THE czAR,s CORONATION.
Next Springs Ceremonies VIII Cost Over
6B,OOO,0OO.


The imperial coronation shortly to
take place in Moscow will doubtless be
one Of the grandest state displays ever
witnessed in Europe. Russian corona
tions are not numerous; an occasion Of
this kind comes but once in q lifetime,
and the policy of the Russian imperial
family has always been to dazzle the
eyes Of their subjects by magnificent
court dramas, in which the car is real
ly car. To this end Russian corona.
tions have been made as splendid as
the resources Of the empire CT lid per-
NIT. says the Boston Transcript. The
coronation of the emperor who has just
passed away cost over $4,0O0,000; that
of his predecessor considerably over S.
100000; but in each case show was
provided for the people of Russia that
was wildly remembered until supplant
ed In the popular mind by the splendors
Of the next. The coronation is regarded
as much more than the simple act OF
placing bauble on the head of the first
man in the state; it is series of gor-
geous ceremonials, and the people of
every nation that forms part of the
greatest empire on the earth are re-
quired, through their representatives,
to assist, while the spectacle is made
still more brilliant by the presence of
the ambassadors of every power on the
globe, and of large numbers of princes
of the reigning houses, for royalty al
ways assemblies on these occasions to
congratulate the newly-crowned mon
arch. The preparations for Russian
coronation are very elaborate, and COM
prise, among other things, the laying
up of great stores of provisions in Mos
COW, for the houses of that venerable
city are compelled, on coronation occa-
sions, to entertain from 100000 to 6OO,-
600 strangers who journey to witness
the ceremonies.

PRESENTED. WITH A FOOT.

GuInry Hotel Victim Remembers the Uni
versity of Michigan.
A letter received by student from
Denver, Col, states that the late Robert
C. Greiner made curious request to
the University of Michigan. Greiner
was native Of Jackson, Mich, and was
killed two months ago in the boiler
explosion at the Gumry hotel. His
wife died with him.
The will was written by Greiner
himself But the last clause concerns
the University of Michigan. 1t directs
that after his death his right foot
shall be amputated above the ankle and
presented to the Ann Arbor medical
school. It is to be mounted as skel-
eton preparation and labeled: "Bob's
Game Foot"
Mr.. Greiner had peculiarly de-
formed ankle and dislocated toe, which
had been great source Of trouble to
him, but such puzzle to physicians
that he came to take great pride in it.
Hence his desire to perpetuate the alb
normality. University authorities have
heard nothing of the peculiar request,
and it is not known whether he ever
was treated there for any of the difficult
ties arising from his defqrmity.

QUEEN OF ANARCHY.
Louise Michel, the Paris Red, Who
Threaten sto Come to America.
IA Woman of Ideas, But FOOL" Is the
ParisIan Estimate of Her-Event-
full Career Of This Strange
Woman.

The published rumor of the coming
of Louise Michel, of Paris, "the queen
of anarchy" as she is called there, has
caused the greatest excitement among
the anarchists and advanced socialists
in this country. The ostensible pur-
pose of her visit is to raise money to
found q home in England for political
refugees, but the real aim, it is believed.
Is to inspire the female anarchists and
socialists In this country with some of
the fire and earnestness which she eX-
hibits In her work for the cause.
Louise Michel is an educated woman.
She was teacher in the schools in Paris
before the commune. She reads Greek,
Latin and English readily, and hervoice
and pen are ever at the service of the
cause to which she has devoted her life.
Her figure is slight, but her ply siognomy
strong. In manner aud conversation
she is brusque and impatient. Her
complexion is fresh, though she lives
In a miserable room in the garnet of u
large apartment house outside the
fortifcations, where she has two desks
heaped with literary rubbish. She has

visitor once said: 1.-THE only clean
thing in the unclean whole was Louise
Michel"
81 am an anarchist, but I do not ASSOC
ciate with any class of socialists" said
this famous iconoclast once in reply to
question, and then she added: II am
in favor of right and harmony instead
Of force. Women must do their work
Individually. do not believe in CIV
ing them the ballot. Look at the fool
ish things men have done with it!
Would women be less foolish?"
Louise Michel was born in 1893, and
it is said she has royal blood in her
veins. She was never handsome, but
when she speaks she sets the crowd
a1ame. Her voice is harsh, but her
keen eyes and strong face thrust out
seem to catch hold of her auditors
before she speaks. Before the war of
| 1870 she wanted to kill the emperor.
During the commune she was in the
thickest of the mischief, organizing
clubs and revolutionary meetings.
| Wounded in the defense of Fort Isy
against the Versailles troops she was
afterward banished to New Caledonia.
She was pardoned in 1880 and returned
to Paris to renew the agitation. For
participation in the black flag riot Of
1883 she was sentenced to six years.
imprisonment, but was pardoned by
President Grevy.

Michel.

ly, II think could raise the money"

Third-class passengers stay In this car.
You get of at tho next station" said
tho conductor, in voice of fierce warn
ing, as he passed on.
In about an hour the conductor came
into tho car again and gave the bell
rope q vicious pull. The engine re.
sponded with two short whistles, and
gradually the train slackened Its speed
and stopped.
Come, now, you get of here" said
the conductor, roughly; we're behind
time already, and you want to hurry
up about it,
Again the mans lip curled in an ugly
way, but he made no answer, except to
gather up the few paper bundles Of
bread and meat on the seat before him.
Then, taking his child in his arms. he
followed the conductor to the platform
and stepped of the train. Before It.

beside the track. and fifty yards behind
it the remains of an old dug-out. Not
even trail showed where it was that
any human being had visited the spot.
And round was the dreary waste Of
billowy plains and the burning sun
overhead.
In the rear of the sentry box its pro-
jecting roof had cast little shade,
and hero the man sat down upon the
ground with his child still in his arms.
Strange things, for him, came to his
eyes-tears. The little one looked up
at him in a puzzled way, and he hasti-
" brushed his hand across his face
