Issac Sussman, of Raden, a Russian town
near the Armenian frontie~. Sussman
owns house and ground worth $1,000.
and three months before June 6, the date of
his letter, he received notice from the
chief city official that he mist sell out his
property in six months. The poor man
sold out his furniture and goods and sent
his family TO America, and remained there
himself to try to sell his house The Of
fetal order being made public, no Russian
will pay him anything for the property un-
til the time is up, when he is forced to sell
it for a song or see it confscated. Three
months have passed. and he is wondering
what on earth to do to save himself from
poverty. What pretence of reason is set
up for the order uoes not exactly appear
1t is this sort of thing which is going on
all over Russia which makes Nihilists by
the thousands, and which is turning the
country into a condition that almost justi-

Mr. Swinburne in describing it. Nowon-

list of atrocities with which the house of
Romanof is indissolubly connected

Miss Emily Lacy's Extraordinary Swim
from the guetta.
In the history of this century writes l..
7. Meade in Woman) there has, perhaps,
never been known an instance of greater
courage. endurance. and pluck than that
shown by Emily Lacy, young girl under
16 years of age, at the time of the wreck
of the Quetta. As Miss Lacy is related to
some personal friends of my own [ have
asked permission to publish few more
particulars about her. She and her young
er sister, aged Is, were coming to England
to complete their education. When the
crash came Emily Immediately rushed to
the cabin to try and rescue her younger
sister, and the two succeeded In reaching
the deck, where. however, they were at once
separated. and they never met afterward.
Miss Lacy says that as the vessel was 60

girls were sid to her: You look after
yourself and | will take care of May"
Both this gentleman, however, and the
little sister, were drowned.

Milking Machines.


A recent issue of the ''Australian Colo
MIST gives few particulars of Buchanan s
celebrated self-acting cow-milker, which
is being used by Mr.. J. L. Thompson,
at the Dooble Agricultural College farm,
and supplied by the New Milking Com
pany, Sheffield. The machine (if such a
simple contrivance can be classed as ma
chine), consists Of four tubes 215 inches in
length and is about the thickness of No. II
wire; it is like thick bodkin with three
round holes on each side. The end is
closed and rounded so that while the tube
can be readily inserted into the canal of
the teat it will not rupture or prick the
flesh. The six holes allow the milk to
enter the tubes at different points from
near the closed end to about an inch and a
half below 1T; the other end of the tube is
fixed into a flexible gutta-percha pipe
about nine inches in length, the outlet of
the pipe being kept open by metal ring.
There is tn and pipe for each teat,
and the four gutta- percha tubes are band
ed together at the ends so that the four
streams unite before falling into the
bucket. Regarding the udder as vessel
containing the the milk and the teat as
closed pipe communicating with the liquid,
it open, simply allowing tho milk to run IN
out. A glance at the contrivance in opera
ton is sufficient to show that the principle
is correct. As soon as the tube is inserted
the milk spurts out, and continues to run
in a steady stream until the udder is
empty, the flow gradually lessening, until
the supply becomes exhausted. Mr..
Thompson has used the machines on two
cows; so far his rest Its have been very
satisfactory. ALI the milk is effectually
taken away by the machine, this being
tested by hand milking after the tubes
have been taken out The COW makes no
objection to the insertion of the tubes,
but stands quietly chewing her cud. For
cows with sore teats it will be manifested
advantageous, and its use contributes to-
ward cleanliness.

