ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 5.--The letter
which recently appeared in the Ber-
hn9ske Iidende of Copenhagen, in which
Prince George of Greece gave detailed
account Of the attack made upon the
czarewitch at Otsu, near Kioto, Japan,
by Japanese policeman, has greatly
altered the estimates which were at first
formed here Of the princes action upon
that occasion, and has been the means
of placing him in terrible disgrace in
this city. The reason for the altered
feeling entertained for the prince is the
fact that he caused to be published his
own account Of the attack upon the
czarewitch without previously submit
ting the manuscript for revision. II IS
considered here that the story, us told
by Prince George, emphasizes certain
rumors that the czarewitch did not ex-
hlbit much bravery in running away
when he was attacked. Particular Of
fence is taken at the statement In the
princes published letter that, after the
czarewitch had been struck, and while
he was endeavoring to make his escape
from his assailant, he tumbled to the
ground through sheer fright

The Resorts All Have Their Fad--Dress

A wave of social reform seems to
have struck the summer resorts here
abouts. Ocean Grove has led off with
the improved bathing suit. Now Chau-
tauqua merges its philosophical, histori-
cal, literary and polemical efforts into
movement having for its object the
emancipation of women from shirts,
garters, corsets, high heels, collars and
other incidentals Of the prevailing style
of dress. 1t is announced that several
meetings have been held on the subject
and that the reformers will endeavor by
photographs, statues and lectures from
prominent artists, TO change the present
ideal of proportion in the humal figure.
They recommend that each woman sup
ply herself with a good photograph of
the Venus de Milo. They also
suggest the study of such figures as the

CAPE MAY, Aug. Ga run, which at
one time promised TO be quite severe,
was made on the Cape May branch Of
the New Jersey Trust and Safe Deposit
Company of Camden The institution
is patronized largely by tradesmen and
hotel employees, and at this season the
deposits are heavy.
The officials knowing that the COM
pany was perfectly safe We're at loss
to know why the run had commenced.
After short investigation they dlscov-
cred that il had been started by a fool
ish report made by George Love, the
17-year-old son Of head porter Love of
the Stockton Hotel to an old widow
washer at the hotel. Young Love was
arrested.
He told the mayor that he had iok
ingly said to the old man that the bank
was broke. The latter had money on
deposit and Immediately started to with
draw his cash, meanwhile telling other
depostors of the rumor.
The news spread rapidly and soon a
crowd Of people were in line before the
paying-tellers window, anxious to gel
their money.
The arrest Of the starter of the rumor
had the effect of reassurlng the deposi
tors, and by noon the run had ceased.

AT THE MUSICALE.
From maiden amateur we craved song
We fondly fancied that her notes were
songs
And then in unison we urged along
Till she complied-Oh, Heaven right
our wrongs
She sang-but what she sang no ear could
tell;
She shrieked-but what she shrieked no
man might know;
A hundred scales discordant rose and fell;
Pale music, wounded, voiced unlan-
guaged woe.
We yearned for fog horn blasts to assuage
For loud cailiopes to drown the din
For believing drums to roll in mutiled
rage,
For bagpipes with their pibroch shrill
and thin.
We talked of course we talked and
| stroye to smile;
We even laughed, like fends whom
flames torment;
But when the songstress kicked it raised
our bile,
And from that musicale we proudly
went.
