MONTOUR AMERICAN FRANK C. ANGLE. Proprietor. Danville, Pa., Apr. 21, 1904. JAPANESE LAND NEAR NEW C HWANG LONDON, April 20.-2:02 p. m.~ A despatch to the Central News from St. Petersburg, gays it is reported that a Japanese force has landed near New Cli wiing. The Japanese legation here is greatly interested in the announcement of Vi ceroy Alexieff's resignation. The opin ion is expressed that if he had resign ed six months there would have been no war but now that hostilities are in progress the Japanese would have pre ferred to see Alexieff retain control. SKIRMISHING ON THE YALU SEOUL, April 20.—11:45 a. m. —The Japanese authorities here admit that constant skirmishing is occurring be tween the opposing armies on the Yalu river, but they claim that no decisive action has taken phice up to date, though news of such an engagement is expected at any moment. It is estimat ed that the Russians now have 50,000 men on the Yalu river. The wildest rumors are afloat.largely from Korean sources, which are absolutely unreli able. CORRESPONDENTS MOVE FORWARD NEW CHWANG,ApriI 20.—The cor reipondents of leading French, Italian and British newspapers, of one Am erican newspaper and of the Associat ed Press have been permitted to pro ceed to Mukden. They left here to day. United States Consul Miller en tertained the correspondents at the consulate previous to their departure. They are the first of the foreign news papermen admitted to the Russian lines since the declaratioj of war. RUSSIA BUYS FOUR WARSHIPS ST. PETERSBURG, April 20. 1:49 p. m. —-In regard to the reported purchase by Russia of four ships in the United States, i: is now said that the deal was negotiated at Constantinople ty General Williams, the agent of a Philadelphia ship building firm, aud the Russian Ambassador to Turkey, M. Zincoff The admiralty still lacks definite in formation as to the cause of the Pet ropavlovsk disaster. The authorities at Port Arthur evidently are not yet convinced tfiat they have the true ex planation. The general staff here is divided between two opinions, a mine or a boiler explosion, although a few still cling to the theory that the bat tleship was sunk by a submarine boat. The boiler explosion theory is based ou the knowledge that the Petropav lovsk had been steaming at full speed aud that her sudden slow down may have caused au accumulation of pros sure which burst her boilers. Those who accept the mine theory and they are in the majority believe that the explosion of the mine detonated the magazine which blew up before the boilers. The main objection advanced against the mine idea is that the wat er where the catastrophe occurred is too deep for anchored mines. "I can scarcely imagine that Vice Admiral Toga would dare to turn loose a lot of floating mines," said one of the highest naval authorities. "The tides are high aud the currents strong at Port Arthur and floating mines might easily cut to sea and endanger his own ships." PHOTOGRAPH OF PETROPAVLOVSK PORT ARTHUR, April 20.—Au in stantaneous photograph taken of the Petropavlovsk disaster may subse quently prove to be of value in deter min ng the contravened questions concerning it. Further details of the disaster show that the eye witnesses were surprised at the absence of a formidable report. An enormous column of fire burst from the middle of the battleship as the vessels sank. The minor detonations heard were presumably caused by the explosion of the magazines. Grand Duke Cyril, who was on the upper bridge, was blown some distance by the force of the explosion. Owing to his skill as a swimmer the Grand Duke was able to remain a long time above water, refusing to be rescued until the weaker were saved. A maj ority of the survivors were burned. Captain Jakovieff, the commander, sustained a number of wounds and had several ribs broken. He has regained consciousness and there is hope that lie may live. The remains which were recovered W6re buried April K> with full mili tary honors. They included the bodies of Commander Vaslieff, Lieutenants Kronova. Bourchek and Akwnoff, Dr. Dolkivich and those of twelve sailors. Soyder County Veterans Angry. A special from Middleburg says that the county commissioners and Grand Army Post of Snyder county met in joint session last Saturday to select site for the soldiers' monument aud parted with the Grand Army all on one side and the commissioners all on the other. The latter want the monu ment in front of the courthouse and the soldiers characterized rll i- as "a scheme to immortalize the nation's heroes in connection with a jail-vard shaft."

