M. Richmond : Supper.

A cruel trick was playe,l upon the
well-known, diner-out, DR.. G. M. Rich.
mond, on Saturday night at the Lyceum
theater, says The New Y ork Sun. The
doctor, with party of lady friends, sat
in whiskers of the distinguished bon
vivant were glossy with brilliant inc, and
his shirt bosom and white waistcoat
were made radiant by large gold buttons.
the same having no relation whatever
to the DOCTORS profession of dentistry
and tooth filling, as was suggested re-
Gently by New York paper. Imr
mediately after the first act the docto,
leaned affably over the edge of the box
fixed an usher with one Of his glitter
ing eyes, and said:
Hist"
The usher rushed forward.
'f.' said the doctor, "a latter comes
here addressed to G. NJ. Richmond,
please bring it down to me-"
The usher nodded. When the our
tain fell on the succeeding act the doctor
glared up the aisle and asked the usher,
in loud tone of voice, if that lettor had
arrived yot for G. M. Richmond. The
usher said it had not. The docto +
looked annoyed, and fully, half the
people in the audience shook their heads
dismally and wondered what had be-
come of the letter. Again the curtain
rose and fell, and once moro the doctor
wheeled around and stared at the door,
as did most of the people in the
audience. To the intense relief of every
body the usher ran beaming down the
aisle with large white envelope in his
hand.
"The fact is" said the doctor in an
explanatory and affable manner to his
friends. II found myself without change
when we arrived here, and, as I thought
we would like to take little bit of
supper after the play, sent check
for $50 that had in my pockes up to
my friend Pond, with a note asking him
to cash it SO that we could buy some
supper. This is the answer
1.-THE doctor took the envelope. tore in
open in full view of the audience and
his friends. and drew out one large and
smoking clam fritter, and card which
read:
DEAR DoCKEY! Have supperw this

SIBERIA.
IT, Secrets Revealed-Georgo Kennan's
Wonderful Journey.


Tent Life in Siberia. etc, had spent four
years in Russia and Siberia, was thorough
~ conversant with the people and the Ian
guage, and had reached the con lusiOn that
the Russian Government had been misrep-
resented, and that the exile system of Sibe-
ria was not so terrible as was supposed.
Knowing that Mr.. KEENAN, held these
views, the Russian Government gave him
every facility for a thorough
INSPECTION OF MINES AND PRISONS
of Siberia-the most thorough that had
ever been made by traveller. Armed with
letters from the Russian Minister of the
Interior and other high officials, Mr.. Ken
nan went everywhere, inspecting mines and
prisons, convict barges and hospitals, and
travelling with chained exiles along the
great Siberian road. He made the intimate
personal acquaintance of more than three
hundred exiled "liberals" and Nihilists,
many of whom wrote out their histories tor
his use. The actual facts, as revealed by
this searching investigation, were far re-
moved from Mr.. Remnants preconceived
ideas, as this thrilling narrative OF fifteen
months privation and adventure will show.
As is already known, the publication OF
Mr.. Remnants preliminary papers has re-
suited in his being placed
ON THE BLACK LIST
by the Russian Government, and copies of
The CeuturV containing them have the OBJ
jectionable article torn out by the custom
officials before being allowed to enter the
Cars dominions.
Il expected, Of course" says Mr.. Ken
nan, in recent interview, "to be put on
the Russian black list. The stable-door is
locked, but the horse has been stolen-and
I've got him.

II have a funny cid uncle down in

sid Iii. Tired Richardson, the artist.
II spent a night at his home not long
ago, and ] aoa't inten3 to spend an
other there soon. / am q light sleeper,
and when I am awakened / have
hard time TO get back to sleep. Well,
at u o'clock that night / was wake
ensd by the lord, lazy stroke of an
old-iashione2 tall clock in the hall.
1t struck twelve times and / thought
il would never quit and let me go to
sleep. had Just swooned off in di-
rection of sleep when nasty little
Yankee clock, with busy whanging
knocker, pelted off twelve more. In
few minutes the soothing chime of a
pretty French clock peeped up
through my bedroom floor from the
parlor. Knight have gone to sleep
under this influence, but in a few
moments more the loud tingling
voice of another clock ia some
other parts Of the house drove all
sleep from my eyes. In sheer des'
peration I lay and counted clock
after clock uutil fifteen of them had
each struck IL, and then, just as |
had concluded that was the and of the
procession of noises, the big father
clock of all, the one in the hall, struck
enc and the rest followed its example.
ssIn the morning discovered that
the fifteen clocks were set just five
minutes apart.
"'What do you keep your clocks
all set differently fort / asked.
"sWell,' said my uncle, when l
wake up in the night like to know
what time it is. Now as [ have my
clocks arranged, one of them strikes
every five minutes, SO l don't have to
wait long to find out whether it is
time to get up.
HE knew the voice Of every clock
in the house, and knew just what time
it was whenever any one OF them
struck.
