Prince, who was one of tho handsomest
men in Russia, danced in a quadri lie
opposite the Empress.
AS she passed him in tho dance she
fancied that his eyes scanned her gross
figure with covert amusement After
the ouadrille she beckoned to him, and
with smile handed him her tiny ivory
tablets, containing seven pages, one for
each day in the week. On the first was
written:

was heard to say as he left the ballroom:
"My minutes arc numbered; let us not
lose one"
Flight or resistance was impossible.
The hold Of Catherine on her victim was
memorable as death. Prince Veritzin
was forced to remain passive in his pal
ace while each day the power, the wealth
and the happiness that life had given
him were stripped from him.
First he was degraded from all his
offices at court; next his estates were
confscated by the crown; his friends
were forbidden to hold any oommuniea-
ton with him; his very name, one of
the noblest in Russia, was taken from
him, and he was given that of a serf.
Then his wife and children were driven

In January when Pe-ru.na fails to keep you warm. When the buster ing blasts of winter envelop your body in their icy embrace, and seem to freeze your very marrow; when you shiver and shake with the cold chlls that creep over you and pierce you to the very bone then it is that you will find. if you try it, that there is nothing so comfortably warming and so mildly invigorating as this same Pe-ru-na.

PAsSAIC POLLUTION,
A Newark Oficial's Report Shows a
Shocking State of Things.

A Newark OHicials Report SHOWS
Shocking State of Things.
Special to the Jersey City Netcs.
NEWARK. July "a, 1S9o.-At yesterdays
meeting of the Aqueduct Board the re-
port of Inspector Mahler regarding the
condition of the Passaic River above the
place where the city draws its daily sup
ply, was read. It showed disgusting
state of affairs The inspector said:-
81 went to Paterson on July %, accom-
panied by Inspector Lynch, and inyesti-
gated the disposal of sewage matter. We
went out in a rowboat near the boathouse
and found matter floating in the river.
At Broadway bridge we found more float
ing matter and filth coming down stream.
We concluded that the filth came from
sewers further up the stream. The
river from shore to shore above
this point was full of filth
that looked like grease and cotton
oil. We rowed west of the Broadway
bridge toward Paterson. We found that
the greatest part OF the matter came
from the Thirty-third street sewer, which
runs through the centre of the city.
The stencil was so great at one point that
it drove us ashore"
The inspector stated that since his last
report there had been little change in re-
gard to the pollution of the river or its
tributaries. The secretary of the Com
mon Council of the city of Orange had
notified him that the city had approprt-
ated $500 to have Parrow brook cleaned,
but that the matter had not been attend
ed to yet. The brook is getting more
filthy every day.
Mr. Mailer also reported that Passaic
City had not yet tapped the sewers on the
river front.
