Huropatkiu, under orders from
81. Petersburg it is supposed, sent
the Second Army under General
Grippeuberg to attack Oyama's LETT,
commanded by Gen. Kuroki. The
Second Army is composed vi new
arrivals. The purpose of the attack
was three fold-to distract attention
from the revolts occurring at home
to season the new troops, and, il
possible, to dislodge Kuroki from q
position dangerous to the Russian
front. The attack was an utter
failure in two points; the new troops
were baptized in blood, losing 10, 600
The lesson to them is all the fruitful
results. The thermometer was 20c
below zero and the fight was in q
binding snow-storm.

kin determined to attack Kuroki in
an effort to flank Oyama. THURSDAY
the Japs took the offensive, and fol
two days fierce battle waged
First reports stated that the Russians
were successful. Later it was found
they had been repulsed, with 10000
slain and 600 prisoners left behind
The Japs lost about 5000.
The Russians are now at bay on
the north bank of the Hun river
The defeat is particularly heavy
blow to the Russian autocracy in
view of the revolutionary movement
at home.
THE STRIKES AND RIOTS.
The big strike in st. Petersburg
has been practically curbed. After
two or three days of massacre by The
troops the strikers, who were un.
armed, were signally dispersed, some
of them returning to work. The
writer Gorky, who, with Father
Gopon, was the labor leader, was
arrested while visiting his sick wife
and thrown into the fortress. Gopon
has thus far escaped, and is in other
cities arousing the peasants and
workmen.
The Gear issued a manifesto
promising the workmen shorter work
days. This tended somewhat to
disperse the mobs in st. Petersburg,
The legal work-dsy in Russia ID
eleven hours.
In Finland and Poland troops and
the mob are still clashing. The
cities of Moscow, Libau, Odessa and
Riga are still in the throes of mill
tarism in its worst form. Men,
women and children are being shot
down and the leaders cast into
dungeons, whence they will be
spirited to Siberia.
The most signal massacre, next to
that of Sunday in ST. Petersburg.
was when the army fired into $4,000
men, women and children who were
marching from a town 16 miles
distant to st. Petersburg, with the
cry of "bread, bread" Oh their lips.
This was on Tuesday after that
fateful Sunday. The clash will go
down in the annals of history as the
"Battle of Kolpino," known as the
"Bath of Blood" where Cossacks
and infantry charged and fred into
unarmed men, women and children
indiscriminately. st. Petersburg and
Kolpino have kindled fires that are
fast spreading to the uttermost parts
of the vast empire, and when tidings
get to the ears of the common
soldiers facing the Japs Russia may
have to face her toughest proposition.

NOW TO BE BUILT.
Charter Granted to Richmond and
Chesapeake Bay Company, GoaId's
Line to the RAppahanaoek.

As recently noted in the CITIZEN
no opposition was presented to the
petition of Frank j. Gould and
others who asked the Supreme Court
to decide whether or not a charter
could issue for the construction of
an electric line parallelling the
fredericksburg road as far as Ash
land and on to Tappahannock or
some point on the Rappahannock,
and across in to Lancaster and Nor
cumberland.
Last week the court decided that
q charter could be issued, and the
Corporation Commission immediately
did SO.

SOME of our esteemed contempora-
ries throughout the State-notably
some who have only recently seen
the "light"-are trying with might
and main to precipitate the liquor
question into politics, thereby sooner
or later jeopardizing the Anti-Saloon
movement. Since they are only
recruits announcing their new. found
belief it might be we'll for them to
Ego SLOW" or their zeal might be
misunderstood and taken for a deep
laid scheme to destroy the Anti
Saloon League. We would say with
positiveness and with all the en-
phasis that we are capable of that
the League as we understand it will
not enter State politics. Even if it's
principles permitted, the astute men
at its head remember too we'll the his
tory of the Prohibition movement
and all temperance movements that
allowed themselves to be drawn into
the political maelstrom. The Anti
Saloon people will divide up on can
didates, and the nearest they will get
to political fusion will be to see that
only temperate men and men favora-
BILE to reasonable temperance measures
get the support of temperance people.

The Northampton Times buns
the Portsmouth Star for going back
on its first love, the Governor, because
he respited McCue for 20 days. We

wrong-but maybe we have no bust

help from drawing = contrast in this
act and the policy of the Governor
in being 50 stingy with poor Charlie
Lewis, who, by all honor, rights and
precedents should have been par
doned when he received the negro's
bullet intended for his guard. But,
then, there was strong political
pull flowing against poor Lewis
and such Hon. A. j. Montague was
never known to stem.

would experience an "aching void''

light for some distance. After the gale
the schooner was found In front Of the
lighthouse with its bowsprit penetrat-
ing the door Of the building.

She Must Know Goods and Values
and Have Sound Judgment.
The requirements of the buyer, as
briefly summed UP by member Of
Boston firm, are: knowledge Of mer-
chandise and good Judgment but the
former may comprehend great va
riety of qualifications. A buyer must
know goods and values and, as head
of department, must be familiar with
all its phases. Thus in the underwear
department she must possess a ia
miliarity with sizes as we'll as with
styles and values, and last but by no
means Of least Importance, she should
have some knowledge Of fnanciering,
for she has great deal Of money to
handle A firm must feel confidence
in the reliability Of the buyer, for she
spends large sums for them. When
she sets out for Europe they tell her
to spend $4,000 or $4,000, as the case
may be, and they expect that the
money will be judicicusly used. This
places heavy responsibility in her
hands, for the firm does not want to
get stuck on what she buys. She
must not glut the market neither must
she starve it. The buyer must live in
the future and be familiar with her
trade This and, indeed nearly al the
requisite qualifications are matters Of
experience

For Nearly Half Century Keeper
Of the RonlloBt Lighthouse.
For almost half century now Mrs.
G. A. Murdoch has been the keeper Of

all these years she has kept the big
beacon burning at the point of the

On June II, 1856, her husband was
appointed keeper Of the lighthouse by
President Franklin Pierce. Mr.. Muir

position. Under each succeeding adj

there has never been the least ground
for complaint against her management

KITCHEN NEGLECT.
1t Is q Great Menace to the Health
of the Family.

1t Is 81 Great Menace to the Health
of the Family.
Every woman appreciates a dainty
parlor and trim dining room, and
some few realize the value and beauty
of properly furnished kitchen. Yet
the dust and cobwebs OF a neglected
parlor contain 10 essentially evil
germs, while the greatest menace to
the health Of family lies in kitchen
neglect, and no one can expect serv
ant to take interest in keeping IN per
feet order a dingy, dark room, fur
nished with broken down furniture.
The kitchen needs large windows,
through which plenty Of light and
fresh air can enter. It should have an
oiled hardwood floor or one covered
with linoleum. OtIcloh will not an
sWer the same purpose. Linoleum Is
a warm floor covering and, although
not SO bright as oilcloth, is far more
durable.
The walls may be painted, they may
be papered with enameled tile paper
or they may be whitened or white
washed. The Old fashioned white
washed wall has much to commend
it, since the whitewash acts as disin-
fectant and thoroughly purifies the
wall every time it is applied, but it
can scarcely be renewed oftener than
once year and cannot be cleaned save
by a new coat. Enameled paper does
not absorb odors or smoky moisture
as ordinary paper does, and next to
the tiles themselves Is considered the
ideal kitchen wall covering.
The American fashion OF keeping
pots and kettles and other kitchen
utensils in closet by themselves in
stead of hanging them on hooks about
the kitchen is sensible. The European
way Of hanging the articles In broad
light may add to the picturesque eff
feet of the kitchen, but the utensils
collect dust.-Exchange
