SUBMARINES TERRoRIzE THEM
Russians at Manila Tell of Attacks by
Hidden Foe.

Manila. June 5-Rear Admiral En-
quists executive officer, who reached
Manila with the three Russian cruis-
ers that escaped humiliation by Jap
anese in the battle of the Sea of Jap
an, says:
when the battle began the admiral
was aboard the cruiser Oleg, which
was hit a number of times by the
large shot. There was an incessant
rain of shot from quickfiring guns and
the ship was soon badly damaged.
THE admiral transferred his flag to
the Aurora, which then drew the COM
bined fire of many torpedo boat de-
stroyers at close range and an attack
of submarines. We were overwhelm-
ed by the latter A mist arising, we
made a dash for the open sea, and
were followed by the Oleg and Jemt-
chug."
Rear Admiral Enquist is uninjured.
Captain Egorieff of the Aurora was
killed by a shell which struck the
coming tower and he was buried at
sea the day before reaching Manila.
On the Aurora three officers were
wounded, 20 of the crew were killed
and SO were wounded.
The losses on the Oleg were 13 of
the crew killed and IS wounded. On
the Jemtchug the casualties were Il
junior officers killed and one wound
ed; IL of the crew killed and 80 were
wounded.
From their appearance the Russian
vessels are not damaged below the
water line. Their tunnels, however,
are riddled by large and small shot.
Several large shells pierced them
amidships and number of guns were
dismounted.
All the Russian officers interviewed
claim that large number of subma-
rines caused confusion and defeat
Rear Admiral Enquist had cabled
his arrival to the emperor of Russia.
The battleship Ohio and the cruiser
Cincinnati are guarding the Russian
ships. No official action as to their
disposition has been taken yet.

CARS MINISTER'S FOR WAR.
Meet Stormy Demands of Radicals
With Harsh Orders.

Meet Stormy Demands of Radicals
With Harsh Orders.
The Russian government has shown
that it has not weakened in this hour
of disaster. Instead of yielding to the
stormy demands, which the radicals
hoped Admiral Rojestvensky's defeat
would force the government to grant,
the emperor issued a ukase Sunday
comforting greatly increased powers
on Governor General Trepoff, making
him assistant minister of the interior
in place of Major General Rydzefsky
This ukase, which entrusts almost
dictatorial powers to the head of the
imperial police to control the agitation
now almost peremptorily demanding a
representative government, and to put
down the disorders with which the rev.
olutionists are threatening the coun.
try, makes him responsible to the en-
perer.
The document is of the deepest i'm
portance in the present state of disor-
der and indicates that, while steadily
proceeding in its plans for the fulfill
ment of the imperial promises contain
ed in the rescript of March 8, the gov
eminent is determined not to be swerv-
ed from its purpose by the pressure of
military and naval disasters, but in its
own time and as speedily as possible
to give the nation the legislative body
on which the Bouligan commission has
been working. In it may perhaps also
be read the intimation that the war
will continue, and that the question
OF peace will not be submitted to a
zemsky sober.

The trade of toothstainer, followed
in eastern Asia, is as odd a calling
as any. The natives prefer black
teeth to the whittier kind. and the
toothstainer, with a little box of col.
oring matter and brushes, calls on his
customers and stains their teeth. The
process is not unlike that of backing
boot, for fine polish is given to the
teeth. The pigment is harmless.

Poor Russia.

Poor Russia is passing through the waters.
The star Of hope which beamed above her a
ew weeks ago when the Gar promised free
''om to the people has become almost swallow
cd up in the murkey clouds of revolution.
Count Witte is struggling manfully to bring
order out of chaos. He has made concession
after concession, at last deposing Trepoff, who
'' hated by the masses, but each concession is
followed by demand for another. In the
meantime, the revolutionists keep up their
threatening parades and the street run red with
blood. No human eye can see the end. We
believe, though, that out of all this blood and
tumult nobler, greater Russia will be born.
The recent atrocities practiced upon the
Jews, especially i'll the city of Odessa, place a
foul stain upon the Russian name 1t is in
conceivable that people claiming to be civil
lied can practice such atrocities upon de-
fenceless people.

