THE WAR IN
THE FAR EAST
Until the present serious condition
of affairs at home are settled St. Pet
ersburg can not devote much attention
to the Far East conflict. In sending
fresh levies and supplies. It is quite
possible that if a decided change does
not soon take place, in ameliorating
conditions at home and the bringing
about a better feeling between the
people and government,the latter may
be forced to make or bring about peace
overtures with Japan. Affairs at the
capital, if the news reaches the Rus
sian troops in Manchuria, must be de- |
pressing and disheartening, while it
could not help but spur on the Jap
anese government and army and navy
to fresh endeavor.
The Far East war is overshadowed
for the moment by Russian internal
troubles. Owing to the severe WiDter
weather there is a lull, and will be
for some time doubtless, in the two
armies facing eaoh other on the Shakhe
river. When fighting does begin again
the outcome will probably be deter
mined by the relative strength of
forces ai that time, more than by any
one factor. With Knropatkin unham- |
pered iu command and with the year's ,
training of his troops, the two forces !
stand nearly on a par in courage and
leadership What will be the strength
of the two armies in the Spring? At
the battle of the Shakhe river the Rus- j
■ ians lost 60.000 men. In the three
months that have eleapsed since then
they have been reinforced by more than
enough men to make good their losses, j
but It would not be safe to plaoe the ;
army available iu the field under Kur-j
opatin at more than 250,000 to 275,000
men now. If fresh troops can be sent
ever the Siberian road at the rate of i
85,000 a month, the field army would (
not reach 500,000 men till the end of i
Julr and theu only it left undisturbed
to grow in 9ize.
Japanese reinforcements can now J
reach Liao-Yang easily in six days
from Tokio. Unless a siege of Vladi
vostok is undertaken, and there is no
military necessity for such an enter- ,
prise, the Japanese can place their en- ;
tire available strength in the field un- j
der Oyama. With the new Bystem of |
recruiting which they adopted Imme- ,
diately after Russia had seut General
Grippenberg to the front to command
a secoud army—now under Kuropatkin
as commander-in-chief —there is no
reason to doubt that Oyama can have
a force of at least 500,000 men ready
for use as soon as the proper time ar
rives, In the judgment of the general
staff, for a renewal of the offensive, j
Russia has an unlimited number of
men,but she will scaroely dare to send
out many new troops to the Far East, I
at least until her preseut internal dau- j
gers are past, and she will find more
difficulty iu getting the men to the
war, now ttiat the masses are so set
against the war.and are crying "down
with the war!" "down with the mil
itary!" 'down with the Czar I" Sou
day's ma-sacre at St Petersburg may
mark the bfginuiug of the end of the
war in the Far East.

