The fifth week of the Japanese
Tlusso war has closed, and yet there
has been no decisive land battles.
During the week a naval battle took
place near Port Arthur. One vessel
was sunk on each side, and there
must have been considerable loss uf
life. This was followed by a severe
bombardment of the harbor in
which there was some loss of life, two
women in the town being among the
victims. Japanese troops arc report
ed at various points west of the
Yalu, and the Russian forces are be
ing held at Iiarhin to meet the en
emy. In Korea there has not been
the expected battle, but small >kir- i

St. Louis, according to figures
quoted by Rev. Mr. Stephan of that
city, leads all other cities in the
country in the number of suicides,
proportioned to the population. Mr.
Stephan, in investigating the cause,
made a study of 100 eases of
suicide in the city. Of these, 39
per cent were due to family and love
affairs, 41 per e-mt to immorality,
due to ill health and the balance
to despondency and other causes.

Mark Dunn, under sentence for
murder at St. Joseph, Mo., made a
sensational escape from jail after
the death watch had been set. In
some mysterious manner a tin can,
supposed to contain food, which
had a false bottom, was smuggled
to Dunn, it is believed through
some other prisoner. In this can
was a revolver, and feigning illness,
the condemned man caught the
three guard unawares. He compelled
them to enter a steel cage, which lie
locked, and warned them to remain
quiet under penalty of death, stat
ing that lie was going to wait in the
jail corridor until the sheriffs’ ar
rival, kill him and then make his
escape. Taking the desperate man
at his word, the guards obeyed and
Dunn got a good start of the offi
cers. He was captured, however,
two days later at the home of his
brother-in-law, and executed. The
fact that Dunn was probably on his
deathbed from pneumonia prevent
ed him from killing several officers,
as he had declared he would never
be taken alive.

The l nited States supreme court
has handed down a decision in the
famous Northern Securities merg
er case, holding that the merger is
illegal. The opinion of the court
was -handed down by Justice Har
lan, and it upheld the decree of th -
circuit court l'or the district of
Minnesota in every particular.
Four of the justices dissented from
the live constituting the majority.
The case grew out of a combination
of the (Jreat Northern Railway
Company and the Northern Pacific
railway. In his opinion, which is
very lengthy, Justice Harlan says:
“The government charges that if
the combination was held not to be
in- violation of the act of congress,
then all efforts of the national gov
ernment fo preserve to the people
the benefit of free competition
among carriers engaged in inter
state commerce will be wholly un
availing, and all trans-continental
lines, indeed, the entire railway
systems of the country, may be ab
sorbed, merged and combined, thus
placing the public at the absolute
mercy of the holding corporation.”
For two days following the lynch
ing of a negro at Springfield, 0.,
for shooting a police officer, a per
fect reign of terror prevailed and
the local officers were unable to
keep the peace. Quiet was not re
stored until eight companies of
militia arrived on the scene. Follow
ing the lynching the colored popu
lation made some threats. The
mob then reformed, and, marching
to the levee district, applied the
torch to several buildings and the
entire cast front was consumed.
The buildings burned were mostly
frame structures, occupied by sa
loons and negro lodging houses.
The mob offered no resistance to
the firemen, and some expressed
themselves as willing to assist in
extinguishing the flames should
they spread beyond the territory in
tended to be burned. The killing
of the police officer occurred in a
saloon dive, the first building fired
by the mob.
RUNS FURNITURE FACTORY
Enterprising Danish Girl Studied
Cabinet Making and Then
Launched Into the Business.
A visit to the furniture factory
of Miss Chatherine Ilorsball at
Copenhagen, Denmark, is de
scribed by Allen Monroe Foster in
the Housekeeper. Telling how
she came to enter this business.
Miss Ilorsball said:
“About the time most girls be
gin to use a needle and make doll
clothes I became possessed of the
conviction that a saw and plane
were the most desirable things in
the world. My parents at lirst
stoutly refused my daily petitions
for a tool chest, saying it would
surely be the means of my maim
ing myself for life. But, oh, how
I longed for that tool chest! What
a parasol, a doll or a fan is to oth
er girls a tool chest was to me. At
length one day my parents, upon
finding me in possession of a plane
nearly as large as myself, which I
had borrowed from a neighbor
when he wasn’t at home, decided
that, after all, toy tools might be
the less dangerous of the two, and
rejoiced my soul by presenting me
with a really handsome and prac
tical tool chest, which I received
with a burst of tears—the liappi
ness was too great. From that
moment my calling was assured.”
In the meantime we were going
through the busy factory and as
Miss Ilorsball stopped by each
workman, criticising, praising or
suggesting, it was plain that the
smallest detail of manufacture
was familiar to her.
Noticing that all the furniture
under way was of a high grade, I
inquired:
“Don’t you make any plain fur
niture?*’
“No; very little. We make
mostly all furniture from my own
designs. This is more interesting,
as well as more remunerative.’’
“Have you ever any dull sea
sons?”
“No. I a: 1 always pushed to fill
my orders and keep a respectable
amount of goods on hand in my
show rooms in the city. I am con
stantly adding new hands, but the
work always seems to keepa little
in advance. Beyond a certain
limit 1 can’t go. because there is
so much no one but myself can
do. I must buy all the lumber,
make all the designs, superintend
the construction of every piece,
give a few hours a day to my sales
rooms. The day I left school I
went to a very fine cabinetmaker
and remained with him five years;
then I was for a year in Germany
perfecting myself still further;
then—six years ago—I boldly set
up in business for myself. I had
one little room, and no help, and
my whole capital was the lumber
required to make my first piece of
furniture, but l started right in to
make a very handsome cabinet.
To my surprise, it was sold for a
good price before it was finished,
and 1 had an order for another.
From the start orders came faster
than I could do the work, so I took
an assistant, then another, then
I had to have a larger room, the
next year a much larger,and soon,
until the business grew to what
you now see.”
Leap Year Prerogatives.
How many people are aware of j
the origin of that special female
prerogative belonging to the leap
year? By an act of the Scottish
parliament passed during the
reign of Margaret, “every maid
en of both high and low degree
shall have liberty to speak to
the man she likes.” And mark
this, all ye bachelors of the year
1904: “If he refuse to take her
to be his wife he shall be mulct in
the sum of £100 or less, as his es
tate may be. except and always
if he can make it api>ear that he
is betrothed to another woman
then he shall be free.”
