THE REVENGE OF A FIEND
Joseph Liston Tried to Burn a Store Full
of women.
1
A despatch from New York says: did not know this tho salesw•onan
When Joseph kistnn, alias James
O'Brien, was sentenced last September
to nine months on Blackwell's Is'and t ,r
hurling a stone through the plate glass
window of the Borlin department stave
at Broadway and Willoughby avenue,
Will.anlsburg, he swore he would Lc
revenged.
On Tuesday afternoon Liston walked
into the dire, his term having exp'irei
at noon time. Ile went to the lace cur-
tain department. Ile did not look like
a mon who knew anything olein lace
curtains. Ile asked one of tho saleswo-
men to shoe •him some curtains. The
saleswoman (wiled around to take from
a shelf a lox of curtains when she
heard the noise of the striking of a
match. it is ,against the rules of the
store to smoke, and Thinking the man
whirled around to tell him he must put
cut his cigar or cgarottc. To her bur-
r ee site sitw the man had thrown a
ligh'ed match among a lot of lace cur-
tains on the coun'er. 'There was a flick-
er and the curtains blazed up. Em-
ployees, hearing the saleswoman s
screams, managed to crush out the
blaze, and then they pounced en Liston.
There was a desperate tight, but they
bore him to the floor.
There were hundreds of shoppers in
the store, mostly waren, and on hear-
ing the screams they made a dash 'or
the stairs and doors. They were head -
td off, however, and a panic averted.
\Vhen some of the women learned that
Liston 11n(1 tr.ed to set tiro to the store'
they tried to reach hien, and but. for tho
piesenco of several policemen he would
have been roughly handloi.

Tho following Ls taken from the ex-

"Tho desertion of wife and children
by the responsible head of Iho family
c•.nenuos to be one of the most prolific
causes of dependency. Publi; institu-
tions in all parts of the country aro
overcrowded with this class, and in ad-
dition to the misery caused by these
cruel desertions, the burden of expense
thrown unfairly upon the charitable
public is simply appalling. No effort is
made to bring these men back and com-
pel them to do their duty, and even
when they remain in town they aro al-
lowed an order of separation in the
pertice court that frees them from ro-
spcnsibility,
"Many children go astray because
their another's aro widows or deserted
wives wmpel'e! to go out working and
thus Dave the young people to their
cwn devices. This fact is emphasized
almost hourly in every office where the
problems connected with nogleoted or

faun the weird strain of a gypsy :ong
writ s a St. Petersburg correspondent.
For \\'ialeewa, a few years ago a hum
bre servant in the Trevinco of Warsaw,
without known mother or father, is to-
day the idol et [tussis. the most fain-
eus of the gypsy singers who preivido
enjoyment for the gilded youth of the
land of the czar in tho restaurants of
St. Petersburg. More than that, \Vialsa
w'a is the heroine of the Rues, -Japanese
war, and therein rests her papularty
with the Russian &old:er.
WiaLsowa has a charm which has
made men offer fortunes to have her
repeat a song. It is not in her graoefui
figure and pretty face, In her golden
dress studded with stones, or in her
dyed hair, or even her leauliful voice.
It is intang.b'o, in'oscrlbab'e. But it :e
there. She is the sort of woman ono
reads a' out in novels, but rarely mals
1n a bfet!me.
SIZE LEAVES THE KITCHEN.
Ten years ago \Vlatsewa was a ser-
vant on a country relate in the province
of Moscow. Nobody knows madly who
her parents were. She had grown up
in the village without either mother or
falh-r, and when 16 years old went to
serve at the manor house. Sho had a
leautiful voice and sang the Russian
folk rungs.
One day a young officer came to visit.
Ills name way \Via'.sew and his regiment
was in Petersburg. Ile fell in love with
Vera and asked her if she would like
to make a caroor as a singer In a gypsy
chorus in Petersburg. The girl, who
felt restless in th' manor, agreed. They
went to the capital together and \Vinl-
eew paid for her to have singing les-
sons. Then ho got her a gypsy chorus
and asked his friends to supper it a cer-
tain restaurant in the "Isles,' a part of
Si Petersburg given up to pleasure,
where night is turned Into day.
SIZE CAPTURES ST. PETERSBURG.
\\'hen Wialsew invited ft'a guests Vera
was the principal singer. She was beau-
tiful), dressed in a gypsy costume and
Ler dark hair was then undyed. People
still speak of that evening with enthu-
siasm. Vera sang song atter song, and
stilt
though the night 1
L g ertgu:enoJ into
morning, her listeners had not enough.
They covered her plate with gold and
Legged her to sing on.
Next evening all the frequenters of
tho "Isles" were clamoring to hear the
r,ew singer and fabulous sums wore of-
fered by rival supper givers to obtain
t.:er servOes. Before many weeks were
past Vera sang with her bxd:ee covered
with jewels. All St. Peterab,trg was at
her foot. Grand dukes vied with each
• •r for her favor, and it was whis-
1 that the czar himself had heard
was enemorod. \Vinl:ew tegan to
e lues of his rivals. He begged Vera
(•ave all this and go away with h m
t) some quiet place where they would
be alone. She eensen'ed and for a while
Vire disappeared from her old haunts.
But her gypsy nature could not bear the
monotonous life of \Vinlsews oountry
house and she was soon in St. Peters-
burg again.
Some say that he Then followed her

