Scores of men on and or the ex. change will remember it as long as they live in the way that ono remembers a great peril, and even the men who made hundreds of thousands through that days awful drop in values will always look back upon it with twinge of terror.
 Some time, when these troublous times have passed and Wall street hasa chauce to pause for a bit of gossip again, great story will be told about that Tuesday-a story that will astound everybody ex- cept few of the country's greatest spec ulators, and story that will make many people in this and other cities turn pale and catch their breaths,
 They will show then how frightfully narrow was the escape from a financial catastrophe of crushing magnitude,
 They will know that the fate of the street, and with it the fate of scores of tributaries to the street, legitimate and otherwise, of bankers, merchants aud manufacturers, too numerous to stop to count, hung in the balance, and that q fingers touch from any one of three men would have turned the scale ruin ward And when thoy learn this they will probably come as near to really thanking God as their religion or lack of religion will lot them, because instead of the one mans finger touch weighting the scale down with disaster there was a sturdy shoulder push from all three of that days destinies of the street to force it up into safety, New York Press.

cemen,ing the Russian Empire.

The czar of Russia shows undoubted sagacity in adopting the best physical means to hold together his vast empire. He has pushed the transcaspian military railway southeastward until it has al- most reached the frontiers of British In- dia and China, the two powers most likely todispute with him the acquisition of further dominion in Central Asia Having thus assured the safety of the Russian position in the southeast, he has undertaken more stupcndous work in beginning the construction of an un- broken liEe of railway to connect Eu- ropean Russia with a port on the Pacific ocean The whole length of the Asiatic or main Siberian line is 800 miles.
 The estimated cost is S20O, ,000, 900. The work, which is now progressing from both ends toward the center, is to be completed in about 10 years. There will then be a stretch of railway, all located npon Russian territory, about (, 600 miles in length. holding European Russia and Asiatic Russia firmly together with Q continuous band of steel. Until the pro posed railway running north and south to connect the two Americas shall have been built there will be nothing on earth to rival this great stretch of eastern and western railway across the Russian cm. pire-Omaha Bee.

4 Murderer rcn.ionor.

Ambassador Bayard has been in structed to make inquiries in regard to whether Captain w. c, Minor is still alive, or whether the government is pay ing a salary to dead officer Captain Minor is a retired officer of the medical corps, his retirement being duo to brain trouble consequent upon a sunstroke re- ceived in the line of duty in Florida in 1870, and he was sentenced for life in an English asylum for shooting man on English soil 9l years ago. It is the only case on record of murderer borne on the rolls of the army and drawing the regular pay of his grade, His pay is drawn by Richard E. Rice of New Ha- ven. the appointed cUnservator, who files quarterly certificates bearing the sig. nature of the superintendent of the Broadmere Criminal LRnatie asylum to the effect that Captain Minor is living. The last report from the superintendent read; "Ho was confined in the asylum April F, 1872 His oifense consisted of shooting with a revolver and killing a man in the BeSidsre road, Lambeth. The relatives of Captain Minor have re- peatcdly made strenuous efforts through the state department to secure his TO- lease.-Albaay Express.

pigeons Do Mt nv by sleht.

The numerous experiments made by balloonists have proved that pigeons are incapable of flying at any great height. Birds thrown out at 6,000 meters fell like dead and even at the moderate height of 800 meters pigeons liberated by the bal loonist Gaston Tissandier approached tie earth in a spiral course. It is evil dent, hence, that they are not guided wholly by sight. To bring point 300 miles distant within the range of vision it would be necessary to ascend nearly 20,000 meters. The carrier pigeon, start ing on such U journey, must consequent lystart with faith in the unseen. -Phila- delDhia Press

Cost of tle Rorden cn.s.

The cost to the county of the trial of Lizzie Borden in Fall River, Mass, is now estimated at Sl4.000 What Miss Bordeus cOunsors fees were may only be inferred, but the pecuniary rewards of successful practitioners in New Eng land are as rule--outside of Boston at least--not more than one-third of what they are in the big cities. For defending Lizzie Borden in New York court and securing her acquittal her leading coun- sel would not have asked less than $25.- 900. The items of the bill of costs to tho county include $500 to Assistant Dis trict Attorney William II.

A state soda Fountain.

It may souud like Munchausen yarn, but it is an actual fact that in the squint eyed little burg of Sodayille, in Linn county, in block 8 Of the town plat, there is a soda spring, and that the last legislature, in its infinite wisdom. pro yided that 'dnasmuch as there is a great and growing demand on the part of the public for the waters of said spring, ibe state would spend $500 to improve it. This is at last the fond realization of the long felt want which has been loafng around the country like the ghost of boyhood's happy days in quest of a watermelon patch where haply fingered no vicious dog. It is a grand and im- posing sight to sec the legislative fancy rising from the sordid contemplation of cold and unrcspousiye hog law and lowering on halcyon wings over the soft murmur of an idyllic state soda foun- tain.- Astoria (Or.)

ROques Appeals Again In
Mrs. Maybrtck's Behalf.


Mrs. Maybrtck's Behalf.
LONDON, May 2.-Baroness Roques, the
mother of Mrs. Maybrick, now undergoing
a sentence of Imprisonment for life upon
conviction OF having poisoned her husband.
has sent a letter to the newspapers, accom-
panied by a pamphlet, which is said to give
the latest evidence collected in favor Of
the prisoner. The Baroness appaals, as an
American and as a mother, for the assist
ance of the press in securing justice for
Mrs. Maybrick. The Baroness says that
she understands that the refusal of the
Home Office to reopen the Maybrick case
is due to the fact that the authorities are
in possession of secret adverse evidences,
but, the Baroness adds, she Is certain that
If she was informed of the nature OF this
evidence she would be able to refute. it.
Baroness Roques says that she is confident
that her daughter could give her much as
siStance IL she was allowed to converse
freely with the prisoner. This privilege,
however, is denied her.
The pamphlet contains an affidavit dated
Feb. 9, 1894, setting forth that the preScrip-
ton which the Baroness found in a Bible
formerly possessed by the late James May
brick. which prescription included arsenic,
is identified with the prescription mixed by
NJ. Brouant, the chemist of the Avenue

Maybrick obtained this prescription when
he suffered from a face eruption. The Aft
davit of Valentine Charles Blake, the

Mr.. Maybrick complained that he was I'M
