Efforts of Red Guard to Promote
Strike Not Favored.
RUSSIA ALONE CONCERNED.
The SL Petersburg correspondent of
the London Titres says that the Finnish
Senate and the members of the Consti-
tutional party in Finland do not favor
insurrection. Senator Michelin, head of
the Government, le hastening home
through Stockt slta from a visit to Nor-
way. Ile says that the effort of the lied
Guard to promote a strike nre not receiv-
ing much support. Ile considers that
the insubordination of the Svcahorgl
garrison only concerned the Russian
government. Any participation in the
mutiny by Finns would imperil their
liberties. Senator Michelin's views are
confirmed by an appeal issued by an
assembly of citizens at Helsingfors, urg-
ing the populace to assist the authorities
In maintaining order and directing that
Koch, the leader of the Red Guard, be
arrested.
The correspondent points out that the
Red Guard, which is a strange combin-
ation of the Teetotal League and the
.Workmen's Militia, is assumed to be
acting purely in sympathy with the Rua -
Bran revolutionists, for Finland has
just received the most democratic form
of government in Europe.
IiLAME GRAND DUKE ALEXANDER.
A despatch from Lcndon says: The
revolutionary outbreak of Russian sail-
ors and gunners combined with the
Finnish Red Guard, was provoked
largely by the activity of the Grand
Duke Alexander Michaelo•Itch, who for
two months has held a special command
et the Russian forces employed In pre-
venting gun -running through Finland.
The Russian occupation'of the Aland
Islands, and the restlees movements of
a Russian torpedo fleet around the Fin-
nish coast, both angered, through the
heavy mirk, the men employed In it,
and grrrnntly embittered the Finnish re-
volutionaries. Tho Russian officers had
en almost hopeless task. One of thein
says that In the garrison artillery that
Is spread among Riese islands there is
only one officer to 280 men. _lie him-
self says he has seen some of his men
only once in two months, when they
came to get their pay. The Grand
Duke Alexander has not gone to the
fleet at Sveaborg. Ile remains In his
Summer residence.

KING AND KAISER TO MAKE UP.
Corning Conference Takes Added Inter-
est Froin Russian Crisis.
A London despatch says: The an-
nouncement that king Edward and
Emperor William are to meet within a
few weeks Is the best possible news
that could come to the political world
at the present time. 1t signifies, at
(east, the mutual desire of the two most
pewerful rulers in Europe to bring to
an end their long personal and political
estrangement, which has been the most
dangerous feature of the crisis created
by the destruction of the balance (1
power. Few know how deep and bit-
ter has been this antagonism between
the two monarchs. Both, of course,
have been too wLse to give it any
direct expression. There has been, in
fact, absolute non -intercourse between
uncle and nephew for a long time.
The policy of each, however, has
been directly opposed to that of 'the
other. King Edward has striven, thus
far with consummate success, so to
combine the European Powers that
Germany should lind it impossible to
gain any considerable advantage from
Russia's impotence. Emperor William's
efforts have been aimed ' chiefly, al-
though In mast cases indirectly, against
British interests. Tho result of this
diplomatic duel has been to preserve
thus tar Iho status quo in Europe.
One great peril still threatens. Any
day Russia may be plunged into revolu-
tion. The problem of the attitude of the
two powers on her western border Is a
grave one. A conference between the
King and Kaiser on the eve of this
emergency is the greatest safeguard to
peace that could bo given. it is under-
stood that the interview will be on the
Kaiser's Initiative. This Is a hopeful
augury. They will have other things to
discuss also. Prominent among these is
the attitude of the powers toward the
Mohammedan unrest. 'Chis danger
could be entirely eliminated by a com-
plete agreement between these two men.
The approaching interview. Indeed,
may easily be of epoch-making impor-
tance to all mankind. Civilization could
ask no greater boon than a full under-
standing between the British King and
German Emperor.

Twenty -iso Seemed Ripeness Once -
i Il In All, It's a Hard
Problem.
I have reached that stage 1n life's
pilgrimage at w hich a Milli calls him-
self middle aged ; 1f in company, rather
ostentatiously, nut so much in the man-
ner of ono hoping for contradiction as
inviting it ; the stage at which, if it he
implied in general conversation that he
is no longer young, he requires a few
serious moments in which to collect
his thoughts before he draws attention
to the implication with unnecessary in-
sLstence, and cordiully indorses it,
writes Archibald Marshall in the Lon-
don Mail.
There was a time, not so man;
years ago --as years go now --When f
thought tint 23 was a very ripe age. I
still thought so, years aftet'tvard, when
I reached it myself ; for an undergra-
duate in his third year looks upon a
freshman as immeasurably his junior,
and is oppressed with some of the
weightiest cares of manhood. Ile knows
the menning of a financial crisis and
has serious thoughts of marriage.
At 23 my temperature had gone down
and I felt younger, but continued to
look upon 30 as tiro age at which 1
should be able to save money on clothes
and grow a beard If 1 felt so disposed,
as nobody could bo expected to cure
what a person at that time of life looked
like.
