the pleasanter country between the post
stations of CeremishkaYa and Sugats-
kaya, which Mr.. Kennon has described
as a rich, open farming region, resem-
bling that portion Of New York which
lies between Rochester and Buffalo; and
which may therefore on our SIDE of the
Atlantic be fairly likened to the wolds of
Lincolnshire OF the wealds of Kent,
without, however, the beautiful hedge
row characteristics of the old country.
The means of the Countess Stravensky,
despite the disappearance of their owner,
had in a great measure found their way
into the hands of Anna KIosstock, and
her father had received valuable assist
ance from his banking friends of Moscow
and st. Petersburg; 30 that here IN the
heart of the most fertile Of the Siberian
country, father and daughter will end
their days together, with ample money
for all their wants and sufficient for acts
of charity and benevolence. This very
winter Philip Forsyth has learned,
through private sources organized by
Dick Chetwynd, that the Klosstocks had
purchased q homestead near Sugatskaya,
which many a wealthy Russian might
envy; that the old man, still dreamy in
his manner and often wrapped in reflec-
ton, nevertheless realized the happiness
that had come TO him in his latter days;
and knew how great it was in contrast
with what he had suffered in the first
days of his exile; while Anna only lived
to give him pleasure and make her peace
with heaven.

The champion meanest man and the
most hesrtless justice live in Surgis,
South Dakota. The meanes man lost
his pocketbook containing $3.50; and
when the finder returned it to him after
a month spent in finding the owner, he
demanded that the finder pay him inter-
est Tor the use OF the money. Naturally
the finder refused this unreasonable de-
mand, whereupon the meanest man
brought suit for the interest, and the
most heartless justice gave the meanest
man judgment for 81 10 costs.

There is a large room for a body Of cOnsCa-

The entire work is being pushed forward as

Uncle Sans Border Line.

For many years the question of bounda-
ry between the United States and the
possessions of Great Britain was discussed,
and at last, at the Convention of London
held in 1918, the forty-ninth parallel
OF north latitude was decided upon. 4
parallel of latitude, however, being an
imaginary line, is a very poor guide to q
traveller. So the next thing 10 do was TO
mark that line so that all who pass that
way should know where it was located.
Accordingly the county in that vicinity
was surveyed, and monuments were set up
ut even mile intervals, the British placing
one between every two of ours. These
extend from the Lake of the Woods to the
Rocky Mountains. NJ. Louise F,rd, in the
February Vide Aucake tells how the boun.
diary line is defined.
Where the line enters forests the timber
is cut down, and the ground clearel a rod
wide where it crosses small lakes stone
cairns have been built, sometimes b ing
eighteen feet under water and eight above /;
in other places earth mounds seven by
fourteen feet have been built.
The most of these monuments, which
number three hundred and eighty-pight in
all, are Of iron. It was found tint tho
most solid w"Oden posts were not proof
against the ravages of the Indians, p~rairies
fires, and the weather, so that nothing but
iron wouk do.
These pillars are hollow iron castings fit
ted over solid cedar posts and we'll bolted
through aud are sunk four feet i'll the
ground.
They are eight feet high, eight inches
quare at base and tour at top, and upon
opposite sides facing north and south are
the inscriptions cast in letters two inches
high Convention Of London" and "Octo-
Der 90, 1878"
The pillars weigh two hundred and
eiGhty.6ve pounds each and were made ct
Detroit, Michigan. So you see Uncle Sans
border line is very distinctly marked all
the way from the lake to the summit of the

LOOKING FOR HIS BROTHER,
The Troubles of Young and Educated Ger.
mnn Immigrant.

mnn Immigrant.
Ernest Omann, young German, was
given transportation to Cleveland yesterday
by the Department Of Charities. He speaks
good English, and rather surprised Chief
Elliot by saying that he had been in Amer
lea only eight months. He explained his
proficiency in our language by stating that
he had studied English for years in the
academy where he received his education.
He speaks German, English, French and
Russian fuently, and is thoroughly familiar
with Latin and Greek.
Omann said that his father was an officer
in the German army. and died several wears
ago. The pension granted his mother was
liberal zone. however, and was sufficient to
support his mother and himself. About a
year ago his mother died also, which termin.
ated the pension, and as he had an elder
brother in business in Cleveland, he con-
cluded to come to America. He arrived in
Baltimore eight months ago, and after max
ing an unsuccessful search for congenial en-
ployment, took job on an oyster boat.
He remained at this work for several
months, when one day he found that he had
been robbed of his money and some jewelry.
He then came to this city. He experienced
another failure to secure intellectual en-
ployment, and then took job wheeling clay
in the brick works OF Benz Bros, on the
Southside. He soon got tired of it, as his
pay was only S5 per week and his board cost
81. At last be made up his mind to 60 to
Cleveland, where his brother is engaged in
the wholesale drug business.

