St. Petersburg Government
Hastens to Promise Full
Reparation for Terrible
Mistake
||. f-? ' Made.
Official news of the Russian Baltic
fleet firms on. the British fishing ves- j
sols reached Washington Monday in j
a cablegram to the state department j
from the American consul at Hull, j
England. He recited the facts as j
stated in the press dispatches and
added that great excitement prevailed
there.
The British government Monday afternoon
sent urgent notes of protest
to the Russian government on the
subject of the Russian attack on the
British fishing fleet in the North sea
I through both Arnbasador Hardinge
and the Russian arnbasador in London.
Foreign Secretary Lansdowne reach- j
: ed London Monday afternoon and af- j
ter gathering the latest details known j
at the foreign office regarding the fir- j
icg on the British fishing boats toy j
the Russian squadron, proceeded to i
Buckingham palace, where he had a i
ton^-thv interview with Kine Edward. I
I The latter telegraphed a mesage of!
'sympathy to the mayor of Hull.
After the conference, Lord Lansdowne
addressed a strong protest to
Ambasador Hardinge for presentation ;
to the Russian government. Special j
stress is laid on the callousness dis- j
- played by the Russians in not going io j
the assistance of the fishermen. Lord j
Lansdcwne asks that immediate redress
shall be made.
It is believed in government circles
that the Russian government will take
the earliest opportunity to give satisfaction.
and it appears to be expected
that Russia will explain the affair,!
adding that the Russian officers had j
reason to be lieve that there were j
mines, or ships with mines, in the
neighborhood where the fishing fleet
' was attacked.
In the absence of Count Bencken- J
dorff the Russian charge d'affairs;
called at the London foreign office j
Monday aft rnooii to express deep re- j
gret at the occurrence.
BENCKEN DORFF GUARDED.
Count Benckendorff, the Russian J
ambassador, returned to London Mon-1
day night from celebrating his silver I
wedding with bis wife's relatives in '
Silesia, and barely escaped assault j
from a crowd at th& Victoria station,!

sy. Fortunately for the issue of peace
or war, nothing resulted; yet through-J
rout Monday night a special force of;
police was compelled to guard the
Russian embassy.
Count Benckendoi ff has been al- i
.ways regarded in London official cir- j
cles as a friend of peace, and he was j
^ much opposed as was Count Lams- ;
jdorff, to the Russian-Japanese war. j
Indeed, he is almost an Anglophile in j
" sentiment. There is no doubt that i
>Count Benckendcrff's feelings were!
deeply wounded by Monday night's demonstration.

A St. Petersburg special says: At j

The authorities expressed .the hope I
that the unfortunate affair will be ad-1

TO FEDERAL COURT'Case
of Lynchers at Huntsville Goas
as Outcome of Judge Jones' Re- '
cent Charge to Grand Jury.
A Huntsville. Ala., special says:
After spending over two weeks in investigating
the lynching of Horace
Maples, as well as other violations of
the law, the United States grand jury
turned in a sensational report Monday.
Twelve indictments were returned,
several of which were against alleged
lynchers. The grandd jury recites
that the mob was repeatedly notified
that Maples, would be given a
speedy trial, that no one can believe
that the prisoner would have been
shown any favor or immunity from 1
punishment for his crime, and that if
he had not been a negro, the lynching
would never have occurred. The report
continues:
"We invoke the sense of justice, of
right, of civilization and of honor of
the people of our section that they
may see from this time forth that the
law enforced, its majesty recognized j
and sustained and mob violence and j
its sure companion, anarchy, shall be J
suppressed and punishment inflicted j
upon those who participate in it.
"Our people must stand steadfast
and firm for law and' order, for without
these there can be no security
or protection for the lil'e, character,
person or property of any of our citizens.
Few can be induced to believe
that had Maples been a white man
charged with killing a negro he would i
have been thus robbed of his life and j
deprived of a trial in the courts and j
an opportunity to dispiove the charge
made against him. The white people
of this section of the south feel that
they owe a duty to the negro race,
which has occupied and still occupies
an inferior position to theirs, and
there can be no higher or greater
from a superior to an inferior race.
"The law must be vindicated, order
maintained and an anarchy abolished
and punished. If this cannot be done
by one agency, then rational and honest
men should welcome"its accomplish
ment from any source by which pun
isbment and prevention may be lawfully
administered. Should these
crimes bring upon our people what
some may consider as outside tribunals
to those made exclusively by the
state, the chief blame will be due to
the failure of our own people to respect
the law and those who violate
it.'
Judge Thomas Jones, in discharging
the grand jury, delivered an eloquent
tribute to the jury and said that in after
years the people would rise lip and
bless the memory of the jurors who
had made so fearless and so patriotic
a report. He said he did not care for
the slings and arrows of those who
are false leaders of the people, that
no man who enjoyed the consciousness
of doing his duty ever did. He
knew that he was right and was willing
to allow the honest judgment of
eighty-five millions of people to pass
upon the righteousness and the findings
of the grand jury.
SUES FOR HALF THE TOWN.
Misouri Woman Claims City Property
in Augusta, Ga.
Mrs. Will Martin, of Independence.
Mo., threatens to enter suit for about
one-half of Augusta. Ga.
If her claims should be allowed by
the courts she would get all that por- I
tion of the city west of Cumming |
street and from the river to the city
limits south.
Mrs. Martin states that the present
owners of the land have no good titles.
On the other hand, real estate
men say her claim will be futile, as
the titles in the locality described are
gilt edge.

