In Regard to Peace.

81. Petersburg. April In an In
terview with your correspondent to-
day Russian officials explained why
Russia takes such a Arm stand on
the subject OF refusing to pay an in
demnity to japan. Russla's position
Is based on the ground that the war
Is being conducted In neutral terrific
ny, and Il is without a precedent that
the victor should demand indemnity.
unless II has occupied the defeated
nations territory. Japan's answer to
this contention Is that all conditions
OF the present conflict are unprece-
dented, and the peace terms must be
the same.

GOOD MAN GONE
CAPT. DAVE MANTZ DIED TODAY
At THE CITY HOSPITAL.
Was Native of Smithland-Icaves
Few Relatives But Host of
Friends.

Capt. David Mantz died this morn
ing about 8 o'clock at the city hos

illness. In his death one of the most
popular and one of the best river
men Of the old Smithland regime has

engineer for many years, serving on
some of the oldest and finest boats
that ever floated on rivers in this
part of the country. He was about 65
years old and unmarried and had
spent most of his life trying to make
those around him comfortable and
happy.
He had made Paducah his home
for several years past, and was able
to be on the street up to few weeks
ago. His condition suddenly became
worse, and for the past few days had
bsen critical.
Capt. MantZ had no near relatives
except his nephew, Mr.. Frank Mantz,
OF the Fowler boatstore, and his
nieces. the latter's sisters.
Only those who knew him we'll
understood what a noble man he
was. There never lived better
man" declared one OF his boyhood
companions today. II had known him
for half a century, and know that
everything he had belonged to his
few relatives and his friends. His
life had been one of self-sacrifice, and
yet he was joyial, optimistic and al
ways happy"
Capt. Mantz had hundreds OF
friends with whom he had come in
contact during a busy life, many OF
them scattered all over the country,
The remains were prepared for
burial at the Matil-Eifinger parlors
and will be shipped to his former
home in Livingston county for bur

He Kept the Prison Officials
Guessing for Sometime.
Played His Part ClcvcrIy and No
Doubt Received Aid From
Some Outside Person.
A LETTER IN INVISIBLE INK

II appears that Charles Culver
alias Spotty Wing, the safe blower,
given sixteen years in the Livingston
circuit court for safe blowing, had
successfully practiced his ruse be-
fore. While under arrest at Cincin-
natl he successfully feigned locomo-
tor ataxia until released from Jail,
when he suddenly recovered.
O. V. Green, of Hopkinsville. a
member of the prison board, is quot
ed in yesterdays Courier-Journal as
follows:
"The escape of Thomas Wing from
the Kentucky branch of the Eddy
vile prison Tuesday night is one Of
the most remarkable cases on rec
ord. He pretended for two years and
four months that he had locomotor
ataxia and did not walk a step, but
the first night that he was put in the
hospital he sawed his way out; got
through a hole too small for the pas
sage of an ordinary dog; left his
clothes behind and disappeared.
iht 10 q VI WIN lOHS lti-
ord and was arrested the last time in
Livingston on the charge of house
breaking. At the trial he pretended
that he had been smitten with loco
motor ataxia. He said that he had
lost the use of his limbs and he
played the part to perfection. The
authorities believed that he was fax
ing but could not prove 1t. He was
sentenced to serve sixteen years and
when he was put in prison he contin-
ued to pretend to be victim of the
Gis ease.
1T was just about two years and
four months ago tha, he was COM
mitted and from that day until Tues
Cay night, so far as any one knows,
he never wolked a step without as
pitiable plight. Whenever he had to
get up steps the other convicts had
to carry him. He was unable to do
any work and dragged himself about
in most laborlous manner when he
was not assisted.
"His condition appeared to be so
bad that efforts were made to get him
paroled. Some of the prison authori-
ties always believed he was taking,
but they could never get any evil
dence to substantiate their belief.
They watched. him closely to see If he
ever stopped acting. and he was new
er ,nce seen in the act of moving his
less.
1T was thought by some that he
exercisedNn the night and now this
theory seems to have been correct,
significant, but the authorities puz-
zled over Il long time before they
solved the question. Finally, 1t was
learned by heating the paper that a
letter was written on it in invisible
ink. This paper is now in the hands
of the United States postel authori-
ties
II is believed thai Wing made lfHs
as he would probably have lost the
use of his limbs II he had not exer-
cised in some way"
A short time ago a released con-
Wet sent Wing a newspaper with an
advertisement, in which there was n
great deal of white space marked in
blue pencil. The paper seemed to be
escape on foot and that he probably
began to run the moment his feet
touched the ground outside the pris-
on. No clew to his whereabouts has
cen found.

