Paris, Oct. 20. The Gar 5
struggle with death continues.
The political life of Europe is
hanging in suspense upon what is
taking place in a little Crimean
village, where lies dying the abb
solute ruelr of 100, 900 900 human
beings. The origin and progress
of his disease seems so strange,
that the report that he has been
poisoned ciSfulates with persist
ance 1t is not probable that
this is true. but all extraordinary
events are possible in Russia.
For two days past all those who
have access to the Czarowitch
have been questioned about him.
According to all the information
obtainable, he is young man of
average intelligence, and inclin-
ed to liberal ideas, especially IN
religious matters. For a long
time he manifested a liking for
Germany, but in this respect he
seems to have changed. His
chief adviser will be General
Domlovitch. of whom he is very
fond. The general is an emerge
tic soldier of absolutely Slavonic
ideas.
The marriage of the Czarowitch
to Princess Alix of Hesse will
certainly take with brief delay.
He will break off his liaison with
the Polish Jewess Danseuse, who
has had great influence on him.
This danseuse was the first love
affair of this young prince, who /,
until he made her acquaintance
had maintained great reserve,
and was inclined to solitude. The
future young Emperor of Russia
is very fond of his uncle, Grand
Duke Sergius. and. above all. OF
the Grand Duchess. who is a very
beautiful woman. She was born
a Princess of Hesse, and is a sis
ter of the future Empress of Rus
STA. 1t is said that the influence
of the Grand Duchess was the
only thing which has proved
powerful enough to bring the
Czarowitch to consent to the mar
riage arranged for him.
The future Car is very Russian
in his habits and morals. In
this he is not like his father, who
is very reserved. During his stay
III London last spring, the Caro-
witch went to all sorts of places
where princes are not in the habit
of visiting.
In order to meet the expecta-
tons of Europe. it would be
necessary for the young prince to
have all possible talents and vir-
tues. He seems disposed to rule
alike with prudence, and it is not
likely that he will at least for the
present in any way change the
policy followed BY his father. 1t
is not reasonable to ask anything
more of this unhappy Prince,
who, at the age of twenty six
years, is called on to undergo the
terrible slavery of being chief of

A Moor at His Prayers.

while travelling through Algeria few
years ago" said Charles L. Berton of Lon
don II was greatly interested In watching
the Mohammedan style of worship. One
day saw Moor come into the mosque.
At the door he dropped his slippers from
his feet, picked them up in his hand,
walked over the mating to where a foun-
tain was playing, dropped his slippers, and
aeftly tlrusting his feet into them stepped
Into the water He then thoroughly
washed his mouth, his eyes, his ears, then
his face and neck, then his arms to the ell
bows his hands and lastly his feet and
legs to the knees. That was done to typify
the purifying of what he said, saw and
heard, his deeds and his walks. Then,
emerging from the water, he dropped his
slippers from his feet, and going to dis
tant corner of the mosque stood facing
Mecca, the holy city of the Mohammedans
Standing there, he began to humble a
prayer, the words of which were inaudible
where 1 stood, but I could distinctly see
the motions of his mouth
after few moments he kneeled down,
still speaking, and bending forward upon
his hands laid his forehead upon the floor.
Afterward he raised his head and body
erect and then stood up as at first. This
routine was gone through with three
times, not interrupting his words, only
changing his position at regular intervals
After he had finished his prayer he picked
up his slippers and came to the door, drop
ped them on the threshold, again thrust
his feet into them and walked away. ST

SHOT DOWN BY A GUARD.
An Insane Prisones at Deer Island Report
ed Shot by Guard While Escaping.

Boston. May 29.-Last Saturday after.
noon, an insane colored man, prisoner
on Deer Island, attempted to make his
escape and after a hot chase was recap
ured by the guards. Sunday morning the
man died. No information was given the
public of the affair, and it was not until
yesterday afternoon that the facts leaked
out. An ex-prisoner, coming from the
island gave the first information, and
told somewhat sensational story con-
corning the case. He said that a colored
man named Moore, prisoner at the in
sitution, had been shot Saturday after
noon by guard while endeavoring to
make his escape from the island. DR..
Ring ordered one of the guards to pur-
sue him and after calling to the fleeing
mulatto to halt, the guard, it is said
fired at him. The man fell when about
knee deep in the water, and before he
had chance to regain his feet or make
an effort to swim, his pursuers were
upon him and he was conveyed back to
the institution. Sunday morning, it is
alleged, the man died.

A Case of the Ruling Passion.

An old lady named Margaret Thomp.
son, who died about century ago, was u
noted snuff taker and was evidently deter
mined to go to her grave with a liberal ac-
compartment of the fragrant dust. She
instructed that her body, after it had been
placed in the coffin, should be covered with
Scotch snuff, and the will went on to say:
''Six men to be my bearers who are
known to be the greatest snuff takers in
the parish of ST. James, Westminster. In
stead of mourning, each to wear snuff
colored beaver hat. Six maidens of my ac-
quaintance (named) to bear my pail and
to carry box filled with the best Scotch
snuff, to take for their refreshment as they
60 along. Before my corpse desire the
minister may be invited to walk and to
take a certain quantity of the said snuff,
not exceeding one pound. and desire my
old and faithful servant, Sarah Stuart, to
walk before the corpse and to distribute
every 30 yards large handful of Scotch
snuff on the ground and upon the crowd
who may possibly follow me to my burial
place. And I also desire at least two
bushels of the said snuff may be distribute.

DEERING.
Col. Edward Moore Appears Before
Judge Elder.

He Refused to Pay Constable I1Isley the
License for Dog on His Estate-He
Asked for More Time--Case Continued
Until Next Monday,
In the Deering Municipal Court, yes
terday there appeared before Judge Elder
Colonel Edward Moore, one of the lead
ing men of the city, veteran of the
war, a former mem Der of both branches
Of the State legislature andsa government
contractor of extensive business opera
tions. The story of his appearance in
court yesterday is as follows:
A week ago Monday Constable Illsley,
who has charge of the licensing of dogs,
went to Col. Moore's fine estate at Nor
rilPs Corner to take dog that has it's
home there or to take the license fee.
one or the other Col. Moore said the
dog did not belong'Uo him, but Con-
stable Illsley said that that made no diff
erence. The dog was harbored on his
premises and he was responsible for the
license. He said that he would pay the
license when he payed his taxes, and
spoke rather discourteously to the con-
stable.
The latter resolved to bring matters to
crisis. He took measures to prove that
the dog WAS at the house Sunday night
and went to the house yesterday morn
ing with q warrant. Col. Moore har-
messed his horse and went down to see
Judge Elder. The witness was there to
prove that The dog was at that time ON
the Colonel's premises.
The latter appealed for more time, and
the Gaze will be tried next Monday
1t is stated by the consta BILE that proba-
bly, the dog belongs to Lemuel B. Moore,
the Colonel's brother who lives on the
estate. Also it is said that the Colonel
and his brother claimed that if the dog
is kept in the barn and not allowed to
run at large the license need not be paid
Both sides are apparently determined
in the matter. The Judge and the con-
stable can see no reason why the license
should not be paid, and intend that it
shall or the dog be killed.
