Chasing the Nurenhera.

Honolulu, Sept 7.-The Watson Navigation Company's steamer Will helmina reported that on arrival that she picked up a wireless message from the British dreadnought Austra- lia, then in Hawaiian waters, saying she was in full chase of the German cruiser Nuremberg, which left here September 1.

NEWS OF THE ALLIED VICTORY IN FRANCE FIRES THE PATRl- OTiSM OF THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND.

London, Sept. 7.-11:30 D. m.-Once more the Germans and the allied French and British armies have grap- pied in the great battle which has been fought with only two brief in termissions since August 13. The tide has turned for time at least and according to an official bulletin from Paris, the Germans on Sunday evening were compelled to retreat.
 The battle line stretched in rough crescent east of Paris from Nanteuii-Le-Haudouin to Verdun. The front was more than 100 miles long with the French on the outer edge of the crescent and the Germans occupying the interior line. It was a general action and the British troops were in the battle with the French.
 Brief and indefinite though the an nouncement, it has kindled high hopes in Great Britain that the Ger man steam roller has struck an inn passable barrier.
 The Pail Mall Gazette military critics believe it possible for General Joffre to have abandoned La Ferte, Chalons or Reims without a blow un- less he were determined to make a stand on better fighting ground. No news came today from eastern France, where Emperor William is re- ported to be watching an attack on Nancy.
 Petrograd reports big engagements on Galicia with the Austrians re- treating between the Vistula and the Russian center with great losses. 1t reports also that the Russian army which occupied Lember is surround ing PrZemysl a fortified city of 35,- GOO inhabitants, on the river San, in Galicia, 50 miles west of Lemberg, and that the army has mastery over all the Austrian territory north of the Carpathian mountains.
 The Belgian army is reorganizing rapidly, according to Antwerp cores pondents and has repulsed the Ger man advance between Antwerp and Ghent.
 As the allied armies have fallen back from one line of defense to an other the people have tried to pre- serve confidence that the retreat was for a purpose and that finally the al- lies would stand on defenses chosen by themselves and assume the offen- sive on their own terms. The front extending between the two Actresses of Paris and Verdun affords oppor- tunities for campaign of that char acter.
 The German army has penetrated several miles southeast of Nanteuille Haudouin but tonight a bulletin indi- cates there is strong probability that the French left, assisted by a small put powerful British army, has threatened if not turned the right of the German wedge.
 The German retreat may be ony temporary and unimportant CT it may mark the beginning of the end of their long rush.
 Some English military critics dis sent from the popular theory that German strategy has been directed throughout toward a far-reaching westward flanking movement. They believe it has been massive frontal uf nly 41 Nrn, precautionary excursions to the west ward to anticipate any attempt to en- velope their right.

The Sentinel=record., 1914-09-08

Dinant, which had a. population of about 5000, dated back to the sixth century. The town was picturesqualy situated beneath limestone cliffs near the river Mouse. The cliffs were sur mounted by the walls of an old fort ress, much decayed through neglect.
 Dinant frequently has been the scene of warfare. In 14G6 Duke Philip the Good besieged the town with 30000 men, and when it sur rendered permitted his men to pillage it for three days and then set it oL fire. Bound in twos, 500 of the in habitants were drowned in the Mouse while Philip, although ill, witnessed the executions from the litter on which he was carried to the river bank. Afterward even the walls of the buildings were ievelled so that not a yestige of the town should re- main.
 The town was rebuilt by Charles the Bold, Philips son, but it again was sacked and burned in 1854 by the French.
 The principal building of historic interest was the church of Notrc Dame built in the thirteenth century. The town was the center of manufac lures of metallic wares, glass, paper and leather.

DEAD LETTER OFFICE
HAS BEEN ABOLISHED
Big Decrease In Lost and Mis-
directed Mail Responsible
For Closing.

Washington, July 1S.-The dead
letter" Office in the postal depart
ment in Washington is no more. The
last auction sale of old letters and
parcels has been held; $4,000 was
realized; so employees were dis
charged or transferred to other de-
partments and Uncle Sam is con-
Quoting his letter business" more
efficiently.
The Office was really abolished
because of the big decrease in lost,
misdirected or unsigned pieces OF
mail. and because letters addressed
20 persons who cannot be found are
more speedily disposed of by open
ing machines and quick clerks.
But while the dead letter" office
is TO be abolished here. the misdi-
rected mail matter in the future is
20 be distributed to IL cities
throughout the country. For in
stance. if letter is mailed from
Springfield Ohio, to Albany, \. y,
and the address is correct and there
is no return address on the envel-
ope. the letter will be sent to Chi
cago. where it will be opened. If
information as to the name of the
sender is written therein the letter
will be forwarded back to Spring
field.
To Benjamin Franklin probably
belongs the distinction of starting
the dead letter division of the post
office. When the seat of the FEEDER
Al Government was in Philadelphia,
Franklin had q bureau where mis-
directed letters were examined. The
dead letter Office was established
here in 1925. Before 1860 few de-
tailed records We're kept of the re-
ceipts in the dead letter office. al
though one old book in the depart
meut showed that in 1880 mere
were 100000 letters referred to that
bureau. In 1859 in response to
Senate resolution the Postmaster
General reported that the receipts
of parcels and letters for the year
numbered 100000
In 1875 there were 20 men and
so women employed in this bureau
and the Office was mentioned as a
model of industry and punctuali-
ty."
Last year the force consisted OF
about $50 persons and more than
10000, 1000 pieces OF mail matter
we're handled, most of it being re-
turned to senders.

There was a man in our town who
could neither read nor write. He
was foreign born and had never
been in school, Yet he had a pleas
ing address and some natural gifts.
He heard that the position of SEX
ton at the church was vacant and
being out of job he applied for the
post. Having good recommends
tions and being of sober habits and
industrious he was favorably receiv-
ed. The trustees were about to
grant him the place, when one ask
ed him IL he could read and write.
He answered no. They declined
then to employ him. 1t would never
do to have a sexton who was entire
ly illiterate.
He had friend who kept a to-
bacco shop. To him he told of his
failure.
'Ill tell you what I'll do for you,
Tony" said his friend. Here's a
box of cigars I'll give you. Go out
and sell 'em. Go ahead"
"All right" exclaimed Tony.
He sold the cigars. With the pro-
ceeds he bought more. And so on.
He discovered that he was an excel
lent salesman.
1t was not long until he set up a
little cigar store of his own. His
business thrived. His middle name
was Business He had in his veins
the blood of the Profit.
A little while and he had dozen
stores, all doing we'll.
Then he bought a lot and store

He pursued his real estate opera
tions and was uniformly successful.

out of breath, and said to the cash
