A FESTIVE CZAR.-In European
court circles hard stories are told con
corning the growing incompetence of
the Emperor of Russia. He is said
to be drunk most of the time, and
his recent illness was not slight
stroke OF apoplexy, as was reported
by the continental papers, but sim
ply an attack of delirinm tremens.-
The Empress, his wife, although a
confirmed invalid, is in such despair
about it that she has aroused herself
from the indolent life which she has
bcen leading for some time past, and
now she tries 10 be as much as posi-
bio in the company of the Emperor.
The gossips in st. Petersburg tell, oil
SO, disgusting stories about the EN-.
peror's love for his daughter-in-law,
the young Princess Dagmar, and of
an estrangement which, in consequ-
ence, is said to have taken place be-
tween him and the Grown Prince
The latter, it is stated, neglects bis
young wife entirely, and manages to
be as much away from home as pos
sible.

New METHOD OF COLLECTING CAR
FAREs.--A new plan for the collec
ton of car fares has been introduced
on the West Philadelphia Passenger
Railway. Each conductor will be
provided with a small metallic box
containing a roll of checks counting
from No. upward, and upon collect
ing fare in money or ticket, the pas
senger will receive from the conduc>
tor one of the said checks, which will
be receipt for the fare, and will con.
tain the date Of issue, and the nuns
Der of the conductor. If kept, it will
enable the passenger to identify car
should any necessity arise for so doing.
To make this plan more effective, It
will be necessary for each passenger
to receive the check, an l to claim it
should the conductor omit giving it,
as the accounts between them and
the company will be governed by the
number of checks remaining in each
box at the time of settlement. 1t is
expected that this reform will do
away with the peculation Of dishonest
conductors, and enable the companies
to secure good and faithful men by
givinga larger salary to those in their
employ.
