shown in his greatly increased difficulty in breathing and in repeated periods of unconsciousness Within the last week the cZar's nervousness has grown so rapid ly as to make him irritable, greatly lesscn- ing his chances of recovery.
 The informant added that, although the czar fully expects to die. he is eager for his removal to Corfu, the latter step be. coming imperative if the only chance to save his life is utilized.
 Professor Leyden will reach Livadia on Saturday night and will accompany the cZar to Corfu, where he will remain until the crisis is over. having received six months leave of absence from tho Prus- sian government. The distinguished Ger man specialist persists in his rather favor able diagnosis of the czar case and fully believes that if it is loft entirely in his hands he will be able to effect a cure.
 Koch Hopes to Save the Czar.
 Professor Lcyden has taken to Livadia a liberal supply of drugs, his operating tools and a new remedy. supposed to be 3 specific against the disease, prepared by Professor Koch and in which Professor Koch and Professor Lcyden both have much hope.
 The officials of tho Russian embassy have no doubt that the czar has tho best chance obtainable in Professor Leydcn S hands because he is to place himself un- reservcdly under the orders of the German physician and has as preliminary dis missed Professor Zacharin. his greatest danger, unless from the disease itself But half n chance is now given nature and the doctor.
 The reason for the cZar's incessant wor- rying was first about the plainly approach ing death of his son George and, second ly. the conduct of the czarowitz, who stubbOrnly refuses to marry Princess Alix. The reason assigned for this refusal Is the great love of the czarowit: for his mistress, a most beautiful Jewess who seems to have great hold upon him that for the sake of keeping her he has offered to renounce his rights of success sion to the throne. But the cZar will not permit this, not approving of il for fam fly reasons. At the samo time the czar fears for the welfare of Russia and per haps for tho peace of Europe if n regency is necessary.
 These worries. Professor Leydcn asserts, constitute the greatest feature of the oZar < case.

CANNOT CUT WAGES.
An Important Decision Against a RsiI.
 road Receiver.

OMAHA, Oct l2.-Judge woolson, in the federal court, decided that the receiver of tho Omaha and St. Louis railroad must not roduoc the wages of tho employees. Io recites the doctrine laid down in the recent decision of Judge Caldwell that employees must be paid fair wages, even though no dividends may be paid. and holds that this rule must govern.
 A comparison with the wages paid on other roads running through tho same kind of country follows, showing that the former arc not in excess excepting in two small branches of the service. where a slight reduction Is permitted. The court says:
 The receiver shows that a largo num- ber of railroad men are out of employ ment so that tho places could be filled for less money. The court cannot regard this as having much weight Tho reten- tion of the faithful, intelligent and oapa- ble employees Is of more importance than n temporary decrease in earnings, and the court would not Do justified in dis. charging satisfactory employees because of present ability to employ others at re- duced wages, thus perhaps rendering the road liable to accidents, for which the court would be legally and morally re- snonsibla

CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT DOGS.
Eskimos Find the Faithful Animal n Ne
CessitY of Their Miserable Existence.

Eskimos Find the Faithful Animal n Ne
cessity of Their Miserable Existence.
without dogs the larger portion of
the great Eskimo family peopling the
barren northern coast of America would
find it impossible to exist in its chosen
home" So writes E. w. Nelson in his
mammals of Northern Alaska" They
are used in the winter for hunting,
sledge drawing and the like, but in sum-
mer are mostly left to shift for them
selves. They receive much hard usage,
rs we'll as do much hard work, but are
described nevertheless as rollicking
set, full of play, fond of human society
and quarrelsome as schoolboys.
Mr.. Nelson credits them with vein of
humor and declares that their varying
characteristics can be read in their faces.
They are worth from So to $15 apiece. ac-
cording to age, size and intelligence.
For sledge drawing they are harnessed
in teams of either seven or nine-three
or four pairs and a leader. The load is
from $50 to 700 pounds, and the courseis
mainly through unbroken snow or over
rough ice. With a team of seven dogs
and load of more than 800 pounds Mr..
Nelson lnaue IL Journey VI HOle tudli
1900 miles in about two months. The
last 60 miles were made over a bad road
in a continuous pull of 81 hours. They
are much affected by the moon. During
full moon half the night is spent by them
in bowling in chorus.
During the entire winter at st. Mi
chael's," says Mr.. Nelson, 1--WE were inva-
riably given chorus every moonlight
night, and the dogs of two neighboring
villages joined in the serenade." He
speaks of it's wild, weird harmony"
and seems to have found it agreeable
rather than otherwise. The influence of
the moon is also very apparent when the
dogs are travelling. They brighten up
as the moon rises, and pricking up their
ears start off as if they had forgotten
their fatigue. The fur traders take adj
vantage of this fact and sometimes lie
over during the day and travel at night.
The dogs endure an astonishing degree
of cold. Mr.. Nelson saw female with
two newly born puppies lying upon the
snow near hut, with no sign of shelter,
when the thermometer ranged from 80
to So degrees below zero.

Van Beers' LA Sirene.n

Jan Van Beers first great hit, LA
Sirene,' representing a naval officer
helping a pretty girl into a yacht gig,
underwent some strange vlClsSltudes.
The picture, as we are told, was exhib-
tied at the Brussels salon, and having
been distinguished by royal notice the
critics and brother artists were soon in
full cry. They declared that Jan Van
Beers could not have produced such
elaborateness of finish and minuteness
of detail had it not been that he had
painted over photograph.
The pugnacious young Belgian did not
sit quietly down under what he termed
this Infamous assertion. The head of
the young yachtswoman had been spe-
cially assailed, and he offered to allow
his critics to scratch the head out and
chemically destroy the c0lors down to
the white canvas, and should there be
found any trace of a photograph he
pledged himself to pay over 81 900. On
the other hand, should it be shown that
the picture owed its art to the sole agen-
cy of brush and pencil, then his critics
were to pay like sum to his pet home
for iucurable idiots or some such insti-
tuition.
Needless to say, the challenge was not
taken up, but a short time after, while
the picture was still in the gallery, the
head of the lady was surreptitiously cut
out and the picture otherwise defaced.
Fortunately the painter was able to set
it all right again with few days hard
labor. and it now belongs to wealthy
South American lady and is understood
to be in London. The right of reproduce
ton was sold by the artist for 1000
francs, and he believes the publisher
who bought it made something like 10O,-
900 francs profit out of it.-Pall Mall

Tho Gnillnfina.

The striking thing about the execu-
tion was the appalling quickness of it
all. Action was so rapid from the in
slant the condemned appeared in the
doorway of the prison to the moment
the knife fell that it was almost impos-
sible to distinguish the slight chain of
incidents. He flung himself eagerly
against the plank, was strapped to it,
and in the flash of glance the plank
was pushed forward on the platform of
the guillotine. An instant's vision of
a recumbent figure, face downward. In
the same moment head, with two
staring, wide open eyes, whirled almost
defiantly, as it seemed, and with a
slight zigzag movement to the right
ward, while simultaneously the pinioned
body rolled inert, convulsive, into the
capacious basket, also at the right hand
side of the guillotine. The swiftness,
the mechanical promptness of the bust
ness, fairly stupefied the spectator. 1t
was impossible to realize that human
life had ended in less time than it would
take to draw full breath. The guillo-
tine had done its work we'll. There was
scarcely a sense Of horror in the sight.
