Children especially are fond of dainties
and the housekeeper must look carefully
to their food.
As good cake can be made only with
good eggs, so also a cake that is health
ful as well as dainty must be raised with
a pure and perfect baking powder.
Royal Baking Powder is indispensable
in the preparation of the highest quality
of food. It imparts that peculiar light

finest cake, biscuit, doughnuts, crusts, etc.,
and what is more important, renders the
food wholesome and agreeable to young

WAS FEARFUL FIGHTING
AROUND PORT ARTHUR
Graphic Account of the Terrible Assaults Made
by the Japanese.
Headquarters of the Japanese Third
Army Before Port Arthur, Nov. 28,
via Tien Tsin, Dec. 9.—The general
assault on Port Arthur, which began
at noon on Nov. 26, is still in pro
gress.
In the first series of assaults an at
tempt was made to capture the forts
at Rihlung and Kekwan mountains by
penetrating the principal line of forti
fications surrounding them and to en
velop the city from the east. At the
same time a strong force pushed up
the gorge of Shishi valley between two
fortified ridges and attacked the sup
porting fort in the rear of West Rih
lung mountain, officially called Sung
ehu mountain, with the intention of
enveloping the city from the west. The
attempt failed after the most furious
fighting that has been witnessed since
Port Arthur was invested. The fight
ing lasted from noon of Nov. 26 until
after dawn of the following day with
out cessation.
The assault began in the early morn
ing with a tremendous bombardment
of the forts. For hours the whole
fortified ridge was deluged with heavy
shells. At noon the principal line of
fortifications was a perfect hell of
bursting shrapnel, and the spectacle
was more wonderful than anything
previously seen.
Through the haze caused by the
smoke of the bursting shells the as
saulters could be seen emerging from
the cover of the parallels, as well as
swarming up the fortified ridge at half
a dozen different points.
Riftrapid fire guns and machine
guns blazed from the Russian posi
tion where advances were made in the
open. The men went down by hun
dreds. As fast as the assaulters were
repulsed more Japanese swarmed up.
onlwto be mowed down in turn.
Tne Japanese paralleled some thir
ty-five yards of the Russian trench
line, and an entire regiment charged
“oross, the men falling by hundreds
before the awful fire of the Russians.
But still more men came on over the
bodies of those who had fallen, and

Tht assaulters succeeded in holding
some eighty yards of the trench in
front of the parellels, but their effort

burning pits.

The Russians fought with tremendous
courage, engaging the Japanese with
bayonets and grenades when they
came to close quarters. The Japanese
finally established a trench line five
yards in front of the line of fortifica
tions, which they now occupy. The
forces am engaged in throwing dyna
mite grenades at each other.
The attempts which were first made
to rush the western part of Rihlung
mountain, officially called Sungshu
mountain, also ended in failure. The
Japanese reached the parapets from
the moats, but tied as fast as they
came, from the fire within the fort.
The walls were black with the assault
ers, who were deluged with shells from
supporting forts.
At 9 o'clock at night a force of 2,000
volunteers from the right division, led
by a general, started from a point
southwest of Shuishi village, pushed up
the gorge between the two fortified
ridges and attacked the supporting fort
of Sungshu mountain. This force
reached the fort hIU and engaged a
force of Russians upon its slope in a
hand-to-hand encounter which lasted
for two hours.
At the same time the Japanese as
saulting the east and west Rihlung
forts made desperate attempts to rush
the interior of the forts. They gained
the ramparts, inside which they es
tablished trench lines.
The interior defenses of both forts
are the same as those on North Kek
wan mountain, but the East Rihlung
fort is the largest and strongest of the
three forts. It has upper and iower
levels. The lower levels were the
scene of the most awful struggle. Un
der cover of darkness the Japanese
poured over the ramparts and furious
ly attacked the first section of bomb
pioofs. The defenders received them
with bayonets and dynamite grenades,
while the machine guns on the upper
levels poured a deadly hail into the
ranks of the Japanese.
The Japanese gained practically the
whole of lower section of forts, but
were mowed down by machine guns
and rifles when they attempted to
assault the higher levels. A similar
struggle was going on all the time in
the west Rihlung forts, where the
arrangements of defenses was the
same.
At midnight the column attacking
the supporting forts of Sungshu moun
tain was compelled to retire, having
lost half the force.
The struggle in the two forts was
continued until dawn, when the as
saulters were compelled to retire to the
trenches established inside the parapet
walls, which they now occupy.
The fighting of the afternoon and
night was the most desperate and san
guinary since the siege began. The
opposing forces were so close together
that only the fort walls or a few yards
of level ground separated them. The
struggle from start to finish was at
close quarters with bayonets and gren
ades and rifles used as clubs. The fe
rocity of the attacking Japanese was
equalled by the defending Russians,
who died at their posts everywhere,
fighting till their last breath.

