THE GLARS LITTLE JOKE.
A Benedicti0n That Was Refused by Hi.
Majesty.

A BenedictiOn That Was Refused by His
Majesty.
The Berlin correspondent of a syndi-
cate of provincial papers is responsible
for the following story: On the occa-
sion of the reassembling of the holy
synod in the Russian capital it was re-
solved to forward to his majesty, in ac-
cordance with traditional usage, the
archipastoral benediction. The clerk
who was employed to prepare the docu-
ment formally communicating the pious
resolution made a curious mistake. By
slip of the pen he wrote architectural
instead of ''archipastoral, and the reso-
luton was forwarded without the error
being detected. When the car received
it he laughed heartily and wrote on the
margin: II have no need of such a
blessing" He then dismissed the mat
ter from his mind. The document. how
ever, with the imperial annexation,
found its way back to the holy synod,
and produced among the members Of
that body the greatest surprise and con-
sternation. Without stopping to investi-
gate the matter the exalted ecclesiasts
who were responsible for the resolution
jumped to the conclusion that they had
in some way or other incurred the cars
displeasure and that his majesty's COM
ment was an intimation to them that
they were expected to Immediately re-
sign. They accordingly went in body
to the imperial palace and humbly ten
dered their joint and several resigna-
tons. 1t was now the turn of the car
to be overwhelmed with amazement
and it was only after great deal Of
embarrassment and reciprocal explana-
tons that the matter was set right
The interview terminated with mild
hint on the part of his majesty that,

THE JUNKETiNo EVIL.

The Habit Of the United States Senate In
Ordering Summer Recess Investigations
Becoming an Expensive Luxury ~ Well
~ Great Evil.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-Some time ago
there was some attention paid in dis
patches to the junketing habit which
has now become a prominent and no
toriouS feature of the United States sen.
ate. Before each adjournment of con-
gress provision is made for junketing
trips. It is done in the form of resolu-
tions instructing different committees
to Investigate" certain things during
the summer recess A lump sum is APP
propriated under the head of "contin-
gent expenses" and under a new lr-
rangement the chairman of each of
those junketing committees draws out
$4,000 to pay for the summers outing
of himself and his colleagues
This year the committee on terrific
ries, of which Plat. of Connecticut, is
chairman, have chosen Alaska as its
summer resort 1t will make very
pleasant trip. 1t is more interesting
than a journey to Norway and Sweden;
1t is more expensive also. But that is a
matter of no special moment as the
people will have TO foot the bill The
este nsiblc purpose of the trip is to study
the needs of Alaska and report what
Legislation is necessary for the territory.
Although there is $4,000 at the DISPOSE
ton of the committee, the members are
not content to make the trip from
San Francisco like plain, ordinary
people who travel for pleasure. They
want to be exclusive and to make a
journey without contact with the vul-
gar mob. They tried to have the fish
commission steamer placed at their SER
vice, but this vessel could not be spared
from her regular duties, and then they
had the gall" to ask the secretary of
the navy to give them the new cruiser
Charleston, now in San Francisco, to
make the trip. The secretary has this
request still under advisement, but it is
believed that he will not consent to it.
1t is about time the people of the
United States understood these junkets.
There is no business whatever per-
formed for the people or in the interest
of the people during these journeys.
They are merely for the pleasure of the
senators, and the people are called upon
to foot the bills. Senator Plumb called at
tention very pointedly to this during the
last session. Hoar, of Massachusetts, was
chairman of a committee on relations
with Canada, and it would seem that
his journcyings would be along the
Canadian border or in Canada, but
Plumb. coolly said, much to the disgust
of Hoar, that he had discovered Hoar
and his committee in southern Califor.
MIA in the fall, about 1000 miles away
from Canada This is the nature OF
these trips. though, in a general way.
they are not meant for anything except
pleasure of the senator's. and as stated

HAUNTED BY A RAT.
A Physician Experimental on the Creature
which Afterward Committed Suicide.

