RUSsIN MILITARY DISCIPLINE.

A German was boasting in the
presence of some Russians about
the obedience and discipline Of the
German army, citing numerous
instances from the war between
France and Germany.
"Gentlemen," replied one of the
Russians, "what you say about
the discipline in the German army
amounts to nothing at all when
compared with what occurs con-
tinuallS in the Russian army.
But l will merely recite one in
stance of wnat occurred at the be-
ginning Of the reign of the Gear
Nicholas, when the discipline in
the Russian army was compare
lively lax. At that time, before
the telegraph was discovered, the
Russians used signal stations,
which were a few miles apart.
The soldier made signal which
was repeated by the soldier at the
next station, and thus the news
was conveyed thousands of miles.
One day a soldier at a station near
St. Petersburg did not see the sig
nal in time, and dreading the pun
ishment that awaited him for neg
ligence, deliberately hanged him
self OH the signal tower. The
soldier at the mex station mistook
this for signal, SO he deliberately
but promptly hanged himself also.
In consequence of the discipline
which prevails in the Russian
army, next day it was discovered
that all the soldier at the signal
towers from st. Petersburg to War.

their signal towers. Of course a
much stricter discipline prevails al
present. and-'

Gang Which Has Operated Through
ont the Country Run Down.
Ever since last April Anthony C0mstock
has been trying to locate what is known as
the McNally gang in New York, who have
been operating in green goods more extern
sively than any other in the country. They
have sent their circulars broadcast through
the United States and Canada. They have
sent thousands of circulars in French to the
province of Quebec and they have robbed
many victims who have come either TO AL
bany or New York in response. In carry
ing on their enormous correspondence they
have used no less than 1872 aliases and the
addresses in New York which were given
located q few days ago at 341 West Fifty
ninth street and raid was made on their
place to-day with surprisingly good results.
The fiat was occupied by two men and
woman. Both of the former, one of whom
passed as Ward, were put under arrest and
the rooms searched. A leather satchel was
forced open. 1t disclosed as fine green
goods outfit as was ever prepared. One-half
of the satchel was nearly filled with doodle
packages" neatly trimmed packages OF
green-tinted paper the size of Treasury notes
and with genuine notes on the outside, the
whole inclosed by rubber bands In a trunk
were found all varieties OF green-goods cir
culars and also two books containing a
record of every individual with whom the
gang was in correspondence, with correct
names and addresses and a summary OF ne
gOtiations to date. There were 1900 ad-
dressed envelopes and more than 1900 circu-
lars of various kinds. The most interesting
disclosures of the raid were in the contents
of the record books kept by the gang. They
contained the names and addresses Of their

Intellectual CrueIties Practio ed to Force
Them Into Marriage.
William Hubbard, painter, SO years old,
who lives. at IS Eleventh street, Brooklyn,
was arrested yesterday by the police of the
Congressional station, on serious charge
made by Mamie keim, IA years old, whose
parents live at 431 Eighteenth street. The
statement of the girl to Captain Murphy
resulted also in the arrest Of her parents,
but they were not held.
Information reached the police early yes
teriay morning that Mamie was locked up
in room by her mother because she refused
to marry Hubbard. The police learned
from neighbors that the girl had been sub
jected to gross iEdignities at the hands of
Hubbard, and that he had also been en-
couraged in his addresses by her mother.
The Society for the Prevention Of Cru
city to Children was notified, and two hours
later Hubbard was arrested, as were also
the father and mother of the girl. To Cap
tain Murphy the girl, in the presence of
her parents, said Hubbard painted their
house two weeks ago and became very
friendly to her. When the work was nearly
done her mother told her that she must
marry Hubbard. She refused, and her
mother threatened her.
Hubbard acknowledged the partial truth
fulneSs of her story and said he was unmar-
he meant it in all honor.
Another case similar in some respects to
HGbbard's was the means OF sending James
Sharp to Jail yesterday. Sharp was ar
raigned in the Butler-street Police Court on
complaint of his cousin, Maggie Wilton,
aged 10, who charged him with threatening
to carve her to pieces unless she married
hn.
Sharp is 81 years old and lives at 81 Third
street, New York. Miss Whitton resides
with her parents at 10l John street. While
employed in tin factory on York street
last summer her right thumb was cut off by
coming into contact with n machine. She
sued the firm for $4,000 damages, and a
jury awarded her $1,000. Prior to the acct
dent Sharp paid his addresses to her, but she
did not reciprocate them. When she re-
ceiyed the 5000 Sharp became more ardent
in his wooing, despite her remonstrances
and was threatened with arrest unless he
deSisted.
lie then poured kerosene oil on his head
and applied a match to it. The pain he
underwent had no effect upon his cousin,
ana he determined to resort TO more aggress-
i've measures to force her to become his
wife. He got a carving knife and lay in
wait for her at her door on Friday night
When she made her appearance he hourished
the weapon in her face and said her time
would be short unless she consented to
marry him.
A policeman made his appearance and
arrested him instead.-N. Y. Word.

They Paint Trenton Green and Six of
Them Are Arrested.
At late hour one night recently, about
100 Princeton students drove over from the
college. They found the town locked up"
as it usually is after that hour, and pro-
ceeded to paint it green" and they sue
ceeded admirably. One party OF about
thrty-five students was assigned the task of
changing the large portable signs; fifteen
others were told off to tear down all the
small tin signs while about twenty-five were
engaged in posting large green proclama-
ton in which humorous illusions were made
to the freshmen.
Every sign it was possible for them to
move was placed before another business
house. OF course the police learned of their
action and gave chase, but only succeeded
III catching six of them. These were ar
raigned before Judge Tywell on charges of
disorderly conduct, the merchants dam
aged refusing to charge them with malicious
mischief. They gave their names as /. l..