GERMAN SOCIALIST TALKED
And Made References to Which
Chancellor Did Not Reply.
Berlin, Dec. 9.—Herr Von Volmar,
Socialist, relieved Herr Bebel, the So
cialist leader, to-day, in the assault
upon the government in the Reichstag.
At the conclusion of a long speech,
sharply arraigning Chancellor Von Bue
low for his alleged over friendly atti
tude toward Russia.
Hf, rr Von Volmar took up Emperor
Williams telegrams, referring specifi
cally to the one sent to President
Roosevelt. He said th 6 Socialists by
no means saw their ideal in American
conditions, republican capitalism being
no better than monarchic, “but," he
added, "we can learn from America
free self-government in choosing our
highest official, and In taking back
his commission after a fixed period.
The most loyal German can learn from
the exchange of telegrams that Ger
many s slavish political condition can
not last forever, and that the German
people finally are matching toward
freer conditions.”
Chancellor Von Buelow, in a lengthy
reply, ignored this part of Von Vol
raar's speech.
The Chancellor defended the govern
ment's policy toward Russia. He as
serted that it was one of strict neu
trality corresponding with the tradi
tional attitude of Germany toward the
Russian empire, and regretted that
the Socialists treated Russian relations
wholly from the standpoint of a politi
cal party.
STORY OF MRS. YOUNG.
Boston, Dec. 9.—Mrs. Julia A. Young
is the second wife of the late John
F. Young, a wholesale tobacco dealer.
Mr. Young had a granddaughter, Fan
nie May Young, whose mother died
when the child was an infant. When
Mr. Young married the present Mrs.
Young, the child, then 6 years old,
was legally adopted. After Mr.
Young's death, Mrs. Young and the
girl lived happily together until the
latter was about 16 years old. At this
time, it is alleged, outside influences
resulted in a separation between Mrs.
Young and Miss Young and four years
ago the young woman went to At
lanta. It is said that the trouble
arose over money matters, the child
being Mr. Young’s heir under the
guardian of Mrs. Young.
Mrs. Young begun libel proceedings
against the parties who, in her opin
ion, are responsible for the separation
between the young woman and her
self. She claims damages for $150,000.
Her trip to Atlanta was made for the
purpose of getting her daughter’s sig
nature to certain documents which will
figure in the pending litigation.
Mimn Youiik to W<*d.
Atlanta, Dec. 10.—Miss Fannie May
Young left Atlanta this morning for
Jacksonville with the avowed inten
tion, it is stated, of marrying in that
city.
LOOKS FOR HER ANGEL
TO AID MRS. CHADWICK.
Boston, Dec. 9.—The Post will say
to-morrow:
Herbert D. Newton has not yet suc
ceeded in recovering the $190,800 which
he claims to have loaned Mrs. Chad
wick, but he still claims to possess
strong hope of recovery. Not upon
the Cleveland woman does he base his
hopes, but upon the belief that a cer
tain millionaire, whose name he has
agreed not to utter, will finally come
to the woman's rescue.
Meanwhile a civil suit for $30,000 is
in progress against Mr. Newton. The
suit is brought by E. E. Williams
bank official of Elvria, 0.. in an at
tempt to recover from Newton, on ac
commodation notes signed by Newton
to aid Mrs. Chadwick.
CLAIMS JURISDICTION
IN THE CHADWICK CASE.
Cleveland, 0.. Dec. 9.—After hear
ing two witnesses in the Chadwick
case, the grand Jury adjourned to-day
until Monday. At the end of the
hearing Pitosecutor Keeler said the
testimony gave him jurisdiction in the
alleged forgery case, because the notes
were negotiated in this county.
DROVE THE RUSSIANS
OUT OF THE ISLAND.
London, Dec. 10.—The Daily Tele
graph's Tien Tsjn correspondent re
ports that Gen. Oku, after a three
days’ artillery engagement, drove the
Russians on Sunday out of the small
lofty island of Gushan in the river,
ten miles north of Liao Yang. The
Russians, it is added, abandoned a
quantity of supplies and several guns
and retired to a position eight miles
northwest, whence they heavily bom
barded the Japanese, setting fire on
Tuesday to kerosene storehouses and
causing a great conflagration, which
did not cease till Wednesday.
The Japanese are still gallantly hold
ing the island with a handful of men.
Their casualties, it is alleged, number
5,009.
Belonged to Fighting Order.
Bt. Petersburg, Dec. 9.—The indict
ment upon which Sasoneff, the assas
sin of Minister of the Interior Von
Plehvc and Slkorlfsky, his accomplice,
will be tried on Dec. 13, is a formidable
document reciting the history of the
assassination plot and details of the
crime, and revealing for the first time
interesting facts about the accused
and confessions made by them, wind
ing up with the formal charge. The
document, which has been shown to
the Associated Press correspondent,
states that both SasoneiT and Sikorlf
sky belonged to a lighting or
ganization of Socialist revolutionists,
the Central Committee of which was
organized abroad in 1903. and the or
gan of which was Revolutionary Rus
sia. The object of the organization
was to overthrow the autocracy and
to replace it with a republican socialis
tic regime.

