The children recovered and the Sisters of M^cy were then forced to place the children, for a hospital was not tbe home for them. A number of charitable women cared for the little ones and arranged for their return to Charleston upon Bev. A E. Cornish consenting tc receive the children at his institute on the island. Benton is said to have gone to Florida. When tbe children entered the St. Joseph's hospital they had not heard of Gad and knew nothing about Christmas or Thanksgiving, their early Christian education having been much neglected.

A Half Southerner Saddened Rather Than Angry by Attacks from the South. Wa&hiDgton, Nov. 18?Col. John S. Mosby received a few days ago, a letter from Judge Iimlhac, of Birmingham, Ala, commenting on the attitude of the southern people toward the President personally. Col. Mosby sent lhe letter to Oyster Bay as be thought the sentiments expressed in it by a Confederate veteran would be gratifying to the President. He received a reply which be did not publish during the 'campaign as he felt that the President's motives in writiog the letter would be misconstrued. The letter is as follows: "Oyster Bay, N Y., Sept. 10,1904 (Personal) "My Dear Col. Mosby: "That is a fine letter cf Roolbac's and I appreciate it I have always been saddened rather than angered by the attacks upon me in the South. I am half a Southerner myself; and I can say with all possible sincerity that the interests of the South are exactly as dear to me as the interests of the North."

Denver, Col, N -v. 17 ?N >tic'8 have beeo postfd at five b'g mines in the Telluride region that eight hour rule will prevail in the mines.

At one time the Western Federation of Miners.offered to accept $2 75 It is understood that no discrimination will be made against the employment of union men. Russian Arsenal Destroyed. Tokio, Nov 18?A telegram from Moji reports the destruction of another Russian arsenal and magazine at Port Arthur. The Japanese discovered, it is said, the location or the arsenal and centered their artillery fire upon it. After dropping 200 shells in the locality they succeeded in blowing ifc up. The Japanese are widening their saps and are usiDg them to mov9 their guns forward. The Russians continue their spirited sorties, u?iog hand grenades in their attacks upon the saps.

I am entirely in the hands of the press and the people. Any white man they may choose I will fight on six weeks notice. Uoless this is done before a great while I will retire from the ring and be t?e only retired champion." The Sparrow Nuisance. Country Gentleman. Here in Kentucky, where we have good whiskey, we have tried with entire success the following plan: We take a small quantity of wheat, kaffir corn (white) or hemp seed and soak in whiskey for 12 or 18 hour*; then spread the seed out on some shed roof, and let the birds come and celebrate. la a few minutes they have more on board than tbey can carry, and tumble to the ground, where anyone can kill them. If any song bird gets the soaked grain and falls, you can simply lay him on a shelf out of the way of Mr. Thomas de Cat until he sorter sobers up, so that be can find the way home. Japanese Were Repulsed. St. Petersburg, Nov. 18.?A dispatch from Lieut. Gen. SakDaroif dated today says that during the night the Japanese attacked the Russian position in front of Po'uliloff bill but were repulsed. i The trees of Finland are the money j I bags of the people.
