Such advices as the government have
received are carefully withheld The
wires are in control of the authorities
and appeals sent to the Associated
Press correspondent at Odessa to tele-

night have met with no response up to
noon. Rumors are rife in this city,
however. that the officers on board the
ships belonging to the squadron of Vice
Admiral Kruger, which left SebastOpol
for Odessa Tuesday. according to one
report, and for practice cruise accord

mutineers are in possession of the other

infant prodigy, is one of the most remark able of the mental calculators when names are a part of the history of the curious. Buxton was born in HOT, in Elmerton, in Derbyshire, where his father was school master. Notwithstanding his fathers pro fession. Jebediahs education was neglect ed He was not even taught to write. It was not until he had arrived at manhoods g estate that hs showed any aptitude Tor mental arithmetic. Once interested In the subject. however, his mind developed with amazing rapidity. He had remarkable memory, and while in the midst of prob lem he could desist and resume the opera tion again where he had left off. even if 1t were a year after. remarkable thing about the man was that he would allow two persons to propose different problems at the same time. and he would answer each without the least confusion. Buxton died in 1772.
 Many other examples of these freaks or nature" are known. and among them may be mentioned a negro of Maryland, who. with no education whatever, possessed wonderful gift for solving difficult mathe-' nautical problems. With the exception of Bidder, few of these genfIses have amount ed to anything, and as time went on they either lost their marvellous power or died before they could make 1t serve some useful purpose Young Hunter, of Indianapolis may be an exception, but the chances are that in ten or fifteen years his mysterious gift will leave him.

The Theatre Hat nnd After.

Paris Letter to Pail Mall Gazette.
 Now that the battle of the theatre hat has been fought and won, 1t is the moment to look around and count the advantages of victory. Go into any theatre and you will be struck with the improvement in the appearances of the auditorium. In place of monstroua creations of lace and feathers ball. anced upon the feminine head are dim- inutive caps nestling among the tresses, or mere bows of ribbon harmonizing with the color of the hair. Ornaments and costly jewels gleam and sparkle above fair brows, and the fashion has a brilliance and picturesqueness that belonged never to the old-time mass i've style of hat. It is hardly to be expected that all the modistes should appreciate the change-many do not. But the colffeurs are delighted; 1t has meant the revival of old and elaborate forms of dressing the hair. The jew- ellers, likewise, derive benefit from a. mode which lends itself to pearls and diamcnds.

 One of the subjects explained to me that it was the royal sanction for the sun to set. When, asked as to whether the ruler gave his permission for the sun to rise in the morning the man replied that the sun must always rise before the ruler, but that 1t could never go down unless the royal hand waved approval The king who did this was the sultan of Zanzibar
 T hardly believed that he himself was sincere in thinking his permission necessary. for he was educated for four years at Harrow college in Eng land. but the performance was to in- crease the belief among his subjects in his divine origin"

The Business woman finds in Peruna an ever-available remedy.
 While woman's social possibilities have been enlarged through business life, at the same time, the unavofda~ ble contact with climatic dangers in- cident to such life has brought with it over wrought nerves, deranged df- gestion and whole train of physical ailments.
 Even after exposure and disease have produced some definite derangement. q short course of Peruna Is sufficient to restore the health again.
 These facts are welI-known to the business woman. Hence the popularity of Peruna among these workers.
