Bitter Struggle in Prospect.

Mukden Feb. 27.-Fighting con-
tinues In front and west of Tie Pass.
On the extreme east the japanese
have taken the outlying positions,
and they now threaten the main de-
defense.
Owing to their formidable attack,
IL is thought that the Japanese ar
tillerymen are veterans from Port
Arthur. commanded by Gen. Nogi.
Forty wounded Russians arrived
at Mukden today and 400 are ex-
pected tomorrow. Other indications
point to an unusual struggle.
A clustering sDowstorm all day is
ending in bitter wind, which may
modify the threatened conflict. The
region of the japanese attack is in
lightly wooded and high mountains,
favorable to the Russian operations,
The force of japanese, of unknown
strength, Joined with Chinese bril-
gands west of Kungshaialin is still
menacng the Russians in that re-
sion.
The cannonade along the Russian
center diminished in intensity today.

only known casualties, and the relief
committee has the situation In hand.
The relief committee has system
atized It's work to such an extent
that no deserving person rendered
destitute by the CONFEDERATION has suf-
fered for the ordinary comfort of
life.
Nearly every residence In the city
has been thrown open to such per-
sons. and the management of the
Oaklawn race track has rendered the
use of It's grand stand and cottages.
That the devastated district will
be speedily rebuilt is evidenced by
expressions heard on all sides. Prop
erty owners are already planning
with architects, and in three instan-
ces carpenters began work on tempo
rary structures.

Cincinnati, Feb. 27.-The ice gor-
ges in the Ohio river in this vicini-
ty. which were the heaviest known
for many years, began to give way
Saturday night, several breaks oc-
curing at various points. Although
the river rose several feet during the
night, the ice was so heavy that 1t
soon caught again. forming new gor-
ges. Property damage of about $751;
eco was caused by these early move
ments.
Tied up along the banks of the
Ohio and Licking rivers at this point
were twenty-five steamers, towboats
and large wharfboats, valued con-
servatively at 100000. and so bar
ges, one-third of them loaded and the
value of barges and loads aggregat-
ing $1.170,000. Besides this, more
than fifty gasoline launches and 9TH
er pleasure boats, small wharfboats
and households brought the total val
ne Of river property which was me-
naced by the combination of ice and
low water to figure well above $2,-
600, 900. For more than a month the
various crews have been doing all in
their power to keep clear water
around the boats so that some free
dom for movement of paddle wheels
and less danger of being dragged
away with the heavy ice might be Sc
cured.

ABOUT GRAPE FRUIT
How to Select It and the Best Way to
Prepare It for Serving.
New York Times

New York Times.
In selecting grape fruit, the safest
general rule Of choice would 81 sn to be
to judge by weight. Other things being
equal, the heavier one Of these golden
globes the better. If relatively light in
weight it will be found juiceless and UNI
satisfactory. Color, skin, texture, rust
and other superficial indications may be
guides, but If 80 they are not infallible.
Grape fruit should not, as rule, be
eaten fresh from the fruiterer's stall
If kept in the house week or ten days,
open to the air and in an equable tenn
perature, it improves beyond recogni-
ton. Until decay begins, the softer Ii
is the better.
The way Of preparing the grape fruit
in which il is really the most delight
full is one which few know, and fewer
would practice, ince il involves 4
great deal Of trouble. Il is: Remove
the yellow skin by close pairing, and
{ them peel away the white skin until the
pulp sacs are exposed and divested Of
all the bitter integument- Then very
carefully separate tho segments one
from another.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1905-04-21

and assumes the consistency of parch-
ment, which is exactly the result de-
sired. In eating it, take a sharp
pointed knife and split the segment
open along its thin elge, remove the
loose seeds, and turn the segment inside
out. It is then eaten from the fingers,
and all that is bitter or fibrous or other
than delightful remains attached to the
fragment Of parchment returned to the
plate. The trouble is repaid.

!, This can be done, but not hastily nor or
as a surgical operation. Servants al
most always make failure Of it. As
Stunning that it is done neatly, however,
the segments are stood, thin-edge up,
on napkin-covered plate-the func-
tion Of the napkin being to absorb any
| juice which may leak from wounds in
the membrane of the segments. They
are then set aside for twentyfour hours
or longer in dry, warm place. Dur
