The Resources Of RuSSia.

A correspondent of the Edinburgh Scots.

OF this vast country produces little else than
nreWood. In the south there are black-soil
districts, and they raise beautiful wheat there.
but the wheat finds only one market-Eng-
land, which seems to be the stomach of the
world-and in that market they have all the
world, from California westward to New
Zealand eastward, to contend against. In
Finland is iron almost as good as Swedish,
and in the interior of Russia coal and iron in
vast fields, but, strange to say, although the
Government and the proprietors would as

glneers who have examined the districts have

capitalists to work them. They prefer such

resources of Russia are the raw materials

The Minister of the Interior hurries breath
less to the Office of the keeper of one of the
State prisons:
"How is this ?" he cries; Il placed an
important prisoner in your keeping last week,
and now he is over the frontier in Belgium,

The keeper calmly peruses the journal and

"You-put- -him-out?"

A correspondent of a western paper makes
the following statement in regard to the finan-
| cial success of the centennial exposition. The
cost of the exposition was $8,5OO,0OO. II
will run 100 days. Up to July Is, inclusive,
the cash receipts for admission were $742,-
416, or $12, 800 per day on an average The
daily running expenses are $40, 900, leaving a
daily profit of $4,000 on admittance account.
Fifty y-eight days is over one-third of the
whole time, but for our purpose we will call
it one-fOurth. Then we will estimate that the
daily cash receipts for the next three-fourths
will be double, or $4,000, making grand
total of $3,072, 900. Add this to the one
fourth and the amount is $3,814,4l6. Deduct
the running expenses for 159 days, and the
net is 1924, ,416. Then the account will
stand:

Comment is unnecessary. have reckoned
income on 100 days, when the time is only
159 days. The board Of finance say they ex-
pect to sell the buildings at so per cent, of
cost. But any man of any ca!iber knows
they cannot get over 10 per cent, of cost
They admit that the financial success de-
pends upon those figures. The United States

TO classify 1t among the most favored of

MYnferiOna Murder.

ST. LOUIS, June 3.-The dead bodies
of a man, woman and girl, the latter
about three years old, were found in q
secluded part of the woods near Belle
vile, Illinois, yesterday afternoon. The
woman and child were shot through the
head and the man in the heart. The
parties are unknown. From the position
of the bodies and the manner in which
they were arranged, 1t is supposed the
man shot his wife and child and then
killed himself. Persons living near by
heard three shots about sunset Thursday
night, and believed this frightful tragedy
was enacted at that time. The corOn er's
inquest to. day will probably Unravel the
mystery now surrounding the case.
