ereign's Omnipotence.
A man who was present at the corona
ton of the late czar says that he has
kept like o ver-to-be-forgotten vision
the memory of the ecstasy of the crowd
Frustrated at the threshold of the
church where the holy mystery was
taking place.
81 recall" he adds, "a certain little,
old woman whose extraordinary fervor
drew tears to our eyes. Over her dirty
dress she carried ragged bag, which
contained, doubtless, piece of black
bread. She was evidently from some
distant province, and had been walking
for a month or more, living on aims,
sleeping in stable with the cattle, i'm.
PEELED by mysterious force. Perhaps
she was fulfilling a vow, perhaps her
poor, distorted brain pictured Moscow
as place of felicity, a paradise, where
the unhappy would be cured Of their
sorrows. Squatted in the mud, her
hands clasping n shepherds staff, she
was gazing fxedly before her. Her
wrinkled face of waxlike color was
transfgured with enthusiasm. Her lips
murmured prayer, but her eyes were
gazing into Heaven. There was in this
eye superhuman expression, sad and
serene at the same time. This was dead
to all thought, to all sentiment Of real
life; she existed as in a dream. Touched
with pity, approached her and slipped
ruble into her hand. Without glance
at him who bestowed this fortune, the
old woman evidently believed that
miracle had been accomplished, tears
ran down her cheeks, and she extended
her arms toward the Father, toward
the czar, to whom she attributed this
benefit. t."-Courrier des -Unis.

The Oneen.a Mistress.

1t is said that the one woman Of whou
Queen Victoria stands in respectful
awe is Mrs. Mussens, the housekeeper of
Balmoral castle She has held her posi-,
ton of power for many years, and rules
everybody who comes within her do
main with o rod of iron, even to the
queen herself. Her majesty on one oc-
casion took a fancy to certain house
maid and requested that the care OF
her own apartments should be given tc
the girl. Mrs. Mussens, however,
thought differently, and informed her
majesty that such a mark of preference
would only turn the young woman's
head and utterly spoil her. The queen
of Great Britain and Ireland and en-
press of India listened in silence and
meekly acquiesced in her housekeeper's
Gecision.-Detroit Free Press.

RAILROAD YARD TERRoRs.

Even Train Men Cannot Cross the Tracks
at Night Without Being Confused.
"It's hard for the ordinary traveller
railroad yard" said an old and expert
enced trainman at one OF the big Jersey
city terminals to o Sun reporter. ''The
commuter who scans the yards daily
as he is smoothly riding through them,
naturally enough fails to appreciate
the mass of detail in the duties of the
men who are employed to switch him
safely into the station. Of course, the
routine work we do, fraught with re-
sponsibility and danger as it is, becomes
mechanical enough to us in time, but
there is one thing that have never
been able to do with GOODNESS in all the
years have been employed here, and
that is to cross this network Of tracks
at night. The experience of Thomas
Baker, the freight clerk at the Lehigh
Valley station, in Communipaw, is proof
that 1 am not the only hardened rail-
roader afflicted in that way. Baker was
run down by an engine because he got
bewildered in the maze of tracks. 1
don't blame him. Why, it's enough to
give man heart disease to attempt to
cross such an aggregation of rails, with
lot of headlights moving ali around
him and scores of bells ringing and
whistles ringing in his ears.
'Every time that am compelled to
make such trip-and l only do so now
adays when I am compelled to-I get
the lay of the land well in my mind,
and note which engines are moving and
which are not; but it is of no use. By
the time I'm in the middle of the yard
my head is In whirl, the headlights
are dancing all around me, and skip
and dodge around frantically until l
get safely on the other side. Usually
most of the locomotives are standing
still in the trainshed, but it's hard to
believe it when you are in front of
them. Some commuters who work in
Jersey City have trick of walking into
the station from the yard to save the
trouble of going around by the regular
way, but when can I always warn
them of the danger of doing son. Y.

