An English VievJ of Us.
An American young man does not
aa a rule look forward to marriage nor
prepare for it by saving any consider
able portion of his ante-nuptial in
come, says the London Telegraph.
When he marries it is usually on short
notice and because he has fallen very
desperately in love with some one and
cannot find it in his hear;. to wait un
til cold caution declares the venture
advisable. Even when an engagement
lis a long one he usually squanders so
much on gifts and entertainments for
his fiance and there is only a very
moderate amount to begin housekeep
ing on. Thus before hid marriage the
'young American of the middle-class
begins to give evidence of what js to
be his chief national characteristic as
a husband—his unfailing, unselfish anil
almost improvident generosity. The
middle-class husband in America rare
ly interferes with the affairs of the
household. He hari'ly knows the cost ol'
staple articles of food. As a rule he
does not make his .vife a regular al
lowance either for household or per
sonal expenses, but gives her as much
as he can spare, freely, but with a lain
of system that is not conducive 10 the
best outlay of their income. The
young American husband Is also very
indulgent to his wife's fondness for
fine clothes. He would far rather have
an extravagant wife than ' a dowdy
one, and although he grumbles occa
sionally at a millinery bill, in reality
he glories in the resplendent appear
ance of his wife in her line feaihers.
The American husband is rare who
does not concede his wife's right to ex
pend a much larger sum with her
dressmaker than he does with his
tailor. Indeed he oftin leaves his
tailor altogether and cheerfully re
pairs to the ready-made clothing-house
in order that his wife may have more
money for extravagant finery.
Justice a Little Tardy.
In October, l(j:i3. because of his inspir
ing plea for individual liberty, Roger
Williams was ordered by the general
court of Massachusetts to leave the
colony forever. He went to Rhode Is
land. where he lived for nearly 50 years.
But the official conscience grew a little
restless, writes William George Gordon,
and some years ago—in April, 1899 —
Massachusetts actually made atonement
for its rash act. The original papers,
yellow, faded and crumbling, were taken
from their pigeonhole tomb and "by an
ordinary motion, made, seconded and
adopted," the order of banishment was
solemnly "annulled and repealed and
made of no effect whatever." The ban
under which Roger Williams had lain
for over 260 years was lifted. And
there is no reason now, according to
law, why Roger Williams cannot en
ter the state of Massachusetts and re
side therein. The action was to the
credit and honor of the state; it was
right in its spirit, and Roger, being in
the spirit for more than two centuries,
may have smiled gently and understood.
But the reparation was really over
delayed.
Intensity of thought and action may
he good or bad according to the spirit in
which it is used. If a man is so intense
that his devotion to his work makes him
cross with his children and curt with
his friends, his efficiency in the work
Itself is blunted, says the Sunday School
Times. A man can be intense and at
the same time mindful of the rights of
those about him. It is not enough to
gain a single aim in one's work. Said a
prominent business man of great inter
ests. whose aggressive energy was
known far and wide: "I had rather
have a man's respect wit hout his business
than his business without his respect."
Men of strong personality and dominant
will can have business, and friendly fel
lowship, and gentleness in the home, if
they care to.
A young telegraph operator in Mil
waukee, Wis., gives what is described
as a marvelous exhibition of control
of mind over matter by attracting
money to himself. Coins being placed
on a table the operator has a kind of
a fit, whereupon the shekels hustle to
him. We have heard that money
talked, but never before that it
walked. As to the fit, mcst any of us
would have a spasm if we saw any
money coni'i our way.

St. Petersburg, April 5. —As the

land operations on a large, scale, the
Russian authorities are exercising
greater vigilance to prevent, the news
of their plans for the movement of

Che Foo. April 5. —The first steam

The army consists of 50,000 men, in

SEVEN SQUADRONS
London, April -The Daily Tele
graph's Seoul correspondent says he
learns from a Japanese sailor who
participated in the attacks on Port
Arthur that the Japanese fleet is di
vided into seven squadrons. Four ot
tliesc are watching Port Arthur, the
fifth patrols the coast and the sixth
and seventh cruise between Vladivo
stok and North Japan. Two torpedo
boats were much damaged in the en
gagements, but otherwise the fleet
was little injured. The damages to
the Japanese cruisers Iwate and
Yoshine have been repaired and the
vessels have joined the fleet.
London, April 7.—The Times cor
respondent who is cruising in the
vicinity of Port Arthur, cabling con
cerning the holdup of his vessel by a
Russian warship, says it was the ar
mored cruiser Mayan, tlying the flag
of N ice Admiral Makaroff, which

Reliable reports were received

there at several important points.
Tokio, April s.—A dispatch from
Seoul, Korea, says that the Japanese
supply steamers are entering the
estuary of the Yalu river and are
landing their cargoes at various
points on the Korean shore. It is
presumed here that the movement
of these supply steamers Is covered
by Japanese gunboats. If this is
true, the Russian forts erected upon
the Chinese side of the Yalu river are
evidently not effective.
According to reliable Korean re
ports the American mines at Cnsan
and the English mines at Gwendolen
are safely guarded by detachments
of Japanese troops.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 14 1904.
While the first line of defense
against the Japanese advance from
Korea is a strong position, selected
by (Jen. Kuropatkin, near Fcng
lluang-Cheng, it is believed the Rus
sians intend to hold out as long as
possible at Antung, which commands
the Pekin road. The place has many
natural advantages for defense.
The Russians have entrenched
themselves heavily near Hai-Chcng,
to block the progress of the Japan
ese in case tliev succeed in landing
at the head of the I Jan-Tung gulf.
Shanghai, April S. It has been
learned here that the Russians nave

