Advertising
Creates Value

One OF the receivers Of the National
Salt company testified in court that n
certain trademark was considered "a
valuable asset" ns 1t was the brand Of
salt that brought the highest price and
had II good market.
Asked how this salt was different
from other salts sold by the company,
the receiver, hesitating. admitted that
there was no difference: that they all
came out of the same kettle. When
the court then inquired what caused
the high price and good market for
this particular product the witness re-
piled;
"StmPly the extensive and nttrac-
tive advertising the brand got"
One thought suggested by this curl
GUS confession is the testimony It

OYSTER BAY, L. l., Aug. 5.-Repre-
sentatives of Japan and Russia who
have come to this country to enter into
a conference looking to the negotiation
of peace treaty were formally intro
duced to each other today by President
Roosevelt on board the Mayflower.
When both peace commissioners had
been received and formally presented to
each other they were entertained at
luncheon on the Mayflower. At the
luncheon the president proposed the fol-
lowing toast:
Gentlemen: propose a toast to
which there will be no answer and to
which 1 ask you to drink in silence,
standing. 1 drink to the welfare and
prosperity of the sovereigns and peoples
of the two great nations whose repre-
sentatives have met one another on this

prayer in the interest Of not only these
two great powers but of all mankind
that a just and lasting peace may
speedily be concluded between them"
President Roosevelt left the May

Hill. Ten minutes later the Japanese

STRICKEN WITH APHASIA

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Thrown into
a At of aphasia by a flash of light
ming last Sunday, Josephine Donohue
of Brooklyn was found last night wan
dering aimlessly about the streets of
Huntington, l.. l., many miles from her
home in Brooklyn.
Meantime the police of Prospect park
had been dragging the lake for her body
and a general hunt about the city had
been instituted.
Miss Donohue, who is SS years OF
age, was listening to a band concert
in the park when the storm suddenly
broke. A bolt of lightning struck a
tree near by and the woman, leaping
from bench where she was sitting
with her father, ran shrieking from the
park She was soon lost and a con-
stant search during four days produced
no trace of her.
How she reached the Long Island
town is mystery. From what can be
learned the woman ran through the
park in the downpour of rain, board
ed a trolley car and later changed to
a steam train which carried her far
from the scene where she had been
stricken.

LONDON, Aug. 5.-Sir Victor Hors-

Telfener, a sister of Mrs. John w.
Mackay, one of the most wonderful
operations ever conceived, much less
executed.
For twenty years the countess has
been a martyr to neuralgia. She tried
every sort of cure in England and in
America, but fruitlessly. During the
last six months continuous pain was
threatening her reason, and she agreed
to submit to the knife. 1t was such an
appalling process that one of the
nurses tainted, but it was success.
First of all a part Of the skull was
sawn away. Then the whole brain was
taken out and a nerve, which had
caused all the pain. literally torn away.
The brain was then replaced and the
scalp wound sewed up.
This was a fortnight ago. and Coun-
tess Telfener has not had the slightest
twinge of the old pain since. Indeed,
except for the Inconvenience of the OUT
side wound she is in good health.