To the AMERICANMy last communication was mailed to you at Athens lam now sending you some impressions,gathered from experiences in that city. Our ship anchored at Piraeus,five miles from Athens, where we remained for two days and a half, making frequent trips, in small sail boats, to the dock, from whence we proceeded by train to Athens, the capital aud largest city of Greece. This ancient city grew up around the Acropolis, aud contains besides the Palace aud Government Buildings, a university museum anil foreign schools for classical studies. Among the many attractions of the city ate, the Par thenon, the Erechtheum, the walls of Kimon. the Temple of Nike Apteros, Theatre of Diouysius.Temple of Zeus Olympus, Gate of Hadrian, Mars Hill, Athenian House of Assembly and Stad ium, which is being renewed and will seat 50,000 people. Old Athens, where the Apostle Paul walked and talked and did his mighty works in the name of God, whom he loved aud faithfully served is an in teresting place. Here we are in the presence of ruins so vast and of such magnificence, that we are greatly im pressed with the thought of the scholar ship, eloquence and heroism of the great statesmen, orators, poets, writ ers and men of brain and brawn who lived and thought and worked in days long since gone. The architectural beauty of the buildings, which stand in ruins, is something beyond descrip tion. Great marble columns, eight feet in diameter, with euough of the cornice left to suggest their original grandeur, symmetry, stand as silent monuments of the conception of beauty, grace and refinement that was in the minds of the Athenians of old. For descriptions of the many places of in terest in Athens,l must refer the read er to books containing a more satis factory account than it would be possi ble to give from so brief a visit as was made by the writer. I atn glad to have had the pleasure and privilege of see ing with ray own eyes theso historic things and places. The days spent in modern Athens were most delightful—the weather be ing warm aud pleasant. The harbor at Piraeus, where our vessel anchored, is a beautiful place and was tilled with sailing vessels, men of war, and boats of everv description—a veritable net work of masts aud sails and flags of all nations were seen on every side, forming a picture that was delightful to the eye. As usual we were not long in the harbor before our vessel was surrounded by the residents of Piraeus, who came in boats offering their wares for sale. They consisted of articles made in aud about Athens, many of which were bought for souvenirs. Modern Atheus is a beautiful city ' and pleasantly located. Many of the streets are broad aud the sidewalks of proper width; but. as a rule, the streets aud sidewalks are narrow. Marble is used extensively, and there are some beautiful buildings,built en tirely of marble. The stores, bazaars, hotels, aud markets, are, in most re spects like other places, except that the wares ottered for sale in some cases are products of the place. There aie telephones and electric lights and street cars, which are drawn by three horses, hitched abreast. Horses and donkeys are the burden bearers. We did not see any oxen here. We were conveyed by rail from Pireaus to Athens and were given a drive of an entire day around the city to visit the many places of interest, which proved a most pleasant aud profitable experi ence. Lunch at the best hotels was provided for our entiie party, both days of the visit, at the expense ol Committee of Arrangements. The city is surrounded by high mountains and the valleys though not especially verdant, are beautiful for situatiou. Being the Capital city and the residence of the King, there are a great many soldiers in Athens. There are also some Egyptians and many peasants, who come in from the sur rounding country. A visit to the King's Palace and the Royal Gardeus, also to the Greek chorches,market places,public squares, National Museum and principal thoroughfares, gave us an idea of the people aud their customs. In our rounds of sight-seeing we met a num ber of Americans, one of whom (a Greek) had served three years in the civil war, and is now receiving a pen sion from Uncle Sam. We witnessed a Greek funeral pass ing through the streets, which was a novel and sad sight. The body of a young girl, lying in a coffin, borne by men. followed by the priests aud the mourners on foot. The hearse was empty, as were also the carriages; these