FJKTISE)I!-LmL X | THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL. | ¥ew People Know How Useful It Is in Prescrving Health and Beauty. ybody knows that char- fest and most eflicient | sinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize its valu> when taken into the human system for the same cleans- ing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onlons and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts us a natural and eminently safe cathartic. | It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it @isinfects the mouth and throat from the pol of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probebly the best charcoal and thie most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered willow charcoal and other harmless | antiseptics in tablet form or rather in | the form of large, pleasant tasting Jozenges, the charcoal being mixed | with horey. The Gaily use of these lozenges will roon tell in a much improved condi- | tion of the general health, better com- piexion, sweeter breath and purer ' blood, and the beautv af it is that no | possible harm can result from thetr | continued use, but on the contrary, great_benefit. 2 A Buffalo physic‘~-. in speaking ot the benefits of Jun.ofil says: "I ad- vise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas In stomach | and bowels, and to clear the com- ' plexion and {ur-uy the breath, mouth | and throat: I also believe the liver is | greatly benefited by the daily use of | them: they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and, alt‘mu‘h‘ ir, some sense 4 naient preparation, yet | I believe I get more and better char- | gorl in Staart's Charcoal Lozenges than in an- of the ordinary charccal gablets.” 1 | considered a splendid investment.

Woman Fights and Dies in the Port Arthur Trenches. | CHEFU, Nov. 16.—The Port Arthur newspaper, Nova Krai, of November 12, copies of which were brought to Chefu this morning by the Russian tor- pedo-boat destroyer Ratstoropny, tains a romantic story of Haritena Ko- rotkiewitch, who, although a woman, served valorously in many fights a|‘ Port Arthur until death closed her The Nova Krai gives many details regarding the adventures of the woman, which combine to make the story one of undounted authen- ticity. The husband of Haritena Korotkie- witch was serving at Port Arthur. In endeavoring to join him sne was stop- | ped at Harbin and not allowed to pro- | ceed farther, owing to her sex. She then donned masculine attire and suc- ceeded in reaching Port Arthur shortly | befcre the landing of the Japanese on | the peninsula of Liaotung. | Finding her husband’s regiment, she | enlisted in it. She participated in nu- merous sorties and in the defense of | the forts, and although her sex was soon discovered, her record for bravery, tirelessness . and attention to the con- | wounded and the excellent moral influ- | ence she exerted over tne soldiers, who never swore in her presence, won her permission to remain in the ranks. While fighting side by side with her husband the latter was wounded. His wife nursed him until the crisis in his case was passed, when she returned to the front, where she became a messen- ger to Captain Gouzakofiky of the Thirteenth Regiment. In the perform- ance of her duties as messenger she wazs often seen riding fearlessly from one position to another, seemingly un- affected by the bursting of shells or | the din of battle. On October 18 she visited the trenches with dispatches, when huge shells from the Japanese guns struck and destroy- ed the Russian position. Haritena Ko- votkiewitch and eight others were killed. They were buried in one grave, with the Russian flag wrapped around Haritena's bod; The Nova Krai con- cludes its story by saying “‘Haritena Korotkiewitch had won | | the respect and admiration, not only of the soldiers but of the higher office and had shown all how to die nobly. thes P e SSIANS TO DEMONS, LIKENS RU ’ Skipper of a North Sea Trawler Gives Uncomplimentary Opinion. HULL, England, Nov. 16.—All of the witnesses examined to-day in the | North Sea inquiry reiterated emphut-! ic denials that any strange vessels | were among the trawler fleet or any- | thing that could be mistaken for tor- | pedo-boats. The skipper of the Mino | said the Russians were so close that the fishermen could hear the bugle | calls which preceded the firing. The | third Russian vesse! was only fifty | yards off when she fired. On cross examination the skipper informed Dr. Woodhouse that he con- sidefed the Russlans to be “‘demons | possessed” when he realized that they were firing live shots. The sk(pper of the Gull, the last witness, replying to Dr. Woodhouse, said that when the | trawler Crane’s lights were extin-! guished after the firing ceased he mis- | took the Crane for a torpedo-boat. | The inquiry was adjourned.

The crew, with the ex- ception of one man, left the destroyer during the afternoon. This last man lighted slow fuses connecting with powder stores. There were three dull explosions, which were scarcely dis- | cernible 100 yards from the place where they occurred.. Almost simultaneously the Rastoropny sank and settled on the bottom. A single spar marks her srave. The Rastoropny carried sealed orders providing that, unless there came a highly favorable opportunity to escape, the vessel should be blown up. Suffi- | cient powder for this purpose was se- creted before the destroyer left Port Arthur. Small charges of powder, placed In each of the watertight com- partments, were exploded. Two Japanese torpedo-boat destroy- | ers were seen at the mouth of the har- bor to-night and their presence un- doubtedly precipitated the action of the Russians in blowing up the Rasto- ropny. The commander of the Rastoropny, in interview on his adventurous voyage, said: “I left Port Arthur at midnight, in a blinding snowstorm. The boat was | navigated through all the dangers of floating. mines without a mishap. On reaching the open sea, we w a Jap- anese cruiser and some torpedo-boats in the distance, but we were steaming rapidly through the storm, with lights extinguished, and passed them unno- We reached Chefu without mis- hap of any kind.” The commander of the torpedo-boat destroyer was optlinistic with reference Port Arthur of enteric fever.

