STARVE FORI ARTHUR.
Alleged Plan of Mikado--Vladivostok
Reported Beleaguered by
Jap Warships.
Advices received in Vienna, Austria,
St. Petersburg indicate that the
have blockaded Vladivos
ae well as Port Arthur.
Not only is a Japanese fleet in the
offin - at Vladivostoek, but Japanese
forces are moving cn the place.
Three Japanese detachments of
1,000 men each have landed at Ching
Chan, Korea, 150 miles north of Won- f
San. It is supposed that this Japan
ese of force will try to reach the valley J
the Tumen river and threaten not
only Vladivostoek, but Kun-Chun, in
Manchuria, and also Harbin. J
A fleet of ten Japanese warships |
has been sighted on the horizon off j
Vladivostoek. This fleet may bom
bard the port and attempt to destroy
the four Russian warships at that
place.
A special of Wednesday from Tokio,
Japan, Arthur says: will not The begin investment before of next Port j
week. In a few days the Japanese will
land on the Liao-Tung peninsula, and
the troops will co-operate with the
navy in an attempt to reduce the Bus
sian stronghold. It was expected the
attack would begin on the fortress im
mediately, but these advices, without
explaining the reason for the delay,
show that there has been a change in
the original plans. Army officers in
Tokio thinj: the Japanese decided that
with the railroad connecting Port Ar
thur with the outside world cut, thus
preventing supplies from reaching the
place, two weeks’ privation will render
the final assault easier. Moreover, as
Port Arthur can be safely left as it
is for the time being, the Japanese
troops may be employed instead in
northern Korea and near the Yalu
river, where they are now most
needed.
FIVE DIE IN BUILDING CRASH.
Sky-Scraper in New York Collapses Upon
Large Force of Workmen
Five persons are known to have been
killed, about, a score injured and eight
or ten, all of whom are believed to be
dead, are missing, through the col
lapse, at New York Wednesday, of the
steel skeleton of the Hotel Darlington, j
a thirteen-story apartment house in
course cf erection at 57 West Forty
sixth street. The steel frame work
had been erected as far as the elev
enth floor and the structure wa3
swarming with iron workers, masons j
and laborers, when the upper floor
sagged and collapsed, and the whole
structure fell with a crash t^iat was
heard for blocks and shook all the
buildings in the vicinity.
A portion of the steel frame fell
upon the rear of the Hotel Patterson,
on West Forty-seventh street, crushing
in the wall of the dining room and
killing a woman as she was sitting at
luncheon.
Owing to.the enormous mass of met
al wreckage, days may elapse before j
all the bodies are recovered from the
debris.
The cause for the disaster generally
accepted is the overloading cf the
!
floors.
WOMAN SCALPED BY BELTING.
Hair is Completely Stripped Off From Nose

Mrs. Carrie Hyer Worsham, wife ot
Superintendent J. W. Worsham, of the
Covington, Ga., cotton mills, is in a
precarious condition as tbe result of
an accident which occurred to her at
the factory Wednesday.
Mrs. Worsham was in the basement
of the mill looking after the removal
of hot house flowers, which she had
stored there during the winter. While
stooping to remove a box from under
a wheel her hair was suddenly caught
up by the beleting, which completely
scalped her from her nose to the
back of her neck.

