FIERCE ATTACK
riADE BY JAPANESE
ON PORT ARTHUR
OHE FOO. Aug. 3.-11 a. in —A
desperate three days' asNanlt ou the
inner defenses ou tho northern and
the eastern sides of Port Arthur has
failed, aocording to advices brought
by two Juuks which arrived here to
day.
A Russian who esoaped from Port
Arthur, via Pigeon Bay, ou the night
of July 49, statds that the eartti trem
bled under the terrific cannonading
whioh began at 4 a. ni , July 20, and
ended during the night ot July 28,
When the battle ceased. A Chinese,
who has arrived here on a separate
Junk, oonflrius the Russian's statement
that the Russian killed and wounded
daring the assault numbered between
five and six thoasand.
The Japanese in their repeated as
saults against the eastern forts on tho
hilla, through harbed wire entangle
ments and over mines, displayed fan
atical bravery. They were mowed
dowu by the hail of shells and bullets
and the explosion of mines under their
feet.
Their losses are estimated at 20,000.
The Russian declares that the Rus
sians held all the eastern forts lead
ing to Goldeu Hill and that the Jap
anese, shattered and exhausted, retir
ed to the eastward.
As related by the passengers ftotu the
two Junks,the Japanese advance, which
began from Kwokau before daybreak
July 26, was directed against Kikiwan,
Kintkuln, Kinjkisha aud Piehtonshan
forts lying near shore. The Russian
outposts were driven back. In the
meantime Admiral Togo shelled the
forta at long range but the return fire
of the forts kept his ships at a safe
distance, rendering the co-operation of
the fleet ineffective.
On the morning of July 27 the Rus
sian fleet steamed out, keeping under
lb* protection of the Golden Hill guns.
The Russian vessels did not fire up
on the Japanese, but returned to their
anohorage.
The assault ou the northern side of
the olty occurred July 27. The Jap
anese left at Hsikau advanced on the
Russians at Shnishi Ying, but were
repulsed.
The Junks were withiu hearing dis
tanoe tor three days after leaviug, but
BO more firing was heard.
The Russian hospitals are said to be
swamped. Thousands of wouuded are
lying in houses and shops of the
Chinese,the owners having been evict
ed, with the exoeption of one who acts
as caretaker of each place. Medical
attention is adequate.
ASSASSIN HAS
PARTLY CONFESSED
BT. PETERSBURG, July 3.—The
assassin of Minister of the Interior M.
Von Plehve is said to have made a
partial confession, iu which he declar
ed that for a long time he was a

tie blamed the dead minister.
Me still absolutely refuses to dis
oioee tils name. A watch is kept on
blm day and night, uot only in order
to prevent his doing himself bodily
barm, but iu the belief that he may
betray himself lu his sleep. Thus tar
be has only muttered two words in
sleep—endearing diminutives for Peter
aod Natalie, probably the names of a
comrade and sweetheart.
The police have discovered that a
third accomplice was concerned iu the
murder plot and that tie was stationed
on a quay on the Neva, where one of
the imperial yachts was moored on
the obanoe that ttie minister might go
to Peterhoff that day by boat

beautiful home at Sixtoouth and Mer
idian streets in the presence of mem
bers of the notification committee,
consisting of ono member from each