noted reactionist senator, assailed the
paragraph, and pointed out it's wide
limitations to the autocracy of the en-
peror, and Gen. Trepoff, assistant min
lister of the interior, In a strongly
worded address, declared that such
limitations were imperatively needed by
the country and the people. The para
graph was then passed unanimously.
Another debate arose over the pro-
vision for the admission of representa-
tives of the press at sessions of the
assembly and the publication Of the
proceedings, but this was also adopted
after Gen. Trepoff and Grand Duke
vladimir had spoken In favor of the
fullest publicity.
The discussions at Peterhoff give color
to current report that Emperor
Nicholas and the grand dukes appear
to be the most liberal-minded and the
most truly anxious for reform among
the members of the conference. A re-
script addressed to Minister of the In
terror Bouligan directing him to pre-
pare plans for the assembling of rep
resentatives of the people. was issued
March 8, and the work has been stead
lily in progress during the intervening
five months.
While the emancipation code OF 1861,
the Magma Charta of the Russian pea
SAINTS, and the zemstvo ukase of 1854
freed the serfs and established local
self government they gave the Russian
subject no share in the imperial gov
ernment. The convention of legis-
lative assembly will give him his first
political rights.
Completed. the project will fall short
of the expectations of the extreme
liberals, who will be satisfied with
nothing less than constitution OF the
latest model, and while 1t win be
specially unpleasant to the school Of
Pobiedonotseff and to the reaetionary
league of Russian patriots" the great
mass of people is manifesting a dispo-
sition to accept the concessions OF the
autocracy in good faith, being confident
that the faults of the system will rem
edy themselves by practice
The absence OF provision for uni
versal, direct and secret suffrage un-
doubtedly will cause complaint from
political theorists; but the decision of
the Bouligan commission and the coun-
ell Of ministers In favor of indirect rep
resentation seems to be based not on a
desire to make the assembly unrepre-
sentative, but on the belief that some
intermediate step is necessary to en-
able the masses of the uneducated to
choose their representatives wisely.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 6.--After
months of preparation and anxious
waiting the project for a new popular
representative assembly, an innova-
tion to the Russian political system Of
greater importance than the emanci-
patton of the peasantry or the estab-
lishment of zemstvos in the COS, is now
undergoing final revision, and its COM
cletion and promulgation are thought
to be a matter of days only. The en-
peror, 1t is well known, hopes to sig
alize the first birthday of the infant
heir apparent by a manifesto sum-
moning the representatives of the peo-
pie, and during the long meetings of
the committee at Peterhof last week he
has driven the work of revision as fast
as possible, In order to have it finished
before August IL.
The nature of the future assembly
cannot be stated with exactness until
the labors of the commission are
finished, and Emperor Nicholas sets
the seal of his approval on the work.
1t is understood however. that the
councillors thus far have recommended
no sweeping changes in the project as
it came from the hands OF the council
Of ministers.
The reactionaries at yesterdays ses-
sion of the commission at Peterhof
made a strong effort to secure the re-
lection or alteration OF two important
provisions OF the project, but the SEN
timent or the commission and the
wishes Of the emperor prevented any
step backward.
At the previous sessions the en-
peror's advisers continued to discuss
the needs OF the country with remark
able frankness. The article over which
the main conflict arose comprised para

GETS HER WAGES
AND DISAPPEARS
SERVANT GIRL REPORTED AS
STRANGELY MISSING
Rose QuIn Last Seen Going Down
Town With Considerable Money,
Watch and Rings In Her
Possession

T. w. Brotherton of TAO Hartford ave
nue. reported to the police last nigh
that Rose Quin, servant girl in his
employ, had disappeared.
Miss Quin left the house at z O'Clock
on Friday evening for the purpose Of
paying a visit to Mrs. Frank Meyers
of 300 Clarence street. She left the
Meyers residence at o'clock, stating
that she intended calling at the post
office for her mail on the way home
She has not been heard from since.
Mr.. Brotherton said last night: u
know nothing of Miss Quin's antece-
dents, further than the fact that she
came to us from United States Engf-
neer Lippincott of 1856 West Adams
street, upon the recommendation Of
Mrs. Meyers, and that she was a quiet
unassuming girl about the house. Her
clothing and other effects are in the
house, and there seems to be no reason
for her sudden disappearance"
Mrs. Meyers said, in addition to the
statements made by Mr.. Brotherton:
Miss Quin is slight, dark complex
ioned Irish girl, perfectly contented
and happy, and her habits are regular
to the best of my knowledge. She
came to California from Washington
D. c., with the family Of Engineer Lip
pincott last April, and remained in his
household until his present trip to
Portland.
On Tuesday her wages had been paid
her, and at the time Of her disappear
ance she had considerable amount
of money, besides watch and some
rings.
"She left our house at o'clock and
started down the street to catch a
Westlake car at Fourth street. There
was a man behind her as she turned
the corner. but could not say that
he was following her." ~
When seen by a representative OF
The Herald last night the conductors
on the Westlake and Boyle Heights
car line stated that no woman answer
ing the description of the missing girl
had boarded any Of their cars on Fri
day evening.
The region of Clarence and Fourth
street is not of the best. Many Mexl-
can families live In this neighborhood.
and 1t is feared that Miss Quin may
have met with foul play.

