Hopeless War in Caucasus.

London, November 1.-The St. Peters, burg correspondent of the Daily Mail says:
 War, hopeless war, prevails in the Cau- casus The Trans-Caucasus railroad the sole line is effectually crippled, and rein forcements have been compelled to march Seventeen bridges have been wrecked, and the rails have been torn up in forty places. Telegraph lines have been de- stroyed and Georgia and Daghestan are isolated. Every male Is in arms and the war office is hopeless.'' The Bucharest correspondent of the Daily Mail sends the following: There is terrifying news from Kish- ineff. The city is strewn with dead. An unwieldly provincial government has been established. Famine relgns throughout Besarabia, and the Jews are taking refuge in cellars, where they are dying by whole- sale. A mob of a thousand rioters en- gagged in massacre of Jews in Ismail, Besarabia, and force of dragons, ar irving from Bendery, fired on the mob. Killing forty-two and wounding IA per- sons

"A Royal Lover"

A comfortably filled house saw Daniel Ryan at the Bijou last evening in his version of Don Caeser,' entitled "A Royal Lover" The romance has to do with the love story of Mariana, the Madrid street dancer. and Don Caesar de Bagan.
 MT. Ryan presented the part of Don Caesar, meritorously. As a whole the play was well acted and the support was acceptable Harry C.. Brown as Don Jose, the Kings favorite; Phyllis Gill; more, as Lagarille, boy; and Miss Alice Fleming as Mariana, the dancing girl, were perhaps, most praiseworthy.
 While close attention was given to the rendition of "A Royal Lover," the au- dience was not so enthusiastic as Bijou patrons usually are.
 MT. Ryan and his company will pre- sent "A Royal Lover" at the regular Tuesday matinee this afternoon. Tonight and Thursday matinee "Othello' will be presented, Wednesday and Friday nights Richard IT," will be the attraction, and Thursday and Saturday nights and Saturday matinee Durmar's Monte Cristo" will be played.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS IN
 BLOOM AT RAJAH LODGE

Rajah Lodge, November 6.-(Speeial)- perfect November weather has turned the woods into a scarlet and gold world so emphasized are the brown and rus set tints. and here the forests are like a huge bouquet, while lar away siluetted against the autumn sky is the mountain line now bright with a thousand eolors.
 November at the lodge has brought with it's changing glories a new beauty to the conservatories, for while nature has been painting the forests, their colors are reproduced in the petals of the ehry- santhemums hundreds now in riotous bloom in the private greenhouses at Rajah Lodge.
 Certainly 1t is that at this season the chrysanthemum reigns supreme and here where it has reached the highest state of cultivation 1t is easy to understand why even the American beauties and the or chids grown here in such profusion yield the palm for brief season to their only rival
 Whether massed in the greenhouses, where they present a glowing picture, or when a single chrysanthemum attracts the eye by it's unusual size or color, they each possess a peculiar beauty, and un- less one is a flower connoisseur it would be difficult to decide which of the many floral beauties eclipse the other. Some of the rarest chrysanthemums are pure white, untouched with color and they grow to enormous proportions The russet tints are so rich that in contrast to the ~I,n H1,F hs1f nA more to be prized than those that rely on their opaque beauty. The different shades of yellow make the most glowing spot and when there are dozens of them refecting the golden glory of an autumn day, the eye fingers upon them as upon a rare water color. The chrysanthemum shading from white into a delicate pink has the charm of the rose, and perhaps not even the rose world possesses more infinite variety than that seen in the chrysanthemum. Here at the Rajah Lodge special attention has been given for years to the cultivation of the chrysanthemum and the success in growing them has made the greenhouses famous through out the state. This season they have again shown the possibilities of chrysan- themum culture and rival both in variety and in size the magnificent specimens brought from the eastern cities 1t is a picture that quite beggars all descrip- tion, that presented by the chrysanthe- mum in its limitless colors and the grow ing appreciation for it's possibilities is not to be wondered at when 1t is seen to what a high state of cultivation has been reached.
 The chrysanthemum is by no means the empress of the flowers when in tho Rajah Lodge conservatories the roses and orchids are at the height of their beauty, but this season when the cool days has caused the gardener to put the palms in

YER UP IN A BALLOON.
Astonished Yokel's Pat Reply to Lost
 Aeronaut's Question.

From the Washington Post.
 Of Baldwin, the ill-fated aeronaut, a Cleveland man said recently:
 He once took me with him a-balloon- ing The experience was odd and fright ening. A gale came up, and became air. sick-a condition worse than seasickness. It was now necessary to descend, but Baldwin wanted to know in what part of the country we doated.
 With our glasses we swept the land- scape, but in the failing light only one house was visible. and near by man worked in a field. Baldwin. with great skill, brought down the balloon till it was only about a hundred feet above the mans head.
 "'Hir he shouted. Hi!
 "The workman looked up in amazement.
 "'Where are we!?' cried Baldwin, as we darted onward.
 "'Where are ye,' repeated the man in his slow, dull way.
 "'Yes. Where are we%
 "'Why,' came the reply, almost fn- audible, we were now so far past-'why, yer up in a ballon, hain't ye?'

ACCUSED OF VIOLATING
 NATIONAL PENSION LAW

where he unlisted in the Tenth Infantry I & army under the name of William Thompson.
 The records show that Thompson or Kendrick was discharged August 31, 1865. He returned to Alabama, where according to the testimony of a number of citizens of Shelby county he conducted mer- chandise business at Vandiver.
 On February 29. 1904 Thompson or Kend- rick executed a claim for a pension under the name of William Thompson. The claim was examined by King of the pen sion bureau and charges were made against Kendrick.
 A number of Shelby county citizens tes- tified in regard to good character, and the justice of the peace before whom the affidavit was made gave his testimony in which the facts relative to the state ments made by Kendrick were gken in full.
 The federal grand jury that will con vene today will probably investigate the case during the coming session.

FOLK FOR LAW
STRENUOUS YOUNG MAN TELLS
OF THE NEW "MIssoURI
IDEA."

New York, March 2s. "There is
entirely too little respect for law in
America. In every state we find law
a nullity for policy's sake. All men,
good and bad, should be compelled to
keep all law, good or bad, because it
is the law"
Governor Joseph w. Folk Of Mis-
souri,, in his address last night before
the Missouri society in the Waldorf
Astoria, made strong plea for better
citizenship. He declared also that
with laxity in observance of the law
the nation was imperiled by another
danger. He referred to the indiffer-
ence of citizens on election days.
Tells of missouri Idea"
The Missouri idea means the en-
forcement of law" said the governor,
"and that If the law be bad, the rem
edy is to repeal, not ignore it. Disre-
gard of one law breeds disrespect for
all law. In allowing some laws to go
unenforced we reap harvest in hav.
ing all laws broken. The law may
not be to ones liking, but the answer
1t is the law should be sufficient for
law abiding"
