A young notary of Baklunont, Russia, fell in love with a lady's maid and arreuged to marry her.. His parents opposed the mar liege, and the young couple determiuetl to die together.

But the wizeelinan, like most of his brothers, was game. .-He :appealed, and the case weut to the Court of Appeals, where the Supreme Court decision was torn to pieces and the right of the bicyclist' to carry his wheel was finally established on the ground that those vehicles whose wheel came directly in con- tact with the bridge could alone come under the toll. Some very eerie stories are being told in: Paris and London papers about recent hypnotic t2 y c ex erituents in the Former eft The most remarkable of these plaiu "ac- counts of scientific facts" are about certain weird experiments by Dr, Luys, at the Charite Hospital, on the "exteriorization" of the human body. One woman subjeec's corporeal hodywas so completely exterioriz- ed that Dr. Luys was able to transfer her sensibility Into a tumbler of water, The tumbler was •taken out of sight of the hypnotized subject and a reporter present was asked to touch the water. He placed his finger in the water and the.woman started as though in pain. The experiment was tried successfully on several subjects. The water retained the sensibility for a consider able time, and if drunk before the sensi- d�bility was exhausted the patient felt into a deadly swoon.

It is written in ink,on hand.madepaper, and the sheets are fastened together with a brass pin. That an enthusiast with a completed petition should have omitted to present it is the only thing that throws doubt on the story. A man in Walla Walla who sand bagged a policeman into insensibility was recom- mended to mercy by the jury, which could not help but convict him, because he was under the influence of liquor at the time, aud "claims that he did not know what he was doing inconsequence," In some Eastern communities, where there is not so much glad freedom in the air, the possession even of a sauclbag is not likely to recommend an individual to any especial merciful consid- eration, A large party of hunters, with a pack of fierce dogs, participated in a coyote drive on the sagebrush plains near Boise, Idaho, last week, which resulted in the killing of over thirty sturdy wolves. Several of the hounds were severely wounded. At one time the hounds cornered four big coyotes in a hollow of a butte, but after a brief, fierce fight, in which five hounds were badly injured, the hunters were glad to give the wolves a chance in the open again. The line warm fur of the coyote makes an ex- cellent winter coat, and to secure this was one of the objects of the chase. A case was reported recently of an engin- eer being killed by his head striking against a sagged telegraph pale as he leaned from his cab widow, and several instances are lately noted of brakemen being swept from the roof of cars by bridges. But perhaps the moat singular accident of this kind occurred in Missouri last week. An engin- eerf o an Iron Mountain i n train was leaning ling out of his cab window passing Williams- ville when he was caught by the mail catches, the iron pole and hook arrangement for catching the mails from moving trains, and pulled clean from his engine, through the window, falling beside the track as his train passed on. He was seriously injured. The peasants of the Russian village of Jagodzints, in Lithuania, wreaked their vengeance on a suspected horse thief recent- ly by setting fire to his dwelling dur- ing the night while he, his wife, mother, and family of five children were within, and burning the whole family to death. The peasants stood around the hut, and when the inmates rushed out they were thrust back into the burning house with pitchforks and sythes. One of the women was murdered outriglztin the attempt to force her back into the flames. The peasants gave themselves up to the Rus- sian police, and will most probadly be im- prisoned for a year and then exiled to an- other part of the country: Bull fighting statistics show that the Spanish sport does not decline. Judging from the taurine statistics bull fighting is not decreasing in Spain. During the pres- ent year the number of first-class bull fights in important cities has been 289, the bulls killed being 1,594; There have also been 307 fights of young bulls (novillos), in which 1.407 were slaughtered. Of the chief fights 26 took place in Madrid, 13 in Sevilla, 12 in Barcelona, and 11 in Valencia. Two men—picadors—were killed ; of the espadas and banderillos sixteen were more or less seriously wounded, In each course from six to eight bulls are killed ; but recently in Madrid, in a fight which extended two days, eighteen were finished off. On some days a dozen horses. ,or even more, are ;gor ed to death. M. Gaudier, a business man of s Pariand d a Mlle.

