FACTS AND
FIGURES

St. Petersburg, Feb. 15.-Cspe-
cial.) The official returns for the
first year of the war. not including
the Port Arthur statistics, show that
t30,439 officers and men passed
through the hospitals going north,
of which number 1,7la officers We're
wounded and 1.3OS were sick: 53.-
$50 were wounded and 72.5S1 were
sick; 1907 subsequently died in hos
pitfalls: GAIA wounded and 11.24S
sick We're invalided; 9,429 returned
10 Russia and 21.55I are still in
hospitals. over 1900 therefore
presumably returned to the ranks.
These figures do not include the
number of those killed on the field
of battle. nor probably those slight
ly injured, who remained temporar-
ily in the field hospitals, The show
ing is considered remarkably good.
The proportion dying in hospitals is
very low. the total loss to the active
army in wounded and sick being
little over $4,000. of whom almost
half have still chance of returning
to the ranks. The other half will
be invalided or returned to Russia.
The killed are estimated at between
10000 and $4,000.

THOUSANDS OF ELK.

Pinedale, Colo. Feb. 10 Reserve
Rider Yarnell has arrived from Ken
dali after making an inspection of
the game reserve: He reports that
elk are more numerous than they
have been for many years. Just
above the White cabin on Green riv-
er 1t is estimated that over 10000
are assembled. Mr. Yarnall saw one
bunch which was the largest he has
ever observed. 1t commenced close
to the river and extended back up
the slope for over four miles, the ami
mails being very close together. He
estimated that in this one bunch
there were over 1000 elk. On this
side of the mountain sheep are also
to be seen, but they are keeping well
above the timber line.

ADMITTED
THE CHARGE

Washington, Feb. Is (Special.) }
The second chapter of the episode
between Mr.. Sullivan of Massachu-
setts, and Mr. Hearst of New York,
occurred in the house yesterday.
when Mr.. Sullivan again took the
floor on question of privilege and
related the circumstances leading up
to the Indictment and conviction of
his father and himself for man
slaughter. In decided contrast OF
the remarks of the day before, when
the two men heaped upon each other
epithets and charges of a serious ma
ture, Mr.. Sullivan's statement yes
terday was devoid of any further at
tack on his colleague, and was
straight recitation of the occurrence
referred to by Mr. Hearst.
Mr.. Sullivan admitted the charge
but said that he had been only tech
nically guilty, and was permitted TO
leave the court a free man, without
serving a days imprisonment or be
ing subjected to fine. His father
had been imprisoned year and a
half, but on the introduction of new
evidence, his father had been par
doned
Mr.. Sullivan's statement was lis
tened to with marked attention and
at it's conclusion, he was warmly ap
plauded, many members leaving
their seats and shaking his hand
Mr.. Hearst was not present during
the time he spoke.

Grand functions water supply

Some interesting figures are given
out by Superintendent Vedder OF the
city water works, regarding the
amount of water consumed in Grand
Junction each month.
During the month of January, 49,
512. 900 gallons of water were
pumped by the big city pumps. Each
day the amount pumped amounted
to 100000 gallons. Nineteen and
half hours out of every twenty
four were required to pump TINS
amount. This is at the rate of ~
600 gallons every hour.
1t is hard to realize that this i'm,
mense volume of water is required
monthly to meet the demands OF the
city.
The city water works have been
working most satisfactorily all win
ter and the service has brought forth
little or no complaint from the citi'
zens.

When a person is i'll he exerts

very often the case. Drugs won't

stolen Applause.

A rector living in Iceland had an IN
pleasantaess With the peasantry in re-
gard TO the payment of tithes, and it
happened thereafter that when he or
any of his family appeared abroad
they We're received with cries of Mad
dog! Mad Gog.'' and other shouts equal
ly emphatic and unpleasant. The dean
and his family were also saluted in
like name because they insisted up
ON visiting the prescribed citizen, and
this gave rise one day to a curious Incl
dent.
Anstey, Il poet popular in Dublin
and we'll known there as the trans
lator of Goetlle's Faust" drove from
Limerick to Dublin in the car Of the
dean to mat;a the latter a short visit.
The usual SCOUTING followed, but, being
slightl..- deas., the poet heard only the
cries and net the words of threatening
and abu, At dinner he said to his
host, with a beaming c%ountenance:
"Mr. Dean, I never knew I was so
well known down here. Fame surely
travels farther than we think. I as
sure you that nearly the whole way
from Limerick I was loudly cheered
by the people,"

Value Of Newspaper Space.


Chester (Pa.) Times.-Advertising
by the use Of placards posters and
similar means has its advantages but
It has been demonstrated beyond per-
adventure that the expenditure that
brings the best and most lasting re-
suits comes through the medium OF
the daily newspaper.
There Is agfreshness about the news
paper that cannot be found in the
poster or dodger while the daily APP
pearance Of the advertisement to-
getIer with the features of the daily
journal impress the readers as other
forms Of advertising cannot.
That this view of the value Of space
in the neswpaper is correct is shown
by the liberal use OF the daily Jour-
nalSby all Of the successful merchants
who contract for large space and ex.
pend many hundreds of dollars in
this medium. Everybody reads the
papers, and that is the secret of tile
use of theil columns by men who
wish to sell their goods.

SYDNEY SMITH.
A. q Country Parson and as a Peace
making Maxistrate.

For twenty years Sydney Smith re-
NAMED in Yorkshire, and, though his
ideas Of clerical duty We're not those
of today, yet it will not be denied that
he was a vigorous country parson, en-
tering into the pursuits and the daily
life Of his humble %neighbors and doing
his utmost to improve their lot. His
descriptions of his life and surround
ings at Tcston are among the most de-
lightful of his humorous writings. Ev-
cry one has heard of Annie Kay, the
little country girl, made like a mile
stone who, christened Bunch, be
came the best butler in the county,
Of the rawboned riding horse Calamity,
which flung me over his head into a

cheered and the village dogs barked;;"
of his four draft oNen-Tug and Lug,
Haul and Crawl-of which Tug and
Lug took TO fainting and required
buckets of sal volatile and Haul and
Crawl to lie down in the mud" AS a
magistrate Sydney Smith became ia
nous for making up local quarrels and
for dealing gently with p%oachers. The
game laws, like a good Wing, he could
not abide. and it stirred his honest
wrath to reflect that "for every ten
p%heasants which huttered in the wood
one English peasant was rotting in
Jail" Like Charles Kingsley at Evers-
ley in after years, he refrained frosn
shooting. "lf you shoot" he said, "the
squire and the poacher will both con-
slider you as their natural enemies, and
I thought it more clerical to be at peace
with both" Rev. Canon Vaughan in
Longman's Magazine.

tree in every sense of that term and
lives its allotted number of years (from

great birch family Go, although its
height under the most favorable condi-
tons seldom exceeds ten inches. Whole

Of Greenland are covered with thick

plant. and in many places where the
soil is uncommonly poor and frozen

In less than FIVE minutes he had
