whether Tie Pass will be held or aban-
dOned probably will not be decided for
several days.
1t is still too early to tell the extent
OF the Russian defeat. because not all
the parts of the army have been as
sembled, and the losses during the re-
treat are no small portion of the cas-
ualties. Up to the time of the begin
ming of the retreat it is probable the
Japanese losses were heavier than
those of the Russians, and at the time
the Japanese broke through Flu pass
the Russians appeared to be holding
their own and even gaining a little.
Preparations were then being made
to launch a counter stroke. The Jap
anese success was largely aided by the
weather conditions, which enabled
them to approach unobserved. but 1t
was chiefly due to the failure of some
Of the organizations of the left fam in

FANNY CROSBY.

There still lives at Bridgeport, Con.
necticut, at ripe age, lady who has
brought joy into hundreds Of homes
throughout the English-speaking world.
All classes Of people sing Miss Crosby q
secular and sacred songs. The children
in the public schools use There q
Music in the Air;" their parents know
and love Hazel Dell. "Rosalie, the
Prairie Flower" and others, which
were immensely popular twenty five
years ago. But Fanny Crosby is best
known by her hymns. such as RESCUE
the Perishing." 81 am Thine, q
Lord, Nearer the Cross, PASS Me
Not, o Gentle Saviour" BLESSED
Assurance" and "Some Day the Silver
Chord will Break" The first Of her
hymns was written in 1854, and since
that date she has composed over eight
thousand, under various noms de
plume.
The gifted singer has been blind
since she was six years old, but
through marvellous difficulties has
overcome great obstacles. For twenty
three years she was pupil and teacher
in the New York Institution for the
Blind. There she met and knew Henry
Clay, General Scott, James X. Polk
Governor Seward. and ex-President
Cleveland, who has been her firm
friend for fifty years. Miss Crosby
has known many Of the greatest
musical and literary men and women.
including all the famous composers of
sacred music. Recently she has writ.
ten up the entire story of her life into
an autobiography, which promises to
be widely read when it is published.
Miss Crosby has wonderful MEM
ory. She composes an entire hymn be.
fore having any Of it written down on
paper. Once she wrote forty songs be.
fore hav ing any of them recorded; and
at the end she could recall every one
Of them.
On March 80 the churches of
America propose to build Miss Crosby
a monument Of gratitude, which will
be more enduring than any marble
shaft. They propose to honor her life
work while she still lives and 10 able
to appreciate the kind thought Of those
who sing and love her songs. Hund.
reds Of churches are preparing special
programs Of song to use for that pur.
pose; and unique feature Of the plan
is large gift Of honor as testim ,nial
to Miss Crosby's public service. They
thus hope to recognize in fitting
manner her eighty fifth birthday.

Or. Haywood.

GOldendale, March 13.-Dr. Kay
wood. said to formerly have been a
dentist at Portland, Ore, now a holy
roller" preacher who has been holding
meetings at the Free Methodist
church, was the recipient of a liberal
coat Of tar and feathers Sunday even
ing. Just after services had COM
menced crowd of about 10 young
men entered tn little church on Broad
way and took the minister out of the
nn'nit and hustled him out into the
street, where they were met by about
40 more men.
The preacher was taken to the
bridge on the Little Klickitat river. BY
this time about 100 men and boys had
gathered there. The preacher was
stripped to the waist and several cans
of tar was poured over his shoulders
and back. His bald head was also
coated and the tar was daubed on his
face. Several sacks of feathers were
then plastered over him. He was told
that if he did not leave town before 10
O'Clock Monday morning he would be
lynched.

deal and did not speak until the job
was through with when he said:
Boys, will you allow me to talk to
you?"
He was promptly told to shut up or
he would be submerged in the icy wa.
ters of the Klickitat.
The affair has caused great excite
ment in Goldendale. The animosity to-
ward the preacher is caused by the al
legged fact that several women who
have been attending his services are
on the verge Of insanity caused by the
preachers wild exhortations, and it is
also charged that he has attacked
many prominent people from his pull
pit. On the other hand, his meetings
have been attended by many promi-
nent people.
Rev. Mr.. Haywood, on being inter-
viewed. said that he had no statement
to make regarding the affair. and that
he intended to leave Goldendale to-
morrow to conduct meetings else
