THE WAR.

The developments the past week in
the Eastern war are:-
The Russian retirement from Tie
pass and hurried retreat northward.
The removal of Gen. Kuropatkin
from chief command of the Russian
Manchurian forces and the appoint
ment of Gen. Linevitch to succeed
him.
The close pursuit by the Japanese
of the flying Russians.
Russian ministers believe car is
convinced and peace terms seem
imminent. Advocate proposals direct
to Japan.
New uprising in Russia. More
serious perhaps than any heretofore.
It was expected that when Kuro-
patkin had managed to extricate his
decimated army from the fearsome
clutches of Oyama and had esta blished
himself at Tie pass, 40 miles north of
Mukden, place designed by nature
and laboriously fortified for defense,
he would be able to stop the progress
of the Japanese. News did come
early last week of the repuIse of the
Japanese advance by the Russian
rear guard seven miles south of the
pass, in which the Russians were said
to have lost 1000, while the Japanese
left that number of corpses behind.
But that this fight was indecisive
appeared when news came that Kuro-
patkin had hurriedly evacuated Tie
pass Wednesday and continued his
flight northward. 1t is supposed he
did this on account of a wide turning
movement executed on one of his
TANKS by the Japanese, of which
details are not at hand. The Russians
withdrew in three columns, one fol-
lowing the railroad, and the others
the Mandarin road. The enemy
pursued, but the Russians were able
to gain by destroying bridges and
putting obstacles behind them. How
much of their artillery or stores they
removed is unknown. The Japanese
report heavy cap lures.
That Kuropatkin's abandonment oil
Tie pass without a fight was dis.
pleasing to the car appeared when

the entire family of SIX or seven per-
sons, and there are doubtless
quarter of a million such families In
New York alone. So that even IL
rich woman denied herself to the
extent of spending only three
thousand dollars year on dress, she
would still be spending enough to
clothe sixty poor families. And the
thirty million dollars that might be
saved, that is the excess above three
thousand dollars now spent on dress
by our rich women, would at this rate
clothe six hundred thousand families,
practically all the deserving poor In
the United States.

Boiler Exploded and 100 Perished.
Last Monday morning, soon after
the beginning of the days labor, a
steam boiler exploded in the big shoe
factory Of R. B. Grover & Co., at
Brockton, Mass. The shock shattered
the supports of two floors of the build
ing near street corner. The mass
Immediately took fire and the whole
factory was destroyed. In the fac
tory at the time about 375 hands were
at work. Many of these were injured
in the explosion and many others
pinned down. Though many desper-
ate efforts were made by the surviv-
ors and relief parties, and many were
thus rescued, about 100 persisted.
Fifty five bodies have been taken out
and As are still missing. It was an
awful holocaust. The cries and means
of the prisoners, as the flames neared
them, were heart-rending to the spec
tators who could not save them. A
great many who were saved were
seriously injured. Effort is being
made by the district attorney and
others to locate the exact cause of
the accident and find, if possible, just
where the blame lies. It is said that
the steam pressure was more at the
time Of the explosion than was con-
sidered safe by any engineer. Ittis
also reported that the boiler was
cracked On Thursday the whole
city of Brockton gave itself over tc
mourning and thu unidentified bodies
were buried. Many Of the public
buildings were draped in mourning
the stores drew their curtains at noon
many Of the shops and factories shu
| down, and withal the services were
as solemn as the disaster was horrible

Splicing a Spinal Cord.
Edward Farrell of Philadelphia had
a fall few days ago which broke his
back, and in order to save his life the
head surgeon of the Medico- Chirurgi-
cal Hospital decided to splice his
spinal cord. The injured part of the
cord was cut away and the ends were
then brought together and firmly
sewed. Only once in the last five
years has a similar operation been
attempted, and if Farrell convalesces
satisfactorily the physicians at the
hospital will have accomplished a
remarkable surgical feat. The physi-
clans have every hope of Farrell's
ultimate recovery.

An article by Cleveland Moffett in
Success on the misuse of wealth re-
veals some startling figures. A con-
sentative estimate made by Mr..
Moffett and submitted to several
dressmakers on Fifth avenue, New
York city, shows that there are many
ladies in America who spend S3s, 800
annually on dress. Many of the
gown fashioners'' and merchants
for the rich set the estimate at
$50, 200 per year. Think of it, 100000!
A man in this part of the country is
considered "well Off if he is worth
$50, 900, and this all spent on dress in
one year by one woman. Here are a
few of the items: ball and opera
gowns $1,000; dinner gowns $4,000;
hats and wells 81, 200; furs 5000; this
is Just a beginning. A handkerchief
that cost 81, 900 or a muff that cost
$3.50 seems trifiing thing with them

The protest by a commission of
congregational ministers against ac-
eepting 100000 from John D. Rookie
feller for missions is exciting consid-
erable comment. The clergymen OBJ
etto the use of the money saying
that Mr.. Rockefeller, as the head of
the Standard Oil trust, got his money
by unfair methods. This brings up the
sid question, "shall churches accept
toney given them regardless of how
ut was gotten?" It required high
courage in these times of gross mate
rialism, to refuse money so much
needed. One may ask the question
where did the woman who anointed
the hands and feet of Christ get the
oil3" 1t Is said her character was not
of the best. Did not Christ accept?
Why then should not this gift be
taken and used? But the real ques-
If Mr.. Rockefeller gave the money
because he believed the cause worthy
and sincerely wishes to see the organ
iZation prosper then the money should
be accepted. If the motive was to
obligateE the pastors to him, Mr..
Rockefeller, or if the gift was made
with the spirit in which many of us
put our coppers in the collection
plate-rfor personal gain or favor
then the offer should be scorned.
