CHINA WILL FINALLY YIELD The Demands of Russia Will Be Conceded. St. Petersburg, April 2.— The su- perior councillor of the Chinese lega¬ tion, Chu We Jte, is continuing the ne¬ gotiations, as oharge d’affaires, regard¬ ing the Manchurian agreement. The illness of the Chinese minister, Yang Y u, is now admitted to be due to apev plexy, which will incapacitate him from work, probably for a long period. It is said the loss of half his estate through the destination of a Chinese bank, com- femod with political cares, is undermin¬ ing hie health. Unofficial observers scarcely under¬ stand how a doubt can possibly be en¬ tertained abroad that China will ulti¬ mately accept the Russian conditions after it is apparent that no power is willing to forcibly support China.

HOTEL BELLMAN IS HELD U> Daring Robbery at a Jacksonville Hostelry. Jacksonville, Fla., April 3.—One of the most daring hold-ups ever perpe* trated in the south occurred at 4 o’clock yesterday morning in the main hall of the St. James hotel, one of the most fashionable tourist hotels of this city. As has been customary, the night cash¬ ier leaves about i o’clock and the money subsequently taken in at the oafe is placed by the watchman in one of the office drawers. At 4 o’clock the head night bellman reported that two white men came to the front door, which was locked, and, posing as guests, demanded admission. The watchman was at the time making the call of the early morning help. Believing that the men, who were fashionably dressed, were tourists and guests of the hotel, the bellman opened the door. Gnce inside the light, accord¬ ing to the bellman’s story, guns were drawn and the bellman made t® throw up his hands in the front of a pistol. The other robber hurried behind the counter, pried open the door and se¬ cured the money, $53. The two men then backed out, keeping the bellman covered until on the outside, when they made a dash down the street. Officers of the hotel were immediately called and in a few minutes all the city detectives were working on the case. A NOVEL SUIT IN ALABAMA Defeated Republican Candidate For Congress Files It. Montgomery, Ala., April 3.—A suit that promises some sensational develop¬ ments has been filed in the circuit court of Havneville. J. J. Milstead, Republi¬ can, of Elmore county, who recently ran for congress in the Fifth congres- sional district against Colonel Charles W. Thompson of Macon county, has brought suit Will to recover $2,000 from Messrs. Ed, and Bob Dickson, al¬ leged to have been paid them by the said Milstead during the campaign, with the understanding that the Dick¬ sons should carry Lowndes county for Milstead. It is alleged that Milstead*s friends in this oounty endeavored to make a con¬ ditional agreement with the Messrs. Dickson, that if they should carry the county for Milstead they were to receive the sum of $2,000, but this the Messrs. Dickson declined and got the check for $2,000 in advance and collected it. It was further alleged by friends of Messrs Dickson that they endeavored in good faith to carry ©ut their promise to Mil¬ stead and that they did carry their own beat, Lowndesboro, by over 300 ma- jofity for Milstead. The case will de¬ velop some sensational practices in poli¬ tics. DIED WITH CARDS IN HANDS Woman’s Heart Fails While Hearing Her Fortune Told. Birmingham, Ala., April 1.—-At the home of R. H. English, on Fifth ave* ane, where she was boarding, Mrs. Amelia DeLoy, wife of E. J. DeLoy, dropped dead while seated about a ta¬ ble engaged with a number of other la¬ dies m telling fortunes with cards. Cor¬ oner Paris is investigating the case. It is beli< ved that grief and disap¬ pointment weakened the woman’s heart and caused her death. It seems that she had separated from her husband at Covington, alimony Ky., after having sued him for and secured judgment against him. She then followed him to Birmingham and began legal proceed¬ ings to secure the amount of the alimo¬ ny. She obtained judgment here, but for some reason had failed to collect the sum. The deceased was about S3 years of age and was an attractive woman. i/crov VERY ».

S —TV>p The Vienna Vienna cor- ^ respondent of The limes, reviewing the Russian political situation, takes a ous view of it, believing that the first symptoms of far-reaching revolutionary movements are confirmed by the reports of sanguinary disturbances in Dialrstok, where there is ho university. The dis- orders there, in his opinion, show tha; the rioting is no longer confined to stu- dents. The correspondent, however, does not believe that the domestic situ- aft©n will immediately hamper Russia’s loneign policy. Famous Showman Dead.

Salt Is so necessary that no human being can retain his lieabh long without it. This fact makes the one of interest, but the various ways in which the mineral is secured form a theme that is more interesting still. There ate three general sources from which the salt you secure at the gro¬ cery store is obtained. One is by evn oration, one by mining and one scraping from the surface as snow is removed from the ice on a pond. At Syracuse, N. Y.. in Michigan n in many other states there are evr., rating vats, into which water from salt springs is poured. As the water is drawn away by the sun the salt re¬ mains. In a number of states there are great salt mines from which the pure rock salt is taken as are blocks of coal from a coal mine. In southern California there is a salt field where the mineral is scraped up in huge heaps, refined and placed on market. In this region, called the rado desert, lying just north of Mexican line, is a tract covering acres, 264 feet below the sea level covered with salt to a depth of one to eight inches. In the sunlight the field is of dazzling whiteness. years ago the Colorado river through its banks and flooded this desert, but the water receded, and since then the gathering of the salt has boen a growing industry. The crust of salt is first broken into furrows by a salt plow, is then gathered and hauled away to the refinery. It is said the salt crust is due to innumerable salt springs below the surface. Took it Giant Plioto?rriiph. An object that attracted considera¬ ble attention at the Metropolitan Mu¬ seum of Art recently was a camera about four feet wide and five feet high that stood all day in front of a painting in the Wolfe gallery. It required the united efforts of three men to focus the instrument. The operator said that the plate used was the largest ever made and that if he should fail to give the proper exposure it would cost his firm $28. The time required to get a good photograph of the painting was three hours and a quarter. Three gallons of developer and four of hyposulphite of soda were used to fix the plate. When asked why so long an exposure was necessary, the operator said that to get a full detail and color value a yellow screen of glass coated with gelatin dyed with picric acid was fixed in front of the lens. This screen changed the picture that passed through the objective to a yellow color and softened the high lights of the painting to such an extent that tlie dark shadows gave up their detail just as rapidly as the bright places. The plate was prepared with blue myrtle ehlorophyl in the emulsion, and this decreased its regular sensitiveness at least 50 per cent. Only one painting was photographed during the day. A Word For flu? Cook. It is the popular thing nowadays to say that a chief cause of bad health is bad cooking. ‘The frying pan has killed more people than the sword” lias become the rallying cry of one band of reformers. No doubt dyspepsia Is a national disease, but it is not true that the cook should be chiefly blamed for it. Bad cooking is not so much its cause as are overeating and too hasty eating. The man who has a hasty breakfast, a “quick lunch” and a big but hurried dinner may find it con¬ venient to blame the cook for the re¬ sulting dyspepsia, but he has only Mmself to blame. The fact that over¬ eating has much to do with the prev¬ alence of dyspepsia .indicates that the dishes prepared by modern cooks are too appetizing. If they were not tempt- ffig, it is not likely men would indulge in them too freely. What rnay be the awful result if women generally are taught to cook scientifically, so that everything they prepare will be a to * de palate? What is needed is not so mucl1 more schools for training cooks as more effectual methods metnoas » m tearhinn- teaching moderation and common sense on the part of the people who eat : what cooks prepare.—Chicago Trib- ® nfi:land 8 w Serioas Problem.
