Once a Railroad Fireman in This
Count J, Now a Magnete.
81 Petersburg (Russtd) Letter an New YorA
Tribune.
The recent changes in the imperial cabi
net have resulted in the promotion Of a man
who is of especial interest to Americans. He
was at one time, in fact, an American ciu-
! zen, and earned his bread in lowly calling
in the great transatlantic republic. The
/ Russio- American TO whom | refer is Prince
Chllkow, who is 20 be the chief aid of the
new minister of rail ways and transporta-
ION, one of the most important offices in
the empire.
Few arlstocrats Of Russia have had ca
reers more romantic-romantic at least in
! a certain sense-and unusual than he. The
son OF noble family Of the highest class
as indicated by his name and title. Prince
| Chllkow thirty-five years ago was one Of the
marked young men Of the capital. His
wealth, title and talents made him a well
come guest in every home which be visited.
Women 1attered him and men envied him.
But reverses came. His manner of life was
rapid and expensive. and, as a result, after
few years of luxury, ease and social sue
cess he found himself penniless. But he
was brave fellow, and looked poverty
squarely in the face Instead Of seeking
some lonely spot in which to commit sui
eide, as have many OF his kith and Kin under
like circumstance he determined TO begin
life anew
Bidding farewell to his friends and COM
panions OF his idle youth, he emigrated to
America, there 10 seek fame and fortune.
He found neither. but he proved his pluck.
He secured place as fireman on an engine
In one OF the railroad companies of the
east, and worked as hard as though his
hands had always been used to toll. He
mastered the rudiments of his trying call
ing, became an engineer and finally an as
sistant statlonmaster, He had turned his
back so squarey upon his old life that he
was able to save little money. After get
ting together few hundred dollars he re-
turned to Russia and became a stationmas-
ter at little town on a railway in the
south at a salary of 1000 roubles or $3.50
year.
Tie men Of the day in St. Petersburg did
not lose sight Of the famous American fire.
man, although he was far distant from the
capital; and when Gen. Petrou, a relative
of M. Wyschnegralski, minister Of finance,
resigned, few days ago, the new minister
OF railways called him here as Pretou's suc-
cessor. Chilkows star is rising, and many
of his friends looked upon him as one Of the
coming men of the empire. Indeed the day
may not be far distant when the former
American fireman may be one of the chief
advisers of the Gear of all the Russias. Suc-
cess has not spoiled him, and court uniforms
and gold lace will never lead him to forget
the days when he wore the blue blouse of a
laborer.

THEATRICAL 10 ODoos.
Many of the Evil Omens That Hove
Over the Profession.


Over the Profession.
From the Chicago Herald.
A person with cross or squirt eyes is con-
sidered a hoodoo on the stage. Woe to the
company which carries a man or woman
with his or her optics in this condition. Dis.
aster dire will surely overtake them. Like
wise a lameness. a club foot or a deformed
hand will give to the person 80 afflicted the
dreaded title and make it almost impossible
for him to STRUT his hour upon the STAGE
To have a cross-eyed person look you
squarely in the face is a sign T bad luck
for thirty days. An antidote TO the effect
of the evil eye is TO cross your first fingers
on each hand. and then eject spittle three
times through the notch thus formed. To
turn on your heel three times and spit over
your left shoulder will it is thought, avert
the evil.
To whistle in the theater during a res
hearsal is sign that some one will die, or
that you are piping" a member of the
company out of the engagement. There is
nothing 10 counterfeit the evil of this.
There is not a player IN the land to-day
who will not think twice before signing
with company whose total number of ao-
tors will be just thirteen. 1t is considered
by all that not only will the company fail,
but one Of the thirteen who start out will
come back corpse.
The number thirteen is the great dread of
the profession. A street car, bus, hack or
other vehicle numbered l3 will get no pa
tronage from a member of the profession;
and as for sleeping in hotel room with the
ominous Is on the door. heaven forefend
They won't do it. Ask why and they will
only say they don't like to-that's ALL Su.
perstitious! 0, mol Not bit! but no No.
ID in theirn.
To rehearse play on Sunday is a sure
sign that that play will not be a success for
the manager ordering the rehearsal, and
that salaries will be lost by all who so par
ticipate on the Lords day. To twirl a chair
at rehearsas Is just as good as betting on a
sure thing that a fight will disrupt the
friendship OF at least two members and per-
haps cause loss to the management for that
week.
The raising OF an umbrella in the theater
is also a bad omen for the business. Where
Is the man of fearless heart who will sing
the music of Macbeth or Meg Merrilies
other than at the rehearsal or production Of
those plays! Should he attempt it he will
be sat down upon" in great shape and very
hard by the other members of the company.
OF all bad omens the singing of that music
is among the worst.

