the third son Of the czar, heir to the
throne in succession to his brother,
Grand Duke Nicholas, the czarowitz and
present heir apparent. Grand Duke
George. the second son. has renounced
his rights to accession, as his condition
is considered hopeless.
The following official bulletin was
issued at 10 o'clock this morning:
1.-THE czar slept few hours last night.
This morning he Ia not drowsy and has
some appetite"
INCREASING LAssITUDE.
LONDON. Oct. PA special to the
Pail Mall Gazette from Moscow, dated
IL :1G q. m. today, says the czar is suf-
fering from increasing lassitude and
.drowsiness and it is almost impossible
to keep him awake except when he is
attacked by the nervous epasms
which almost amount to commissions
and which add to his exhaustion.
On the other hand, the sufferer has
taken more food. and is able to retain it.
According to the Moscow correspond
ent of the Pail Mall Gazette, the we'd
ding of the czarowitz and Princess Alix
is fixed for today or tomorrow. The
exact time depends on the cars condi-
tion.
FRENCH PHYSICIAN SUMMONED.
A. dispatch to the Times from ST..
Petersburg Gays that among the various
rumors in circulation there is one to the
effect that Prof. Bergman, the we'll
known German physician. has declined
to 60 to Lividia to attend the czar, and
that French phyaicien has been sum-
noned with view to the possibility OF
an operation if it be found that only one
Of his majesty's kidneys is affected.
MEAGER INFORMATION.
Detailed accounts are given of the
condition OF the czar, but nothing can be
known positively beyond the official
bulletins. Even the ministers and
ambassadors receive no more information
tnan is contained in the bulletins. It is
true, however, that since the 18th OF the
current month all state papers have been
signed by the czarowitz, by the czar's
orders.
The minister OF finance has tele-
graphed the president of the Odessa
exchange, begging him to call the
bankers and representativ yes of financial
firms together and appeal to them for
the abstentation, under the circum-
STANCES, from all speculation, especially
the purchase OF gold, and also to do

By the Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG. Oct. PA bulletin
issued from Lividia at s D. m. this
evening, and signed by the five doctors
in attendance on the czar, says:
During the day his majesty showed
no signs of somnolence. His appetite
and spirits are better. The ndema OF
the feet has somewhat increased"
The dispatch says the sacrament was
partaken of by his majesty on Sunday,
and this is taken to indicate that his
condition is not as serious as would be
supposed from the prior dispatch. stat
ing that the last sacrament of the church
had been administered to him. The
dispatch makes this statement. men
tioning no date on which the sacrament
was partsken OF. and the supposition
here now is that the czar partook simply
OF the holy communion on Sunday.

tin does not present the gravity of the
czar's condition. The temporary relief
by tapping, he adds, means nothing. 1t
is the general opinion his majesty is al
ready dying. 1t is known that his un-
consciousness lasted several hours.
THE IMPERIAL WEDDING.
It is not known whether the wedding
OF the czarowitz and Princess Alix oc-
Cured today or not. This silence is
ominous. 1t may be that surgical
operation has delayed the ceremony.
Persistent rumore are in circulation of
mournful sick bed scenes and other
touching incidents. Princess Alix, it is
said, is still waging desperate struggle
against the fanatical zeal of the orthodox
clergymen, who ineist upon her declaring
the evangelical faith is accursed. The
princess cannot be persuaded the
matter is mere formality, and demands
that she may be excused from pronounce
ing the words in queBtion. The correct
ness OF these rumors cannot be vcuched
for, and the fact is only mentioned that
they are in circulation and are receiving
fresh nourishment from the absence OF
news about the wedding. However. as
news from Lividia generally tales con-
siderable time in coming. news OF the
marriage may still be expected.
ONLY A BETRoTHAL,

graph says no hears it is probable that
only an ecclesiastical betrothal and ex-
change of wedding rings occurred today

the eastern church. is as indissoluble as

NEST egg" of course, and above all
things the hen must not see you do
this, for you and she are playing at
hide-and-seek.
Some day you will find her sitting on