COSTLY BELGIAN GUN BARRELS
They Are Made by Hand and by Com
pllcated Process

They Are Made by Hand and by q Com
pllcated Process
The United States consul in Liege de-
scribes, in recent report, the manu-
facture of and trade in damascus gun
barrels, wholly hand made, in the val
ley OF the Vesdre, In Liege province.
These barrels are for sporting guns,
and the industry Is many years old,
the workmen in the villages in the val
ley being almost all gun-barrel makers,
and the trade descending from father
to son.
The best barrels are a combination
of the best primary substances, welded
and forged by the martelage O. froid
process; the steel comes from Vest
phalia, the iron Ia manufactured at
Couvin, in Belgium; the coal, which is
specially suited for the work, from the
Herve highlands, In Belgium, while
the motive power of the factories is
obtained from the River Vesdre- The
industry has increased greatly in re-
cent years. These armes de luxe, as
they are called, are made by men work
ing in pairs, each pair in its own little
factory, quite independent Of all others,
They are paid by the piece, the wages
being good, and about 1000 men are
engaged on the work in the valley.
Medium quality barrels are made Of
coke iron and steel, while the superior
quality, which are produced in the
Vesdre valley, ore made Of charcoal
iron and steel. An ingenious ''mar-
riage" of these metals gives compost
ton which, when manufactured, guar
antees the required solidity and resist
ance.
The improvement in these damascus
barrels dates from the introduction Of
percussion caps in the place Of the old
flint lock. Formerly iron barrels alone
were produced; now, to manufacture
the curled damascus, the ingot is COM
posed of 80 sheets of iron and steel,
each having q thickness of four milli-
meters, which are enveloped in q sheet
iron box, placed in an oven, and welded
together at the lowest possible temper
ature. Each barrel receives $50 weld
ing beats while being forged, and If
single one of these Is unsuccessful
the barrel may be failure, either by
alteration of the damascened work or
an imperfection in the welding.
There is no official test of these ar1nes
de luxe, but they are thoroughly tested
by the manufacturers before delivery
The annual production of damascus
barrels in the Vesdrc valley is about
100000 pairs, of value of about $780,
GOO francs. Of this the wages alone
for all the guns are hand made-amount
to about 100000 francs. The princi-
pal markets are Great Britain and the
United States. About half the barrels
made in the Vesdre valley are sold to
manufacturers of arms in Liege to be
mounted.-N. Y. Times.

AN EXPEDITION TO MEET HANSEN
Chicago Parties Talk OF starting for the
Frozen North OF Siberia.

Chicago, Feb. 17.-Recent reports con-
corning the return Of DR.. Nansen from
the north pole have induced a Chicago
syndicate to consider the advisability
of dispatching a party at once to the
lena river for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the foundation for the accounts
received, as well as to assist If possible
the returning explorers in their probable
march toward either Yakutsk or r.
kutsk.
The man selected to lead the party
is Evelyn B. Baldwin, meteorologist of
Lieutenant Ptrry's North Greenland
expedition in 1S9S-94.
Much information concerning the re-
gion to be traversed, as well as special
facilities for expediting Baldwin on
his journey to Siberia, has been afford
ed by Monsieur A S. Savine and Comte
De Toulse Lautre, now in Chicago, who
is connected with a Siberian railway.
In an interview, Baldwin said:
Barring such information concerning
Nansens whereabouts as would make
a proposed trip expedient at this time,
1 shall go direct from San Francisco
to Vladivistock. on the Pacific coast,
more than 5000 miles from st. Peters
burg. From Vladivistock to Irkutsk,
the first $50 miles, will be by railway.
and the remaining distance by post.
Twenty-Five days will be occupied in
making the transit. The time to be
consumed between Chicago and r.
kutsk will be about so days"

Secretary Morton FiendIess in
the Lower House.
HE WAS AGAIN CRITICIZED
The Senate Committee on Elections Re
ports Favoraby on Republican
From Delaware.

