TOKYO, April 2S.-There is less ex-
citement in this city about the Rus
sian fleet than there is in Paris and in
London, judging from dispatches which
come here from those cities. Compe-
tent members of the naval staff, in
cluding at least one admiral, are rath-
er skeptical that Rojestvensky will at
tempt to make the sea of Japan to
fight the Japanese fleet. They point
out that he has been now three weeks
in the China sea. using up both coal
and provisions and making practically
no progress towards his alleged OBJ
jective point. Every day that ne re-
mains in water reduces the speed of
his ships. and hence their fighting
power when in action
II is not regarded as probable that
he believes for one moment the Japa-
nese navy will go out of its way TO
meet him in the south China sea, and
so the belief is gaining ground here
that the commander Of the Baltic
squadron has imperative orders from
St. Petersburg not to sail north of
Paracles island pending certain nego-
tiations for peace which undoubtedly
are being considered in more than one
European capital.
Nebogatoff's Ships Dubious
Naval chiefs do not believe that he
is waiting for Nebogatoff's ships. They
are five iron clads meant only for coast
defense, with a speed of less than ten
miles an hour under pressure. The
only two serviceable fighting vessels
are a battleship and cruiser, and their
value is yet TO be determined.
Rojestvensky cannot now attempt to
sail into another French port in Cochin
China. He is fully provisioned in coal
and supplies for a journey to Vladi-
vostok, and his only object in delay is
to keep away from Admiral Togos
fleet pending possible peace, 1t is re-
garded as certain here that he will be
heard from in another neutral port
and probably in one which has no fleet
that can enforce neutrality.

Automobile riding as a reason of
the death of unborn children is now

health department before Health
Commissioner Snodgrass was puzzled
at the explanat ton of the three chill

sioner. THE auto is new one on
me. Overwork. weakness of the
mother. asphyxiation or congenital
debility are the causes generally as
signed to the still-born babe.
THE determination of death being
due to an auto ride is easily explained
when one considers that the rate Of
speed with which some chauffeurs
drive their cars often lurches the oc-
cupants of the auto from side to side.
Severe jolting, such as is the daily
experience of auto rides, would pro-
duce effects similar to those of a

Sake and Bet It on Races.
New York, Oct. 27-For two OF
three years certain wealthy men O!
Brooklyn have been visited regularly
i by a woman who collected for hospit-
ais and aid societies. She was per-
haps 35 years old. She dressed plainly
but neatly. Her manner was gentle
and not too pleading, and her express
sion one of sweet sadness. She never
talked of religion unless pressed to do
so, then she always said she had aban-
doned the frivolous life to do the WORK
OF the Lord. She had credentials from
Bethesd hospital, the Wayside home,
the Little Mothers Aid Society, and the
Home hospital. When givers were
chary she produced these.

tracks during the last two or three
years a spruce woman, a little faded,
but still showing traces of former

You've guessed it. The collector for
charity and the racegoing actress are
one and the same person. Her real
name probably is Mildred Curran, all
tho she is known as Mary Arreson and
Annette Smith.
Some time this season word came
to some of the charities on Miss Cur
rams list that illegal collections had
been made in their name. The Brook
lyn board Of charities began to inves-
tigate. Isaac H. Carey, one OF their
directors, remembered for three years
that he had been giving 50 and IS bills
quite regularly to a gentle lady, VINO
presented good credentials.
Carey laid for her with marked 81

was sorry, but he couldn't see it. Some

This story was told by an old physi-
elan who had practiced for nearly fifty
years in a small country town. One
day he was summoned to a farmhouse
where he found a woman in a high fe
yer and evidently exceedingly i'll. He
said to her husband, who was the only
other person in the house:
Your wife is very sick ami must
have nothing to eat except milk and
beef tea, but l want you to give her a
cup of one or the other every two
hours" When he came the next morn
ing and asked about his patient her
husband said:
That beef tea don't agree with her,
doctor; it certainly don't. She began
to feel bad as soon as she took it."
That's odd" said the doctor. You
didn't give her any little bits of the
meat in it. did you:"
NO, sir; l strained it first OH account
Of the grounds"

In the early days of dentistry hicko-
~ plug was put into the cavity to fill
the space where a tooth ought to be
This plug had to be gently pounded into
its desired position. Old Judge Peck
ham was somewhat addicted to strong
language and when the dentist began
his work the Judge INDUCED in some
classic comment. AS the tapping of the
plug continued he threw all dignity to
the four winds Of heaven, and his Ian
guage became decidedly more forcible
than elegant" When, however, he arose
from the chair, after what seemed to
him an inte~minable period of agony,
he pulled our all the stops in his vocab-
ulary for grand climax. The impress
sion on his listener seems to have been
deep and lasting. AS the judge passed
out the dentist grimly remarked to a
waiting patient:
wasn't it beautiful? 1t wasn't really
necessary to pound half so long, but l
did so enjoy his infection that l almost
pounded the hickory plug into splinters.
