WARS CASUALTIES ENORMOUS.
Number of Killed and Wounded iu
 1904 Will Exceed 100000.

Ascertaining losses by war opera. tons Is very difficult task. and yet approximate results have been secured, says Leslie's Weekly. It Is noteworthy, but no occasion for surprise, that the number killed and wounded In war during 1904 greatly exceeds that of 1903 by reason of the sanguinary con- test between Japan and Russia, in which lives have been recklessly sacrl- feed. The total loss for the year IS about 100000, as compared with S6000 in 1903, 25,000 in 1902 and 5000 in 1901.
 The total losses in the Russo-Japa- nese war have not been officially stat ed, but from the most reliable unofficial accounts they will amount to at least 3I0,000. Other losses have been as fol- lows: Armenia, including massacres, 7,S64; Tibet 6,492; Philippines, 3,239; Sumatra, 2,979; Africa, 3,114; Uruguay, 2,035; Macedonia, 500; santo Domingo, 240; Bulgaria, 239; Morocco, 50; Ara bia. 40
 Wellington used to say that 1t was impossible to tell the number of men lost by the French. nevertheless he put 30,00O or 10000 as the number on both sides killed at Waterloo. San guinary as has been the recent fighting between the Russian and Japanese ar mics, the results are less terrible than those of that day. Experience Is teach ing us that, murderous as are the weapons of modern make, the actual mortality in the battles of today Is not as heavy as in the time when ar maments were not, on paper, so dead ly.
 At Leipsic, where 100000 men were engaged, 90,00O men were lost. At Sa- dowa there were 430,O0O men, of whom the Prussians lost 1,147 officers and S,794 men, and the Austrians 3O,OOO. At Borodino there were 74,000 casual ties; at La Belle Alliance 61 1000. Tn our Civil War the greatest battle was at the Wilderness, where of the 142, GOO Federals, one-seventh were lost, and of the 52,000 Confederates a correspond. ing proportion. Deadlier still was Pittsburg Landing, where General Grant lost 25 per cent of his men.

 The estimated cost of the dam and power plants will be S320000O. Up ward of 100000 acres of land in the vicinity of Phoenix will be reclaimed. Most of this land is now in private ownership. In fact, practically all the land which will be furnished by the gravity system-that Is. without pump ing-is embraced in the lands of the Water Users Association, voluntary organization of the settlers who are to be benefited by this work, and which has pledged 100000 acres to the government to guarantee the repay ment of the cost of the work.

Father of Pressed Steel,

The pressed steel industry, which is one of the largest in the country to. day, was born In little cooper shop not far from St. John and Buttonwood streets, in Philadelphia.
 Charles !. Schoen, who Is literally the father of this business, was en. gagged in Philadelphia following the occupation of cooper and presided over little plant at which he consti. tuted the entire force of workmen.
 While doing this he conceived the idea of making doorstep for railroad cars, which at once forced itself into popularity with car builders and was generally adopted. It was an instant success, for the reason that it was ex- tremely simple and at the same time effective, holding the door open by a spring in the floor of the car.
 The demand for these devices soon overtaxed the capacity of the little cooper shop and in casting about for some quicker means of making the things the idea of pressing them out of steel was hit upon. From this humble beginning pressed steel was soon found available for other purposes in car building, and to-day the entire freight car, including the wheels, is made in this manner, no wood enter ing into the construction whatever.

TOWN PRAYS FOR GIRL BAND
Five Norfolk Society Damsels Leave
 Home to Go ou Stage.

Three weeks ago Miss Tessie Dixon WAS a demure young teacher in Nor folks public schools says a Norfolk (Neb) special to the St. Louis Post Dispatch. To-day, dressed In a ham- Ing suit of red, with biz brass buttons, she parades the streets of southern city, playing long slide trombone for life (and so much "per'O, while with her are four other Norfolk society girls.
 For the girls have gone on the stage. They didn't aspire to the histrionic po- sitions held by Maud Adams nor Ellen Terry, but they did want to get out in the world and see sights which were not afforded by a country town. There were five of them-all chums, Gertrude Austin, Mora Dixon, Tessle Dixon, Lydia Wheeler and Maude Mayhew were their names and they were as pretty and as well brought up as any set of girls in northern Nebras- ka. Their parents were well-to-do and the girls held high positions in the To- cal society.
 They were musically inclined and about a year ago, with the assistance of a number of other girls in their own class, formed brass band-"Norfolk's Ladies' Band" it was called. and 1t was a good one, too.
 The girls became proficient and in time they were engaged by the man. ager of the opera house to furnish the music at the theater. It was great fun-and they got to meet all the act ors, too.
 But few weeks ago the Chase-Lis- ter company played a weeks engage ment in Norfolk. The manager liked the playing of the girls-and, incident ally, their good looks. He offered the whole bunch-or band, rather-engage- ments for the entire season. The con- pany was going South, making a tour of the smaller cities throughout Mis- souri, Kentucky, Tennessee and other Southern States.
 The girls went wild. There wasn't much money in the job, but the fun and adventure promised was worth struggling for. Would they accept?" "Yes, they would"
 But the mammaS ana papas Qecreed otherwise. "Our daughters go on the stage? No, they won't"
 And the sweethears of the girls, they, too, objected. Several of the girls were engaged and the combined infu- ence of the prospective grooms was added to the weight of the kicks" of the parents.
 The girls began to waver. First one, then another, deserted the ranks of the

