at Odessa.
Refugees Tell of Persecution by Rus

Suffered Being Almost Incredi
bleThe Blackest Page In
Russia's History,
New York. Russian refugees,
many of them eye witnesses of the
massacres in Odessa and other Rus
sian cities, disembarked here Monday
from the steamers Patricia and Chem
nitz. Some of them told graphic and
pitiful stories of their experiences.
Jews who had themselves lain hidden
in Odessa houses while mobs searched
for them, Russian workman of the
Christian faith, strikers from the rail
road's, a newspaper reporter and Ger
mans who bad long lived In Russia,
Joined at Ellis Island Immigration sta
tion In declaring that they bad been
attacked Irrespective of religion; that
their assailants were led by police dis
guised in citizen's clothing and that
the massacres were not race persecu
tion, but revolution.
While telling their stories the men
sometimes burHt Into tears, for per
haps half of the entire number had
left behind them wives and children,
who were either dead or defenceless
In Russian cities. One of the men,
Abraham Chanoch, an Odessa tin
smith, toid what he saw of the Odes
sa massacre, from its beginning, when
two rival parades, which were cele
brating the new constitution, met and
began to light. He told how little
children were thrown out of high win
dows; how Russian Christians pa
trolled the streets In large bands pro
tecting Jews, while other bands ot
men pillaged and murdered. Work
men and students, he said, led the
peace party, while disguised police
usually led the hoodlums. After the
first two days he and two companions
escaped from the city.
Two refugees from western RuBsia
said that there the Jew killing was,
started by emptying the Jails of pris
oners, who attacked and stole from
the Jews. The men from the
province of Kovino asserted that the
police themselves read in the em
peror's proclamation of a constitution
an order to kill all Jews and cried
this through the streets.
Canoch said that faces of the dead
on the street were too mutilated for
recognition. Each day the peasants
flock to the towns predicting "the re
volution is coming, and if it does not
arrive today It will tomorrow."
BULL GORES OLD MAN.
Frightful Attack by Supposedly Do
cile Animal.
Fresno, Cal. Before his frantic
grandchildren could drag him from
the bullpen Charles Blsl was gored
in a fearful manner by his bull at
Conejo. Bist Is an old man and fee
ble. The bull that attacked him has
always been regarded as docile until
Monday, when he made a sudden dash
at Blsl aa he entered the pen to lead
the animal to water. (
The animal's horns caught him on
the hips, threw him high in the air,
and as he struck the earth the bull
was on him. He thrust one horn
through the old man's right side and
was goring him about when his grand
children Jumped the fence and
dragged him to safety. Blsl's condi
tion is critical.

Mitchell Not Mentioned.
Washington, D. C An adjournment
of the senate was taken on Monday
without any mention of the late Sen
ator Mitchell of Oregon, and so for
the first time the death of a senator
was permitted . to pass unnoticed by
the senate. The erasure of Mr.
Mitchell's name from the rolls fol

JVA8E THAT IS WORTH 175,000,
ft Is the Portland Vase and New In
British Museum.
Another family treasure of great
raluo which has since passed Into the
Keeping of the nation Is the Portland
yase, now exhibited In the British mu
eum, says the Westminster Gazette
This vase comes from Italy, and what
Its age Is no man knows, though It has
been proved that In 235 A. D. It was
deposited in a sepulcher under the
Monte del Orano, three miles from
Rome, and Is believed to have con
tained the ashen of the Emperor Sev
ems. But, whether or no, Pope Urban
VIII. had It dug up; and for more than
two centuries it reposed In the Bar
berlnl palace at Rome. In 1786 the
duke of Portland purchased it from Sir
William Hamilton for l.O'i guineas
and deposited It In the British muse
um fifteen years later. In 1845 a man
named Lloyd, employed at the mu
seum, picked up a stone and hurled it,
in a fit of frenzy, at the case which
contained the precious relic. The vase
was smashed Into hundreds of pieces,
but with great ingenuity they were all
put together again, and as it now
stands is said to be worth at the very
least 15,000 pounds.
Tennessee Praise.
Dayton, Tenn., Dec. 11th (Special)
Among many prominent residents
to praise Dodd's Kidney Pills Is Mr.
N. R. Roberts of this place. He tells
of what they have done for him, and
his words will go deep Into the hearts
of all ho are suffering In the same
way. v. Av says:
"I was"a martyr to Kidney Trouble,
but Dodd's Kidney Pills completely
cured me. I shall always keep them
on hand in case there should be any
return of the old trouble, but I am
thankful to say they did their work
so well there has not been the slight
est sign of my old complaint coming
back. The pain in my back used to
be terrible. If I got down I had
nara jod to get straight again. But
my back Is like a new one now and I
can stoop as much as I please. I don't
believe there ever was any medicine
naif so good as Dodd's Kidney Pills."

