M.y Come in a Fortnight.

But Mt the war office here there is d.
difference of opinion as to whether
Oyama is yet ready. and ii is added
that If he is in earnest probably almost
fortnight will elapse before the issue
is decided. the preliminaries of each OF
the battles OF the present war, in view
of the fact that the armies cover such
a large area. having always been long
and tedious.
Up to yesterday the Russian advance
posts generally had retired about
eighteen miles. If Oyamas offensive
is pressed home the climax should be
reached about the time the sea fight
between Rojestvcnsky and Togo is
anticipated. I.inevitch's headquarters
are at Gunshu pass.

ST Petersburg. May 10.-Interest is
once more directed to Mancnuria The
news from the front indicate that
Field Marshal Oyama is pressing Gen.
Linevitchs advance posts east and
west of the railroad with considerable
force, as if about to undertake a gen.
eral offensive movement. The Rus
slams are offering slight resistance and
are falling back upon their first line of
defense. The Russian advance posts
cover a front of about 100 miles, eN-
tending from Singtmantsu on the Lao
river !n southeasterly direction
across the railroad above Changtu to
the Mandarin road leading TO Kirin 10
Kamal pass. about seventy miles due
east of Tie pass.
Cavalry on the Fanks.
The Russian cavalry protects bot.
wings small bodies being probably be-
yond the Lao river in Mongolia to
guard against a surprise turning
movement i'm that direction. Experts
believe. however, that Oyama's purpose
is to thrust in from the east turn
Kirin. and interpose himself between
Hardin and Nladivostok, preparatory
to the investment of the latter place.
Iinevitch's dispositions seem especially
taken to meet such a plan.
He would not give battle along his
present line. but would gradually re-
tire and draw in his forces as Oyamas
strategy develops to the main Russian
positions. which extend due east and
west from kirin through Kuanchang-
tsu to Huaitaihsien. A considerable
force of troops is also reported to be
due east of kirin. as far south as the
Fumen river, to contest the Japanese
advance northeastward toward Nladi-
voStok.
1t is not regarded as certain the Jap
anese advance will really be serious
Oyama is known to have received
large achievements which have filled
up the Japanese ranks, and he brought
up immense quantities of supplies and
ammunition after the battle of Muk-

PEORIA, H., Oct. 28.-The!r faith
in humanity shaken by the recent sen
sational disclosures following the In
dictment of Newton C. Dougherty for
the embezzlement of hundreds OF
thousands OF dollars of school funds
the Peoria ministers have decided on
a monster revival to extend over the
entire city. Plans were laid for EN-.
ploying the most noted and successful
evangelists in the world, including DR..
Torrey of Chicago, who is now sweep.
ing London with wave OF reform /;
DR.. Chapman, and others.
The need of reform in Peoria seem
ed to come over the ministers sudden.
ly and their regular meeting resolved
itself in to a prayer service In which
every member present prayed for the
salvation of the city and that faith
might be restored to the community
which had suffered such e shock.
''Dougherty has shaken the city to
its very foundations," they said. "Peo.
pie have begun to lose confidence in
one another, and something must be
done. In the schools, over which the
indicted prisoner presided for twenty
years. held up as a model man, there
has come feeling of distrust, and
the children do not seem to be 90
ready to believe the lessons which are
taught them by their teachers."
AS sequence to the impromptu
prayer meetings Of the Ministerial
association It was decided to hold a
preparatory week of prayer. beginning
next Monday at the Congregational
church. Every afternoon thereafter
between the hours Of and 8. the min
listers OF the gospel will hold services
and impress the people with the ne

fellow townspeople.

her to some extent but never gavs
her the slightest suspicion that she
was undergoing any sexual change.
| 1t was a little over two weeks aeu
that Miss Best was brought to q sud
den realization Of her condition. She
knew then for the first time that she
was not a woman but man. She
was prostrated by the blow and con-
/ suited her physician.
DR.. Finley was brought into the
case, and he had Miss Best removed to
the French Benevolent hospital, where
an operation was performed which
confirmed what Miss Best had sus-
pected.
When the news was broken to Miss
Best she was very Ill for time. She
was told. however, that outside of the
shock she had nothing to fear. that
she could assume ths sex of a man
freely and without embarrassment
but that 1t was obviously impossible
for her to continue to live as vom-
an, Miss Best left the hospital in
the clothing in which she entered and
went TO her home in Brooklyn There
arrangements were quickly made for
her removal to st. Louis. from which
point she will make her plunge into
the world as man. Before Miss
Best could leave, however, the realixa.

her Frustrated her again, and she has

LIVES LONG AS WOMAN,
NOW DECLARED A MAN

NEW YORK, Oct 2S.-Miss May
Best. an estimable woman OF Brook
lyn, who has lived the life of the sex
10 which she was born for "a years,
has been transformed into a man.
Miss Best went into the French Be-
nevoient hospital two weeks ago Even
then the strange change was creeping
over her and mascullnity was assum-
Ing dominance. She came out OF the
Institution after an operation some
days ago man.
The completion Of the metamorpho-
sis left her a woman in experience
and ideas but man in form and phys
ical attributes,
The necessity for new environ.
ment new start in life, was i'm
pressed upon her by DR.. Claude n
Finley, the physician VINO had charge
OF the case. and she will go to st.
Louis, there to don male attire as
sumo a new name and fit herself for
the life which this amazing freak has
neccssitated.
From childhood Miss Best was a
strong, robust girl. with an abnormal
fondness for the sports of boys. AS
to play baseball and done other man
nish things, but was restrained by q
sense of delicacy.
As a young woman she was tall
broad snouldered and very handsome
with Jet black hair and blue eyes. She
was strong. had rather large hands
and feet for woman, and walket
with a mannish stride. In spite o
these things, n slight harshness o
voice and the increasing growth o
hair on her face, she never had tn,
slightest suspicion of the change II
life she was undergoing. Her ideal
remained feminine: her tastes wer
feminine: she chose girl companions
She painted, sewed and did all the ott
er things that women do. She ha
men friends and girl friends and wa
popular with both.
Miss Best devoted herself to se'
eral women's clubs to which she b,
longed. to her church and to her cha
table work, living life of usefu
ness and endearing herself more an
more to her friends.
Miss Best was always aware OF tn
streak Of mannishness in her. but di
not think II was any greater tha
had manifested itself In many oths
women whom she had seen. She di
not think seriously Of the matter Il
a few years ago. when her beard b