VIII Issue Another Loan
BY Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 5.-The
government has decided on the issu-
ance Of another internal loan to the
amount of s1OO.OOO,OOo, Of which. how
ever, only s75.OOO,OOo may be issued at
first. The loan will be practically OF
the same nature and under the same
conditions as that OF March last. and
will probably be issued in about fort
night.

office was asked today to give his

MORE HOPEFUL OF PEACE
Russian Press Discusses Possibility of
Alliance With Japan

Alliance with Japan
BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 5.-The tone
of the press today is more hopeful OF
peace than it was yesterday, M. Whites
report partly tending to remove some Of
the Russian i'll feeling arising from the
belief prevailing here that American
sympathies are with Japan.
There is noticeably more or less talk
Of a possible Russo-Japanese alliance
as the outcome of the peace negotia-
tions. The question of an indemnity
and of the control Of Sakhalin are still
considered to be stumbling blocks in
the way Of an understanding, though
the argument is practically reiterated
In certain peace quarters that Presi-
dent Roosevelt would not have risked
his prestige by a second tender OF good
offices without having learned the
minimum Japanese demands and the
maximum Russian concessions and
without pretty clearly seeing his way
by his personal influence to the putting
aside of whatever differences may bar
the way to the bringing about Of peace
The Slovo says, in part. that Russia
needs lasting peace and that such a
peace can only come through an alli-
ance with Japan. 1t hopes that the
special powers with which M. Witte is
invested will permit him to deal with
the question of impossible alliance but
deprecates the possibility masked by
an indemnity. in connection with such
an alliance.

CATALINA MAY
HAVE RAILROAD
HUNTINGTON SAID TO PLAN
SCENIC LINE
MATERIAL NOW ON ISLAND
Belief Is General at Avalon That the
Railway Magnate owns Property
and VIII Make II World
Famous Resort

Materials for railroad construction
which during the past few days have
been unloaded at the wharf at Avalon
and the general activity which is being
shown there are facts which are giving
additional foundation to the reports
to the effect that H. p. Huntington
has purchased Catalina island and has
plans for improvements which will
make the property one of the finest
summer and winter resorts in the west.
A boat load of railroad ties and other
railway materials was unloaded at the
wharf Friday and it Is said that Mr..
Huntington will shortly begin the
construction of an electric railway
along the coast line from Avalon to the
Isthmus; thence along the seaward
side to Silver canyon.
Inhabitants of the island are firm in
their belief that Mr. Huntington has
purchased the property from the Ban
nings; this in spite of the repeated de-
malls of the latter, who say that they
have just lately placed Catalina in a
condition SO that it is paying propo-
sition.
Huntington Ownership
The recent completion Of the Pacific
Electric line to San Pedro and Mr..
Huntington's proposition during the
past week to construct large wharves,
docks and warehouses at the seaport
town, they say, lend additional confir-
%
toms ownership and intended exploita-
tion of the island, as does also the ap-
pearance of surveying gang at work
near Avalon.
In discussing the subject local rail-
road official said:
"While the Bannings during the past
few years have expended large sums
of money in the Improvements at Ava
lon, the remainder of the island is in
practically it's original state At the
Isthmus the only buildings of import
ance are the old government barracks,
while at Middle Ranch there are even
fewer improvements.
"a scenic railway, such as it is be-
leved is contemplated, would far
eclipse any of Mr.. Huntington's pre-
vious attempts along this line, not even
excluding the Mt. Lowe incline.
''The fine stage road of easy grade
which has been constructed across the
island would provide an excellent road
bed for an electric railway The length
Of the island is twenty miles, but this
distance Is almost multiplied by the
circuitous route which the steepness OF
the hills makes necessary"