The Creator made all things, we be
iieve.
If so, He must havejnade these.
We know what He made food afcd
1 water for, aud air amj/suiisbinfe, but
j why Whisky, Tobacco and Coffee?
i They are iiere sure enough and each
j performing its work.
{ There must be some great 1)1 an beJ
hind it all; the thoughtful man seeks
j to understand something of that plan
1 and thereby to judge these articles for
their true worth.
| Let us net say "bad" or "good" withi
out taking testimony. *
| There are times and conditions when
I it certainly seems to the casual observi
er that these stimulant narcotics are
j real blessings.
| Right there is the ambush that con'
ceals a "killing" enemy,
j One can slip into the habit of either
| whisky, tobacco or coffee easy enough,
j but to "untangle" is often a fearful
! struggle.
lr seems piuiu mar mere are circumstances
when the narcotic effect of
j these poisons .is for the mojDJcnt benej
liciai, hut the fearful argument against
i them is that seldom ever does one find
I'a steady user .of. either..whisky, cofj
fee or tobacco free .from disease of
j some kind. ..
Certainly powerful elements in their
; effect on the human race/ .
|- It is a matter of daily history testei
fled to by literally millions of people,
that Whisky, Tobacvo and Coffee are
smiling, promising, beguiling friends
on the start, but always false as hell
itself in the end. once tney get nrm
noiu enough to show their strength,
they insist upon governing and drive
the victim steadily towards ill health
In some form; if permitted to continue
| to rule, they will not let up until phyi
sical and mental ruin nets in.
A man under that spell (and "under
the spell" is correct), of any one of
these drugs, frequently assures himself
and his friends, "Why, I can leave
off any time I want to. I did quit for
a week just to show I could." It is a
sure mark of the slave when one gets
To mat stage. Jtie wjggiea tnrougn a
week flghtiug every day to break the
spell, was finally whipped, and began
his slavery all over again.
The slave (Coffee slave as well as
Tobacco and Whisky) daily reviews his
condition, sees perfectly- plain the
stead}* encroachments of disease, how
the nerves get weaker day by day and
demand the drug that seems to smile
and offer relief for a few minutes and
then leave the diseased condition
plainer to view than ever and growing
worse. Many times the Coffee
slave rea-lizes that he is between two
fires. He feels bad if he leaves off,
and a little worse if he drinks and allows
the effect to wear off.
So it goes 011 rroui ua} to day. Every
night the struggling v.ctim promises
himself that he will break the habit
and next day when lie feels a little
bad (as he ip quite sure to), breaks,
not the habit,' but his c wn resolution.
It is nearly always a lo igh fight, with
disaster ahead sure if ihe habit wins.
There have been hundreds of thousands
of people driven 'o their graves
through disease brought on by coffee
drinking alone, and it is quite certain
that more human misery is caused l>y
coffee and tobacco than by whisky, for
the two first are more widely used,
and more hidden and insidious in tbT?
effect on nerves, heart and other vital
organs, and are thus unsuspected until
much of the dangerous work is
{lone. ' '
Now. Reader, what is your opinion
as to the real use the Creator has for
these things? Take a look at the question
from this point of view.
There is a law of Nature and of Nature's
God that things slowly evolve
from lower planes to higher, a sturdy,
steady and dignified advance toward
more perfect things in both the Physical
and Spiritual world. The ponderous
tread of evolutionary deveiop