GRIFFIN. GA, April 14-Last nights
meeting Of the Knights of Honor was a
regular old-fashioned camp meeting re-
vival. Everybody got happy and every
body was glad to be knight Of Honor.
And it was all on account of the presence
of the supreme grand dictator. Samuel

vantages. This morning at S O'clock be de-

insurance in general and the knights of
Honor in particular. He pictured in
eloquent language the beauties If that hus
band and father who by death is denied
supporting his loved ones, but who provides
by life insurance against their future wants
He contrasted this picture with its opposite,
and undoubtedly made many CONVEX to
insurance by his speech. MIR. klOtz is a
jolly, good natured gentleman, with vein
of humor that would crop out in his most
pathetic pictures. At 10 o'clock the l7th

with which Griffin gentleman is honored,
is one Of great responsibility and import
ance, but the gentleman selected is a
man who knows no word above duty, hence
the choice of the order in selecting Abel
Lower was a wise one. At 2 o'clock the
delegates were shown over the city by citi

guests The delegates left for home to-
night highly pleased with Griffin aud her

Prevalence of Absinthe Drinking.
Frou the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

'Absinthe drinking is being carried on

Brown of Chicago at the Laclede, that
1t would seem to possess an irresistible
temptation for all, but especially young
men, and not only absnthe, but cocaine is
being used in larger quantities than 1
believe has been known at any other time.
Some people may argue that absinthe has
no disastrous qualities. Do not believe in
the argument Medical science shows that
tits the worst of all stimulating drinks. Its
effects somewhat resemble those produced
by other alcoholic liquors, and some
doctors have therefore gone to the extent of
declaring that there is no difference in the
injury it produces. The best authorities.
men who speak from knowledge acquired
both by study and by experiment, show
that when used to excess it produces a men
tai and nervous condition which seldom
follows the abuse of the strongest OF
other intoxicants. Disarrengement of the
nerves, unbearable headaches, ter
rifying hallucinations-all these things fol
low its constant abuse. The ultimate end
to which these things lead is apparent ia

journals Of the country.

The Anvil and the Bear.
NeC York Sun

Henry and Jarvis Camp Of Root Hollow.
Wyoming county, missed a sheep one morn
ing this month, and found bear tracks and
blood in the snow outside Of the barnyard
fence. They tracked the bear TO a gorge
nearly two miles west of their place. where
they lost the track in hole in the rocks
There were bits OF wool on the edges of the
stones, and the young men, feeling certain
that they had holed the sheep~killer. went
home and drew couple Of anvils to the
gorge in sleigh. They loaded one Of the
anvils with powder, put the other anvil on
top Of it, placed them on plank and pushed
them as far into the BEARS den as they could
Then Jarvis applied a slow match to the
powder, and he and his brother ran TO safe
distance.
Presently the anvils doomed, the rocks
shook, and the smoke poured out of the
hole. Henry was ready to shoot the bear
with rifle, expecting that the noise would
drive him out. In a moment the bear
dashed out of another hole few Yards un
the gorge, ran along a shelving rock, and
dived into a mass Of brush Just as Henry
fired at him. He didn't hit the bear, and
the frightened old brute made tracks over
the hill toward the north. The Camp BOYS
followed him into Highriter's swamp.
where they gave up the chase in an hour
or so.
That night the bear returned to his den
eighth night he came out, walked around in
the snow for while. AMI went back. The
Camp brothers had visited the gorge every
day and they had came to the conclusion
that the bear had devoured the sheep and
was getting hungry again. He gave them
no chance to shoot him, and they made up
their minds to trap him. That afternoon
they nailed "a calts liver to tho trunk of a
tree few rods down the gorge aud hung
one of the anvils fifteen feet above it, fixing
the rope in such way that the anvil would
drop to the ground the moment the began
TO yank at the bait.
Jarvis went to the gorge the next morn
ing, and from a distance he saw that
the anvil had fallen. He carried rifle. and
hurrylng to the tree he found a wildcat
lying under the anvil crushed to death. He
got Henry as soon as lie could, and the two
pulled the anvil up again and reset it. On
the third morning Henry found the bear
lying dead with his nose against the tree.
The point Of the anvil had been driven
three inches into the bears skull. The bears
throat was pinned to toe roots of the tree.
and the bold sheep thief ad died in his
tracks. He weighed 334 pounds.