Frequent backache and distressing
pains, accompanied by offensive dis
charges and generally by irregular
and scanty menstruation indicate a dis
placement or nerve degeneration Of
the womb and surrounding organs.
The question that troubles women
is how can a woman who has some fc-
male trouble bear healthy children?
Mrs. Anna Potts, of $40 Park Avenue,
Hot Springs, Ark, writes:
Ny Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"During the early part of my married life /
was delicate in health ; both my husband and
l were very anxious for a child to bless our
home, but | had two Iniscarriages, and could
not carry a child to maturity. A neighbor
who had been cured by Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound advised me to try it. /
did so and soon felt that i was growing
stronger, my headaches and backaches left
me, | had no more bearing-lOwn pains, and
felt like a new woman. Within a year l
became the mother OF a strong, healthy
child, the joy Of our home Lydia E.. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound Is certainly n
splendid remedy, ara wish every woman
who wants 10 beoome Q H1otter woul9 tryit"
Actual sterility in woman is very
rare. II any womHu thinks she is ster-
lie, let her try q r. Pinkham's
Vegetable Comp md write 20 Mrs.

so well as has been given by Mr.. Jerome: You
people want your boys to be good. You don't
want them to be ~milksops, but you want them to be
good. When your girl grows up you want for her
husband a young man that has faith in something,
that turns out to be something"
1t will not hurt us once in awhile to acknowl-
edge to ourselves that we are good for something
Or for nothing. according as we make for good.
But ! think that we may safely say that we have a
hare OF the divine in us. For our progress is due
to God and man.

hasten back to the bathroom to wash again. She was constantly dong
this.
Another lady, having dressed to go out, would descend to the DIN
room and Immediately return to her bedroom to take of the articles
OF attire that she had just put on, Having done this, she proceeded
once more to dress.
This S a sort OF monomania. 1t denotes the borderland OF lnSanF
iy, and if these manias are not arrested they spread in other directions.
Insignificant as they appear when they originate, you should warn the
public against them Just as you would warn an individual afflicted with
a cough that il he does not exercise care his lungs will become dis
cased. Every mental complaint starts in a small way, and do not
say that these manias are necessarily OF an alarming nature; but do
assert that they indicate that something serious is looming in the dis
lance.
There is no doubt that these particular manlas are spreading. Men
and women are seized with an absurd idea, and the idea gradually be-
comes gigantic, no effort being made to disspate it
When they first show themselves, these manias are regarded as
being Of no significance, which is a grace mistake. They should be
attended to at the outset, in order that they may be prevented from
spreading,
Another popularity to be avoided is that of wishing to be unlike
anybody else, such as dressing in an extraordinary suit or costume.
AT the commencement, thiS. species OF mania may not be alarming, but
it is the precursor of mental arrangement, and should therefore be
checked as soon as possible.
There is a difference between eccentrcny and insanity. An ex-
centric is one who was born eccentric.
The decisions to which we are liable are countless. A mania that
has become frequent of late is that Of fancyng that one is under hyp-
motto inhuence-that one is wiled by an objectionable individual to DO
everything against ones inclination, This | regard as a bad form OF
insanity.
