what DIshonesty Cost.

The Russian postofllce will insure the safe
delivery Of any letter for one.eighth of one per
cent. of the declared value OF the inclosure.
This safeguard is commonly employed by
rnit hanitnotes anT nnaotionhIae aao,rtt,as
Such perfect confidence is felt In the safe de-
livery of insured letters that many persons
have hitherto taken the lnfluiteslmal risk of
on only small one, thus cheating the gov
erDment TO their own advantage. The ofll-
cials have seldom thought 1t worth while to
verify the contents of insured letters but
their attention having been attracted by the
smallness of the values regularly declared by
a certain 1lrm Of bankers in st. Petersburg,
they opened q letter insured for 1000 roubles

law is that In case OF a false valuation the en-

instance their dishonest economy cost the

I'm N Garden.

In n Garden.
Pale in the pallid moonlight,
White as the rose on her breast,
She stood in the fair rose garden,
With her shy, young love contest.
The roses climbed to kiss her,
The violets purple and sweet
Breathed their despair In the fragrance
That bathed her beautiful feet.
She stood there, stately and slender,
Gold hair on her shoulders shed,
Clothed all In white, like the visions
When the living behold the dead.
There, with her lover beside her,
With life and with love she thrilled,
What mattered the worlds wide sorrow
To her with her Joy fulfilled?
Next year in the fair rose garden
He waited alone and dumb,
IL perchance from the silent country
The soul OF the dead would come,
To comfort the living and loving,
With the ghost OF a lost delight,
And thrill Into quivering welcome
The desollte, broodlng night.
TIL sof ly a wind IN the distance
Began TO blow and blows.
The moon bent nearer and nearer,
And solemp, and sweet, and slow,
Came q wonderful rapture of muslcs
That TUNED to her voice at last;
Then a cold, soft tluch on his forehead
Like the breath Of the Wind thst passed.
Like the breath Of the wind she touched him,
Thin was her voice aud cold,
And some thing that seemed like a shadow
Slipped through his feverIsh hold.
But the voice had said, 81 love yau
With my first love and my last
Then again that wonderful music
And ho knew her soul had passed.

scheller, the Alleged gncendiary.

SchehIeEs tue AhEctscN fncenNHuEy.
George Scheller, the lessoe OF the barroom of
the Newhall House, was arrested on Tuesday
afternoon upon suspicion that he set fire to
the hotel. On Sunday night Information was
lodged with the police concerning Scheller's
whereabouts en- the morning of the fire. Yes
terday afternoon W. II. Ebbitts visited Chief
Wason and the sheriff, md urged upon them
the necessity of removing Scheller to Racine to
protect him from threatened vengeance. He
argued that TO keep tho prisoner In jail In
Milwaukee would be to place him at the mercy
OF a mob. The mayor was then called upon,
and arrangements were mado for a special
train to carry Scheller to Racine, In case there
were signs Of trouble.
Last night 1t was reported that Scheller had
been secretly removed from the jail by the
authorities for fear of an attempt to lynch
him, and 1t is believed he has been sent to
Waukesha.
Scheller went to Milwaukee with Mr., Antls
del from Detroit about nine years ago, when
the latter assumed charge OF the Newhall
House. He had been chief clerk in the Blddle
House in that city when Mr.. Antisdel kept 1t.
The two men, It is said, have always been
warm personal friends. Scheller learned the
printers trade In his youth and worked at It
in Detroit for six years. Besides his we'll
known financial difficulties and his high In
sulance, another thing which gave rise to the
flrst suspicion was his attempt to blow up
some two weeks ago. About this affair VIM.
Hughes, the head porter at the Newhall
House, makes the following statement; "One
morning, about two weeks ago, went up the
main entrance and near the elevator smelled
