Charleston. s. c. Oct. 5.-A unique fea-
ture Of the methods Of enorcing the dis
pensary laws has just come TO light here
The whisky constables, in their mad and
frantic efforts TO find contraband liquor,
and not content with their daily or even
hourly searching Of the private property
Of many of Charleston's residents, have,
with ruthless footsteps. invaded the sane
tity Of the grave yard. the home of the
dead, and there piled their calling. The
invasion was planned and carried into
execution while the funeral cortege Of a
prominent German citizen Of this city was
vending its way up the Meeting street
road, and about to turn into Magnolia
avenue, on their way to Bethany cemetery.
The story of the search as told by
Charles Houck, the sexton, is as follows:
Houck was in the grave putting the fin
ishing touches to it preparatory to receiv-
ing the body, when he beard, in a strange
voice. the order, II have a warrant to
search that house for contraband liquor
and would Ike You TO accompany me-"
Looking above Mr.. Houck observed the
constables, and a ladder having been
lowered ne willingly put himself at the
service of his visitors. The house in ques-
ton is known as the keepers house, a
one-StorY wooden structure where burial
implements are stored. Three small rooms
were examined and even the loft, which
was reached by ladder, but not a trace
or liquor was found-not even recepta-
Gle in which liquor had ever entered. The
constables looked about the grounds, and
then withdrew after thanking Mr.. Houck
for the consideration shown them. AS
the cOnstables stepped out of the cemetery
in came the cOrtege The constables say
that one Of their stool pigeons assured
them that whisky was stored in the GEM
etery, and hence the raid.

WHO Is THE RULER OF RUSSIA.
Strange stories About the Action of
the Young Emperor.

the Young Emperor.
From the Munchener Allgemeinc Zeitung.
A few weeks ago l wrote in this column
that more than ever the direction of all
state affairs lies in the hands of the EN-
press Maria Fedorouna. We might have
added, land the Finance Minister
Witte." This latter fact. from a modern
point of view cannot be looked upon as
a disadvantage for Russia, as Witte is a
clever determined, strong-willed man,
who will go to any limits, If necessary.
Such a man. who is at the same time able
to execute his political plans, who does
not go half way or give up, has long been
wanting in Russia. But the striking re-
tirement of the car and MS young wife
causes much comment and feeling of
uncertainty. They avoid all Intercourse
with others when possible, and even avoid
giving audiences to the foreign ambassa-
doris The audience of the French ambas-
sador M. MontebellO, was only accom-
plished by the appeal of the minister of
finance to the doWager empress. And then
the continual showing forward of the dow
ager empress on all occasions and other
things add to the discomfort We hear
even of attempts on the life of the car
made in Peterhof palace, fortunately
without serious consequences. The truth
as to these reports is difficult to get at.
The officials deny that such things hap
pen, as matter of principle; at least one
never hears the full truth from them. The
foreign ministers resident here Know abb
the scenes Those who do happen to know
dare not talk. Investigations also lead to
naught.
But in the last few weeks. certainly, no
attempt on the life of the car has been
made The retirement of the emperor is
assuredly only artificial.
Recently, it is sald a diplomat went to
Peterhof and asked for an audience, but
he was told that the czar and czarina were
i'll and could not receive him. Perhaps the
dowager empress, if the minister wished
it. might be the go-between. The ambas-
sador did not wish this. and returned to
st. Petersburg.
Again, the people are excited because
the coronation of the young pair has not
taken place. They do not like to have it
postponed until next May. Here seem to
be some of the reasons for the state of af-
fairs in Russia. In Russia the car and
czarina are not looked upon as full un-
til they have been crowned in the Krem-
lin at Moscow. When this is accomplished
the people of Russia will grow more quiet.
The confinement of the young empress is
expected in the first days of September.

Paris Cor. London Telegraph.
Some of the inhabitants of those breezy
districts outside Paris known as Bondy,
Raincy and Villemonble are afflicted with
a strange craze. They are under the i'm
preston that a large treasure of gold,
jewels, plate and artistic objects of great
value is buried somewhere between Mont
fermeil and the Fort Of Vaujours. A So
ciety has been formed for the purpose of
exploring the countryside, and half dozen
men afflicted with the gold fever turn out
every night with pickax and shovel in
order to discover the hidden store, which
is destined, If found, to turn some of the
excavators into milliopaires and heroes of
fortune, worthy TO figure as genuine Monte
arrested by the local gendarmes. The
booted, spurred and cock hated represen-
tatiYes OF authority had not heard of any
their beat. # they had they would in
all probability have excayated for it in
their om-duty hours. They accordingly
pany them to the gendarmerie, where it
was made clear by means of documents
and Identification that the suspected per-
sons, We're peaceful shopkeepers and re-
tired functionaries, residing in the dis
trict, who had been impelled by mysteri-
GUS call to shoulder the shovel and go
out IN quest OF buried ore.
The supposed treasure has an historic
and interesting origin. 1t is said that Ma
rie Antoinette, on the eve of the flight to
Varennes, in 1871, sent a Golfer full of gold,
jewels, miniatures and important papers
to be buried in the Forest of Bondy, and
that plan of the place where the precious
objects We're deposited was made for the
Inflated queen This plan a Belgianynam-
ed Nanhoven, who was in the royal ser
vice copied for himself. After the battle
of Waterloo Vanhoven returned to France
and repaired to the Forest of Bondy, but
he failed to find out the spot indicated on
his plan. owing to the many changes which
had taken place in the wood within TWEEN
tly-four years The Belgian died destitute
in the COur des Miracles. Later on a per-
son bearing the same name ais the present
President of the Republic, and who was
supposed to be crazy, obtained permission
from the Emperor Napoleon III. to search
the forest for the treasure, at his own cost
and peril. This Faure claimed to be in pos
session of Vanhovens plan, but the docu-
ment, if he had it, was burned down with
his hut a few days after his death
war as what remained of Bondy Forest
was much damaged by the Germans.
These failures have not discouraged the
new treas ure- seekers, who are confident
in the success of their quest. A local for
tune-teller is of opinion that the Golfer
is in a garden, and the owner of this place
is accordingly delving from morning to
night. This is rather disappointing to the
others, who are led by an expert in gleom-
etry; but they, nevertheless. pursue their
work Of excavation literally hoping one
day or night to strike the long-lost coffpr
with his pick or shovel and to cry ''Eure-