INTEMPERATE MEN.-One of the
New York banks has adopted a
most stringent rule against the
use of intoxicants by its employees.
Every man in the service Of the
bank has been required to sign an
agreement that he will not even
enter any place where intoxicants
are sold. The young men who
had signed this pledge were sum-
marily dismissed recently for TAX
ing a couple of young women into
fashionable restaurant after the
theater.-Mansfeld Journal.
And a similar rule is being en-
forced by railroads and other COR
porations. Men who are intem-
perate are not reliable, and it is
only question of time when the
man who is not temperate will find
it difficult, almost impossible, to
obtain employment -Shreueport

Judge Watkins Work.
Webster Signal. !

Judge John T. Watkins Congressman from this
district, is making a trip this week to Caddo,
Natchitoches, Sabine and DeSoto Parishes in con-
nection with his congressional work, preparatory
to leaving for Washington upon his return.
While he has not yet been sworn in as member
of Congress, he has been quite busy during the
summer with his congressional duties, remaining in
the district during the entire time. He has made
five public addresses in Bienville Parish, two in
DeSoto, two in VIM, and one each in Caddo Match
itoches and Webster since his election, urging the
people to the Importance of good roads, the estab
lishment of rural free delivery routes, in connection
with other subjects.
He urged the soil survey of Caddo, and other
parishes, which is being made. While only few
rural free delivery routes have been established in
the district he is now pressing applications for two
in Caddo Parish, two in Webster four in Benvile,
four in DeSoto and one in Sabine. Most of the ap-
plications for rural free delivery routes re-
ceived at the time of the outbreak of yellow fever
in the State, and the quarantnes prevented the
route agents from establishing the routes then
Judge Watkins has gone at his work in quiet,
buiness-like manner, and has succeeded in making
considerable headway in the establishment of rural
free delivery routes, new postoffces, etc. He is
giving especial attention to navigable streams,
the reclamation of alluvial lands, quarantines and
the regulation of railroad rates, his interviews on
these questions published in the public press evil
dencing mature thought and aggressive attitude.

The Prayer of Faith.

By Lawrence Highfeld.
To him who rules DER Israel,
We lift our hearts in prayer.
Trusting in sacred promises,
We cast on him our care.
We pray in faith, and, asking, yearn
Our hearts desire to see.
Yet faith means more, in scope and pow'r
Than mere expectancy.
God does not answer every prayer,
Yet not prayer is vain,
And faiths petitions can not fail,
Nor e'er unmarked remain.
We come to God In loving trust
That disappointment braves
Not with faith that thinks to get
Each hoon it asks and Graves;
But with faith answering, firm,
Which knows that God above
Heeds each request, knows ev'ry need,
And meets them all with love.
For he who never falls asleep
Hears every lisping cry.
He sympathizes with our griefs;
His love is ever nigh.
Faith knows that he is kind and Just.
That what he wills is best.
It lifts its prayers, content to ask,
And let God do the rest.

Our Winter Evenings.

Evenings make an important factor in our
life-our mental, moral, physical and financial
strength depend much upon the way we spend
our evenings. Day, with its many clamorous
cares and imperative duties, forces us to heed
how we spend it, but the soft, shadowy even
ing falls around us so silently, its work is done
so quietly, that few heed its Importance.
Go to the outcast and ask what brought him
to his present condition, the criminal and OBJ
tain the cause of his degradation, and they
will doubtless tell you that they turned from
their quiet evenings at home to find excitement
amid brilliant lights, jovial companions and
unhealthy places of amusement. Ask the
man who has made the battle of life success
and an honor, and he will tell you that in part
it was his well spent evenings after the duties
of the day were over, hours of mental inn
provement.
Men have learned to read, have laid the
foundation of lives of success and usefulness,
with no opportunities but such as they made
for themselves in their evenings-aud many
have held the foundation and carved out road
of ruin by reason of their wasted and misspent
evenings. From pleasant, genial home
evening, with it's cheerful fire, bright light,
warm hearts and cultivated minds, every mem
Der of the household will feel happier and
better, stronger to do and bear, clearer to plan,
more skillful to execute the duties of the day.
Guard well the evenings-let these silent
s'architects of fate'' build up bulwark of
strength and beauty to stand against the surg
ing waves of life
We have often seen it stated that reading
aloud is a link of rare strength and beauty.
The well selected reading of the winter even
ings will impart information, develop mental
end moral growth to an extent that willscarcely
seem creditable to those who have not tried it.
t will leave echoes of beauty resonant down
le long aises of years to come. The tastes
o.' children are thus formed and their minds
a,quire knowledge far beyond their years. In
after life some poetic gem or fragment of prose

self into some niche of their destiny, redolent
with the fragrance of ''the days that have

With books, music, magazines and good

DR.. S0uchOn'S Letter.
THE New Orleans Times-D Democrat.

