The Bloomers Failed.

Bloomers as an aid to smuggling were
tried by two San Francisco girls in an
experiment that failed. The girls took
passage to Honolulu on one of the mail
steamers and excited the suspicion of
the Hawaiian customs officers by going
ashore clad in voluminous boomers.
They were followed to house in Hon
olulu, where they discarded boomers
and 60 tins Of smuggled opium were
found. The girls were arrested and con-
victed of smuggling, but on appeal to
the supreme court the case against them
was dismissed because their guilt was
not proved clearly. The girls returned
to San Francisco few days ago IN the
steerage, wearing skirts

THE CARS BODYGUARD.
VIII General Tcherevin's Death End On
Phase of Russian Despotism?

Will General Tcherevin's Death End Ont
Phase Of Russian Despotism?
The death Of General Tcherevin is an
event of some importance, inasmuch as
it is expected to lead to the discontinu.
ance of the special institution which
the late general represented, and which.
in fact, he may be said to have created
the special guard, composed Of var1-
ETY. of persons known and unknown, in
cluding the police of the imperial resi-.
dence, for the protection Of the person OF
the car. At least it is rumored that the
late general is not likley to have sue
cessor in exactly the same position un-
der the present young car, and indeed
the condition of affairs now is so differ
ent from that which led to the creation
Of this extraordinary position in the
early years of the last reign that in all
probability its continuance in its pres
ent form will be considered unneces-
sary. Its present machinery may simply
be incorporated with the other depart
ments of the ministry Of the household,
if not at once, perhaps after the corona
tion. In any case some change IN this
respect is being discussed.
The high favor in which General
Tcherevin was held by the imperial
family was shown by the presence Of
the car and his imperial mother at the
bedside when the general breathed his
last. The removal Of the body to the
church Of the regiment of horse guards
was also attended by most Of the en-
peror's uncles and cousins, and the
dowager empress was present at prayers
in the mortuary chamber before the
coffin was carried by troopers Of the
horse guards, followed by the digni-
taries Of the court and government and
members Of the imperial family. Tho
body will be taken by rail on Saturday
to the late generals estate in the prov
ince of Kostroma
General Tcherevin distinguished him
self in the Polish campaign of 1868 aud
the Turkish war of 1877. During the
latter he was head OF the cEar'S CoSSack
bodyguard, which he commanded for
nine years From 1878 to 1880 he was
assistant chief of gendarmes and head Of
the third section Of his majesty's cabi-
net, otherwise the secret political police.
Subsequently he became assistant minis
ter of the interior. While he was in con-
t,,c1 of tho secret roIice an attemnt ras
made upon his life by nihilist, whom
the general horsewhipped on the spot,
after disarming him of arevolver. Alex
ander III attached the general to his
person and gave him immense authority
in all that concerned his majesty's safe
ty. He was therefore the constant COM
panion of the late car, and, although
be was very fond of good cheer, his keen
intellect was ever on the alert to serve
the best interests of his sovereign.-Lon-

A Touch Of Nature.

An American clergyman, whose dream
it had been to visit England, crossed the
ocean at last for his ten weeks vaca-
tion. For fortnight he enjoyed going
about alone from place to place, seeing
the sights, but he soon became lonely
and then homesick. One Saturday morn
ing he started out for long walk, hay
ing no plan for the mornings recrea-
tion. He penetrated far into the wide
reaches Of the east end. There were
crowds of men, women and children
wherever he went, but not face that
he had ever seen before or would ever
see again. Turning from the buster
streets he found a narrow lane and sat
down on the stone step Of dreary tene-
ment house.
While he was sitting there he heard
a child's sobbing voice from the open
hallway behind ~him-zaaLeaking aaoand
he saw little urchin crying as though
his heart would break. "What is the
matter, my little fellow" asked the
clergyman in his gentlest tone. "Home-
sick, SIR" said the child. "Since moth
er died have had no home. don't
seem to belong to anybody. Iwant some
one to talk to- well, lad, there are
two of us I am very lonely too. "But
haven't you home anywhere?" eyes,
but it is long way off, across the sea. !"
why don't you go back to it? If only
had home, I would never leave it"
The lonely minister, who had found
his vacation in the awful solitude Of
London unutterably depressing, did not
have an answer ready. But his heart
went out to the homeless little waif.
He took the child out Of the empty
house, obtained decent clothes for him at
a charitable institution, paid board for
him at lodging house, and finally car
ried him to America at the end Of the
vacation. Francisco Argonaut.

Henry Labouchere, in Truth, says:
IF Bryan had been wise he would
have gone in for bi-metallism. if it
pleased him, but could have left the
ratio independent. His ratio meant the
right of all to repudiate half the obliga-
tions, without lettering anyone in the
future. But the victors will do well to
realize that apart from bi-metallism
there is a strong growing feeling in
America against the huge accumula-
tons of capital in the hands of individ-

UNCLE SAM TO THE RESCUE


New York. Nov. 1.-THE World this
morning says: The steamship Boyne
of the Mercantile Steamship
of London arrived in port on Friday
from Gibraltar and Mediterranean
ports. Capt. Fisher told a remarkable
story TO Collector Of Port Kilbreth and
Others as to why be had entered port
without a manifest. His ship lay at
anchor of Smyrna, Turkey, in Asia, on
October 9. There had been several
riots in Smyrna for three or four DAYS,
and the din Of another conflict and the
cries Of victims OF the assassins came
over the waters that evening. A small
boat came up and an aged man begged
permission to go aboard. With him
were six others. three OF them
all Armenian refugees.
Capt. Fisher assented and in order to
be on the safe side, the refugees were
registered as passengers. Not long
afterwards a boatload of Turks came
aboard Capt. Fisher refused to deliv,
er the refugees. The Turkish officer
said he would give the Britisher until
morning to turn over the Armenians.
Capt. Fisher sought assistance. An 1t,
allan man-of-war refused to interfere,
When dawn came the United STATED
warship Minneapolis came into the
bay, The British flag was sent swing
ing out upside down. and the Mime.
apolis lookout saw the signal of dis,
tress. Capt. Fisher told his story. and
Admirable Thomas Selfridge, jr., com,
mandant of the European squadron,
said: We'll give you all the assist
ance YOU want. You'll take these
refugees safely out of port if I've got t.

fridge ordered off the barge with a de-
TAIL of marines and blue jackets over to
the British ship. with orders to hold
her safe from attack. Then the Ameri.
can consul was sent for, and it was
agreed that the Boyne should sail at
once under the escort of the Minneapo,
lis. Soon bloody Smyrna was many
miles behind. but the captain had for,
gotten his manifest. The Armenians
were landed at Ellis island.
