not until this hospitable duty has been
carried out, does he return to the table
where the czarina presides. On such occa-
sions it is safe to say that of all the dia-
monds displayed IN her costume, no single
stone is worth less in value than 100000
roubles. And yet to such scenes as auto
crat of all the Russias, and ruler over mill
lions of men, prefers the peaceful quiet of
his domestic life.
The tzarina is looked upon by the tar as
his fetch, the main spring of his good for
tunes, nor will he consent TO be separated
from her for any length of time. 1t was
not without reason that the late archbish-
ops Nickanow of Odessa, in a recent and
memorable address spoke of the august
couple as affording to the whole world an
example of what Christian union should
be: ANGELS" he added, alluding to
gels surround the tar with their
purity, protecting, through their earn
est prayers, his health and his life"
Before closing this short and unpreten-
tious review of the inner life of Russia's
car, few words may be written con-
corning the children of this powerful au-
tocrat. The cZarowitch is the most charm
ing and atfable young prince that one can
dream of. The kindness of his character
and his pleasant smile Immediately put
one at ones ease.
The Grand Duke George is of an ener-
getlc, almost merry temperament. his ac-
tivity as an officer of the frigate, on which
he made tour of the world. is the best
proof of this disposition. Cheerful and
gay in spirit. he is the very life of the inn
perial palace.
In spite of her youth. the Grand Ouch
ais Xenie already gives every indication of
development into the most charming of
princesses. The characters, too, of the
Grand Duke Michel, and the youngest
born, the Grand Duchess Olga, are full of
hope and promise.
Alexander III. has centered his happi-
ness in his family, his duty in the devel-
opment of the civilization of his vast en-
pire, and when we accept the Titans of an
cient times as the emblem of strength and
power, comparison is by no means out
of place between these halfgods of an
tiquity and the man who is strong enough
to support the weights and cares and re-
sponsibilities of the largest empire on the
globe, and to rule single-handed over a
people before whom lies great and mys-
terious futurel

Income of the Prince of wales.
London Letter.

London Letter.
The Prince of Wales budget consists of
100000 a year Of the government civil
list and the revenue of the Duchy of
Cornwall, amounting to from EDS, 900 to
$4,000 year. The princess on her
marriage received a very small dowry
from her father, the poor king of Den
mark, and she would have been positively
poor in her own right had not parliament
voted her 10000 year. Each OF her
children, and there are five of them, re-
ceiVes from the country an annual income
of 5000. Multiplying these sums by five,
10 get them into dollars, we find that
the revenue of the family is lust about
81 ,O00, 900 year. This ought to keep even
prince, but IL doesn't. Every few years
Wales debts must be paid off by the gov
eminent or by his mother-usually the
former. He keeps up three residences

The horrible crime was discovered by
man picking blackberries in the swamps.
The body was found near building in the
course of construction.
Marks of finger and thumb nails on the
throat of the girl left no doubt that she
had been murdered by being choked. The
neck bore five abraslons, and on the left
side Of the throat the nails of four fingers
had cut into it and the thumb nail had
penetrated the skin on the right side. The
vital organs were in normal condition.
The clothing of the girl was in perfect
order when the body was first diseouered.
There was nothing to indicate that
struggle had taken place. Hundreds saw
the dead girl today, but none knew her.

BREAKING THE SABBATH.
The Tennessee Law Forbids Flowing on
Sunday.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 2.-Distric. Uni
ted States Judge Hammond Las handed
down his decision in the now famous case
of r. l.. King, the Seventh Day Adventist,
who was convicted one year ago of Sabbath
breaking by blowing on Sunday.
The state supreme court affirmed the
sentence and then the AdventIsts and
National Secular Association took up the
case, engaging DON Dickinson as counsel
to argue il before the Federal court. By
Judge Hammond's decision the defendant
is remanded back TO the custody of the
sheriff to serve sentence. The decision is
based not so much on the constitutionality
of the Sabbath clause but upon the fact
that King was convicted under due process
of Tennessee law. and that is not in the
province of the Federal court to review
the case. Judge Hammond rules, how
ever. that if man has set Sunday apart in
due form by his law for rest. it must be
observed as mans law, if not Gods law.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 2O-[Special Cor
respondence when the tidings reached
ST. Petersburg of the death of the Tar
owitch Nicolas Alexandrowitch, the
first effect was one of stupor;
then the people, princes, peasants
and merchants fiocked towards the great
cathedral of Saint Isaac, and, as is their
custom when some great misfortune falls
upon holy Russia, assembled in one COM
monwealth of prayer.
When the sharp edge of their first GRIEF
was in some degree dulled, they looked at
one another and asked: "And the new
tzarewitch, what of himf" They could
only, for the time being, recall to their
minds young man of massive, but Well

