BARGAIN sale Mobs.

Thousands of men, women and chill
dren seeking bargains at the new five
and ten cent store opened Saturday
in Philadelphia fought wildly to enter
the building, and in the rush which
followed every time the doors were
opened scores of weaker ones were
trampled beneath the feet of the more
robust bargain hunters.
The crowd in front of the store en-
trance blocked the street and stopped
the streetcars. Some bargain seekers
stood for hours with infants in their
arms fighting, scratching and scream
ing They struggled fercely to enter
the store. Women were trampled to
the pavement and babies were torn
from the arms of mothers. The en-
tire police force was summoned and
ambulances from Jefferson, Penna and
Hahneman hospitals FASTENED to the
scene to carry off the injured.
For half an hour there was also an
immovable jam inside the stores. In
the rear of the store a temporary
medical ward was organized to care
for women who tainted.

Paat Week n the War.

War interest the past week centered
on naval movements A clash of the
rival fleets was expected daily, and re.
ports, which afterward proved prema.
ture, stated that sea battle had act.
ually taken place. European experts
believe that Admiral Rojestvensky is
anxious for a decisive engagement.
They are also of the opinion that the
Japanese will try to avoid a general
fight at sea, preferring to carry on
harassing attacks with their torpedo
boats.
Operations in Manchuria were limit
ed to outpost engagements of minor
character, and movements of soldiers
from both armies for strategic pur-
poses, reinforcements over the trans
siberian railroad and their generals
are struggling with the severe task
of rehabilitating the great army which
was all but crushed at MGkden.
At st. Petersburg the war party ap-
pears to be again in full control, and
peace talk has dropped to a whisper.

PAUL JONES' REMAINS.
Ambassador Porter Found Them IN
Paris.

Ambassador Porter TouHN
Paris.
Paris-The remarkable search tnaC
Ambassador Porter has conducted for
the body of Paul Jones has been
crowned with success by the discoV-
erv of the body and its identification
by the highest French medical eX-
merits as Enthusiastically that OF the
famous American admiral who found
ed the American navy.
The state department at Washing
ton has made public the cablegram re-
ceiyed from Ambassador Porter at
Paris. in which he announced that the
body of John Paul Jones had been
found. The cablegram described the
finding of the casket and the identlfl-
cation of the body. The cablegram
fully bears out the Paris dispatches
of the Associated Press.
Upon receipt of Mr. Porter's dis
patch, Acting Secretary LOOMS cabled
an acknowledgment and took occasion
to congratulate Mr.. Porter on the
success of what appeared to be a
dubious task. 1t is learned here that
the ambassador has already expended
$500 of his money in this long quest
1t is fully expected that congress Will
reimburse him. Mr.. Loomis stated
that there was no doubt that the re-
mains will be conveyed to America on
warship, but it could not yet be told
whether this would be a French or
American man of war.
Proof Seems Positive.
DR.. Papillault, the anthropologist,
in an interview at Paris explains the
methods pursued to identify the body,
found in the old ST. Louis cemetery
after long search made by Ambas-
sador Porter. He says an examina-
ton was made of the teeth, hair, nose
and ears and they all correspond with
remarkable precision to the known
measurements and characteristics of
the admiral's organs. The formation
of the frontal bone, the slope of the
nasal bone, the cartilages and ears
likewise correspond precisely with the
measurements of Moudins bust made
from the life masks The measure
ments of the height and diameter of
the skull correspond within a thou
sandth part of a meter, thus estab-
fishing a remarkably exact correspon-
dence.
The doctor said his report makes
the usual reservation covering posi-
BILE doubts, although he believes he
has assembled so many proofs as to
make the identification incontestible.
Ambassador Porter is receiving con-
gratulations on the success of his long
search for the body, which has been
transferred to new casket bearing
an inscribed date and having a glass
over the lace, permitting it's inspec-
ton. The extensive work of excava-
ton at the cemetery has been sus-
pended and workmen are now filling
the lengthy tunnels.

commonly known as the Jim Grow"