Attempt to Wreck a Steam*lii|>.
Portland, Ore., April O.—A bottle
containing two pounds of powder
heavily charged with nitroglycerine
and containing a box of 100 detonat
ing caps was found Tuesday on tlfts
guard rail of the steamer Albany of
the Western Transportation C'o.'s
line. The fuse had burned almost to
the caps, but had gone out. Ilad the
bomb exploded, the Albany would
doubtless have been completely
wrecked. From the fact that a quan
tity of Chinese tissue paper and a
white sock such as is worn by Chi
nese was wrapped around the bomli,
it is thought that a plot to destroy
the steamer was evolved by Chinese.
The transportation company has re
fused to employ Chinese.

St. Louis, April 7.—Cnited States
Senator >l. 11. llurton, of Kansas,
was ye.vferday sentenced to six
months* imprisonment in jail and a
line of s:>,joo for using liis influence
1 before the postoffice department in
behalf of the Hialto (irain and Se
curities Co., of SI. Louis, and for hav
ing received payment from the com
pany for his service. Senator Bur
ton's attorney. Judge Krum, immedi
ately filed a bill of exceptions in the
j ease and offered a bond for SIO,OOO,
i which was accepted. The case now
will he appealed to the United States
district court of appeals, the high
est tribunal in the matter.
The bill of exceptions which was
| filed yesterday is a voluminous docu
| ment, comprising more than 500
j pages of typewritten matter. It is a
1 complete transcript of the proceed-
I ings of the trial, and will be used by
! the I'nitetl States court of appeals in
reviewing the case. The bill of er
' ror, which contains tho grounds for
! the appeal, sets forth in detail all ad
verse rulings by Judge Klmer 1!.
I Adams, before whom the case was
I tried in the Cnited States district
court.
One of the principal points form
ing the basis of the appeal of the
I case is that Judge Adams admitted
j us evidence several checks received
by Senator llurton from the Itiulto
Drain and Securities Co. while he was
in Washington. The defense con
tended in the trial that if an offense
lad been committer] when Senator
llurton accepted and cashed the
"hecks, it was committed in Wasli
i Ington and that the St. Louis court
] foTise(|iiently did not have jurisdie
-1 lion. Judge Adams sustained the ar
guments of the district attorney,
I ivho held that the bank in Washing
! ion at which Senator I'nrton cashed
j :he checks, acted simply as his
; igeilt, and that, in any event, the
j question of jurisdiction in that in
| stance was a matter f<ir the jury to
j decide.
Another 7>oint upon which Senator
Burton's attorneys laid stress in the
| hill of error was the introduction or
j testimony and documentary evidence
} ivhieh, it Ls alleged, tended to preju
| lice the minds of the jurors against
! the defendant, while it had no direct
j hearing upon the merits of the
•barge against Senator llurton. V
specific instance was the overruling
] :>f objections by the defense to the
! district attorney reading several tel-
S .-grams which passed between Sena

I notable feature of the closing session

and,
"I hereby announce that all such

SOMEWHAT IMPROVED.

voraliie than a Week Ago.
New York, April 'J.— It. <!. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Iteview of Trade says:
Commercial conditions have im
proved somewhat during the past
week, although there is still much to
be. desired. Dispatches from the
south are most encouraging. At the
more seasonable weather pre
vailed, yet spring trade is still be
low normal. The best news of the
week was the settlement of many
labor controversies, or at least re
sumption of work pending arbitra
tion. Manufacturing returns are
still confusing, notable improve
ments in the iron and steel industry
being offset bv less favorable reports
regarding textile and footwear fae
, lories.
Agricultural work progresses rap-
Idly under better than average con
ditions. cotton being planted
unusually early. It is a good sign
that the month opened with prices
of commodities less inflated. Tra>' .-
porting interests are overcoming
freight. congestion, while railway
earning* in March were only .7 per
cent, smaller than in 1903, and large*
i ly surpassed fill preceding years.
Improvement in the iron and steel
1 industry is no longer a matter of
' conjecture or sanguine hopes, but. a
! certainty. New business is constant
-1 ly coming forward and gradually idle
plants resume, while recent moderate
| gains in quotations are readily main*
1 tained.

dent's yacht." Continuing, the secre
j tarv says:
"She receives her orders from ihe
department in the same manner as
\ other vessels. In accordance with a
j custom of long standing, however,
a vessel of the navy has been placed
at the disposition of the president
from time to time, as he may desire
it. The Mayflower has been the ves
j sel selected for this service, under
i directions from the president that at
j no time should she be diverted from
\ any naval duties for which she might
;be needed, it would be an injustice
Ito the officers and men of the May

says:"For two years I had kidney
trouble and there was such a severe
pain through my loins and limbs that
I could not stoop or st raigliten up with

about and was unable to rest at night,
arising in the morning tired and worn
out. The kidney secretions were ir
regular and deposited a heavy sedi

tism but failed to help me. I lost all
cou/ldence in medicine and began to
feel as if life were not worth living.

me so quickly and so thoroughly that I
gladly made a statement to that effect,
for publication. This was in IS9S, and
during the six years which have
elapsed I have never known Doan's.

wife of a severe case of backache in
the same thorough manner."
