C T LIKE ONE OF U.s."
A Missouri Jailbird's Well Meant
Compliment Which the Preach
er Understood.

A young clergyman of st. Louis, VINO
has had considerable experience IN SUM
work there. was the guest of a friend
here on Sunday, says a Macon lMo.)
correspondent of the New York sun.
He visited the jail in the morning ana
was cordially received by Jack Pack
ham, a one-year man for forgery. Jack
mounted the card table in the main
corridor and called the boys around.
"Fellers.'' said Jack, this is Elder
Failing of st. Louis, who wants to shoot
some good into you. The Lord knows
you nede 1t. Gather around the bench
now, and I'll introduce you. Elder, this
dago here is Antonio Tommaso Tobasco,
or something like that, who shot his
wife while ON a drunken spree. He
won't understand all you say, but you
can cheer him some by making signs
of where he'll go ii he don't repent.
THAT grinning niger over there in
the corner is Frogeye Davis, waiting
his medicine for stealing chickens in the
night time. The tall, good looking gen
tleman fondling a pair of kings is Dyna-
mo AL, suspicioned of stopping the pay
boss out at the mines, but who assures
us on his solemn word of honor that he
was a hundred miles away at the time
This fellow behind me we call Quo
Vadis,' because neither him nor any
body else could tell where he's going
for the last 20 years. He's in for
vagrancy and on general principles"
The one-year man went on describing
his colony, and modestly took his stand
behind the v~ariegated group. The
preacher mounted the table and started
his talk. He was earnest and knew
how to reach men. There was no talk OF
punishment; no threats, no crimina-
tions; what was done was done and
could not be helped; the thing now was
to resolve to do better and become good
and respected citizens.
The preacher finished his kindly dis
course by volunteering to do anything
he could for 1.-The boys" and told them
not to be backward in telling him about
anything of which they stood in need.
followed him to the grating
and remarked impressiyely:
Elder, this is bully of you, and all
the boys think you're the roal thing.
You done 'em a world of good"
The young mans face lightened and
he bowed acknowledgment. This en-
couraged the one-year man to hold out
his prize compliment.
You see. you don't put on airs like
some do he said. You act same's If
you was one Of u.s..

PROGRESS or JAPAN.

TOKYO, July 2S.-The japanese
army at Sakhalin island, without meet
ing heavy resistance from the Rus
slams, have commenced landing a
strong force in the ~neighborhood of
Alkova, eight miles north of Alexan-
drovsk, and Alexandrovsk has been
captured.
Vice Admiral Kataoka, in reporting
the landing of the japanese forces in
the vicinity of Alexandroysk, says that
the piers at Alexandrovsk, Niyomi and
Mukake were found undestroyed, but
the enemy had set fire to Mumika, and
Alkova was still burning. The town
of Alexandrovsk was not burned.
The admiral's report says that the
Japanese flag was hoisted over the
government buildings at Alexandrovsk
without any loss ON the part of the
Japanese force.
A report from headquarters says:
THE detachment detailed to protect
the landing on the Siberian coast of
Japanese troops from the island Of
Sakhalin first dislodged the enemy
from the vicinity of Alkova.
THE enemy's strength consisted of
n battalion of infantry newly dis
patched there, besides several hundred
volunteers with eight field pieces from
Alexandroysk, placed in the hills in
the direction Of Luikoff.
Before this, one detachment Of in
fantry, which had been dispatched I'M
der the protection of torpedo boats to-
ward the pier at AleXandrovsk, dis
persed a body of the enemy which was
attempting to burn the pier, which the
japanese captured intact.
"a detachment landed at Mugati, as
sisted by torpedo boats, dislodged the
enemy and captured 10000 tons of coal
and light railway materials. Another
detachment occupied a third line at
Alkova the same afternoon, and, con
tinuing the advance, Alexandrovsk
vas taken and entered after some re-
sistance.
"The enemy continued his resistance
in redoubts west of the town, and on
an eminence northeast of Alexan-
drovsk a stubborn resistance was Of
fered. The fighting had not ceased at
shutdown.
"The position east Of Alexandrovsk
was attacked, and u troops pressed
the enemy toward Novoe MichaeIkoye.
We have occupied Novoe Michaelkoye.
That place and Alexandroysk' escaped
confiagration.
Two hundred prisoners were taken,
n our detachment also captured gun
carriages, ammunition and provisions"
A report from Osaka. Japan, says
that hearing of the advance of the
Japanese the Russians have hastily re-
treated. from Buryong and Fukyo, in
northern Korea.

BUSINESS BLOCK AND
tenement IN DANGER.
Continued from page l.

The shed was burned to the
ground, with its contents, potatoes
and other goods, and barrels con-
tanning vinegar.
Ten chickens were in the yard.
Eight of them we're roasted, the
other two running into the store,
saving their lives thereby.
People crowded the roofs of sur
rounding buildings, hoping to get a
better view, as all that could be seen
from the street was the clouds of
smoke.
Fire lines were drawn on New
Brunswick avenue, and the police did
good work.
The only possible causes that can
be assigned for the blaze are that a
match might have been lying in the
yard, being ignited by a rat or chick
en-, or that there might have been
someone on one of the surrounding
roofs for some purpose a short time
before and a cigarette stump or a
~half-burned match might have been
carelessly dropped. Mrs. Palisi says
that she frequently sees boys on the
roofs.
The out taps were sounded shortly
after o'clock.

Craze of the "Improver.v


One of the employees of a small manu-
featuring concern in Gotham, says the
New York Sun, has a craze for taking
apart new bits of machinery and seeing
the how" of their operation. AS a rule,
he assemblies them again without much
difficulty. The other day, however, he
assisted in taking down a small electric
motor. He overhauled 1t and laborious-
ly put it together and then gravely an
nounced that the blamed thing won't
run" His employer and the rest of the
force worked for the better part of the
day in a vain attempt to get the motor
to work, and then began to quiz the "im-
proven" as he is known. What did | do
to it?" he replied. Il didn't do a blame
thing to it but improve it. l got it all
together again the first try, and saved
these two pieces out of it."

SETTLEMENT OF CHICAGO TEAM.
STEERS STRIKE DRAWING
NEARER DAILY.
MEN APPOINT A NEW COMMITTEE
BODY FROM JOINT COUNCIL is
GIVEN FULL POWER TO
END CONFLICT.

Chicago, juno S.-The prospects for
settlement of the teamsters strike
are brighter. A new committee is be-
ing appointed by the Transfers Joint
Council to negotiate with the Employ
ers association, which is willing to
confer with any committee having
power to act. At the Headquarters pf
the strikers it is said, however, that
unless every demand is conceded the
new committee cannot settle the
strike.
The Team Owners association has
taken no action as yet in regard to the
refusal of the truck drivers to deliver
to strikeboand houses. The reported
determination to discharge drivers for
refusing to make such deliveries will
doubtless not be carried out until the
result of the new peace negotiations
is known.
