Health and Beauty.

Health. its understanding apd pres
ervation. is fad just now. Lectures
on the subject in any Of its branches
are eagerly patronizcd b. society lead
ers. Probably this is because beauty
of face and form were never more con-
sidered than at present. and our wom-
en- are beginning to find that there is
no real beauty without sound health;
this is one ostensible reason for the
craze. Another is that women do
more. achieve more than ever before,
and consequently they care more to
hear how they may keep themselves
in proper condition for work. A we'll
trained mind is not the first thought,
although it is an important one: it is
the well-trained mind in q well-trained

Added to these. the idea has pos

DEATH EXPECTED AT ANY TIME.

The Marriage of the Cxarowitz and Princess
AIIx VIII Take Place within n Month.
The Bride-Elect Is Now En- Route to
Livndia,
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. i9.-Frayers for
the recovery of the car were offered yes
terday in the Kazan cathedral Hence
forth bulletins telling Of his majesty's
condition will be posted on the streets.
An official dispatch indicating the sud-
den gravity Of the cars condition was
sent TO Darmstadt, and a reply was re.
ceived saying that the Grand Duke Of
Hesse- Darmstadt and the Grand Duchess
Ssrgius, his sister, had started for St.
Petersburg.
The news from Livadia has caused con-
sternation In st. Petersburg, and there's a
general feeling that the end may be e1-
pected any day. Consequently great anx-
iety Is expected regarding the consequences
of the czars sudden demise.
The announcement that the condition
of the car has perceptibly changed for the
worse was contained in an official bulletin
issued at II o'clock Wednesday night at
Livadia, and signed by Professors Leyden.

allen ANbEh III.
Hirsch, Zacharin, Popoff and Beljaminoff.
The bulletin added that his majesty
sh owed symptoms of general debility, and
that his weakness Of heart was more pro-
noupced. The bulletin produced most
depressing effect here, and caused agita-
ton on the bourse.
Pere Ivian, otherwise known as Holy
John of Cronstadt," who is going to Liv-
ada to pray for the car, is q miracle
worker.
The physicians have prepared the czarina
for the worst. The czar realizes his con-
dition, and wants to witness the marriage
Of the czarowitz before he dies.
1t is impossible now to ignore the serious
reports Of cancer, or at least serious COM
plications. The bulletin causes keen sor-
row among all classes. Crowds gather at
the places where copies Of the bulletins are
posted and cross themselves devoutly as
they read the painful news, which is taken
TO indicate that the case of his majesty is
hopeless. Beside the bulletin of the doc
tors Is posted the cars telegram ito the
Cossack regiments here, saying that he
drinks to the health of his brave Cossacks
on the occasion of their annual fete. There
seems to be a pause in all government
work.
BERLIN, Oct. 19,-The Cologne Gazette
has dispatch from St. Petersburg stat
ing that the car appears to be dying. All
the members of the imperial family are en-
route to Liyadia, where his majesty is 30
journing.
The dispatch adds that it is reported that
after the reception Of Princess Alix, the
czarowitz's betrothed, into the orthodox
church, quiet wedding will follow. The
marriage will take place in Livadia before
Nov. go, on which day the great fasts of
the church begin,
1t is further said that the formal appoint
ment Of the czarowitz as regent is hourly
expected. 1t is persistently stated that
Pobiedonoszeff resigned the procurator-
ship of the holy synod week ago, but that
his resignation was not accepted.

George Heating, whose injuries were at

rumor that an attempt on Sheriff Cooks
life would be made, but this cannot be
traced to any reliable source. Cook has
returned from Columbus, but has kept in

him.

formed that II the Republicans secure con-

tain his seat in the senate, and will not
qualify as governor, even though he be
elected.
'There is no doubt whatever" said the
gentleman, THAT Senator Hill will keep
his seat in the United States senate even
though he win In the gubernatorial race,
rather than allow the Republicans to name
his successor. OF course the Democrats
are going to make a strong effort to elect
largo number Of their assemblymen. With
the Legislature Democratic on joint ballot
Mr., Hill will take his seat II elected.
II am of the opinion that If Hill should
be elected governor, and the legislature be
Republican, the voters of the Democratic
party would not condemn him If he al
lowed Lockwood to qualify as governor.
Some ~ Hills most trusted lieutenants
approve of such a move, and unless he
changes his mind between now and New
Years he will not take his seat in the gov
ernor's chair unless there is Democratic
majority in the legislature on joint ball
