Of big game in the dark continent.
"This is due to many causes. In the
first place, they are naturally extreme

hood of man. In the second place, they
are largely nocturnal feeders and rare

often travel immense distances to and
from the water and retire during the

can find Lastly, their scent is extreme

"Ihls sense is so largely developed
thnt they can recognize danger at a
very long distance, and as soon as the
alarm is given they move quickly but
noiselcssly away. AS an elephant dis

travel twenty or thirty miles without n
stop, and as his pace under such cir

The dinner was served at eight.
The table was handsomely decorated
with carnations and ferns, and the
aDpetizing menu. presented in four
courses, was proof of the skill of the
gracious hostess in the high art OF
cookery, the principal accomplish
E1ent of good housewives. Miss Car
lyn Shaver and Miss Eloise Parsons
ably assisted in serving.
The conversation during the meal
naturally drifted to stories and remin.
iscences of the days when Roswell
was frontier hamlet and the Incl
dents related would make interesting
reading. When the hostess announced
the program to be followed after din
ner, many of the guests began to
wrinkle their brows. Each gentleman
was to tell when, where and by whom
he end his wife were married and to
describe the brides wedding dress
and each lady was to tell about the
wedding trip, her first experience in
housekeeping in her new home and
any other interesting particulars she
might recall The stammering efforts
of some of the gentlemen furnished
plenty of amusement for all. The la
dies Jared better in their efforts but
even they encountered some difficult
ties. Both sides were bombarded
with jokes and questions and the pro-
gram caused a continuous round of
oasioned when some one announced
that it was nearly midnight and soon
would be ST. Patrick's Day III the
mornin'
The guests expressed their delight
1t having had such thoroughly en-
5oyable evening. and after wishing
he host and hostess many happy re-
5urns, departed for their homes.

party was, that it was the 30th anni-

st. Petersburg LOS p. m.) Mar. IL.
With the Japanese hanging on the
fianks and heels of the remnants of
the broken and defeated Russian ar
my. General Kuropatkin. the old idol
of the private soldiers, has been dis
missed and disgrrced, and General
Linevitch, commander OF the first
army. is appointed to succeed him
in command Of all the Russian land
and sea forces operating against the
Japanese
The word disgrace is written in
large letters in the Iaconic imperial
order gazetted. which contains not
single word CT praise. and disposes
of the rumor that KuropatlIin had
asked to be relieved. The Russian mil
itary annals contain no more bitter
imperial rebuke. The change from
Kuropatkin to Linevitch in the very
midst of the fight, although bruited
last night, came as a surprise. The
task of LineviJch of Withdrawing
what is left of the great army of
$4,000 men to Harbin is a desperate
one. He is hemmed in on all sides,
and the consummation of the Muk-
den disaster is feared. Napoleon's
plight in his retreat from Moscow
was hardly as bad or dangerous.
Nothing further has arrived from
the front, but it is feared that the de-
cimated battalions which had hardly
recovered from the decentralization
of the Mukden retreat. have again
been thrown into confusion by Oya-
mas relentless. merciless pursuit.
The war Office greatly fears that
more of the siege guns which Kuro-
patlxin managed to save from Mullden
have been sacrificed. The question
of ammunition and food is also vital,
as il is known that the Russians were
S compelled to burn further stores at
Tie Pass, where the commissary was
cnly beginning to feed the half-fam-
ished troops when the new retreat
= was ordered. But even in the face Of
the possibility of the complete loss
of the army. and the admitted fact
that vladfvostock is probably lost,
the Emperor still shows no signs of
yielding.
Preparations for continuing the
war on a larger scale than ever are
preceding. The dictum has gone forth
that another army of 100000 is to
be dispatched to the Far East Even
in the most optimistic quarters how
ever. it is realized that general mo-
bilization is likely to be accompanied
by widespread disorders unless the
composition and functions OF popu-
lar representation under the imperial
rescript are more satisfactory than
now appears probable
The war council. it is understood,
has definitely decided that Vice Ad-
niral Rojestvensky shall continue his
voyage and give, battle to the Japan
ese in the forlorn hope of Wrestling
the control of the sea from Admiral
Togo.