beria with all the magnIteero and ho-

Iter arrival In Manchuria was hailed
Mg if it were some victory over the Ja-
pante?. All the wealth she had gained
en her way she immediately gave to bo
d•stributal amongst the sick and wound-
ed soldiers. She went to the hospitals
and sang to the men there. Generals
said her presence near a camp did more
to raise the morale of t•ff cern and men
than anything elms. These same gen-
erals threw all the money they had at
Win'sewn:s feet.
Her hit -band diel from the (fleets of

BAK CLERK SANK TO DEATH
Was Steering Yacht Near Ottawa When
He Was Swept Overboard.
A despatch from Ottawa says: W. A.
Green, aged 21, of Dartmouth, Nova
Scotia, who has been a teller in the
Union Bank hero fur the past year, was
the victim of a pathetic yachting acct.
tent on Lake Deschenes, 9 miles from
Ottawa, on Wedn.sJay afternoon.
Greet and Mr. and Mrs. Laidlaw,
their two sons, and 11tss Browder
made up a nteiry party wh ch left Ayl-
mer in a yacht in tho nt.,rning and
sailed across the lake to Shirley Bay.
On the return trip in the afternoon tho
yacht was running free before a heavy
breeze, and Green was standing on U.o
crock handling tl:e tiller. Suddenly the
mates -el jibiel and Green was swept in-
to the Lake by the booth. A lila preserver
was thrown to him, but he failed to get
it and bolero the yacht could be brought
about, ho had sunk.
Miss Breeder, who was Groon's flan-
cee, became hysterical and subsequently
unoonscieus, and was revived with dlf•
nculty after the arrival of the yacht at
Aylmer. Groon's body has not been
recovered.

Arundel Castle, the Duke's state
Suetsex home, dates from the time
King Alfred, who mentioned it in h

the prmont Duke, the fifteenth, h
spent at least 85,000,000 more. 'I'

Only Two Have Been Winners in Great
English Turf Evet.as.
Probably no owner ever had such a
persasteit run of bud luck as his Ma-
jesty durst g the early years of his rac-
ing career. At his first modest appear-
ance on a racecourse, thirty-seven years
ago, ill shorse Champion had the mis-
fortune to fall eat'ly in the race, and al-
though he made a game effort to mower
est ground he could only finish second.
Six years later --at his eoond appear-
anoe-fit the Newmarket July meeting,
his horse Alep was badly beaters by i.ord
Strnthnairns Avowal, and it was not
until 1880 that lonnidas Ii., ridden by
Capt. Wentworth Hope -Johnstone, soor-

Six years more elapsed, making fif-
teen years in all from his racing debut,
be[oro the royal colors were carried to
victory for the first time in flat racing,
when, amid a sono of great enthusiasm,
Counterpane, ridden by Archer, won a
maiden plate at Sandown.