Judge Tywell fined them $40 EACH There
was not sufficient money in the party to pay
single fine, but one Of them was allowed
to go to Princeton to borrow the cash. He
returned later, however, without the fines.
Alexander Dunn, q prominent hardware
dealer, whose son is at Princeton College,
was induced to stand as security for the
$50. and after spending several hours in the
lookup the young men were released.

Separated From Their bubbles by

A breezy little incident on Sixth avenue
last week furnished amusing proof that there
are some strangers in town to whom the ele-
waited railroad is still novelty. 1t was
double bridal party evidently working off
extra cash and sentiment by first visit to
New York By the help of civil passengers
they succeeded in passing steps. ticket
office and chopper, out to the platform III
good order. There thousand things en-
gagged the two brides attention, and in
pleased surprise they ran giddlly llther
and yon, indifferent to the approaching
train. On she came, slowed up, gates were
flung open, and with sharp hello to their
partners the gentlemen in truly independent
country fashion stepped briskly aboard, ex
pecting the ladies to follow. But the ladies
had seen no necessity 10 hurry themselves,
so, with clatter and bang OFF the cars
started. leaving the trlm Didos behind.
Then most painful scene was enacted.
The frantic husbands struggled to stop the
locomotive, jump overheard. and yell out
consolation and directions to their wailing
wives, much to the diversion OF hard- hearted
citizens crowding the platform. The train.
however whiSked around curve. and the
concentrated passion of the week-old BRIDE
Sro0ms had no power to reverse the course
of prosaic elevated coaches.
At first the deserted females refused TO be
soothed. They wept and wrung their hands,
requiring the combined efforts Of the officials
to still their worst fears. When the chop
per assured them it was all right about the
tickets, and they might board the next train,
they refused to NEEDLE further with such
sudden sort OF machine and inquired their
way to the street. In marked contrast to
the gay insouciant manner of their entrance
ten minutes previous the brides turned
down the iron steps and. taking firm but
fearful positions at the foot, awaited the
runaways' return. One curious louDger
followed the incident TO the end; saw the
husbands arrive painting and perspirlng, the
wives fall in their arms, and watched the
quartet, after kisses and explanations, walk
off safe and happy again.-N. 7. Sun.

MUNICIPAL REFORM.
The Pulpit Rises In Favor of Morals 10
LegislatIon.

Legislation.
A timely subject was discussed last even
lug by Rev j. Q. A. Henry in the First
Baptist Church on Eddy street, it being
Municipal Reform" Mr.. Henry was quite
eloquent, evidently having his theme at
heart, which made it appear deeply interest
lug to his congregation. He took his text
from Psalms, cAXvll:l: Except the Lord
build the house, they labor in vain that build
it; except the Lord keep the city. the watch
man waketh but IN vain.
In his opening remarks the speaker re-
ferred to suggestions already made regard
ing municipal reform and how these prob
lens were TO be solved. Among the things
suggested by statesmen and leaders of
thought, he stated, there are organization,
cooperation. education, temperance and
economy. They are the the five theories, all
Of which are set forth as the solution Of
these great questions.
The points which the preacher made were
fiye-ail under heads characterized by their
initial letter, p, as follows: Power repre-
senting the home which must he purified;
the pulpit. which stands for the religion,
that needs to be courageous and applied to
daily life and III contact with men-Chris-
tians should not be ashamed of their relig-
ion: the press rure and loyal TO American
Institutions ard American liberties, which
not only expressed, but made and nodded
public sentimeut-one of the strongest evan
gelizing agents in existence. The ideal
press gave expression to that in advance of
the times. The preacher also dllated on the
power of the press, which should take the
right side of these issues.
Tie fourth ONT is politics, including the
emancipation of the city from partisan poll
ties and the management of elections on the
basis of good citizenship, SO that the good
people could array themselves against the
bad in the interests of good citizenship.
Fifth, and last, the police, representing the
enforcement of good law and suggesting
tile Police Commissioners should be APP
pointed by the Governor of the State, as is
done in New York. And among other quail
tiles tor police, he believed that moral purity
was paramount 10 qualify men for the force.

existing laws" said he, in the interest of
sanitary and moral conditions of the city"

A Wild, weird Tale Touching Beautiful
Sheet of Water in Idaho.
A frightful story has just come to light
which confirms an old Indian tradition.
About six miles southeast of Mullen, Idaho,
and within stones throw of the Montana
line, is a small lake, which for beauty and
grandeur is unsurpassed by any point of
interest III the wild West. 1t is located at
the head OF Willow Creek, north branch
of the Ceur d'Alene River, st. Stephens
Peak. the most elevated point 10 the CGur
d Alene Mountains, towers over it, and the
famous ST. Joe range of mountains prevents
its waters from flowing south into the st.
Joe River. The Indians long years ago
often frequented this spot and obtained
quantities of almost pure lead, from which
they made bullets to be used in the chase
or raid, or In warfare against other tribes
and the whites. Some years ago two pros
pectors left the gold placer camp of Eagle.
1t was hot. sultry afternoon, and they
proposed to take bath in The lake. One of
the men, being very poor swimmer, kept
close to the bank, and was soon standing
near the shore watching his partner swim
into the lake. When he had swan about
700 yards from the shore he suddenly turned
about anu started back toward his friend,
who was standing on the shore watching,
and saw, to his horror. some water monster
pursuing the struggling miner, who
was making every exertion to reach
the shore In safety, but with

rumbing sound, and the monster raised a
part of his body out of the water, closed its
mighty jaws upon the unfortunate man, and

nearly killed him. He was Henry Fenker,