SECRETS COMING OUT.
Mormon Gives Further Interesting Tes
timony in the Reed Smoot .
Investigation.
Interest in the investigation before
the senate committee on privileges and i
elections of the protests against Sena
tor Reed Smoot, of Utah, was imabat
ed Friday, although most of the time
was devoted to introduction of docu
ments subscribed to as the law of the
Mormon church. In that connection
President Josaph F, Smith, who again
was OI1 the stand, testified that if the
principle of plural marriage should be
attacked, it would be defended by the
church.
Intense feeling was exhibited by
President Smith against individuals,
who, he said, had spied cu the domes
tic and marital relations of the high
officials of the Mormon church.
It was brought out that ail of Mr.
Smith’s predecessors, as presidents of
the Mormon church, had been poly
gamists, and that the man chosen to
succeed him has more than one wife.
Mr. Smith was asked which he would
obey, the law of the land or revela
tions from God, if the two were in con
flict. He said he might obey the reve
lation, though it was not compulsory,
He added: “I should not like to ne
put in a position where I would have
to desert my children—I could not do
that.”
Senator Hoar desired information on
the subject of rights of women in the
church, and whether they hold any
priestly authority. Mr. Smith said the
women are regarded as the equals of
the men in all matters of voting, but
that in holding “priestly authority”
women are not regarded on the same
plane. He explained that the women
have a charitable association known as
“The Woman’s Relief Society,” in
■which they have authority to perform
certain prescribed duties. This author
ity is limited to the relieving of d ! s
tress, but women are not ordained
high priests, apostles or eiders.
Discussing plural marriage, Presi
dent Smith said if a Mormon wanted
to espouse a second virgin, he could
do so by obtaining the consent of the
first, but if the consent of the first was
withheld he was at liberty to proceed
without it. It is set forth also jffiat
where the first refuses to consent to
share her husband with another wo
man. she would be “destroyed.” Sena
tor Pettus asked the meaning of the
word “destroyed” in that sense.
Mr. Smith answered that she would
be destroyed by the Lord, but that he
was not informed “just now the Lord
would go about .t.”
“Then it does not mean that the
husband could destroy Her?” Senator
Pettus asked.
“No, never.”
ii I take it then that the question of
getting a wife’s consent to marry again
might just a3 well be eliminated en
tirely,” said Senator Beveridge.
“Just as well,” answered the wit
ness.
SOLD WIFE FOR FISHING NETS.
North Carolina Brothers Make Unique Trade.
Children Also Involved.
When John Outlaw ,of Currituck.
North Carolina .became tired of his
wife and two children some weeks
ago, he sold the trio to his brother,
Jerome Outlaw. He received in ex
change two fishing nets.
The matter was reported to the au
thorities and a warrant was sworn out.
The trial occurred at Currituck. It
developed the fact that John Outlaw,
did not think there was anything
wrong in the affair. Neither did Mrs.
Outlaw nor Jerome Outlaw. When
John Outlaw became aware that there
was a possibility of the transaction be :
ing annulled by court, he gathered up
his fishing nets and decamped.

A FRUIT GROWER'S HOME.
There has been a want of improve
ment in the exterior of homes in the
country, says John Craig, in Rural
New Yorker. The house is the unit
of improvement in the country. There
fore the first consideration is the site.
Let us choose one that is elevated
slightly and with good views. The
house should be plain and dignified,
with no rooster on the roof nor ginger
bread under the veranda. In design
ing the interior one should think of
the woman who lives there seven
eighths of her time, and make the ar
rangement convenient, Ma ke the
house durable, put in a furnace or
steam, and a lighting plant if pos
Sll) *e- These witli the rural telephone
and rural delivery give the comforts
of the city home without its discom
forts.. Frame the home by planting
trees and shrubs around it. Place per
ennials on the outside borders and
have greensward within. Plan for a
vegetable and a fruit garden. Set a
fruit tree for each child and let him
have tlie fruit as his own. Locate the
house back from the highway.
TW
IDEAL RATION FOR SWINE.
All who raise swine recognize the
fact that tlu'.v must be fed at the low
est cost possible consistent with ob
taining tbe desired results. There is
no denying the charge that swine are
j 00 much corn; nor fs this eeono
my, for it does not. provide the proper
ration and the animal takes on flesh
without tlio proper amount of bone
and muscle to sustain it. In an ex
perience of twenty years in raising se
looted hogs for market the writer has
found the most economical ration to
consist of one part each of corn, bran
and oats, with an occasional feed of
oil meal, and witli root crops of some
kind every other day. We grow ruta
bages in large quantities for this pur
pose and find it pays well.
Pigs that are three months old or
younger have less oats in their ration
and more corn and bran, but they also
have tlie oil meal and the roots. We
j consider exercise and pure water as
essential to success in hog raising as
food, and our hogs are given both
j freely during cold weather. The ex
i ereise they do not like to take as they
get heavy, but we force them out into
a yard—a clean, dry yard—daily, and
find they are all the better for it. The
yard is not so large that they are
tempted to run off any of their weight.

SHADE TREES FOR PASTURE.
Every one who has Jive stock realizes
fully the value of shade when the ani
mals are at pasture, and those who
have been sensible and left a portion
of the wood lot for shade can readily,
see the advantages to the cows. It
would be unfair to attempt any state
ment as to the gain in milk when cows
have shade in the pasture, but it is
undoubtedly considerable.
It is a good time now to look into
this quesiton. If one is located near a
woods of considerable size, enough
seedlings may be found to form a
small grove, and the cost will be the
labor of digging them and trans
planting them. There are a number of
nurserymen in the country who supply
seedlings of various native trees at a
price so low that a few dollars will
set a large area; true, these seedlings
must be cared for properly for a time,
but in a few years they will make
good trees and furnish an abundance
of shade.
On the other hand, suppose one is
able to invest $20 in shade trees of
forty or more trees which, in three or
four years, would furnish and abund
ance of shade for a herd of cows, and
increase in value as they grow, thus
making a profit for the planter in two
ways. Think this 'over and do some
plantin -- in the spring.
