In burying tho (load, sax tho effect of
(he Russians' sholls nnd machlno guns
it terrific. Tho slopes of a high hill
wero Itttrred with mangled bodies and
severed heads and limbs. In ono trench
the Chlnesd burled throe hundred Jap
annso and two hundred Russians.
Whllo It Is true that the regular
water supply of Port Arthur has been
topped by the Japanese, the fortress
has other supplies, which can be taken
only when the rtty falls.
The garrison of Fort Arthur now has
sufficient food, but tho supplies' of
tinned meatH are nearly exhausted and
the troops are now slaughtering thir
ty dunkoys dally for fresh meat, which
in worth $1.20 por pound. Eggs cost 20
cento each.
A private letter rerelved at Cho Too
from Port Arthur gives further details
of the fighting. Tho attack began with
a heavy bombardment dlroctcd against
nearly all tho Russian outposts nnd
many of tho main furls. Tho shelling
of tho redoubts protecting tho water
supply of Port Arthur was ttcmendnus.
Nightfall found tlic waterworks ro
doubt reduced to mere heaps of dobrls.
Tho garrisons of the redoubts there
upon retreated safely to tho main for
tifications under cover of darkness.
The samo afternoon tho Japanese
assault on "High hill" began. The
Japanese plan of attach never varied.
First a bombardment nnd then nu as
sault, and when repulsed a bombard
mont again and then another assault.
Tho despcrato determination of the
Ju panose to capture this position
amounted to fanaticism, their efforts
nevor ceasing during four days. One
battalion of Japanese, having rotrcated

succeeded In placing one Hold gun and
two muchlno guns In position behind
hastily made barriers. Their tenure of

when Lloutenant Poggorsky and tho

JOE JEFFERSON QUITS
Will Flay
Hip" No More an Account of
Advancing Age
Joseph Jefferson, after more than
aovonty years on thn stage, during
which time ho has become one of the
most honored and beloved mombors of
tho dramatic profession, has decided
absolutely never to resume his theat
rical careor. Deepest regret was ox
pressed by all who heard him make
tap announcement.
1 Mr. Jefferson arrived In New York
from Boston, whero ho hnd rested a
few days, recuperating from his recent
Illness at Buzzard's Bay, which caused
the abandonment of his fall tour. He
la convalescent but still must be ju
dicious In guarding his returning
strength and will romaln In Now York
three weeks, after which ho will go
by easy stages to Florida, stopping In
Washington for a time nnd again In
Atlanta.
It was a matter of several days' of
silent and trying discussion for tho
yetoran actor boforo he dually decided
to retire. Ho loves tho footlights, but
realUes that at his ago ono must be
caroful not to overstrain a constitution
tbat has bean called upon often for
severe effort.
Whon the doclslon was ultimately
reached, he quietly annouueed It to his
family.
"I Bhall never act again," he said.
"My days upou the stage are ended."
Patorson, N. J., waa the city whero
he last appeared. Thn performance
waa In June, ajtd as an odd coincidence
took Place not far from his quaint old
summer home Ilohokua, whero the
actor resided between seasons for thir
ty years.

HONOR SENATOR HOAR
Worcester, Man,, IIU Home Town. Vajt
Tribute to Him
Tho city of Worcestor, Mass., bowed
bcsldo tho body of her foremost citizen
Senator George Frlsblo Hoar, whllo th
state of Massachusetts and In a largf
nieasuro tho nation sympathized with
tho municipality In her grief.
The Rov. Dr. Kdward Bverctt Halo
chaplain of tho United States senati
and life-long friend of Sonator Hoar,
conducted prayors at tho home. Only
members of the Immediate household
and a fow friends attended this service.
The body waa then placed In tin
hearso by the active pall-bcarors, all
present or past secretaries of tho son
a tor, and the honorary bearers, Sen
ator Henry Cabot Lodge, T. Jefferson

