endeavoring to establish its exclusive

ruled by the shah Mozaffer-ed-Din
writes Felix Aucaigne in Harper,
Weekly.
The late Shah fell a victim to the
feelings OF vengeance entertained by
the followers of the Babism sect, which
started. some forty years ago, a revolu-
uonary movement of social and re-
Hgious character. The Babists were
crushed by the troops of Nassr-ed- Din.
and thousands of them suffered death,
with accompaniment of frightful tor
lures. The sect was considered as thor
oughly annihilated. But it's surviving
adherents could easily have recruited
scme fanatical adopts, like the mollah
heza, especially after dissatisfaction
had been created in Persia by the
granting of the tobacco monopoly to a
British firm, SO injurious to the Persian
producers and consumers, and also by
other measures, like the facilities of
fered clandestinely to the expectation
Of grain. This expectation is prohib-
tied in Persia, as in Morocco, by the
Mussulman tradition and by law. Late
ly frightful bread riots occurred in sew
eral cities of Iran, and they were sup
pressed only after bloody fights. The
tobacco monopoly was withdrawn re-
luctantly by Nassr-ed-Din. who de-
rived large and regular income from
it; but this withdrawal could not wipe
out the anger of the Persians, all of
whom. women and men, are constantly
smoking, and who had been compelled
to desist from it during the six months
because their mollahs and ulemas had
preached that the tobacco was contain
mated through being handled by

Says the Bicycle Kills saloons.

Collector Mize of the internal rev.

n falling off in the number of Chicago
saloons for the coming year. The an
nual prepayment of the special tax on
saloons is due July l. For the last
week there has been quite Il run on the
collectors office, but not nearly as
many applicants as in former years.
The indications point to n dropping off
OF about 1000 saloons from the number
carried on the books last year The
brewers trust, by the wedding out pro.

to have had considerable to do with
the falling off, but the bicycle craze,

Ihat woman is pushing herself for

coming mans equal, often his superior,
can no longer be denied There is one
branch, however, in which she has not
tried to excel. That is trickcry in bust
ness affairs. An ambitious woman.
with much shrewdness, has recently
been doing some clever work that is
worthy of notice, but hardly of com
mendatiOn.
One of Dcnver's most successful min
Ing brokers formed a habit of jotting
down on his cuff quotations of stocks
and planning his sales and purchases
for the following day or two, thus not
having to bother with a memorandum,
which might get lost or mislaid.
Suddenly fortune ceased to smile on
him. All his carefully-laid plans were
foiled. He who had ocTn so successful
now lost on every sale. He was bewil-
dered and could not understand the sud
den change. One day neighbor re-
marked to him that his curiosity had
been aroused by the peculiarly stylish
laundress who went to the brokers'
rooms weekly for his laundry. The
broker Immediately saw through the
little scheme, and began putting down
quotations and plans for sales the exact
contrary of what he intended and with
in a week the shrewd laundress was
financially ruined.

legislature of that state, Is the best
known man In that state, and by long
odds the most prominent in political
life. Mr.. McEnery is just fifty-nine
years of age. his election to the Senate
having occurred, by happy coinci-
dence, on his birthday. The family is
of Irish extraction. Senator McEnery
was born at Monroe; was educated at
the Annapolis Naval Academy, at the
University of Virginia, Spring Hill
College (Alabama), and the New York
jtate Law School at Poughkeepsie,
New York. He served as a lieutenant
IN the Confederate army. The election
of his brother, John McEnery. as Gov
ernor, in 1872. threw him into
politics. Nominated as Lieutenant
Governor In 1879, he succeeded to the
Governorship in 1881 by the death Of
Governor Wiltz. In 1884 he was elected
to succeed himself by large majority.
In 1892 he was again nominated for the
Governorship. but was defeated by
Murphy J. Foster, the candidate of the
anti-lottery Democrats. Mr.. McEnery
was appointed to the Supreme Bench
in 1888. He has still four years to
serve, and will not resign the Judge
ship until he takes his seat as Senator
In March. 1897. Judge McEnery was
net a candidate for the Senate, and en-
tered the field only the night before he
was elected, when 1t became evident
that 1t required the strongest Democrat
in the state to beat Mr.. Denegre, the
Independent candidate.
