World,s BIoodiest Battle.

Tbe,estimate by correspondent who
is with General Kuropatkin that the
losses on both sides at the battle of Muk-
den were not less than 200, 900 men,
makes it appear that this combat was by
TAR the bloodiest ever known,
The largest number of troops ever he
fore engaged in battle was at Arbela,
in 334 B. c., when 35, 600 Greeks, un-
der Alexander, put to rout horde Of
uudisciplined Persians believed to have
numbered $50, 900.
Before the present war the bloodies'
battle in modern history was that o.
Leipzig, in 1918, when 800, 900 Ger.
mans defeated Ill, 200 French. The
Germans lost 1000 and the French
$1,000.
The greatest battle ever fought in thi;
country was that OF Gettysburg, in 1868
when ll7,000 federals fought 6S, OO'
Contederates. The Losses, including
prisoners. we're II, 900 federals and q, i,
o0O Confederates. The Confederate
Lost 40 per cent. Of their force, being
the largest percentage Of loss ever known
The number of men engaged at Mus
den IS yariously estimated at from 500,
600 TO | 900, 900. The percentage OF los
appears to have been between 20 and Y
per cent.

A Maniac Husband.

A sudden outburst of insanity turns
out after all to haye been the only cause
of the murder and suicide in which
Druggist John f. Chatham slew his
mother-in.law, Mrs. Isaac Abrams;
murderously assaulted his wife and then
took his own life in Chester, Pa. Mrs.
Chatham, whose life hung by slender
threat, has at last been able to talk.
Her story discloses circumstances most
dramatic, as follows:
Mrs. Cnatham says her husband,
without a moments warning, Hn into
the dining.room from behind the pre-
scription counter, where he was prePar-
ing prescription. He was in an 10.
sane fury, mumbled incoherently and
carried a hammer which he had used tc
open boxes. He ran at his mother-in'
law. struck her a blow on the temple
and she fell to the floor. The infuriated
man then picked from the table 9
butcher knife and attacked Mrs. Chat
ham. She grappled with him, and in
struggle succeeded in wrenching th'
knife from his hand The attack wat
then renewed with the hammer, and h'
rained blow after blow upon the head o
his wife and BABY. In protecting th'
child the mother received many Of th'
cruel blows on her hands and shoulders
and finally fell unconscious to the floor
Mrs. Chatham thinks she was struck II
or IL times, and the only thing that pre-
vented her from being killed ontrigh
was her resistance.

MANAoLINa OF DAVIS.

"In my opinion the shackling OF
Jefferson Davis at Fortress Monroe vas
entirely unnecessary" is the declaration
of Rev. j. W. Sanderson, Of Beaver
Dam. Wis. who was officer of the day
at Fortress Monroe the day before the
famous prisoner was manaeled by order
of Gen. Nelson A. Miles, then in com
mand of that post. The controversy
which has been kept up in the news
papers the last two weeks between
General Miles and Mrs. Davis has stirred
the memories of the few old soldiers who
were stationed at Fortress Monroe at
dat time.
Captain Sanderson was at the fort the
day Mr.. Davis was brought there, had an
intimate association with him almost
daily during the time OF his iucarcera-
ton. and it was to him that Capt.
Jerome Titlow, who carried out General
Mies's order, related the circumstances
within 0 minutes after Mr.. Davis was put
in manacles.
al was at my quarters on the evening
when it occurred" said Mr.. Sanderson,
al was about to sit down when Capt.
Jerome Titlow, of the Third Pennsyl-
vania Artillery, of which | was men,
Der. entered.
az have just been obliged to perform
a disagreeabe duty said Captain Tit
low to me. 4 have just returned from
putting Jefferson Davis in irons.
Captain Titlow then went on to re-
late how ii had happened.
Z" j had with me a sergeant and a
blacksmith, said Captain Titlow, and
when reached the casemate | found
Mr.. Davis sitting on his cot.
90 "What?" be said. "Do you mean
to say that General Miles intends to
place irons on MY limbs [? /, as an officer
of the regular army and as former Secre-
tary of War, wish to infofm you. Cap
tain Titlow, that you, as an officer OF
the army, would be justified in refusing
to carry out such an order"
"' But the sergeant grabbed Mr..
Davis from behind, threw him over on
the bed, and 10 twinkling the shackles
were clasped on
captain Titlow then fold me that
Davis. when he realized that the deed
had been done, broke down aud wept.
He said that he felt sorry for him: but
had no other alternative than to do as he
had been ordered"

THE POWER OF STEAM.
Many May See Hut II Takes Genius to
Ecalize.