At 25 I reckoned that I had about six
more years of pleasurable existence be-
fore me, and at the end of that period
it would not matter In the least whether
I were rich or poor, so I had better
hurry up and
MAKE SOME MONEY.
Six years, or possibly .seven, as 1
seemed to be wearing ruther better
than some. of my contemporaries.
At 27 I gave myself eightmore years.
1 knrw men of 35, active and still pre-
sentahle ; in fact -why shirk the word
-young. But, while admitting this,
not without it measure of self -gratula-
tion at being able to assign myself a
few extra years of sentient existence, 1
felt it was useless to dally with the ques-
tion any further and that 35 must bo,
and remain, the limit.
So I continued to think until I my-
self came in the course of nature to tho
age of 35, not, however, without ser-
ious qualms at 32 and 33, when I telt
as young as possible, but said to myself
that it could not be expected to last
much longer.
Let me see! Was It at 35 that 1 left
off using Flowers and Honey for the
hair? I think so. I really want to get
to the bottom of this question, and that
might be a pointer. I will considerIt
later. They still say that my hair
waves, and I fully believed that what is
left of it does ; and they still please me
by saying so, though 1 feign indiffer-
ence. (The ladles, 1 mean -not crude-
ly, as it were, in frontal attack, but in-
cidentally, when they aro sizing up the
points of my very small son. and com-
paring his personal appearance with
mine. not invariably to his advantage.)
But it really did wave like anything ten
years ago; and, without resorting to
illegitimate compnislon, 1 took care that
it should wave to advantage. Now I
just
young fellows in the twenties very eel-
dtin think it necessary to put Mr. be-
fore my name, and 1 still feel at ease in
their company, though 1 prefer that cf
the rather older young nen of about
any own standing. Away with splitting
of hairs, and away v.•itlt false modesty!
Whatever may be said of 45, youth has
not ended at 39, and 1 hold to that
ui,inion against all opposition.
Y.S.--1 have just overheard a subal-
tern with whom 1 had a slight difference
of opinion at the club yesterday, In
connection with a diamond declaration,
giving a highly colored account of the
episode to a companion in arms. 1 did
not hear distinctly all he said, but 1
caught the expression, "Silly old fool."
I am not seriously annoyed, but I do
not feel quite so certain about 39.
b'.i'.S.--]t has just occurred to me
that the words I overheard were proba-
bly applied to one of our opponents at
the table who took very little part in the
discussion. They would be more appli-
cable to him, as he was 40 last week.
Let It stand.
INDi.1N TREASURE TROVE.
Ancient Silver Coles Found by Children\A hila at Play.
The small village of Jogaltembhi, In
the Bombay district, is likely to earn
transient fame among numismatists
and archaeologists by reason of the
accidental discovery within its limits
of a great hoard of very ancient coins.
The place of concealment of the coins
was found by children while at play.
Excavation disclosed an earthen pot
firmly Iinbedded in the hillside and
filled to overflowing with silver coin,
much of which the villagers proceeded
in the true commercial spirit to melt
down. But the story of ,the find spread
further than the limits of Jogaltembhi;
and within a short time the balance of
the treasure, about 10,000 coins, had
rightly found a resting place in the local
treasury under the Treasure Trove Act.
The coins are all silver, of approxi-
mately the same size and type. On the
cbserve appears the head -of the king
who struck them -a Ane face, despite
the defects of the die, marked by a
broad eye, a splendid nquiline nose, and
a firm chin, with just a suspicion of
thickness about the lips. Around die
head runs a legend In ddbased Greek
characters, which Prof. Rapson, but
lately appointed to the vacant chair of
Sanskrit at Cambridge, and the tato
PundtBhagwanlal indrajl declare to ne
a traslileration of a bilingual legend in
the reverse of the coin. Tho coins aro
those of Nahapana, the founder of tho
dynasty of the Western Kshatrapas
which ruled over a considerable portion
of western India from A. D. 119 to A. J.
388.
Although several specimens of the
coins struck by Nahapana's successors
(e. g., Chnstann and Rudradaman) have
been found, only a few bf Nahaputa have
hitherto come to light at Nasik, Ju►a-
gadh and Matiumdebad; and those were
by no means such good specimens a;
these of Jogaltembhi, which, safely pre-
served within their earthen casket, have
defied the adverse influence of nigh
eighteen centuries.
DIP A BRUSiI iN WATER,
and if it likes to wave after that it Is at
liberty to do so. If not, 1 do not care.
Honestly, I do not.
At 35, then, 1 claimed middle-nge, but
without showing the lenst resentment
when the claim was disputed, or, in-
deed, feeling any. i must confess,
however, that by That time 1 had come
to cherish the secret conviction that 40
was after all the natural dividing line.
It was only out of deference to the cal-
low opinions of youths still in the
twenties that there was any question
nboul the matter at all. Why. when 1
was 36 I heard someone say that 1 was
a clever young fellow. it was a man of
40 who said it, and although he was one
whose opinions I had despised up to
that time, still, 1 think, thnt on the
whole, he probably knows what he is
talking about.
