OLD AND NEW AIDS TO BEAUTY.
Doubt if Inventions Have Made Women

OF course, there is nothing new In
the cult of beauty: the only novelty
lies in the eXtravagant fashion in
which new inventions are applied to it.
Electric baths and vibration treatment
may be innovations, but cosmetics and
medicated baths date from the earliest
ages. Women have always aspired to

time immemorial and in all countries.

WOMEN PREFER TO GET WET

The day of the feminine umbrella is

JAP SCOUTING PARTIES MEET
Russian Army Believed to Have Beer
Surrounded

Newchwang, March 8.-The last
news from the front is that General
Kuroki's scouting parties have joined
those of General Nogi, and that they
are already in touch with each other
back of Telling. This at once tells the
peril which besets the Russian COM
mander ard at the same time hints at
means which may prove his saliva
ton.
Reports early Tuesday morning show
that the supreme crisis of the great
battle is at hand. The vast armies
will, in the course of the day, enter a
great engagement, the issue of which
must be the signal victory of one and
the utter Gripping of the other.
General Knropki, commanding the
Japanese right flank, has thrown his
right wing to the east and northeast of
Mukden, while General Nogi has hur-
ried his powerful briagdes of veterans
to the west of Mukden, and cooperat-
ing with the much extended and weak
ened japanese lift flank, has, by joining
communications with Kuroki. com.
pleted the envelopement of Mukden.
If this be SO, Kuropatkin is sur
rounded and may be caught in a hope
less trap. The japanese forces may
be said to describe a circle in a 70
miles in circumstances. It's left flank,
on account of it's attenuation, is weak,
while the extreme left wing, composed
of Nogi's veterans, is believed to be
very fatigued form the rigorous forced
march made from Port Arthur.
Kuropatkin may be surrounded, but
he has a powerful army and a chance
of being able to hurl his troops against
the Japanese left before it can be
strengthened from the center, and there
is bare possibility that the Port Ar
thur veterans may succumb in their
present condition to desperate attack
from the encircled Russians.

THE JAP FLANKINo MOVEMENTS.
The Past Week Saw Fierce Fighting
in the Far East

The week closed in Manchuria with
nearly a million men engaged in the
fercest conflict of the war. 1t is about
a week since KurolIi first began his
attempt to envelop the Russian left
flank. This was followed by a Jap
anese demonstration at the center,
manifestly to prevent achievements
being sent to the Russian left, and at
last the entire line became engaged,
with the Japanese left trying to get
around the Russian right and possibly
slip in between Mukden and the Rus
slams rear.
AS a result of this swift and savage
advance, the Russians are said to be
retiring with a view to taking up a
defensive position at Tie pass, where
preparations for a stand were made
last fall
The thanking movement has been
the favorite military device of the Jap
anese, and while it has not resulted in
the development of the enemy, it has
rarely failed to result in a Russian re.
triement. At the Yalu, at Tellisu, at
Liaoyang and at the Shake it was
the desperate effort of the Japanese to
get around one or the other TANKS of
the enemy that caused the Russians
to fall back. At Tellisu General Stalk.
elberg tried to turn the Japanese left
but before his troops had fairly begun
their advance he was obliged to recall
them because of a flank movement
around his own left. At Liaoyang ii
was Kuroki's brilliant dash to the
northeast and around the Russian left
that necessitated Kuropatkin's order
to fall back toward Mukden. When
KurOpatkin attempted in October tC
crush the Japanese on his left front
he was quickly stopped in his work
by Oku's decisive flank movement or
the Russian right, and last month
when General Grippenberg attacked
the japanese left he found himself
nearly outfianked, and because of al
legged lack of support from his com
mander returned to ST. Petersburg in
huff.

fers to his efforts to break up child slavery In

lows:
DO the women Of New-York remember the
child labor law and the demands for its enforce
ment? The records of the District Attorneys
office open to every one, and every mother
and sister ought to be able to tell the voters
who do not know what his work for children
means. When the people demanded the reason
for the non-enforcement of the child labor law
the Commissioner of Labor gave. among other
excuses, that he could get no one TO prosecute
the cases. To whom did they turn to protect
the childhood of the county OF New-YOrk? IT,
Mr. Jerome! And what happened? Not eXcuse:,
