The emperor and empress of Russia
have cat and-dOg life Of it, and now !
it is privately whispered that the czare- |
vich and his pretty wife are not Oh the |
best of terms. He treats her q la Rl8Se, |
and on few occasions has not hesitated |
to strike her. The whip is a common |
article Of domestic economy in Russia, |
and among the peasantry the bride al |
ways presents whip to the bridegroom. |
1t is hung at the foot of the bed, and not |
infrequently used. The czarevich is |
sufficiently fond of the customs of his |
country not to allow this one to fall into |
disuse. Where the ruler, that is to be,
sets the example the subjects will be sure |
to follow.

State Treasurer Jones states to the COM

BeecheT case, testifies that she and
Tilton visited Vic. Woodruff, and in an
interview between Tilton and MouItOn
angry words were used by the latter,
and she (the witness) may have called
the former a villain. She went with

he was crying and was crying, and
felt as if was in the presence of DEATH"
