AN EMPRESS,S MANTLE.

One of the handsomest silver-weddng
presents received by the Empress of
Russia is an ermine mantle, which cost
over $4,000. 1t was presented to the
Czarina by the nobility of the province
of kherson, but was was made up in
Paris, for the making-up of furs has
been for years and remains still pre-
eminently Partisan art. Partisan fur
riers are almost always intrusted with
the manufacture of the splendid fur
garments that become heirlooms in the
greatest families of Europe. Ermine,
besides being the emblem of royalty, is
also that of purity and stanlessness
but it is, nevertheless, so delicate a fab

ARION,
ALLEGED TWO-YEAR-oLD RECORD 2:Io7i

Yours truly
ALFRED III. COHEN

ALLEGED TWO'YEAR-OLD RECORD 2Io4,
SOLD.
Mr. j. Malcolm Forbes, the owner of
Nancy Hanks, 2:09, is making a bold
bid to stand on the mountains top. He
is now in California, and his critical eve
has rested upon Arion, son of Election
eer and Manette, by Nutwood. This
colt, which trotted to a two-year-old
record of :l03, has been held by his
breeder, Senator Leland Stanford, as
almost above price. But Mr.. Forbes is
a plucky man; he knows that it was
only by the expenditure of an enormous
amount of money that Mr.. Robert Bon
ner has kept the record holders in his
stable; and, therefore, the naming of a
price by Senator Stanford has not ap-
palled him. The sum agreed upon was
more than that paid for Axtell, which
was 100000. The formal transfer has
not yet taken place, but there will be no
hitch in the sale. As Arion is a stallion
of prepotent blood, and with a wonder
full record, his earning capacity in the
stud is very great. Mr.. Forbes and Mr..
w. r. Allen are causing all eyes to rest
upon New England as breeding center.
During his recent visit to Allen Farm
Mr.. Bonner expressed the opinion that
Arion could be bought, and he suggest
ed to Mr.. Allen that he pay the price
and take him. He said that as for himself
he was getting old, and therefore had
not time to wait upon two-year-old.
Mr.. Forbes has simply anticipated ac-
ton. We hope that his pluck will be
rewarded. In answer to an inquiry by
wire, Senator Stanford telegraphed US
from Washington on Wednesday after
noon: 81 gave Mr.. j. Malcolm Forbes
the refusal of Arion at certain price,

New Treatment For Epilepsy.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Dr. Paul Gibier,
president of the New York Psychological
society, read a paper before the Medical
Society of the County of New York on
GA New Agent in the Treatment of Epi-
lepsy." In it he tells of the good results
of scientific treatment which he has ap-
piled to q class of patients for the first
time in this country or elsewhere. The
material used is fluid which the doctor
calls nervine, prepared from the vital Or
gsns of the sheep, after 1t has undergone
certain treatment in the laboratory of the
Pasteur institute. Injections are made
daily in each side of the patient just
above the hip bone. The idea of the new
treatment was derived from the method
proposed by Dr. Brown-Sequsrd, who
| thinks that fluids extracted from young
and healthy organs can give to those
which are abnormal and senile the attrib-
| utes of youth and health.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Dec. 28.-William
J. Leary and George Jennings started with
horse and buggy this morning to go on a
cunning expedition near Long pond, Free

mile north of the center of the city they
stopped to get another drink, but did not
succeed, and Jennings got into an alter

took the gun from the wagon, but for
what purpose is not known, and when q
saloon-keeper, Patrick O'Lsary, made q
grab for the gun 1t was discharged, prob
ably by accident. Alfred Fildes, aged
fourteen years, residing in Fall River, who
was with his parents visiting in this city,
was standing near and received the charge
OF shot on the inside of the right thigh,
eevering an artery and he bled to death In

THE DUBLIN EXPLOSION.

Fears Of a Renewal of the Dynamite
0utrages-London's Public Build.
fngs Closely Guarded-ScotlandY Yard
Detectives Alert.
LONDON, Dec. 26-The suggestion has
been made here that the Dublin explosion
was the work of anarchists and that 1t was
part of plot discovered by the police here
short time ago to carry on dynamite
propaganda in Great Britain in behalf of
the anarchist cause. The officials of SCOT
land Yard, however, condemn this sugges-
ton, as they do the rumors that it was d.
rooted at officers engaged in the recent ar
rests of anarchists. The news of the
explosion caused uneasiness in London.
EARLY yesterday morning the eeenes about
the houses of parliament, tho Tower of
London, the Victor, Charing Cross and
Paadington railway. stations and other
public buildings reminded one forcibly of
the days of the dynamite outrages in this
city. AL the precautions in those trouble
some times were renewed yesterday. The
government buildings were closely watched.
Those who visited the buildings were COM
PEELED to run the gauntlet of q number of
questioners.
The members of the cabinet were ofici-
ally notified of the explosion, as was also
Mr.. Gladstone, who Is at Biarritz, France.
What action they will take is unknown,
but there is nodoubt that orders have been
given to leave no stone unturned In the
endeavor to discover the culprits.
The London police recently received
vague intimations of a possible renewal of
dynamite outrages, and extra precautions
were taken to guard against injury being
done to public buildings. 1t is supposed
by some that the dynsmiters, thus thwart-
ed decided to make Dublin the scene of
their outrage. Secretary Asauith was
busy at the home Office to-day and unusual
activity was displayed at Scotland Yard.
The inquest in the case of Detective
Synnott was held at Dublin to-day Tes-
timony was given by number of persons
who were in the vicinity of the detective
Office when the explosion occurred. Among
the witnesses were q number of detectives
and police officials, Colonel Msjiendie of
London, the explosive expert, and
others. The experts give it as
their opinion that the explosion was
due to the use of some exceedingly high
explosive. The jury In the case rendered
a verdict to the effect that the explosion
was due to the explosion of a high-olass
explosive substance, placed in the court by
a person whose identity is unknown to
the jury. It recommends that the suthori-
ties provide for the family of Detective