When James Watt saw the steam
causing the kettle lid to jump UP and
down he said "rhere must be power in
that steam that 1t can lift such a
weight"
There was.
Millions prior to him had seen the
same phenomenon and regarded it as
an unexplained mystery.
Recent scientific research has put its
finger on the cause" OF Dandruff, Fall
ing Hair, and consequent Badness, and
has unearthed a tiny germ which eats
the life from the roots of human hair.
Newbro's Herpicide destroys this
germ and consequently restores the
hair to it's natural state.

UMPIRE HURST SAYS
BRITT is A SURE WINNER

Il know all the fighters, the little babies,
the mediumly constructed fellows and the
elephants. but not one of 'em has anything
like as smart noddle as adorns Jimmy
Britt's neck
And for that reason, I'll have to string
a bet on him when he goes again Battling
Nelson
So remarked Tim Hurst, the American
League umpire, who is famous the country
over as boxing referee. to the sporting
the rotunda of the Laclede Hotel Monday.
Britt will whip Nelson. If he wasn't
able to he never would, have given him a
return date. And If he wasn't cock sure of
turning the trick he wouldn't have con-
scented to a forty-five-round fight.
He would have made it twenty; got
almost as much dough and won by stick
ing his beak in front. But by taking Mel
son on In finish affar-sureIy forty five
round scrap is finish affair-he knows
what cinch he's got.
Great boy Is that Jimmy Britt. And
Brother Bill Is no sucker. remember when
those two kids hit New York last spring
1t was their first visit to the Great and
Only and their coming was chronicled in as
big type as you use in ST. Louis when a
great fire Is raging or cyclone hits you.
Straight to the Waldorf-Astoria did they
go. They had no sooner registered there
and donned clean clothes and grabbed on
10 their dinky sticks than they were ushered
down to "the Bartholdi. where the sports
stop, by Bob Fitzsimmons.
'Eitz introduced them all around. Pretty
soon Jimmy and / were together and 1 got
after him for passing UP the gentry in his
walk and stringing with the swells at the
Waldorf.
Nothing in it. Jimmy says I. First
of all they overcharge you and what's the
sense of paying $1.40 for a plate of mash
potatoes even If they do put doylies on the
dish? You've come here to be rubbered at
Well, up at the Waldorf those dudes and
those dolls will laugh at you and point you
out as a common priZefighter Likely as
not they'll go to Mr.. Waldorf and ask that
you and Bill be dumped out in the alley.
Now. you look good to me and I want
to put you right. Come down to the Bar
tholdi, where you'll meet fellows in your
class who'll be glad to see you and any
time you do a two-step into the dining room
or the bar every soul in sight will rubber
at you.
"And the Britts took my tip and stayed
at the Bartholdi the whole time they were
in New York. [ found Jimmy to be as cum
ming fox He's got old mans head
and he's got a world of sense In it.
Hes my choice over Nelson for the mere
reason that he's made the match and that
he didn't content himself in getting the
candy In twenty rounds. when he could
have done SO. but insisted upon the Battler
going 1t TO a finish with him. shows me
that he knows he's got mark and is going
to send the Dane out of the arena as badly

NATIONAL TENNIS TOURNEY.
Ward and Wright Defeated Alexander
and Hackett.

As a result Of the play in the national
lawn tennis tournament at Newport yes
terday the second round In the all-comers'
singles was disposed of and the champion
ship doubles completed, Ward and Wright,
the defenders of the title, again having the
distinction Of being champions of America.
1t was another record-breaking day as far
as attendance went, but as for tennis there
were few matches over which the large
gallery enthused. The players of national
reputation all won their matches with ease,
Clothier allowing his man but three games
in the match, and Larned went up into the
third round on a default. Waidner took
his match with love sets, while Collins and
Stevens won in straight sets.
The match of the day in the singles was
the Ames-Wallace match. Ames being one
of the leading players of Rhode Island. 1t
required ffty-five games to decide this
match. The championship doubles were dis
appointing, not developing the game looked

Wright had no difficulty in winning. the
bulk Of the work falling on Wright. Alex

game and did not play with the accuracy of
Tuesday, when they defeated the western
champions, Collins and Waidner. In the
three sets Ward and Wright made -96 points