Weber appeared cool dnd defilant this morning when he was taken before Justice E. O. smith for preliminary ex- amination cn the specific charge of having murdered his mother, Mrs. Mary Weber. Only once during the proceedings did he evince the least in- terest in the proceedings and that was when George Ruth testifled that he (Ruth) had carried the body of little Earl Weber out of the burning home on the night of the terrible tragedy. and quivering from head to foot, Weber, in a clear, cold, ringing voice, exclaimed: “George you did not do it.” Weber's at- to remain quiet. The testimony day. Weber testified on that occasion | he had carried his little brother from the burning dwelling into the yard. During the morning sesgibn® there was constant bickering between Dis- trict Attorney Kelly Robinson and Ben P. Tabor, counsel for the prisoner. The | District Attorney complained of fre- ! quent interruptions by Tabor and an- nounced that unless he was permitted to conduct the inquiry,in the manner he deemed best he would drop the pro- ceedings before Justice Smith and take | the case into a higher court. ACTS AS PEACEMAKER. Tabor replied that never before had | he heard of a public prosecutor at- | tempting to intimidate a committing magistrate, nor had he ever before heard an attorney trying to instruct a Judge as to how a case should be heard. He contended that many of the questions asked by Robinson were not permissible and that the testimony he was seeking to introduce would never be allowed to go before a jury. Justice Smith managed to smooth over matters until the noon recess, but the attorneys were still in irate mood. Just prior to the closing of the day’s | session, Attorney Tabor again entered protest against the line of procedure of the District Attorney. He sald that irrelevant questions were being pro- pounded to the witnesses and he asked | the court to instruct the District Attor- ney to confine himself to a proper and legal inquiry, Justice Smith again acted the part of peacemaker and the session _closed without further incident. During the hearing Mr. Snowden, Mrs. and " Mrs. Hess and Miss Alice Hess, relatives of Mrs. Weber, occupied | seats in the courtroom. Mrs. Snowden, who is a sister of the murdered woman, experienced the greatest difficulty in maintaining her composure. Frequent- ly she gave Vent to her feelings in tears. FINDING OF THE BODIES. The testimony of George Ruth, who first entered the burning home where the murdered people lay, was listened to in the deepest silnce. He told how he and Guy Lukens smashed in the windows and tore down the shades in their first endeavor to enter-the house. They were forced back by the dense leaving his brother unshot, would! brother unshot, | smoke that poured out on them, but they finally climbed into the room. There was not a ray of light; all was dark as night. They groped around and Ruth stumbled over something which proved to be the feet of |a woman. With the assistance of | Lukens he lifted her up and bore her to the window. As the night breeze | swept over her flames burst out in her | j clothes and her body was burned al- most beyond recognition. Ruth- continuing said that he went back into the blackness and smoke and | stumbled over another bady, which proved to be that of little Earl. He grabbed the little boy in his arms and groped his way to the window. It was at that juncture that Adolph Weber arose and pointing his finger at the witness, exclaimed: ‘“George Ruth, you did not do it." Ruth-in conclusion said that while he held the child in his arms it was gasp- ing for breath, & Guy Lukens followed and his testi- { i 1 dered woman wept as he told his story, but the son, who is accused of the aw-, | ful crimes, retained the calm and com- posure that has marked his bearing and his manner since the day of the awful tragedy. TELLS OF MEETING WEBER. | Other witnesses who testified to be- ing present on the night of the fire { were John L. Predom, Moses G. Pre- idom, C. H. Morrow, J. C. Campbell and J. F. Landis. Their testimony was im- material: EJ H. Elder testifled that he was one of the first to arrive at the burning home and as he rushed around the house he met Adolph Weber and asked: “Is there anybody in the | house? Are they upstairs or down- | stairs?” Weber, he said, replied in an unconcerned manner, “I don’t know.” ‘Weber then stepped back about four feet from the house and threw a small bundle against a window, smashing the glass. The bundle went into the burn- ing house. Weber then began kicking the lower part of the window with his heel. That was the last that Elder saw of him until the fire had died out. examination of the victims after the fire, reported the finding of bullets in their bodies. Mrs. Weber, he testified, was shot twice. One hullet passed through her body and was found in the back, near the spine. The other bullet and the shot appeared to have been fired from the back. The examination will be resumed to- day. —_————————— To Cure a Cold in One Day Take . Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets. All druum- refund the maney If it falls to cure, .

One of the worst and greatest draw- backs to railway travel in Italy |is the want of accommodation on many of the trains, and strangely enough this applies to a greater extent on long distance trains than those made up for short journeys. We have no hesitation in saying that for any party of four or five persons wishing to travel let us say from Rome to Naples (six hours) and desiring to sit together it is neces- sary to arrive at the station at least three-quarters of an hour before the | | time at which the train is advertised ‘to start. Even then we say without | exaggeration that the thing s no certainty. The use of a smoking car- riage with any degree of comfort is al- most an impossibility. One may arrive alone, in réasonable | | time for the train, only to find that the ' very few first-class smoking compart- ments have long ago been filled with ladies and children or more probably in- valids. We speak as a first-class pas- senger only, and, so far as we have ob- served, the second-class accommoda- tion on Italian trains ecan still be recommended. The overcrowding and discomfort here are stretched to their ! utmost 1limits, while the third-class carriage may be dismissed in a few words. This conveyance in the form of a cattle truck is open to all the winds that blow, and appears to be used chiefly for the transport of troops.