MEMORY PLAYS UNKIND TRICK.
Caused Educator's Inability to Place
Rather Prominent Man.
At a recent dinner of the Geodetic
club Prof. Shaler of Harvard told the
following story on himself: "I still
remember a mental slip I mads nearly
thirty years ago when In Washington
attending a large educational confer
ence. I was alone In the hotel parlor
watting for two of my friends when a
rather short, bearded man entered
and, seeing me, advanced to shake
hands with a cordial, 'Glad to see you.
Prof. Shaler.' At the moment I was
unable to place him and had to con
fess toy Ippse of memory. I explained
that I was meeting so many people
that I could not remember the name
of each, though the face might be very
familiar. He smiled and said he quite
understood and drew out his card. On
it was engraved 'Gen. Ulysses S.
Grant,' and then I understood why his
face was so very familiar."
Vitality.
Keep up your vitality and you will
never know disease of any kind. No
disease can exist where there Is au
abundance of pure blood. To get the
necessary amount, eat nutritious food;
to circulate It perfectly, take proper
exercise; to purify It, get fresh air and
sunshine. If a perfectly healthy con
dition of the skin exists and an even
temperature of the surface of the body
is maintained, It is Impossible to catch
cold. Cold water baths taken every
day will do much towards producing
the former; proper food and exercise
the latter. London Tlt-Blts.
A BRAIN WORKER.
Must Have the Kind of Food
That
Nourishes Brain.
"I am a literary man whose nervous
energy Is a great part of my stock In
trade, and ordinarily I have little pa
tience with breakfast foods and the
extravagant claims made of them.
But I cannot withhold my acknowledg
ment of the debt that I owe to Grape
Nuts food.
"1 discovered long ago that the very
bulklness of the ordinary diet was not
calculated to give one a clear head, the
power of sustained, accurate thinking.
I always felt heavy and sluggish in
mind as well as body after eating the
ordinary meal, which diverted the
blood from the brain to the digestive
apparatus.
"I tried foods easy of digestion, but
found them usually deficient in nutri
ment. I experimented with many
breakfast foods and they, too proved
unsatisfactory, till I reached Grape
Nuts. And then the problem was
solved.
"Grape-Nuts agreed with me per
fectly from the beginning, satisfying
my hunger and supplying the nutri
ment that so many other prepared
foods lack.
"I had not been using It very long
before I found that I was turning out
an unusual quantity and quality ol
work. Continued use has demonstrat
ed to my entire satisfaction that
Grape-Nuts food contains all the ele
ments needed by the brain and nerv
ous system of the hard working public
writer." Name given by Postum Co.

AND HID IN A SWAMP
Dogs Used in Search f- Murderesa,
Whose Clothes Were . i Tatter
and Feet Bleeding Vhen
Captured.
South Norwalk, Conn. Crouched in
the bushes of a swamp, her hair dis
heveled and full of burrs, her dress In
tatters and her feet uncovered and
bleeding, a posse of men found Mrs.
Edward Gustafscn Sunday afternoon,
a maniac.
Mrs. Gustufson is the young woman

her escape to the woods, and large
posses of police and citizens scoured
the country all through the night,
using lanterns and dogs In their hunt
for the demented womaa, fearing she
would return and kill the girls.
Mrs. Gustafson has not spoken since
she was captured. She made no re
sistance, and her mind Is apparently
blank. Gustafson Is dead.

