The Duty of u Gentleman.

On another occasion, having return ed from playing poker ut the club, my grandfather said:
 When a man is hard up he should borrow. but he must devote his encr, gies to paying back and remaining tue equal of the man from whom he has borrowed. If he cannot pay back, let him be frank about 1t, for it is better to steal than to cheat"
 And again:
 "To ride straight and to shoot straight, to win money checrfully and to lose 1t cheerfully, never to be boor, ishly in debt or swiuishly drunk, to en- toy flowers and music, and if possible to be in love with at least one good woman, is half the duty of a gentle man."
 whats the other half grandpa| had asked him.
 Why, to be a gentleman, of course. -Gouvcrucur Morris ia Reader Maga' zine.

Reading a Telegram.

There are two members of the racing fraternity, both ardent horse owners, whose early education was sadly neg lccted, and neither can read. Both conceal to the best of their ability their shortcomings in this regard One of them received telegram the other day, but he could not read 1t and did not wish to expose his ignorance. He met the second horseman, and as he was looking anything but pleasant he Eas accosted with:
 What's the matter? You look like trouble"
 'Trouble? Sure. Just read that" And he thrust the telegram into his friends hands.
 Well, I should say it was trouble. was the unexpected relSy. I'm sorry for you. old fellow" And the tele- gram was handed back, neither being any wiser as to it's contents.
 At this juncturc o stable boy came whlstling along, and the recipient of the message hailed him with jOcular remark and after quizzing him awhile said:
 I'll bet you cant rcud, son."
 Huh. that's where you're way off. kin read as good aS you kin
 Well. let's hear you read that. If you can it's two bit piece for you"
 The harmless telegram was read, ana now both of the men are wondering what the other meant by saying the message denoted trOuble.-San Fran cisco Chronicle.

JAPs WOULD FORCE A DECISIVE
ENGAGEMENT WITH kURO-
PATkIN's FORCES.
FEAR RETREAT OF RUSSIANS
ISLANDERS BELIEVE TROOPS OF
THE CAR WILL FIGHT ONLY
| REAR GUARD ACTION.

London, March "a dispatch from
Toxic to the Daily Telegraph states
that the Japanese are endeavoring to
force a decisive battle in Manchuria,
but that 1t is feared General Kuropat-
kin will retreat, fighting rear guard
action.
Reports from the Shakhe river indi-
cate, says the same correspondent,
that the Russian morale Is seriously
impaired and that there are numerous
voluntary surrenders, not only Of
Poles and Jews. but of recently ar
rived European troops. They relate
that rumors are current in the army
that General Kuropatkin has been re-
called, and knowledge of the internal
troubles in Russia causes deep de-
preston In the army.
Reports are current at Toxic, but
not confirmed officially, that the Japa-
nese have occupied Sakhalien.

TO MEET IN OCTOBER
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT WILL
SUMMON A SPECIAL SES-
SION OF CONGRESS.
RAIL WAY RATE LEGISLATION
CHIEF EXECUTIVE ANXIOUS TO
HAVE THAT SUBJECT Dis
POSED OF EARLY.
RAILWAY RATE LEGISLATION

Washington, March 3.-The date
which President Roosevelt has in mind
for the convention of the extraordin-
ary session of congress to enact the
proposed railway rate legislation is
October 2. The second day or Octo-
Der is long way off, and Mr.. Roose-
velt has not, of course, absolutely de-
eided on that date or any other. That
he expects to bring congress together
early in the fall. however. there is no
manner OF doubt in the minds of those
who are even little in the confidence
Of the president. The first week in
October will probably be the time.
It is now about three weeks since
Mr.. Roosevelt abandoned the idea of
getting any railway legislation during
the regular session ending March 4.
Time and again he had made the state
ment, however, that if congress should
refuse to carry through this legisla-
ton he should call an extra session
either in the spring or in the fall Of
this year.
This statement was made even be-
fore he had given up hope that the de-
sired programme could be carried
through at the regular session; but 1t
was some time before the abandon
ment of this hope that he gave up the
idea of calling the threatened extra
session as early as April or May.
Reasons for Presidents Decision.
The order in which these conclu-
sions regarding rate legislation and
the extra session were reached by the
presidential mind were, therefore, as
follows: First. there must be carried
through a comprehensive scheme of
railway legislation at the present short
session of congress; if not, an extra
session will be called either next
spring or early next fall; second, ii
the desired programme is not carried
through this winter it may not be ex-
third, it Is apparent that the senate
will not enact the desired legislation
at the present session; fourth, con.
gress shall be convened In extra ses-
stcn early next fall, probably the first
week in October.
The fact Is the president wishes to
have the regular session of next win
ter unhampered by railway legislation,
for he is thoroughly resolved that the
Dingley tariff law should be amended
before the next regular session of con-
gress adjourns in the spring or sum-
mer of 1906

