NIGHT RIDERS WARN

TOLD aoT TO VISIT HIS
OLD HOME.

HOPKINSVILLE, KY, Aug. b
Quite a number of warning letters
have been received by R. W. White,
of this city, sales manager for a lead
ing company manufacturing farming
machinery, telling him that he must
not again visit his old home in Caid-
we'll county. The reason given is that
he has been strongly antagonistic to
the farmers association and that ne
has done all that he could to keep MS
own relatives and other farmers from
Joining. These letters have been
mailed from various postoffices, among
them being Cobb, Cerulean Springs,
Wallonia and Princeton, and they all
threaten him with violence should ne
venture into the neighborhood where
he was reared. Notwithstanding the
recent of the notes, Mr.. White re-
Gently made visit to his relatives
but as soon as he returned to THIS
city he received a letter stating that
he had been warned for the last time,
and that he must not repeat the visit.

MIRACLE WORKING
P aIESTNEGLECTED
FATHER JOHN OF cRoRsTADT NO
LONGER WoRsHlPPED BY
RUSSIAN PEASANTRY.

ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 1S.-Fa-
Their John OF Cronstadt, the famous
miracle worker and prophet Of the
Maujiks. complains that the faithful
are neglecting him. Up TO few years
ago Father John had such firm hold
on the faith Of the Russian peasantry
that he was feared even by the car.
Gifts of money streamed into him
from all parts OF the empire, but all
this is changed. Father John is sell
dom spoken of now, and the gifts
have ceased to come. The holy man
of Cronstadt has aged rapidly in re-
cent years, and in an interview the
other day, said:
Il am an old broken man, and very
i'll. / have to live on porridge and
pearl barley soup, with tea. My sole
remaining pleasure is the daily serv-
ice at church, when / forget to tell my
troubles"
The church authorities here rejoice
greatly at the priests downfall, for
he has been a thorn in their sides
ever since his fame went abroad
throughout the land and thereby made
Cronstadt the mecca of Russia.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 1s.-When
W. P. Morgan was taken to the city

they had caught in the act Of passing
bogus checks was more than the clev-

Morgan was formerly chief attache

for the favor of Mrs. E. Kaufman,
wealthy and handsome proprietress of
prosperous Tonopah caravansary
He proved to be all this, besides be-

be reduced to the extremity of passing

elry is not known at present, except
to Morgan himself, who will not tell.

IN JAIL In DEFAULT

his money by selling papers alternate

cities, and is known to perhaps sew
eral million people. No more dilapi-
dated form to look upon is ever seen
in human form than Ike, as he is
called. He sleeps in the alleys and
has been known to go without a
change of clothing for more than
year. Because of his unbalanced mind
the authorities seldom interfere with
him, but it seems that the Cincinnati
authorities got tired of his presence.
Hirsch has always kept his money in
bank here, but while he has been
in jail several days no one has ever
asked the bank to forward his money.
The pathetic side OF lke's story is
known to but few people who have
known him for many years. He ls
not unbalanced in mind for any or
binary cause. When living with his
parents, two brothers and three SIS

was the only one to escape death.
He was a mere boy, but seeing the
helpless members of his family burn
to death completely WRECKED his mind,
and he has never recovered to any
appreciable degree. Ike is harmless
man, and, while he is somewhat of a
nuisance, those who know him best,
and know his story, are always glad
to buy his papers, and never COM
plain of him.

POVERTY OF MILLET
It. P. o. Weekly


1t seems almost incredible that Mil
let, painter of The Angelus" and
other world-famous pictures, should
have suffered from the poverty that
forms the basis of the following story,
but it is fact that he did. One day,
indeed, he found himself without food
in the house for himself and his fam
lily. In this extremity Diaz offered to
take two of Millet's drawings to Paris,
and make an effort to sell them. Even
ing came, the Millet family anxiously
awaiting their friends return. If he
came back without the. drawings it
meant bread; with them, hungry to
bed. Night fell, the family sitting in
darkness because they felt they could
not afford light.
At last they heard the stamping OF
Diaz's wooden leg as he crossed the
little paved court, and his lusty voice
calling out: Light! Light. Where
is the Light" The family hurried to
light a candle. But even while the
head of the old-fashioned sulphur
match was still spluttering, Diaz, who
was a Spaniard, and nothing If not
temperamental, slapped down two
loaves of bread on the table, one after
another, in quick succession. When
at last the candle was burning, he
drew out sixty francs (12) in gold, all
save one piece, which he had been
obliged to change in buying the bread.
He arranged the gold pieces in a cir
Gle like a halo around the candle,
ending with the change, Of which ne
made a neat pile.
All sighed Millet, as he regarded
the unhoped-for treasure, If only
could count on sum like this every
week."
Would you turn capitalist? re-
proachfully asked Diaz.
II TO suffer is spur to genius IS II
a wonder that these Barbizon men
were great painters?