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE agricultu-
raj appropriation bill occupied the at
tention Of the house today. A great
deal Of criticism of Secretary Morton
was INDUCED in on both sides of the po-
litical aisle. At last Mr.. Mearson, of
North Carolina, arose ana asked II
there was not some member, demo-
cratic, populist or republican, who
would raise a voice in his defence. His
question was greeted with chorus
Of noes" from all sides of the house.
The omission in the bill of provi-
sion for chief clerk OF the bureau OF
animal industry at salary OF $ZOOO,
which was made upon the secretary
recommendation, led to the insinuatlon
that the secretary wanted to legislate
out Of office p. f. Lysle, free silver
democrat from Missouri, the present in
cumbent, who was appointed on the
recommendation of the Missouri sena-
ors, and it was minated that Secretary
Morton's action was an attempt to re-
taliate upon Senator Vest for the lat
ter's attack on him in the senate about
two weeks ago.
An amendment appropriating $42,-
$50 for a new edition Of the horse book
was adopted
Before the bill was taken up the SEN
ate amendments to the urgent defclen-
cy bill were non-concurred in, and
bill was passed for the examination and
classification of lands in the railroad
grants in California.
The bill is practically an extension or
the act of the last congress for the
segregation of mineral lands in the
railroad grants in Idaho and Montana
to the state of California.
Mr.. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, report
ed a resolution of inquiry calling on the
secretary Of the treasury for an exhaus-
tive report relative to the sale Of bonds
under the resumption act between the
two periods between 1879 and March l,
1898, and between the latter date and
January 1, 1896.
Mr. Washington, of Tennessee, Offer
ed an amendment calling on the secre-
tary for detailed information as to
the manner in which bonds had been
sold between 1873 and 1898. Mr.. Wash
ington said the country should know
whether the methods pursued by this
administration when the treasury was
in dire distress were different from
those pursued by other administrations
Mr.. Dalzell said he would have no OBJ
lection to the purpose of Mr. Washing
toms amendment, but he thought it was
not germane to the resolution before th'
house.
Mr. Washington's resolution was de
feated and the resolution was adopted
The house went into committee Of thu
whole, and resumed consideration o
the agricultural bill under the five-min
ute rule.
Amendments were adopted as fol
lows:
On motion of Mr.. Doolittle, of Wash
ington, directing the secretary of ag
riculture to distribute fibre flax seed il
the state of Washington.
On motion of Mr.. Long, of Kansas
appropriating 5000 for continuing tn
Z investigation of modes of irrigation.

Advertisement That Has a SIM
lister Meaning.
AN INFERENCE OF A RIOT
Murdcrers of Pearl BrNan Are Confined
at the Place Named for the
Assemblagc.

Cincinnati, Feb. 17.-Walling and
Jackson, the accused murderers Of
Pearl Bryan, will start from the Jail
at $50 tomorrow morning for hearing
in the police court on the charge of be-
ing fugitives from Justlce. In view of
the fact the following advertisement
which appeared in Il morning paper
without signature is regarded with sus-
picion to say the least:
"Wanted-Men, able bodied, 1000 ut
Court and Sycamore streets at $50
o'clock Tuesday morning. Come ready
for work"
The entrance to the Jail is at the cor
ner Of Court and Sycamore streets. The
natural inference is that it is an in
element to riot, inserted in the paper
by some unknown fOmenter of mischief.
If 1000 men report there tomorrow ready
ror work that means trouble. Whatever
was the personal feelings of the police
towards the prisoners, they can be de-
pended on to keep their oath to uphold
the law and the same may be said of
the local military. The probabilities
are against trouble.
DR.. w. II. Crane, the chemist, who
discovered cocaine in the stomach of
Pearl Bryan, has just reported ofiic-
tally that his analysis shows the pres
ence of two-thirds of a grain of that
drug.
The revelations of George H. Jackson
of the facts of that midnight drive 10
the scene of the tragedy have had aB
effect upon the prisoners more distress
ing than anything else that has trans
pired.
A black bead, a few blonde hairs
| and some hair pins have been found in
the newly discovered rockaway. The
circumstances with the established fact
of the rockaway being out on the night
are corroborative Of Jacksons state
ment. 1t is barely probable that habeas
corpus proceedings may be employed 10
delay the extradition to Kentucky. La
the meantime Governor Bradley has
set his foot down against lynching and
the good citizens of Newport resent the
imputation that they are not able 10
give the prisoners a fair trial.
MORE CLUES.
Detectives today learned that Pearl
Bryan was kept at the Herman hotel
in Newport on the night before the
murder. The officers have a complete
chain of evidence against Jackson and
Walling from the time Pearl Bryan
came here from Greencastle, Ind, Mon
day, the 9th, to Friday night, Janu-
airy s1st, when she was murdered in
a secluded spot between Fort Thomas
and Newport. Governor Bushnell will
hear the requisitiOn case tomorrow
after which there is no doubt of the
transfer Of the two suspects to Sheriff
Plummer of Campbell county, Ken
lucky. who will hold them at Newport
Jail. They will have a speedy trial