I. MASTER'S
FINE ADDRESS
The fourth address by Secretary Will
iam D. Laumaster, on his trip to the
Holy Land, was given in the Y. M. O.
A hall Sunday afternoon to a mixed
meeting. It was the intention of the
speaker to refer to Gibraltar, Algiers
and Malta, but he found time to speak
only of Gibraltar.
Mr. Laumaster spoke in a most in
t».mating and instructive manner as
follows:
Gibraltar is known as the "British
Lion iu Stone." A glance at the map
shows Asia and Africa joined by an
Isthmus of sand, but between Europe
and Africa there is a narrow strait cut
through a mouutaiu range.
There is no better type of British
determination and aggressiveness than
this huge rock lion, maintained not on
the shores of its own domain, but at
the cross roads of the great highways
of trafflo of three great continents.
The lion's head faces Spain.
The only missionary work discover
ed was the Epwortb House,a Wesleyan
institution, having a church and Sun
day school,but probably no education
al work.
This British fortress is considered
the strongest in the world. It has gal
leries from two to three miles in length
tunneled through the solid rock, and
batteries built at all advantageous
points up to 1350 feet above the sea.
The bay and town of Gibraltar are
on the west, where the rocs slopes to
ward the ocean. The rock lies almost
exactly north and south,is three miles
long and seven miles in circumf-rence.
The southern extremity is known as
European Point. On the north it i 3
joined to Spain by a low, sandy istli
mos, across which, from east towe«t,
are two rows of sentry boxes with a
barren strip of neutral ground,perhaps
a quarter of a mile wide, between
Gibraltar is not as barren as it looks
There are patches of ground, which
are industriously tilled.
Climate is mild. In the summer very
hot.
Gibraltar is of interest from a his
torical point of view, having been in
possession of Spanish and Moors and
English and suffered from long sieges.
It is said that at present the city is
prepared with provisions and ammuni
tions to resist a siege of seven years
duration.
The population is about 26,000, made
up of Spanish, English, Portugese and
Moor*. Exclusive of the garrison,
which numbers some 5000 more.
The location is picturesque, but the
city is not particularly beautiful and
the military aspect dominates every
thing.
The streets are narrow, well paved
and clean, many of them have long
rows of steps, leading up the hill to
other streets higher up. The side
walks are only a foot auda half wide.
Beggars are numerous and persist
ent
It is estimated that 10,000 laborers
come to Gibraltar trom the Spanish
lines daily to work at the docks and
other places. These are all searched
in the most rigid way by the author
ities to prevent them catrying goods
in or out their countrv. Very frequent
ly they are oompel>d to remove their
coat-",«ho -sand stockings iu the search
ing process.
There are always to be seen in th-*
harbor at Gibraltar, many ships from
many natious. At the time of our vis
it the German Empreor was a visitor
to Gibraltar.
The American Consul at Gibraltar,
Mr. Sprague, was most courteous to
the American tourists, and our vi-it
seemed to be an important event, as
the people were out iu great numbers.
No one goes ashore there without
military passport, and those who do,
are permitted to remain only till even
ing gan fire.
loarlstg are shown the galleries and
gnns, always accompanied by military
escort from start to finish of trip
No oameras are allowed hence no
pictures can be taken of the fortifica
tions.
The shops are small, and ir is not a
good place to buy souvt nirs. as netter
bargains can be secured at other i lac< s
nearer to the home of the Oriental
The market is a busy, aud not un
inviting plaoe where produce of all
kinds, chickens, turkeya, meat, egg*,
fruits, etc., are sold.
Water is obtained from the roofs of
houses for drinking purposes during
the rainy season.
Visiting the stores was an interest
ing diversion,al-o a lunch in a Spainsh
restaurant, where things were served
in great quantities, but was a long
time in being served
As at other places,the native merch
ants came on board our ship with their
wares and offered them for sale
It was here we left the young man
who was so home-sick that he had to
be seut home by a returning steamer.
We also left behind the young man
sick with appendicitis.
Milk, carried in cans, putin bags
made of bullrusli and thrown over the
backs of donkeys is sold on the streets
and at the homes of the people.
The costumes of the people vary from
the common-place dress of the trades
man to the rich and flowing robe 9 of
the stock ingless Moors.
The soldiers are dressed iu bright col
ors, red and bloe and gold; the bare
kneed Highlander is also seen here
I and there, about the city.
Between the city of Gibraltar and
the adjacent Spanish town of Linia
there is a constant procession ot don
keys. wagons and pedestrians, going
and coming. The majority of the peo
ple are poor, ignorant and supersti
tious. This is particularly tiue of
those living in the Spanish settlement
o! Linia, where the residences are
squalid and poor.
In the great crowds of people pass
ing to and fro, we noticed a man with
a sign on his breast and back which
read, "I am walking around the
World." In his hand he held a box
which suggested that he was s • k i g
aid To assist him in walking round the
world.
A ride from Gibraltar to Linia and
through the city and many pleasant
experiences with boys aud girls, who
desired to be of service iu showing as
around, gave ns a pleasant diversion.
On the whole, we were pleased with
our visit to Gibraltar, and are glad
that Britain has the place. Under
England's rule are cleanliness, en
lightenment and good order. Let Eng
land keep Gibraltar as long as she can
afford it. Plymouth Rock is good
euough for us.
Gibraltar h»s excellent sihools,
but the popular institution of Linia is
the bull ring.
We were shown through one of the
churches of Gibraltar, which was a
magnificent building, where wo sat
down to rest and pray silently, and
observe the beautiful decorations and
line fresco work. Many devoted ones
were coining and giing, and we were
kindly and courteously by the young
man who showed u« through the splen
did edifice.
A pleasant interview with a mis
sionary who was selling Bible-* an<l re
ligious literature from a stand on one
of the street corner*, was fruitful of
good results.

Big Fire at Wilkesbarre.
A disastroos fi«e, which for a time
threatened the business section of the
city of Wilkesbarre started at 10:45
Sunday night and damaged the store
aud stork of Simou Long's Sons to the
extent of |BO,OOO. This was the most
disastrous fire Wilkesbarre has had in
years, although it might have been
more serious.
The (ire is said to have originated
on the third flc r of the bcildiug, be
ing three stories high. It looks much
higher owing to the manner in which
the glass front is fixe I. The exact
cause of the fire is not known but as
the store is heavily %vired with electric
light wires it is believed that this was
the cause, although no defect could be
found in the wiring.

