New Roads in Dalmatia.
By the construction of new roads in
various digtrrcts of the Dalmatian Ri-
viera a magnificent stretch of country
from Zara to the Montenegrin frontier
will be opened up for travel. .Many
roads already exist in places, but with
gaps preventing continuous travel. It is
intended now to bridge these gaps and
make one great highway, linking to-
gether the most picturesque spots along
this coast., The work which is being
done by tbltllf1overnment and the local
authorlties'together is only part of a
general plan, for developing the natural
resources of this part of Austria. The
country is remarkably beautiful, with
many picturesque features, a mild cli-

It is proposed to build first class modern
hotels and provide other attractions for

Persistence of the Russian Police.
The persistence with which the Rus-

illustrated In the cue of Nicholas
Tschaikovsky, who, a short time ago,
wan arrested at St. Petersburg, Tschai-
kovsky was the founder of the first re-
valuntary circle in St. Petersburg, dur-
ing the reign of Emperor Alexander II.
He was arested in 1875 and was to have
been sent to Siberia, but escaped and
event to England, where lie had lived
et'er since, aiding the patriots as well es
he could from such a distance. Some
months ago he visited the United States
in the interest of the patriot movement
in Russia. After his return to England
he became e convinced that it was his
duty to return to Reseda to work for
the cause. He ebtto'ect the Czar's do -
miens well disguised, as he supposed,
but it seems that he lied been dogged by
government spies all the way from Lon-
don, and as noon as he crossed the
R110010d1 border he was taken into cus-
tody. It is feared that he will now
either be put to death or exiled to Si-
beria. The old patriot's misforttnto has
excited pity for him among all friends of
liberty.

Saved Lincoln's Life.
Barry Fletcher Kenney, former super-
intendent of the Philadelphia, Baltimore
& Washington Railroad Company, who is
credited with having saved the life of
President Lincoln when there was a plan
ou foot to assaa0inate Min ht this city,
is dying of pneumonia.
The day after President Lincoln raised
the flag over the State House ho started
on his journey back to Washington.
Rumors of threats to kill Mr. Lincoln
had been. rife for several weeks previous
and extra precautions were taken to pre-
vent any injury to hint.
When all was ready for the train bear-
ing Mr. Lincoln to start, Kenney ordererd
the telegraph wires between this city
and Washington cut eo that no communi-
cation could be had between the would -bo
murderers.
Then, suspecting that possibly the
engineer of the train which was to carry
the President might be in league with
the assassins, Mr. Kenney called him
into his office, He told the enginteir
that the first coach contained a number
of important State papers, which were
to be deliovered intact at Washington,
and ordered flim to see that no one en-
tered the car.
This precaution was taken, and when
Washington was reached, out stepped
Mr. Lincoln from the first coach. In a
few minutes he was safe in -the White
House.—Philadelphia North American.