The New Orleans Times-D Democrat
We print to-day communication from DR..
Souchon, President of the Louisiana State Board
of Health. The writer remarks that all "matters
relating to quarantine and to sanitation have been
carried out in the most approved fashion. He also
says that the Governor has asked for report from
the State Board on the yellow fever outbreak in
New Orleans, and processes a willingness to abide
by the Governors decision. Not word of which
answers in any respect single argument we have
heretofore presented for the vacation of their
offices by the Presidents of the State and City
Boards of Health.
No report of Dr. Souchon to the Governor can alter
the unalterabe fact that the surrounding States
quire, condition of resuming confidential rela-
tons with us, the retirement of these two officials,
believed by them to have been guilty of withhold
ing information to the existence of yellow fever
in this city. Those States will never forgive, if
we have gauged their sentiments correctly, the
action of the health authorities in permitting two
excursion trains Gone from Vicksburg and one from
Pensacola) to run into New Orleans when they knew
we'll there were number of cases of yellow fever
here. DR.. Souchon might speak with the tongue
OF men and angels in his report but sister States
will never, we are convinced, defer to his opinion or
regard either his or DR.. Kohnkes retention in the
places they hold other than as a constant
menace. 1t is equally safe to assert that the out
lying parishes of Louisiana will not repose sufficient
confidence in these officials to justify their retention
in office. Such being the state of affairs it is clear
y the duty of both of those health officers to vacate
their positions. The public good is to be con-
sdered than the claims of two individuals, however
estimable they may be. Broad interests are at
stake and they should recognize the fact The
people of Louisiana recognize it, we believe, and
are in favor of change of officials

Local Life Insurance.
New Orleans States. |

New Orleans Statesl
The States is glad to know that it's arguments re-
garding the wisdom and the necessity of the South
establishing its own life insurance companies have
not been in vain. Announcement has been made
that within a few weeks life insurance company
will be organized in New Orleans with capital of
not less than 81 100000. The plan has been dis
cussed and agreed upon by number of local cap
ltaliss who have every reason to believe that the
company will be great business success
1t is the purpose, we are told, of the organizers
to make bid for the life insurance business of this
State and to this end safe insurance will be given
policy holders at lower rates than are charged by
many OF the old Northern companies. A careful
examination of figures which have been obtained
from these old companies show that in the past
years they drew out of Louisiana in insurance
premiums the sum of s25, 100000, and in the same
period of time had paid only $4,000 to policy
holders or their benefciaries
AS we have shown, time and again, it will be far
better for our commercial and Industrial interests
to keep this money in Louisiana by purchasing local
insurance. instead of sending it to the Golfers of the
great insurance companies of the East, where the
money thus drained from the South is not only used
to supply the Republican party with campaign funds
with which to elect its Presidents, but is absorbed
IN the schemes OF speculation by which great for
tunes are created for the McCas and the McCurdvs.
Ihere IS no reason whatever why the millions of
dollars that Louisiana spends every year for insur-
ance should not be kept at home by putting it in
local companies where it can be reinvested in the
many enterprises engaged in the industrial deyel-
opment of the State

In these shortening autumn days, when ma

with the radiance of it's dying smile, questions
OF the totality of life's meaning rise unbidden

swiftly changing pageant, that we call life
Spring, with its dancing blossoms and spark
ling effervescence of joy; summer, with it's
languid luxury of frose-scented safety autumn,
dying in mist-wrapped landscape and flame
painted forests, fitting funeral pyre of the
dead year; winter, folding its white winding
sheet over the still bosom and the unresponsiye
face OF the dear earth-mother! What do they
mean, these changing moods, that will not
last? Pass, pass, laughter and tears love and
hate, hope and despair, faith and doubt, the
strenuous and the languid hour, welded bliss
and deaths divorce, chid's laugh and mans
battle-cry, plaudits and Kisses, dream and
reality, we press you to our hearts, but you
will not tarry. Ye are but the fashings Of