would be occupied by the mourn ers aud friends returning from the grave. The corpse was arrayed 111 a rich gown and exposed to view,as the pall-bearers marched through the prin cipal thoroughfares to the grave. At the grave the corpse would be dressed in a shroud aud the gown taken off DIZZINESS AND WEAK NERVES «D. Nothing Helped Until the Wonderful New Medicine, Cal-cura Solvent, Wit Taken. Your Money Back If It Does Not Cur*. "I very mrvh wish," writes Loretta J. Vail, of Hopewell Junction, N. V., that I might able in a few lines, without put ting myself forward, to let the people un derstand how valuable Cal-cura Solvent, the new medicine discovered by Dr. David Kennedy, is in eases of indigestion and the like ailments, which are so common among us. I suffered from a severe variety of liver complaint, with dizziness, numbness, and an exceedingly weak and excitable state of the nerves. I employed the best treatment within my reach, yet nothing really helped until I began to use Cal-cura Solvent, and that did." If your druggist does not have Cal-cura Solvent, write to the Cal-cura Company, Rondout, N.Y.; but ask your druggist lirst. $ 1.00 a bottle. Only one size. Guarantee: Your druggist will return your money if Cal-cura fails to cure, and The CaJ-cura Company will pay the drug gist. Remember, Cal-cura Solvent cures of all eases of Kidney, Bladder aud I Liver disorders. and carried back to her home. A ruan walked in trout of the funeral proces sion carrying rlie liil of the coffin,hold ing it perpendicular. The city abounds in strolling con jurors, peddlers and i ieople who make a living ou the street. Tlih Sabbath is not observed and if anything is a busier day than any of the season. Fruits, vegetables, fish,meats, and all sorts of articles are carried on tht» bucks of donkeys and sold at the doors of the poorer classes. Although the climate is not so warm as other places we visited it is still pleasant. Oranges grow in the gardens ami parks, where they can be picked as one passes by. Que of the keepers of the Royal Oar dens kindly gave us some oranges as we passed through. One of the principal events of our visit to Athens was the service held ou Mars Hill, Sunday morning, March 27th at 10 :30 o'clock. Besides oor Am erican people, there weie present two American consuls and a great throng of those living in Athens, who came oJt to the service. It was truly a great sight to witness the multitude of peo ple and horses and carriages standing about everywhere. Most of the audi ence sat 011 Mars Hill, where the ser mon was preached by the Apostle Paul, nearly two thousand years ago. Dr. John Potts, of Toronto, Canada, was the speaker and the hearts of the peo ple were thrilled, as he preached from Acts, 17 :18.the place in the new Testa ment where Paul's sermon to the Athenians is recorded. It was truly a solemn and inspiring occasion,and the Scriptures were uever made more real. There were prayers and hearty singing of hjnuis like "All Hail the Power of Jesus name" and "How Firm a Found ation,". The meeting closed with a solo bv Mr. Jacobs and the Benedic tion, after which the audience dispers ed and we went back to our ship with thoughts of Paul, of the place he preached and the glorious record of his work that he has left as a monument that will out last the great rock on which he preached. Our departure from Atheus was the most enthusiastic of any we had re ceived. There were at least fiOOO peo ple ou the wharf and lined up ou the great war vessels to wave a parting adieu, as we passed out of the harbor. There were also tug boats and all manner of sea-faring vessels which saluted us as we passed them. We waved our adieus and the ship's band played National airs. Four missionaries from Constantino ple came to Athens and are now our guests. They leceived a very pleasant greeting from all, and at our evening meeting gave an account of their work and also told us how to see Constant inople to the best advantage and with greatest profit. Our arrival at the dock in Constan ! tinople was marked by the gatheriug together of thousands of people, who tilled the streets and windows and housetops and looked at os and our ship with wonder. Here for tlie first time, we were compelled to show our before we could land. About a dozen officers and policemen, also the United States consul, came aboard and took charge of our passports, to j see if they were all right. A number of missionaries also came aboatd. Few