Cure fur Brittle Hoofs.
Horses are frequently troubled with
brittle hoofs, caused by a deficiency fcf
water In tlie bone. This condition may
be caused by fever of the feet, as In
common founder; Inflammation of (he
Interior of the feet; exposure to fer
menting manure of filthy stables, by
which the horn Is saturated with
oiolsture containing ummonia. It may
Sluo be caused by leaving the feet
covered with mud, or by continued dry
weather or olher unhealthy conditions.
The born may thus become dry and
granulated and often separates very
easily, crumbling nnd splintering away
until (here Is scarcely crust enough
left to fasten a shoe upon.
The. remedy Is to remove the cnuse
and restore the moisture. Frequent
washing of the feet with cold wuler
will aid materially In curing. Glycer
ine and water In equal parts make ex
cellent dressings for the hoofs.

May Close the Pool Rooms
Cel. Robert C. Clowry, president
and general manager of the Western
Union Telegraph company, suddenly
shut off all service of raclr g news to
all classes of subscribers In this city
today, This act of Col. Clowty's
taken entirely on his own initiative,
without instructions from his board
of directors or any pressure from the
authorities was the result uf claims
recently made public by pollc; ofll
rials that the pool rooms of New
Yi rk city could not exist without
the Western Union service. Recent'y
a civil organization, called the City
club, made public charges that if
the Western Union would assist
them the pool room evil io this city
would be overcome. The action ol
Col. Clowry is the result.
Commissioner McAdoo, of the
pnlice department when told about
Col. dowry's statement said:
"If the Western Unolon Telegraph
company has cut off, not onlv tha
direct wires leading from the cential
office to ttie pool rooms, but con
nections from the exchanges with
which they nave been under contract
and which, In turn, retailed the
uews to pool rooms for gambliirij
purposes, then this vice has received
a most damaging blow, and If it sur
vives it all, it will have to do so

especially pleased as it anticipates a
reply to the resolution passed by tin

The commissioner said then that
this was more radical action than
he had dared to hope for.

ST. PETERSRDRG. Disquiet
ing Dews regarding the attitude of
tbe Chinese is contained la ais-1
patches from the offices at the f rooty
issued by tbe general staff tonight.
In addition to giving further details'
ot the cutting off of Fort Arthur and'
confirming the report of the Japanese
advance upon upon Llago Yantf,
these dispatches state specially that
the Chinese have commenced hosti
lities against the Russians. Major
Ger.eral Karkevltch reports that tbe
Cbincse at acked bis outposts on tbe
Fcng-Wacg-Cben road leading to
Saltuatsl. General Fflug telegrapha
that according to reports of patrols
aad missionaries tbe Ccinese as
TaDadziatsI. 160 miles northwest of
Mukden, and lust outside tue Rus
sian sphere of influence, are prepar
ing to rise against the Russians
generally.
As showing the extent of the hos
tile attitude of the Chinese, atten
tion is particularly called to ttie fact
that the distance in an air line from
that point where the Russian out
posts were attacked aod Tapadzitsi
Is 200 miles. The authorities say
that this matter affects not only
Russia, hut the whole civilized
world, as it is feared that tbe rising
will spread to other parts ot the
empire
The hostile attitude ot the Chinese
is attributed to the action of tlie
Japanese in spending reports of their
successes and magnifying their vic
toiles at Fort Arthur and (in tha
Yalu. This propaganda has been
active recently In all parts of China.
So Jar as tbe railway is concerned,
while it Is admitted here that a
Chinese outbreak will be a new
source of danger, preparations have
been perfected by General Kuropat
kln to Insure the protection of this
artery which is vital to tbe supply ol
