WOMEN CAN KEEP
BEAUTY A CENTURY
College Professor Says Radi-
UNI Will Do 1t.
IS THE DOCTOR JOKING?

Baltimore, Dec. 21.-In a lecture at
Peabody institute, Professor William
X. Brooks, of Hobart College. said that
with the aid of raidium a young wo-
man could retain all of her freshness
and beauty for hundred years or
more. But only rich women can af-
ford the experiment. for the professor
pointed out that this perpetual beauti-
fer" costs from 500 to $500 a grain
else the purchaser would only get
something that resembled ordinary ia
bic salt in appearance.
When Professor Wood, of the chair
of experimental physics, via, was pres
ent at the lecture, was asked about the
statement, he looked puzzled for a mo-
ment. Then he said:
oh, yes, | do remember something
about it. | believe he found that IA
dunn retards the growth of the cater
pillar into the butterfly. and he argued
from this that ii might keep people
young. One might just as we'll say
that, because cigarettes interfere with
growth, use cigarettes. Seriously. |
am quite sure Dr.. Brooks was Joking
when sc said what he did about beauty
and youth. Beyond a doubt he did
not intend to be taken literally"

having refused him an opportunity to
refute on the witness stand General
Kuropatkin's testimony at the trial Of
General Stoessel that before the war
with Japan Count Witte had recon-
mended the abandoning of Port Ar
thur, considering that the opening of
Port Dalny had destroyed the strategic
Importance Of the fortress, Count
White has broken his long silence in
two-column letter to the NOvoe
Vremya. 1t is an interesting disclo-
sure of excerpts from secret dOcu-
ments which throw light on the inner
prove that Kuropatkin was guilty of
misleading the whole government by
an estimate of Russia preparedness
for war. In July, 1908, according to
Count Witte, after tour of inspection
in the far East General kuropathin
in a written report to the emperor
said: Two years ago we thought our
selves ready to defend the Amur re-
9ion and north Manchuria. Today we
cannot only do that, but can be per
fectly confident of the fate of Port
Arthur
Count White narrates that the site
Of Port Dalny and the idea to create a
commercial port there was suggested
by Kuropatkin himself as means for
restricting Port Arthur to military
uses and at the same time carry out
the promise to open any acquired Chi
nese port to the trade Of all nations.
Count Witte multiplies instances Of
discrepancy in Kuropatkin's official
acts and the generals testimony in
the Stoessel case. He also accuses
him of not having provided sufficient
siege guns at Port Arthur. The con-
troversy promises sensational develop

Men Caught in Darr ExpIos-
ion Hemmed in by Walls
Of Slate and Stone.
CONDITIONS ARE IMPROVED.
ONLY BAR IN TOWN CLOSED AND
MEN HAVE CEASED THEIR WILD
CARoUSING, A MOCK TO THEIR
DEAD BROTHERS ENTOMRED.

Jacobs Creek, Pa, Dec. 21.-Rescu-
ing parties are working day and night
to reach the bodies of the two humid
red men thought dead in the Darr
mines. The rescue work is running
more smoothly than at first and great
err Roadway is being made. Thirty
bodies have been recovered by the
men who are boroughing their way
into the pit, which is so marked by
death and destruction. Many bodies
have been located and are lying in
the passage way awaiting Transports
ton to the morguc.
Most or them, however, are still
hemmed In by heavy falls of slate and
other roof formation, mile and half
or more beyond the point to which the
rescuers have penetrated. There is
still a pickering hope that some of
them may yet be living, but the dis
closures Of the Investigations so far
made leave little or no basis for this
hope. There is little probability of
more bodies being found near the
exits. Here and there one or more
may be found who had fallen during
q vain attempt to reach the exit, but
the almost universal belief is that
most of the bodies will be found in a
remote section three miles from the
mouth of the mine, where they were
working when the explosion occurred.
A vast amount of bratticing must be
done before rescue work can proceed.
The rescuing parties, $500 feet from
the main entrance, have found condi-
lions such that to avert an additional
disaster precautionary work must be
done. The poisonous gases must be
forced from the sections beyond and
additional air and ventilation must be
provided for that section.
To provide these safeguards will re-
quire hours of time, and it is not be-
lieved that the great mass of bodies
will be reached before late tonight.
Conditions around the mines and in
this little mining town are greatly i'm
proved. The men who Thursday be-
gan a holiday commenced by drinking
and feasting, have ceased their carous-
ing which made Thursday night hid
eous. An important factor In bringing
about this condition was The closing of
the only bar located within two miles
of the mine. Probably more potent
than all else in this improved condi-
ton was the arrival from Kitanning of
Rev. Father LaCarroll. former rector
OF ST. Timothy's Catholic church here,
OF which a majority of the victims
were members. He gave spiritual con-
ISOLATION to the widows and orphans
and talked to the men along lines to
make them sober and reflective.

FRIENDS WERE WORRIED.
REPORT GENERALLY CURRENT,
HAD 1T THAT THE TWO MINOR
TO FIREARMS.

washington, Dec. 21.-Thursday's
encounter between John Sharp Will
liams of Mississippi and MIR. De Ar
mond of Missouri on the floor of the
house, has had no aftermath so far as
the principals themselves are concern
ed, but friends Of each have travelled
back and forth between the camps Of
the minority leader and the leader OF
the minority opposition, waving boughs
OF peace It is understood, however
that they acted of their own volition
and not by authorization of the princi-
pals.
Rumors of the likelihood of a chal-
lenge to a duel foated' about the cor
ridors of the capitol, but investigation
proved them fanciful. Mr.. De Ar
mond's attitude is stated to be that he
has no intention either to perpetuate
the quarrel, nor to maize the first step
toward a reconciliation. He feels that
any move toward reconciliation
shrould originate on Mr.. Williams S
side of the line. Mr.. Williams is I'M
derstood to believe himself to be in
the right For the sake of many
things, however. he does not care 10
continue the npleasantness, neither
does he feel that an amende is due
from him until the first plank to
bridge the breach has been laid down
by the gentleman from Missouri.
Notwithstanding the oppositeness OF
these two views, it is predicted by
common friends that the two distin
guished Democrats will yet clasp
hands and covenant to forgive if not
to forget, thereby healing the broken
surface of things at least.
In Mr.. Williams's behalf it is ex-
planned today that his real reason for
resigning from the ways and means
committee was to make place for his
colleague, Mr.. Bowers, on the COM
mittee on appropriations.

Hammond. Ind, Dec. 21.-A. F.
Knots of this city has "evened" mat
ters with the United States Steel cor
poration, which dismissed him several
months ago because it was thought
that Mr. Knots was becoming too
prominent in the affairs of Gary, which
city the corporation had employed Mr.
Knots to build. Through the efforts
Of Mr. Knots in the Lake superior
court at Crown Point, the United
States Steel trust was defeated in
mandamus proceedings brought by the
corporation to compel the town board
to arrange for a referendum election
to decide whether the Gary street rail
way franchise should be granted.
Judge McMahan held that the code of
1905 repealed the 1899 referendum
statute, and that the mandamus pro-
ceedings were useless. The defeat of
the corporation was hailed with sat
isfaction by the people of Gary as the
Gavet street railway franchise pro-
vides for Scent fare. Work on the
construction of the road has already
begun.
