CHINESE ARE HAPPY.

Lidziapudze, Manchuria, Sept. 13- Whatever may be the feelings of the Russian or Japanese soldiers regard ing the conclusion of peace, one man welcomes it unreservedly and with 'beaming smiles This Is the China man. on whose land the war was fought for nearly eighteen months. To-day the roads around here are illl- ed with happy. smiling Chlnamen and women, old and young, who occupy ing clumsy carts, loaded with their household goods, are proceeding in long lines back to their old homes.
 The Chinese greet the Russian sold iers with the one word peace" which is repeated over and over again Many of. their homes have been devastated, but notwithstanding this they express their joy at getting back to peaceful and industrious occupations. Further more the game of neutrality to each side which the Chinese have been obliged to play for so many months, has been a hard one and peace has brought relief from this strain. It is no exaggeratIon to say that the Chi, nese are now the happiest people in Manchuria.

OBJECT TO BAKERY
Eaugatuek Man Wants a Tsnnant
 Evictsd From His Property

Judge Cowell to-day heard a motion in the district court for a permanent injunction restraining William A. Braunis from using a certain room in the second story of Nichols block fin Naugatuek as a bakery. Philip Reu- ben. owner of the property. was the plaintiff. He asked damages of $500 besides the injunction.
 It was alleged that the room is not n suitable place for a bakery and that owing to the odor and stench arising from the baking of four foods. Reu- ben cannot rent the other rooms on the second floor. and that he has already lost SEQ a month for the past two months.
 Attorney Kennedy. counsel for the defendant. replied that Braunis con ducted this bakery in the building be- fore it was bought by Reuben on July S. and that Reuben knew it was there. Rraunls got his lease from the pre- vious owners of the building. Eliza beth and Sadie Hine. and Reuben knew of the existence of this lease.
 Mir Kennedy denied the bakery was a nuisance. or that it was a full or regular bakery inasmuch as that only light stuffs were baked there. Attor- ney Root. counsel for the plaintiff. re piled furthermore that Braunis blocks q certain hallway with boxes and things pertaining to his business. fnak- inE It difficult for people to pass Re plying to this. Mir Kennedy said that fhe hallway was no longer blocked as the alleged obstacles were removed ve<feriay by Reuben himself. which was denied by Reuben

LIFE IMPRISONMENT
Murderer of Mrs. Linnie Rankin
 Sentenced Yestarday.

Life Imprisonment is to be the fate or James Mitchell for shooting and killing Mrs Linnie Rankin in Grafton, Vt, on August g. This was the sen tence imposed upon Mitchell yester- day in the Windham county court ih Newfane. He pleaded guilty to mur- der in the second degree, and without any evidence being taken sentence was passed. It was one of the speed fest trials on record, having taken place only a few days over a month since the crime was committed The accused was represented by Attorneys Thomas E. O'Brien and Charles H. Williams of. Bellows Falls.
 The representatives of the state ln- formed the court what could be shown, and probably proved, if an at tempt was made to obtain conviction for murder in the first degree. The accused's representatives were no doubt aware of this, and preferred to offer plea of guilty to murder in the second degree. The court after con sidering this statement stated that the plea was accepted and sentence was accordingly passed.
 Mitchell was a sorry sight His head and eyes were bandaged to con- ceal the effects of the wounds self in fiicted after he had known that he had killed Mrs Rankin. It is believed that he will be blind forever. He is about 30 and the unfortunate woman for whose death he will suffer the re mainder of his life in prison, was six years his junior. Jealousy was sup posed to be the motive of the crime Mrs Rankin's wldower was not in court but some of Mitchell's relatives were

WORK ON SUBWAY.
Streets and Buildings Are Settling
 in Chicaao.

Chicago, Sept 13.-The subways of the Illinois Tunnel Go are found to be the cause of the settling of the streets and of several large buildings in the downtown district This conclusion is set forth by the city's special engt neering committee in supplemental report made yesterday. The engineers cite four instances of settling directly traceable to the undermining of the streets by the tunnel company, and declare that 1t is impossible to prevent a settling of the ground and found.t- tions of the large structures even with improved and safer methods.
 It is found that because of the dan ger to the buildings and streets the tunnel company practically has ceased making connections and many of the connections which were started have been abandoned. No damage was found as a result from work on the main line tunnels.

