Misadventure That SefeIl an Ac:or in
a Realistic Play.
Last winter number of literary
people indulged from time to time in
amateur theatricals, says London
Tid-Bits, During February they
produced a comedy. One of the act
ors played the part OF burglar and
had to climb up the outside of the
house in which the entertainment
was given and enter through the
window, which was at the rear of
the improvised stage. He hurried
around from the dressing rooms and
yaliantly commenced to struggle up
the wall, when policeman grasped
him by the neck, thinking him q
veritable burglar. He started to ex-
plain, but the minion Of the law
would have none of it. The audience
was wondering in the meantime why
the play did not proceed, and the
young actors and actresses on the
stage were eagerly waiting for the
burglar to enter and give them the
cue, when they heard shrieks, yells,
oaths and threats from the garden.
Rushing out, they found the anna
teur burglar thrashing wildly about
the grass, while q brawny policeman
sat on his shoulders hammering his

HER EXERCISE,
Mrs. Cleveland Takes Keen Enjoy
mcnt in Waking.

mept IN wHing.
Mrs. Cleveland does not ride BIZ
cycle, but she does what is perhaps
better she walks, says the Wash
ington Star. She walks well, too,
and almost any bright morning she
may be seen on her promenade,
usually en- route for morning call
at some friends house, or taking a
constitutional pure and simple. Her
costume on such occasions is a short
walking skirt, clearing the ground
by two inches, q close fitting jacket
and chinchilla collar On her head
she wears a close round hat gar:
nished with q fancy feather and q
dotten veil tied closely over her face.
She walks along with free step
and an air of thorough enjoyment,
and her bright eyes and glowing
checks indicate the pleasure she
finds in her favorite exercise. Dur
ing the social season she found these
morning walks the best stimulant
after tedious reception in crowded
rooms and an overheated atmosphere,
and after q brisk walk through the
white house grounds, along f street,
to Miss Herbert's, or across the
park for a chat with Mrs. Lamont,
she was able to continue her social
round with renewed vigor.
Mrs. Clevelands constant good
spirits and health are source Of
continued wonder to her friends, and
to inquiries as to the fountain of
youth whence she draws her supplies,
she answers that she finds it in the
daily exercise in the open air which
she has made point of taking for
the past five years, and that she re-
CARDS walking as more healthful and
natural than any other form of open
air sport.

PROTECTING THE C2AR.
Precautions That Have to Be Resorts
ed to bv Atitocratic Rulers.


From 1885 to the,time OF his death
the late car of Russia, Alexander
ILL.,, never appeared outside his bed
room and study without q fine steel
suit of mail, which would protect his
body, back and front, between his
collar bone and his loins, from the
dagger of the assassin, says Public
Opinion. Excepting his valet and
his wife nobody had seen this suit of
main, as it was worn beneath the
underciothes and uniform, but the
Gears unwillingness to go even to q
cabinet council without it was an
open secret in all the courts of Eu-
rope. Bismarck at one time wore
such a coat, as did also Stambuloff
and Crispi. The Italian ey-premier,
indeed, still wears, for protection
from the assassin's bullet or knife,
light shirt of mail of double thick
mess over the heart. None of these
men, however, resorted to such pre-
caution until repeated attempts at
assassination had been made True
it is that uneasy lies the head that
wears q crown"
Nicholas II. of Russia has waited
for no such attempt on his life. Ever
since the last arrest of nihilist stu
,dents at Odessa ne has worn shirt
lof nickel and steel, onerous rs the
garment must be to man of his in
;ferior physique and lethargic habits.
Still stranger stories OF his fear and
icaution have penetrated the walls of
the imperial palace and gained Gre
idence among the people of his capital.
Although no dagger has been laid on
Ibis pillow to warn him, and no warn
ing of death has been put under his
ldinner-plate to plague him, the car
never visits his dinner-table or bed
without the company of trusted at
,tendant. 1t is this attendants busi-
mess to examine every napkin and to
tnrn every plate on the table before
: his majesty sits down to eat, and to
nnmake and make again the whole
bed before his majesty retires for the
might. AT every door of the dining
room and bedchamber stands Cos
sack guard, day and night, and from
every dish that is served at the i'm
perial table special watcher in the
court kitchen must eat mouthful
before it is served to prevent any
chance OF poisoning. AS from 1885
to 1895 it can now be said with truth
that not bird could fall to the
ground within ten miles OF the inn
,perial palace without being seen by
q hundred eyes,.

NEARLY TEN MILLION MEN.
Number of Troops the United States
Could Put in the Field.

According to report on the
organized militia of the United
States, which has just been prepared
by the war department, the United
States, in case of need, can put
g, 467 ,694 men in the field.
At the close of the year 1895 every
state and territory, with the excep-
ton of the Indian territory and
Alaska, had an organized national
guard. The total force of the militia
numbers 1869, of which 1O2, 6O4
composed the infantry arm, 5,2l5 the
cavalry, 5,267 the artillery, 649
special corps and 1, ,443 generals and
staff officers. The total appropris-
'tion allowed the militia by the gov
ernment amounted to S400, 900,
while the states during the same
period, spent s2,S34,9 974 on the Or
CARNATIONS. 1t is estimated that
mobilization of the militia could be
effected in the different states and
territories in from three hours in the
District of Columbia to seventy-two
hours in Oregon, other state organi-
cations assembling between these
two periods.
1t is estimated that in case OF
necessity Illinois could place S52, 625
in the field; Pennsylvania comes next