cities present so attractive an appearance from the harbor. It, sur rounds the bay where the ships lie at anchor and is divided into three parts bv the Bosporus, with Scutari to the , right, in Asia, ami the Ooldeii Horn, j witli it-, fresh water separating Pera and Galata on the Kast from Stamboul or Constantinople proper. Turkish officers boarded our vessel far down the Dardanelles and examin ed our papers. Physicians also came aboard to inquire carefully as to our health. Finding our papers and health all right, we were permitted the free dom and protection of the city, but officers remained ou board during our stay, both as protection to uh aud to themselves. Our Consul-General, Mr. Dickin son, was one of the first on board our vessel, aud to him we are all indebted foi many kind courtesies Because of his thoughtful planuiug in advance of our arrival at Constantinople, we were all enabled to visit the Sultan's Treasury and Palace, also the Royal Museum. We visited Robert College for men, situated ou the Bosporus, about five miles from Constantinople, where a service was held and addresses made by men selected out of our party. A visit to tlu* Girls' School at Scutari, was also made by a larpe number of oar party. Upon our departing from Constan tinople, our ship sailed up the Bos porus to the Black Sea aud return,aud then onto the city of Smyrna. A bit of advice giveu to us before lauding may be of service to others and I mention it here: Ou shore, maintain your National dignity. Loud talking will do more harm than good. Do not wave the United States Flag nor hurrah for "Old Glory." In Constantinople, take no Flags. Every man will know that you are Americans. The city is full of Spies aud Detectives. Do not mention the word "Sultan" nor inquire about him. No one will molest you. Pilgrims are coming and going at ail times. Do not use the woid "Armenian" or "Macedonian," as these are just now identified with trouble with ttie Gov ernment. In thef >rieutal Shops, in looking at; goods, do not exclaim with ailiuira- : tion at any article, —that will mean a ! rise of 200 per cent, in the price. Of fer only about one-fourth of the price the.v ask. then turn as if togo awav. They will acme down. They think aj man an idiot who pay> the first price ottered. Do not taki'a guide with you.

We were driven over the city and v visited all the more important places, s including the ancient Watch Tower. s ; Mosque of St. Sophia,the Hippodrome, j, 5 *he Museum,the Sultan's Treasury and _ s Palace. Bazaars, etc. The largest . | bazaar, which is all under cover, con i ; tains 350 shops. It is a veritable town j under cover. Other places of interest r j were the Pigeon Mosque, where there j j are thousands of pigeons which make t their homes iu the coart of the mosque. They are regarded as sacred birds, and } no one is allowed to molest them, and 112 to kill them is an offense of the very , woist sort. To buy a little grain ami t feed them is to have good fortune ever after. The writer fed them.as did also many others who visited this mosque. To write of all the mosques and obelisks and bazaars and sarcophagi and mum mies and ancient walls and aqueducts we saw or to describe the richness and . grandeur of the Sultan's Treasure House and Palace and gardens, would j require much time and space, so we will not attempt it. There are beautiful fountains through k out the city, also large cisterns, —one j of which has under it 1001 columns to hold up its roof. There are thousands j of dogs in the city—dogs everywhere, t and it is a crime to kill them. They sleep on the sidewalks, iu the streets, t under wagons, and in all sorts of places. The streets are narrow and the city is poorly lighted. Street cars are drawn by horses and are driven so , that the men are in one part and the , women in the other. There are very few ladies seen on the streets—they go ( about in closed carriages. Men bear burdens on their backs, and some of them carry as much as a horse. The writer saw one man with two wash stands on his back and another with a large wardrobe under which he trudg ed along. The loading and unloading ' of ships is all done by men who carry burdeus in this way. Constantinople is a great city and wo could find much of interest to j write about,but we must close here in ! order to mail our letter at Smyrna. Our first news from home was receiv ed at Athens and we were sorry to | hear of the destruction wrought by t/ie flood.

