Washington at SARATOGA.

Booker T. Washington's appearance
at dinner recently in the great dining
room of the United States hotel at Sar-
atoga caused a mild sensation among
the diners. Mr.. Washington was the
guest of John Wanamaker, former
postmaster general, and acted as es-
cort Of Mrs. Barclay Warburton, Mr..
Wanamaker's daughter, while Mr..
Wanamaker walked to the table with
]. r. e. Roberts. AS they walked down
the long line every eye was directed
upon the distinguished negro educator
and the former Cabinet officer. Com
paratively few of those present recog-
nized either of them and there was
a general buzz of comment and a cram
ing OF necks.
Mr.. Washington preached at Sara
toga three times, first in the Presby-
terian church, then in the Baptist
church, and late in the evening in the
American Methodist church.

belonged to some Russian officer and
was tame and affectiorate. l am

Newspaper for tho Blind.

The "Braille Weekly sixteen
page newspaper for the blind, and the
first of its kind ever issued, has just
made it's appearance in Edinburgh. As
its name indicates, the paper is printed
In the raised characters invented by
Braille, blind Frenchman. who died
in 1852. whose system is the one in
general use by blind persons the world
over. A recent improvement in the
embossing process renders the cost of
production very moderate. and it is be-
lieved sufficient subscribers will be OBJ
tanned to make the new venture sue
cess.
The paper contains editorial, war
and foreign news. together with sport
ing intelligence and various light fea-
tures. Special permission has been
given by the leading agencies OF the
United Kingdom for the reproduction
of kilograms and articles. and, as far
as possible, nothing has been left un-
done to give the blind the newspaper
advantages possessed by those who
have the blessing of eyesight.

Drummond. Wis, Aug. 21st (spe-
ciaD-Whole families. in Bayfield,
County are. singing the praises of
Dodds Kidney Pills and the reason
why is given in experiences such as
that of Mr.. T. T. Void, well-known
citizen here.
II had such pains in my back that l
did not know what to do" says Mr..
Void, "and as came across an adver-
tisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
sent for a box. That one box reliev-

she needed. 1 recommend Dodd's Kid

Tho Icon of Russia,

An icon is holy picture or mosaic,
blessed by priest Of the Greek
church, and carried by the devout as
talisman to ward off evil. After the
Icon has been blessed by priest, it
Is then regarded not only as an orna-
ment, but as an accessory in the wor-
ship of the Greek church. Almost ev-
ery soldier wears an icon on his bo-
som. and when he prays he takes out
his icon. and opening it. kneels down
before it as II it were an altar. Every
Russian regiment has it's special icon,
which 1t carries like banner when
the regiment goes into battle.

1t is reported that the separation of

line of political cleavage among the
American citizens of the Northwest.
The sons and grandsons of the Scandi-

Great lakes and at the headwaters Of
the Mississippi want to import their
quarrel from the Old World, and be no

THE TURN OF LIFE

Dread Diseases Intelligent Women Prepare

The "change of life" is
the most critical period
of a woman's existence.
and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near
is not without reason.
Every woman who
neglects the care of her
health at this time in
vites disease and pain.
When her system is in
a deranged condition,
or she is predisposed to
apoplexy. or congestion
of any organ, the ten
dency is at this period
likely to become active
and with a host of ner-
vous irritations, make
life a burden. At this
time, also, cancers and
tumors are more liable
to form and begin their
destructive work.
Such warming symp-
toms as sense of suffo-
cation. hot flashes, head
aches backaches. dread
of impending evil, timid-
ity, sounds in the ears,
palpitation of the heart,

tude, and dizziness. are

DEFENDS VAR OFFICE.
Charges Of UmprepaedHess Denied
by Army Organ.

St Petersburg. March 25.-Stung by the whole
sale criticism lately heaped on the War Office
for its unpreparedness and incapacity in provid-
ing the Manchurian army with men, guns and
munitions the army organ to-day tells what has
been done since the opening Of hostilities. giving
the exact figures From these It appears that
up TO March u the War Office has dispatched
13.0s7 officers. 761.467 men, 146.40S horses,
1921 guns and 316.321 tons Of munitions and
supplies to the front, declaring that the trans
pOrtation strained the Siberian Railroad to its
utmost capacity. The army organ admits that
the army IN the Far East when the war opened
was hardly worth the name mo figures being
given, but it is known that the troops did not
exceed 10000 mem. defending this on the ground
that Emperor Nicholas desired to avoid war
and therefore refrained from sending reinforce
ments. which would have provoked it.
The criticism of the War Oflce's failure ade-
quately 70 supply Port Arthur is met by the
statement that 1t was provisioned for a garrison
of twelve battalions, the decision to put thirty
battslions there being taken late that the
original calculations could not be remedied
While affirming that the quick firing guns and
field guns OF the Russians superior TO those
OF the Japanese the War Office explains that
the misfortune in the insufficiency of the NOUN
tain guns was due 10 the fact that when the
war broke out Russia was just adopting a new
pattern.
It Is denied that the War Office was deceived
In regard 70 the available strength OF the Jap
snese army or the organization of the Japanese
reserves, hut the RrTHy organ frankly admits
that the talents of the officers and the wonderful
spirit OF the soldiers were niscalculated.
The publication OF this article has created a
sensation among military men, and I'm public
circles, many OF the former censuring the Cen
eral STAN for disclosing valuable military secrets
and the latter finding from the figures a prac-
ticsl admission Ihat the war has cost almost
half q million men in killed, wounded pris-
oners and SICK as the whole effective force in
the Far East .s now believed not TO exceed
three hundred thousand men,
