewell, and adjourn sine die.
After the protocol has been approved,
and signed, the final engrossed copies of
the treaty must be read and compared.
This will all take time, and the actual
signing of the treaty will, therefore,
probably not take place until after four
O'Clock this afternoon. There are four
copies in English and two in French, all
of which are to be signed. Quill pens
have been provided by Secretary Peirce
for the purpose.
The japanese will return at once to
the hotel to complete preparations for
departure tomorrow morning. The Rus
sian party will also leave for New York
tomorrow morning, travelling by spe-
cial train placed at their disposal by j.
P. Morgan. After the signing of the
treaty this morning they will go to
Christ Episcopal Church at Portsmouth,
where they will celebrate special
thanksgiving service to commemorate
the conclusion of peace. 1t will be the
6rst of its kind ever held in this country.

the first time broke away from the Sc

make record time on the run from Charl-
ton to Worcester. Going at almost ex-
press train speed, the big car leaped off
the track at tangent, crashed down the
rocky embankment, turning over as it
fell, and dashed itself TO splinters at the

Russia and Germany.

Birmingham, Eng, Sept. 5.-The
Post today states that information has
reached the foreign Office from two differ
ant sources to the effect that a secret
treaty is in couuse of negotiation, if one
has not already been signed, between Rus
STA and Germany. Only the most
meagre particulars can be learned in re-
gard to this treaty, but all the facts
which have developed go to show that
the agreement is most significant. The
treaty, it is stated, refers solely to the
situation in the far East, and it may be
regarded as an answer to the treaty be-
tween England and Japan, which was
recently ratified. The Post takes the
ground that it would not be surprising
if explosive" developments should fol-
low as the result of this new secret agree
ment, especially in view of the opening
which is offered for argument afforded
by the YaDg-Tse agreement of 1899 be-
tween Germany. and Great Britain. II
is expected that Germany will soon show
some activity in the Yang-Tse region,
which may bring matters to head.