Brazilian Port.
Washington. The Brazilian embas
sy In this city has received a telegram
from Baron de Rio Branco, the minis
ter of foreign affairs, stating that a
few days ago several of the officers of
the German gunboat Panther went

small fishing town called Itajahy in
the state of Santa Catalina, and there,
without any form of process, seized a
man by the name of Setlnhoff, who
had left his native country, Germany,
aa a deserter from the army, and took
him with them as a prisoner on the
Panther. Thereupon the gunboat left
Itajahy and went to another port in
the state of Rio Grande Dosul. The
three Brazilian cruisers, Almlrante
Barrao, BenJ. Constant and Tamman
dare, were sent to watch the Panther
and see that no simtlar occurrences
should again happen, while the Bra
Eilian government made an official
protest against the action of those of
Bcers to the German government.

A Valuable Agent.
The glycerine employed in Dr. Pierce's
medlt.'lne greatly enhances the medi
cinal properties which it extracts and
holds In solution much better than alco
hol would. It also possesses medicinal
Sropert.es of Its own, b!nf a valuable
emuicent, nutritive, antiseptic and anti
ferment. It adds greatly to the efficacy
of the Black Cherry bark. Golden Seal
root, Htone root and Queen's root, con
tained in "Golden Medical Discovery" In
subduing chronic, or lingering coughs,
bronchial, throat and lung affections,
for all of which these agent are recom
mended by standard medio I authorities.
In all cases where there is a wasting
away of flesh, lots of appetite, wilS
weak stomach, as in the early stages of
consumption, there can be no doubt that
glycerine act as a valuable nutritive and
aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root,
Queen' root and Black Cherrybark in
promoting digestion and building up the
flesh and strength, controlling the cough
and bringing about a healthy condition
of the whole system. Of course, it must
not be expected to work miracle!. It will
not cure eonaumption except in its earlier
stages. It will cure very severe, obstin
ate, chronic coughs, bronchial and laryn
geal troubles, ar.d chronic sore throat
with hoarseness. In acute coughs It is
not so effective. It is in the lingering
coughs, or those of long standing, even
when accompanied by bleeding from
lungs, that it has performed Its most
marvelous cures. Send for and read the

ACC0UI1TS FI
POSTAL DEFICIT
Free Matter Handled Repre
sents a Loss of Twenty
- Millions in Revenue.
Postmaster General Is Less Concerned
About Deficit Than the Efficie..iy
of the Postal Department De
ficit for the Year Is Near
ly Fifteen Million
Washington. Postmaster General
Cortelyou, in his annual report for the
past fiscal year, says that, while a
self-sustaining condition of the post
offlco department would be gratifying,
he is less concerned about the deficit
than the efficiency of administration.
For the fiscal year 1905 the total re
ceipts from all sources were $152,
826,585 and the total expenditures
1167,399,169, leaving a deficit of $14,
572,584. In conneoifon with these fig
ures the postmaster general directs
attention to the increased amount of
free matter handled, which, he says,
averaged 12.58 per cent of the entire
weight carried, or a loss In revenue of
$19,822,000.
"Manifestly," he says, "had the mat.
ter carried free been required to have
been prepaid, notwithstanding the
layge expenditures for the rural free
delivery service there would have been
no deficit."
Answering some of the criticisms
which, he says, have been directed
against the postal service, he says that
most of it overlooks the unusual con
ditions existing in this country, its
great extent of territory and its wide
ly scattered population.
Governmental control of the pneu
matic tube service and the mail wagon
service Is recommended.
An appropriation of $10,000 for send
ing three experienced postal officials
abroad to study foreign postal systems
is asked.
