Several oilier" arrived here , within t'ae last 19 days. It ia believed their cargoea are Intended for Port Arthur. The British ttolller Foxton Hall has tram flftrred her mrgo of CardiC cl la the German steamer Eric,, which the local aathorittea would not allow to leave ntii given assurance that no attempt would be made to enter Port Arthur. The Erica aalls at daylight and Japan Is given as her destination, but it is believed that she will ultimately make for Port Arthur, where the Russians are offering stupendous Inducements tor the delivery of coal. S. Davidson, an American merchant who had a Rus sian coal contract and was ordered to leave Port Arthur on February 15 last, is now at Tsingtau. v He tells the As sociated Press correspondent that when ae left, there was less than 200,000 tons of coal there. ' On account of the Russian warships having been compelled to keep up full steam day and night for nearly eight 1 months and the enormous quantities af fuel required for the water condens ing plant, there must be s coal fam- there now units more coal has arrived. TU Japanese have siucs then cut ff toe water supply, when the garri n woald have to depand entirely apoa 4Bt aondenaer.

Instead of occupying a gorgeous suite of rooms, as might he expected she and her sister together hud a small bedroom on the top floor of the hotel without even a maid to wait on them. Her diet was as. simple as her dress and correspondingly i'hisi:. It seems to he the definite plan of her mother and her legal guardians to bring her up as though she were des tined to be the wife oS some poorly paid employe In her own works in stead of the most desirable matri monial prtie In the world. Kleven months of the year she spends at her quiet home at Essen, and the re maining month Is passed at some re mote watering place unknown to the fashionable world, where she Is sur rounded by the same circle as at Fs- sen. By the side of any American girl of her age, Miss Krupp would appear to the casual onlooker to be an Insig nificant and decidedly second-rate young person, devoid of all the ur and graces conspicuous In her sex i the western side of the Atlantic.

Miss Bertha Krupp, eldest daughter af the lata Friedrlch Alfred Krupp, is 'fee richest girl In the world. After the sudden death of her father a oouple of years ago, she became al aiost the sole owner of the renowned Krupp works at Essen, which sup plies all the countries of the globe with their armaments of war. Her younger sister, Barbara, had to be con tent with "a younger son's share." The A List of the Presideats. (By M. O'B.) Columbia's great and noble son. The patriotic Washington.

Her annual income must he at least J20.000.000. In her personal appearance, manners Be victor on election day. and mode of life, Miss Krupp betrays nothing of her Immense wealth and colossal possessions. Although the wars of the world depend on the supply of arms and ammunition supplied by her worts, and although the entire city of Essen, numbering over 100,000 in habitants, is her own private property, she is the most modest, unassuming young lady Imaginable, Her mode of life is the extreme form of simplicity. She is badly dressed, wears cheap hats which the modern do mestic servant would scorn, lll-flttlng dresses -of provincial cut and shoes of unmistakably provincial shape. In her modest villa at Essen she leads a se cluded provincial life, remote from the social gaieties of great cities and de pendent for her impressions of the great outside world on the dull society of her widowed mother and the mediocre old men who form the committee of man agement of the Krupp works. JShe has none of the accomplishments of the 20th century young woman and is as bash ful In the presence of a young man as any rustic maiden of bygdne ages. When Miss Krupp appeared at Kiel in June to attend the unveiling of a monument to her father by the Ger man emperor, she wore a shabby straw hat and a still shabbier, dress of the cheapest cotton material. The total value of her outfit was estimated by the female spectators present to be barelv 15. During the whole of the Kiel week she was conspicuous among the throng of persona of social prom inence and great wealth who congre gate there by the remarkably bad taste and pear ijusllty of her costumes which remained the same from day to day, -while all the other ladies In evidence Pears' No impurity in Pears' Soap.
