St. Petersburg (By Cab!e).-A rumor
spread throughout the city that Cen
eral Kuropatkin had been killed. This
rumor was connected sometimes with a
report that 10000 Russians had been cut
off by General Nogi's army and that
Kuropatkin had been taken prisoner.
Nothing conhrmatory of these rumors
has been received either by the general
staff or in press dispatches.
A report received from General Line
witch indicates that the Japanese ad-
vance continues steadily, and that the
Russian van posts, under pressure, are
retiring fighting.

Leesburg, Va. (SpeciaD Miss Mary
Rogers, who mysteriously disappeared at
Saranac Lake, N. Y, last week, was
born in this city about thirty-four years

Clagc,t. of Leesburg. For many years
Miss Rogers was engaged to marry VIII
loughby n Smith, an attorney of Balti-
more, but would not consent to the
marriage during the lifetime Of her
mother. On account OF her mothers
age, large part OF the care and man
agement Of the family estate. Wood
burn, near here, devolved upon Miss
Rogers.
After her mother's death. in Febru-

time while in Leesburg did she appear
to suffer from melancholia or any other
disease of the mind.
Miss Rogers was not a person OF great
wealth. as has been generally reported

bulk OF her property came from legacy
of $4,000 in life insurance left by her
brother, Oden Rogers, who died in 1904
1t is believed here that she invested this
sum on the advice of Smith. but il is
not thought that she suffered financial
losses or that they contributed to the
cause of her melancholia.

LOWE AND LEWIS
FIGHT To DRAW
Fine Fifteen-Round Bout
Near Washington.

: Tommy Lowe and Danny Lewis. two
of Washington's best Hghtweights,
fought fifteen rounds to a draw in the
presence of three hundred sports at the
Peoples Athletic club. near this city,
last night.
The fight was the best seen around
these parts In many moons.
For several weeks both fighters pre-
pared for the big bout and when they
were introduced by Referee Al McMur-
ray, looked to be in prime condition for
their battle for a big side bet and the
satisfaction of a victory. both being
great rivals in their class.
From the beginning Lowe showed bet

After making the Pale Hosed work
hard to win the majority of the games,
the Nationals proved comparatively
easy for the Athletics in yesterday $
doubie-header.
In the Chicago series the home team
displayed a spirit and aggressiveness
which caused the fans to believe they
would give Philadelphia hard battle in
the last three days of the championship
race. Chicago scored nine runs in three
games, and had all sorts of trouble get
ting them. The Athletics made eight
runs in the first game. and nine in the
second. All of the snap and ginger
which ran through the whole series with
the Windy City aggregation disappear
ed, with the result that the Athletics
are now within one game of the pen
pant.
Big Chief Bender was in the lime
light most of the time in both games.
He shut the Nationals out In the first
game, and went to Coakley's rescue in
the third inning of the second game
He not only pitched great ball, but bat
ted Ike n fiend- In the FIRST game he
drew pass. and hit for q triple and two
singles. He batted in FIVE of the eight
runs. and scored one himself In the
second game he drove in three runs and
registered once himself. 1t was a great
day for the Redskin.
Opposed to Bender in the first game
was Jack Townsend, and he deserved a
much better fate Good fielding in the
fatal fourth inning would have pre-
vented any scoring S.ahl's error ca
Schreck's bunt helped put Townsend In
the air. After this inning Jack pitched
listless ball.
Poor Support.
Patterns support in the second game
was Of careless sort. The only re-
deening feature Was Cassidy's brilliant
play in the eighth, when he rushed in
at full speed. speared Murphy's ground

Since more boys than girls are born

proportion being 1.O40 to 1000 boys to
every 1000 girls. how can we account
for the fact that there are more women
than men IN these countriesl To this
question NJ. de Varigny, a French sci
enlist, replies at length in leading
Paris Paper ''Since there are more
women. although more men are born,
be SAYS, I'VE must conclude that more
men die than women because they are
not as healthy. There is no other so
luton, and. moreover, all the obtaina-
BILE facts point in the same direction.
More boys are born than girls, yet
there are almost always more girls
alive than boys. Many persons think
that the principal reason why more
men die than women is because they
lead incorporate lives; but, though
there may be some truth in this, It can
not be the sole solution OF the prob