At Krossen, near Grimma, in Sax- ony, there is an old bridge over the Mulde, John Henry Mack, a young Englishman, at present of Harwich, has had a ten years' experience of life that is worth noting. He left school at 17, enlisted in the British army, and went to India. Five years later he returned to England and married a clergyman's daughter with a fortune of $S0- 000. Mack lost all this playing the races in just two years. Then he became a po- liceman at Watford. A few months after his appointment his wife inherited $4,500. This lasted Mack five menthe. Then, on his wife's good credit he opened a saloon. A eouple of months later he was nettling a pork butcher shop at Colchester on his own ac- count. A little later he was travelling for a clothing firm, and but a very little later still he was in business as a tripe dresser at Ipswich. He had to atone for part of the indebtedness he acquired here by serving a short term in prison. A similar result fol- lowed some business venture, not other- wise referred to, at Malden. His wife died last year and left hiin $1,000, and with this he set up in business last January as a butcher at Harwich. Nine months later at the age of 28 years, he is in the bank- ruptcy court with liabilities of $1,200, and no assets. A REMARKABLE ACCIDENT. -- What Cante or a Womalt with n Stray Wire Around Iler Ankle Entering a Cable Car. A bundle of tangled telegraph wires lying on the ground at the corner of Division and North Clark Street, Chicago, ems the cause of an accident to Mrs. Bertha Mitchell, which may result fatally to her. She was standing at the corner Sunday night wait- ing for a north -bound cable train, and did not notice that her left foot had become entangled in the wire As the cab 1 traine stopped she entered the last trailer through the rear door and was about to take her seat when her attention was called to the wire, which was still wrapped around her ankle. . At the same time the conductor noticed it and made an effort to release her, but the sigual for the train to start had been given. With a violent jerk it shot forward and Mrs. Mitchell was torn from her feet. The conductor sounded "four bells" the signal for an 'instant stop, but there were three trailers to the train and by the time the signal reached the gripman the train had gone forward fifty feet. Several men tried to assist Mrs. Mitchell, but they could net reach her in time. The other end of the wire was attached to a telegraph pole and as it was drawn taut she was thrown forward to the floor of the car with terrible violence. The rear door had not been closed and she was dragged through it and hurled against the end board. Had the train not been stopped then it is probable that the first thing to yield to the tension would have been Mr,. Mitchell's ankle. She was lifted from the car and it was thought best to make no effort, to remove the wire without the aid of a physician. Accordingly it was cut and the woman was carried into the office of Dr. C. McArthur. Dr. McArthur realized at once that the wonnds were of a serious nature, and with great care he unwound the wire. It was found that on the back of Nlrs. Mitchell's leg two deep cuts had been inflicted, one of which laid bare the bone.. Those were im- mediately behind the kneecap, as the wire had slipped up when the car first started: Serious apiaal• injuries resulted from the violence with which Mrs: Mitchell was thrown against the end board of the car, and when she was removed to the residence of her sister she was in a semi-conscious condition Be sure you are left and then go ahead. • The trade of the' auctioneer is a high calling.

'On this night eve had made our cam - Joe and I--odd,the west side of the Salmon •River m6ustains;and on the banks of aci'eek fall" ing into the west fork of the Salmon river. Joe was a half;breed boy about 18 years. old—an honest„ trusty fellow,aud a reliable guide—and just 'then wet had nothing to fear from the Indians.' • • I had been feverish all day, and when I turned in, with my feet ,to the fire and the stars above nte,as about 8 otclock; I was a little bit _flighty. The last I remembered was hearing Joe collecting fuel, for the night. Milia bed had been prepared about, six feet from mine, and he had told me that a whisper would awaken him if 1 needed him during the night. I awoke aboet midnightht with the fe vor gone andell mysenses peculiarlyalert. It seemed as if I could hear better than ever in my life before. Just above us was a riffle in the 'creek, and I heard the waters babbling and caught it splash now and then as the fie uor 1 n a noise h ran upcow . T heard no s in the torest, anknew that a dead limb had fallen. A wolf barked, and I figured it out that be was about half a mile away. There was a rustling among the loaves, and Iabosaidut. to thyself that a mole was ruining Step ! Step !'Step ! If my bead had not been in contact with• the earth I could not have made out the sound. It was faint and light. The horses were lying down,' as Fknew by the sound of their breathing, and when I lifted my head a bit I saw that Joe was wrapped in his blanket. Step 1 Step !Step ! All, T have it now ! . It is the wolf whose bark I heard five minutes ago. The dull glow of our campfire has caught hie eye, and he is prowling about to investigate, He is gaunt and shambling, and atthis sean on of the yearhisfur ' is stained and ragged. e gg He skulks anddodges, advances and re- treats, and now and then his lip drops down to reveal his fangs, There is no fear of him. Even if there were a dozen they would not attack. If I were to sit upright this fellow would drop his tail aud make a bolt for it and not