How They Are Worn.
From the London Mail.
The desire for jewels and the ex
travagantly splendid displays now
made by women who delight in such
manifestations of wealth are two of
the main characteristics of the power
dress exercises over women in this
luxurious age.
A million sovereigns sounds like an
incredibly huge sum of money to sink
in precious stones, but the gem caskets
of some of our great ladles represent
that value very closely, and it Is ac
tually touched in a few notable in
stances.
Quite moderately wealthy young mar
ried women do not consider their cata
logue of Jewels complete without two
or three tiaras, a string of pearls cap
able of being measured by the yard,
a stomacher brilliantly ablaze with
gems, a dog collar and numerous neck
letH, rings of various colors to match
various gems, to say nothing of aigret
tes of diamonds,' bracelets, brooches
and little ornaments by the hundred.
One single necklet of pearls—only a
string that closely clasps the throat
—has been known to cost £90,000: a
tiara swallows up any sum up to £25,-
000, and even more when It contains
practically priceless stones; ones
brooch may easily represent £SOO,
while a stomacher can scarcely cost
less. Hence to be bedizened In gems
that represent £IOO,OOO is not a difficult
task for the woman who likes a bar
baric display and can afford to in
dulge her whim.
The extravagance this craving for
gems leads to Is excused by some peo
ple on the score that precious stones
are a sound Investment, while the deal
rs In imitation gems truthfully aver
that It fosters their trade. Avery
quutnt fashion from old times Is the
agrafe of brilliants, un ornament re
sembling a bow and bands of dia
monds, duplicated many times so as
to trim a dress from the decolletage
to the hem of the sktrt. The orna
ments graduate In size, so that at the
foot of the dj'ess they are much larger
than they are at the waist, thereby pro
dueing a very elegant effect. These
necessarily are rarely to be seen In
real stones, but sets of them are be
ing sought In old French paste, which
produces as brilliant an effect as real
diamonds and can scarcely be detect