frenzy of remorse, interrupting com.
panion at the steel mill in Canons-
burg, who was reading to him an ac-
count OF the hanging of Eugene Bloch
at Allentown on Tuesday. He Is now
In the Washington county jail await
ing hearing on the charge Of the
murder to which he has confessed and
for which his brother has been execut-
ed. He is a German Jew, twenty-six
years cid and formerly lived in Phila-
delphia. His brother was hanged for
the alleged murder of Mrs. Kate Fal-
Finger, on Aug. 6, 1908. Adolph Bloch
declared to the authorities after the
item had been read to him that he
himself killed Mrs. Falzinger and that
the brother who had been hanged was
guiltless. Bloch is q mill worker,
reads newspapers but little and says
he knew, nothing of the trial, c0nvic-
tion and execution of his brother un-
til Thursday.
The murder of Mrs. Falzinger was a
brutal one. Her throat was cut and
her dead body was found hours after
the crime. Eugene Bloch was arrest
ed He claimed that Mrs. Falzinger
had been attacked by o stranger and
that hQ was irving tO defend the wo-
man when she was killed Adolph
Bloch says his brother knew him to
be guilty and suffered death rather
than betray nina. When brought to the
jail here Bloch was In a state Of col
lapse. He gave out statement in
which he acknowledged his guilt and
expressed the hope that no mercy
would be shown him for the terrible
crime he committed. ''-s-~~

dispatch from General Kuropatkin the
commander-in-chief Of the army in
Manchuria gives details of various at
tacks by the Japanese the last few
DAYS, and the Associated Press CORE

two days. private dispatch just re-

sentence: within two weeks you
may expect great events"
The Siberian railroad, which is be-
ing worked to its full capacity by pure
~ military traffic, Is about to have
further burden imposed upon it, name
ly, that of feeding the resident nom
combatant population. The stocks Of
provisions in IrkUts!l and other towns
In Siberia were not as larEe as usual
at the beginning of the winter and are
now running low. The government
has been informed that provisions
must be imported by the railroad or
that the towns will be face to face
with famine within fortnight. This
will necessitate some delay in forward
ing of military supplies, which are
sorsly needed at the present moment

SLACK CLOUDS AGAIN LOWER.
Industrial Situation in Russia Becomes
Worse.

st. Petersburg, March 3.-Black
clouds are again lowering over the in
dustrial situation of Russia. The
strike at Moscow has been resumed
onea large scale, anarchy reigns in the
Caucasus and at st. Petersburg the
measures which the government ad-
vanced to quiet discomfort and restore
good relations between masters and
men appear tor have failed, with the
probability of causing the storm to
break anew.
The labor delegates representing the
whole of the industrial population OF
St Petersburg, and who were elected
to choose fifty members of the Schid-
lovski reconciliation commission, met
again Thursday and reaffirmed the
resolutions adopted the previous day,
which threatened, in case the demands
are not granted, not only to refuse to
elect labor representatives to the
commission but to order resumption
of the general strike.
These demands are for the release
Of imprisoned men, and freedom from
arrest; unhampered speech, full pub
Mcity of meetings of the commission
and the abolition of the censorship.
A practical ultimatum was deliver
ed, calling for an answer during the
day. There Is little expectation that
the government will grant the condi-
tions demanded. The strike already
has assumed large proportions here,
about $4,000 men being out. Among
those who struck Thursday are the
employees of the st. Petersburg shops
of the Warsaw railroad. The strike
has not yet extended to the trainmen,
but the leaders may decide to order
them out in order to para1yze one of
the most important railroads in Rus