General William F. Draper, Judge
Fraud C. Ixiwell, of Boston ; Colonel
George H. Lyman, of Boston; Stephen
Salisbury, Henry A. Marsh, Dr. O.
Stanley Hall and William 13. Rico, of
Worcestor. The active bearers nnd the
family escorted the romalus to the
church of tho Unity.
The militia forco of the rlty, four
companies of infantry and a battery of
light artillery under arms, were sta
tioned in tho streets to aid the police
In tho almost unnecessary effort to
control the greatest crowd evor seen In
the city. As the hoarse passed every
man bared his head and many women
cobbed.
Tho capacity of the church was GOO
and It was necessary to limit the nt
tondanco of representatives of organ
izations to which tho senator belonged
and municipalities to one porson for
each.
At tho conclusion of the service the
body waa conveyed to tho city hall,
whero It laid In state for a few hours.
Tho remains were takeu to Concord for
burial.
SAMPLE OF BLUE LAWS

Him ply Obnoilon
Lexington, Ky., experienced Its first
Sunday under tho blue law regime. Tho
restrictions were greater than they wilt
bo again. Tho city solicitor discovered
that milk and Ice wagons are "a neces
sity" and exempt by law. Only a few
milk wagons attempted to run and
their drivers were promptly arrested.
Most of the population drank coffeo
without cream. Families whose Hick
chlldrou were deprived of milk com
plained bitterly and threatened suits
for damages. Ico wagons did not at
tempt to run. l-ate In tho afternoon tho
city solicitor decided that both bavo
the right to run nnd the drivers under
arrest wore released. Only about thirty
people wero arrosted for violating tho
Sunday law, although ubout two hun
dred had annouueed their Intention of
continuing business. They decided
when they startod to opon nnd saw tho
police, they had bettor keep closed.
Drug stores had a right to sell medi
cine on proscription only, but this did
not pay to keep dorks and all drug
stores closed. The only pluces open
wore hotols, livery stables and news
papor offices, tho latter classes having
secured Injunctions.
No time uad been given citizens to
proparo ror tho strict oniorcemont or
Sunday laws and muny families had
not laid In groceries and meats.

Unable to stand under the attneks,

however, within fifteen feet of their

prevent tllo loss of the ball on downs.
At other times they were able to keep
the Nebraska gains down to three nnd
four yards, but for only a fow downs
at a tlmo. Then the line would open
up a big hole and one of the Nebraska
backs would dnit through for a long

tant Information for Borer Rxr-
termlnatlon Other'Newe
Dr. F. H. Snow of tho'UiilVeraUyof
Kansas reports that a number of elm
trees throughout the state are- badly
attacked by borers, two klnds'of which'
mature Into beetles, for which' thero la
no remedy except for tho cutting down
and burning of tho affected1 trees be
fore spring. Already a number of the
trees which have been grown for shade,
and perhaps 20 years old, aro1 wholly
dead, and If not destroyed clear' to the
roots together with those that are
dying wtll furnish breeding places for
the insects which will cscapn next
spring and endanger all tho healthy
trees In the vicinity If not In the town.
Tula Is tho most destructive borer ot
the elm in tho northern and eastern
states, often killing the trees by the
wholesale. More recently tho ravagos
of this borer have been observed by
Prof. Forbc3, whose notes aro copied
from his third report on the injurious
insect of Illinois:
"From the present appcaranco of the
elms throughout the towns of central
Illinois, where I have had an oppor
tunity to examine their condition, and
from, the rapid progress which this
pest has made among them during the
last two. or three years, it seems ex
tremely likely that it will totally ex
terminate the trees unless it be
promptly arrested by general action
Tho only remedy available Is unques
tionably tho destruction of affected
tiroes In autumn nnd winter before the
beetles have a chance to emerge from
the trunks. In towns this measure
should usually be taken by the au
thorities, since individual action could
not bo depended on to moro than palli
ate the difficulty. If every olm which
is in. the unhealthy condition above
described and which, upon examination
Is found to harbor those borers beneath
the bark, were cut down in autumn
and burned before spring, tho multi
plication of the borer might be ef-
raciuauy cnecHod; but If tho destruc
tion of the trees bo postponed until as
late as May. a part of all the beetles
maturing each year would escape to
carry the mischief elsewhere."

He said that the Llgget & Myers firm
