Count TOistoi's Simple Life.

During my weeks sojourn at Yasnaia
Poliana, the count did no manual toll.
He had not made any shoes for some
time, and although he proposed blowing
the field OF peasant woman whose hus-
band was in Jail for bone stealing, he
did not actually get between the stills.
He really did not seem to have sufficient
physical strength to do long days hard
work. He was ailing, and, as he said,
rejoicing in the consciousness that every
day brought him nearer to death. We
were all much concerned at the evident
frailty of his constitution, The previous
year, when he had hurt his foot against
cart wheel, he had been laid up for
months. This year he was far from
well, bat he refused to have any advice
from a doctor.
Physic and the healing art he held in
profound disdain, and it was an attempt
to secure the advice of the first physi-
clan in Moscow which precipitated the
pilgrimage from Moscow to Yasn:si:a
PoG"-.l IN the spring Of this year. The
vegetarian regimen which he has adopted
was doing him no good. He was steadily
pressing forward along the ascetic path.
Until last year he enjoyed the cigarette;
now tobacco, like wine and fresh meat,
is tabooed. The son smokes, but not the
father. Meat is served at dinner and
supper, but he contented himself with
curds, spinach or vegetables. He still
allowed himself tea, almost the only lux
ury left. Like Gen. Booth, Count Tolstoi
is not yet s'saved from tea" But that
also will probably speedily follow the
rest of the superfluities which have been
discarded in the pursuit of the simplifca-
ton of life.-W. T. Stead in st. Louis
Republic. - ....

CAUSE OF THE RIOT.

Two Brutal Murders Charged to Engineer
Halves Sought to BE Avenged.
BIRMINGHAM, Dec. 19.-Last Tuesday
the body of little girl was found in
East lake, near this city. The fact was
established that she had been murdered,
and Wednesday the body was identified
as that of May Hawes, the daughter Of
Il. r. Halves. railroad engineer. Cir
culnstances pointed to the girls father
as her murderer. He was married in
Columbus, Miss, Wednesday evening
though supposed to have a wife here.
On his arrival here with his bride
that night he was arrested, chrrged
with murder. Then it was learned
that he had never been divorced
from his first wife and that she
had been missing since last Satur-
day as well as a younger child. Search
FOR the wOman's body commenced at
once, and soon additional circumstantial
evidence against Halves was secured.
Saturday evening the body of his wife
was found at the bottom Of the lake
weighted down with iron. This caused
intense excitement throughout the city,
and that night fifty or more officers were
placed around the jail armed with Win
chester rifles, anticipating a possible at
tempt to lynch Halves. About II o'clock
Saturday night about 1000 or 5000 men
gathered in the vicinity of the Jail max
ing threats. They were without organi-
zation or leaders and after much pariey-
ing with the mayor and others who tried
to get them to go away the
crowds finally reached the end of a
marrow alleyway leading to the Jail
doors. Then the officers warned them
to stand back Or they would be fired on.
After repeated warnings they would not
stand back, and Sheriff Smith ordered
the officers to fire. One volley was fired
and twenty-three men fell killed Or
wounded. Three men were instantly
killed. seven have since died, and ten
others are badly wounded. The mob
then hurriedly escaped, vowing venge-