A SAFE DIET RULE. > En* the Kmitllnt Anivinl of Thai Will I'reoerve Health. , How shall one determine how much food to eat? Too much mystery haa been thrown about this subject. L<et your sensations decide. It must be kept iu mind that the entire function of di gestion and assimilation is curried on ) without conscious supervision or con ) currence. It should be entirely unfelt and unknown, excepting by the feeling of blen etre which accompanies and follows Its normal accomplishment. Satiety is bad. It Implies a geneatltra of fullness In the region of the stom ach, and that means that too much food has been taken. The exact cor respondence in a healthy animal be tween the appetite and the amount of food required is extraordinary. KM a rule, the meal, unless eaten very slow ly, should cease before the appetite is entirely satisfied, because a little time Is required for the outlying organs and tissues to feel the effects of Uie food that has been Ingested. If too lfule has been taken, it Is easy enough to make It up at the next meal, and the appe tite will be only the better and the food more grateful. No one was ever sorry for having voluntarily eaten too little, while mil lions every day repent having eaten too much. It has been said that the great lesson homeopathy taught the world was this—that whereas physicians had , been in the habit of giving the patient the largest dose he could stand, they have been led to see that their purpose was better subserved by giving him the smallest dose that would produce the desired effect. And so it is with food. lnstt*d of eating, as most peo ple unfortunately do, as much as they can, they should eat the smallest amount that will keep them in good health.—ltoger S. Tracy in Century. THE MINISTER'S WIFE. •he ilu Her Trials and Sorrow*, hat Also Her Henard. The minister's wife exercises the statesmanship necessary to maintain a well ordered and cultured home on a small income—a home constantly un j der inspection by the whole parish. ] She sets a fashion In becoming dress which tones up the taste of many of her parishioners whose husbands' ln | comes are two or three times as larg« ■ as the minister's salary. She Is the i pastor and the actual head of the too numerous women's and children's or ganizations in the church, and she man ages to keep most of the jealousies of their leaders from coming to the sur face. She listens sympathetically to the confidences of the young women of the congregation, and the small wed i ding fees which occasionally fall Into her lap are meager wages for all the time and thought she has given and the teas she has served to bring about these weddings—services which her neighbors may laugh at, but which are the most delicate and valuable of all ministries when they issue In happy homes. She knows the pains, the joys and the sorrows of motherhood, and she has strengthened the courage of many a j shrinking wife faltering on the thresh old of an unknown realm. When she has closed the eyes of the darling of her heart in the last sleep she goe9 out to cheer weary watchers by sick beds and to give licr silent sympathy to mourners who will not be comfort ed. She holds her queenly way in pov erty, trial and not seldom under un kind and unjust criticism, and as she grows older a radiates from her patient face which moves discerning friends who otherwise would pity her to say, "Verily, she has her reward!"— Congregationalism She Was Too Enthaataatte.

" A GOOD THING GIYE IT_A PUSH. LI vox A CAXP, PA, APRIL 21, I»02- MOVER BROS. DEAR SIR:— 1 think that every man that has a team of horses or any stock, ought to have a bottle of Mover s White Liniment in the stable or his honse. I had a horse that stepped in a hole with his front foot, coming down the mountain with a trail of props, and fell forward and strained his shoulder blade. That it swelled so fast that we could hardly get the collar off, and in two hours his neck was swollen to all the skin would hold. We used your White Liniment freely,and in a few days he was to work again, and does not show any sigus of lameness. It worked like magic. Respectfully Yours, J. A. BARTHAST. •t * « —MANUFACTURED IJY Moyer Bros, WHOLESALE DRUGGISTS, Bloomsburg -- Pa sale t>v all dealers. Easy and Quick!
