CAR AkExANDER,s CHARACTER.
One Of the Most Agreeable OF Compsn-
ions-How He Considers Criminal

One OF the Most Agreeable OF Compsn-
ions-How He Considers Criminals,
The car is not approachable for obvious
reasons. He is the most difficult man in
the world to see for any purpose, because
he 10 SO completely surrounded by police
and soldiers; but when access is once
gained to his presence heis represented as
one of the most agreeable Of companions
mot good talker," as one expressed
it, ebut a splendid listener" He seems
to be interested in anything you are of q
mind to discuss, and often suggests topics
to his callers in q pleasant, Off hand way
to draw them out. He says little himself,
but remembers all he hears and from
whom he heard it, would rather tell q
good story to the car than any man I
know, but never heard him tell one. He
is particularly interested on all scientific
and political topics. He will listen as in
tently to discussion of the political
situation in America as thatin Europe, and
the description of any new discovery viii
delight him. He will inquire minuteIy,
for the details, and will then ask where
he can find further. information. Small
talk and gossip never interests him. He
will change the subject at once and
abruptly as soon as IL IL begun. He cares
nothing for newspapers and seldom reads
them, but has q secretary who reads every
journal Of Europe Of any Importance, and
is able to tell the car what he wants to
know Of current events. I'll
Looking at his photograph does not give
one more than q suggestion of the amount
of character In the czar,s face. He is q
large, splendidly built man, and moves
like an athlete. There is strength in
every motion of his hand and every glance
of his eye. There is no face among all
the great men of Europe with more char
acter in its lines than his, and the chief
characteristic is. discrimination. He is O
man Of the most intense convictions. He
hates and he loves very strongly; never
forgets an injury or Kindness, but has q
Sympathetic disposition, and is inclined to
LOOK upon crime as disease.
This point was alluded to recently in
conversation with an official of the gov
eminent who has to do with philanthropic
institutions. He told me that the car had
always shown the greatest interest in the
humane treatment of the insane, and
had several times expressed the opinion
that most criminals were partially or
wholly out Of their minds. He is much
more 1enient toward the Nihilists than his
police, and 1t was through him that the
last batch arrested were sent to Siberia
instead Of being executed. He considers
the young men, the students who engage
in conspiracies against him, as fanatics,
and is inclined to treat them generously;
but an officer of the army who is guilty of
conspiracy or treason he viii never for
give. In the czar's mind hanging Is too
good for him.

Car Riding Before the War.

People who travel nowadays in Pullman
sleepers and buffet cars can't imagine
what railroading used to be before the
war in the west. Now the percentageo Of
deaths by accident on railroads is very
small. Then man took his life In his
hand when he made a tripon the railroad.
The rails then were known as strap rails,
fiat pieces Of iron spiked down to the
wooden beams laid along the track. Every
now and then wheel of car would tear
one end of rail loose and it would fly nm
through the bottom of the car and then
smash its way through, killing anybody
it struck and breaking the wood work Of
the car all to pieces.
! was an express messenger in those
days on o road running between Cincin-
natl and Indianapolis. One day one of
these rails broke through my car, struck
my safe, and then came squirming and
twisting like a snake at me- tried to
dodge it, but it seemed to bend all over
the car in q second, and it caught my
breeches, tearing them clear off one leg.
If it had struck my body would have
been nailed to the roof by it, as it went
on out that way. Sometimes these broken
rails threw the train off the track, but
generally the CARS. bowled anerrily along
over the break, and the passengers were
SO accustomed to being shaken up that
they didn't know that anything extraor-
binary had happened until some one told
them. Joseph Temple In Globe-D Demo-

that various gentlemen are in the race