Inventing new ornaments or fresh

make use of very long ropes of pearls,
since It became less fashionable than
it was a few years ago to wind then
round and round the throat, has been
a problem to the wealthy possessor of
such baubles that has at last been an
swered. A string of pearls twisted
twice around the throat and then loop
ed in front on the low corsage, with
fastenings here and there composed of
Jeweled brooches is, comparatively
speaking, an old tale. The latest adap

jewels at the hack of the corsage as
well as In the front, and If the strings
are here and there composed of Jew

SCALeIn STEAM BOILERS.
i fiiNldrm (ion of Some of the Bene
fit* DerinMe From It.
From the Engineering News.
Is scale In steam boilers a benefit
or an Injury? That It Is generally as
sumed to be the latter we are well
aware, and there Is no doubt, of course,
that the scale which forms in boilers
using hard water ts a very great nui
sance and one which Involves large
expense In curing for It. But sup
pose, for the sake of argument, that
liollers were supplied with water ab
solutely free from mineral matter, let
us say with rain water or distilled wa
ter. Would not the troubles that
would be experienced fur exceed those
that are now caused by scale? To put
the question In unother Jorm. t* hot
the scale which forms In steam ball
et fed with fairly pure water really a
benefit in protecting the Interior of
the bailor from the rapid eorroslon
which would otherwise take place?
In a paper by Mr. M. IS. Wells, chief
holler Inspector of the Burlington and
Missouri J'.lver Railroad, Ihe fact Is
pulntd out that boiler tubes piled out
doors snd exposed to the weather rust
out faster than tubes Inside a holler.
The statement Is made by Mr. Walls
that perfectly pure water Is the most
corrosive that Is put Inside s boiler,
and, finally, he expresses the opinion
that “nature has provided Intrusting
fust ter In tester that the Inside of the
dwell of bolter* may be cottted eltli
a layer of |t, and thus be protested
Iti mii oxidation, ”
til# fn#* • w* Hi*# likln **
Hni Mur# tMNFii m* tmi l* in
Uwelwjit nj W* 4v
by this that the fact that holler scale
protects from corrosion has not been
noted, and put on record, but that the
general Importance of scale In boilers
as a protection and preservative has
never been recognized by any of those
who have studied steam boiler con
struction and written treatises upon It.
Very likely many engineers will
question the soundness of Mr. Wells’
statement above quoted, hut there
seems to us to be much evidence In Its
support. We know that boiler shells
which have been In service for yeas
when protected from exterior <-orroslon
often shows scarcely any diminution
1n thickness, whereas If the same ma
terial were immersed in a river or
pond it would be rusted very rapidly.
Again, practical experience has shown
that boilers in which rain water alone
Is used have given troulble from In
ternal corrosion, and R has been fre
quently ascribed to acid gases absorb
ed by the water from the air. But. may
not the true explanation be that no
scale Is deposited by snoh water to
protect the metal surfaces?
The question may be asked of what
special benefit would be a general
knowledge of the protective power of
scale. One benefit might be the more
Intelligent care of boilers. Many large
power plants are now using the same
feed water over and over again by the
use of surface condensers or cooling
towers. There will usually be suffi
cient make-up water used In such
plants to protect the boiler surfaces,
yet there may be cases where internal
corrosion Is going on unknown to those
In charge of the plant.
Another field that has never been ex
ploited Is the possible use of scale to
protect other metal surfaces than boil
ers from corrosion. Any one who has
tried to remove calcium sulphate scale
from boiler flues or stays knows with
what tenacity It will often adhere. It
might be practicable to treat various
metal articles, such us fence posts or
