EMPEROR ALEXANDER'S ASSASSINs.

Their Trial at st. Petersburg Most Of them
Openly Confess their Complication in the
Crime.
The trial of the Nihiiists implicated in the
assassination of the late car began on the 9th
inst. After the reading of the Indictment was
concluded, the president of the court asked the
prisoners whether they wished to say anything.
Rossakoff, who threw one of the bombs, spoke
for half an hour. He said he primarily desired
to agltate peacefully, but entered into the late
conspiracy, seeing no ether way out of the 50
cial troubles Mickaeloff who arrested as
he entered ROssakoff's house, said he belonged
to the terrorist faction of the party, but denied
Rossakoff's statement that he participated in
the arrangements for the murder of the car
Kessy Hoffman acknowledged that she kept a
conspirator's lodging house, which was the
depot for their implements, but denied having
actively participated in the czar's assas snation
Kibaltschitisch, the bomb maker avowed his
connection with The Will of the Peoples party,
their wish, he said, being to gain their object
by peaceable propaganda, but.they were reluct-
antly obliged to adopt terrorist measures He
admitted preparing five bombs. Sophie Pieoff-
sky avowed her participation in the preparation
OF the Mascow plot and the murder of the car.
Jeiakoff, who was the most intelligent of the
prisoners, fuently related with diabolical salts
faction the history of the two Alexandorfsky
mines. He said he was at the head of one group
of the party and was charged by the executive
committee with the work of organization of the
attack by bombs, and was connected with the
Sadowa street mine as simple worker. After
these declarations the procurator stated that II
would perhaps be possible to shorten the trials.

China COMPARED with Janan.
Shanghai Letter to Philadelphia Ledger.

Shanghai Letter to Philadelphia Ledger
cannot say that like China as we'll as
Japan. In spite of the marked superiority
of the Chinese, in many respects, notably
as traders, and servants, their insufferably
dirty. cities, the wretchedness and degra da-
ton of their lower classes, and the moral
rottenness which apparently pervades all
strata of their society, make them compare
unfayorably as people with the rejuvenat-
ed inhabitants of Dia Nippon. In China
one finds himself in the presence of a civil
ization which was old when Greece and
Rome were born; which has, with extraor-
binary vitality, somehow extended its exist
ence into the nineteenth century, but
which, rotten with the weight of 4. 600 wears.
is ready to fall to pieces at the slightest
shock. This sense of great ACE. of decad-
ence, run well nigh into putridity, is, at
times, absolutely oppressive. One is al
most tempted, at such moments, to hope
for relief in some sudden interposition of
Providence, like the Deluge of old, by
which this stupendous relic of the earliest
ages, this accumulation of forty centuries
of human vice and misery, this vast social
and political structure, called the Chinese
Empire, could be forever swept out of ex-
lstence. China has lived too long. In ia
pan, on the other hand, new civilization,
modelled partly after that of the West, but
still distinctively Japanese, has already
arisen from the old, as the Latin nations of
modern Europe out of ancient Rome; and
one sees everywhere evidences Of public
spirit, enterprise and good government. /
do not know whether this estimate of the
relative condition of the two countries to-
day is that Of all travellers or not; but it GER
tainly is the verdict of many beside myself.

Wheat.

Isis was supposed to have introduced
wheat into Egypt, Demeter into Greece land
the emperor Chin Wong into China, about
5000 B. G. In Europe it was cultivated be-
fore the period of history, as samples have
been recovered from the lancastined wellings
of Switzerland.
The first wheat raised in the New World
was sOwn by Spaniards, on the island of
Isabella, in January, 1884, and on March
80 the ears were gathered. The founda-
ton Of the wheat harvest OF Mexico is said
to have been three or four grains carefully
cultivated in 1880, and preserved by a
slave of Cortez. The crop OF Quito was
raised by Franciscan monk, in front of
the convent. Garcillasco de la Vega affirm
that in Peru, up to 1919, wheaton bread
had not been sold at Cusco. Wheat Was
first sold by Gosnold on Cuttyhunk, one
the Elizabeth islands, in Buzzards bay, off
Massachusetts,, in 1902, when he first ex-
plored the coast. In 1894, ON the ialand
of st. Croix, near Calais Maine.
the. Sieur de Monts had some wheat
sown, which fourished finely. In
1911 the first wheat seems to have been
sown in Virginia. In 1926 samples of wheat
grown in the Dutch colony at New Nethers
lands were shown in Holland. It is proba-
Ole tnat wheat was grown III tne Ilymoutn
colony prior to 1929, though we find nc
record of it, and in 1929 wheat was ordered

wheat was introduced into the valley of the
Mississippi by the Western Company" In
1899 it was amongthe cultivated crops of the

A sadand fatal accident occurred while a
night crew was employed in clearing the block
ade at point some SIX or seven miles east of
Window, whereby one man was killed outright
and four others were wounded, two of whom it
is thought can't recover. 1t seems that through
some miscalculation the engine propellng the

men could be removed, and thus the cruel
tragedy took place.
A man was killed at Mansion, Wis, by being

Beauty and its Disappointments.

From Forney's Progress.
Beauty in woman is a powerful weapon.
We all know what havoc, what transforma-
tons and quarrels the favorites Of the kings
have caused; then, as in our day, beauty
could call smile to the sourest visage,
draw money from the closestpockets, make
Of a strong statesman purring boy. Why
wonder, then, that it is SO frequently turned
from its true course. Greater constitutions
thar those Of our sex are shattered by fiat
terry. The beauty is the recipient daily of
compliments spoken and as many more
implied. She is courted, sought after, put
on pedestal wherefrom she looks down
upon her less favored sisters. Then
comes the awakening. Hers is an
enviable condition for time; She is asked
to give back that which was but atransitory
gift. Rocheburne says: A woman finds
nothing in this world so difficult as accus-
toming herself to being no longer beautiful
when she has once been charming.

HENRY WARD BEECHER.
Another Sensational Performance of the Great
Preacher.

Preacher.
A deep hush fell upon Plymouth church last
Sunday, and every ear was strained when
Beecher said he would relate an incident which
he had never spoken of before. He remarked
playfully that he would now tell it confidential
ly. s'There came to me-" he said, " q member
of my own church, the mother of a young wo-
man, who said her daughter had become fasci-
mated with Roman worship and wanted to unite
with that church l said to her: Tell your
child to wait one year, until her own mind and
judgment are settled, and if, at the end of that
time, she shall find that she is drawn nearer to
God and to heaven through that church, let
her come, and We will take her by the hand
and carry her to the door, At the end
of the year she was still anxious to
enter that church, and I sat down
and wrote letter to an honorable Catholic pas
tor of this city and said: This lamb has found
greener pastures in your fields than in mine ;
She joined the Catholic church, and is to-day a
happy Christian girl in that communion" Any
one could have heard pin drop while Beecher
was telling this, and there is now what is called
quite sensation. He added: 81 could do it
again if it were necessary, for when speak of
unity, of all that believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ mean it don't believe in external
unity, but believe in internal unity" In this
connection the preacher also said: 81 would
rather ride in the most ragged third class car
that was ever put on the railroad if it would
take me nearer home than in the most luxurious
parlor car that was ever built if it would take
me further from home.o
