NICHOLAS ITS OBJECT LESSON.
He Rides on . Street Car to Show His or
 nosrs That It Isn't . Dfsxrace.

nosrs That It Isn't . Disxraoe. | Nicholas II of Russia has had some trouble in bending the stiff necked mili- tary etiquette of his St Petersburg reg iments to suit his rather liberal ideas He is not popular with the army, as were the three Alexanders, despite his gifts of reading rooms and dining halls to crack regiments, and therefore the
 innovations he recommends are intro auced very slowly. Ever since he as- rended the throne, for instance, he has been trying to discredit the notion that an army officer may not ride with pro- priety in a common street car. The army officer in St. Petersburg has long been supposed to be too rich and power ful and too far superior to civilians to associate with the ordinary street car crowd
 One of the few untitled officers in the Russian capital yentured few weeks | ago to ride in street car to his bar racks It was presumptuous and courageous act. for he had to alight be- fore the crack cavalrymen's casino of the city. It proved to be very indis- erect act, too. for his fellow officers at once took him to task for disgracing his | uniform, refused to listen to his cita- tions uf the czar's remarks on the sub | ject, and eventually, after days of per secution, began urging on him the pro priety of his resigning his commission. | In his distress the persecuted officer turned to friend in the ministry of war, who brought the whole affair to | the czar's notice. It was 4 o'clock in the afternoon when Nicholas heard the story. He at once put on a dark suit ordered his adjutant to do the same, and together they went to the | spot where the persecuted officer had taken car. They boarded a car, rode on it to the barracks, aighted, boarded a returning car, and went back to the palace. The czar wrote out brief ac- count of this little trip. and added to it the inquiry:
 "Am still worthy to wear the uni form of Russian officer?''
 He signed the document Nicholas, !" and sent 1t to the colonel of the perse- cuted officers regiment Since then there has been peace in the officers | quarters of that regiment, and the man who rode on horse car has been treated | with the deference belonging to one who pulls wires at court
 Perhaps Nicholas got his idea of an object lesson in this case from Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria The emperor heard several years ago that his officers in Vienna were agitated over the ques- tion of the propriety of riding in omni- buses. He remarked impatiently that this was a weighty subject for large brains and should be settled before any body's mind broke down under it. He then put on full uniform, took with him an adjutant in full uniform and had an omnibus ride. The ride was reported in the newspapers, and the question of \ propriety was settled.

Stomach, sometimes called waterbrash, and burning pain, distress, nausea, dyspepsia, are cured by Hoods Sarsa- parilla. This it accomplishes because with its wonderful power as blood purifier, Hoods Sarsaparilla gently tones and strengthens the stomach and digestive organs, invigorates the liver, creates an appetite, gives refreshing sleep, and raises the health tone.

EXPECT PERMANENT HIGH PRICES
President of the California Produc,
Exchange Talks.

A recent article in the San Francisco
Call says:
Albert Gerberding, president of the
produce exchange, predicts long season
of prosperity for California, and declares
that the present advance in wheat signi-
fles return of good times. Speaking on
this topic he said:
"All at once the world appreciates the
fact that wheat is wheat. There have
been two failures in Australia, a partial
failure In India, diminished supply in
the Argentine republic, and a light crop
in Russia. Prices will not recede, but on
the contrary, advance The rally is note
worthy in California because the extreme
of depression was reached In this state
mo, do not predict any failures or
disasters among brokers on account of
the advance. There may be some pinch
ing, but the result will be prosperity for
the farmers. 1 am surprised that the
newspapers did not make more of the
significant fact that cargo of wheat
was recently shipped from this port con-
signed to India. 1 am informed that three
or four more cargoes will shortly follow
for the same destination. 1t is not the
disposal of the surplus on hand that will
bring better times, but the assurance to
the farmer of future market. Whenever
the farmers obtain profitable prices for
their products prosperity will return.
1.-THE advance is all along the line"
continued Mr.. Gerberding, land It sight
fles to me that brighter times are in
store for California. Every industry of
the state will participate in the benefits
to accrue"

OCEAN GROVE TO HAVE A RIVAL
Rev. DIR. simpson to Found n Great
Enterprise on the Hudson.


Rev. DR.. Simpson, head of the Chris
tian Alliance OF New York, who holds
the worlds record as raiser of mis-
sionary money, is about to launch a great
religious enterprise at Nyack, on the
Hudson. His plan is to found a great
Christian Alliance settlement on the
heights of the Hudson at Nyack, which
shall rival Ocean Grove in extent and
surpass it in the size and Importance
of the church buildings to be erected.
The property which DIR. Simpson recently
purchased in his own name as a nucleus
for the settlement comprises 2S acres of
land, beautifully situated high up on
South mountain, overlooking the river.
The most elaborate structure in the
new settlement will be an imposing tab
ernacle, intended to accommodate 5000
persons. This large audience hall win
be used for conventions and camp meet
ing services during the summer, and will
be the mecca for the Christian Alliance
adherents from all over the country. The
rest of the property It is proposed to lay
out in building plots for the erection Of
cottages and hotels.
DIR. Simpson Is said to have plenty of
money at his command with which 10
carry out his plans. and 100000 enthusi-
astic followers to patronize the new re-
sort.
