The Sunpaper's S Pride.

The Baltimore Sun prints with
manifest, although possibly mistaken,
pride the following communication
from WinstoE-SNern, N. c.:
April 25. 1905.
y: S. Abel 10 eshing Company. Bal
Dear Sirs: Please send me one dollar S
worth of your valuable paper and also
find check enclosed for that amount.
i married Baltimore woman and can
not get her to stay in this town with
out your daily Sun paper.
Very truly,
f. s. VERNAY.
Now, the Sun looks on this letter
with its face all twisted into smiles as
though somebody had tickled it I'M
der the nose with a straw. The joys
Of married life are incomplete with
out it. The children cry for ii, and
the lady of the house goes home to
her mother unless she gets it regularly.
Husband and wife, indeed. cannot get
along together without its nerve
soothing aid. 1t is the medical dis
coyery of the age.
The old story of the Maryland JUS
tice who swore his witnesses on his
file Of the Sun is now outdone. Here
/ after we must think of the sunpaper
as the keystone Of domestic content
not the mighty fortress of county JUS
tice.
But there is another side to the
shield II may be that the coming of
spIing has to do with this general
alarm from Winston Salem. This is
the time OF the year when the thrifty
housewife begins 10 arm against the
moths. And Mrs. Vernay, away down
in the C'linas, may be taking time by
the forelock.
She remembers. If the Sun forgets,
the advertisement which has graced
the sunpaper's front page ever since
she was a little girl. Tho air is yet
little biting for 1t this spring, but 1t
will make its appearance all right, In
the trail OF the crabman, the new
straw hat, and the sand flea Memory
harks back to 1t as to the fourth
reader and bein' KEEP in. See how
limpidly 1t flows:
Nothing is so good to keep the moths
out of woolens as old newspapers Old
copies Of the Sun can be obtained at the
Sun office at the rate of l cent a pound.
A dollars worth will go a long way.

The Possibilities of Peace Between
Japan and Russia and the Finan-
cial Contest Between Them Is At
tracing Much Attention.
ties of Peace Between

Paris. March 26. = Prospects of
peace between Russia and Japan as
sumed a more definite and almost a
tangible aspect as the result of an
nouncement of the resumption of ne
gotiations for Russian loan.
Postponement of the loan occurred
through the stand taken by the finan-
cial element against proceeding while
the uncertainties of war continued
while a willingness to resume nego-
tiationS was construed as meaning
that their strong influence for peace
finally had prevailed with the authori-
ties at St Petersburg. The announce
ment of the resumption of negotia-
tons took definite form in a communi-
cation to the syndicate of agents de
Change, who form an influential ele-
ment on the bourse, holding govern
ment credentials
1t is understood that one of the in
ducements to resumption of the ne
gotiations was that a considerable
portion of the proceeds shall remain
in France to meet the interest cOu-
pOnS of other loans and thatsthe plac-
ing of contracts for government sup
plies will be required even after the
conclusion of hostilitieS. Coupled
with the announcement of the re-
sumption of the loan negotiations
came a strong intimation from official
and diplomatic quarters that steps
looking toward peace had been def
nitely taken by Russia. The foreign
Office declined to confirm report that
IL,
but diplomats who are actively in
terested for the first time gave credit
to the statement that Russia had de-
cided to seek peace.
Russia's chief preoccupation is said
to be avoidance of having peace plans
arouse the animosity of the powerful
war element at home.
The receipt of an official dispatch
at st. Petersburg on March 20 saying
that the Japanese were approaching
Vladivostok is said to have induced
the determination to seek a pacific so
luton. On the other hand. it is in
sisted that Japanese proximity to
Vladivostok promises to be a chief
obstacle in the way of peace as di-
plomats conversant with the situa-
ton say that Japan will seek to avert
peace until she possesses Russia S
only outlet to the Pacific ocean.

ranging peace between Russia and
Japan, and the financial contest be-
tween the two countries, are attract

even greater than the strategic devel-
opments in Manchuria. Comparisons