brown eyes. Don't say word; trip

give her back those specllled eggs, slip

She will pluck you, but do not mind

house where there was many a rat
hole. She had been on the eggs four
weeks when little turkey voices were
heard beneath her and little turkey
heads peeped out from among her
breast feathers. When took her up
by both wings such pluclIing and pick
ing and scratching as she did! looked,
and behold! not turkey chick was
there. The little things just out OF
the shell, obeying the wild instinct OF
their nature, had ''scooted" in the
twinkling of an eye, leaving a nest OF
empty shells. / hunted all over the
henhouse, but no sight or sound Of
them could be heard but, as turned
away, heard the old hen calling soft
ly; then, more softly still, came the
answers, and from ratholcs, from wisps
of scattered straw, from chips, from
cracks and from corners the little ones
came creeping back to the nest l
caught them, though, after all, and did
as an old woman told me. With my
finger nail | scratched off the little
pip" at the end of each tiny bill, and,
holding the little turkey firmly and
placing finger in the bill to keep it
open, crammed the little pip-which
looks like piece Of meal husband q
whole grain Of black pepper down each
little throat. The black pepper makes
them warm. Then the young turkeys
arc treated to dab of salt grease and
snuff, mixed together in brown paste,
first on the top of each head and then
under each little throat. Their food is
now to be wet corn meal and chopped
garlic on onion tops-with an OCCASION
al seasoning of black pepper on damp
days. How those little turkeys like
onion tops! They actually squeal with
delight when they smell them. What
tussling when two or three are hanging
on to the same piece! What funny
little things they are!-so weak in their
legs, SO easily upset, yet SO strong in
their bills. You can lift little turkey
off the ground with an onion top if he
once gets a firm hold. Mary r. Cox, In

BOROUGH TOWNS.
The Extraordinary Powers Formerly Pos
sessed by Them in England.

The Extraordinary Powers Formerly Pos
sessed by Them in England.
Borough towns in England had for
merly extraordinary powers. Each had
it's system of home rule, and was little
imperium in imperio. 1t controlled its
trades, manufactures and professional
occupations, the numbers to be en-
ployed, and fixed the price of wages
and commodities. 1t determined what
were offenses against the order, morals
and well-being of the borough, and it's
codes assigned the punishments. Its
bylaws were a tyranny, and its mayor
was frequently little despot, as real
as any cadi of the east.
In the court of Hastings book were
recorded the prcscntments of the jury,
and we know from these what were
the offenses and modes of punishment
The magistrates at sessions did as much
for county matters and fixed the prices
of all labor. No one could trade from
one county to another without their
license, just as no stranger could follow
an occupation or reside in borough
without the mayors permit The
tumbrel, stocks, pillory, branks and
the skimmington were the usual in
struments of punishment for slight Of
lenses, but the cucking stool was the
favorite for scolds and cheating bakers.
Whipping was constantly resorted to,
and was thought especially good for
women and boys. Anyone willing
might be employed to perform it, and
sometimes woman undertook it for
the sake of the fee. which varied from
four pence to a shilling. To witness il
formed part of public amusement, as
in the case of hanging, and men visited
the jails on whipping days to see the
women whipped. Forestalling-buy
ing out of market to sell again above
market price-was very grave offense
and was severely punished.
A Mr.. Rusby, an eminent corn fac

Pussy's Uncomfortable Trip.

The steamer from Newport to Provi.
dence, r. l., had passenger the other
day which escaped the notice of the
purser and paid no fare. On the arrival
of the steamer peculiar noise was
heard in the paddle box, and investiga-
ton revealed the presence of very
disconsolate and much-bcdragglcd cat,
and its appearance gave conclusive evil
dence that it had made q very unpleas-
ant trip. Its own mother would prob
ably not have recognized it, but after
it had been taken out and dried it was
found to be the feline pet of the New
port agent of the line. 1t was sent
back on the next trip to its master in
much more comfortable quarters, and
the purser says it purred all the way.
