PASSED AWAY.
After a Lingering and Painful Hines
the Gar Meets Death.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 1.-The
angel of death, in the shadow Of
whose pinions the autocrat Of all the
Russlans has been lying for many
days, today beckoned, and the soul of
the man who had in his hands the
lives and destinies of millions upon
millions Of men, was borne away.
Calmly and peacefully as sleeping
babe he, who ny his slightest word
could have plunged Europe into war,
the horrors Of which would defy
description, fell into the dreamiess
sleep which he feared not.
He, though the head of the church
whose members number over Z, ,000, 900
persons, took his last rites few days
before death claimed him from all his
greatness. AT 2:l5 O'Clock this after
noon the summons came, aud y few
hours later the thunderOus. booming
cannon at Livadia and st. Petersburg
announced that the czar was dead
and that he who had been the Grand
Duke Nicholas reigned in his stead.
On lightnlng's wings the news OF
Russla's loss spread throughout the
world, and 1t Is safe 10 say that every
where the intelligence created SYM
pathy for the family Of him who by
his policy had maintsined the peace
OF Europe From America came
words of sympathy for the dead ruler
had always been q friend Of the great
republic of the West, and America
and Americans have not forgotten
how we'll his fathers friendship sus.
tained the North In the war of the
rebellion.

After Sixteen Years.

Sixteen years of liberty is sweet,
but Chas. Mclean thimks that recapt-
ure at the end Of such q lorg time is
most bitter. In 1873 Chas. Mclean, a
white man, was convicted of horse
stealing In the Desha county Circuit
Court and sentenced to serve seven
years III the State penitentiary. He
served three months and then sue
ceeded In eluding the guards and
escaped. He could not be found, and
seemed to have disappeared entirely.
He was not heard Of again until last
week, when he was discovered as y
fairly prosperous farmer. He was At
once arrested and last Sunday again
donned the stripes within the walls
OF the penitentiary he had not seen in
sixteen years. tie has been fully
identified, so there eau be no mistake.
He claims that he is not the right
man, and that his uncle is the escaped
convict. His uncle, he says, gave him
$500 and two yellow ponies to assume
his name. He was q years old when
convicted.-Little Rock Democrat.

Senator Jones.
This paragraph from the Fort Smith
Times, usually fair and just, Is utterly
unworthy of that paper:

This paragraph from the Fort Smith
Times, usually fair and just, is utterly
unworthy of that paper:
Senator J. X. Jones. travelling through the
Democratic campaign speeches, is really engaged
In Q campaign for reelection He knows that
for time tariff reform Democrats smarted under
that some Of the resentment then occasioned
may fall later on his devoted head. So he Is
around expOunding the beauties Of the new law
for Senatorial purposes.
The Times knows full we'll that the
"protective features" of the new tariff
bill are rs odious 10 Senator Jones as
they are to any Democratin the land.
They know that they were not of his
making. But there is another side to
the question. Every we'll informed
Democrat knows that the present law,
as q whole, Is grand achievement
compared with any tariff law for
more than forty years and that to
James X. Jones more than to any
man within the limits of the United
States, 40 we owe the credit for that
law. Think of the pitiable condition
to which the country and the Demo
cratic party would have been sub
jected but for the passage of this law.
And when We reflect that Senator
Jones has done his full duty as a
campaign speaker In every campaign,
whether tho Senatorial election was
near Or distant, the assertion that lie
lis really engaged In . campaign fol
reelection" the injustice and male.
violence of the above attack becomes
apparent.-Little Rock Democrat.

fair or just in speaking of Senator
Jones and the same might be said
of other Fort Smith papers.

Senator Hill.

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. GA mass
meeting, the proportions OF which
have never been paralleled In Albany,
was the result tonight Of fusion of
the two branches of the Democracy 10
tender a greeting to Senator Hill, who
is now resident of this city. A
noticeable feature of the affair was
the presence on the stage of Congress
man Charles Tracy, who is looked
upOn as u personal representative Of
President Cleveland. At least Is 600
men took part In the escort Of Senator
Hill to the hall. Among them was q
body of Grand Army veterans and
two labor organizations.
The Democratic Phalanx that
escorted Cleveland to Washington
when he was inaugurated was ap-
plauded to the echo when they entered
the hall. When Senator Hi l was In
trOduced he WAS received with q storm
of applause. During his interesting
speech he said:
"Two years ago in this hall I had
the pleasure of speaking for your
national ticket Of Cleveland and
Stevenson, and now again address
the united Democracy of Albany
county, . Democracy united for
victory. I call your attention to the
fact tht tahe campaign of 1892 was one
that was won on its merits, and AIN
convinced that we can win all our
campaigns In the same way. When
I started the campaign this year I
determined that 1t should be as c can
as that one, and have not the time
to notice every dog that barks at my
heels, despite the fact that orators of
the other party are violent and vicious
In their attacks. I can stand or can
fall Oh the principles and platform Of
my party and not deal In personal
itles." (Applause.)
Speaking Of the Mckinley bill, he
said: ~ do not believe the people in
tend to change, nor eau they b, led to
change their decisive verdict of 1892.
All can say of Mr.. Mckinley Is that
he has run mad OH the high protective
tariff question, and he and other Re-
publican leaders seem to have lost
their reason. Will not insult your
Intelligence by again discuss ing these
questions. Your verdictin 1892 shows
that you have thought these questions
out for yourselves. IF we do not euc-
ceed this Fall we will in the end, just
so sure as the sun Shines"

and offer to vote, and on being refused
their vote. they will have list Of
their names sent to John H. Robert

Democrats Sanguiue.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-At the Demo

that CANVASS shows 81, 900 majority

1900 In Kings county. They added
of course, the Republican majority
North OF Harlem will not reach 40, 900.
Gov. Flower, most aaiute political
observer, eays $4,000. This will give

John HallGran was ut the state

noon with $40, 600 to bet on the election
of Strong and Gof. but there were no
takers. He offered 5000 to "a 500 on

Very few people realize the
extent to which the newspapers
are drawing upon the timber
resources of the country tor pulp
material for the paper upon which
their editions are printed. 1t is
estimated that the white paper
for the daily supply Of the several
editions of the New York World
requires oil the marketable spruce
lumber fit to cut which grows on
seven acres of average spruce
forest. The Boston Globes edi-
ton requires the growth of three
acres of New England spruce
forests. The wood pulp now
used In the United States requires
about 1900 cords of spruce daily,
or 100000 feet of spruce logs
for every twenty-four hours
amounting to 500, 600, 900 feet per
annum. That amount of lumber,
now going to waste, a. soon as
the newspaper is day old, used
to suffice to build houses intended
to last half u century or more.
The pulp drain upon spruce
forests uses up the mature timber
of loo, 900 acres q year.-SOutherh

His Jugular Vein Severed.

DETROIT. Mich, Oct. 3O.-A man
living with his jugular vein severed is
attracting attention here. His name
Is Dee Wade.
Wade came to Harper Hospital
several weeks ago to have removed .
tumor which involved the jugular
vein IN the neck. The tumor, which
was Of II years growth, covered one
side of the mans neck. The operating
surgeon made AL inclsion directly
across the tumor aud then proceeded
to separate the skin from 1t. He dis
sected around the tumOr and found
that the removal Of All inch aud half
Of the vein was necessary.
With one stroke the surgeons knife
went through the vein and 1t was cut
again In another place. The ends
were clamped to prevent the loss Of
blood. The ends of the nerve trunks
were then stitched together, the
cavity was sponged with bichloride of
mercury solution aud later the ends
of The vein were put together.
Wade Is now ut his home, with
every prospect Of living to good old