stop running tor a mile. Did I feel the earth jar beside me? No ! If there was any movement at all it was caused by one of the horses raising his head to catch the scent of the wolf. The move- ment of a horse lying down or getting up can bo detected by a man in his blankets 100 feet away. Was that noise made by something being dragged along the earth ? Of course not ! A horse when sound asleep will often move ono of his feet with a scrap- ing motion. A boar may be prowling about and his skull! aknff ! skuff 1 would account for the peculiar sound. "Joe ! Joe 1" The fever has left my throat as dry as tinder, and Isuddenly thirsted. It won'ttako Joe over a minute to fill our coffee pot with fee -cold water at the spring. I don't like to break in on his sleep, but ho can makeup for it to -morrow when left in charge of the camp. "Joe ! Joe 1" He sleeps as lightly as a fox, and, Indian - like, is awake every two hours to see that the fire is all right. I have called twice and yet failed to arouse him. The night is a bit chilly and he may have wrapped his head in the blanket. I will sit up and see. But where is Joe? There is the spot where lie made his bed, but he is not there. I can see clear around the fire, but Joe's form is not in sight. He is not after fuel—he is not at the spring. " doe ! Joe 1 Joe 1" 1 am on my feet as I call. No answer. He would hear me if half a mile away, but there is no response. I go to the spring and drink my fill, and return an 1 heap fuel on the fire and lie down again. Joe is a queer sort of boy. He may have gone down to the Sal- oon to set a couple of traps, or he may have seen Indians pass and followed them. There is no cause to worry. It is sunshine as I open my eyes again. I sit up and look around. Joe is not here. Istand up aud shout "Coo -e -e -e 1" but there is no reply. 1 look down upon the spot where he made his bed, and there is a trail as of some burden being dragged. I follow it, and ten rod away I find pieces of his blanket and blood on the leaves ; at twenty ods the rest of 1 n >e his blanket, torn and bloody. Through a thicket and on the far side of a log I come upon his dead body, or the ghastly remains of it. While I was Lying wide awake, as I have described to you, a panther crept up, sprang upon the sleeping boy and carried him away. I heard only the faint noises I have mentioned, none of theta giving the slightest cause of alarm — none of them loud enough to have aroused a sleeping warrior. The boy had made 'no cry, no struggle. Softly as he had alighted the great cat had struck him dead with one blow ofhispaw. Two of us lay there motion- less and helpless. The panther had his choice: Who can gness'what determined it. .110 More Victims of the Gambling Craze. From Monte Carlo comes the news of two tragic events, in one of which an American was the victim. The. A>nerican, who is de- scribed as 23 years old and of good appear- ance, lost £3,500 belonging to his mother and which she had intrusted to his care. Luck went against hint from the first, and he played wildly in the hope of recouping his loss. When the last gold piece was gone he walked silently out of the Casino, attracting no moreattention, however, than other unfortunate gamblers. Near Vin- timglia, .about eighteen miles from Nice, the distracted young manthrew himself on the railroad track in front of an approach- ing train and was crushed to death under the wheels. Another gambler, whose nationality is not given and whohad lost nearly every- thing in the Casino, took the train ,from Monte Carlo, apparently with the intention of returning home, and shot himself dead with a revolver while on the train. •Tho gambling tables at Monte Carlo are doing a flourishing business. , Very little has been said recently about the discotery of • Dr. Robert Koch of Berlin. His lymph, which was discovered two years ago, has not restored the con- sumptives to full health, as it,was believed that it would, but it is ;not right on this account to,sa,y that it has proved a,failure. Other phystiliane, working upon. the .basis of what he hart accomplished, have; succeed- ed ucceed-ed: in removing the objectionable : charac- teristics of, the lymph, and have been able. to bring his discovery, with certain modi- fications, to boarwith success upon a great number of patients,` whoare afflicted with different forms of tuberculosis. AxrEnglish physician named Hunter and a German. doctor namedKlebs are entitled to .t the credit of removing the a oblec lonable feature from Dr. Koch's lymph, and they are not at all anxious to deprive him of the credit of having been the pioneer in a discovery which is, destined+,to do a"vast amount of good- in the world: Children Cry for Pitcher's Ca$toriai INCLOSED IN ARING OF FIRE. A Party's' Thrlllllt;r Exicrienee In a Conila gratloat on the Prattle. We whipped up the horses' and drove toward the upland, thinking thus to escape. the greatest dan$er, says F. R. Kellogg, in the' St, Nicholas. We reached the high ground before fe meetmo ateum e and we were greatly rejoiced to se that lunch of the grass woe: still fairly green here, though thickly- bestrewn with patches of longer grans that was dry. The fierce flames now approached rushing along with fusions speed, crackling and snap- Ping—the nap-ping the sound alone being sufficient to strike terror to the stoutest heart. Gallop- ing along the line of fire we found that where it otossed it little ravine the flames were not so high, for the grass was quite green there. We dashed through the line of fla'lue, suffer- ing brief tortures of :suffocation and a severe stinging and smarting of our eyes, caused by the intense heat and pungent smoke.