band. until there remained just five, who said they were determined to go "on the stage" The prayers of the parents and the upbraidings of the sweethearts were outweighed by the gllttering promises of the theatrical manager-especially when the girls saw the nice. hobby new uniforms in which they would be bcdecked.
 Secretly every girl in town enyied the jolly five" when their time came to leave town. Dressed in their red uniforms, the girls were escorted to the depot by their parents and friends. In the end the parental consent was obtained by the five who were stead fast to the faith and at the depot the mothers and fathers gave their bless ing and the train pulled out.
 But the older residents of the town, fearful of the temptations which beset the theatrical profession, have asked the prayers of the church for the girls.
 So strong became the religious feel ing for the welfare of the "Theater Girls" las they are now known spe- cial prayer meeting was held one night, the entire time being given up to pc titions for the absentees. But the girls don't believe they need any prayers. They write back to their friends here that they are having the time of their lives and say they intend to stay by the theatrical business as long as they live

A contemporary says of Marshal Oyama that If his equal exists any where In the world no one Is aware of his presence Ignorance of the con- ing military man has been not infre- quently noted in the worlds history.

 Settlers Arriving Already.
 Officials of the reclamation service are not encouraging settlers to go and take up homesteads in the public do- main in the vicinity of the Salt River project. But, nevertheless, settlers are going In even now, and pre-empting homestead rights under the national ir- rigatlon act. After filing claim they build their houses and do what they can to comply with the law in regard to bringing half of the eighty acre tract under cultivation. Of course, they can grow nothing until they have the water, and 1t Is required by law that they live on the land. So they start with a rather dry and tedious prospect.
 They figure that when the water does come they will have the pick of the land, and will become proprietors of rich and valuable farms, repaying them for the money, labor and time spent in "homesteading" fin the desert

THE WOMEN ALL PEEPED.
They Fell Victims to Proverbial Cur
 iosity of Their Sex.

Il witnessed rather interesting scenes, or, l should say, series of events, in front of a well-known bust. ness house the other day" said the man who keeps an eye open for the curious happenings of the day, according to the New Orleans Times Democrat, and It presents one of the interesting phases of the average woman's tenn perament.
 There was large pasteboard fun nel placed in the show window of the business place. The small end of the funnel was placed toward the street and there was an opening just about large enough to accommodate the eye On placard around the opening was written in bold letters: For Men Only The large end of the funnel ran back about eighteen inches or two feet. By pressing the eye against the glass of the window at the opening in the small end you could see what was on the inside. What was 1t?
 "A shy little woman came along. stopped and glanced at the sign. She looked around, up and down the street and then started on But she could not leave without glimpsing into the funnel. Thinking she was not watch ed, she made bold dash for the show window, pressed the eye against the glass and beheld all there was to see. Her ears reddened somewhat as she hurried away from the window. What had she found in the funnel?
 Directly another woman came along, went through nearly the same routine blushed. smiled and hurried along. saw at least a dozen women go up against the same game. and in each case the woman seemed to make an effort to keep from peering into the funnel. But they could not resist the sign, For Men Only It was simply another case of womans curiosity The ruse was clever, and attracted more women than would have been reached by some duller plan. No, there was nothing shocking to be seen. The house was simply exploiting cer. tain kind of artificial leg, and l guess this Is why some of the shy women blushed bit behind the ears when they read the advertisement"

The irresistibleness of coachmen has again been brought prominently before the public by the success of James Hever in segregating the affec- tons of Nancy Carnegie. Of course, as Andrew Carnegie remarks, a good coachman is a better match than "a worthless duke" But so is a gool butler. Why is 1t that women of for tune discriminate against the butler: Why do they discriminate against the fiunkey? Why is 1t that time after time, as the files of the newspapers demonstrate, they turn aside from the funkey and the butler and pour out their souls at the feet of the man who drives the horses? Perhaps the horses furnish the explanation. Horses are noble animals. All persons who are associated with them share in their no-