A Physician Experimented on the Creature
Which Afterward Committed Suicide.
DR.. T. J. Richie, physician of Beaver
Falls, Pa, had an experience with rat
recently, which he will not forget for
some time. He had been experimenting
! on rats, dogs and cats and other small
animals for the purpose of studying the
| process of digestion. He would place
the animals under the influence of chic
reform. and then, after cutting them
open and noting the working of the di-
gestive organs, would sew up the
wound anoint it with healing salve
and then let the animal go.
One day he captured large rat and
placed it under the influence of the
drug. when. to his surprise, he discov-
cred that the animal was one he had
previously operated upon.
He examined it for a second. and then,
Just as he turned to his case to get the
necessary instruments to make further
Investigations, the rat revived, jumped
from the table, sprang into the open
fireplace and escaped up the chimney.
The doctor, thinking the rat would pop
out of the top of the chimney. ran out
on the street to see it, but no rat APP
peared.
That night as he lay asleep he was
awakened by a sharp pain in his finger,
and opening his eyes he saw a rat, which
proved to be the one which had escaped
from him the previous evening, scamper
off the bed and up the chimney again.
He examined his finger and found it
badly bitten.
He washed and bound up the wound
and went to sleep, only to be again
awakened by the same rat biting his
nose. He chased it away, but he got
little sleep that night, for the rat kept
returning, and when he attempted to
kill it the willy little creature always
successfully took refuge in the chimney.
The next night and for several nights
afterward the rat disturbed his rest by
its persistent ami bloodthirsty attacks
DR.. Richie couldn't help but be curl
Ously interested in the little fellows
welfare, even though his experience was
rather unpleasant
Finally he stopped up the chimney,
but the rat managed to get out. He
then left the door of his room open,
thinking the rat would seize the chance
to leave the premises. He also set
trap for it, but he didn't catch it until
some time later.
When the rat saw the doctor it showed
every sign of terror, and when he put
the trap on the table and brought out
his bottle of chloroform and sponge it
gave despairing squeak, tore savagely
at its abdomen with its sharp teeth un-
til the wound, only imperfectly healed
from the previous operation, burst open,
its bowels pushed out and the poor lit
tie animal rolled over. kicked convul-
sively and died. 1t had committed sui
eide rather than submit to another
operation.-N. Y. Journal

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, April "a mob
stormed the county jail at Second and
Main streets at l o'clock this morn
ing. 1t was a mob of Infatuated colored
mel, about thirty-five in number,
r.asked with handkcrchiefs, fully
armed and bearing a rope. already
knotted, and which was intended to
choke out the life of William Mccoy
(colored), who last Sunday night bat
tered out the brains of his mistress,
Mollie Magruder. near the Priests of
Pallas hall at Seventh and Lydia
The mob was driven away after shots
were fired and bloodshed seemed immi-
nent
Everything was quiet about the coun.
ty Jail when the mob entered the front
hallway. Deputy Marshal Malloy, who
has charge of the Jail at night was
making the rounds of the cells. In the
marshal's office in the west wing Of the
court house was Deputy Marshal En-
mons. Upstairs Deputy Keshlear was
sleeping. for he was not on duty ut the
time.
The mob entered the front hall quiet
ly. lowered the gas and began pouring
down the stairway to the basement
where the Jail proper is located. They
were checked by the wooden door
which shuts of the ups tairs part of the
building from the visitors lobby in the
Jail. This door the ringleaders of the
mob burst open and had just started
through when Capt Malloy came run.
ming up from the woman's part of the
Jail with a revolver in his hand
Give us those keys" yelled some
one down through the big light shaft.
and the men in the staircase echoed the
cry.
Capt Malloy began firing and the
men began retreating up the stairway.
Had not the door resisted them so long
they would have been at the entrance
to the cells. and then a fight would
have been necessary, for hurried flight
would have been cut off. AS the
negroes began to come up the stairway
Deputy Marshal Keshlear came down
stairs from the second floor, having
been aroused by the shouts and Deputy
Emmons ran INTO the front hallway
from the marshal's Office. Emmons
was seized by the throat by three of the
men who demanded the keys Another
with revolver against Deputy Kesh-
lear's breast cried:
Give us the man who killed that
woman"
The deputy answered in vigorous
words that they could not get Mccoy.
Capt Malloy fred again and the mob
began retreating slowly. 1t scattered
into groups of eight or ten and excited
knots Of men were still lingering bout
the street corners in the north end ut 2
