PEACE WILL BENEFIT
TRADE WITH EAST

The war between Japan and Russia
and the peace settlement will have an
important effect on transportation in
America, according to Sir Charles Evan
Smith of London. one Of the most dis
tinguished authorities on transportation
in the world. Sir Charles Smith is
president of the Marconi wireless sys-
tenn and Of a number of street railway
systems, including the state tramways
in Mexico and railways in Portugal
and Chill. He is in the twin cities for
two or three days on his way east after
an extensive tour Of this country and
Mexico. He says:
GAS result Of the war the market
for American wheat and -four should be
greatly broadened in Japan. A period
of great prosperity for transportation
companies should ensue, and commerce
between the United States and Japan
will, I think, be- materially stimulated
Japan acted wisely in making con-
cessions which RESULTED in peace. AS
it is, she is left supreme in the far east
She has an alliance with Great Britain
and will probably not be molested in
the near future.'' :.

DROWNING FULFILLED
A SEER'S PREDICTION

A fortune teller g prediction was real
lied yesterday. afternoon, when William
J. Schiffman, 81 years old, living with
his parents at PSI. Selby avenue, st.
Paul, was drowned in White Bear lake.
He was the son Of W. w. Schiffman
and nephew of DR.. Rudolph Schiff-
man.
Several years ago a seer prophesied
to Mrs. Schiffman that her son would
be drowned during September, 1905.
The mother thought little Of the warn
when her son told the family that he
was going to spend the day at the lake.
The doleful prophesy was the subject
Of jest at the Schiffman breakfast table
and the young man was told to learn
to swim at his earliest opportunity.
Mr.. Schiffman was out on the lake in
a canoe with Everett Brown: A squall
struck the light bark and it was i'm
mediately capsized. Young Brown was
able to keep ahoat by hanging to the
canoe, but his companion, who could
not swim stroke, sank and was not
seen again. Brown was rescued after
being nearly exhausted.

drawback has been that thin. nervous. dyspeptic
