shr.wd Peter tho Great.

Peter the Great adopted rather a novel
means to convince his subjects that they
should change their clothes to conform
with the modern costumes of western
Europe. Believing, as is well known his
torically, that the future greatness of Rus
STA depended upon the facility with which
it was made to assimilate all that was best
other countries, he had succeeded in In
PRODUCING some important innovation into
the half civilized region over which he held
sway. At length he had patterns of cloth
hung up at the gates of the towns, and
those who did not conform to the fashions
thus set were docked publicly. Albeit this
was done in as pleasant a manner as pos
sible, for Peter believed in being good nat
ured with his people. They, on the other
hand, loudly demurred and used the argu-
ment that what was good enough for their
Sorefathers was good enough for them.
every WE'LL" said the sagacious Peter.
In 1908 he gave q dinner at Moscow to cele-
brate the marriage of n of his testers.
and insisted that it should be conducted in
strict conformity with ancient usage.
There had formerly been a superstitious
custom of not lighting q fire on a wedding.
So Peter made them do without a fire, al
though it was very cold. He wouldn't give
them any wine, because their f%orefathers
never drank it. When they demonstrated
he reminded them that it was a poor rule
which did not work all around, and thus,
by his good natured greatness, wheedled
his people into new coats-about the hard
est thing that can be done with humanity.

Legislation at Pierre.

PIERRE, S. d., Feb. 28.-The judiciary
committee reported the resubmission bill.
The majority report was signed by Kilt
ridge, Flench, Sheaf and Washabaugh; the
minority by jolly. Melville and Preston.
No further action was taken. 1t is not
likely the bill will be put on its final pas
sage for two or three days unless called
up by its opponents.
The senate passed a bill establishing an
artesian well experimental station on school
lands near Huron. The bill requiring the
treasurer to deposit funds with the highest
bidder was lost. Sheaf's bill, establishing
a blind and d, pendent orphan asylum at
Watertown, was lost. Sheaf gave notice
of reconsideration. The house devoted
two hours to routine work, but passed no
bills.
Considering the short time now remain
ing, the house voted to give preference to
the bills OF apportiOnment, of tine revenue,
school law, APP 'rUpriatiOn, irrigation and
election. Pratt is still working for the
Worlds Fair bill. To-day the committee
appointed to see it the opponents would
not consent to appropriate $500 instead
of $4,000. Services were heldO over the re-
mains of Representative Austin and the
funeral party took the early train for Yer
million. Senators Jolley and Bean and
Representatives Teets, Douglas and Convey

In the house the entire morning was
spent in committee of the whole, consider
ing the bill appropriating $4,000 for the
Worlds Fair, and authorizing cnuaties to
issue a special tax of one half mill for

are opposed to the bill. When the COM

+. DeHass q Well-KnOwn Business Man
of St. Paul, Trys to Kill Himself.
ST. PAUL, Feb. ga terrible tragedy
occurred at the residence of Charles Frey,
at 735 East Fifth street, this afternoon. the
deed being the attempted suicide of F. De-
Hass, of the firm of DeHaas & Wander
velde, state agents for tine Germania Life
Insurance company. The deed was done
by shooting himself in the side with a
revolver. The bullet missed his heart and
he is still alive, but in a critical condition.
Physicians give very slender hopes of his
recovery. While the motive has not been
fully ascertained, it is understood that
the firm with the insurance company and
Hubert ellis, secretary. and William Cohn,
general inspector, have been in
st. Paul for a week or ten
days invt stigating affairs, but With
the exception of the nnn collection OF over
due premiums and 4 rather loose manner
OF conducting the books OF the office. they
found everything all right. Upon break
ing the news of the tragedy. both gentle
men were greatly shocked. Mr.. ellis
exclalming: II cannot understand it; there
was no reason why he should commit
such a rash act" In fact. there seems
to be 10 charg. of dishonesty at all
against Mr.. DeIiaas, but it appears that
he apprehended losing his position a.
manager of the company. and it so preyed
upon his mind as to lead to the act. He
has always maintained an excellent repu-
tation for integrity, and while his firm may
have erred in Judgment, and thus made
losses for their company, officials do not
intimate any charges of dishonesty.

The Principal Reason Woman Suffrage

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-This mornings
session of the woman suffrage convention
was opened by prayer by Alice j. Picker
of South Dakota. The first three ad-
dresses of the session were upon the sub
ject of the last South Dakota campaign in
which the question of m suffrage in
that state was the factor. These addresses
were made by Emma Smith Devoe of South
Dakota, Alice Picker Of South Dakota
and Henry B. Blackwell of Massachusetts,.
Mrs. Picker said the suffragists' first rea-
son for ~non-success was that they did not
have votes enough to win. Other reasons
were not material. She mentioned a num-
Der of reasons. however, the most prom
inent being the fact of there being three
tickets in the field from the highest to the
lowest office in the state. Under these
circumstances the friends of suffrage for
women were timid about taking up any
new issue. This campaign, she felt sure,
laid the f%oundatian for the ultimate sue
cess in South Dakota. and that at no dis

The Rise of the Mohawk.

UTICA, n. Y. Feb. 26.-The Mohawk
river at Z O'clock this morning was at the
highest stage it has been since March II,
1865. This forenoon the water has been
receding, and it is now falling almost as
rapidly as it rose last night. A severe rain
storm in the early part of last evening was
the cause of the flood. The river was al
ready at full banks,and when che rain came
the tributaries swept down great streams
and sent the Mohawk booming. There
has been very little damage done in this
city, except that the rising waters flooded
the stores and cellars. The New York
Central and Hudson River railway was
under water at many places along its line
and the trains had to be abandoned and
the passengers transferred to the West
Shore. The Central bridge, below Fort
Plain, has been carried away, and Fort
Plain itself is two feet under
water, and ITS inhabitants are
has formed there. The reports
from the valley Indicate that ice d ms are
becoming more dangerous. The floating
ice lodges against them. AT $50 p. IN. the
water had been spread by the Fort Plain
dam and the West Shore tracks were COW
cred. No trains can now be run on either
the Weat Shore or Central, and unless the
ice breaks soon great damage will result.
The ice at Fort Plain is fully two feet
thick and the water steadily rising. Tele-
graph wires are down all through the val
ley. The bridge near Ames, over the Can
ajoharie creek, was swept away last night.
In fact, all along the Mohawk valley from
here to Schenectady come reports of flood
and damage.

It had the most nourishment, and a date.
because it was the most glorious fruit OF
