UNEASY ABOUT HiAZINTOFF.
he Attempted to Kill a Privy Council
and Has Escaped From Custodv

BE Attempted to Kill Privy Councillor
and Has Escaped From Custody.
Private advices from St. Petersburg
say that great uneasiness prevails in
court circles there over the escape of
the young man Hiazintof, who couple
OF months ago attempted to kill Privy
Counselor Pobyedonoszef. When in
prison, Hiazintoff's demeanor was SO
strange that he was sent to an asylum
for the insane and there kept under OBJ
servation night and day in special care.
On June ~ he pleaded that the terribly
hot weather was killing him, and in
consequence he was for the first time
allowed to take exercise in the asylum
grounds with the other inmates. On
the same afternoon be managed to es-
cape, evidently with the conniyance Of
somebody within the asylum, and moth
ing has since been heard of him.
The uneasiness referred to is due to
the belief that Hiazintoff will most GER
tainly be heard from sooner or later in
connection with some desperate deed.
He is a militant nihilist, imbued with
fanatical belief in the necessity for
shedding the blood Of tyrants who stand
in the way Of the regeneration Of his
country, and he is utterly reckless of his
own life The police are confident that
he will not attempt to leave Russia and
are equally certain that he will not long
remain idle. London Cor. New York

WILL HE GET HER?
The Khedive of Egypt Wants to Marry On
Of the Sultan's Daughters.

The Khedive of Egypt Wants to Marry One
Of the Sultan's Daughters.
The young khedive Of Egypt is hav-
ing very uncomfortable time in Con-
stantinople and is doubtless sorry that
he eyer went there. The sultan appears
to take malicious delight in making the
young man feel his inferiority and has
carried this so far as to refuse 80 allow
his daughter to be given in marriage to
the common Egyptian pasha who owes
his position to the support of infdel
Englishmen. The khediye's mother,
however, continues assiduously to in
trigue in the harems on her sons be-
half, and as she is admittedly very
clever woman it is believed that her
persistency will ultimately be rewarded
by success.
The Sultan at present has only two
recognized daughters Of manageable
age. One is ID years old, and the other
is 10. It was suggested early in the
negotiations that the sultan's daughter
is forbidden by unwritten law to marry
outside the limits Of the Ottoman EN-
pire, but his majesty himself promptly
disposed Of that argument by declaring
that Egypt is an integral part of his
empire, and it is certainly recognized
as such by all the European powers
If the sultan should relent, the mar
rage will take place in Constantinople
after the khedive by his suzerain' S gra-
cious permission, has taken short holi-
day trip through Europe.
Unlike the khedive, young King Alex
ander was treated by the sultan with
the greatest distinction and has returned
to Servia more persuaded than ever
that he is the greatest man in Europe

HIS NAME NOT NEEDED.

Mine Host and Madame Knew Him Only by
the Number of His Chair.
sTor the past five years. said an
observing man, IT have been taking
most of my luncheons at little Ger
man restaurant in the Swamp and
my dinners at a little French restau-
rant up town. During all that time
! have said Gluten tag to my Ger
man host and Bon soir' to madame
Occasionally we have exchanged re-
marks about the weather and have
in other ways given evidence Of mu-
tual esteem. Yet neither of them
knows my name.
"When I first went to the Ger
mans, I wondered how he kept an
account of my indebtedness. I sat
at a long table with 90 others and Or
dered what I wanted: There we're
only two walters, and they had half
a dozen tables to attend to, while the
proprietor tended bar and acted as
cashier. When I finished my meal,
I called for my check and was direct
ed to the proprietor. He glanced at
a little slate and told me what I owed.
AS I was stranger, as my order had
not been written down and as he had
not even seen me at the table, I could
not see how he had identified me or
how he could tell what I had had.
Later I learned that each chair was
numbered, and the walters would
bawl out to him as they gave an Or
der to the kitchen the number of the
chair to which that order belonged
as, for instance: Roast chicken and
lettuce salad. No. g. Consequently
all the diners were known simply by
the number of the chairs they hap
pened to occupy. I might be No. 1
one day and No. 80 the next. My
name was not required.
cat madame's the system was sim
liar. There checks were used, but
she identified them only by the num-
bers of the tables to which they re-
ferred. Recently I noticed in the
garden, which is utilized in summer,
that numbers had been painted on
the posts againstwhich the tables are
placed, This is a new departure.
1T is not altogether agreeable to
my vanity to have my identity thus
disguised and belittled as though ]
were q convict or South African
diamond miner, but as long as the
excellence Of the cooking and service
is maintained I suppose I must not
grumble." New York Sun.

CONFEDERATE BRlGADIERs.
zney Are Rapidly Passing From the Are,
of National Politics.

