New York City.-What queer prankS
Master Cupid plays at times! He draws
his bow and lets his arrows by, and 10,
and behold, all the world pauses to look
and to listen.
Cupid knows that love has universal
language, and that it is potent to over
come every natural barrier. He knows
that love pauses not to reason why, but
that it dares to do, and even die, if need
be, in it's assaults on the strongholds of
the human heart. He knows that there
are no race or class distinctions, nor So
cial conditions or barriers which love
cannot with apparent reckless ease
sweep aside. And because Sir Cupid
knows all this full we'll, he dares to draw
his bow and send his dart cleaving the
heart of young man whose wealth is
counted in millions, whose social posi-
ton is of the highest, Yale graduate,
and a club man, and the heart of poor
Hebrew maiden, a Russian Jewess,
whose life has been spent amidst the
worlds humblest, and who has rolled
cigars year in and year out that the
mother and five other children might
have bread and shelter. Cupid has
strangely linked the proud name of John
Graham Phelps Stokes and the unknown,
yet euphonious name, OF Rose Harriet
Pastor.

be called double play, and from one

Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel

taking DR.. Kilmer's Swamp=ROOt, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
sca1ding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being

1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is

MUTINEERS YIELDED
SURRENDERED RUSSIAN SHIP TO
KRUGER WITHOUT A SHOT.

cablegram from Odessa last night says:
The mutiny of Russian sailors collapsed as
suddenly as it began. The crew of the bat
tleship Kniaz Potemkin today surrendered
to Admiral Krugers squadron without firing
a shot Beyond this fact there is little to
be said with absolute certainty, for the ap-
proaches to the harbor and the sea front are
still barred by impossible masses of troops
and communication with the warships is
impossible.
A cablegram from st. Petersburg says:
The first news from Odessa of the surrender
OF the Kniaz Potemkin to Vice Admiral
Kruger's squadron reached here through the
Associated Press dispatch from Washington
conveying the text of a cablegram sent by
the American consul at Odessa, Mr.. Hee-
nan, as with the declaration of martial law

patches. Even the foreign embassies here
were without advices during the day. The

the bills in fourished old English are the
words, The United Colonies and twice in
small capitals the words seven dollars
On the sides in the same style are the
words continental currency and in small

TELEPHONE FISHING APPLIANCE.
Locating Fish in the Depths Of che Sea
by Sound

According to an official report made by
United States Consul General Guenther,
Norwegian has invented a telephone by
which the noise made by fish in the depths
of the sea can be heard. The instrument
consists of a microphone in a Theoretically
sealed steel box. 1t is connected with a
telephone on shipboard by electric wires,
each sound in the water being intensified
by the microp hone
The inventor. asserts that with it's aid the
presence of fish and approximately their
number and kind can be recognized. when
herrngs or smaller FISH are encountered in
large numbers they make whistlinis noise,
and The sound made by Goldfish Is more like
bowling. II they come near the submarine
telephone their motion can be distinguished.
The flow of water through the giIls pro-
duces a noise similar to the iabored breath
ing of quadruped, and the motion OF tie
Ans produces a dull rolling sound.

wood near the port after a promise that
better food would be given them.

would lead US to believe that anti
Russian journalism, melted by the
fast-increasing Jewish control of the
worlds press agencies, is responsible
for the feeling, and that the feeling is
over-warm. The writer makes state
ment he would have the impartial
reader weigh carefully-that Russia
has never yet repudiated her obliga-
lions.
The anti-Russian feeling is of decid-
ed strength, and the attitude Of Ameri-
ca towards Russian craftsmanship Is
not so very different from that OBJ
tanning over in the mother country.
The Fortnightly contributor, whom we
have quoted above, asserts that Rus
sian craftsmanship to the average
Englishman is synonym for false
hood, while Russian ambassador is
an Annanias in the flesh. The duplic-
ity and mendacity of Russian states
manship is an article Of faith with
Englishmen, about which it is useless
to contend. The Russians claim, how

bad faith, the time and the circum-

builded on straightforwardness-at
least SO the Anglo-Saxon believes-and

are employed rather than the use OF
cuplicity. The Anglo-Saxon declares