going to be drowned. But | came I'D
again. and was surrounded by Cingalese
aid sheep. | felt myself being pressed
down by them; it was terrible. Then |
saw raft short distance out. and was
dragged on to it by the purser, who was
very kind to me- We were attached to IA
bigger raft, crowded with Cingalese.
When we got away some distance, as the
Cingalese became very noisy, we cut our
raft adrift, and | remained on her with the
purser for a long time, till we were, as |
thought. two miles from shore: and. as he
told me that he could not swim, left him
and swan for the shore, but did not reach
ming toward the land and saw another
raft, On which were two Cingalese, to
which made my way. and got to it; but,
as they were very rude and excited. |
thought they might be drunk. so left it
and took to swimming again.
When lifted out of the water she could
not have kept up for another half -hour.
She quite without clothes and burned near
ly black with the sun. Before lifting her
out of the water a sailor threw his jacket
over her and then laid her tenderiy in the
bottom of the boat For twenty consecu-
tive hours she had been swimming and
floating, sometimes on her back, sometimes
on her side. She spoke of The heat as so
intense that she had continually to keep
her head under water to escape sunstroke-
She says that she had never any conscious
fear of death, either from drowning or from
worse and more terrible enemy-sharks;
but she often felt her powers of endurance
giving away. and 1t was only the thought
OF the agony her death would have caused
her parents that enabled the heroic girl to
continue her eXertlons. The wreck took
place at 9 p. m. on Friday Feb. %. and
Miss Lacy was not rescued until o'clock
on Sunday morning. Twelve hours of that
time she spent with the chief officer, Grey,
who had got on a raft. AS he could not
swim the brave girl swan by the side of
the raft and tried to tow it toward land
Finding, however, that she was makir =
no progress, she left him, hoping to reach
land, which did not seem far away, and
to get food and water for herself and him.
She soon, however got into cross-currents
and when the Albatross rescued her she was

Bremen Tuesday, and told the clerk who
registered her at the Barge Office that she
was searching for husband. She is only
8 feet s inches in height. She claims to
be wealthy, and exhibited $500 to the
registry clerk. The woman said she had
travelled nearly around the world looking
for husband, but thus far had failed to
find 2 suitable mate.

tional Republican Committee.


SARATOGA, n. Y, Sept. The exetu-
tive committee of the National League of
Republican Clubs held its semi-annual
session here to-day and adopted an address
to the various state leagues. 1t states that
there is much political prosperity through
out the country to renew courage. Since
the Nashville meeting there has been a
great growth in numbers. and there is
promise of larger attendance at Cincin-
natl than at any previous convention.
State leagues are admonished to keep up
active work during the off years. Refer
ring to the tariff the address says: I'VE
still adhere with frmness to the doctrine
that we'll arranged tariff law is the
real protector of our country's prosperity.
The theory.of free trade is heresy that
calls upon us to lend helping hand to
complete its overthrow In this direction
alone the league of the States can accom-
plish much good" Touching reciprocity
the address says: The doctrine of re-
ciprocity offered as an amendment in the
senate will procure for US valuable conces-
slons and benefits from many countries
with which we trade" Continuing. the

The present danger to the party is
from unfair elections, but the time is at
hand when we have gained sufficient
courage to declare by law that all citizens
shall have their votes fairly counted. ="

senators and congressman in favoring the
elections bill. These words are used: 1T

What Russian Persecution Is
A good deal of light is thrown upon the
! systematic persecution of the Jews in Rus
sia by an article in the Philadelphia In
quirer based upon letters received in that
city by relatives of the sufferers We have
already had something to say of the po-
lltical aspect of the Gar S recently adopt
ed policy; but the question is, after all
one chiefly of humanity, and as such it de-
serves the attention of the civilized world.
There have been occasion hitherto In the
history of Russian tyranny when other ma
lions have been obliged to protest strenu-
ously against its barbarous cruelties. and
there may vet be some interference from
without if in his new-found religious zeal
the Car permits his officials much longer
to indulge in legalized brutality A great
deal OF the present persecution is confined
merely to petty annoyances; buG much of
it also involves the severest hardShips to
those who are the objects of it, An instance
of the former sort is that which compels IA
Jew in a street car to give up his seat to a
christian on demand; or that by which any
christian who becomes involved in quar-
rel with a Jew can have his antagonist
punished simply by getting two witnesses
10 swear tIldG Tue Jew Insulleu nlm; or
that which compels Jews to doff their hats
to the officials and gentry, or that which
compels Jewish young men to serve in the
army and at the same time forbids them
promotion. But an instance which gives
i glimpse of this contemplate persecution
| in one of its more cruel forms is thus mar
rated in the Inquirer;
