THE FAMINE In RUSSIA.
MATTERS IN THE STRICKEN DIS
TRICTS GROWING WORSE.
Exasperated Peasants Turn Against the
Doctors-The Lives of Governors
Threatened-A Mutiny of Troops at
Wilma.

ST.. PETERsB uRe, Jan. 27.-Matters in
the famine-stricken districts are grow
ing worse. In many instances the ig-
norant peasantry, exasperated by hun
ger and sickness, have turned against
the doctors on account of the latters'
failures to effect cures, and the physi-
clans are fleeing in terror. In some
cases where the governors of provinces
have threatened to call out the military
to. preserve order, the peasants have
plainly told the governors if the mill.
tary is called out they (the peasants,
will kill the governors.
In some instances the peasants have
attempted to derail passenger trains by
tearing up portion of the tracks.
The men of the regiment stationed al
Wilma have been displaying a muuinoul
spirit, and today refused to salute an
artillery officer. The officer thereupor
drew revolver and shot two non-com
missioned officers. AS he was about to
kill third, the men complied with the
regulations, and saluted.

Copper Mines in New Jersey.

Copper mines were operated before the
Revolution near Pennington, N. j., by
an English company, and since that time
the history of these deposits has been a
varied one. In 1885 a company was
formed with the intention of developing
the copper on the Rockafellow property.
Three English miners were engaged, and
in opening one of the pre-Revolutionary
shafts, about fifty feet below the surface,
they came across some mining tools,
such as wedges and picks and an oak
bucket, strongly bound with iron, of
about two bushels capacity. They found
an irregular chamber about fifteen feet
square from which they believed copper
ore had been taken.
This experiment was failure, as were
the attempts of numerous companies for
the next thirty years. The best results
ever secured was to produce copper at
the cost of one dollar a pound when it
was selling at eighteen cents in the mar
ket. The trouble appears to be that the
copper exists only in small pockets and
not in sufficient quantities to pay for the
labor of getting it out.-Philadelphia

Gene Maxwell Hunting for Bogus
Butter.


Butter.
Gene Maxwell is after oleomargarine
now. He is deputy internal revenue
collector for this part of the state, and
has heretofore looked after the govern
ments interests about cigar factories,
distilleries, and Chinese opium jaints.
Lately his labers have been directed,
by orders of the department, against
the dealers in oleomargarine in this city.
There is federal license of $3.50 year
imposed on all wholesalers of the bogus
butter, and it is felony to deal in the
article without license. There is also a
state law requiring all hotel and restau-
rant keepers who use the article to dis
play sign in their dining rooms to that
effect. There has never been any at
tempt in that city, however, to enforce
this statute.
There is further law requiring all re-
tailers to open the Wholesale packages
they purchase at once, and to stamp
each piece of oleomargerine with its
name.
Mr.. Maxwell is working with a view
to the enforcement of these laws. He
has detected a number OF violators of
the federal statutes here, and is await
ing reply from the chemist to whom
he submitted number of captured sam
pies for analysis, when he will COM
mence some prosecutions. Besides the
offenders here he has discovered several

How Prince Luoien Bonaparte Was Uned

How Prince Lucien Bonaparte Was Uffed.
It was said that there was no word in
language or dialect which Prince Lucien
was unable to trace to its chronological
source. But he got logged once. It was
at Exeter. He was seeking a knowledge
of the great Devonshire language from
Mr.. Baird, the poet in dialect of the Dew
onshire nation. He asked at well
known newspaper Office where Mr.. Baird
wrote his weekly verses, 'sIs Mr.. Baird
inw There was boy at the counter.
The boy replied with an affirmative
which can be only dimly represented by
the letters "uff," made by drawing the
breath inward. The prince repeated the
question. The boy again breathed him a
reply. The prince became angry. 81
ask is he in?' The boy again drew in his
breath between his lips. Then the prince
smiled. Mr.. Baird met him and found
that he had forgotten his vexation in his
desire to investigate new chronological
problem. "What do you mean in Dew
onshire," he cried, 'by 'uff'Y' For half
an hour the prince and the poet tried to
get to the bottom of the problem, when
at last the fact dawned on Mr.. Baird's
mind that he had tried to teach the prince
what was unteachable. He made the
prince SO disconsolate that the people in
the county are quite capable of saying
that Prince Lucien died of vexation at
his inability to say 'Yes' in the great
Devonshire language, or to explain the
origin of an inspiratory Affirmative

What a Baby Did in One Hour.

What Baby Did in One Hour.
Uncle Will, the good natrlred bachelor
of the family, was left in charge of the
baby one day while every one else was
out, and out of curiosity he made list
OF what the baby did in one hour. Here
it is:
Yelled fifteen minutes without taking
breath. Uncle Will declares solemnly
that this is true statement.)
Pulled out enough hair from his uncle's
head and whiskers to stuff sofa pillow.
Crooked the wall paper as high as he
could reach with the poker.
Broke stereoscope by sitting down
on it.
Swallowed six buttons and a good
part of a spool of thread.
Emptied the contents of his mothers
workbasket down the furnace register.
Tried to squeeze the head of the cat
into tin cup, and was scratched badly
in the attempt.
Knocked the head off of fine wax
doll belonging to his older sister by try
ing to drive tack into toy wagon
with it.
Fell off the edge of the whatnot and
brought down with him two costly vases
which were ruined.
Broke two panes of window glass with
cane which uncle let him have.
Fell into the coalhod and spoiled his
new white dress.
Set fire to the carpet while uncle was
out of the room hunting up something to
amuse him.
Crawled under the bed and refused to
come out unless uncle would give him
the molasses jug.
Got twisted into the rungs Of chair
which had to be broken to get him out.
Poured pitcher of water into his
mothers best shoes.
Finally, when he saw his mother COM
ing, he ran out to the porch and tumbled
off the steps, making his nose bleed and
tearing hole a foot square in his dress.
And yet Uncle Will thinks that boy
will make something yet.-Youth's Com

The I6o-Pound Men to Fight To

The 16o-Pound Men to Fight To-
night.
There will be several interesting settos
at the Paetime club this evening before
Dan Connor and Jack McCauley appear
for their fight. AS before announced,
both men are required to weigh in at
100 pounds. Dan Connor is a very
likely looking young man and halls from
Boston. He has beaten a number of
men, none of whom are known in the
west.
McCauley was we'll known in fistic
circles before the establishment of clubs
similar to the California club. He has
not done much fighting in the past three
years. He has met such men as Pro-
fessor Young Dutchy, AL Stewart and
several others of like caliber. The
fighting is liable to be lively from the
start and the chances are that it is
liable to end before the tenth round.
The weather is not liable to interfere
with the attendancs.

said today that his advices from the

the fact that there is far more sick

and consequently many cancellations OF

report that there is still an increase over
the number of persons to come during
February and March, as compared with
last year. 1t is difficult to make an esti-