` Oneethrougli, we congratulated ourselves on the hope that we should yet escape, for going itt this direction, right in the teeth of tbe.wind, we could travel more rapidly than the pursuing flames.. While passing through the fire I recalled the proverb It's an ill wind that blows nobody good," for just in, advance of the line of flame clouds of sparrows darted here and there, ',etching the hosts of insects started tip by the heat of' the burning, grass. We now heard galloping hoofs and we soon saw twe Indians (Osages) approaching through the smoke. "" Where are you go- ing ?" they asked in their own language. To Gray Horse," our driver replied in the aarnetongue. They told him that the prairie was a mass of flalrte tit that direction and that we must go back. We responded that all was flame in that direction. Notwith- standing the indifference to danger usually ascribed to redskins, these indians showed unmistakable signs of terror. Some further quick informed mthat conversation in o ed us they, like ourselves, had seized an opportunity to penetrate the line of flame, thinking thus to escape, '1\e all were now inclosed in a gradually narrowing ring of fire, To clear the space around us by burning off the grass -to start a " back fire," as it is called—was our only chance for safety ; and this we at. tempted. A large space was cleared before the oncoming fire reached us. We hailed to escape with but singed eyebrows and a few moments of suffocation, and this we would have considered a fortunate deliver. anee. But we found our last chance failing us, Tho back fire we Ind started against the wind had burned only the dry grass, and in doing this had served as a furnace to dry the greener grass. Thus the prairie fire, reaching our burned district, found the greener grans killed and dried, and hence had almost as tnuchfuel as outside. The fire was now close around ata. The varying currents of air heated by the flames whirled and rose, and gnats of cold air rush- ing in to replace the hot air caused a whirl- wind, and a great well of smoke and flame was thus formed, Within this well we stood, as yet uuharntedand with a constant supply of cool air, but expecting death. It was a dreadful moment; the mother and child were crying ; the Indians, with clasp- ed -arms, were calling upon the Great Spirit in it weird chant, Suddenly we felt an unusually strong rush of cold air from one side, and, looking tip, I saw a strange and welcome eight. A long tongue of flame had run toward and into our circular prison from the main .fire, and had burned a ]ane from tate outlying burnt area in to us. Through this lane,form- cd by walls of fire, came rushing in a cur- rent of cold, clear air. This kept the smoke blown away, and we saw plainly the path of escape thus providentially afforded us when all hope seemed gone. A Strange Star. The new star which made its appearance in the constellation of Auriga last year has turned out to be a very puzzling object for astronomers. Among the theories that were proposed to account for its sudden appear- ance was one which ascribed it to the effects of a collision between two or more bodies (or perhaps two or more swarms of meteors) moving in different directions. The heat developed in such a collision would doubtless be sufficient to cause the colliding bodies to with a visible light, and the subsequent fading out of the new star seemed to acord with the hypothesis. It was supposed that after the collision the mysterious bodies separated, travelling on such paths that they could never meet again. But late last summer, considerably to the surprise of many astronomers, it was found thatthenew star, after having become so faint that even the great Lick telescope was bare- ly able are-lyable to reveal its continual presence, had increased in brilliance until the smallest telescope could show it. If the theory of its origin just described is correct, then another collision must have taken place, either be- tween the bodies originally concerned, or be- tween one of them and a new body travel- ling through space in that part of the universe. The problem is complicated by the fact that recent studies of the spectrum of the new star indicate that it is not a real star but a nebula, that is, a mass of matter in the condition of a glowing gas. The result of a collision of solid bodies might easily be the formation of a nebula, because it would only require a sufficient degree and amount of heat to turn the earth itself into a nebulous cloud ; but the puzzling question is, How did ithappen that a second collision took place? For the chance of a single collision occurring among celestial bodies out in the wide expanse of interstellar space is exces- sively small It might be suggested that streams of meteoric masses .are moving through space in the neighborhood of the new star, so that such collisions inay be relatively frequent there, but any suggestion of that kind must be purely speculative. -Inthe meantime, there ,isno doubt:of the reality of the curious fluctuations in the new star. Anybody armed with sufficient telescopic means may see them for hilt- self. imself, Perhaps the discovery of their true cause, when it isaffected, will open up' to our understanding new laws as well as new Wonders in the heavens • Bost Cure All disorders of the " 'droit r ix0i Lungsis Ayer's Cher, ?es/144Y � It has 110equal �. �-f:.a• - as a co �. u r Bro ch llticz, "When I was a boy, Ihart abretvehia1 trouble of such a persistent and stub- born character, that the doctor pro- nounced it incurable with ordinary remedies, but recommended me to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