"The ninister's Sweethearts."
The scenes of "Tue Minister's Sweet

which will appear at the Opera House
Saturday night are laid in a small
town in Southern Indiana, and the
characters are such as one finds in
such places. The principal role which
is played by Miss Bessie Clifton, is a
gawky, awkward, country girl. Some
of the other characters aro the country
store keeper and his gossiping wife,
the up-to date young minister who is
engaged as pastor, but who is not al
lowed to be installed on account of his
broad-minded views, the richest man
in town and his (laughter, who is in
love with the minister,the aunt of the
preacher who has a secret of her own.
the old town marshal, the smart boy,
Old Hoke, the oldest man in town.the
deputy sheritY, Lucky Jim the tramp.
It is a story of country life, qaaiut
characters, keen satire and a view of
delightful sentiment. The special
scenery for the production is one of
the principal features. Piays of this
class always give satisfaction.

IN HANGINGS
Mr. Troxoll, of Lycoming,is the au
thor of a bill introduced in the House
Tuesday, providing that all hanging
after June 13th, 1905. must take place ■
in the Eastern and Western penitentia
ries. The exact time for the execution
is fixed by the warden of the prison.
The week in which the hanging is to
occur mu-t begin not less than four
weeks nor more than eight we ks af
ter the sentence. No announcement of
the day or hour is to be made. With
in sixteen days after the Governor is
sues his warrant the prisoner must he
removed to the penitentiary, where he
will be kept in solitary confinement
until tlie day of the execution.
Where there is reasou to believe that
the condemned is insane, the Sheriff
of the county where the criiue is com
mitted, with the concurrence of the
county court or a justice ot the Su- .
preme Court, can impanel a jury of
twelve men to inquire into the sanity
of the prisoner, if the prisoner is tie
clared to be insane, the Sheriff must
suspend tlie execution until the Gov
ernor act*.
The hill does not permit the presence
of newspaper men at executions. Those i
in attendance are limited to a Justice J

Superior Court, District Attorney and
Sheriff iu the county where the con
viction was had, a physician, twelve
reputable citizens of lull age,two min

Unless the body is claimed by rela
tives, it shall be immediately buried

ent quantity of quick-lime to consume
the corpse. No religious services shall
be held over the remains, except with
in the walls of the prison where the
execution took place, and then only in
the presence of the officers of the pri
son. The immediate family of the con
demned is admitted to the services.
If the warden violates this provision
of the act,he is guilty of a misdemean
or. If the warden, through illness or
other sufficient cause,is unable to con
duct the execution, the head keeper
will officiate. The county sending the
condemned to the prison shall pay $25
to cover the cost of the execution.

HALLER WAS POLITE.
A Story of Ibr Pamam S»lm Scien
tial and HIM Elrrtlon.
Ilaller, a famous Swiss scientist of
the eighteenth century, was once well
rewarded for his politeness to a fellow
traveler. Some scientists find it hard
to take an Interest In anything except
their own specialties. It was not so
with Haller. His fellow traveler was
n good woman from Berne. The con
versation fell naturally upon the com
modity for which Berne is noted
cakes.
The Berne dame said with pride that
jhe could make fourteen kinds of
takes.
What was her surprise and delight
When Ilaller asked her how she made
them I She eagerly began a recital,
with copious explanations, of those
fourteen recipes, and she had a good
listener.
Perhaps Ha ller regretted his rash
question, but he dirt not show It. He
listened patiently ami smilingly to the
end, and he and the Bernese woman
parted very good friends, though he
had hardly spoken a word. It Is safe
to Bay that lu all his scientific re
searches be had not learned so much
alK>ut the combination of butter and
sugar and eggs.
Some time afterward lie was elected
to an important political office. From
some quarters he received an unex
pee ted number of votes. I hen lie
found out that his Bernese eakeraaking
friend had been so impressed with the
Intelligence and ability of her fellow
traveler that when she heard he was
running 112 >r office she gave her rela
tives. friends and acquaintances no
peace of mind until she had secured
their promise to vote for him.

If you know just about how far you

driver throws up his eyes In horror.
He calls upon the saints to witness
that so ridiculous a price must be dou

You are not deceived. You walk on.
And before you have gone ten paces

But If you are driving to a destina

The canary is always regarded as a
small eater, just as the pig is notorious
for Its gluttony. People with small ap
petites are often twitted for not eating
more than enough to feed a canary,
and this led a man who wa« a tiny eat
or to watch the yellow bird and report.
He found that a canary that weighed
"47 grains ate just thirty-two times its
own weight inn month; that is, it ate
rather more than its own weight on an
average every day. Anyone who watch
es the little bird will notice that it is al
ways eating. Now. says the investiga
tor, a pig doesn't eat Its own weight ev
ery day, glutton as it is. Hence he
thinks thai the canary deserves to be
classed as a little pig.—London An