GREAT TIME SAVER.
Singular Telegraph System Now Bein z
 Tried in England.

lr1eu III EnRiauu.
 United States Consul Liefeld at Frei- burg, Germany, has made a report to the State Department in regard to a new highspeed telegraph instrument now being tested by the British postal officials, which 1t is claimed will revo- lutionize the telegraph service of to- day. The invention Is said to be as great an advance on the Morse instru- ment as that was upon It's predecessor, the single needle.
 The new system uses paper tape, which, instead of being hand punched, is perforated by an instrument. The tape at the other end of wire Is simi- larly perforated instead of being mark cd by dots and dashes. This tape can be placed upon another machine, which converts the perforations into printed words on telegraph forms 1t the rate of about 120 to 150 words a minute. The system is four or five times as fast IS the Morse, and con sists of three stages:
 l. The telegram is copied on a ma chine resembling a typewriter. Paper tape runs through this and Is perfor- ated as each letter Is struck.
 2. The message, as 1t appears on the tape, is run at very rapid rate through transmitter, and an exact facsimile of the tape is produced at the other end of the wire.
 8. The tape is put through a type rt tfnr ,,.ith tln driven by small electric motor, and the message reappears neatly printed, lined and spaced.
 This last stage may be described as being similar In effect to the placing of paper rolls of music In an automatic piano. Whereas in that case the per forations are the cause of the notes being struck and the music being pro- duced, 50 in this instrument the per

Circumstantial Evidence.

At lawyers dinner the subject of circumstantial evidence was discussed One lawyer, says the New York Trib. une, said that the best illustration of circumstantial evidence as proof was in a story he had recently heard.
 A young and pretty girl had been out walking. On her return her mother said:
 Where have you been, my dear:"
 "Only walking in the park" she re- piled.
 With whom:' pursued her mother.
 No one, mamma" said the young girl.
 No one?' her mother repeated.
 "No one," was the reply.

A Stickler for Promptness.

A certain merchant in Boston Is noted for being a stickler in the mat ter of promptness, to the extent that ne has been known to walk out of church because the services did not begin promptly, and to leave his sister alone in strange city because she was four minutes late In keeping an appointment. Not long ago he over heard a forceful exposition of his pc culiarity.
 He had walked out to his stable and was about to go in when he heard the new groom within say to the coach man, "Is 1t thrue, Dolan, that the boss is cracked about doing things on time, and goes into fit whin anybody is later"
 "Thrue ThrueT cried Dolan. Let me tell you, Ryan, how thrue 1t is. If the boss had promised to mate himself at iliven o'clock and was late, he'd find himself gone whin he got there. That's how thrue 1t is!'

forated paper is the cause of the type writer keys going down and the ham, mers containing the letters striking the telegraph form and producing letters and words.
 One of the effects of the use of this instrument, provided Il be found ulti- mately to come up to expectations would be great saving of time, as a wire would be capable of carrying four or five times as many words as at pres. ent, and fewer persons would conse- quently be required to perform the work. Any person able to operate a typewriter can transmit messages by the new system.

Chinese Pity Sea Turtle.

A self-constituted Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ere ated temporary excitement in what otherwise would have been a quiet morning along the water front. A na- tive fisherman caught a splendid speci- men of a sea turtle at Pearl Harbor and brought 1t to town. It was one of the biggest things of its kind ever seen in Honolulu. The Hawaiian was i'm mediately surrounded by a crowd of water front habitues, including Chi nese, Japanese and Hawaiian steve dores, deep-sea and coastlng sailors a steamship company's president, numer. ous custom house brokers and what not besides. The native wanted to make his way with his turtle to some local hotel but the Chinese entered a strong objection to the proposed trans formation of the crustacean into steaks and soup. They then and there formed a hui and made up the S5 demanded by the fisherman for the turtle among themselves and acquired the animal Sea lawyers freely offered advice to the members of the hui, setting forth the pecuniary benefits which will be theirs by taking the turtle to the Wal xix aquarium or the Kaimuki zoo, but the Chinks would have none of 1t. Their sympathies for suffering anil nal had been aroused and they were firm in their intention of giving 1t its liberty. They carried 1t to the Irm- gard wharf in the presence of large crowd and threw 1t in the harbor, where the turtle made a quick dive for the bottom.
 It was 250-pound animal, and Cap tain Larsen, of the Sailors Union, and Frank Harvey shed tears of regret at the loss of such a toothsome morsel- Honolulu Bulletin.