these had been especially invited.
BELLEFONTE PRIS
ONERS RECAPTURED
One Admits he Killed Turnkey—Four of
the Prisoners Recaptured.
Four ot the five men who escaped
from the prison at Bellefonte last Fri
day eveniug have been captured. Re
fore securing their freedom the pris
oners beat Jerry Condo, a turnkey, so
severely that he died on Sunday.
Three of the fugitives were captur
ed late Tuesday afternoon on the Krid
er farm, near Lock Haven. They were
taken into custody by O. A. Harvey,
Horace Stiver, Elmer Flanigan and
two young men named Dresham aud
Daubermau. They were conveyed to
the Clinton county jail ou a street car
by the captors, who were armed with
rifles.
After reaching the jail Ira Green,
one of the prisoners confessed to
Sheriff S. Torrence Shearer that they
were the three men wanted. Their
names are William Dillon, George
Henderson and Ira Green. The men
made no resistance when captured.
An Italian, who was arrested by
Pennsylvania Railroad Detective C.
D. Bcgle for riding on a freight traiu
near Bedford, has made a confession
since being in jail at Bedford aud
says he is Dominic Constance, one of
the five men who broke jail in Bel
lefonte ou Friday. Constance says he
is the man who struck Condo, us
ing an iron bar for the purpose.
After making tho escape the men
separated and Constance says he
has spent tho time in the Broad
Top coal region in Bedford county,
but thinking that he was too near the
scene of his trouble for safety he was
trying to reach a safer place when ar
rested. Having no money he was beat
ing his way on freight trains.
Large posses of armed men had been
searching for the escaped prisoners
since Friday. On Saturday all the
members ot the Bellefonte company of
the National Guard were made deputy
sheriffs and they assisted in the search
May Pay Dearly for His Fun.
Some person is laying up a great
deal of trouble for himself by strew
ing matches at night over portions of
Mill street where tho biggest crowds
of pedestrians pass. Tho matches us
ed are of the kind known as tho "par
lor match," which when trodden up
on ignite with a sharp report.
Those who tread upon tne matches
unless blessed with stout nerves are
apt to receive something of a shock,
while in tho case of ladies there is
much danger ot the clothing taking
fire.
Nearly half a box of these matches,
the most of which had been trodden
upon, were found sprinkled over one
spot on Mill street the other moruing
It is hoped the fellow who placed
them there enjoyed the little scenes
which followed, as his fun is likely
to be of short duration. The police
have taken measures to break up the
practice and the offender if caught
will pay very dearly.
Merry Go Round.
A merry-go-round installed at Wash
ingtonville for a few days past has
been doing a land office business. It
is a novelty iu the way of sport that
the juveuiles of that borough seldom

make the most of it. The hobby horses,
which were formerly iu commission at

next Monday.

BOTH SIDES
NOW CLAIM VICTORY
IN MEAT STRIKE
CHICAGO, August ;{. _ Notwith
standing the claim of the paoking
houso managers that they have no
difficulty in securing workmen they
are said to bo making very strong ef
forts to induce their former employes
to return to work. The latest move
made in that line is the distribution
of cards among the wives of the strik
ers urging tliem to induce their hus
bands to return to the packing plants
and offering increased pay.
Schwarzscliild and Sulzeberger notifi
ed the county officials that they coulri
not make the usual weekly delivery of
meat according to contract, and the
superintendent of Public Service plac
ed an order for $4,()00 worth of meat
with an independent firm.
The yards were Hooded with live
stock today. The supply so far ex
ceeded the demand that prices in some
cases dropped as much as #l. Com
plaints was rife by representatives of
country shippers.
Before the day's shipment arrived
there wore 2!>,000 hogs in the pons aud
between 2,000 and 3,000 cattle.
The packers expressed the opinion
that with supplies so heavy a good
portion of the stock con Id not be
handled by the packing plants until
tomorrow. Today's receipts were as
follows: Cattle, 6,500; hogs 12,000;
sheep, 14,000.
The packers announced today that
they would attempt to import no more
unskilled labor. They said they had
all the raw men they needed and in
the future would take on only a few
skilled men. This news was declared
by tho strikers to bo a bait to them in
the liope of breaking the union ranks.

LOST COINS IN THE MAIL.
They I n IIN<> Trouble uiid Worry
to I'oatal <
Ordinarily no man IK rich enough
to escape that certain sense of elation
which comes from picking up ft nickel
on a sidewalk, hut when a railway
postal clerk llnds such a coin In a
mail pouch where it has worked out
from lnsullicient wrappings not only
does he inlns this elation, but It may
provoke profanity.
For a nickel lost in a pouch of mall
In transit becomes a matter for na
tional concern. It comes to view per
haps Just as a pouch of mall Is emp
tied upon a sorting table, and when
It lias broken away from the bunch of
letters and cards and circulars, roll
ed to an open space on the table and
there settled down, heads or tails, with
a noisy spinning dance, the clerk who
first sees It is "it."
A necromancer could have no more
idea than the man In the moon as tn
what particular package It rolled out
of, and If he had and should tell the
postal clerk the clerk wouldn't dare
try to restore the coin to the original
package. That would be too easy al
together.
No, it is a lost nickel from the mo
ment the clerk has to see It spinning
there before his eyes, and according to
the tender governmental conscience the
clerk has to get ready for the Inau
guration of about SIX 43 worth of fuss
over It.
For himself he doesn't dare togo to
bed for a short nap until he has got
rid of Ills 5 cents' worth of responsi
bility to the government for the ac
tion of the fool person from whom the
nickel was parted. He digs up hi*
printed form for such occasions print
ed and provided and at once fills out
a long blank, describing the coin, tell
ing the circumstances of Its being
found and whether it landed heads or
talis on the table, naming the pouch
from which it was emptied, the num
ber of the train carrying It, the date
and a few other details.
This report, with the nickel, goes to
the headquarters of the postal division
iu which the car was operated, and
from these bonded officials, by the
same general ml tape route, the small
coin finds its way to the seat of na
tional government and to the fund rep
resenting the great constituency of the
postotflce department, which persist*
in sending money in envelopes through
the unregistered malls of the service.—

who had not smiled at a thing that he
had said during an impromptu recep

him. All the young ladles bnt one
were in a state of great glee during the

laughed heartily at every witty re

turned to the young woman who had
not laughed and said in an undertone:

The late < 'olonel Ingersoll was talk

when the subject of wealth and the
desire of most men to accumulate
money was discussed.
"I never could understand It," said
the colonel. "Just imagine a man with
8(H),0(K) hats, 400,000 pairs of shoes,
1,000,000 pairs of gloves, 0,000,000
handkerchiefs, 200,000 pairs of SUB
penders and a train load of neckties
getting up before daylight and exert

order that he may make enough money
to buy himself another necktie!"

ANTIQUITY OF THE ROSE.
l'he Flower <■«#-» Back Beyond the
Moat Ancient Herorda.
The royal rose has a pedigree to
shame any other queen, it is so long,
BO full of enchanting turns aud twists
and so delightfully cumbered with
myth, fable and history. She Is in a
way a paradox, since, although by ap
pearance and perfume the most trop
ical of blossoms, she is yet by nativity
a flower of north temperate latitudes.
Her habitat Is bounded north and
south, roughly speaking, by the twen
tieth and the seventieth parallels. She
grows wild all over Europe, in Africa
as low as Abyssinia, In Asia to and
through India and In North America to
the edge of Mexico.
Most wild roses are single, yet Pliny
mentions double ones, among thein the
hundred leaf, and Herodotus says,
"Macedonia has gardens of Midas, with
roses of sixty petals breathing out a
delightful perfume." Whoever has
read Roman history must recall the
roses of Paestum, which bloomed
twice a year. Notwithstanding this
Rome's favorite rose was the Hundred
Leaf. It followed the eagles and the
legions wherever they went and grows
today over three parts of the Roman
world, a vital record of that old time
occupation.
Etymologlcally "rose" Is from the
Celtic rhodd or rhudd, "red," also the
root of "ruddy." The Greek name,
rhodon, has the same meaning. So
have most roso names In any language.
Botanically the flower gives name to
the great natural order rosaceae. Artl
flcially It Is classed under polygoniae,
the many angled. The wild forms
have always fleshy, urn or pitcher
shaped calyxes, twenty or more sta
mens, five petals and live sepals. The
sepals show a bit of nature's most
cunning work. Two of them are beard
ed at both edges, two without beurds
and the fifth bearded at one edge and
straight along the other. Thus they
lncloße the bud with a bearded over
lap along every seam, good to repel
moisture and to put to rout every In
trusive creeping thing.
Rose culture's beginning goes back
beyond records. The flower Is men
tioned iu the earliest Coptic manu
scripts. India's trudltlons take the
rose to the times of the gods on earth.
Egypt hud roses, wild and tame, before
the Roman occupation mude it iu a
way Home's commercial rose garden.
Yet, curiously enough, there Is no ref
erence to the flower In painting, sculp
ture or hieroglyphics. Japan In our
time parallels Egypt Roses flourish
there, but do not serve as a motif for
urtlsts. There is this further likeness
—neither Egypt nor Japan has a rose
song or a love song proper, so It may
well be that madam the rose Is aveng
ed for the slight.
The Jews, returning from the Baby
lonish captivity, took with them a
recompense of roses. Semlramls, with
the world at her feet, found her chief
joy in a bower of roses. Mohammed
turned back from Damascus after
viewing It encircled with rose gardens.
"It Is too delightful. A man can have
but one paradise," said the prophet.
Damascus lies lu the heart of Syria,
whose name some geographers derive
from serl, meaning a wild rose, and
wild roses are abundant there. The
damask roses of our gardens go back
to Damascus. They were brought
from it at the time of the crusades,
although exactly when or by whom
nobody can certainly say.—Martha Mc-
C'ulloch-Wllliums in Success.
The* Man Who Altrm ii Buafneaa.
A sunny man attracts business suc
cess. Everybody likes to deal with
agreeable, cheerful people. We in
stinctively shrink from a crabbed,
cross, contemptible character, no mat
ter how able he may be. We would
raher do a little less business or pay
rather do a little less business or pay
with an optimist.—Success.
