Gentlemen: We have, as vou are doubtless already aware. innumerable correspondents and artists every where in Japan. Corea. Manchuria and in fact. throughout the Orient. They have been engaged and equipped at enormous expense. and every man is the expertest expert in the business. .-s an example of the thoroughness with which we have covered the griund we may mention that. in vieW of the probability that the Japanese will try to destroy the Siberiaii rail road. we have strung men out at in tervals of half a mile from Glas cow to Vladivostok and Port. Ar thur. and doublee them at every bridge and culvert. Furthermore we are alo-it to secure the exclusive ser v:- of Marconi and Santos-Dumont.

March 10. (Special to the Make News Quick . Syndicate.) 1 -think something important hap penced yesterday. but I don't know what or where. Seoul. March 18. (Special to the Make News Quick Syndicate.) (Delayed in Transmission.) I saw a cat running rapidly toward the Yalu river this morning. She had evidently been frightened by the Japanese advance. and a decisive land battle is predicted for the near future. Vladivostok, April I. (Special to the Make News. Quick Syndicate.) The Russian fleet steamed out of the harbor this morning. It was a grim but glorious sight. The vessels were all cleared for action, and I could distinctly see the admiral on the bridge of his flag ship. A great navai engagement is .doubtless in progress at this moment. Vladivostok, April 2. (Special to the Make 'News Quick Syndicate.) The report that the Russian squad ron left this port yesterday proves to be erroneous. It is now said there ar no Russian ships in these waters. Liao Yang, April 5 (Special to the Make News Quick -Syndicate.) By combined operations .of the land and naval forces the Japanese have captured Port Arthur after des perate fighting. This practically ends the war. Liao Yang. April 6. (Special to the Make News Quick Syndicate.) The Russians have no fear for the safety of Port Arthur. The war will probable. continue for an indefinite time. After carefully consulting a spirit thermometeer I am enabled to say it is very cold here, and the conditions are generally unfavorable for operations on a large scale. Port Arthur, April 13. (Special to the Make News Quick Syndicate.) The Petropavlovsk was blown up this morning. She was the last of the Russian torpedo boats, and Admiral Makaroff feels very sore. Later.-I have just ascertained that the Petropavlovsk was a bate phi" and that Admiral Makaroff was killed. consequently he doesn't feel sore. It is presumably the czar who feels sore. I had engaged Tolstoi, who was on board, to furnish me with a sensational account of the battle,, but I hear he went down with the ship. Latest.-It wasn't Tolsoi who went down with the ship, but the painter Verestchagin. Otherwise he would have taken sna.shots of the scene ex pressly for rue.

A Lancaster (Mo) correspondent of the Kansas City Journal says: F:,r thirty-twl years Pr,)f. DaviuI Jones. a district school teacher liv ing a few miles from here, has been goIng around with a spelling chip on his shoulder. begging anthit.g that talks Engli-h and walks on two legs ti come along and knock it off. In that period nve or six spellers have in vaded Lancaster with blood in their eves and dictionaries under their arne. They left town with the explana tion that they were iit of practice. (r grinwling at the pri-notuncer. In c, Insequence of which Prof. Jone cl Ises his letters with the inscription: "The greatest English speller the world has pro'duced." In 1875. Prof. Jones had a spelling bout with a learned doctor of the Uni versity of Kansas. At the end of fo.ur hours the lissouri spelling Go liath won. He had missed only four teen words to Jayhawker's seventeen. The match was close enough to be decidedly interesting, and Prof. Jones' championship belt was in greater dan ger than on any other occasion dur ing the third of a century he has c!aimed it as his own. In 1884. Mr. Triplett. the champion speller of Benton county. Mo.. came to Lancaster to have a go at Prof. Jones. but he was easy. He carried home an unabridged dictionary with the words he missed encircled with blue pencil marks. a delicate sugges ti;n from his rival. At a church entertainment last win ter. Prof. Jones spelled corectly 15 ooo words. For several years Prof. Jones has been trying to get the best spellers of the state to organize like news paper men. bankers and other crafts men. but the spellers seem to be backward about taking hold of the matter. Prof. Jones argues that printers. stenegraphers and all those having to do with words owe it to their employes to perfect themselves in spelling. and as the art is rarely acquired in school, he thinks an as sociation for the object of acquiring proficiency in orthography by the workers with pen and paper shoula be encouraged. "I am acquainted with a very pleas ant young lady who aspires to be a stenographer." said Prof. Jones. re cently. -I asked her the important question in her line of work. 'Oh. my spelling never bothers me,' she said lightly. In truth it didn't-it was her employer who suffered." The philosophy of spelling, Prof. Jones sums tup as follows: "Spelling~ is not mastered in 'twelve easy les sons.' and he wvho wotuld walk with the elect mutst sacrifice hours to stutdy. as in other things worth knowing. Good spelling is an evidence of cul ture. Did you ever hear of a per son who can properly spell and define words that range out of the ordinary. use slang or incorrect expressions? To spell well also implies the abil itv to talk well. Some accuse me of egotism about my spelling. Perhaps they are right, but most people are proud of something or other. and I'm thankful for my gift just as othei men are of their powers of oratory or ability to break down the other side's center in football." The ticket seller in one of Philadel phia's theatres tells this on himself. The other night he refused a ticket to a man who was somewhat intoxi cated. "What's matter?" asked the appli cant. "Well, if you really want to know. you'r drunk." said the other. The would be play-goer gathered up his money with dignity. "Of course I'm drunk." he said cheerfully. "I wouldn't come here to see this play if I were sober, would I?"-Ex.

Pneumonia is'- too dangerous disease for any one to attempt to doctor him self. although he may have the proper remedies at hand. A physician should~ always be called.
