"He evidently did not care for the

He would have given a fortune for one
glimpse of her face at that instant.
"I think he said it would be neces

the tnjuuetion of the donor. As I am
more likely to go to Europe than he, I
relieved him of the uecessity and

Ttiere was a long pause, during
-which she attempted to withdraw her
self from his side, her little fingers
struggling timidly beneath the big

"Are you a collector of coins?" she
asked at length, a perceptible coldness
In bcr voice.
"No. 1 am considered a dispenser of
coins. Still, 1 rather like the idea of
possessing this queer bit of money as
a pocket piece. I intend to keep it for
ever and let It descend as an heirloom
to the generations that follow me," be
said laughingly. "Why are you so cu

"Because It comes from the city and

"You have no right to question me,

"1 beg your pardon.' he said tan

"Who?"
"The porter, sir."
"You have no right to question me,"
he said.

The Ruling of the Victoria Judge In
His Case Seems Wrong.
Victoria, B. C, Sept, 2. A new com.
plication is likely to arise out of the
futile application on behalf of George
D. Collins, the San Francisco lawyer,
before Judge Martin yestoruay for ha
beas corpus. Judge Martin admitted
Collins' right, but denied the applica
tion on the grounds of propriety, in
the meantime consigning Collins to
lail for two months, awaiting the hear
ing of the application by a plurality of
the judges.
An eminent judicial authority here
declares that not only had Judge Mar
tin no right to do so, but he bos ex
posed himself to a penalty of five hun
dred pounds, which Is imposed by
Bngll8h law where any Judge denies
the primary rigat involved In a ha
beas corpus application involving the
sanctity of the person of a subject.
Not only that, but It Is claimed also
that It releases the man under deten
tion. THREE JURORS CURED

UT JAPAN WILL NOT CEABE
HOSTILITIES UNTIL TREATY
IS SIGNED.
tt It Stated That the Treaty Will be
Ready for the Signatures by
Next Monday.
Portsmouth, K. H., Sept. 2. An arm
istice has beu signed to take effect
after the signing of the treaty.
The delay in the cessation ot hos
tilities was due to the refusal of Ja
pan to consent to an earlier time.
Portsmouth, N. H., Sept. 2. Japan
lias refused to consent to the cessation
if hostilities until the treaty of peace
is signed. The Russian plonipoten
taries, accompanied by their secre
taries, called on Baron Komura and
Mr. Takihara shortly after noon yes
terday and wore in conference with
thorn for half an hour.
Japan indicated last night through
Baron Komura her willingness for an
armistice. Mr. Witte supposed that
tie would And them ready to sign.
Baron Komura explained that while
his government was ready to consent
to an armistice his instructions were
that this should not take effect until
alter the Bigning of the treaty. The
discussion lasted for half an hour, tho
Russian position being that Japan's
contention was without precedent aud
that if the armistice was not to take
effect until the signing of the treaty
it was practically unnecessary.
The Japanese were insistent and an
agreement was accordingly entered
into providing for an armistice, which
shull take effect the moment the
treaty is signed.

and Baron Komura expect to receive
dual authority to affix their signatures.
The subsequent exchange of ratifi
cations by the two governments will
be simply a formality. Mr Deunison
aud Mr De Martens will meet again
this afternoon The conditions of the
armistice, or rather complete sua
sion of hostilities marking the conclu
sion of the war, will be arranged, ex

ary pending the final exchange of rati
fications It will uot provide fur the
ultimate release of the Russian and
Japanese prisoners of war An article
coveriug the latter subject will be in
cluded in the treaty
The ceremony ot signing "The
Treaty of Portsmouth" will be us
as quiet and unostentatious as possi
ble. Both sides desire to avoid any
spectacular features. Both realize the
treaty will not be popular In their re
spective countries. Iu Japan especial
ly there is cpected to be a great popu
lar outcry.
"We know," said a member of the
Japanese mission, "that we are going
home to stones and perhaps dyna
mite." No arrangements looking to a joint
farewell visit to President Roosevelt
bave been made or even suggested.
"The Treaty of Portsmouth" Is to be
given to the world. There is to be no
secret about it, neither government
having any reason to withhold it. Its
provisions are therefore to he pub
lished broadcast textual ly, but not
immediately. Mr. Sato said to the
Associated Press that it would not be
given out until the final ratifications
had been exchanged by the sovereigns
of tho two countries.
The treaty will be engrossed on the
treaty paper of the American state
department, a peculiarly fine quality
of linen parchment paper. Two of the
caligraphors of the state department
have been sent for to come here and
do the engrossing. It Is officially stated
that President Roosevelt will not come
to Portsmouth to be present at the

THE IDEAL WIFE
Shapes the Destiny of Men The Influence of a

The influence- of women
glorious in the possession
of perfect physical health
upon men, and upon the
civilisation of the world
could never be measured.
Because of them men have
attained the very heights
of ambition; because of

then, to see the fair young
wife's beauty fading away
before a year passes over
her head 1 A sickly, half-dend-nnd-allve
woman,

is a damper to all joyous

The cost of a wife's con

drain upon the funds of a
household, and too often all the doc

If a woman finds her energies are

dark, shadows appear under her oyoB,
her sleep is disturbed by horrible
dreams; If she has, backache, head

ness, whites, irregularities, or despon
dency, she should take means to build
her system up at once by a tonic with
specific powers, such as Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound.
This great remedy for women has
done more in the way of restoring
health to the women of America than
all other medicines put together. It is
the safeguard of woman's health.
Following we publish, by request, a
letter from a young wife.
Mrs. Bessie Ainsley of 611 South 10th
Street, Tacoma, Wash., writes:
Dear Mrs. Plnkham:
" Ever stneo my child was born I have suf
fered, as I uopo fow women ever have, with
inflammation, female weakneos, bearing-down
pains, bucknnhe and wretched headaches. It
auVcted my stomach so that I could not en
joy my moals, and half my time was spent
In bed.
