increased, owing to the growing
demands Of the school, and the
class rooms and dormitories are
comfortable, we'll arranged and

The growth of this school from the

the thorough work of instruction
and character building which the
Academy guarantees.

not defile himself" and was true
to his family training, his religion
and his GOd.
Prof. r. o. Allen also addressed
the school at some length and was
particularly strong in his denun-
citation of cigarette smoking. He
declared there was no hope for the
proper development of a boy who
smokes cigarettes except the hope
that he will quit. Good talks
were also made by Profs. South,

BIG NAVAL BATTLE

st. Petersburg, May 23-2:15 p. H.
In this momentous hour the emperor,
the admiralty and the Russian public
are waiting breathlessly for the Jap
anese to furnish authenic news of the
fleet of Admiral Rojestvensliy, on
which Russia's hopes are conferred.
The report sent to Washington by
the American consul at Nagaski of the
sinking of five Russian warships, in
Guiding a battleship and repair ship,
was accepted as the most definite and
the most authentic piece of news up to
midnight, and undoubtedly produced a
bad impression. The fear was eX-
pressed that the battleship sunk
might have been Rojestvensky's flag
ship, the Kniaz Souvaroff, on which
the Japanese would undoubtedly con-
centrate their fire.
Following is the text of the Nagaski
dispatch to the state department:
Observation-Disclosures sunk Russian
battleship Borodino and four more
warships and repair ship"
The other dispatch follows:
"TolSio.-Japanese fleet engaged the
Baltic squadron in the straits OF
Korea, which was held. Cannonading
heard from shore"

Chicago. May 81 - Cornelius +.
Shea, president of the international
Transfers union, was upheld by
Judge Kohlsaat of the federal court
in his refusal to answer questions be-
fore Master in Chancery Sherman,
which might tend to incriminate him.
Shea is now under indictment in the
criminal court, and Judge Kohlsaat
declared that answers to some OF the
questions put to him might prejudice
the hearing of his case.
In the same decision which excused
Shea the court ruled that Bernard
Mulligan. president of the Express
Drivers union, and John Donahue, a
member of the same union, had refus-
ed to answer questions which could
not in any way connect them with
any criminal proceedings, and they
were therefore in contempt of court.
He sentenced both men to Jail, but
allowed them to remain in nominal
custody in the hands of United
States Marshal Ames for five days in
order that their attorneys may per-
feet a review in habeas corpus pro-
ceedings before another federal judge.
The men will be held in hotel for
the five days in charge of two deputy

HEARINGS ARE CLOSED.
Senate on Interstate Commerce Ends
Its Session.

Washington, May 25.-The senate
on interstate commerce closed the
hearings upon the regulation of rail-
way rates and will devote the re-
mainder of the week to consideration
of plan to report and other sugges-
lions to facilitate proceedings when
congress assemblies.
Samuel Spencer, president of the
Southern railway, today made brief
oral statement to be supplemented by
another which will be filed with the
committee. He pointed out that the
railroads were not advocating regu-
lation of rates by the courts, but main
tains that if question of rates must
be passed upon by any tribunal it
should be by the courts, as otherwise
the property of the railroads would
not be protected.
A. Urion, general counsel of the Ar
mour car lines, made an argument
against any legislation which would
place the private car lines under con-
troll of the interstate regulation. He
demanded the exclusive contracts,
which he claimed were in the inter
est of the fruit-growers and other
users of refrigerator cars.

WANT BOOKS OF BANK.
Japs Keep Possession Of the Russo

Che Foo, May 25.-The officials OF

fortress, have been unsuccessfully en-
deavoring to secure the release from
the Japanese of the books of the bank
and over 100 bags of banking and 9TH
er commercial and private cores
pondence, delivered in care OF the
bank for dispatch from the besieged
city.
This mail was the accumulation of
the few days prior to the capitula-
ton of the Russian forces. After the
destruction of the Port Arthur post
office during the bombardment the
outgoing mails were entrusted to the
bank vaults for safe keeping until the
first opportunity for their dispatch
On account of undue retention of
the books by the Japanese the bank
has not been able to close trans

Russian Ships May Seek Shelter In

UNCLE SAM IS EVER ALERT.
May be Put in Same Boat With
France - Will Force Russians Out
of Island Waters Observe Neu-
trality.