THE DOWIEs' FAITH.
They Believe In Christ and Profess TO Hea
the Sick.


the Sick.
OMAHA, July 11.-For week past Mr..
and Mrs. Dowie, Evangelists and believers
in the laying on Of hands, have been preach
ing at the First Baptist Church every after
noon and evening. From day to day their
audiences have grown larger, till now IS or
80 persons gather at each meeting to listen
to them.
They preach the power of Christ to heal
and break the bonds OF Satan. They differ
from Mrs. Finn, the Christian scientist,
whose certificate OF ability to practice states
that she can heal the sick, raise the dead,
cast out devils and heal those afflicted with
leprosv, inasmuch as the Dowies believe
that Christ does the healing, whereas Mrs.
Finn believes in her own ability to accom-
nlish the same ends. The sanctifcatiOn
of the soul Is necessary to the purify
inc of the body, says the Dowies. This re-
markabie and devoted couple are from Mel
bourne. Australia, where, according to the
story si Mrs. Dowie, they led lives which
were one continual proof OF the power OF
Christ. "Our house was crowded., says
Mrs. Dowie with those who came 10 DC
healed. 1 have no difficulty in describing
such scenes as those which Jesus was so ire
ouently in, when the sick carried by their
friends were crowded about Him, for my
self have seen such things in our little house
In Melbourne"
She talked yesterday afternoon Of the
healing of the palsied man, to whom Christ
said, "Thy sins be forgiven thee, ana
"Take up thy bed and walk" She belleved
that Christ saw that that suffering man had
planted the seeds OF disease in his system py
his own sims-his own transgresslons OF
natures laws. II Christ could look III the
faces of men now and speak with them he
might have occasion to say the same thlng,
for He would see in those faces the history
OF intemperanceTthe traces of nicotine pois-
oning or alcoholic poisoning.

A TOAD AND SNAKE CONTEST.
How the Little Jumper Overcame His
Agile Adversary.

How the Little Jumper Overcame His
Agile Adversary.
New York Press.l
l heard the latest snake story yesterday,
and as it was about Mexican snake, and
shall venture to repeat it. Come to think
OF it, the story is toad story, although a
snake was the victim, so it may be all
right It was told by William Cooper, the
onyx miner, in about this language: 81
have heard and seen many strange things
in the forest of Mexico, and had heard of
toads that would fight snakes, but never
expected to see one until one day I
heard a rustling in the underbrush
and saw a small snake, about two
feet long, hurrying along as ii in fear. Not
five PAGES behind it toad was making
furious leaps to keep up with the snake.
stopped to watch them. The toad gained on
the snake, and the latter suddenly stopped
and coiled up with its jaws wide open,
while it shot out its tongue and twisted the
head back and forth in an excited manner.
Then 1 noted that it had long head and
was capable of swallowing a pretty good
sized morsel. The toad did not seem wor-
ried by the snakes attitude, but kept right
on, onu saiu " !" seil, as saw ~ JUN
straight at the reptile, 'Good-by, toad.'
The toad's head went right down the snakes
throat, and the snake rolled out full
length and gradually swallowed the
toad. 1 could see the toad's
form inside the snakes skin as it passed
down into the snakes stomach. Having
pulled out cigar and lit it 1 had spent
nearly an hour watching this operation
when 1 noticed the snake beginning to
writhe, and on looking closer saw that tine
toad must be alive inside, for it was evil
IDENTIFY kicking and dstending its legs, and
presently had spread the snakes body
widely. 1 heard a little noise like pop
gun, and there was Mr.. Toad and busted
snake. The toad had broken out OF his con-
fnement and the snake was dying. 1 was
told by the Indians that the sight is not at
all an uncommon ones"

'There were buzzing and roaring noises in
my ears. A continual dropping of mucus back
into my throat which kept me constantly hawk
ing and raising to clear 1t. My throat became
sore and infamed. A dry, hacking cough set
in as my trouble grew worse. Sharp pains
would take me in the breast, shooting through
into my shoulder blades There was sense Of
oppression in my chest, as of heavy load
pressing down.
"My breathing became short and labored.
Dark spots would float before my eyes and I
would become weak and dizzy. Palpitation Of
the heart set In. Night sweats came on and
weakened me terribly. i dropped from H5
pounds to 100 pounds. My appetite became
affected. What food l would take on my
stomach seemed to lay there like q stone and
cause me distress and nausea. My sleep was
restless. 1 would get up In tho morning more
tired than when / wont to bed.
II had been treated by u number OF physis
clans In Pittsburg, but received no perma nent
relief. Finally, after reading Of the seemingly
wonderful success Of Drs. Copeland Blair IN
treating cases similar 20 my own, decided TO go
TO theni. l did so. and finding their charges so
much more reasonable than other physlcians,
placed myself under their care. My improve
nent was marked from the start My symptoms
have all disappeared. am better man than
have been for years, and owe my recovery TO
Drs Copeland a Blair"
This statement can be verified at the above
address.

Vidocq was weary OF escapes and
captures. He took vital resolution, a
resolution which affected his whole future
life. He wrote to NJ. Henry, the Chief of
the Police, and offered him his service as
spy.
NJ. Henry wavered. There were points in
vidocq's favor-and there were points
and might be of enormous value. The
very qualities-the strength and courage,
the ready wittedness, the cunning in dis
guise-which had rendered him the dread
oil the police, might render him in turn the
scourge of evil-doers. He could venture
into sums and hells in which no officer
burst show his face; for in these slums and
hells he was paragon-a heroic whom
the sharpest and the boldest reprobate
looked up as disciple to master. His
skill in making an escape was regarded as
unearthly; there was thought TO be no turn
key. at whom he could not snap his fingers,
no fetters that he could not break in sunder,
no wall through which he could not pierce
his way. His advice was sought as if he
were an oracle. Secrets of which the revel-
alton would have hanged dozen men were
whispered eagerly into his ears The lives
ofscores of gallows-birds were at his mercy.
Turned loose among them, in appearance
their confederate, but in secret their be-
trayer, he might well be gilmore profit to the
cause OF law than battalion of armed men.
But was he to be trusted? NJ. Henry