Secre- tary Loeb in writing of the affair re- fers to Gaston Richard, the alleged correspondent of the paper in this country, and in part speaks as fol- lows:
 "WhenI you came to see the presi- dent you informed him you were the grandson of Marshal Augereau. and that you had been at the battle of Mukden with the Russian army and with the Japanese army afterwards.

ADJUSTMENTS

"Sapho" drew a large audience to
Eastlake park theater last evening,
which was more than pleased with the
entertainment provided. The play is
the most satisfactory which has been
produced this season. The attention
was held as in a wise and the interest
increased with each act
There have been many "Saphos"
and they viii continue to come and go
but Miss Tucker will remain unsur-
passed. Her scenes are strong-but well
balanced. and there is plenty of re-
serve force in evidence. At the climax
of the third act she rose to heights
which one would think it impossible
for even her to climb.
Whit Brandon was at his best as
Jean and played in his own unat-
fected manner which is so impressive.
Elmer Ballard made a good impression
as "Dechelette" and in voice, appear
ance and gesture was excellent. "Un-
Gle Cerasive" was the personification
of comedy and his quaint humor kept
one in an excellent mood. Otto Peck
was very good as "Coudal." Osgood
Smith was capital as "Flamant" and his
scenes were we'll portrayed.
w. II. Desmond as "Hettama" won
more honors and his unctious humor
was contagious. Carolyn Lawrence
was a very charming Aunt Divonne"
and brought the part into prominence.
Margaret Gederoth gave three good in
terpretations of Alice Dore," Madame
Hettema" and Cleo" Marie Desmond
was very charming as Julie" and
'Francine." Dolly Desmond was de-
lightfully natural as Joseph" and well
deserves the highest praise.
The specialties called forth more than
the usual amount of applause. Tonight
and tomorrow night "Sapho" will be
the bill. Dancing will follow the per-
Torrance on both nights. On Satur-
day night an excursion train from
Tempe and Mesa will be run over the
Santa Fe.

FALIA'S ROMANCE.
Had a Southern Love as He Bat.
tied With Ice.

While Anthony FiIla, rs the COM
mander of The America. was fighting
his way braVely toward the Pole. il
became known yesterday, there was a
young woman in the more tropical
climate of Nashville Tenn. who had
more than "A passing interest in his
success. After Fiala left civilization
behind and started across the Arctic
wastes, nothing was heard of him for
two years. The interest of this young
woman thereby was turned to anxi-
ETY., which was relieved recently by
the announcement that the explorer
and his comrades had been found and
rescued by the relief expedition sent
after them.
Fiala, who is Brooklyn man. it
was said, yesterday. engaged himself
to Miss Clara Puryear, of Nashville,
on the day he set sail for the North
Pole. From q casual meeting, eight
years ago. there ripened a love which
eliminated in their betrothal. The
commander of the America met Miss
Puryear on the evening of October II,
1897. He was attending a public re
ceptiOn in the New York state build
at the Tennessee Exhibition. when.
among a group of girls, he saw Miss
Puryear. FiaIa, who was a militiaman.
regiment. He obtained an introduce
tion to the young woman, but their ac-
quaintance practically ended there, for
the militiaman returned to Brooklyn
without learning the address of the
young woman.
After months of effort he learned
she was school teacher in Nash
vile, and was a relative of Lieutenant
Commander Maury of the navy, a gov
eminent scientist, whose work in lay
ing out the ocean lanes" for steamers
across the Atlantic made him famous.
Fiala obtained the young woman's ad-
dress and wrote to her. Several let
tiers were exchanged, and finally. he
visited her in her home. His first pro-
posal of marriage met with an emphat-
ic NO" but he persisted in his suit.
Though he was rejected several times,
he noticed that every no" was weak
er than the preceding one.
For several years Fiala made oc-
