Listen Daughter. Your mother tells me
that you and she have been talking over the
matter of getting hired girl to do the house
work. She also says that she feels sure
that you two could get along with the work
all right, but that the young fellow who is
coming around here evenings will think we
are not swell enough if he knows that you
and mother do the housework Don't you
worry about that. If he thinks such stuff.
he is not good enough for you. But he looks
pretty good to me and if he is half the fellow
take him to be he'll think all the more of
you when he knows that you not only know
how to cook and bake and mend, but that
you are OF the job. So let's put up a little
game on him. The next time he comes, re-

amuse himself in the parlor for moment un-
til you finish manicuring the supper dishes

a Busy M an.

A customer of a large downtown
tailoring establishment was getting
service out of a suit of clothes he had
not paid for. Statement after state
ment was sent to the customer and
finally letter informing the man that
unless he paid his bill the matter
would be put in the hands Of the COM
pany's attorney. That awakened the
customer. He FASTENED to the store
and demanded to see the head OF
the company. He asserted the only
reason for not paying the bill was that
he had been so busy with other af-
fairs that he had overlooked his debt
to the tailoring company.
"Why. see here" he emphatically
told the president of the company,

Terrible Russian Defeat
Confirmed.

Suwalki, Poland, Saturday, Feb
2O.-(Via Berlin ann London, Feb
e, 4::5O D. m.)-The German forces
under Field Marshal H;ndenbnrg, by
hard fighting and extraordinary
marches, Inflicted such striking
defeat on the Russians opposed to
them in the recent battle of the
Mazurian Lakes country, that the
Russian remnants are negligible
quantity in the operations now in
progress. The Russians killed and
wounded in the four days fighting
are estimated at 10000 men. Over
90, 900 Russians, out of a total of
15O, 900 engaged, are prisoners in
German hands
The fighting has been described
as the February campaign in East
Prussia and North Poland, and it is
regarded here as a second Tannen-
berg.
The Russians, composing the
Tenth Army, were commanded by
General Sievers. By skilIful Use of
the railroads at his disposal and by
the sacrifice of entire battalions in
order to bring off a few guns, he
succeeded in saving a greater part
Of the artillery, but no fewer than
6O,OOOot his 10000 men already
are counted among the German
prisoners. while the Russians killed
and wounded in the four days battle
and the subsequent running fights
are estimated at 80, 900.

PIEPER GIVEN ONE
WEEK IN WHICH TO

The plea of William Pieper. who was

yesterday on a charge of first degree
murder, has been deferred until next
Friday morning at o'clock Circuit
Judge Ashford today made an order to
this effect, although Ella A. c. Lone
and George Davis, attorneys for the
defendant, asked for continuance of
four weeks.
I'm a case of this kind week should
be sufficient for the defendant to make
up his mind whether he is guilty or
not guilty" said the court.
The charge against Pieper, who is
white man, is that on the night OF
July 81. at o'clock, he shot and killed
Susie Pieper, his Hawaiian wife, in
the house of William Mahuka in North
kukui street. Pieper then turned the
gun on himself, inflicting wounds
from which he recovered but recently.

Arrange for Internes.
One of the most important features
Of our work in China is to effect more
friendly relations between the medical
schools and hospitals In China, so that
the hospital stalls may for three
months in each year attend the col
leges for special courses. and in turn
to allow the graduates of the medical
schools every opportunity to enter the
hospitals as internes.
Another thing that should not be
overlooked is our intention to arrange
for the establishment OF one or more
nurses training schools for Chinese
girls, SO that native Chinese youne
women nurses may be obtained for the
hospitals.
There will be six more fellowships
established TOR Chinese students de.
string to take up medicine as pro
fession. We already have six. The
additional ones, as at present, will be
awarded on the basis of competitive
examinations for Chinese graduates iu
medicine.
Eve will also establish five nurses
fellowshIps, by which stipends will be
paid to missionaries returning to the
United states on furloughs, to allow
them to study at medical schools in
the states.
While DR.. Buttrick did not make any
estimate as to the sum which will be
expended in this great work for the
advancement of Chinese medical sci
ence, the expenditure will be many
millions.

The Rockefeller Institute for Medical

years, for a preliminary work. his let

GREAT BRIDGE COMPLETED.
Structure Across River Sar1 Cost
 $15,OOO,0O0.

Calcutta, Feb. 6.-The Ganges has been bridged for the first time. The great structure across the river at Sara is completed, freight trains sre going across and it will open for pas- senger traffic next month.
 The bridge took six years to build and cost $15,000,O00. It consists Of fifteen main spans and six land spans. the total length being about 2 mile and an eighth.
 It was necessary co sink the foun- dations to depth of 200 feet below high flood level. because the bed of the river consists of the finest pos. sible sand, which is carried down from the Himalayas. An obstacle such as sunken boat or tree causes this fine sand to be disturbed to as great depth as fifty feet.
 Another difficulty is the habit of the Ganges to change its course rather whimsically. The point at which the river has been bridged Is, so far as could be ascertained from available records, the one place at which these deviations of the river have been at a minimum. The river is walled with stone, three quarters of a mile upstream and one quarter of "a mile down stream from the bridge.

 In the matter of contraband anl conditional contraband .cargoes con signed to neutral countries steamship companies are having considerable difficulty owing to the strict precau- tions taken by the British govern ment to prevent such article from reaching Get 1any.
 The captain Gr a Norwegian steam CT states that his ship was held up at Falmouth, England for three days at an expense of $1.2O0. because he had on boarl with other mixed cargo. 800 barrels of cOttonseed oil for which there was no certified decla- ration that it was for Dutch con- sumption only. The captain cahleo his agents in Rotterdam and they made a sworn declaration before the British consul there. who in turn cabled the British authorities at Fal- mouth, whereupon the vessel was re- leased. This expensive delay occur red notwithstanding the fact that cottonseed oil ;s not listed among contraband or conditional contraband articles A number of other articles not so listed may be held up because of the absence of declaration speci- fically showing that they are not destired to enemy countries of Great Britain
