Disappointed by previous failure, the
men made the personal search as strict
as possible, but it was without result.
One of the inspectors even approached
Fidele. and insisted on examining the
rug with which the dog was covered, as
it might contain something hidden in
it's folds. Fidele gave low growl at
being thus disturbed. and its master
took it up gently, and said: Poor
Fidele is not accustomed to be treated
roughly. Well, you have found moth
ing. l told you SO. And now l suppose
we may proceed on our journey"
The chief examiner, bowing low, as
sured his excellency that he would not
be further detained, and he was soon
in his sledge once more, carrying his
pet dog in his arms, The horses paved
impatiently, and the merry bells began
to tinkle a chime of departure. In a
moment the swift sledge was out of
sight, leaving the disappointed customs
officers bewailing their i'll luck.

at the winter palace The young en-

preached, not little curiosity was
aroused as to the result of the wager.
It had become a lively topic of speculs-
ton since his departure, and bets had
been high on both sides. Even the en-
peror, who generally kept aloof from
such trifles, was amused at the incl
dent, and was Gu rious to know how the
marquis would explain the affair, as
the bat1led search at the frontier had
been promptly communicated to St.
Petersburg. The empress felt triumph
ant, and naturally concluded that the
ambassador, rather than risA a failure,
had given up the idea altogether.
Welcome back to St Petersburg"
she exclaimed, graciously extending
her imperial hand, and smiling as he
bent down over it. What news from

noff, who was the popular and ac-
complished French ambassador "If
you could but see the deep contrition
OF my heart for having had the pre-
sumption to defeat you, you would find
yourself amply avenged"
The young empress smiled graciously
and rejoined: VERY well, but prefer
deeds to words. That is what l try to
impress upon my people Apropos, you
know how we Russians pride ourselves
on the strictness and alertneSs of our
detectives, and how nothing escapes
their keen vigilance. AS you seem to
doubt the watchfulness of my subjects,
requested that the very next case of
detected smuggling be at once made
known to me-"
To doubt would be reasonable,
your majesty" said the marquis, with
smile. "Do let US hear the details"

rested and detained on the frontier for
smuggling all kinds OF contraband arti-

him red-handed in the act OF strang-

The Venerable Ex-President Of Princaton
College, Passes Peacefully Away Aftor
Long and Useful Life.
NEW YORK, Nov lS.--Rev. DR.. Jame3
McCosh, the venerable ex-president of
Princeton college, died Friday eveninn
at the institution which he did SO much
to build up, aged s4 years. DR.. McCosh
ad been critically i'll for two weeka.
lie did not suffer from any special all
ment, but died from physical weakness
and old age.
Mrs. Alexander Maitland and Mrs,'
David Magic, the doctors daughters,
and DR.. Andrew ]. McCosh, the attend
ing surgeon Of the Presbyterian hospts
tai in this city, were with the venerable
educator when the end came. The dis
tinguished patient passed away calm
ly. without pain
Dr. McCosh will always be remem-
bered as the man that did more than
any other to make Princeton great
university. He assumed the presidency
in 1865, coming direct from Queens c0s-
lege, Belfast, Ireland. where he filed
the chair OF logic and metaphysics. His
very first message to the trustees
resulted in an almost immediate
broadening of the scope of Princeton's
education. 1t contained eight recon-
mendations, on Of which, the sugges-
tion that the growth of a scholarship
fund for needy students be fostered,
has played a prom nent part in the life
OF the college. 1t was at once carried
out and Princeton is now almost un-
rivaled in this respect. Another rec
ommendation of equal Importance was
that which led to the establishment OF
number of elective courses. Money
began to pour into the empty Golfers Of
the institution and the number of stu.
dents increased until accommodations
were outgrown.
Then came the array of buildings
which sprang up during DR.. McCosh's
time, among which may be mentioned
Halstead observatory, 1859; the gym
nasium, 1869; Reunion hall, 1870; the
library, 1878; the school Of science,
1873; University hall, 1875; Wither-
spoon hall, 1877; observatory of in
struction, 1873; Murray hall, 1879;
Marquand chapel, 1881, and the biolog'
ical laboratory, 1887.
In 1887 DR.. McCosh, feeling that he
could not long fulfill his arduous du.
ties as president, retired voluntarily
and was succeeded by DR.. Patton. Ht
still, however, continued his relations
with the college, giving series of lee
lures in philosophy for several years
Although advanced in age his mine
continued as clear as ever, and only {
slight bowling of the frame and a few
burrows in the cheek indicated the raw
ages of time. Only last spring he com
pleted a valuable work on ethics.

What the Completed Official Returns Of the
Recent Election Show. usa


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind Nov 1s.-Dubois
and Sullivan counties have sent in
their official returns to the secretary
of state, completing the list of coun-
ties to report. The returns have all
been tabulated, but on account of the
clamorons demand of the newly-elected
county officials for their certificates
the official footings of the returns have
not as yet been made.
The completed officials returns. how
ever, show that Mr.. Owen is elected
by a plurality of 1885, or majority
over all candidates of 3,sa4
The total vote on the head of the
ticket is as follows: Myers, 239, ,40S;
Owen 2s4,2 Taylor pro.), 1l,O2l;
Robinson pop.), 29,937.
Mr.. Myers and Mr.. Owen both lead
their tickets by nearly 1000 in the
state. This is largely due to the igno-
rance of the voters, who stamped the
name of the head of the ticket, think
ing it voted the whole ticket. The
loss of both parties in this way was
about the same.