Paris, May 24.-Much attention is
given here to Vice Admiral Rojest-
vensky's probable passage into the
Pacific north of the Island of Luzon,
and suggestions are made that the
reported intentions of the Russians
to rendezvous at the the Island OF
Babyuan will give the American au-
thorities in the Philippines the same
difficulties in preserving neutrality
against the incursions of Admiral
Rojestvensky that the French au-
thorities experienced in the waters OF
Indo China. The naval expert of the
Temps lengthily points out that the
information brought by various
steamers to Chinese ports confirms
the previous view that Rojestvensky
is sllirting the north of the Philip
pines into the Pacific. 1t is maintain
ed that the strategic object thus ac-
complished is avoiding Japanese tor
pedo attacks and the mines in the
straits of Formosa and the subse-
quent concentration of the Japanese
fleet in the straits of Korea leaving
Rojestvensky free to make long de-
tour and reach Vladivostok through
one of the northern straits of Japan.
However, it is pointed out that the
presence of the Russian fleet north
of tho Philippines leaves the Russians
only a few hundred miles from the
Japan naval base at Kelung, in the
northern part of the island of For
mosa, and that it is possible before
the detour commences.

night will elapse before the written
argument on which the superior ad-
mirality court based it's conclusions
in the appeals of the captured Brit
ish steamer Calchas, overruling Ad-
miral Jessend's protest against the
decision of the Vladiyostok court or
dering her release, will be available,
and in order to avoid a misunder-
standing the purport of the decision
should be stated. 1t is plain from
tuS opCCSh thoI 'iN SO'
eminent conceded that timber is on
the list of conditional contraband,
arguing in this particular case that
the length of the beams showed that
they were intended for railroad bridge
construction. To this extent, there
fore, the list of conditional contra
band articles broadened. Quite the
contrary is the case in the matter of
cotton, the procurator insisting
against the contention of the authori-
ties at Berlin and of Mr.. Sheftel, act
ing as counsel for the American and
British owners of the steamers cargo,
that cotton belonged to the list of
absolute contraband, as it is used in
making gun cotton. The impression
in diplomatic circles is that if the
courts written decision bears out the
arguments of the procurator, the Uni
ted States and Great Britain will re-
new their representations on the sub
ject of cotton.
The contraband question has again
become important, in view of the APP
pearance of Admiral Rojestvensky's
fleet in the Far Eastern seas.

In Those Words Clubwoman APPLY

Domestic science seems to be the
solution of several vexed questions,
such as the servant problem, divorce,
and temperance. If more money were
expended by cities in introducing do
nestle science into the schools less
money would need to be spent on in
sane asylums. poorhouses and peni-

in her address on 1.-The Progress Of
Domestic Science - before the depart
ment of the household economics and
education of the Woman's Club.
9" The kitchen is the heart of the
home. The woman who holds the
comfort of a man battling with the
world in her hands has responsibility
as great as that of commander of

evils of bad cooking and lack of good
homes is in the schools of domestic
science which are established in the
public schools. - Cincinnati Com

GOVERNMENT LIGHT.
HISTORIC CHiCkAMAUGA PARK
ABLAZE WITH ILLUMINATION.
United States System of Lighting Mill
tary Post Pronounced GratifyingIy
SuccessfuI-Six and One-Half Miles
of Mains-Sixty-Five Street Lights.

Chickamauga Park Ca, May 81
The United States government has here
in operation one of the largest acety-
lene gas plants in the world. The mill
tary post at the entrance of the histor-
ical Chickamauga battlefield where
thirty thousand Union and Confederate
soldiers were lost in the memorable
battle of Sept. 10 and 20, 1863, contains
about one hundred buildings, the
seventy-fve principal ones of which are
lighted with acetylene. To accom-
plish this six and one-half miles OF
mains and two miles of service pipes
are in use, while sixty-five street
lamps brilliantly illuminate the ave-
nues of the post.
In 1903 the War Department In
stalled a test acetylene plant at Fort
Meyer, Virginia. The results were
so gratifying and the superiority
of the illuminant so evident that the
government, March 20, 1904, placed
the contract for the Chickamauga
plant, in which every citizen of the
United States should have his pro
rata of pride.
But the government has not con.
fined its acceptance of acetylene to
this military post. Since becoming
satisfied of the efficiency, superiority
and economical advantages of this
particular illuminant, the United
States has installed number OF
plants in Indian schools and other gov.
eminent institutions.
Acetylene gas is one of the simplest
as we'll as the most perfect of artificial
lights. 1t is made by the contact
of water and carbide, Ia manufactured
product for sale at a nominal price,.
is absolutely safe and gives a beau
tiful white light soothing to the eyes
and nerves. 1t can be produced any
wherein the farm home, the village
store, the town hall, the church-and
is so easily maintained as to
be practical for all classes.
1t is a matter for national congratu
lation that in identifying so historic
a spot as Chickamauga, nothing but
the best, including the lighting sys-
TEN, has been deemed good enough
for the American people.