Nov 1 nm not so sure about 40. 1 am
inclined to think That 45 would be near-
er the mark. Mind, i do not wish it to
be thought for a moment that i am 40
myself. Sueh a suspicion would do me
a great injustice . No, 1 am still in the
30s, and shalt be for a considerable
tune, probably unlit after This article
appenrs in print. But, still, I wish to
consider the question impartially, and 1
it Is really absurd to pretend that the
difference between a man of 42 or 43
and a man of. say. 39%, Is so very
marked. And, 11 this Is so, it is nb-
vfoas Ihn( another two years added
cannot nffect the matter either one way
or the other.
Well, at present, then, f am Inclined

"A11 these symptoms, taken together,
c. uld not beshanuncd unless the pris-
c:ner is one of the most remarkable a3 -
lets That ever lived."
This was the report of a commission
which, atter hearing the testimony of
four medical experts who had made the
usual tests, declared, nearly live years
ago, that Martin J. Tighe, who had
murdered his wife, was insane. On this
r, port he was sent to the New York
State Asylum for the Criminal Insane,
in Matteawan, where he recently was
declared to have recovered, and was
taken back to New York city and placed
on trial for his crime.
If the members of that commission
were any better judges of acting than
they were of insanity, then Tighe sure-
ly is a great actor, for he heard, unwov-
ed, the other day, the story of how he
had deceived the commission as well
as the four alienists who had examined
him, and all who heard it were Impress-
ed with the fact that a severe blow had
been struck at ttte plea of insanity as
A DEFENCE FOR MUI(DEIt
and at the reliability of the findings of
medical experts.
When Tighe and his lawyer had list-
ened to the revelations they held a short
consultation, at the end of which the
lawyer, Lewis Stuyvesant Chanter. of-
fered to plead guilty of manslaughter In
the first degree. This was accepted, and
Recorder Goff, without delay, sentenced
Tighe to imprisonment for nineteen
years and ten months, the maximum
penally.
Tighe shot his wife in June, 1901, and
a commission was appointed to inquire
into his sanity. As the usual tests were
made; needles pierced his skin without
seeming to arouse sensation, it was no-
ticed there was a general tremor of the
muscles; the skin was dry and rough,
and there were many other signs which
seemed to indicate insanity. Upon the
commission's report tie was committed
to the Matteawan Asylum in December,
1901.
Rcently, upon his own motion, he was
released on habeas corpus proceedings.
and then it was declared he had recov-
ered sufficiently to be placed on trial
for the murder of his wife. The trial
began last week, and the defence was
that Tighe was insane at the time or
the murder. Dr. Jacoby, one of• those
who had examined hiin before ttie com-
mission, testified that ho believed Tighe
was
INSANE TIIEN AND INSANE NOWesee.
The defence had closed its case, and
with the opening of court Mile remained
bu the calling of some witnesses in re-
buttal by the prosecution.
"Andrea Cuoco," called out Mr. Gar -
van when the trial was resumed, and
those who were watching Tighe saw Bis
face blanch and his lips compress. Ile
knew what was corning, It his lawyers
did not, but he never said n word to i►ie
lawyer then. Cuoco had been brought
down frorn Sing Sing, where he had
been for five years, having been con-
victed of murder in the second degree
for the killing of Bella Zazire.
in broken English the Italian said he
was in the Tombs awaiting trial when
Tighe was brought in. He said he was
going to feign insanity, as that was the
only way he could escape the electric
chair.
For a time Tighe had his food sent
in, but he slopped this rind pretended
he would eat nothing, not even the pri-
son fare. but all the time he would eat
part of Cuoco's fond. Then he showed
Cuoco, one day, two dozen lemons and
some honey, which lie said had been
trought to him by his mother. Ile rniz.d
the lemon juice and the honey and drank
it, saying this would produce the !refills.
ling and nervousness peculiar to insane
persons. At other times he would ha✓e?-aw
a liniment, which he also said was
brought to him by his another. Ile mixed
he and Cuoco would rub over his burly,
the effect being to rob his skin of As
moisture, making it hard and dry, an-
other aymptoni noticed
IN DEMENTED PERSONS.
He always knew, according to the
witness, two or three days before the
ooctors were to call on him, and lhts
treatment he Increased at these times,
esen refusing to eat anything or to
sleep during the night, that he might
be weaker and more nervous when the
physicians exmnined him.
Atter the examination he would tell
Cuoco he was deceiving the physicians
1 eyonrl his hopes. Ile would laugh as

straight into the wall, to give them tie
impression that he could not see, and
how ho would tell wild stories to thee].
Mrs. Tighe denied that she had token
liniment or honey or lemons to her son.
When eentenee eves pronounced she (ell
in a faint.
Much as those who heard the remark-
able story were surprised that he should
have been successful in deceiving the
commission and the medical experts, ''n
cne could understand how he could
t'.ave continued to feign insanity n11 the
years he was in the Mattenwnn Asylum,
where lite closest watch is kept on the
inmates, tnnny of whom are to be
brought to trial when an Improvement