AneJ Are Rapidly Passing From the Arena
of National Politics.
The men who enjoyed prominence. in
the military and civil service Of the
confederacy are rapidly passing from
the arena Of national politics. Below is
record of such as are still in active
life in Washington: -
The senior United States senator from
Alabama, John r. Morgan, was a briga-
der general in the Confederate army,
and her other senator, James L. Pugh,
was a member of the Confederate con-
gress. Hon. Joseph Wheeler, who at
tanned the rank of lieutenant general in
the Confederate service, has for 10 years
been there preventative in congress from
the Eighth Alabama district.
The senior senator from Georgia, John
B. Gordon, was likewise a lieutenant
general in the army of the confederacy.
The Hon. Edward c. Walthau of Mis-
s1slppi, major general in the Confed-
crate service, and Of late the Junior
United States senator from his native
state, while not in active politics, hav.
ing resigned for the balance of his pres
ent term in the upper house, has been
elected for and is confidently expected
to take his seat in that honorable body
in March, 1895.
The senior United States senator from
Missouri, Francis NJ Cockrell, was a
brigadier general in the Confederate
army, and the other senator from that
commonwealth, George g. Vest, held
positions in both houses of the Confed-
crate congress.
The present senior United States SEN
ators from both North and South Caro-
lima, Matt W. Ransom and M. G. But
Ter, were major generals in the Confed-
crate service.
The representatives from Tennessee
in the upper house of congress are Isham
G. Harris, the senior, and William B.
Bate, who is the junior senator from
that commonwealth The first men
toned was war governor of his native
state, and the last named was major
general in the Confederate army.
And, lastly, Eppa Hunton, who saw
service as brigadier general in the
Confederate army, at present occupies
the position of junior senator from Vir-
ginia in the congress of the United
States.
Thus do we perceive that of the multi
tude of those who distinguished them
selves in the military and civil annals
Of the confederacy only 10 remain in
national halls UNFOLDING in the present,
as they strove to do in the past the
rights and interest of the section OF
which they are the honored representa-
tives.-Augusta Chronicle.

Got His Diamond Back.

A nice looking young fellow in even
ing dress called on certain physician
a night Or two ago with a peculiar
wound in his face. The physician heard
his explanation and then extracted a
large diamond from under the ragged
skin. This. young man was engaged tc
society girl He was very much in
love with her. One night, filled with
moonlight and poetry, he slipped dia-
mond ring on her finger. The lady a
few days after gave it to another, to
whom she was engaged The original
donor of the ring saw it Oh his rivals

fortunate young man resented this and
proceeded to show it by knocking the
original owner down. The stone staid
with him. He is having it set for an
other girl. Capital

HER LAST HALF YEAR.

A Chicago Woman Who Is Passing the FL
nal Six Months of Her Life Royalty.
Heroes do not always die on battle
fields. We all know that, but now and
then the truth of the statement is ex-
emplifed in manner that is forceful
One evening there came into the room
where I sat a beautiful woman taste
fully attired. Her eyes were unnatural
ly brilliant, and in her cheeks there
famed color like stain of blood.
recognized her at once as a we'll known
and highly successful teacher in one of
Chicago's public schools. There was
something about her appearance that
surprised me, for heretofore upon the
occasions when we had met she had been
notable for the plainness, not to say the
shabbiness of her attire. The rich vel
vet Of the cape she wore and the feath-
ers on her elegant hat caused me to ex-
claim:
''Why, how handsome you look!
What have you struck"
"Death!' was the answer ''The doc
tors have told me today that I have an
incurable disease and cannot possibly
live longer than six months. I have
scrimped myself all my life to save
money to buy books and cultivate my
mind l am through with all that
Now I am going to take a hand at the
material pleasures. If have but half
year to live I'll live royalty"
Since that time she has wasted rapid
ly, but the room where she lies is full of
flowers and objects of beauty. The
gowns she wears are creations of beauty,
and she allows no mourning nor any al
fusion to her fate in her presence. She
faces death with an absolute heroism
that makes one want to applaud rather
than to weep. This manifestation is
not SO grand as the manifestation of
moral courage might be, but there is
something about it which makes the
blood tinele a bit.-Chicago Herald.

A Terrible Disaster,

By far the most appalling disaste T
which has ever befallen this country was
that which swept over the country in
the vicinity of Hinckley last Saturday,
leaving death and destruction in it's
wake.
The forest fires had been smoldering
for weeks and months in this driest sea-
son in the annals of Minnesota. They
had spread in many directions and had
burned vast quantities of standing pine.
Saturday 8 fierce wind sprung up out Of
the southeast and dashed the fires into a
storm of fame. Their own fury increas-
ed the violence of the wind which was
soon sweeping through the forests of
Pine county fifty to sixty miles an hour
carrying on it's wings the ungovernable
and implacable fire. It swept on Hinck-
ley, village of twelve hundred, and de-
stroyed it so suddenly that the people
had scarcely time to turn from their
houses to run for safety, so fercely that
i've hundred or more are dead there.
1t 1eaped upon the. settlement of Sand
stone and blotted it out. 1t licked up
every little farming hamlet in its course
and ate up every bit of combustable ma.
terial for miles, leaving not stick OF
timber nor spear of any vegetable.
The latest reports received here we're
that there we're, by actual count, Gle
bodies discovered. It is estimated that
nearly 1000 lives we're lost. The losses
TO property are beyond computation.
