Erect Of Turning Down Kuropatkin.

The virtual degradation of Kuropat-
| kin and the substitution. by imperial
order Of Gen. Linevitch in his place as
| the commander of the battered Russian
army. is an event which is not unlikely
TO stir up a good deal of sympathy for
| the discredited MuscOvite leader. It
! has generally been admitted, even by
| those papers which have ardently
lchampioned the cause of Japan. that
! IKuropatkin was a brave, faithful and
competent general, careful of the wei
fare of his men, but hampered by un-
wise orders from st. Petersburg and
inadequately supplied with trained
troops 70 face his agile and resOurcefUl
enemies.
He showed genuine skill in eXtrica-
ting his army at Liaoyang, and it seems
by no means certain that any other
Russian commander could have done
more than he has done in the trap with
in which he found himself enclosed by
the genius Of Oyama and the wide
spreading line of swift-marching Jap
anese infantry Whether Linevitch can
save what is left of the army, now that
it has been forced TO abandon Tie pass
and the retreat toward Harbin. con-
stantly assailed in flank and rear by
Japanese columns. remains to be seen.
If he should fail, the result would be
regarded as partly a vindicatiOn for
the general he superseded
Another report of interest is that the
czar and his counselors of war have
ordered Rojestvensky 10 proceed and
risk facing the mikado's fleet on the
open sea. Togo. with his array of ar
mor-clad cruisers and torpedo craft. is
known lately TO have been in the vicin-
ity of Singapore, and the only tenable
assumption is that he was looking for
the Russians. If it is true that Rojest-
Vensky has instructions not to avoid
him, the world may hear the news of
a greater sea battle than has occurred
in many years.

While much credit is being given
the japanese officers at the front, there
is always a power behind them which
should not be forgotten. That is the
emperor. Whenever there are any field
maneuyers on any somewhat larger
scale in Japan, his majesty personally
takes part in them. He will follow or
watch the movements of his troops for
hours-in fact, all day long, and for
several days, on horseback or from
some convenient eminence. Even when
it Is raining he will do so without re

THEBES GLASS WORKERS.
The High Art that F1ourished Over
Forty Centuries Ago.

The High Art that F1ourished Over
Forty Centuries Ago.
The glassblowers Of ancient Thebes
are known to have been equally as pro-
ficient in that particular art as Is the
most scientific craftsman of the same
trade Of the present day, after lapse
of over forty centuries of so called
progress" They were we'll acquaint-
ell with the art Of staining glass and
are known to have produced that COM
modify in great profusion and perfec-
ton. Rossellini gives an illustration
of a piece Of stained glass known to
be 1900 years old which displayed ar
tisdc taste Of high order, both in tint
and design.
In this case the color IS struck
through the vitrified structure, and he
mentions designs struck entirely in
pieces from half to three-quarters of
an inch thick, the color being perfectly
incorporated with the structure of the
piece and exactly the SAME on both
the diverse and reverse sides.
The priests Of P'tah at Memphis
were adopts in the glassmaker's art.
and not only did they have factories
for manufacturing the common crystal
variety, but they had learned the yitri-
flying Of the different colors and of i'm
itating precious stones to perfection.
Their limitations of the amethyst and
OF the various other colored gems were
so true to nature that even now, after
they have lain in the desert sands
from 1000 to 1000 years, it takep an
expert to distinguish the genuine arti-
cles from the spurious It has been
shown that, besides being experts in
glassmaking and coloring, they also
used the diamond in cutting and en-
craving. In the British museum there
Is beautiful piece of stained glass
with an engraved emblazonment Of
the monarch Thothmes III, who lived
3,4O0 years ago.

oueerly Procured Evidence.

Many years ago ship was chased
at sea on the suspicion that she was
a SLAYER. During the pursuit her cap
tain dropped something overheard.
When overhauled the old tub was tax
en- to Port Royal for trial. There was
nothing on board to sustain the charge
Of slave dealing, and there seemed ev-
cry likelihood Of it's owner recovering
damages for illegal seizure and deten-
ton. But another ship had passed in
the night in the wake of the others.
She had witnessed the chase and
flight, but had stopped to catch a
shark by the way In the stomach of
the shark the sailors found a tin box.
In the box were the papers of the
fugitive vessel. These proved her to
be SLAYER of the most unequivocal
character, and upon their evidence she
was condemned and confscated.

MISSIONS OF CALIFORNIA.
Historic Piles Almost Our Young
Country's Only Ruins.

The century old missions of Cal1for-

Torrey Conner in the Four-Irack
News. Upon the crumbling adobe
walls the wild mustard hoists Its vel
low banners; in the roofess arcades,
where tread of priestly feet is heard no
more. sunshine and rain have wrought
their will: lizards crawl over the black
ened shrine, and bats cling to the raft
ers Of the sanctuary, beating the air
with noiseless wings at the approach
of a footstep.
These historic piles, almost the only
ruins of which our young country can
boast. are accounted one of the sights
by all latter-day pilgrims to the Gold
en- State; but, as rule, only the more
accessible of the missions are visited,

The religious professions, hating

quest was granted and after trial the
jury, after three hours elaboration,
brought in verdict Of guilty.
The circumstances surrounding the
murder Of Elizabeth Gillespie and the
social prominence in Indiana Of all
the actors in the tragedy, attracted
widespread attention to the case. The
Gillespie family was one Of the oldest
and proudest in Indiana. James Gill
lespie and his sister, Elizabeth, were
twins. They were inseparable as chill
dren and young people. The girl be-
came engaged at the age of 20, but on
her brothers account broke the en-
gagement. Though no word Of trouble
leaked out this beautiful society wo-
man from that time grew in appear

woman, her hair turning almost snowy
white within a year. She never mar

Elizabeth devoted herself to the care

self heart and soul into plans which
afforded pleasure to others. She was
n leader in the social world and in
church work. Then came trouble be-
tween her and her brother, and a fam
lily feud was brought on which culnli-
mated in murder. James Gillespie left
his mothers house and went to live
with his other sister, Mrs Belle Sew
ard, across the street. DIR. William
Gillespie had married a niece of Dr.
Thad Reamy, noted Cincinnati ply
stefan, and had moved to that city.
His wife's sister married Myron Bar

Professor Wiley of the Bureau of
Chemistry at Washington, who is con-
Quoting the adulterated food expert
ments, complains that he is utterly I'M
able to procure for his purpose any
uncolored butter. He also denounced
the use of the coal tar dyes with which
butter is colored, saying that they
''overburden the kidneys" This Is an
instructive comment ON the United
States laws which prohibit the color
ing Of artificial butter, even with palm
oil, which is perfectly wholesome, but
permit the coIoring of genuine butter
with coal tar dyes or anything else.
