HumlIiatIna to Russians.

Tokio's account Of the arrival or
captured warships at Japanese ports
was more humiliating to the Russian
naval authorities than the news OF the
defeat.
The opinion expresr, ID here Is that
nothing can excuse the failure OF the
Russian commanders to sink their
ships under their feet rather than TO
allow them TO fall into the enemy's
hands.
The question of inaugurating peace
negotiations is not likely to be opened
until full reports of the Russian dis
aster have been received. The war
party continues its defiant attitude
and declares that peace is impossible,
while many Russians who heretofore
have been In favor of peace, but who
are now Inundated by the sting Of the
defeat of their navy, are giving their
voice In favor Of continuation OF the
war. Nevertheless, the peace party
| insists on the absolute futility Of pro-
| longing the struggle.
Ever slow to reach decision, 1t Is
improbable that the government Will
decide on the course It will pursue un-
til after battle has been begun tn Man
churia.

Bradley Game.
Last Saturday our boys went to the
City of Bradley and played what should
have been at least ten inning game
Being Saturday it was impossible fol-
some of our professional men to get off
and some changes had to be made in the
team.
The Bradley team is one of those
hired teams and are very strong one
They realized that they were in game
before being through with this one.
The game up TO the seventh inning
was no score game and here is where
the Bradley team won the game. A
man reached third with two men out
Sterling batted to Haugen who heldet
the BAH to first and the umpire declared
the man out. The Webster team tool
the bench and prepared to bat In the
mean time the Bradley team and all it,
supporters circled around the umpire
and told him that somebody said thai
somebody heard that somebody else
said that somebody who stood about
100 feet from first base looking over
two umbrellas and a Sunday hat and
under a wagon (thus having much
better view Of the play than the umpire,
could see that this man was not out
The umpire finally decided to change
his decision The Webster team called
onto the diamond again. The man on
third came in on that play thus the
professional players" the 1915 per-
boys won the game on an earned
run.
Lawrence and Jewel Egeland were
the battery and did excellent work.

Most relephoned City in the World.

From Cent Per Cent for July.
 No country in the world has so much canital invested in the telephone as America, and yet even America has not begun to make the telephone so thor oughly part of It's daily life as mas Sweden. The government owns the sys- tenn, and leases the service to the people at prices so low that practically every home has it's private phone. But In ad- dition to this, the public service IS so thoroughly accessible that 1t Is cheaper than writing. In Stockholm for instance there is a public telephone at almost ev- cry street corner. and before every res- taurant, hotel place of amusement' cap stand, etc Besides these there are nun dreds of closed pavilions. made or glass upon the tops of which are the city lights. They open automatically by the insertion of coin, which also pays Tor the service. and are available at any hour of the day or night Tn these things Sweden ia not eccentric, but simply ad- vanced. Every city in America Will yet follow her example. Public telephones will vet become as necessary ana as abundant as letter boxes. It would al- most stagger the brain to apprehend the millions of dollars which will yet be de- manded in the development of the tele- phone in our own land.

THE POWER OF ADVERTISING.

w. J. Hampton in the New York Sun. There used to be a man who lived In Skeetersville, N. J. Who opened up little store
 And went to making hay. The country roundabout was good, The people sure but slow. And Ellington, which was his name, Set out to make them go. The old time town of Skeetersville Was dead enough to skin When Ellington took hold-but say, He got a hold to win. He introduced a line of goods That made the people stare, And when they came to take look They found the prices fair. And then they bought, and business
 boomed.
 And Ellington did more Than anybody ever did
 In that town with a store. But what he did was not enough To suit his growing size. And Ellington of Skeetersville Just yearned to advertise. He yearned to see his dazzling ads Glow In the business sky, Attracting people everywhere To come his way to buy. But 10. the town of Skeetersville. Iris pity to confess, Had never felt long felt want To have printing press. So Ellington turned to at once To see what he could get, And pretty soon the people had The Skeetersville Gazette. And Ellington was In it. big: Such advertising ways Were never known to Skeetrsville As Billingtons displays. The old time merchants saw the ads Of Ellington. and they Began to use line or two To make their business pay. The town began to get alive. It's shell began to crack. And every now and then vou'd hear The moss fall off it's back. And outside people on the look For better means to fill Their empty coffers. thought they'd take chance at Skeetersville. The town was growing good and strong; Another paper came To meet the advertisers wants And spread the city's fame. The town grew on. No power could
 thwart
 The enterprise and will Of Ellington ct al. and vet They call it Skeetersville. Then Ellington broke loose and said The old name ought to go, And something be adopted which Would let the whole world know It was a hustling sort of town, Where thing were on the run And in two minutes Skeertsville Was changed to Ellington.

dustry in general Under such conditions we have not been able. naturally, to pro- duce young men fit to be foremen or managers or superintendents. Indeed, l have found it necessary to counteract the prevailing indifference by making the rule at the Stafford Works that only those young men who have attended technical schools or at least have in some way studied the technical side of industry, shall be admitted.
 "All our large technical schools are modelled after your Massachusetts Instl- ute of Technology. They are not, or course, in their present state, to be se- riously compared with the Boston insti- tuition, and I am not sure that there IS hope that they will ever become worthy of comparison with the technical schools that have been established in this coun- try. Our next step must be the estaol- lishment Of something like your system of secondary schools which, Tn my oplh- ion, are a distinct honor and glory to the country, and no doubt to large extent. account for the fact that the pest examples of technical schools in the world are to be found in America.
 'iWe have suffered in England by reason of the absence of just such schools. Over there the youths can take only two steps-one from the elementary public schools to the schools that prepare them for the university, and the other from the elementary schools direct to businass Here. on the contrary, I have noticed that 1t is the ambition of youths to go as far in school as their self-sacri- ficing parents will permit them. our one hope in England is that by and by par ents will realize the value of sending their children to school until they are ca pablo of doing some responsiple part of the worlds work, and so we are tryins to instill something of the American spirit into the English people.
 "As a friend and advocate or tecnnlcal education I may say that am really jealous of the great advance that has been made in the United States. l re- gard the Massachusetts Institute or Tecn- nology as the best example of the meth ods of producing men scientifically trained for industrial and commercial purposes to be found in the world Our curriculum in our day techincal schools was tanei from this institution. which. I may say, represents the standard of excellence tna. some day we hope to achieve ourselves