CUBA's SUGAR INDUSTRY.
The United States Gets the Largest
Share OF Exports.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-The bureau of
American republics has issued carefully
prepared statistics of the sugar industry of
Cuba, for the last ten years, showing the
total production ofsugar and molasses in
tons TO have been as follows: 1886, 9lS,-
1877; 1857, 100 $685. 1883, sl4, $40; 1889, 661, $50;
1890, 76s,55s. The exports from all parts
of Cuba of sugar and molasses dur
ing the same period has been over 90 per
cent. TO the United States. The balance
went in very small proportions to Eng
land, France and other European coun-
tries.
The bureau has information that there
has just been started in GLASGOW a new
commercial undertaking called 1.-THE
Sugar Trading and Finance Company"
with a capital of $4,000 and $50 shares.
The object OF this company is 10 buy and
sell sugar and other produce and to estab-
lish agencies in the West Indies for that
purpose.

AN ENEMY TO TIMBER.
Whole Forests in Pennsylvania Threat
ened With Destruction.

BRADFORD, Pa, Aug. Potter county
is alarmed and with good cause over the
ravages of a worm that is destroying foli-
age and killing off hundreds OF hemlock
timber. A remarkable scene is presented
in ''choppings." where bark-peelers are al
work. The worms are swarming about
them by millions, while on ali the trees
from ConderspoTt TO Port Allegheny, miles
and miles of trees are turning brown, and
ruin is threatened 20 a vast number OF
interests of that section.
A crisis eonfronts the whole population
of the entire hemlock region of New York
and Pennsy lvania, as the worm is steadily
advancing and spreading, and owing to
their great numbers, working destruction
with inconceivable rapidity.

TEXAS DRoUTH is BROKEN.
Destitution Prevails in the Southw est
Part of the State.


SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Aug. 2-The terri
bic drouth prevailing in Southwest Texas
for the past nine weeks was broken last
night by storm, followed by drenching
rain. Only two showers had fallen for
nine weeks in the vast area south of San
Antonio for 2C0 miles, and west for 400
miles. Cotton bolls began to drop from
the stems, the corn crop was ruined and
cattle ranges have been parched Apall-
ing restitution has prevailed for two
weeks past along the Rio Grande from
Preside to Cameron county. In Hidalgo
and Starr counties many cattle died from
want of grass. The country is now desti-
tute on account of three annual drouths,
and the lawlessness of semi-civilized con-
ditions prevails. Last nights storm was
very severe throughout the country.

PARNELL STILL AN IDOL.
PopuIace Drag His Carriage to the Mar
plaza


DUBLIN, Aug 2-There were triumphal
arches in the streets of Thurles today, and
numerous buildings were decked with flags
and evergreens, because of the Parnellite
meeting held here, which was enthusiastic
and largely attended. Parnell's hearers
were, however, chiefly from the rural
districts.
As Parnell was driving to the place OF
meeting, the horses were detached from
the carriage by men in the crowd. and the
people dragged the vehicle to the market
square.
In speech Parnell reaffirmed his dis
trust of the Liberals and said his policy
would not change. He would keep his
hands unfettered until it was seen how the
Liberals fulfilled their pledges. He would
warn Dillon and O'Brien that they were
following dangerous course in trusting
in Gladstone.

sLAvs VERSUS HUNS.
Fight at Cleveland Over the Services of
Their Priest.

CLEVELAND. o., Aug. 2-There was a
lively time at the st. Lodilas Catholic
church today. The congregation is made
up of Hungarians and Slavs about evenly
divided. There has been great rivalry be-
tween the two nationalities. Finally the
priest, Father Maratowe, decided to hold
service for the Slavs in the morning and
Hungsrians in the afternoon. This morn
ing the Hungarians wished TO dedicate
banner and the priest gave them a
half OF the service. When the Hungar-
ians left the church they created a dis
turbance outside. The Slavs went out and
drove the Huns from the church yard,
using clubs and paving stones. The battle
was in progress when the police arrived
and put stop to hostilities. Itwas neces-
sary to take the priest home under police
escort. No one was seriously hurt, but
there was great excitement.