not bo quickened out of natural law
by any of man's methods.
Therefore we seo many ilustrations
showing how nature checks too rapid
advance. Illinois raises phenomenal
crops of corn for two or three years.
If she continued to do so every year
her farmers would advance in wealth
far beyond those of other sections or
countries. So Nature interposes a bar
every three or four years and brings
on a "bad year."
Here wc see the leveling influence
at work.
A man is prosperous in his business
for a number of years and grows rich.
Then Nature sets the "leveling influence"
at work on liiin. Some of his
investments lose, he becomes luxurious
and lazy. Perhaps it is whisky, tobacco.
coffee, women, gambling, or
some other form. The intent and purpose
is to level him. Keep him from
evolving too far ahead of the masses.
A nation becomes prosperous and
great like ancient Home, n no leveling
influence set in she would dominate
the world perhaps for all time. But
Dame Nature sets her army of "Ievelers"
at work. Luxury, over eating and
drinking, licentiousness, waste and extravagance,
indulgences of all kinds,
then comes the wreck. Sure, Sure,

Baby's Diagnosis.
Seated 011 a bench in Central Park, !
j a nurse girl was gently moving to ;
i and fro a. perambulator in which was j
| a baby of about fifteen months. At
| the other end of the bench was a
i man whose prominent lower jaw was
i adornedv with a luxuriant beard,
j which parted in the middle and curv!
ed gracefully outward and upward.
I For several minutes the baby re1
garded the man and especially the ,
i whiskers with grave attention, while
' he looked at her with an air of lofty
j condescension. At length a beautifie
smile overspread the little one's features.
Then, with her blue eyes still
! fixed upon the whiskers, and kicking
up her tiny feet in an ecstacy of dej
light, she gurgled:
/'Bow-wow! Bow-wow!"
A wave of color suffused the man's
; face above the whiskers, and he
hitched uneasily in his seat. It was
' an awkward situation, and to relieve
it the nurse girl patted the baby and
said:

Largest Cut Glass Vase.
The largest piece of cut glass in
the world, a vase as tall as a man and
is brilliant In every part as the ftnest * V:
small piece, has just been completed
in this city and will be shipped in a - -j
'a-ar davQ to tbft St_ T.Ollis GXTlOSition.
vhere it will be placed in ihe industri- .
il art display..
The vase is 5 feet 6 3-4 inches in r
height, and every inch of it 'is perfectly
worked in sunbursts, chrysanthemums
and beaded * and notched
effects that shed prismatic rays of
jrilliance and lu3tre. The sunbursts
)n the star are too large to be desiglated
by that usual cut glass term,
so they have been given a new name,
the Louisiana Purchase star.
In all there are 100,000 cuts Or deep
ncisions on the vase, which required
turning it 200,000 times. The vase
weighs 200 pounds. It was produced
jy nine men, who spent 2000 working
aours on it. The man who made the
jlank is 6 feet 7 inches tall. A short- ^
>r man could not have handled the
;reat piece of glass. Twenty blanks
vere turned out before a perfect one
vas produced. *
The remarkable brilliancy of the
rase is caused by the fusing in the ' ^
*lass of 10 percent more lead than is .
jrdinarily used. The vase is several
times larger than the previous greatest
piece of cut glass, completely
iwarfing it.?Philadelphia Press.
Biggest Trout of the Season.
As far as is known, the laurels for
:apturing the largest trout this season
will be handed over to a Philaielphian,
Milton Apple. The catch
vas made on the last day of the trout
season, and the fish is one of the fin- .
jst ever seen in Stroudsburg or East
Stroudsburg. Mr. Apple was fishing
n the creek at Henryvilie, in front r
)f the residence of E. R. Menry. He
a ad been having fair luck, and then
ae had a "rise.'' He expected to land
i fair sized fish, and was totally unprepared
for the surprise he experi- ?
jnced when he landed the monster
Pe had on the end of the line. The >
fact that the trout was well hooked
md that the fisherman kept his head
prevented any accident It took about
in hour before the trout was finally
safe on land. Mr. Henry Is having it
nounted. The fish measured 25 1-2
nches and weighed 6 1-4 pounds. Mr. 1
Apple also caught a trout measuring 12
Inches. He was offered $10 for the
argest, but said he had never sold a
rout, and never would. '