PRICE OF
PORT ARTHUR
1T WAS HIGH, THE JAPANESE
LOSING 10000 MEN BY GUN
FIRE ALONE.

Japanese justice-perhaps Japanese
humanity, also-comes to the rescue
of Gen. Stoessel and his lieutenanH
from the censure of neutral Nations
and the possible condemnation OF his
tory. Japanese evidence, volunteered
in behalf of the Russian commander
at Port Arthur, may save him from
severe punishment by his own Govern
ment for offenses Of which the men
who won Port Arthur for the Mlkado
say he is not guilty.
According to Capt. Tsunoda, no"
military attache of the Japanese lega-
ton in Paris, the first Japanese ON
Ger to enter Port Arthur, the surreno-
err of the famous stronghold at the
point of the Regents Sword" as the
extreme end of the Liao-Tung penins-
ula was formerly called, could not
have been averted, whatever dlsre-
gard for the lives of the soldiers de-
tending it might have been shown oy
tbe General in command. Capt. Tsun-
oda estimates the extreme possible
prolonging of the terrible ordeal Oh
the garrison at not more than TWO
weeks.
This Japanese officer asserts that
the state of Russia troops in the Tor
tresS was pitiful as well as hopeless
when Stoessel capitulated. He de-
clares that they did not count more
than 10000 ill-fed and exhausted men,
in no condition for severe service. Inc
strength of Nogi's army must nave
been at least three times that num-
her. and the Japanese constantly hiled
nm their blanks with fresh troops.
Perhaps the most impressive tribute
maid to Stoessel's defense Of Port Ar
thur is the statement made by Capt
Tsunoda of the losses sustained by
Janan in the siege of that fortress
He says that Japan will not forget II
Russia does, that the taking OF Fort
Arthur cost 10000 Japanese soldiers
slain by gun fire alone.
That is heavier price than the
world has supposed that the victors
had to pay. 1t makes the siege OF
Port Arthur one of the bloodiest In all
history. Five battles like Gettysburg
would not cost so many men kiiie
by gun fire. The conquering Germans
lost fewer soldiers in that way in the
war with France.
In the light of Tsunoda's testimony
there isn't much doubt as to Stoes'
sells place in history. He might be
found guilty of many errors by the
court-martial which Is to try him, and
| its verdict would still be blotted out
in the view of posterity, by the rec
ord of the enemy's losses. He Will be
acquitted by the just testimony o.
60 600 dead soldiers of the Mikado.

A ride of thirty-seven miles for nve
cents can be had in New York by any
one who has the time and knows the
city. It will take him seven hours
constant travelling, but he will see a
variety of sights which will well repay
him for the toll, to say nothing OF the
nickel.
The general scheme is to traverse
the city, east and west, on nearly al
the cross-town lines, transferring 10
the uptown cars till the traveller finds
himself at Broadway and 235 street.
The first crossing comes at Fulton
then back through Duane, west again

BACHELORS TAXED
BY CITY ASSESSOR
ATLANTIC CITY OFFICIAL PUTS
500 EXTRA TAX ON
SINGLE MEN.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. 49,
Assessor Henry Alexander, of the
town of Absecon, has taken it upon
himself to impose a tax of 500 on
each and every bachelor in his juris-
diction. The first intimation of it
came Yesterday, when Frank Hamill,
a wealthy bachelor, was before the
board of assessors and wanted to
know why his taxes had been raised
500.
WAS that tax put upon me because
am a bachelor asked Hamill, jok-
ingly. The smile left his face when
Alexander soberly an dearnestly said:
That's just exactly why it was put
on your BILL
The assessor declared further that
bachelors should not kick over pal
try sum like that when they escaped
the cares and expenses of raising fam
lilies.
ne luSd VI UdCA0AOlo "S wv
600 kicking over a little tax is pre-
posterous," he declared.
Following the announcement that
Hamill had been practically fined for
remaining single, other rich bachelors
discovered that they, too, had been
asked to pay extra taxes this year,
and the single men of Absecon are
talking of banding together to carry
a protest before the state board, and,
if. necessary, to the courts.

PARIS, Aug. 1S.-Paris is now ex-

that which swept over New York.

been many attacks on women and chill
dren. but, fortunately. the criminals
were discovered and driven on or
taken into custody before they could
carry out their criminal intentions.
Two cases were reported today OF in
suits To women, the offenders making
good their escape.
Not alone in the poorer quarters,
but even in the most fashionable Sec
tions of the city have the attacks been
made and so numerous have they be-
come that there is talk of reviving the
guiIlotine as a penalty for the crime.
Men have been caught trying to en-
tice little girls into lonely roads. Many
of the men have been badly beaten.
In the suburbs a little girl was car
ried off and kept prisoner for three
DAYS. She was not harmed, but so
badly frightened that she can give no
account of her adventure. The man
has been arrested Near the FORTH

ported. Several times officers have
