MUST SURRENDER Defeat at Mukden is Believed Will End the War THIRD BATTLE OF THE WAR For th Third Time Kuropstkin Has Been Outgeneraled and Outfought by the Superior Tactics of the Japanese Forces Showing Their Superiority. Tokio, March 11. The Intelligence did not mu'h St. Petersburg that the Russian center had been broken, or if it did reach there it was kept a pro found secret With the lengthening of the Japanese line by the enveloping movement, it wa hoped at St. Petersburg tout Kuropatkin would be able to concen trate his troops and break through some weak spot in the cordon; but the hope has not been realized, as he was unable to take the offensive. The scouts of both wings of the Japanese army were in touch 40 miles north of Moukden, which practically brought the horns of thj Japanese crescent to gether and completed the envelop ment of the Russian army. If this Is the case, the Japanese will soon be in j possession of the railroad, leading from Moukdei to Harbin and the Russian line, of retreat wil be severed, Thai means either the annihilation of Kuro patkin's army or Its surrender. If it refuses to surrender, only fragments of it can hope to escape. A defeat of that kind was decisive, of course, and Oyama has evidently planned that it shall be so. This is the third time for the two armies to engage in a pitched battle under these two leaders. At Liao Yang Kuropatkin was forced to retreat after ten days' hard fighting. He succeeded then in balking envelopment, which the Japanese attempted, and he ex- IN SOCIETY CIRCLES. Beginning of Lent Cut Out Many So cial Functions. Mi s. K. K. Kstes. mot nor of lr. t. H.

The advent of winter forced both armies to suspend active hostili ties and intrench. Then came the fall of Port Arthur and the release of the army of investment to re-enforce Oyama. Meantime. Kuropatkin re ceieved large additions from Siberia and Russia, and, when the baltle of Moukden began eight days ago with the opening of an early Manohurlan spring, each commander mustered be tween 300.000 and 400.000 men. with from 1200 to 2000 guns. But for the third time Kuropatkin has evidently been outeeneraled and outfought, and the disaster to his army is apparently I overwhelming. It ought, therefor, to bring peace. prizes.

Hamburg, March 11. Is the tinier of a pearl in an oystcrshell served in a restaurant entitled to it or does it beling to the proprietor of the restau rant. The first bench of the superior court here has taken the question un der consideration. The facts as told in court are that a woman beginning her dinner at a restaurant with oysters bit on something hard and took a piece of pearl out of her mouth. Afterward a jeweler offered the woman $150 for the pearl and the proprietor of the restaurant claimed the gem.

When such is the case tbey bad better cut out business and society for a time and come down to mush and milk and first principles. Don't be foolish. Eat less and play more. Indulge in less fret and fume and more fruit and fun. There are people too indolent to be healthy literally too luzy to live. Work your brains and keep in touch with people. Do something for others and forget yourselves. There is nothing s Inane and detrimental to mind mid health as the conversation of people on their aches and pains and troubles The froth of whipped eggs is a tonic compared to it.
